Diner DASH Adventures for Negative User Reviews
✓ Missing gemsI’m not getting gems even when I watch the video for free gems. Also the whole game is targeted to you paying for more coins or games. Pity because the game is good but the process is aweful..Version: 0.9.8
✓ Ok, but could be improved.The game starts out fun, but you can only play for a limited time before it forces you to either buy time with money or buy gems to upgrade your diner and food or you absolutely will not be able to beat the level. You reach this point very quickly and it’s frustrating. I’ve played a lot of diner dash games and this one has the most “pay to play” feel. You hit a point where you have to just grind away at the daily events to get enough gems to maybe possibly finally beat a level, only to hit the exact same wall with the next level. If I’m having fun with a game, I often will shell out a couple bucks for extra gems, etc, but not when the game is so obviously designed to force you to spend money to keep playing. It also automatically uses your boosts that you’ve earned so that when you really need them, you’re out and have to pay to buy more. I’m honestly pretty disappointed with the way it’s structured. It could be a really really fun game. It’s a shame they’ve decided to structure it like this. I’d rather pay a couple bucks for the game at the start than have all the micro transactions..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Addictive gameProbably the most addictive game I’ve ever played. The features are incredible and I love how there are so many different challenging levels that you have to pass in order to complete each chapter. The only downfall is how expensive the food prices are and if you run out of time you have an option to buy more time and money or lose your progress on that level. Over all it’s a really great game to play in your free time and if you like addictive games with story lines you’ll love this one!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Game not working right,Game want load & it will take your lives,Stealing GemsYou guys be stealing gems that we get when we do offers and than we write about it you still don’t give us our gems and than you start ignoring people when they contact you guys and write about how we can’t open up the game and we can’t play any games, I have wrote about lives I paid fir with my real money and I lost them either by your game stopping and restarting on its on. Some items in the game don’t work they be locked, It’s just not right to take hard earn money from us why we going through a pandemic. Than I wrote you guys a week and 1 day ago and still having heard anything back from you guys. It’s cool you got free money off me and said forget me, because you all not worried about us paying our money for Gems that get took from us are bags that is lives that we pay for that get took from us. I just don’t understand why nobody having said I’M SORRY and tried to Fixs my issue I been playing your game since 2018 and this how I get treated. Guys if you looking for a game like this and people that care about your feelings and what’s going on within they game “PLAY COOKING DIARY” You will think me later. I really can’t believe you all done me like this. I guess I got to try to see if my bank would give me my money back now that I spent with you all and let my bank come after you all for they money..Version: 1.19.6
✓ Used to be but greed ruinedI used to play this game a lot. But now it has so many ads, it is unplayable. RIP.Version: 1.42.2
✓ Can’t get past level 2 (unless I want to spend money)I was eager to try it, but it asks for a lot, as you can’t progress on to other levels without spending money on either boosts or upgrades. Which is pretty bad considering it’s quite repetitive. I like the concept, but these apps are scamming people out of money, and it’s outrageous. It wants £1.99 for me to play for an extra 30 seconds of a level and try and get a star. To continue a level on homescapes it asks for money that you can gain easily through out the game. You can’t just play the game either without it requiring upgrades to equipment or dishes constantly. In similar games I like to play for a while and then build up my stars to fix stuff in the world but you can’t really do that here because you need to buy diamonds to get upgrades and complete the levels. Has potential, but the money grabber attitude makes it a bad game..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Longtime fan… but not with this oneLet me start by saying I’ve always been a fan of diner dash, cooking dash, miss management and the other dash games. I gave it a shot, really. You need to get enough stars to move on? That’s fine. You need tons of gems to upgrade to get stars to progress the story? Still fine. What really got me is chapter 4 when you start helping out the hotel owner. This decrepit hotel needed help, and one of the many tasks is to fix the lawn mower, which requires a star. After the lawn mower is fixed, Flo needs to mow the lawn, which requires another star. First of all. Why is Flo the one mowing the lawn? And this hotel owner has the audacity to joke that she missed a spot? Excuse me? The beginning tasks felt like nice favors for neighbors, but this particular chapter just feels like she’s getting hustled. And so are we. Because the game is set up where it’s extremely difficult to earn gems. You can probably get an average of 5 gems per day, and most upgrades cost anywhere from 2-15 gems. Most of the tougher levels definitely need several upgrades to complete. So if you’re okay going at a snail’s pace (or paying for gems), while feeling unappreciated by the game characters… well then I suppose this game is for you..Version: 1.25.5
✓ Great game disappointing updatesI love this game and have managed to get through the game without purchasing any additional items. You need lots of patience but it can be done by watching ads etc. The last update put automatic ads in which is very annoying and the last update has glitches which means sometimes if you complete a level it doesn’t register the win but does use up your lives. Hence the 3 stars. Please sort this out it is ruining the game!.Version: 1.42.2
✓ I love the game...but😕I have just downloaded and I too are having a msg that keeps popping up saying internet connection is lost but all my other devices work perfectly fine....please fix as I don’t want to delete I love this game!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Forced to Buy Gems or FailIt’s a real shame that they’ve set the game up so you have to get a set amount of coins in a single sitting rather than accumulating coins to earn the star/s you need. This almost forces you to buy gems to upgrade your equipment given it’s hard to earn them. In addition, you need 10 groceries to play/replay a level each time meaning you run out of groceries pretty quickly with nothing to show for your efforts. Downloaded and deleted within 24 hours because of this. Would download again if they reconsidered this aspect of the game..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Good, but could use improvement.I find overall that this game is good, has an interesting story and challenges the player to think quickly. I do however think that there are two aspects in the game that could definitely use some improvement: I believe that the gem system is entirely unfair, and the heavy reliance on either waiting for days to upgrade one specific item, or otherwise having to pay real money to buy gems to upgrade items is not only frustrating for all players, but it is also not child-friendly. Developers may find that the players will lose interest quite quickly, especially when such a simple and otherwise fun game does not give the player the satisfaction of being able to upgrade at the same pace of the game. Another issue that could be rectified in this game is the timer system within levels. I believe that the timer should not start until the first customer physically arrives on the screen. Often I find that four or five seconds have gone by before the first customer arrives and you’re able to interact with the game..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Not supported on this deviceDisappointing. Downloaded this game and the recent update. On the info in the store it says that it’s compatible with my device which is an iPad running IOS version 12. When I try to load the game it gets to 31% then tells me that it’s not supported on this device..Version: 0.10.5
✓ Loved the original, hate this one.I absolutely loved the original and was obsessed with the different “dash” games. I was so excited to see it being revamped. I was so disappointed to see that this follows the typical money grabbing format of making it hard to earn one type of essential (in this case the gems) so you can upgrade items. You need to upgrade items to get through the levels. This wouldn’t bother me so much if we still had access to the original games but I can’t seem to find them. The gems are too hard to get. I spent 30mins on a survey to then not be rewarded at all. I don’t know if it’s cos they changed owners or what but this had such good potential but ended up being exactly the same as all the other games on the market..Version: 1.19.6
✓ Not enjoyableI am a massive fan of the Dinner Dash games but this one is just awful. I don’t like how they’ve made it simpler but having less interactions (like taking the customers order to the kitchen, putting their dishes into the bin etc...) none of those sort of interactions are possible. This makes the game a bit boring as there is no ‘dashing’ around the restaurant anymore. Also the amount of money you have to spend is ridiculous to get anywhere in the game. If you want to pass a level to earn a star you have to get upgrades which requires gems. It’s virtually impossible to do this without spending your own money to purchase the gems. There are better ‘free apps’ out there that do not require as many in app purchases as this one. Don’t bother downloading..Version: 1.0.2
✓ TRUE GAMER HEREListen, I’m never the type to leave a bad review or even review a game at all. So if I go out of my way to review a game it’s because it’s really good or really bad. In this case it’s really bad. The whole dynamic of the game is messed up. Firstly, I’m going to start with the star system. So you play rounds to earn stars to complete upgrades in the town / restaurant. Cool. Also comes with an upgrade shop where you can spend your coins on upgrades to make more money. Cool. Here’s what’s not cool. After you upgrade all your kitchen / restaurant properties the first time it then requires diamonds on the second level upgrade or higher. Diamonds ARE REALLY HARD TO EARN. You’ll get like 5 a day tops. Each upgrade is like coins and 3-5 diamonds getting higher and higher as you upgrade. But you’ll KEEP playing cause what else are you supposed to do. But then you get to higher levels that you won’t be able to earn all your stars because your upgrades aren’t good enough to keep up with the standards of the customers AND the level requirements that get your stars. So they make it REALLY hard to advance unless your sitting there for hours OR you pay. Ofc. These games always want money money money... it’s pathetic. Just make the game playable at least. A waste of time in my opinion. ON TOP OF THIS... the other diner dash games that were actually FUN are now removed from the App Store. Classic empire move. Play cooking dash at least.. but this game... don’t bother.Version: 1.17.4
✓ Very unfairThe game was really fun at first. But after a few level your upgrades cost most of your gold and basically all of your gems. You have to upgrade everything. Stuff in the restaurant, relationships with customers and so on. If you don’t upgrade the equipment, things don’t move fast enough for you to complete the level. If you don’t upgrade your relationships with customers, you don’t earn enough hearts to complete the level. If you don’t have enough time to earn the right amount of hearts you can’t move on. And upgrading just the equipment or just the relationships isn’t enough. You need to upgrade both to complete the levels. When you only receive one or two gems once in a while and have to upgrade two or three things that take 2 or 3 gems each it’s impossible. Unless you buy gems. You can buy 20 gems for $2 and after about 3 or 4 upgrades your gems are gone. Then one or two levels later it’s time to upgrade again or you won’t win. You can also complete tasks on bogus websites designed to spam you but they don’t work. I did one and never received my gems. I won’t be playing anymore unless changes are made that it’s either easier to get gems, you get more gems for your buck or less upgrades. This game was not designed to just make a small profit. It was designed for greed and nothing else..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Hard to progressDifficult to progress without spending real money. Also only allows you to watch one ad video a day to get the freebies. So many of the daily freebies you can’t get. Then once you spend all your resources and complete the chapter the game dynamics change and you then have to upgrade a whole new bunch of different foods and equipment, deeming all the other hard work upgrades useless. Plus you and only play 5 rounds each time. Then wait for the bar to fill again. Another game that takes more than it gives. 1 star score from me. I’m already at a point where I can’t get further without buying gems. Not going to play anymore. Already spent $17 on gems that didn’t even go far..Version: 0.6.2
✓ Just about money.It can be fun but is very money oriented. You can’t get any where without making in game purchases. Rigged to make you lose so you spend more money. You can’t play without power ups. You will never get any where..Version: 1.47.1
✓ This game has really gone downhill.The game is constantly shutting down so I’m having to restart more than I can actually play. The game itself has gotten more repetitive and boring not to mention much more difficult to move through levels. I’m giving it one more chance then I’m deleting it..Version: 1.45.2
✓ Annoying adsThis was the best game ever up to your last game update. You ruined it with ads in betwen the levels and having to watch an ad in order to get a gift from the mailbox that was before free. My rating of this game was 5, i had no complaints at all, and you just ruined everything with the latest update. Now it’s the same as all the other games with annoying ads. Instead of making this game better you made it worse.Version: 1.41.3
✓ FreezesGames fun but it freezes all the time!! Super annoying.Version: 1.49.1
✓ Cheated out of diamondsSo it’s obvious that this game (which I love) uses too many diamonds. What uses the most is to continue a level. 9 diamonds for just a few more seconds. It’s ridiculous. That’s why I would never use my hard earned diamonds to do that. I was playing a game and my time ran out like it has many times before and the screen popped up to use more diamonds or end the game. (Which the use 9 diamonds is a large button while the end game now is a smaller one. Like obviously they want you too accidentally hit the larger button.) Well I accidentally hit the use more diamonds which didn’t worry me at first because I thought well it’ll verify that I want to do that but then my game immediately started were I left off. I submitted an email explaining what happened and the customer service person albeit in a nice way called me a liar. They said it always ask. Well, it didn’t. They also told me if that didn’t take care of the problem, submit a new ticket. So I tried that, not to be rude but to explain more, and there’s no way to submit another one. I love this game and this is my only problem I’ve ever had but I can’t afford to let those diamonds go for a level I’m going to lose no matter what..Version: 1.3.8
✓ It’s kinda funIt’s a fun game, however, the daily goals are ridiculous and impossible to finish. I don’t have 50 gems every day to spend on upgrades, people, or anything and everything else that cost gems. You know, some games make you use just coins for upgrades.. Please fix the daily goals, they are impossible to complete without spending real money everyday, too much real money for very little gems. I’m not paying $5 for 1 upgrade worth of gems. I might spend $2 for 50 gems, but not $5 for 20 gems. Might as well say “for every dollar you spend, you relieve 1 gem!” Everything in this game requires gems. This game isn’t hard at all, it’s just gem hungry and stops you from having fun because there is almost no way to earn gems, except the daily goals, which I nor anybody with no money can complete. This is the first game I’ve played that makes you spend your gems on what they want, not what you think will make the game fun. Everybody wants money, stop being selfish, make this game playable and fun, not restricted and demanding. This world is hard enough as it is, games help to distract us and make us feel accomplished, stop taking away the heart of gaming and replacing it with gems and greed, and make a great game actually worth time and money..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Cool concept poorly executed.I loved all the old diner dash games, and this is more of a tribute to that. It takes lots of ideas from better games and shoved them all together into a game that has short levels, is mostly about the extra faffing around, and has not real meat to the challenges. The times levels are so short they’re clearly just designed to get you to spend boosts and tokens to play them. It was a good idea, but so obviously exploitative and eager to get you to pay real money that I only played a to the second chapter before I got sick of all the stuff. We play diner dash because of the levels, not because we want to spend a bunch of time picking flowers and stuff. And the levels are so laughably short and easy this game was obviously made for kids with itchy micropayment fingers rather than for anyone else. Not worth the time. Play the old diner dash to relive the glory days because this will not scratch that itch. I would rather have payed 5$ to just hug the game and get to play the whole thing but this pretending this game is free to play is a joke. Either make a game or a micropayment factory. I don’t mind paying for a game but be upfront about it don’t act like it’s free and then make it impossible to continue without purchasing stuff. Not worth the time or the money..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Can’t advance without buying upgradesI loved the old diner dash, even had the computer game years ago. This however is to trick you into thinking it’s Diner Dash to only give you tiny little levels where to get to more levels you have to play the same levels over and over after you beat them to get more stars and can only beat them if you upgrade items. It’s not based off skill at all, which is frustrating. The game itself would be less frustrating if you didn’t have to play the same 1 minute levels over and over to advance and had the option to skip the stupid story line all together. I don’t understand why game developers would incorporate these other game factors in a time management game?! Makes no sense? People playing this game aren’t captivated by what’s happening with the stars and improving the town, they’re playing the game for the actual diner dash game. From the sounds of all these reviews it’d be more beneficial to come out with a paid classic version of the game, as myself, and others it appears, would shell out the money for that. I will however not shell out money to play the same 1 minute levels over and over and then when you get to a new chapter it goes back to super easy even if it’s the 3rd chapter..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Slow to add more adventuresVery disappointed!!! I’ve been playing this game for a few years every day, or night, and loved it. I’ve actually pay for the gems with my actual money in order to buy boosters, mainly for the food truck tournaments, so I have a better chance of placing 1st-3rd place. I also buy packages so I can get more coins to decorate or advance further in my Town. With the Food Truck Tournaments my screen tend to freeze up at least a couple times during the 1 and a half days the tournament lasts. When it freezes up I end up losing out on the Chef Hat, Quick Customer Booster and the order up boosters which I PAID FOR with my own money. Customer service was good about reimbursements a few times, now the last message they sent me after I requested reimbursement for the lost boosters, they refused to reimburse me. They actually basically accused me of lying because they said they seen my history or requests…! NOT MY FAULT their game freezes up, and how cheap of them not to reimburse someone who spends a lot of money on their game!! I am not going continue to contribute and Support their game, especially after making accusations that I’m not being truthful. Really?!? All over a few boosters that costs them NOTHING..Version: 1.27.4
✓ Pay to DO ANYTHINGThis game seemed like it could be so much fun but it is COMPLETE BULL$H!T! You need to spend money on gems (which I haven’t) to upgrade EVERYTHING.. as a result of me not spending any money I can’t get past chapter three. IM SO DISAPPOINTED! I’m was getting into the game during chapter one, then chapter two was a bit of a struggle then chapter three is impossible to do. You need gems to upgrade meals to make money to pass level, then you need gems to reduce cooking times to get enough meals out on time, then you need gems to upgrade characters to give you more money and hearts.. this game is just build for you to spend money on to buy gems. The people that designed this game need to have a serious rethinking and try to pass the game themselves without spending any money. I dare them to even try. The game is so well designed and everything seems perfect to me I couldn’t fault the design but it is all just a money grab. Read all your reviews creators. EVERYONE IS SAYING THE SAME THING, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY WITHOUT SPENDING CASH! Doesn’t that mean anything to you when everyone is complaining about the same thing..Version: 0.10.5
✓ LossesFirst off I want to mention that I actually do like this game. I’ve spent money and have enjoyed the rewards off of it. I would just like to point out that I have lost a few too many powers and gems to this game letting me “collect” it but not appear on the list for me to use it in a game. I don’t know if there’s a way to restore it but every time this happens it makes me spend less and now makes me feel to delete the game. Please fix this as I have been a diner dash fan from when I was younger and like all versions of it..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Good game but need to sort a few things outLove the game, hate that if u accidentally touch the screen even slightly to the side of the button to play the game it will start running an ad. Cheeky developers. Also 20 gems to add extra time is highway robbery. Also hate the way that you have to do some of the dumb things like look at other areas - you have no option to ignore and continue play..Version: 1.55.0
✓ Prepare to hand over your cash.Rewards only give you one diamond and with every, single, upgrade needing at the very least 2+ diamonds, micro transactions are almost a necessity just to play. You can only watch one ad a day, providing it actually plays an ad. It’s been three days so far and despite not actually watching an ad I’m still receiving a pop up that claims I’ve received all my rewards for that day. I’ve attempted the ‘offers’ mainly just to see if they work but I haven’t received any gems for the questionnaires I completed. I’m sure they’d work if I bought something third party but the whole point of the experiment was to see how effective the offers are. The smallest diamond pack is 20 for 2.99. With one upgrade costing 6+ gems, you’ll get maybe three to four upgrades. Hardly worth your hard earned cash. I really hope they fix the pay to play balance, the game is good, it’s nicely designed, looks nice, nothing has been buggy, for me at least. But the diamond system makes you feel used. It’s a pity..Version: 0.9.8
✓ Super buggy since last update!Great game, but oh my days - SO buggy since the last update! Constantly restarts, blaming my connection (which is perfectly fine), won’t allow me to progress in events while still costing me energy/groceries, won’t give me rewards from event levels… This is now really affecting my enjoyment of this game! I’ve reached out to support multiple times, only to be told that they can’t see the same error from their end and basically there’s nothing they can do. I would expect better from such a high-profile game! Disappointing….Version: 1.42.2
✓ Connection IssuesLove this app play it basically everyday. But the last week I’ve had nothing but connection issues and it’s starting to get upsetting. THE AMOUNT OF GEMS GALORES GONE TO WASTE BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES!! Atleast a good hours worth..Version: 1.44.0
✓ Love the game but way to many addsI love this game I would actually pay to download it if there were not any adds. The adds started on this game as an option to get gems. Now I randomly get adds all the time even in game play. It’s becoming so annoying that I don’t want to play anymore..Version: 1.42.2
✓ Errors in the gameI’ve been playing this game for a while now and can honestly say have been enjoying it a lot. However, as of late whenever I finish a level, even if I successfully finish the game it still says I was unable to complete the level. It has multiple times now. I have even taken screenshots of it just in case the developers would like to see..Version: 1.24.11
✓ Crashes too oftenI’ve been playing this game for a couple of years and have always really enjoyed it. I don’t think you need to spend money in order to progress as I never have. However in the last few months the game has started crashing 3 out of 5 times. It isn’t due to WiFi or internet issues, I can be sat next to my WiFi hub with 100mb download speeds or on 4G and it still crashes. The game takes your food packs/energy and any boosts you used. I wish the developers would fix this because I’m not sure how much longer I can keep trying to play it..Version: 1.18.3
✓ Latest update ruins the gameThese guys are getting greedier by the minute and destroying the game play in the process. The game is fun but it’s littered with tricks to trap you in the game, share your data or enforce you to spend real $. The latest update throws up random ads as your about to start a level - fair enough - but it DOESN’T PAUSE THE GAMEPLAY. So you watch the ad and find the level sitting there with 30 seconds of the 90 seconds already gone… you may have used boosts or your last life, but GOOD LUCK to you to finish the level with 2/3rds of the time. Poorly designed..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Must use real money to advanceI don’t write reviews for anything. It’s rare. I used to play diner dash and games like wedding dash and all those old versions, which were always really good and kept me hooked on them. I downloaded this because I just had to try it. It was fun at first but now I have to spend real money just to advance? It’s really ridiculous. I have already spent money twice in hopes of being able to progress further and just get one more star.. I can’t find any way of earning gems to get further. The levels are impossible to pass without gems.. you have to have gems to upgrade anything to help you get stars.. don’t waste your money like I did.. it doesn’t last and you get maybe one star further and then you have to spend more money. If you can get free gems.. you can maybe earn one unless you want subscribe to some stupid ads to get more, so in turn, setting yourself up for spam. Makes me mad that they took such a good game and made it impossible to get far without spending money. Money hungry much? If that was going to be the case, you should have just had it a app you had to pay for to begin with. 😡.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Pay to play eventsI’ve played the Diner Dash franchise since the original so of course I had to get this one. I’ve played this for a couple of years or so now. The main game you can slowly work through for free - slowly mind you - which is ok and I was at first excited when events made their way into the game but it is impossible to make it through even halfway sometimes when you play for free. I’ve spent a shocking amount on this game because I make bad choices. No game is worth what they make you spend. I would buy a £20-£40 full game in a heartbeat up front and would even consider paying extra for expansions but to try to coerce you to pay just so you can complete a level? Nah... I hate when games force leaderboards on you as well because people can essentially pay to be better than anyone who puts in time and practice..Version: 1.13.2
✓ AnnoyedThis game used to be fun now it’s all ads. Spending way too much time on ads than game itself will be deleting it :(.Version: 1.41.3
✓ Poorly designed gameThis is a shame as it could be such a good game but the drive to have to purchase items to progress is to high. I am caught in a loop, I can’t move forward to the next level with upgrading my door and I can’t do that without having a key. My daily bonus I can’t achieve because I need to spend stars, if which I have 13. I have no issues with game play having the option to purchase items to play faster but I hate it when a game does not allow a player to take there time to play, that just seems unfair, they need to give more options to gain keys or gems. The ad offers do help but only if you want to open your device to potential issues or viruses and that’s an unfair option, which can open you up to a huge amount of spam emails. I understand they need to make money but little point if you are loosing your new players within a day. Potentially a good game but so unfair for any player who does not wish to spend loads of money just to move forward in the game, it’s not about skill or trying to progress, this is about having to pay to do anything and that’s not fair, the developer need to re think this aspect of the game..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Where are my stars.?I have loved and played all the diner dashes since the start. This is no different. However I have a few issues. Firstly, the game seems to have a bug in it when it comes to star collections. I have just played several levels in the last few days and whilst winning stars on these levels they are not being awarded when I leave the level. So I’m playing levels, earning money but my stars are vanishing so I can’t complete upgrades. My second issue is how expensive upgrades are with the amount of gems you need to generate, I also dislike having to build up supplies and using so many for just one go. It would be much better to have lives and be able to buy lives with coins like you can in other games. Otherwise long live diner dash..Version: 1.9.4
✓ Too many crashesI’ve always loved the diner dash games over many years and I wanted to love this too. Yes it’s frustrating as you need to upgrade to advance through the levels. That doesn’t especially bother me and I’m happy to pick up and play repeated levels until I save up enough coins and gems to upgrade. I enjoy the events and have even come first a couple of times!! However, where I am most frustrated is with the continual crashing of the game. I note one person saying they have complained to the developer and told it was to do with their WiFi connection. I can say that it is not as the game crashes multiple times and it usually occurs when I have just pressed to start a level and unfortunately then lose the 10 “food bags” needed to play and the boost that I have chosen. The boosts are saved up and I only use them when I’m sure it will help me gain a star to advance in the game. I so wish this could be sorted by the developers as it is incredibly frustrating..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Only Worth It You’re Willing to Pay MoneyI’ve given this game a year. I actually love the concept of the game, but unless you willing to shell out a bit of money, you’ll never win a competition, you won’t get hardly any of the special characters, and what finally did it for me is that every time you play a new House of Thorns or boat event they start you over with new items that start at zero so all the coins and gems you pay out leveling up aren’t useful at any future event. I have spent cash on this game; probably more than my son pays on one video game that he gets to keep everything as he progresses. I even broke down for the current event and spent the money for the “Special Menu” and started with 100 gems (saved them for two weeks) and I’m still not going to get close to the top spots in the events. The other major issue I have is that in the Food Truck events you earn all this “cash” that you can’t do anything with other than upgrade stuff in the trucks. After awhile you have to pay so many gems for the updates that you are stuck so you don’t get to keep your earned money because you are “maxed out” (can you imagine if they did that in real life). The game has just become stagnant because it’s just starting over again and again. It’s fun for about six months so if that’s what you’re looking for you might enjoy this game. If you’re looking for a long-term enjoyable game that you can build on, this is not it..Version: 1.29.4
✓ Nothing at all like a real diner dash gameI got this game to try as all my old diner dash and hotel dash time management games no longer work despite the large amounts of money paid for them. So I was excited to see a new diner dash game in the App Store. However it is absolutely nothing like the real diner dash games. It is not even a time management or strategy game at all. I don’t even know what type of game you would call this. Basically just a series of instructions flashes up on the screen and you tap to follow each instruction at a time. No thinking for yourself, no strategising, no time limits, just really boring actually..Version: 1.49.1
✓ Money grabI’ve been a fan of the Diner Dash series ever since the original game was released. However, this latest version has fallen into the app-trap of feeling like a huge money grab. Upgrades needed to complete levels cannot be earned without gems, which are painfully slow to collect without spending real money. Optional spending in games should be used for aesthetic choices, not as a way to force players to continue levels. The balance in this game is way-off. The game-mechanics are good and it’s fun to play the levels (when all the correct upgrades are in place), but the greed behind the game feels almost palpable..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Was enjoying however…Was really enjoying the game then got to Chapter 16 Level 3 on the cruise ship- no matter how many times I win the level ( serve more then 8 customers earn more then minimum stars), celebration at the end with confetti, the level won’t progress to Level 4!! The blue stars don’t get added to my total and it makes me play the same level again!! So frustrating!! I’ve logged in and out restarted multiple times but same error happens. Once bug is fixed will consider coming back and giving higher rating- other then this bug good game..Version: 1.24.11
✓ Good but needs a lot of improvementI’ve been playing one level for the last 2 days and I can not get past it because I need diamonds to upgrade things and I can only get maybe 2 diamonds a day so at the rate I’m going it’s gonna be a week before I can pass the level and by then I’m gonna get bored and delete the game. Have it so you can watch videos to get diamonds ALL the time not just one video in 24 hours and have more ways of actually getting diamonds. And no I’m not paying.Version: 0.9.8
✓ So many ads with December 2022 update.Newest update has so many ads. Terrible experience. Was a great game..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Wanted to play a game from my childhoodEXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I tried my best to play it and got as far as the 2nd chapter. (Lvl 24) SO MANY MICRO-TRANSACTIONS AND UNNECESSARY POPUPS. The timer is incredibly unrealistic to meet, and once you fail a level they bombard you with “want to purchase more diamonds to continue?”. This developer did a terrible and tasteless job. Nearly impossible to continue the game without buying anything. Not worth anybody’s time..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Disappointing...When I started playing this game...I was like..OK so this game seems cool and I wanna try it out...When I got the game it was awesome but on level 8 to get the stars I passed the level many times but it doesn’t give me a star...I need the star to build the new “Burger Stand”. I have passed this level exactly 5 time and I have even tried refreshing the app but nothing will work. I have even got both of the stars but it won’t give me the actual stars that I need to build the “Burger Stand” I have tried pressing it anyway but that doesn’t even work, I am gonna try for a bit longer and if it doesn’t work then unfortunately i’m gonna have to delete it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Not that good. Slow.This game looks good, but I found it is so slow to play. The timer to get you energy is ridiculously slow. I can play for 5 minutes then have to wait for the power to recharge 30 minutes. I can opt to do their additional offers, surveys, sign up to subscriptions to get extra power. But that’s not something I want to do. Nor do I want to spend $100 to get miracle cream to earn 200 gems. What ever happened to just being able to pay a little bit of $$ to get rid of ads. This is exactly the type of game I delete in less than 30 minutes of downloading..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Money making gameStarted off well. Draws you in. By level 2 and 3 you basically have to buy diamonds otherwise you won’t get past the levels as the chef won’t cook fast enough without diamonds to upgrade the machines. Also, if you the game will automatically use your boosters so if you don’t disable them, you’ll use them up. Then there are the glitches. Game will crash or restart and so you potentially waste a booster if this happens. I expect games to get to a level where you have the option to spend money, but it shouldn’t be mandatory. And so, I won’t be spending a penny and will be deleting the game..Version: 1.5.5
✓ More frustrating than funI love all the Diner Dash games, so I hate to give 2 star review but after reading some of the other reviews on here all I can say is SAME. I was so excited to play this game but after weeks of grinding to get diamonds I have reached my limit. I complete every daily challenge possible, log in throughout the day while I’m at work to get offers from the store and I still cannot catch up on upgrades. Today for instance I completed my daily bonus challenges and am awarded 15 minutes diamond rush. Awesome, this is where customers have a chance to drop diamonds when playing levels. Too bad for me because I have 0 groceries to play anymore levels now since I had already played my 50 groceries previously which took a whopping 5-7 minutes!!! In 20 minutes I’ll have enough groceries to play 1 level which takes 2 minutes to compete but guess what no diamond bonus because that perk will be over by then! So to summarize levels are entirely too short, diamonds are a pain to get, upgrades eventually get ridiculously expensive (10-12 diamonds to upgrade something then realize you won’t even serve that in the next chapter) please balance the game out and I will gladly spend $2.99 on 20 diamonds if I knew it would get me more than 1 or 2 upgrades.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Fun game, but slow progressionYou start out all guns blazing, everything goes great, then suddenly you hit a paywall and you’re lucky to pass a level every two days. It’s a great game and a lot of fun, but there’s such a huge number of upgrades required and simply not enough resources to get them. I’m happy to throw a few bucks at a game if I like it, but even that wouldn’t be enough to advance here. You’d have to be dropping some serious cash just to pass a few levels, then be stuck again! For example, $35 would get me the 250 gems, just enough to make the most basic upgrades I need right now and get a handful of boosts. I’d also need to drop $17 on coins because you need both gems and coins to upgrade. Then just a few levels later, I’d need even more upgrades. Playing without spending gives you maybe five gems a day if you’re lucky. The ‘free offers’ where you complete a tedious quiz or install a game in exchange for gems are a scam - it claims “your gems will be in your mailbox soon” but they never appear..Version: 0.10.5
✓ GameIt ok but takes too much to get blue stars and on everything along with coins to get have the coins barely get blue stars and is fun til run out of it when play five time and have to wait. Why would it not be use same til can’t be able pass or something game over too quick not worth Worst way to play game unlike others just to collect coins that’s it time time others stuff it depends to gain on the game even for the energy of the customer always need blue stars I wouldn’t give one star it won’t let be send.Version: 1.36.1
✓ Could be great, but greed takes overJust a couple of things that spoil the game. 1 is that each level automatically uses the boosts so unless you remember to switch them off, they can be wasted. The main downer to the game is the greed element. Each level costs supplies so when you run out of those, unless you buy more you cant play until it refills. And you need to upgrade your equipment in order to beat levels, but upgrades cost diamonds and diamonds cost real money. This is really disappointing as the game itself i was really enjoying playing..Version: 1.9.4
✓ Ruined by greedSo they have made this game so you can only upgrade with gems without upgrading you will be lucky to get through the first chapter. Yes the first chapter it not speed of tapping or skill it’s purely upgrade that make you progress! Yes you may win one or two gems here and there but no where near enough to advance no matter how skilled you are. It’s a far cry from the original dinner dash that I loved it was all about how well you planned tables. Very disappointed also the narrative is slllooooowwww! I would not download if you are looking for something to pass a bit of time if your happy to play with your credit card then crack on this game is for you ..Version: 1.1.1
✓ It’s funI like playing this game. I probably play more often than I should. They do double up on things that you need to spend diamonds on however and the diamonds are not that easy to accumulate especially when everything gets more expensive such as the characters. For each game the characters all need upgrading there is currently 4 different games then on top of that they all need continuous upgrading outside of the games to allow for upgrading inside the games you do get rewards for these upgrades but they don’t really equal to how much you have to give..Version: 1.3.8
✓ You have to spend to get anywhereI would have preferred to pay upfront than have to spend to get throughout the game to get coins and gems. You have to wait to get lives to play or you can spend money to get gems to get more lives! As you progress through the game upgrading costs more and more gems and coins, which means you have to spend more and more of your own money to progress further. When you watch an advert to earn a gem sometimes you don’t receive the gem and the advert ALWAYS doesn’t start playing when you’ve agreed to watch it and then will randomly start playing when you’ve begun to play a level meaning you lose and you’ve wasted a life. Overall the game is very repetitive, the storyline won’t be followed as there’s way too much dialogue...unless you have the time to sit there reading through it all. I like the idea of the game in the past but now the game hasn’t got a lot to it, isn’t as challenging and it wants way too much money for what it is..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Diner Dash AdventureFun at first but boring when you’ve completed all the levels. Graphics are subpar…can’t tell what the food is…it all looks like mush. Not much challenge unless you pay. The only consistency to this game is that it crashes regularly, with several daily messages of the server being down..Version: 1.49.1
✓ A Good StartThis was turning into what could potentially be my favorite game. I’ve already spent over and hour playing it and I just started! And that’s big because I’m not a big game person. But the moment you shortened my time to play? You basically lost me. I get that you have to rig the system to try to get people to buy from your shop like with more supplies, keys, or diamonds. But randomly putting a time limit? Here I am just serving the customers and having a grand old time, when my fun is cut short because “closing time”. First of all, in the real world, If I had already seated the customer and their food had already been ordered, they can stay past closing. They don’t get thrown out because it’s time to close. I’m sure a lot of workers wish that’s how it really works, but it doesn’t. And secondly, you rigged the system to where there is no possible way to finish that round without having to buy more time. There are ways to get around not buying the diamonds, but earning them. There are way to choose the fix you want without using keys. And there is even a time limit for the supplies so you don’t have to buy more. The “store hours”, if you will, is the final straw. So much potential. But you just lost a player. I know corporate doesn’t mind one player when they have 1,000’s-1,000,000’s of players. It’s just sad because I truly liked this game. And that’s rare..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Why do I even have to work this hard for a gem !??It’s so hard to earn a gem !! It’s designed to make player pay money to buy a gem ! Which is not fair ! Multiple tries to finish a level should earn you a gem, but nope! Every effort takes a gem away! Which frustratingly stalls the game for you ! You can’t upgrade equipment, you can’t get speed service nothing and the level never finished because of this ! It’s a vicious loop !! Also I hate how you get only 4-5 tries per game until the groceries fill up ! It should be unlimited 40 mins at least !!! Doing it without any gems makes it harder anyways !.Version: 0.10.5
✓ Too Many Problems, Needs Improvement.As of right now, this is my favorite game. I play it everyday, but every time I play it gets on my nerves. First of all, the timed challenges are unreasonable. If they give you 1:20 seconds to play, you only get 1:15. The timer starts before you walk in and the people arrive, so it takes five seconds to start. And even if you got the five seconds, it’s still impossible. Also, there aren’t enough chances to earn gems. It’s nearly impossible to have over ten gems at once, and you need that many to upgrade your materials enough to complete a level, and it makes it less fun. Next on the list, the power ups. There are too few of them, and when you actually get them, it automatically equips them, so half the time I end up using them by accident. Now, this really bothers me. On levels where I can get to stars and I only earn one, it doesn’t give me the star! It makes the game SO much harder and really frustrating. Overall, the game is really fun, but the timed challenges are impossible. There are too few gems, the power ups are frustrating, and the stars are a scam. I really hope for improvement in this game because it’s so fun..Version: 1.1.1
✓ This game is a jokeI used to love this game, thought it was different and was thoroughly enjoying the experience however the game takes your items to help you pass levels without letting you play the level, let me explain. I went to play a level when the loading screen came up and told me to retry and restart because signal was poor which I thought fair enough as my internet can be temperamental, but going back on there they took 10 energy and the power up I had saved up my diamonds for to use, I complained to customers services and they said it would’ve been due to the internet and there’s nothing they could do, so taking this into consideration I ended up putting my 4g on as well WiFi so the strength would be good no matter what but even when playing with full bars of WiFi and 4g on the loading screen kept coming up and just taking my power ups and energy, this is ridiculous and I’m now deleting the app, is such a shame as well.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Hidden EvilI loved Diner Dash on a computer and could even become fairly addicted, but this version had many disappointments. It would appear to be an innocent game, rated for age 4, but the adds would be soft porn. I was appalled at this. Then at Halloween they wanted you to collect witches cauldrons, so I took a break for that month. Now, I cannot go onto the next level without having my fortune read. Why do they have to put witchcraft into what was an innocent and super fun game?! At this point I knew I couldn’t play it anymore because I will not support this witchcraft..Version: 1.53.2
✓ Money money moneyRecipe for a bad game experience. Take a classic fun well loved game played for years by millions, mix with a nice playable idea, add extremely expensive diamonds without which you can’t progress ( at least 10 diamonds for another 5 levels or 1 diamond to update an item) , allow 1 free diamond per day maybe if your lucky, bake for 5 levels before you have to spend money to continue playing ( nothing wrong with in game purchases but if you have to buy stuff to play more than 5 levels a day with no way of earning what you need then something is seriously wrong with your idea of acceptable ), delete unplayable game in frustration that a good, fun, classic game has been ruined by greed..Version: 1.0.2
✓ READ THIS PLSIt’s a great game I give it 4/5 stars the reason I gave it 4 and not 5 is because it gets kinda repetitive on the upgrading part after awhile. It’s not really how good your reflects/ or how quick you are it has to do more on how good your upgrades are if that makes sense. And I also wish they would work on the gems part because without them you can’t really do anything like rn I have to wait until it gives me a chance to get gems. At this moment I have over 6K coins and 0 gems and I’m just here stuck just waiting I hope it gives you more chances on getting gems. Ik you can go to a place where it gives you more options on getting gems but most of them have to do by buying something by your credit card or for example a few of them tell you to give them your opinion on something and I was like okay sounds simple enough after I gave my opinion it ask me to put my name my address how old I was my credit card of which I don’t have and I was like why would you need a credit card and other personal stuff of which I didn’t feel comfortable giving please fix the gem problem I really like this kind of game..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Ruined by the updates and subsequent massive downloadsThe actual game is enjoyable but every time the app has an update, there’s always a massively frustrating, timely and ridiculous downloads that follow. The app already has problems due to their servers not being able to handle the game as is, and the load that they put onto the user is just unacceptable. I put off downloading the most recent update because I knew that the the update would have a subsequent download that takes forever and I was right. I kept the app open for 30 minutes and only 2 parts had downloaded, but the rest of the sections were still halfway finished and remained that way. The app will not allow you to play until you download whatever update has been put out, and the packages have been increasingly cumbersome and timely. I play other games and I update them regularly but I never experience this kind of issue, even if there’s an additional download that has to download after the update, only this one. It’s very ridiculous and ruins everything to the point that I’m about to delete it from my phone, because more and more these updates are just unacceptably and massively frustrating. Why would a gameplay developer pass that kind of data requirement onto their users?.Version: 1.24.11
✓ GlitchingWith the introduction of random ads my game is now glitching. Instead of loading the ads the game doesn’t load properly. I’m trying to do the granny game and instead of going to the next level after completing one, the game crashes and puts me back to level 8. Very frustrating..Version: 1.42.2
✓ No goodThis game has gone from awesome to bad fast. You think with all the updates they’d be improving things but they aren’t. It is now way harder to gain gems which you need to upgrade literally everything. You can’t even watch an ad to get gems anymore. The groceries that you need to be able to play, has gone from 30 seconds to a minute and a half. The other problem I have is watching adds and not actually receiving the gift the add was for. Bare in mind I’m a paying player, I pay for things so when I do watch adds and receive nothing it is rather frustrating..Version: 1.44.0
✓ Needs improvementI was so excited to see this new diner dash Game as I have been a diner dash fans for nearly 2 decades now. So u can just imagine how quick I was to d/l to this game...but after playing it I’ve realised that even though everything was designed beautifully & it was ALMOST perfect there was one flaw that got me so frustrated & that was how HARD it was to get a freakin gem! & basically all of the upgrades that u have to do will cost u a gem. & the daily goal - I thought by completing it I expected the reward for completing it would be like 5 gems after all there was like 6 steps I think it was to complete in order to get the gem reward but after quickly completing one tnite all I got from it was one gem. I still love the game which is why I’ve given it a 3 but the gems & also the boost & basically every upgrade u need - doesn’t make it easy to get a gem. Take a look at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant dash & the way they’ve structured gettin boost etc..Version: 0.8.5
✓ Need More Ways To Earn GemsThis is a great game but I would like to be able to earn more gems without having to buy them. Lives run out too quickly as you have to use 10/50 each game. Enjoying it though, used to have it on Nintendo DS many years ago, however, over the past 2 days every time I get the option to watch a video for an extra Gems I press it and it disappeared so no way to earn extra outside of paying or the offers every 6 hours. Re started my device to see if it was this but it is still the same after a complete reset this may be a new bug in the game..Version: 1.15.3
✓ Connection issuesHave been enjoying the game for a long time up until today. It kept on saying to restart or retry due to no internet connection. I checked multiple times and I’m definitely connected to wifi. I even tried with 4G/LTE mobile data and it’s still saying I have no connection to the internet. Would be great if this can be fixed because the game is so addicting..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Don’t botherI play a lot of cooking games and I spend money. I do not mind spending money on games. I figure it’s a business like any other. But this game has gotten excessive. It does not matter how many gems you buy, you will never have enough. At least with other games, you win a gem or something for completing a level. On this one - sometimes you “win” a gem that goes in a piggy bank that you can BUY, so you didn’t really “win” anything. It’s a decent price, but ridiculous if you think about it. You rarely win gems and you may get them by watching videos. I say may because often you win more coins or the gem is not actually rewarded. Also, the idea of a game is to have fun. It’s no longer fun when levels are only attainable by busting out the credit card. A healthy balance is good. Sure, can the gems add up? Yes, but then an upgrade will cost a hell of a lot more. I usually do not even bother writing a bad review. I simply delete the app and move on. But I just thought I would try to warn maybe a couple of people before you spent your money. Again, it’s pretty sad when you are losing people who actually don’t mind spending money on games when you have gotten too greedy and are nickel and dining (intentional) them to death..Version: 1.14.7
✓ Love the gameplay disappointed by the faultsI love the actual game play, serving people as fast as possible, upgrading the cafe and fixing up the town. However, the last couple of days, every now and again, when I try to start a level, it’ll have connection problems. I’ve checked my internet is fine and none of my other apps have issues. These connections problem are robbing me of the game’s energy and whatever power ups I’ve wanted to use. I also tried to do some of the free quizzes to get gems but the game doesn’t register that I have completed them. If they fixed these issues, I would love this game but they really put a downer on it!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Bugs in the gameSupport is useless and do not take any action when I highlight the bugs in the game For example, I have just finished the VIP challenge and was about to smash the pig at the end. But a link to invite a friend popped up which I accidentally clicked. When I closed the link, the pig is no longer available for me to collect my rewards! I shouldn’t have clicked on the link but I shouldn’t have lost the rewards I’d won either. If I had known it was a choice of either inviting a friend or collecting the rewards I had won (my first time by the way) then I would have been more careful. I will log a support however I am only expecting a generic message, requesting a screenshot of the problem, delete cache/cookies, close other open apps, enough memory on your device, check internet connection...usual unhelpful advice.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Help pleaseI am unable to play this now was going really good and then next minute it’s saying that it cannot run on this device type and my phone is a iPhone 6+ it didn’t have a problem before soo not happy love playing this game and now being told I cannot play it please help. I have uninstalled it and then installed it and same message.Version: 0.8.5
✓ TracyI would love to play this game but unfortunately it won’t load on my apple device even though the game says it is compatible for my iPhone. Very disappointed!! Now you are advertising this game as videos on some of the other games I play and I get to play the mini game but I still can’t play it on my iPhone. I am very angry as I love diner dash and I would love to play this one but unfortunately I can’t even though it says it is compatible to my phone but when I try to downloaded it says it isn’t. I hope this issue gets fixed soon because otherwise I will never play your games again..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Too difficult and long to get Gems for game upgrades.Just started playing the game two days ago and I’m already bored and frustrated. The frustrating part is that you’ll need not only coins to upgrade your food and appliances, you also need to get gems for those upgrades. The coins are fine and easy to achieve since you’ll get them from playing each level however the gems are so hard to get!! The best way to get free gems without paying real money is to wait 8 hours for the Daily Deals and “buy” them with your coins. Even the “offers” to get free gems by watching ads are frustrating! They make you answer some dumb quiz and you NEED TO GET 100% RIGHT in order to get the gems. Those quizzes also takes quite a bit of your time as well! It’s so annoying after spending 10-15 mins answering dumb quiz questions and finding out one wrong answer and you get.. NOTHING from it. I actually got an infinity grocery bag from the mailbox that let’s me play for three days. Even with that I’ve lost interest in the game cause I can’t proceed to higher levels without upgrading my food and appliances for the game. No point wasting my time playing. Gonna just delete the app now...Version: 1.0.2
✓ I’m utterly disappointed!I loved this game to start with. Then realised you always needed gems to upgrade things and the only way you can get gems is to buy them! Why can’t there be the option to just use coins? THEN about a week ago my game kept crashing mid way through a dash and I’d loose my gems, my groceries, my coins and if I was using a perk like flo dash or colour match I’d loose that too. It especially sucked when I was just about to beat the level and it crashed. I contacted the tech help and they didn’t do anything. I got a few refunds from Apple for a couple of purchases but not nearly as much as I spent. NOW the game has completely frozen and I’ve lost EVERYTHING! My chapter progress, my coins, my gems and I was up to the fish shack!!! The game says my ID isn’t recognised and I need to erase and start again. I thought it was an update issue so I updated the app. Nope. I deleted and downloaded again. Nope. All my progress is gone and now the app won’t even open for it. I’m so frustrated, I loved the game but it’s now just been a waste of time, money and energy. DON’T DOWNLOAD!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ TornI was torn on my rating. I LOVE playing this game but find it infuriating I either have to spend money or wait 600 years to earn gems. If you have to buy all upgrades in order to beat the levels the gems should be easier to earn. I love that you give free ones everyday, but it’s not enough. I also dislike that it “costs supplies” to play levels. I’m not interested in playing 5 levels and then waiting for my supplies to regenerate unless I want to spend money on gems to refill right away, and I’m not interested in waiting for free gems to regenerate in order to buy more upgrades. I’m not saying gems should be unlimited but there should be more opportunities to earn them daily and a “supply limit” is just frustrating. I am a binge player and I miss the unlimited play of old diner dash. I started playing this because I’m a huge fan of the original diner dash, flow on the go, hotel dash and wedding dash and this is now the only version available. Like I said, the game play itself I LOVE. I just wish I was allowed to play as much as I wanted but the current supply and gem limits don’t allow for it. It’s a great game, LET ME PLAY!!!!.Version: 1.11.8
✓ Upgrading is too hardThe gems are too hard to get. The game is fantastic and fun, but clearly designed to push you to spend money. They purposely make upgrades dependent on gems, and make gems very hard to obtain. Then flash their shop in front of you with all the sales options. They even ask if u want to pay money to retry after every lost level. Which i found distasteful. It just took away from the immersive game experience..Version: 1.0.2
✓ The worst customer support experience I’ve ever hadI’m not going to say that the game isn’t fun cause it is, I really enjoy playing it. However, the customer support for this app is horrendous. I’ve spent multiple days just trying to get a glitch that happened to be fixed to no avail. I had to repeat the same things multiple times because the support person continually gave me answers for things I wasn’t inquiring about and/or weren’t even related to my issue. On top of being just frustrating in the handling of the issue they didn’t end up fixing my issue and essentially told me that they wouldn’t fix it and it was my fault for a glitch that occurred with their game. As long as you never have an issue where customer support is needed the game is totally worth playing but if you do need them you better not get your hopes up that they will actually listen to you or fix anything. TLDR: support ignores your issue, frustrating experience, won’t fix issue. Fun game otherwise Edit: after reading other reviews it looks like a lot of people have experienced the same issues as me. I’d also like to note that it took the customer rep hours to respond which is why this issue took days to “resolve” which really just means my customer rep implying I was lying multiple times.Version: 1.5.5
✓ ImpossibleThis game is impossible to play without constantly paying $$$ for gems in order to upgrade and move on to the next level. Such a disappointment as it is such a fun game and older iterations were not like this! I’m not paying a crap- load of money to play this. Come on this is pure greed making a once great game garbage..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Needs improvementGame is fun to play but it crashes and freezes a lot, tried on both iPhone and iPad and both had same issues..Version: 1.49.1
✓ Waste of time and moneyIt was good at the start until you had to start paying real money to be able to get stars to build up the town. Unless you have boosts or upgrade your food/grill prices and the time it’s prepared (which you also have to have diamonds for that you also have to BUY as well, or wait each day to receive one free one from watching an ad) it’s almost impossible to get to the next level. If you don’t make it to another star you have an option of paying $2.99 just to finish the level. Waste of time and money. Would NOT recommend on downloading..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Really great game just a few things I don’t like.I have been playing this game for over a year now. I love Flo and diner dash games, I’ve been playing them for years. I love the storylines, the new characters and challenges. Game of thrones is fun but I’ve bought so many upgrades including money that I still can’t ever place in the top 10 even. The breakfast truck with Shakes I thought was a super cool idea. But it’s so hard to level up things and stay on top of making food for your truck to run, half the time I don’t even play that even when it happens. Another thing is I always end up waiting weeks for the next levels. I understand I may play the game faster than developers can make which is why I’m super happy there are other levels to the game I can play while waiting. Normally when this happens I’ll just log on for my daily bonuses and wait patiently for a new chapter to begin after awhile. I’ll continue to play because I love watching the story line and seeing all the new things we can build in dinertown. I’ll be willing to change my rating if things improve because I really want to give it 5 plus stars! 💜💜💜.Version: 1.14.7
✓ Always been a fan disappointedI have followed all the dash games and Diner was always my favourite, when I saw this advertised I downloaded it straight away. I have enjoyed playing the levels but have now got to the stage where if I don’t spend money I can’t gain enough stars in the level as the time runs out and then also I need diamonds to do anything meaning more money to play the game. I refuse to spend constantly on an app, something needs to be added as I’m bored of it. I have repeated the same level several times and because I can’t get to two stars without needing to spend money the stars aren’t counted and I’m just stuck in a cycle. Very disappointed, address this..Version: 1.0.2
✓ DisappointedDisappointed buy something they charged me and it disappeared.Version: 1.50.3
✓ Too many crashesGame was great but now it keeps crashing. You finish a level and it crashes and then you have to keep repeating the same level. Very frustrating..Version: 1.45.2
✓ Probably will deleteI’m giving it two stars for a couple different reasons. At first I would have given it 4-5 stars because I liked how it wasn’t just the diner you could slowly open a whole map and design things but then once I got farther in the game I’d win 2-3 stars and it would give me 1 or none at all it’s done that at least 5 times now and then on the grandma vine game or whatever it is I played a game 3 times in a row each time getting a score over 600 and winning all 3 flowers but every time at the end it would tell me connection error when I never disconnected from WiFi and everything was fine and I’d have to restart and do the same level over even though it took my dash things and didn’t award me with the flowers so I essentially wasted my dashes and diamonds do get those dashes. I’ve put a lot of money into this game and I don’t EVER purchase things in a game but for some reason I wanted to on this and I enjoyed it up until it started doing this to me. I’m probably going to end up deleting it if it doesn’t get resolved and my stuff isn’t rewarded or my things are returned especially the things I paid literal money for and they were taken..Version: 1.24.11
✓ Why Two Stars?I have always loved Diner Dash. I find myself downloading every version of it. The graphics are great and I love the transformations you get to do. However, I feel like this game is solely after your money. You only get one star per level that you clear, and it takes you two stars just do do simple tasks that don’t really have to do with the restaurant. For example, it took me about 4 stars to make birds return to the plaza. I’m currently in the game where I have over 7000 coins, but only one gem and you pretty much can’t do anything without the gems. Every level has been timed, you only get about 1:30 to beat each goal, but they take 5 seconds off your time because you have to wait for Flo to get into position, then you have to wait for the customer to show up. The characters that are out of your control (the cook) is VERY slow, but you can’t upgrade the cook without gems, you can’t get gems without beating levels (unless you pay for them), and you can’t beat the levels because the cook is slow. It’s all very frustrating. It’s a shame because this has potential to be a VERY enjoyable game. It’s just always about the almighty dollar. Upsetting!:(.Version: 1.0.2
✓ CrashingAlways crashing now…constantly, for days now. Can’t play anymore..Version: 1.42.2
✓ Love the game but has its downfalls!So.. i do absolutely love the idea of this game, I've always been a huge fan of diner dash so the fact that you can play the levels and customise the town is amazing!! Different to the usual match-3 games. However, you hit a certain point where you struggle to earn the stars to customise, because the level is too hard to beat. To complete the level you need to upgrade a few options but this costs too much money and diamonds. Even though the daily tasks and sale are great, it still costs too many diamonds to upgrade. One task i just completed was to upgrade twice, which can cost around 10-15 diamonds, but you only get one diamond in return as a reward.. i will still play but it is disheartening sometimes as alot of people don’t have the money to spend on the diamond/coin packages..Version: 1.9.4
✓ Extreme LaggingI love this game, let me say that first. But in the last month, it has gotten ridiculous how much it is lagging and costing me turns. Just now I had the game freeze and need to restart five times in ten minutes. During the last monthly restaurant, I would use turns and not even be able to play. The level would start and the customers just stand right in the middle of the restaurant. You couldn’t see orders, distribute food, and when done, the screen would freeze. But you never got the turns back. I’ve lost many “power ups” like Fast Flo, because I select them for a level that turns out to be unplayable. I don’t get my turn or the power up back. I’ve had days where the game is literally unplayable. Not to mention the new daily changing restaurant for the game. Now instead of being able to advance by purchasing upgrades to one restaurant to advance, you have different ones daily. So you either purchase more diamonds to upgrade each one or skip the day and hope the next level is one you have done before. I have spent so much on this game and love it, but it’s so frustrating now, and it’s feeling like a money grab..Version: 1.49.1
✓ What is thisI thought I was downloading diner dash and this is not it !!! It’s no where close to the original game. Where’s Flo ????.Version: 1.38.2
✓ Very poor game.I was playing the game when it suddenly kept telling me that it couldn’t connect to the internet. I tried different wifi servers like they suggested but it still came up with the same problem. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ITS TERRIBLE AND THE HELP DESK IS NOT MUCH HELP.Version: 0.8.5
✓ Still New?Unfinished may be the right word, or maybe I’m just hopeful. All the bad reviews are about the money grabbing system of requiring hard to come by diamonds for everything, which is why I came here too. The showcased great reviews are defending this system by implying patience is the remedy. I was told never to point out a problem without offering a solution so here it is. I am patient, and I played for three days patiently taking every given opportunity for free diamonds as suggested. This may work, if you want days worth of progression needlessly stretched into months. On principle, though, I shouldn’t have to use diamonds for upgrades that the game cannot progress without. On principle, I shouldn’t be losing upwards of 30+ diamonds I earn with every star to an already full piggy bank. On principle, this game should give an alternative to using diamond. Expensive coin cost OR diamond, expensive coin trade FOR diamonds, diamonds for exclusive appeal items ONLY (like the idea behind keys’ use in town upgrades). Coming from a very patient person, this app is the start of a good game with an unfortunate paywall barring the enjoyment of the casual player. A flop, by mobile game standards..Version: 1.10.7
✓ Nice game, but...The servers keep having issues, and because of this, a handful of my boosts and keys I accumulated by playing the game and by purchasing have disappeared. It’s quite annoying. Especially when I have to be the one burdened to prove that the game has issues. Thankfully, I recorded when it happened. I just need to know who to address. The only game I have yet to encounter any issues with is the Sims FreePlay. Why can’t all apps follow their lead when it comes to avoiding bugs and other issues that end up cheating us out of our money and time? I’ve played that game since 2016. Not once have any of my items/currency disappeared, nor have they had any server problems. I’ve only been playing DDA for less than a month. On a more positive note, I will commend the musical composers of this game. Diner Dash has always had catchy tunes since I played the game on PC way back when. Anyway, I don’t know who to reach out to or what can be done about these issues, but I refuse to purchase anymore gem/coin currency packs and I would recommend others not to do so either until they can maybe reassure that the game will stop crashing and stealing our purchased/earned items. It’s theft..Version: 1.16.4
✓ Game is goodIt’s good, pretty fun, but it’s SO centred around premium, I get you have to make money but it’s over the top. Everything requires gems. They’re rarely given more than 1 here and there. They have an offer section where you can earn gems. Many don’t need sign up, none I’ve completed work. They just sit in my status box. If I want to get help I have to fill in a form with proof, there’s multiple. I thought it would just work so never took any proof? Why would I need to. It should just work. So feels a bit con like. Plus I have ads on top too here and there. They’re not so bad as I can sometimes earn gems. The gems are not good value for money to how many gems you will use through the game. It’s a love hate for me. The game runs ok, couple glitches here and there but iPhone apps do sometimes. Fun story..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Good but have to pay ....... and game is buggy.Twi guy is wrong... not about wanting to progress quickly... it is wanting just to progress at all!!!, I am on chapter 2 and had to stop, as can’t get any further unless buy diamonds...... 20 for £2... not the worst pricing...not the best...would only get 2 upgrades.... I have tried every level to get stars and cannot! So, it cannot be done UNLESS I BUY DIAMONDS to get extras!!! Tried for days now. No joy! I don’t mind buying to enhance, but when only way to progress.... NO, NO NO!!!! Do not mind slow way to progress, but I do not wish to take days just to get one extra item.... game becomes very boring very quickly that way. Also, I got 2 diamonds in daily box and didn’t give them me, so game is buggy!.Version: 1.2.5
✓ DisappointingI like the idea of the game and enjoyed playing the levels until it became near impossible to move forward (which was only on the 2nd chapter- needing stars to complete quests but not actually being able to get more stars as the game made it too difficult).Version: 0.5.6
✓ Great game but HATE GEMSI love the game, played all the dash ones before and this one does pay tribute to all the previous old school Flo adventures. However it is extremely annoying that all the upgrades have to be purchased with gems as well as coins and you cannot really earn gems within the game. So unless you spent real money to purchase gazillion amount of gems you can’t really progress. The game gets harder and harder with each level but your equipment doesn’t get better coz you can’t afford it, thus you get stuck on a level and ultimately get annoyed and bored and abandon the game all together. I wish this wasn’t an issue. I would rather pay for the game and then just relax and play and not be so dependent on these stupid gems. Also the fact that you have to be constantly connect to the internet makes it a little inconvenient, sometimes if you loose connection you loose level progress and the whole game just freezes and also I cannot play while travelling which is when you usually want to play..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Downloaded but can’t playJust downloaded and won’t take me past the main diner dash page. Read others have problems too . This needs to be fixed ASAP.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Really?The fact that it is pay to win/ pay to play absolutely infuriates me. I will not be forced to BUY anything just to win a match. Spend 8-10$ just to buy a few power ups so I can win a level? Absolutely not. Will not be playing again ruined for me. Thanks I guess.Version: 1.39.2
✓ Hopeless without real moneyThe game started awesome then I hit a wall when I needed to make upgrades with gems and coins, coins are easy enough to come by but the gems are almost impossible to get without spending real money, also the auto selection of power ups results in wasting them on levels where I don’t need them, deleting this game at level 11 cause I’m sick of the scam for money.Version: 1.0.2
✓ What happened to Diner Dash?!I used to play this game on the computer and I’m sad to find that the phone version pales in comparison...the added storyline is such a distraction and they’ve taken out much of the original game play..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Highkey a cash-grabbing disappointment.Initially, it’s good fun, but once you start getting into it you realise you need gems to upgrade everything in order to beat the levels, obtain stars and progress with the story. this is all well and good, however, it’s almost impossibly to efficiently obtain gems. the only “efficient” way to obtain the necessary gems to upgrade appliances etc. is to pay for them which has completely put me, an judging by other reviews, many others off the game. focus on satisfying the people that play your game before you leech money out of them. Disappointed..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Game freezingGreat game. Entertaining enough, but when playing the trucks for a 2 day live event, the extended play CONTINUOUSLY FREEZES! To add to that, the player looses the play, the amount of coins collected and any new standing in the ranks. Super annoying. This go around my game has already froze 4 times!!! Not cool. Fix the freaking problem. Good thing it’s just a game..Version: 1.35.3
✓ Don’t bother unless you want to pay to playLove the game but it is obvious that the developers just want you to spend money. Gems are required to upgrade items and you can only upgrade with gems, of course gems are hard to come by unless you spend money. Completely ruins the game as you cannot win certain levels without completing the upgrades or having boosts which you can only purchase with gems. Developers need to make gems easier to obtain without having to spend money, I started playing the game today and am only on chapter 2 I will probably delete the game before getting to chapter 3!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Has potentialThe game concept is great and the graphics are engaging. Its easy to gain energy to play as there are different ways of winning free plays. However, gaining diamonds to upgrade equipment is nearly impossible. All of the upgrades need money and diamonds. Without upgrades the levels are impossible to beat. I really enjoyed the original Diner Dash game and had great hopes for this version. I deleted the game after a few days playing because it was impossible to make progress through the levels without purchasing diamonds with actual currency..Version: 1.35.3
✓ Hard to progress without paying.This is overall a very fun game but the fact that you need so many gems to upgrade your diner and they are so difficult to obtain is frustrating and a bit of a turn off. Also, having a continuous issue where I don’t get actually obtain of the things I get from the daily/weekly deliveries. This week I have earned a 15 minute free play and two upgrades and neither have activated or appeared in my game screen. Seems odd to have the daily deliveries if it’s a show and you don’t actually get anything from it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ ALL ABOUT THEM GEMSI thoroughly enjoyed this game while reminiscing the OG game which was super addictive. I like the added features to this new version where you can customise the diner and other things but honestly! In order to move forward in the gem you gota buy gems. There’s other ways to get gems for free but it takes way too long. At the rate it takes the get gems, I would probably end up deleting the game and move on to something else. I know most games have in app purchases but this is ridiculous. Honestly wish the app developers would make it easier to acquire gems or remove the whole using gems to upgrade thing. Can’t we just use the coins only? I CANT EVEN UPGRADE MY STOVE TO MAKE COOKING FASTER AND THERES A CLOCK TICKING FOR EACH LEVEL WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET STARS!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Money HungryThis game would be a lot of fun if it weren’t for the gem system. The game starts out good but very quickly becomes impossible to win or progress without upgrades, which is fine, except they all cost coins and gems. Gems cost money unless you slowly get them from daily deals. So it gets pretty old pretty fast. I get that you need to make money but there’s probably better ways of doing it then making literally every upgrade cost gems.Version: 1.1.1
✓ A SCAMYou can only make it so far into the game until you have to start buying gems. And the cost is way too high for it’s worth!! The Dash games used to be so good. Now they’re just a money grab 🤦♀️.Version: 1.51.1
✓ Good but I’m stuckSimilar to all the other reviews I’ve progressed as fas as I can go by playing the game organically. In order for me to play on I need to purchase more gems which I’m not inclined to do. I’d rather pay a small fee for the app up front and be able to play it all the way through rather than give it me for free but make it impossible to get through the first stages. Love this brand of game but hate what they’ve done to it. I’m bored of waiting to have enough ‘lives’ to continue playing and even more bored of repeating the same levels over and over again in an attempt to win a star to continue the game. Shame..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Extremely disappointedIn the second level of the game when you have had no chance to collect stars or upgrade anything, why are you bombarded by level after level of timed events forcing you to use what few boosters you have earned or spend real money. There are no opportunities to earn stars that you desperately need to upgrade items. After 2 weeks stuck on Level 11 I finally got to watch an ad for a free star which I didn’t even receive! When you have limited life due to energy requirements, why do you lose a life even when you successfully complete a level? Two major frustrations that make it blatantly obvious they want you to spend real money and take away any enjoyment you may have in your very short play time (the timed levels in level 2 are about 1.5 mins so you burn through your lives pretty fast). The original Diner Dash was so much more fun..Version: 0.6.2
✓ Never enough gemsYou earn gems to upgrade for more hearts and coins. BUT you are always short of gems. When you DO earn gems when finishing a level, they put them in a piggy bank and save them for you to buy for actual cash - currently $2.99 for the 40 you earned. You can earn one when the ad watch is triggered, or for a daily quest completion when 1 gem is the reward, when a random boost appears that will drop extra gems (usually 1-2), and a few free in the store each refresh of the store. But this game only improves when you spend gems for upgrades. You cannot progress very far without those upgrades. Example - you need to earn 100 coins to advance. Without upgrading you will always be 34 coins short, even with boosts activated, trying different strategies (which can sometimes get you closer to the 100 and maybe 1 or two coins over, but not usually), because you haven’t upgraded at least one item or character (and you typically need to upgrade at least 2) to generate those extra coins. And what do you need to upgrade items? Gems and sometimes coins as well. So you will always be gem-poor and coin-rich and stuck at a level unable to progress until you either buy gems in the store, buy back your hard-earned gems locked in a piggy bank, or accumulate the free gems over several days. So play on after spending actual money or great lengths of time to accumulate gems to spend no money..Version: 1.39.2
✓ Even though I like this game...I’ve been finding that there are a lot more ads now and they pop up and waste “free”time earned. It used to be you watched ads to earn supplies or gems but now they just pop up randomly. It’s really annoying. And for the stupidest games that are never as advertised..Version: 1.43.2
✓ Gem system needs major improvementA very addicting game. The story is fun to follow and the userface is easy to learn. It's very heavy on gems for upgrades, but the upgrades don't always reflect in the cost. E.g. upgrading the soup price from $1 to $2 shouldn't cost 600 coins and 1 gem. Upgrading pie with cream from $2 to $4 shouldn't cost $900 and 4 gems (And that isn't even the final upgrade.) The first upgrade shouldn't cost any gems at all; maybe the third and fourth upgrade should cost gems. Upgrading characters is wasteful as you need to upgrade them for each building you play through. I bought one of the $16 gem packs, but it's not worth it in relation to these upgrades, where you need at least 2000 gems (a gross but likely realistic estimate) for EACH building or chapter group to make any progression. The rewards don't really feel like rewards when you see how many gems you need for upgrades; a little reward pig could have... three gems! But surprise, you need 11 to upgrade to pass ten levels, but then you'll need another 50 to make it past the next ten. Making it easier to buy gems with coins (not 2 free ones every 8 hours) would be better. The external opportunities to earn gems are also not worth it, and the options that don't include buying items literally take hours to answer for 3 gems. More options to watch ads (with a set limit a day) to a) earn more gems, b) help towards upgrades, and c) an option to continue playing at game over, d) to earn 10 more grocery points, would be preferred. Lastly, items/upgrades in the shop that you can't afford should be greyed out. If you can't afford anything in the shop, it shouldn't open at all at the end of the level. There's no point in a "tip" saying "you could have earned more coins if you had this!" Well yes, except i can't afford to buy the upgrade.... Overall very addictive but needs some major tweaks to make it work like a game and less like a bill payment..Version: 1.36.1
✓ App constantly crashesI love this game! However, over a year ago, it stated crashing all the time. I deleted and reinstalled it several times as instructed by Apple, and it has gotten worse. I sincerely hope the developer will fix whatever is going on with this game so that I can return with a 5 star rating..Version: 1.44.0
✓ Unsupported deviceI wish I could play this but it says that my device is unsupported. I have a iPhone 6 and you guys say it’s supported. Please fix this!! I really want to play!!.Version: 1.6.5
✓ It’s okayIf you have iPhone be careful with payments as I have been over charged.Version: 1.22.6
✓ Please bring back the old one!I would have been better off if this wasn’t a replacement for the old diner dash, but just another one for people who would like this more. I don’t like the idea of it, and I’d like the older one to be brought back please :) I enjoyed it much more and I liked the idea of there just being a simple storyline and you’d just run a restaurant every day. I was progressing quite well, but then I realised I couldn’t get it anymore and the last version I had of it was on my mums phone. Well, she ended up deleting it for space. Let’s just say that did not go down well with me. I’ve been missing it for months now..Version: 1.12.8
✓ Game is amazing however has some faults with the new update.Love this game and the introduction of having offers to gain gems for free etc. However with the latest update I’ve not been able to play the latest levels as it keeps appearing with “internet connection error, restart”. There is no internet connection problems with me as everything else works in terms of levels and mini games... just the main levels aren’t working. Please fix!!!.Version: 1.21.10
✓ Why won’t it load?Been playing for a couple of months now. On my phone. Now game will not load. Is says it cannot run on this device..Version: 0.8.5
✓ Having loading issues - PLEASE HELP ASAP!I’ve played diner dash for a few years now I’m up to level 763 and I have been mostly happy with it - but tonight after the new update I have had an issue with loading into the game. I’ve signed on and my daily box shuffle pops up as soon as I go into my game this is normally fine but there is a mission where it wants me to help Skillet dig for something and is glitching so the box shuffle and the mission join together asking me to help skillet while having the boxes still in the background and I can not click on anything so I’m stuck on one page. I really hope you can help me. If you are able to I will change my review straight away 👍 thank you for your time..Version: 1.24.11
✓ Die Hard Flo Fan...butI have been playing Diner Dash forever. I love the graphics, the story, etc. However, earning gems/coins/etc. is darn near impossible without paying for them. I’d watch a video to earn boosts/gems/coins like other apps. You do have the opportunity to earn free coins, but it’s for things I’m not going to sign up for-making a purchase from a vendor, take a poll that never ends and you still don’t get your gems, etc. I understand the company needs to make money, but when I buy the largest pack of gems and coins, I expect them to last longer than 1 week because I am using them just to upgrade my equipment so Cookie can product faster. Folks, I hate to say it, but there are apps out there that are just as enjoyable, allow you to earn more “freebies” in a shorter amount of time, and will allow you to progress without having to purchase anything if you are willing to wait a day or 2 or watch a video instead of having to complete actions on 3rd party websites and even when you complete the action-you don’t give the advertised bonus. I hate to do this to you my beloved Diner Dash—but this is a pass for me until you can match the opportunities of other competitors’ apps..Version: 1.0.2
✓ CrashesThe game keeps crashing and restarting every time I start a new game. It’s also frozen and I can’t get any new levels..Version: 1.19.6
✓ Enough with the pre-level ads!I’m fine with watching ads to gain things, but the introduction of ads randomly appearing at the start of a level is very disruptive and highly annoying. I’d pay for an actual full game, but sadly the days of getting an actual game instead of an advert dispensing game seems to be long gone..Version: 1.42.2
✓ Great upgrade to the story, butI decided to delete after a few days, it got quite frustrating to play. Disappointing. Pros: Great story upgrade! I enjoyed the mini goals to enhance the town decor and buildings. Cons: Too many to want to stay with the game! First, it’s difficult to level up past a certain point. I eventually hit a roadblock of no longer being able to upgrade my kitchen appliances, speed, and value of food purchases all because I needed “gems” - which is a currency in addition to the actual $$ earned from each level. And the 1-at-a-time gems I did manage to collect also needed to be used for other things such as: clothing upgrade, customer level. It’s an imbalanced way to play. The game is also intrusive. When showing me new features or “how you can get more gems by inviting via social media” the prompts won’t let me opt out and instead I have to keep clicking to the point of putting my name in or clicking the social media button. I just close out the game and start over..Version: 1.23.7
✓ Needs improvement big timeHi, I recently saw an ad for this game and straight away I downloaded it. I have been i love with the “dash” games for a very long time and wanted to see what this game entails. However, this bad review is on here as I went to go onto the game and it said “this device is not compatible” in which I was confused as my phone is listed as compatible in the description.... I am very confused and sad. Also it only loaded to 31% and did not open the actual gameplay. I please ask that you read this and are able to fix the bug issues that are occurring to players who are unable to access the game. xo.Version: 0.8.5
✓ DO NOT BUY GOLDFirst I love time management games and especially the Diner Dash series. They are addictive and it’s how I unwind. So Diner Dash has a new game - I am on board to play. I go in and start playing. It gets to the point I want to purchase gold and coins so I can advance my goals. Now I regularly will spend money playing games. The PROBLEM with this game is that the game would accept my payment but I never got the gold bundle. I re-tried the transaction - it charged me a second time and again I did not get the gold bundle. I contacted CUSTOMER CARE and they requested screen shots of my receipt and bank record. My bank shot had it showing as pending (but money is out of my actual bank account balance TWICE now). It’s clearly Diner Dash Gold Bundle - clearly two transactions right on top of each other. Screenshot of my game clearly shows no gold - no gold spent. They respond since it’s pending they can’t help and that they do not actually handle the purchases and they really can’t help me. Well as you start playing - and really want to get into it you need extra gold and coins to advance to the next level. Now I’m nervous to play and use the in-app purchase for gold and I and ANGRY that they took the money twice and I got robbed twice of nice gold bundle packages!!! BE CAREFUL!!!!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good but TOO HARD TO GET GEMSI have enjoyed playing this game a lot but the one major thing that should be changed in this game is the difficulty to get gems. It’s extremely difficult to earn gems in this game and they are essential in order to advance in levels as you used them buy upgrades and Hearst from customers. Without these upgrades and hearts you cannot beat the levels at all. Glu Games should make such upgrades and hearts cost coins and not gems or make gems easier to gain buy making them rewards for completing levels and/or allowing us to watch more ads to gain gems. Currently my game is at a standstill because I don’t have enough gems to buy upgrades to complete the level I’m on and I cannot purchase them with real money. I hope Glu Games sees the numerous reviews that focus on the difficulty to gain gems and resolves this problem fast as I and many others want to continue to enjoy this game..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Ok game if developers weren’t so annoyingGameplay is okay - fun to visit the different locations but slow to progress unless you are willing to spend money on games. Biggest peeve is the developers forcing you to waste the gems/upgrades/prizes you have earned/won when it isn’t necessary- for example every level starts with all extras activated even on the first level of a chapter where the goal is to serve one person and the extras serve no purpose. Removing them for every level is annoying and sometimes you accidentally use one. Another problem is the developers forcing you to use prizes, for example the “secret menu” - that is anything but secret - is opened as soon as I open the game and I cannot progress before I “claim” a prize of 1 hour free play - I’m about to head to work for the day and just wanted to chill and play a couple of levels. However there is no option to come back later and claim when I do want to play for an hour. So instead of chilling out to a few levels I’ve had to shut the app down 3 times trying to close the “secret menu” so I can just play only to find I can’t. So instead I’m here leaving this review before I delete the app. I’ll find another that will just let me play the game I downloaded.Version: 1.47.1
✓ App continues to crashApp is crashing more and more lately. Now it will load, then get to 97% and crash.Version: 1.43.0
✓ Glitchy and Disguised as a free gameLikely to only play for 5 mins before you’re required to spend a lot of money in order to advance in the game. It’s not cheap. So you’re unable to enjoy the gameplay because you constantly get harassed to spend money to continue from early on..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Recent Ad Updates Ruin GameUsed to love this game but the recent update has placed ads throughout the game (they used to be optional). This causes levels to not load properly and you often don’t receive your game rewards. Some ads automatically open the App Store, ruining the experience further..Version: 1.42.2
✓ Usually good gameLatest update added “Father Time” scenario. Each time I try to play this imbedded series, I get an error that I lost connection……reload. I cannot play this scenario, and it only plays for 21 days. I haven’t been able to play it for two days now. I will not be able to accomplish what I want out of that scenario if you don’t fix the problem. I can play other areas of the game without “lost connection”. Edited 2/2/22: Really upset right now! For the last few days, this has happened 2-4 times each day…. While playing, everything seems fine until suddenly in the middle of dashing around, everything stalls mid stride. Sometimes the characters will move a step or two again in a Jersey motion, then the app closes. Meanwhile, I have lost all of the stuff I was using for that scene. I have lost several of my allowed tries at the Game of Thorns scene, and I have lost several of each of my bonus items (fast flow, quick customer, color match) not to mention when I had achieved my goals or I should have received diamonds. None of that gets recorded before it closes, and when you reboot, it is as if you didn’t earn anything and you lost all your bonus/tools. Really starting to irritate me enough to stop playing (and I have been playing this for years).Version: 1.30.2
✓ Constant crashingGame is decent, but daily tasks can’t be done every day as it asks you to use up to five items and they rarely give these items out at all and I’d rather save them for emergencies. Leveling up customers seems to do nothing when you can just level up their loyalty which actually has a clear purpose. ALSO... ever since the last update, the game crashes MULTIPLE times a day. It’s on the brink of becoming unplayable, which means I’m about another two days of constant crashing away from just simply deleting it. EDIT: I cannot do a thing in this game now without it crashing, and I have deleted the game. I feel betrayed and angry since as I’d paid for gems a few times and it’s all been a waste. I will never play another game by this company again..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Needs some improvementsThe switching to different places is slow..Version: 1.38.2
✓ Amazing game, dumb store.As someone who grew up playing and loving diner dash, this game is fantastic. But the amount of gems required to upgrade items at a certain point gets ridiculous. If it costs that much, there should be a much simpler way to earn gems in game rather than purchasing- unfair money grab really. Make it cost more coins and 1-2 gems, max 3 to upgrade food items, customers, kitchen equipment and whatever else, then it would be worth 5stars..Version: 1.46.2
✓ Keeps crashing and a little priceyI am so addicted to this game but I feel diamonds should be a little easier to collect, otherwise you can’t progress far in the game without it taking forever- unless you’re willing to purchase diamonds.. Also this game has crashed so many times! I had one of each “perk” active and it crashed when I was half way through a level, I then lost the 3 perks, which I wasn’t too happy about and the energy used to play that level.. I was more upset about losing my perks though as without them, I am stuck on the same level! The game, as mentioned, is quite addictive, and I really enjoy playing it other than the crashing issue..Version: 0.10.5
✓ Disappointing Cash GrabI am a massive diner dash fan and not against spending SOME money to play games but this version is so disappointing because of the amount of gems you need to upgrade everything. You’re left with no choice but to buy copious amounts of gems because earning them takes forever ( you only win one here and there). The earn free gems option run by Tapjoy is a heap of BS. You never get the gem reward for completing surveys and the ridiculous options of taking stupid quizzes or spending large sums of money on products sold on untrustworthy sites makes me so mad... this is the reason I have deleted other games and is the reason I have now deleted this game. Very disappointing..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Annoying!!It keeps jumping from restaurant to restaurant ....there’s no moving your way through the levels in the restaurants in order i.e. Ice cream parlour - level 1,2, 3,4,5,6 ....and so on in sequence before you can open the next restaurant and move up the levels!! I hate having to use gems to upgrade appliances only to be moved onto a completely different restaurant next level. It needs to give the player some sort of the incentive to play the levels - upgrade the restaurant in order to work your way through the levels and complete that restaurant before you can move onto the next ...give a senseof achievement rather than just playing for the sake of it!! I used to love diner dash but they’ve changed too much of it, it’s actually really annoying now - I dip in and out of it but don’t spend money on it as there’s no incentive to do so!! Note to developers: please change it back to the old style diner dash 🙏.Version: 1.26.3
✓ Bugs galoreAt first gameplay was smooth. Every so often, the app just crashes and every error is presented as a “connection” problem blaming your internet. The dumbest part is that every time an error occurs, you’re forced to restart losing any progress made in a game/level. It does not recuperate any money/lives lost and it does not award any progress made..Version: 1.27.4
✓ Constant crashes and bugsI used to love this game, but for the last year or so, every time they do a new update, it constantly crashes or fails to load. It usually takes at least a week or two for them to fix the issue, and then a couple weeks later, they add a new restaurant/quest and the issues start all over again. So basically, the game is great around the third week of every month, but for the other three weeks, you’ll be restarting it constantly..Version: 1.45.2
✓ New StatusMy first review, which should have been sent two month ago, but just got sent. My new review is that as the game grows, obviously, glitches are happening more frequently and there will be more complaints to sift through, so customer service response gets slower, fine. My issue is, customer support is getting Way worse. It’s not the timing that is the issue, it’s that the support team has gone from apologetic and helpful, to accusatory. Doesn’t matter what you say or how you say it, it’s always, “there’s nothing in our record that indicate...” or “sorry, try this...” even when you Literally Just told them that’s what you did”, or even “that’s how the game is...” when you play everyday and know that isn’t true. What happened to “sorry, here are a couple gems for your patience and helping notify us of the issues you’re encountering”? I’m not asking for a lot, just good quality customer service. I work in customer service, your’s Isn’t good, and it’s getting worse. I’m one more bad experience with your customer service team away from deleting this And your other dash game from my phone and all devices I own. Stop outsourcing, or better train your employees. It’s not hard to say sorry instead of just telling is we’re playing the game wrong..Version: 1.6.5
✓ DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!Ok first I just wanna say I don’t usually leave bad reviews. Usually if I don’t like an app I just delete it and move on, but since there was such poor customer service I thought I would warn others. First I want to say that I really wanted to like this app. I was a huge Diner Dash fan, which is why I downloaded the app in the first place. I can confirm what the other reviews say about not being able to advance without spending actual money is true. It is expected with a play to win game, but early on in the game you reach the level of having to pay just to advance in the game. I had won 45 min. of free game play. I was 10 min. into the free gameplay, and set it down to grab a drink which took about 5 min. (Honestly took less than that) Anyways, when I sat back down I had lost all my free play. I tried to reach out to customer support to fix this error. They replied pretty fast, but basically called me a liar, and refused to fix the error. This fix wouldn’t have costed them anything, and honestly I would probably still be playing. I don’t have a problem with pay to plays, and usually spend money every month on my favorite apps buying things, but I won’t take being called a liar. I’m not the kind of person that would lie just to get things as I’m a gown adult that spends money each month on digital purchases. If you’re a Diner Dash fan like me, don’t waste your time on this app!.Version: 1.2.7
✓ RidiculousRidiculous that this game can not be played on anything older than a 6s. Like seriously?! Sorry ya’ll, we can’t all afford the latest greatest gadgets all the time. Though after reading the other reviews it seems like this game has just become a money hungry pit of disappointment anyway. Diner Dash used to be the best... what went wrong?!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Too many adsI loved this game and play nearly on a daily basis, but the new update with all the mid roll ads make the game infuriating to try to play..Version: 1.41.3
✓ I say don’t bother.The gems aren’t fair, the game is designed that you rely heavily on them in order to update anything. They’re very expensive and can just “disappear” if you’re not aware by using boosts etc that you think you may already have but do not. When playing a level your boosts are automatically selected and you need to unselect them not to use them. I played two episodes and I can’t open the third without winning all the stars in episode 2, however it’s not possible due to the game being timed and the cooking taking so long, you need to buy gems to upgrade your appliances to progress faster. Very boring, don’t play..Version: 1.9.4
✓ Annoyed as hellI don’t normally spend money in apps but during the nans house event I did on the last level to make sure I got enough ‘cookies’ to get all the sunflowers. As soon as I won the round it said disconnected try again. Kept pressing until it just said reload. So I did; went back into the event and hadn’t received the flowers or the gifts from the level. A little annoyed I gave it another go. Again spent money to get all sunflowers. Again won the round; and as soon as I did it said disconnected again. Argh!! So really you want us to spend money but don’t want us to actually achieve anything?!? Very annoying indeed. Sort your events out they’re glitchy as hell..Version: 1.12.8
✓ Ads make the game crashSuper fun game. But ads were introduced in the last little bit. I still continued playing the game as the ads were tolerable. But now it’s impossible to exit out of ads without restarting the game. Very disappointing. Please get this fixed. :/.Version: 1.43.0
✓ Disappointed...Ok, I get it... free to play mobile games are bound to have monetisation aspects, and I LOVE the diner dash franchise- always have ... However this takes it to a diff level... they changed it too much so if ur looking for the orig feeling then don’t waste your time. I agree it defo encourages you to not only buy gems but also forces you to either use them or to use the ‘free’ power ups without giving you the choice to unselect them, that always puts me off games! It forces you to use ‘credits’ to play each level which will run out after avg 4 lvls and it almost lures you into in app purchasing if ur not careful. DONT RECOMMEND AT ALL! I’d rather buy as a full game than have to deal with all the in ur face-buy our extras constantly!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Money needed to progressFun at first but diamonds are needed to upgrade almost everything and upgrades are necessary to really progress in the game. Hardly won boosters are selected by default before each level leading to spend them, often by mistake, pushing you to buy some with real money. Quite disappointing really.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Needs to be a little betterIt’s fun but after awhile it gets frustrating. Everything cost gems but gems come slowly. The first upgrade of everything should be strictly coins and after that it shouldn’t be 8 gems just to upgrade something. It should be way more attainable. I even do the daily goals, daily deals, AND daily deliveries as well as watching ads with offers to maximize my gem count and it can still be unrealistic. Sometimes you’re offered one gem from each of those so that’s only 4 and then you have to wait at least 8 hours for another gem. It can take three days just to get 8 gems at times. Second- I’m at the fish shack on the ocean and I have upgraded everything at least once and still can’t pass certain levels. I upgraded two items at once and STILL couldn’t pass levels getting anymore stars or anything. I even have three days of free play (almost over) and can’t get anywhere. Third- the specials levels shouldn’t cost gems to upgrade stuff. You already don’t get enough. I’ve played beatrix’s day off multiple times and I’ve passed three levels all together because you can’t get anywhere without upgrading, same with game of thorns. It’s ridiculous..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Poor on GemsIt’s a bit hard to play game when gems aren’t really obtainable. Seldom do you get gems throughout the game let alone enough to be able to up-skill. Not everyone is able to buy with real money and game coins don’t get you much either. To be able to further in the game you need coins and gems and not just one or two more like 6-15 for just one upgrade..Version: 0.7.9
✓ Gems.Loved the game but hard to earn gems and and gain stars, wants you to buy more gems or coins. Considering uninstalling this game. Not worth buying or maintaining this game. Now the other problem with stupid game is they only give so many patrons so you can never get to the next star without purchasing gems & stars, 😩 I will give it a few more weeks as I’ve already purchased gems, but watching how they operate, I will be uninstalling the other 3 games of theirs. There are other games worth playing without forking money over all the time. Not happy 😡.Version: 1.0.2
✓ This keeps crashing!!Why all of a sudden is the game not working? I keep getting a message saying that your servers aren’t working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my app. I’ve reset my phone. My phone is updated, and the problem keeps happening. I’m super frustrated with this. Can you please fix it and I will change my star rating!!.Version: 1.49.1
✓ Needs improvementOverall enjoy playing this game and have bought a few things to move forward a bit faster. But after the latest update, I’ve noticed it takes way too long for supplies to reload. Almost feels like you don’t want us to play?? With 50 supplies you can play for 15 minutes but then you have to wait almost two hours before you can play another 15 minutes. If you want me to buy more, than I need to be able to actually play… Did anyone else notice this?.Version: 1.35.3
✓ Money hungryThis is such a shame, I love love love DinerDash games, always have but this game is just too grabby! I ended up with 4days worth of free energy and still ended up putting money into progress after playing levels over and over again to get coins, because you need gems for EVERYTHING and they’re not given out at all. If the levels are not passable without the use of boost, then where’s the fun. Even with boosts, if you haven’t upgraded everything, you still wont pass. Where’s the fun. For a game aimed at 4+ it is disgusting that it’s so money centric. I mean, £1.99 to carry on a level if you don’t earn all the stars!? Are you serious....Version: 1.10.7
✓ Doesn’t work properlyDo not get this game! I have been facing issues in which I am completing levels but it is not registering. When i contacted support regarding this, they basically said they could not help! I spent real money, £1 to progress through this game as I was really enjoying it, yet the moment I faced an issue with the game, I got no support and nothing changed. It is such a shame as it is a good game, but there are so many issues with it preventing progression and stopping me from enjoying the game! The company needs to fix these issues and if they do i think it will be a really good game, but until they do, do not get it as it will just frustrate you!.Version: 1.7.3
✓ I love it and yet I hate itI love this game - always have. But it is way too hard to get the upgrades. I’ve been stuck on chapter 3 for so long because I can’t get the stars because I can’t get the upgrades because it takes so long to get gems. I know you want us to buy them, I get that - but it feels like cheating! I just had a diamond galore or whatever you call it - 15 minutes, 40 groceries, and I got 2 diamonds from 1 level and nothing else until I ran out of groceries and time. That’s not diamonds galore, that diamonds limited....Version: 1.6.5
✓ Love the game, hate my bank accountI’ve always loved Diner Dash & always will but I think the creators need to start listening to the reviewers. For every solo complaint about the cost & time spent advancing, there are plenty more dashers not speaking up because not everyone likes to take the time to write a review, or considers leaving a review to be a hassle. (Let’s be honest, clicking stars or “Not now,” is way easier.) I’m not denying that I haven’t purchased gems, but I’ve reached a point of shame realizing how much time & money I’ve spent with a lesser return from the game & its creators. & come to find out other dashers have complained about this for a while now? I feel a little foolish, for sure. But hey, if I don’t pay someone will, right Diner Dash? I’m just about done adding to this cash cow. & having to wait for my energy to be refilled only makes me search for new games to play in the meantime. There will come a day when other games will fulfill my interest for more rapid gameplay & the Diner Adventures app will be quivering with the other games of my past as I make more room on my phone. Guess it’s a good thing this app company dabbles in more than just the Diner Dash fandom, otherwise they’d do something about this. Bummer..Version: 1.3.8
✓ DisappointingThe idea is good but as you progress through the game it turns into a pay to win game. All of the upgrades need diamonds as well as cash. As the game gets harder and you need to upgrade and upgrade some more just to get one star. Annoyed that on some levels it won’t let you pass even though you get one star! It only gives you the option to pay or give up. You should be able to replay older levels to get more stars. These types of games are fun at the start but get irritating and boring. I deleted it because all you want to do is play andI’m sick of games trying to make you pay just to progress the game..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great game with upsides and downsidesOverall isn’t a good app. If you have seen these reviews they are true. This game is getting a bit annoying since I play on iPad and it constantly always freezes or kicks me off the app. This game is a good game but it gets annoying and addicting. It’s one of those apps you have to constantly spend all your money on doing now levels. It says to me sometimes “cannot reach device type”. It isn’t very good for when u really wanna play but won’t let you play. This ain’t a good app especially because it will be adddicting (mostly like all apps) 🙄 it does take up some charge but that’s mainly what happens. There is some upsides with this app however. You see I am a person who LOVES to cook 👩🍳 there is loads of new maps to unlock but costs money and diamonds and whatever. (Like all apps make you pay for) it is an awesome but sometimes bad app. Don’t mean to send hate on the developers who made this, but I suggest you look back and maybe put some better updates in there :) Overall pretty good app 🤗👩🍳👨🍳.Version: 1.14.7
✓ Okay but just a grab for moneyToo hard to progress without spending money. And I’m sick to death of the hotel levels. They drag out far too long. Such a shame a good game was ruined. Would be nice to play the old one..Version: 1.3.8
