What reviewers said

Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.

Constant upsell pressure

Used to enjoy the game, but now it's just not as fun when you open it up and get spammed with 6 stupid popups to buy packages. Then you get forced to join things like the balloon challenge or they create new games to earn coins, but give…

Unbelievable amount of nag prompts — Constantly asks me to buy power ups every time I open the game it’s a race to tap the X as many times in a row as possible. Every time I play a level it wants me to buy coins in the piggy bank. STOP…

Too Many Pop-Ups — Too many pop-ups to buy coins. When getting the secret chest, too many clicks to do anything else.

Pay to progress

Worst Cheating game — Unless you plan to spend hundreds of $$ don’t bother. It cheats and takes any in game coins you earn so you have to spend cash to advance. Very much like its name sake

Fun, but way too expensive — This is a fun game, but as you get further in game, too many hard levels and you have to spend money to continue to play.

2★ · App Store · 2026-06-06

It’s a shame it’s a typical cash grab — Starts out fun and the idea of having a holder for a card adds a nice bit of strategy. However, like all these games, the beginning of the game is fun, but you hit a point where you have to spend…

Energy / timer gating

awesome gameplay no ads. but without spending some money you will have to wait every 3-4 hours to play. I put my review from 4 to 5 stars because they have since added a lot of other small ways to earn extra coins whilst playing and that…

Just ok — They only allow coins every 4 hours so you have to wait to play or purchase more. Each game is 4,000 coins and every 4 hours you get 12,000. 3 games every 4 hours?!

Lots of fun a handful of times a day — I really enjoy this game but as the levels increase, the difficulty gets harder, the “lives” get more expensive, the achievements are harder to meet, and it’s still almost entirely dependent on luck…

No ad complaints

Fun game to pass some time. As always King Games is good about making it possible to reach the next level without having to pay. Just patience and challenges. I remember playing the spongebob burger frying game and I LOVED it but they…

King games never really disappoint. The gameplay is always smooth and their art is on point. I also love that you never have to pay to move to the next level. You can and I do for example before I get on a long flight and I know I will…

 What this app sells

From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

This list is cut off. Apple shows at most 10 in-app purchases, and this app is at the limit — so it very likely sells more than we can see.
Google Play doesn’t publish per-purchase prices, so this list covers the other store only.

How a review signal works

Automated, review-derived, and always superseded by a human review.

A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.

A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.

It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.

 Not yet human-reviewed

A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
