  1. [R3] Cow Evolution 3/5 · US Not enough content: The game is really fun for the first few hours but there is just not enough content it gets insanely repetitive. Would be nice if there was maybe more upgrades or something so you actually had a reason to reset for higher earnings but has it is there’s nothing to do
  2. [R12] Cow Evolution 3/5 · US Disappointing: You eventually get hard locked at only needing diamonds to actually upgrade your abilities and you just have to wait for days to get the currency needed to advance. Great game for the first 1 or 2 days of playing but a waste of time afterwards.
  3. [R26] Cow Evolution 4/5 · US Nostalgic and fun: I played this game when I was like 8 and I played it again at 25. It’s great for all ages! Super fun, satisfying and interesting to see all the different cow designs and try to strategize on the best way to get all the achievements and unlock new cows! Every time you think the game is about to end it reveals something new. An excellent and timeless game!
  4. [R35] Cow Evolution 5/5 · US Cow Evolution: I absolutely love this game! It is so fun and I made it up to 6 planets, I really recommend this game.
  5. [R13] Cow Evolution 1/5 · US Can’t even play!: Ok so I see a bunch of reviews that says it’s five stars ⭐️ but when I try to get in the game it kicks me out and I tried like twenty times and still didn’t even work!!
  6. [R21] Cow Evolution 3/5 · US App crashes and cows disappear: Mindless game. I like it for that reason. But the more I’m playing it, the more I notice my high value cows just disappearing. Normally after merge all the way up to level up my Supreme Being. Then when I go the next level down, any remaining cows in that level are gone. That and the app sometimes will run slow or crash. Of course it’s usually when I’m using a pin
  7. [R23] Cow Evolution 5/5 · US My game keeps buging: I jbjboohejhsljchsljcbSclxb jlXbhoojxhxk
  8. [R31] Cow Evolution 1/5 · US Bad: I can’t get in
  9. [R1] Cow Evolution 1/5 · US Too many ads: Self explanatory. At least you still get a reward after an ad plays, but they still happen far too frequently (every 5 actions or so)
  10. [R4] Cow Evolution 1/5 · US Way way way To many ads: It seems like there’s an ad every ten seconds🤦‍♂️
  11. [R7] Cow Evolution 2/5 · US Constant ads. Can’t close menus or switch maps without forced ads: Whenever you close a menu or try interacting with things it forces you to watch an ad. I find myself just closing the app every time it happens.
  12. [R16] Cow Evolution 1/5 · US Too many adds: Ad’s appear way too often makes the game unplayable
  13. [R30] Cow Evolution 3/5 · US Not Like It Used To Be: I used to love these games. They were fun way back when-many years ago. But now it’s ran by ads every few minutes and it’s completely ruined the game. It’s unfortunate but I won’t be playing it anymore. I played these games when I was having anxiety trouble around social events and it was helpful. But now that it’s ran by ads the ads give me more anxiety than the game is wo
  14. [R36] Cow Evolution 3/5 · GB Waaaay too many ads: Had the game years ago. The ads were not as bad then. But playing it again every other minute you get unstoppable 1-5 min ads which make the game a bore. enjoyed the actual game then and still do now,but seems to be a “replay game” where you play the same game over and over again just to unlock 1 new god each time.
  15. [R51] Cow Evolution 3/5 · GB What happened: I loved this game as a kid so I decided to play it again and what the actual hell I get a goddamn ad every time I do anything please just try and tone down the ads
  16. [R61] Evolution Galaxy 2/5 · US ADS: It's a fun game but getting an ad every minute really ruins it and makes me not want to play. Removing the ads for a game like THIS shouldn't be so pricy. Mid at best
  17. [R9] Cow Evolution 3/5 · US An ad about every 90 seconds: It’s just a ridiculous amount of ads
