User Reviews on My Life as a Refugee
Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of My Life as a Refugee below:
We wish there wasn’t a need for this app, but at least people are trying to change this situation.
Very fun, although obviously depressing as it’s meant to help open our eyes as to what refugees go through, and educational.
It’s not a game but somebody’s life stories.
Great educational experience, especially for kids.
We work for US for UNHCR, a charity supportive of the UN refugee agency. This is fantastic app to spread awareness to children and adults about what over 45 million + people go through every day. Did you know the average stay in a refugee camp is 17 years?? We love this app, but where are the options to do something about it by spreading awareness, learning more, sharing, or donating?
Very informative and realistic. Great way to spread awareness.
This makes you know how does a refugee live..
Let more iPhone users know the cold hard world of refugees.
Salute all people out there who give help and will be helping!
We can’t remember the last time we saw technology used so well to deliver such an important message. Only issue is to remember that for millions, this is far from a game. Thanks, UNHCR!
How strange of these ORIGINAL IS COMINGGGG.
Everyone should play this game at least once. While far too random and simplistic to hold attention for an extended time, the game succeeds in raising necessary awareness and empathy.
Great app that helps raise awareness.
Make more apps like this! This is just what we have been looking for! We can see it now: kidnapped, slavery, child labor. This has true potential!
Thank you so much to the creator of this app,that we can experience in such a minute way what being a refugee involves… It’s so heart breaking to realize how great of a life we have in developed countries and how much we take for granted. We hope in the future we can be as honored as you to work with the United Nations aid organization or equivalent so that we can help in this amazing outreach to innocent people in such unfortunate circumstances. Thanks so much again for your amazing support and benefits to people like us to experience this app :)
Short and fun. Also educational.
Very informative and heart arching. Love the facts.
Really provides some perspective- an interesting and interactive experience for those who are familiar with world conflicts and the plight of the refugee / eye opening and insightful for those who are unfamiliar.
Great game that really makes you think!
The game is very lifelike because these decisions r sometimes being made great game.
This app is the most inspiring thing we’ve ever seen.
Combining education about real-life situations and keeping us on the edge of our seat to find out what happens next; a great app.
We give this five stars because we think it gives people a chance to feel what it’s like to be a refuge.
This story book or whatever this is is soooo cool Love it!
This is a Great App. It brings the refugee experience to life. It is truly an eye opener!!!
These stories had inspired us. We never knew that people, even kids can go through those hard times. We hope these stories make other people inspired, too.
Impressive app. It’s really thoughtful.
This app is fun and tells people about all thats going on and how bad it is.
The first three times we played we were imprisoned twice and killed once. Really gives you food for thought.
It’s really well-prepared and focusing on refuge crisis on planet.
This game has really opened our eyes to the wider world. There could be a bit more choice involved, but overall, this game sends a very good message that more people need to hear.
We really like this game! It gives you a feel of how it is to be a refugee, sad but eye opening. We’re giving this 4 stars because there’s only 3 characters to choose from. Love this game though.
What a great way to use technology to spread awareness about what refugees go through! Maybe a little too basic, but a great start.
As someone else said, love the idea, but has a few issues and some expansion would be nice.
Learned a lot. Interesting scenarios.
We think this is a very good game because it teaches you: "That our life is soooo hard." Well guess what? It’s not that hard compared to refugee’s life. ;) <3 :) oh plus more characters please!
Informative while being engaging. Recommend to friends to help spread awareness.
Through interactive storytelling.
We think it needs a child. Like a 12 year old who’s parents have been killed or something. We’re a kid and this has really opened our eyes. We want to know how kids feel about them being a refugee. We really like it a lot.
We are giving this app four stars because, while it is an overall great app, there are some improvements to be made. Things we have noticed need worked on or suggestions we have for you: the loading time for the information on the Internet is so long that we have not been able to use any online features story progression needs to be improved; for example, we chose to escape by plane on Amika’s story, but a few slides later we were on a boat–if it is not an option at this time to add the plane part in, either remove the option to escape by plane or give the player a reason as to why Amika can no longer go by plane (this is not the only instance we noticed our choices being ignored) perhaps add in more chances to make decisions–I found myself getting bored after going through several slides in a row where we couldn’t make any choices over time, add in a few more characters perhaps include the character’s home location we personally found the page displayed after finishing the game to be overwhelming; an updated, more organized design would be appreciated fix minor grammatical errors and technical issues As we stated at the beginning of our review, this app is great as it is. We especially love the unique artwork. However, for the app to reach a larger audience, some improvements need to be made. Please keep working on our Life as a Refugee, as it’s unique and meaningful. We will, for the time being, be keeping this app.
This game has MAJER ISSUES 1. Most of the time our choices are egnored 2. There are not enough characters to chose from 3. WHAT IN THE UNIVERSE IS THIS GAMES PURPOSE!!!?
We wish we do a little bit more and there could be some changes.
Many improvements could be made, as mentioned in other reviews. We hope this genre takes off and we see more empathy-based games.
