Cats & Soup for Negative User Reviews

Boring. There’s nothing to do in this game.Like the title suggests, this game doesn’t offer much. The progress is slow because each mini establishment requires a high amount of currency. And you also need to build each one before the next one unlocks which means you could go DAYS without any progress or development in the game. Even “scouting” for little accessories from the treasure chest costs way too much which forces you to use ads if you even want to get anything at all in less than 2 weeks because it’s so difficult to get diamonds. Anyway. It’s a total scam and waste of time. The game hardly gives you any of the currencies required to make progress so they offer ads instead. You have to watch one ad per accessory for the treasure chest and if you want to double your earnings in the time that you were away, you have to watch an ad as well. Basically they’re making sure you’re poor in the game to ensure that they get monetary gain from the ads you use..Version: 1.8.5

Bit disappointedThe animation of this game is so adorable and so charming, I think at first I was really happy with how the game played out, however, as i kept playing i found myself wanting a little more. The game play is dull, there’s no side mini game to keep you entertained, all you do is collect the soups, upgrade the stations and foods, and watch the cats. The coins also take so incredibly long to collect and the game is pretty slow if you don’t watch the ads. I don’t know, i began to wonder if i’m even playing the game correctly due to how slow it was. Overall, I just kind of wished it was more entertaining considering how beautiful the art style is..Version: 1.6.4

Good game but to hard to get coins !I absolutely luv this game but i stopped playing after a while. It was near impossible to get coins and therefore i couldn’t continue playing. Every second i had to grind only for it to end in a jumble. So overall a good game but definitely has room for tons of improvement. >:(.Version: 2.1.8

Endless adsI spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game, which is a real pity because the art is simply beautiful. the sheer deluge of ads make it unplayable, huge shame.Version: 2.1.8

It’s okIt just needs something more…but not sure what. The image needs to be allowed in landscape mode, not just portrait mode. The picture needs to be clearer or sharper? The dish selling is deceiving. You think you’re getting the amount that shows under the dish on the counter. You’re not , you’re only getting a few cents for each dish. So why bother putting a dollar amount underneath it? There’s no real rhyme or reason to game, except to expand and cook etc. There’s no explanation to anything, thankfully, most of it you can figure out. You also don’t need friends, which takes away the stress of finding them and checking to see if they play anymore. Thankfully it’s a mindless game to play when you’re bored. There are no events, either, that I can see. They do have red dots showing that you’re supposed to check things out on lists in upper right hand corner, for tabs. But when you check them, they never go away. Also the ads do get annoying too, after awhile wanting you to purchase stuff. So while it’s a cute idea. The execution needs something more, unfortunately, I’m not sure what!.Version: 1.6.4

Advertising platformDon’t think that the game is something more than endless advertising watching. Total disrespect to players and usage of cute images of cats for adding more and more annoying advertising.Version: 2.1.6

Need to watch ads to progress. Don’t bother playing.Gameplay is already slow and becomes painstakingly frustrating when you need to watch ads to unlock your ‘rewards’. You can’t rely on your rewards by idling/not playing the game. It’s rather evil that you spend time unlocking different features but need to watch ads to use them. Don’t waste your time on this..Version: 2.1.8

ItCould actually be relaxing except for the constant barrage of ads and premium features.Version: 1.6.1

Locking half an event behind a paywall?I’ve loved this game for over a year now, most events apart from one I can think of have been free to play and if you’re willing to grind ads you’re able to unlock everything you want. However, the most recent event is awful. 2 thirds (probably more) is locked behind a paywall or what they call a “royal pass”. Almost the same amount as the monthly pass. Now having just adjusted the amount the even snail appears (the way you get event currency) and making the community happy, I don’t understand why you’ve removed the event snail and asked for more money. I won’t be playing this event due to not being able to progress past a certain point unless I pay up. I really hope this isn’t the way you’ll do events from now on. I also feel like it’s very unfair to the people who have purchased the infinite skip ads option that comes to around £50 after all levels have been purchased. Don’t you get enough money from players already? Seems very unnecessary..Version: 2.15.0

I was a bit disappointedI got recommended this game by a friend and it seemed good but it’s fun at first but it gets boring 🙁 so I just stopped playing 🫤will not recommend! lol.Version: 2.13.0

The art is astounding, the gameplay subparThe gameplay is not challenging. It requires a lot of mindless clicking, no ability to strategize in upgrades since the thinking is done for you with “recommended” upgrades. The assets of the game are top tier and drip with charm and appeal, but it is difficult to appreciate them with limited zoom capability. I was entertained for about an hour, but that’s when the constant “watch ad” prompts got to me. The rewards for watching the ads increase with each prompt, but after an hour it just wasn’t worth it to keep playing. Fewer prompts or a shorter ad length would help me stay immersed in the game. This game has potential, but the developers should work on making the gameplay itself a little more challenging and enticing. Take a page from Merge Dragons’ success and rely less on ads and more on in-game purchases. Trust your gaming concept a little more and lean in on dressing and customizing the cats. Anyway, I’m uninstalling but i will keep an eye out for a more engaging version of Cats&Soup because your artists and animators understood the assignment when it comes to the assets of this game..Version: 1.6.1

Cute game, but heavy on monetisationFor starters, I have spent money to unlock all the ads, and have bought additional items. First of all, spending over £50 to unlock all the ad tiers is atrocious. That’s the price of an AAA game, but you’ll end up caving sue to how incessant the ads are. You either spend most of the time looking at inappropriate ads - which would change the name from ‘Cats and Soup’ to ‘Ads and Soup’, or you fork out a small fortune to enjoy the game. Moving onto gameplay, it is by nature going to be repetitive, but my goodness… the events are ridiculously grindy. I can imagine many people would be like myself, wanting to buy everything every 20-something days it resets. Well, that involves spending hours every day picking up your phone repeatedly on what used to be every 7, then 3 minutes, again and again, to farm snails. With the recent update, this has changed to 3-2-2-3. So in a 10 minute interval, it’d involve picking up your phone 4 times to grind optimally (to get it out of the way sooner, as no one likes grinding). Sure, you could opt to ignore these events, but then you miss out on a main free source of items and ‘pets’. This game design obviously works because even if people quit after buying up the ad tiers, they’ve made their money. It’s a cute game, but I’d recommend avoiding it and using your time elsewhere..Version: 2.11.0

New ads are awfulThe new ads are horrible and won’t allow you to close the ad when they finish..Version: 1.7.8

Fun but extent of ads ruin enjoymentThis game is very cute, the art style is great, I love watching the cats make their soup - it’s overall enjoyable. However, the ads really lower the gameplay experience. I definitely don’t mind some ads in games, and it’s understandable that if it is a free game the developers need to earn money through them. But this game has a ridiculous amount of ads, all of which are 30+ seconds long AND require you to click through two additional screens that take 5-10 seconds to load once the ad is over. Because the ads are so large they often cause the game to glitch - the frame rate goes down terribly, it takes even longer to get back to the initial game, sometimes you don’t get your rewards which you sat for an entire ad to receive, and in the worst cases you have to shut down the app entirely because it stops working. I want to keep playing this game but I will probably only invest more time in it if the ads were toned down a bit (e.g. just video ads that you can close after 10-15 seconds). To the developers, please consider making this change to make the app more enjoyable for its users!.Version: 1.9.6

V cute & fun, a lil slow w glitch adsAdorable game with a variety of things to do. You can dress up cats, name them, assign them jobs, decorate their homes, go fishing and play a claw game. I do enjoy playing it, especially because right now they have a summer event where you can collect seashells to trade them in for stuff. You can build a library or herb stand, but they only work if you watch ads. Ads are not technically required to play this game, but if you don’t watch them it’s very slow moving because everything in game gets more “expensive” as you progress. If you don’t watch ads you just have to check in on the game every few hours to see how much gold they’ve collected. But for the ads themselves, they do glitch and you won’t collect anything from them sometimes. They’re rigged so it takes forever to exit out of them and they open up the App Store on you. As well as, sometimes when you agree to watch an ad, the entire game switches to my safari browser so I have to exit out of it. That seems reaaaallllyyy sketchy to me, especially because nothing pops up but an empty browser screen. But I do really like the “alternative” ads where they show you what you can purchase in-app..Version: 2.0.9

Everything costs a lotThe game is so cute and i love it so much! but im sad that everything costs a lot and its really hard to get the money. i feel like im doing something wrong so i might be wrong.Version: 2.3.1

Insane amount of appsI get that money needs to be made, but the constant barraging of ads is ridiculous. Even just trying to enjoy myself isn't on the table, because it's just requests to watch ads. Everywhere, constantly. It takes away from the game and makes it unplayable. I had a fun time for maybe 15 minutes and am uninstalling..Version: 1.8.5

Inappropriate AdsI though it would be a fun game for my daughter however the dating ads are extremely inappropriate for 12+ as the game is rated for. Sperm, hook ups, etc are not what I was bargaining for when I let her download this..Version: 1.8.6

So many adsThe game is so cute but you literally watch 50 ads a day. It’s mind numbing & the ads are tricksters too. They make you watch the ad for 30 secs then make you wait another 10 secs to even be able to close it. It literally kills your brain cells. You can choose to upgrade your skip-ad tickets with the Sloth Manager but it costs $100 (for Australians anyway). Lots of potential with this game but I feel my brain dying watching all of the ads so I have to quit it. It’s a real shame..Version: 2.1.8

Beautiful game let down by in-game rubbishThe cats are adorable, the animations are adorable and it's a fairly basic idle game to chill and relax to...or it would be. Within the tutorial part you install no less than 2 stations requestion you watch ads for bonuses, a frog appears asking you to watch an ad for bonuses, the side bar offers treasures for watching more ads or paying one of the three currencies and you already know from this that one is actual real life money. I would love to play this game one day, pay amount of money to buy the game and get to play it unhindered and uninterrupted, one currency, chill music, cute cats. I know this is sadly the norm for mobile games but this particular one made me so sad as I was looking forward to it from the art style..Version: 2.1.7

Fun gameIt’s a really cute game with really cute graphics. However, I do think the tutorial on how to play needs to be a bit longer, I spent about half an hour googling things, trying to figure out how to actually play the game and do certain things they don’t really show you how to do anything besides do the initial set up and they leave you on your own for the rest. I know that it’s a free game but to literally do almost anything on this game You have to watch a 30 second ad and after a while that just gets really annoying. But I do understand it’s a free game and they need the ads, but there’s just so many of them, like if I were to sit here and play the game for just 10 minutes straight. I would probably have to watch at least 10 ads while doing it to get anything done. Also, the cat tree house is a really cute idea but it doesn’t really serve a purpose besides just being a cute and fun thing so I don’t like that a lot of the rewards go towards something that I don’t really have an interest in I wish that there was a way to transfer the furniture coins for regular coins for the game instead because if I’m being honest, I’m never going to use the cat tower and I wouldn’t mind if they took it out of the game and added some new events or new goals instead of the cat tree..Version: 2.7.1

Great game, awful mechanicsThis game could have been amazing with that art style, but the developers decided to make yet another ad filled incremental clicker game. I’d rather pay a flat rate than ever watch another ad. However, regardless of the horrible game mechanic choices, it is well made..Version: 1.7.0

The ads don’t workSure, the ads play but you often don’t get a reward from them as they freeze. Yes, the ap is updated and yes my device is up to date, but they freeze anyway. Could have been a nice zen game, but there are things constantly flashing and wiggling to get you to watch more ads and the way it’s designed, I doubt paying would help much with that. The images are pretty though, so at least that’s worth three stars. Update: I’m done with these three part ads that have four ads on each page; after enduring all that, they don’t close when you hit “close”, so you have to close the app and don’t get the reward, but there is little you can do without watching ads. When I came to update my review, I saw there was an update, so I updated it hoping they’d fixed the problems, but the app won’t even run now. It opens, then freezes. My phone is running the most recent version of iOS. They need to test their app far better. It’s just not worth my time anymore. Final update: I tried one last time, the app finally works again after the last update, but after being away from it for a few days or so, I’ve realized just how busy this app is, everything is moving, juggling, or flashing and needing to watch ads to do most anything doesn’t help as they aren’t calm either. I’ve now deleted the app in favor of apps that are far more calm. I play to relax, not to be overstimulated..Version: 1.9.8

Too many long ads to do anythingIt’s a very cute game, but everything involves watching long ads for awful games. Everything. If they weren’t needed for as much, and/or if they were shorter ads, it wouldn’t be nearly as annoying… but my god..Version: 2.1.8

Cute idea but more of a dystopian kitty nightmare and very much not relaxingCute idea and who doesn’t like cute kitties that you can feed, name, and care for. But this was more like a kitty sweatshop with poor kitties working rapidly rain or shine, as I frantically tried to find how to get them more relaxing/sleeping time (buy it with coins that the kitties have to earn) and how to shelter them from the rain (apparently no shelter/umbrellas allowed unless you shell out cold hard cash). Adding to the stress was a general lack of written instructions, leading to a lot of “Ack! It’s raining on my kitties! How do I make it stop?” “Ack, kitties are unhappy, how do I fix it?” frantic searching through all of the options I could find with no clear one-stop answer place. I was hoping for a slow-moving, low-adrenaline, happy-kitty zen app. Currently, this is not it. Maybe they’ll be willing to add a “Zen mode” or something that has cats sleeping the day away and occasionally being enticed to make soup with feather toys or something. That would be a game I’d download. I’m deleting this game though— I just can’t handle the dystopian sweatshop abused kitties..Version: 2.2.6

Stupid bugCan’t collect rewards after watching ads.Version: 1.9.2

Long adsAds used to be 5 seconds long but since the update most ads are 45 seconds.Version: 1.7.8

Wonderful game but disappointing glitch and long adsI have been playing the game for a few days and had made great progress to around 10 cats. I really fell in love with the game over the past few days, it became a safe space for me to escape to for a few minutes every now and then. I loved the cats I had so far and had spend some money as well (not much luckily) …just for all data go randomly be deleted today and being presented with the initial starting screen when I opened the app. All restoration options failed and I’m back at square one. I can see that it happened to a few people, which is disappointing and I’m now too scared to start over and play again in case it all gets deleted once more. For a cosy game, I also found the ads to be too frequent and extremely long. It raises your anxiety instead of helping you calm down. I would love to continue playing this game but the glitches and long ads are a big turn off..Version: 2.2.0

Needs workWhile this game is really sweet and pretty relaxing, there are some issues I have gameplay-wise. Part of it is the astounding amount of grinding simply to get ONE new item that just doesn’t feel all too rewarding to me. Because of all the grinding and all the money-making it takes, this game eventually just kind of becomes exhausting to play. You’re sitting there, waiting for something to happen, all the time, waiting just for your cats to make soup of which you have to do for ages just to get enough money to get a single item. I get that this is an idle game, and it’s probably beneficial to just turn it off and do something else with your time then simply just waiting, but it caps out at some point and you’re just left there feeling like you’ve gained nothing at all. I appreciate the effort put into this game, but all the waiting and overwhelmingly expensive items that just make you spend more and more overtime, it’s just tiring. And I won’t forget the fishing mechanic. Although it’s a great idea to be able to feed your cats and gain affection from them, you have to wait ages to refill your bait. All of these things combined, I just eventually stopped playing the game. There doesn’t seem to be anything enjoyable about the excessive waiting and how slowly you make money that turns this from a rather relaxing experience of an idle game to mind numbing waiting that doesn’t feel rewarding..Version: 2.7.1

Lost catsThis is literally my favourite game. I’m addicted to it. However there has been a bug or something. Sometimes I’ll go into the app and the game has restarted. Sometimes when I go back in it goes back to normal. However this time it did not. I’m not at the very beginning but I have lost a few cats :(.Version: 1.9.5

I miss my cats :(I had spent months on this game, i loved it so much. i played it everyday for so long and then all my progress was randomly deleted and i couldn't get it back. im honestly devastated because i put so much care and effort into it and it was basically part of my life. I cant get all my cats back and my stuff back because the data restoration just again links it all back to the beginning. idk what i did wrong for this to happen since i hadn't played the game that day. it all just disappeared for no reason and im heartbroken and annoyed. Honestly just don't get attached like i did, it just makes the game horrible now. i miss all my cats so much, they reminded me of my old cats. :((.Version: 2.0.4

AdsEven if you don't watch ads, the game has partners that poke at your privacy (usually to cue up for what ads you could watch). There's a few sus ones too that the devs allow through that hard lock you into answering a question or closing out the game and hoping for a different ad. I ran a list and just opening the game I got 37 hits including several versions of unity ads (different games- not surprising) and a few "double click." Some of these are known to sell your information. Give us an option to completely remove ads (not just tickets) and protect your users privacy, and I'll definitely change to a 5 star review. This is my only complaint- but it's a pretty important one to me. I'd rather spend a one time purchase or even a monthly protecting my privacy (as in completely blocking ads and still getting the 2x benefits). Otherwise I'll have to turn off wifi each time I run this game. (Ads wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try to slip some rotten cookies my way....) Otherwise, the game is cute, seems to not drain a lot of battery, performance is nice, satisfying visuals and gameplay. And of course... lots and lots of cats..Version: 2.7.0

Art is fantastic monetization is notGame looks good, gameplay looks good One glance at the shop, it’s offerings, and what you can get for free. Instantly I don’t feel like playing anymore I get it, you need to make money, but unless you’re a full blown gacha with actual gameplay don’t expect people to drop more than 10 bucks in total. If the game were for 5-10 bucks on purchase then all the fancy unlocks were progress based I’d play this game until the end of time.Version: 1.6.4

Would be an amazing game if no adsWatch ads here, watch ads there, watch another one.Version: 2.7.1

Cute game, advert paradiseThe game itself is cute. A pretty standard clicker but done in a sweet and relaxing artistic way. My one complaint is every action is locked behind an ad in some way. The game is too slow paced if you don’t watch the ads so it feels like I’m just watching ads more time than playing the game. The game is not that fun after about 10 minutes because of the slow progress and adverts. I would like to see things amended..Version: 1.9.2

Cute game, serious monetization tunnel visionI enjoy the concept and how adorable the game and its unique art is, but there’s just way too many microtransactions and ads that’ll bombard you just playing the game within the first 5 minutes which is seriously less than ideal. I’d really prefer if I could just play the game without all of this blatant cash grabbing focus, this has no business selling itself as a gacha in reality..Version: 1.6.6

Ads ads adsThis is a really cute game and it’s enjoyable and the asmr girlies are gonna love this- but there are so many ads, they’re also long and interactive so disappointing..Version: 2.4.1

Way Too Many AdsThe art style of this game is amazing. However the beauty and fun of the game is ruined by how many ads they shove in your face. I’ve noticed similar reviews like mine complaining about how many ads there are, and yet the creators have chosen to ignore us. I’m not sure i’ll play this app for too long:(.Version: 1.8.2

Adorable but a lot of adsI love the premise of the game and the animations are really cute, the cats are calming to watch. However, in playing a ~30 minute session you have to watch at least 10 minutes watching ads which really takes away from the experience. If the ads could be toned down a bit in frequency I think it would make the game SO much more enjoyable. I really want to play more but the ads make it annoying..Version: 1.6.4

Sweet game HOWEVER!!!The game is sweet I’m up to 7cats now yay …only problem is all your really doing is watching adverts you don’t get to do much with the cats which is a shame cause that’s the whole point … and not enough is explained that why can’t I find any skins to decorate their rooms and why do we have furniture points? What did the furniture points do? There’s no explanation but we are collecting them. I’m sure I’ve got loads but they don’t really have anything so yeah the game I guess it’s new so there’s a lot of work to be done, and I hope to be sticking around to see how it grows.Version: 2.3.1

I can not get the furniture shop I do not see itLike I said above pls show me how and we’re to get it because I tried so many times but I do not see it.Version: 2.2.6

Cute game ruined by monetization modelThe game and art is absolutely excellent, however, essentially everything that you do in this game requires watching a ~30 second ad. This is in combination with the fact that in app purchases are ridiculously overpriced and not having the option to purchase said items with free or earned premium currency. It costs roughly 53$ to just receive LESS ads, not even completely remove them. Ridiculous..Version: 1.9.7

Adorable, but way too many ads, and some ads are brokenI love this game, it’s very sweet and the designs are super cute, but there are way too many ads to progress at a good rate. Additionally, some of the newer ads (where you must click every ten seconds to move through articles) tend to glitch and forcibly close the game. This makes the ads unwatchable and the rewards impossible to achieve. I hope this is fixed soon, and I hope the number of ads is reduced in general. This game does seem like it could be very relaxing, but the ads take away from that effect quite a bit. My favorite type of ads are the ‘replacement ads’ that are for the game itself and that show when you have poor internet. I’d be fine watching these ads alone, as they are simple and non-intrusive, but the other ads can get pretty repetitive and buggy at times (even if they don’t close the game, you may not get a reward after watching one). I don’t want to stop playing as a result of this, but if the ad number isn’t decreased, I may need to..Version: 1.8.2

Ad watching SimulatorThe game itself is actually amazing; lots of cute cats, amazing art style, and the progression (for the most part) is actually pretty satisfying, until you get later into the game. In order to complete certain daily challenges to progress at a non-painfully slow rate in late game, you need to watch ads. At first, I was only watching around 3 ads per day for the daily challenge, but as the game progressed, I noticed some of the ad watching was completely random chance , meaning you might only have to watch 1 ad, or it could be like 20 if you were unlucky! Also, I don’t mind watching a few ads as a main business model for an app, but half the time, you would watch an ad for it to not even count, and would have to play another one until the game decided it would actually count it! Either fix the ad watching to make it actually work, or change the business model..Version: 2.1.6

Great game until it’s time to progressBeen playing this game for a little while and thoroughly enjoy it. I have reached a peak where it takes too long to progress and there’s nothing to do but sit and watch adds. You want to level up your stations but also need coins to progress, so it’s hard. Once you build a station, it’s going to take a LONG time till you can build the next. I do see myself getting bored waiting and subsequently deleting the game. Apart from that, the visuals, sound track and the details are very impressive. Maybe some games in the meantime whilst saving coins to progress or make the difference between not so large..Version: 2.2.0

Can’t clear notifs :(If you’re the kind of person who likes to clear all their notifs this is not the game for you. Developers thought it would be fun to put a little red dot above a bunch of icons implying there is a notification, but when you click the icon there’s nothing there. Really frustrating and borderline unplayable as it bothers me beyond belief..Version: 2.2.2

Cute Game but Too Many AdsI love the design and art style but there’s so much ads that takes you away from the gameplay. I rather pay a flat rate and play the game with no ads..Version: 1.7.8

Great idle game, few flaws.This is a great idle game. I love games like this that I can set down and accumulate currency after a few hours. There are plenty of cats and customization options for them. However, there are also a few things that bother me. One of those is the progression. In the beginning, it’s not bad. You get a facility built and then the next one isn’t too far away. In the later game, it’s awful. It sometimes takes up to a week to get a new facility built. Right now, I have to get 40,000 coins before I’m able to build again. That’s a ridiculous amount of coins, and quite frankly; it’s very discouraging. I’ve found myself taking more and more breaks between playing because of this. Another issue is the ads breaking. Sometimes after you watch an ad, there won’t be a close ad button. I know they’re on timers, but I waited about a minute before closing out of the app entirely. When I logged back in. The reward was not granted. Lastly, sometimes the offline bonus doesn’t appear. If I leave the app without closing it and come back to it a few hours later, I’ll have the same amount of coins/energy as I did when I put it down. Overall, this is a good game. I enjoy a majority of it. But some things have bothered me for a bit now..Version: 2.0.0

Cool for few weeks then boringWhile this has cute cats and accessories, it gets so repetitive and tedious like a chore. Progression starts to take too long like going from currency cw to dg. Off putting and even though this game is marketed as leave on in the background, not really - it’ll only collect income for 2 hours that you’re offline and it caps. But my main issue is the progression because the currency getting higher like inflation almost doesn’t really feel fulfilling and it takes longer to get cats. I’m currently at 39 cats. This game is very similar to roblox simulators, it lacks any substance but people are drawn to how it looks..Version: 2.15.0
