Community Insight:
We absolutely love how realistic the graphics are!!! And did we even talk about the physics???!?!?!! Their amazing!!! It's like we're at a real arcade and it is so realistic. We also love how the whole screen isn't taken up!!! There is too much clutter and we can't see when the whole screen is taken up. This is the best game ever and if you get it now you will have eternal arcade luck because you were trained by the best game on the App Store!!! The teddy bear is our favorite because it is just so beautiful looking! It looks so fluffy it's like we can almost feel it in the screen!!! The game is amazing and that's why we actually give it 666/5 stars.
This game isn't fancy and all but it's still an awesome game and it's an old game witch means less people are gonna like it cause it's almost 2016 and we played this game since we were 5.
Our number one played app! Never crashes up! Always works.
For our birthday we are going to an arcade and its AWESOME practice.
ARCADE CLAW IS SO MUCH FUN!(: we REALLY HOPE EVERYBODY TRY THIS GAME OUT.! :P we PLAY THIS GAME CENTER.(: we AM LIKE IN IDKK.??,!! We LOVE ARCADE CLAW MACHINE.!!! <3 <3 Please Check Out This Game.!!(; People anybody.. It's Okay we Guess.
The graphics are like heaven on earth and the sounds are like the melodies of mirthful messiahs 10/10 would play again.
We hate this game because you need to tilt instead of moving the joystick.
It's so addicting, can't stop! It's also very easy, we wish they were all like that.
We really really love this game :) it the most cool app in the app store and every store and everybody love this game to alot <3 this game / arcade claw rock :) ;)))))))).
game we love it. This only has 3 s but it should have at least 4 s stop hating on the game it does not cost any this should be on the 25 free apps job app makerspeace suckers.
We think this app is amazing.once we start we can never stop get this app we tell you it's AWSOME.
This app better then every thing in app store !! :) this is our favorite app EVER !!!!!!!! We <3 it so much we can pay alot of money for this app and the 0.99 dollar DONT LISTEN TO THERE HATE THIS ARCADE CLAW we HATE YOU DON'T TAKL ABOUT THESE ARCADE CLAW we ALWAY PLAY THIS APP LOVE YA ARCADE CLAW.
Hi you sould mail people there stuffed animals.
We like this app because the prizes look funny and kinda cute. (: it makes us laugh every time we get the dog.
Needs update dosent work no more.
Okay all u haters THIS IS FOR U. We love this app it acually downloaded it is worth the time and it is highly addictive:) don't want to see another crapy coment this is by far our favorite game that's our oppinune we think u should down load it but if u don't have anything nice too say don't say anything at ALL.
When we got this app our friends and we were obsessed, then it started to crash. DONT GET IT AND THE MYSTERY BALLS R LAME ALL we GET IS A STUPID CHOCOLATE DONUT.
We like ur game but needs more levls on it we think do u.there are only two levels on it.
This game is so much fun it keeps our entertained till our battery dies.
It's so Much fun we recommend it to EVERYONE iT IS THE Bestest GAME EVER.
Best game ever animals SO cute best app ive got so far even though it is my10 app.
This is an awesom app.It's the best app we've ever played.
We don't no what u guys problem is! This game is super fun! It is easy we will say that but it is a great time passer! It isn't worth buying the whole version, we like the Lite version good enough! And sumthin else we luv is that it isn't urging u to get the full version like other Lite versions do.
It's fun and all and not to be mean but we only bought it cuz our friend wanted it and it was 3 am and we were bored. It IS fun don't get us wrong but it gets boring after a while. Sorry.
After reading SOooo many negative comments here, we bypassed this. Going to the one that was suggested by some here. We were frustrated w/ all the "points" and "puzzles" required!!! We couldn't stand that. All we wished for is something plain and simple. Nothing extra. Just want the same thing one would walk up to and play in a public setting. Now, we will pay for this adorable, well-designed Claw-Machine, if: a collection of less-babyish-looking toy prizes were offered. Pleeeeeeze! They are rather dumb-looking toys for the children who are most likely to play this…not babies! Please offer…little cars/trucks, little play-people figures, little farm animal figures, silly hats…you know, stuff kids would appreciate winning between the ages of 5-12ish! Put your thinking-caps on! We'll pay up to $5.00 if you make this "awesome" w/ the prizes. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE YOUR PRESENT DESIGN/CONCEPT. Also, don't pay any attention to all those ugly comments. Thank You.
It's fun but like they give you weird prizes in the ball machine. But that doesn't really matter if your only playin for the fun of it!! Besides it ain't like your gonna keep the prizes for life.
It is fun, but it glitches. We wouldn't get the full version.
It's a bit too easy to win prizes, but the graphics are great. We wish u could collect the prizes…so 4 stars 4 u.
Our 5 year old grandson loves it…. Empties the machine and starts over again – so keeps him occupied for a bit. We both think some of the animals look strange. We figure we save a ton of money by not having to feed the real claw machine at the store.
We think it's a neat game and we've been thinking buying full version, but personally we don't like this lite version game fixed to retina display! We like the original graphic way better! So please don't upgrade to retina display for full version unless there are way too many people asking for it :-/.
It's a great game but you should make an update to where the claw doesn't take such a long time to close and come back up.
We wish this game has levels n better graphics. Your prizes r completely UGLY. It should look cute ir something some1 would want to get. The bear is the one we'll only get if we were actually wasting our coins 4 it. Anyways it actually kinda fun. :).
It used to work but now when we start and it loads it will just go back to our home page and then it freezes. Other than that it is a great app.
We are addicted to crane machines irl, so that's why u got this app, but once it loads, it crashes.
The game is fun but it needs more levels and challenges on the free app. It's very fun you should get it.
Not our favorite claw game on here, but it's ok.
This app is ok but we wouldn't recommend it to anyone-don't waste your time.
It's a great app to intetain but it gets boring 3stars.
Its a good idea, but the graphics are awful. It would look better as nice 2d then junky 3d.
Great game, but the stuffed animals look so stupid. You expect us to call that a dog.
If you are looking for a good claw machine game this is not the game. DON'T BUY THIS GAME. We are lucky we didn't pay for this.
Boring…gave us about 4 seconds of entertainment.
Loads for awhile and crashes :( we used to love this game and now it doesn't load correctly.
Not he best game all u do is grab boring toys.
This is fun but try adding more like darth maul and other starwars figures. We dont like the dogs either there grey atleast make them colerful and look like pugs.
We can't get the flick to work ! Fix the game so we cam get off level 10.
Dear all u haters u r a loser with no life this game is not addicting so get through ur thick skull we think u r a piece of.
The graphics in this game are really cheep and they don't have any detail. This game was an eye catcher, but once we played this game we couldn't find a reason to keep it, so we deleted it.
Not great, not fun. Just a good time waster and pointless game. If you want a classic arcade game get skee-ball or air hockey. We wouldn't buy it.
Add us on gamecenter we're softballchick05.
