  1. [R3] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US It’s okay…: The gameplay is fun, but only TWO options is so LAME! It’s just a mobile children’s game, there is no need to have everything cost money. Please add a few more free options because the game gets real boring real quick!
  2. [R6] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US Read before downloading 👍✅: I just wish that all of the food was free but it’s pretty fun otherwise and it has no ads at all. Sometimes it’s boring though because you just do the same thing every time but different ingredients, it’s a great game for little kids
  3. [R14] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 4/5 · US A really good game! Just one thing: This is a great game you can make food, customize it, and even the lunch box! The one thing is there’s not a lot of options of food to make. I would love it if we could get new free food as a gift in the presents, that would make the game 5 stars. But overall this is a great game!💗
  4. [R63] Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop 3/5 · US I don’t know about it much: It keeps randomly clicking dessert items on my game so 3 star but the game itself isn’t that bad it’s just glitchy.
  5. [R12] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US Cute but Slow: I wish this was made more complex ,it’s more of a mixed age group which can be a good thing I suppose you can get to play both with your kids and for just the kids to play but it’s missing the adult component to make it really enjoyable for the higher age group
  6. [R58] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 5/5 · US I love it sm: This game is the best it even has no ads!
  7. [R61] Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop 1/5 · US #stupid app: Dear budge studios i hate this app so much because you have to pay this app and all of this baking stuff is bad and it has lots of glitches and there to many ads and it will not let me do anything and does nothing and the others are awful too and it forced me to pay for it like 6 or 7 years.
  8. [R27] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · GB Hello kitty is laughing too much: So hello Kitty is laughing whenever I make something and I’m so happy that there’s no ads and like when I do something in the process of making the food when I’m done with it she laughs and I really love the drink that drink that has the strawberry the bowl the little strawberries at the bottom like it has a lot of strawberries and there’s and every food I make sh
  9. [R67] Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop 1/5 · US Bad: It’s not fair that you have to pay for the game and what if you lose a lot your money because of the game
