  1. [R2] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US Genial: Me motiva a poner mi propia traila
  2. [R5] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US A review: Excellent Game 5 Stars 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
  3. [R8] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US Cooking madness: Dang give me time to up my level. But so far good
  4. [R11] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US It’s great: I honestly love it, I’m binge playing it😅.
  5. [R1] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Fun game but pay to win: I’ve been playing for two to three weeks. Game is fun but you can only get through higher levels by buying stuff. They give you “ rewards” by completing levels but have to watch ads to get them , but the ads are never there. Says preparing to look for ads but there never are any. Ever. In 15 days. Fun game but not worth the aggravation
  6. [R13] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Why? Just why?: Okay so, this game is fun but also mean it does not let you upgrade to better things for a while and even if it does it costs SO MUCH!!!!!! And it’s really annoying because there are lots of adds! 2/5 rating bad game, I don’t recommend.
  7. [R15] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US Ugh! Get you bugs fixed: I was having fun and even bought more diamonds and out of nowhere I was knocked from level 80 to 48 and I don’t know why! I was so irritated I stopped playing! Who wants to redo 32 levels
  8. [R17] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 4/5 · US Only problem: Wish the updates for the restaurants foods weren’t so expensive🫩🥲
  9. [R4] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Ad baiting: You can play like up to level 20 after that ad after every level crazy if not swiped ur card so you pay for no ads this generation of mobile games are dead
  10. [R7] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Slowly losing appeal: Ads have slowly increased into every part of game. Now even awards you earn can only be given if an ad is watched for each award. Why play additional games if we are not even given award without having to watch an ad. Disappointed
  11. [R9] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US You've become completely brazen: There's already an ad every second in the game; as soon as you tap something, an ad pops up. And now, when you double your reward, the ad is just a black screen that won't close. You have to restart the game, which means watching ads pointlessly again, or sometimes you don't even get the reward, and the button to increase it doesn't work. You've become so greedy; aren't you getting enough money from all these ads already? · translated
  12. [R28] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Upgrade: I beat this game in the beginning of the year. It would be nice if yall updated it so I can play next level thanks
  13. [R10] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Recent updates and more ads: I really loved this app until recently. I purchase very few game apps but did this one for the reduced adds. The new update has added ads for the weekly pass awards. What a shame that you have tried to add revenue by downgrading what is fun in the app. I’d give you 5 stars if you update the app to what it was. A
  14. [R18] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Have to spend money: You can’t get any boosters without spending money. Gets tiresome after a while.
  15. [R22] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Ok: Even with full upgrades and doing 5 combo, it is impossible to get past lvl 35 unless you pay real money.
  16. [R16] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Horrible now: So you pay for no ads but now they put them on the things you can win. It’s just so many ads now. Good game horrible ads.
  17. [R24] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Gold pass purchase $4.99: Please HELP! I’m still getting ads the gold pass purchase was to remove ads
  18. [R46] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Money: I paid for no ads and now on the new pass even though not purchasing it, the bottom line awards you now have to watch ads to get the awards. Another money grab. This game is fun, but not with having to pay money for everything and wasting time watching ads.
