Community Insight:
Yea we know we just dont want to get into the same.
Honestly, we dont understand the frustration with a lot of the reviewers about the ads because you can play the full game, and only occasionally youll be forced to watch a video to receive a reward. Any additional things that you want outside of the typical gameplay, you have to watch an ad which is standard for most games. Ive only recently found the ads trying and thats because several times in the last two months that we have watched a rewards video, didnt leave until its confirmed that the reward is there, and then got back to the game and had to rewatch the same video because we didnt receive our reward. This has happened with getting extra meat,x2 profit, and the periodic and the daily reward boxes. Not only does this happen, but sometimes Ill go to watch a video when trying to collect extra meat, and then halfway through the video stops playing, and we have to leave the app and come back to rewatch the same video. At first, we thought it was our phone, but we got an upgrade last month and there are no indicators more indicators that its our phone or our service. Its one thing if we have to watch an ad to get additional leverage in the game, but its ridiculous to have to watch multiple ads just to get one gift.
Ive literally been stuck on day 24 for a year now please developers make it easier so we can keep progressing.
Good game but too much stuff to be done in the start every 2 seconds you are told to be doing something else then to start the next day.
We love this game. Fun to watch the dogs making coffees step by step we bought VIP Pass so we dont need to worry about the ads that everyone is complaining about. However, we REALLY wanna see what drinks we had been made. We wish theres a recipe book in the game where we can see the drinks we made.
OMG its sooo cute the ads dont bother us The beginning kinda sad thought.
We love the dogs and how cute they are however there was a little glitch when we try to click on them, but anyways everything else was great.
We downloaded this game because it looked cute, and enjoy these types of games, but its a little annoying how everything is locked behind an ad wall. This wouldnt be that big of an issue if we could remove them for a few bucks like any other game, but this only gives you the $30 option with additional things in the bundle. We dont care for the gems, and bones, we just want an option to remove the ads that wont cost us $30. Kind of ridiculous that that is the only ad removal option.
We dont know if its supposed to reser your progress when its a new day, but when it hit Day 3 we had to restart everything. Also, there was a dog balloon that kept blocking the way of our dog enployees so it was hard to click on them and it made us miss cups. Fun and cute game, but we recommend animal restaurant more because it has no ads and is more fun.
Like everyone else who didnt give it a five star review, the ads are a bit much. You cannot predict when youll get an ad, nor do you have a choice to view it or not. Some of the icons you have to click will tell you there will be an ad while others do not. However, most of the time the icons that do not say they will have an ad, do have one. We played the game for maybe fifteen minutes and undownloaded it because the ads were just too much; it was too hard to play since they got in the way. It was a cute game, but not worth our time being swamped with ads that you cannot even x out of even after the timer has run down.
We looove tycoon games we have so many. This game is cute and we adore the concept but the ads are waaaaay too much to had to uninstall since we cant even enjoy the game with the amount of ads you need to watch in order to move forward. Theres not even a remove ads option theres only a bundle to remove ads plus some diamonds for 30$ which is extremely unreasonable. We hope they change all this and Ill download again.
The game is great but we HATE when the flying balloon gets in the way!!! It literally takes up half the screen and we cant get rid of it without waiting forever to let it pass. Its so annoying. Also, we cant even collect the prizes without having to watch an ad. Its so annoying how many ads there are in this game that you cant simply bypass. If there werent this many ads, then we would genuinely enjoy it but its so hard to have a good time on this game now. Its so annoying. Fix it.
After playing through the first ten levels of the game, we can honestly say that this game is an ad riddled mess. Unless the buy the $30!!! VIP pass to turn off ads, you will get an ad every thirty seconds in game. Yes, you can ignore them 70% of the time, but to make ANY progress in game you either watch more ads than you play the game or pay for microtransactions. The game also cheats on progression by limiting the free currency production through the final cafe step of your kitchen. As an example, all the steps in production could build a 500 coin product, but you only get 200 coins as it passes through the cafe because that is the level your cafe is at, which the game states that each step INCREASES the coin you earn, not limits it. This game should be called Ad Cafe Grinder: the cute art style cannot save this game from being a massive cash grab, either by making you watch more ads than you play the game or by making you pay to play.
This is the best game ever! Thank you so much for making it.
Game is super cute it its way too Ad heavy. Very annoying that every little thing has an Ad.
So first its extremely hard and annoying/tedious to progress especially to get automated managers, and now there is a permanent ad at the bottom of our screen that doesnt have an X to get rid of and is blocking the section that switches you from the store/home/settings/etc. So we cant even play if we wanted to because our buttons are blocked by this ad that wont go away. We got this game because we love idle tycoon games and the art was cute but seriously such a poor game.
It was fun at first, we just started the app and got to a point where we started building supplies/gold. Then it was advertising an event they were having and its kinda of your only option to click yes. We tried going back, but when we do it took all our supplies and all our gold. We tried closing the event, the app, and redownloading it, but it wont let us collect back what Ive accumulated or anything new.
We have the VIP pass and the pace of the game slows down once you reach around day 20, some of the goals get UNREASONABLE to reach in a reasonable time frame, like it could take over a week to reach one of the goals or longer. Please fix this, it makes the game less enjoyable.
We love the game, but we wish VIP included Doggy Pass! We dont really understand why it doesnt and why you have to buy a new Doggy Pass EVERY new event.
We played for 20 minutes and lost count with how many ads popped up. The game is adorable but we would rather pay once to play than to deal with this many ads. We deleted it.
Its a cute game but its hard to progress and now it wont open.
Only crashes what a great start to a new game.
Cant even open the App to play, is crashes every time immediately :( we checked to make sure we wasnt missing any updates but Im not.
This game is great for us at least, we dont mind the ads let alone the slow progression or fast progression. We love the dogs and the art style, one tiny problem we have, well two actually are the ads and the crashing. The ads can get annoying but we dont mind it too much, and the crashing is quite frustrating. Other than that great game.
Recently with the new update the game wont open and crashes every time we try to open it again. We tried uninstalling and reinstalling and we lost all our progress. Closed the app and it started crashing again.
This game is really fun and the art is really cute. Our one issue is that each gift box only has one manager card and its really difficult to get enough to automate each place. Its annoying because then you have to hit each one to make it go.
Its an awesome adorable game a bit challenging but in a good way. We have just one complaint. The adds! When we installed the game we were aware of the ads, practically every review mentioned the adds. We bought its just a few adds we can deal with. But every time we claim a gift add! We went off WiFi the electronic that we are using is very old so we still got adds, but the when it finally worked and we stoped getting adds we got a quest/challenge to watch THREE MORE ADDS! SO ANNOYING!! We will still play the game even though you get like an add per minute and its annoying but its the only good dog game we found that isnt just dress up or dogs fighting- we dont get people who play games where dogs are fighting they make it look not as sad as it is, there are so many good cat games but no dog games. Anyhow that was off topic, this is a good game (if you can deal with the adds). We would give it a 3 1/2 stars but we dont know how- 1 1/2 off cos of ADDS.
Game was fun while it was working, we got to day 3 or 4 and after that our game wont open anymore. Ive deleted and reinstalled the game 3-4 times now and we're just about done playing this. Im on the iPhone 11 if that helps.
Why our app is not working? Every time we click the app, it will turn gray now. Anything to improve? We even delete and redownload it. It happens after day5.
We used to love it and would give it five stars except now it wont even open for us, just black screen then crash.. Also we feel like you have to grind so hard to get anything in the game, almost impossible to progress unless you pay :/.
We really liked this game but the ads got too much and the game crashed and we were never able to open the app again because it wont even start up for us.
We downloaded this game because we thought the art style was cute then we realized this was a game that was made for ads. As you progress you see more ads than actually game and its so annoying. The currency does nothing and this game is utterly pointless.
Art style is cute! Game is fun! But we think you should calm down with the ads! The people giving 1 star sober some ads are bad reviews they should review the whole game not just bc of one issue.. We hope you can lower the ad rate ! Thank you lots of love.
The amount of currency does not amount to basically anything to upgrade and continue the game so you are stuck unless you watch 100s of ads every minute or buying with real money.
We really enjoyed this game at first, and it was a nice idle clicking game. But, the further you get into the game, the more ads youre required to watch to actually progress. Even with the ads, progression is painfully slow by day 9 or so. To not take a week on a single level it really is required to make in app purchases. Overall, the game was super fun until we realized we would have to pay to progress at a reasonable pace.
Im honestly ok with Ads as long as there are some sort of reward in the game. But this game heavily relies on gift boxes in which are very hard to come by unless you spend gems (IRL money) or wait out 4 hours for the free small box. For an active game, this isnt rewarding. For an idle game, its also not rewarding. Removed the app.
This game is fun but there are way too many ads, even when you choose no to not watch one. There needs to be a single add on pack to buy to remove ads instead of paying $30 to get rid of them.
- Way too many ads, and when u choose to not watch for a reward it still makes u watch one after u click no – Every level you restart the entirety of your progress just with a different food item, this gets tiring and frustrating fast -The ingame purchase prices are just ridiculous for a tap game – The screen is filled with banners flying across it, pop ups, level up things, its just wayy too busy and its not even like the advertisements THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY: – Its just one conveyer belt where u click the dogs to make each step of the food, and have to restart all your upgrades progress literally EVERY LEVEL.
Cute amazing game. First the ads werent intrusive but they just got ridiculous. Even when prompted to choose between ad upgrade reward or no ad, it would still show you an ad, shorter but still an ad. If we wanted to watch an ad, we would have picked the reward one. Randomly gives you an ad when you complete a mission, and then when we considered the option of removing the ads, it was 30$. Not paying that much for an idle game that is just pure greedy. Pure pure greed. And we never write reviews but here we are. Thats how annoying these ads were.
