Bakery Story for Negative User Reviews

✓ Forced to restart too oftenI’ve been playing this gam for yrs and I’m not sure what kind of glitch it has. I have emailed and written about this before, but I am forced to restart my phone several times a day when I go into the game because it just spins and my popularity drops while doing so. I have no choice because I’m not able to do anything because the screen is just spinning so I have to restart because nothing else works. Oh and the ads that we are now forced to watch, really! Why? The game is boring it’s the same stuff over and over new recipes and ovens and expensive wallpaper and flooring along with tables & chairs. Instead of forcing us to watch ads, add many games or something. The energy that you all tried to put in the bakery story 2 it could’ve been put in bakery story and made it better. It definitely needs more work than new recipes. Maybe an option to tip and gift all, its time consuming. How about an option other than cooking to earn some of the items that’s needed for the appliances. How about a way to earn unlimited gifts? If nothing else please look into the issue that causes me to restart. It’s not my phone, this has happened on all my devices..KceekyVersion: 1.8.4

✓ NO LONGER HAPPY WITH GAME SETUPI really loved this game when I started. It didn’t take me long to reach level 99. I’ve been playing a very long time, but in the past year, I have lost over 30 neighbors. They get fed up w/ the game and quit. I have thought of quitting, too, but I’ve invested a lot of $, time, and have made some wonderful friends on here. My 2 major complaints are: We’ll never get to build the beautiful ovens that we all looked forward to building. Instead we build ovens that require too many parts, you end up spending real $ to buy diamonds just to finish a goal. The other complaint I have is: In my opinion, the new company that bought bakery story is greedy and doesn’t care about their thousands of players all over the world. They won’t answer emails or help anyone who has a problem. And just food for thought, it would be awesome if we could get rid of the stupid ads that keep popping up @ the most inconvenient times. Other than this, I love my neighbors and enjoy interacting with them on Bakery, and love decorating my own bakery throughout the year..Yams1953!Version: 1.8.4

✓ Needs bug fixes! Now!!New goal dropped today but is so buggy that the game is unplayable. Game makes you purchase items for the goal then glitches, restarts your progress, and makes it impossible to place any new goal ovens - let alone bake anything or attend to your bakery due to the constant barrage of goal restarts! Seems to be happening to all of my neighbours/other players so no one can participate in the new events. Bugs seem to be a common occurrence to other players and to myself, and some can’t even play the game at all because of them. This game also lacks regular updates so bugs continue to affect gameplay (which kind of makes it seem like the developers don’t care…).EvilBeavil95Version: 1.9.4

✓ Crashing!For the last couple of weeks after opening the app and having tapped on the “OK”, the app just continues to be “processing” without starting. i then have to switch off my phone, leave for a minute, restart my phone and the app and it then works. this occurs at least once every day..SamuraiX12Version: 1.8.2

✓ Theres nothing free about this gameLet’s start with in order to expand your bakery you need to get your apple cash ready as is almost impossible to buy it with your bakery coins. Also, the price for the expansions increases, making it now impossible to Expand. The free coins for playing daily is a fake, I play daily and it always keeps me on day one. When you’re away and return back, it gives you the opportunity to watch a video and earn double, so I wait a couple hours to get the most coins, and it just happens that the video “failed to play” when I earned the most coins, this happens every time, how convenient! The challenges gives you unrealistic timing to complete, and have to spend tons of coins to buy useless ovens that cost a ton of parts. All challenges required you to spend tons of coins for a fraction of the return. The pop ups are ridiculous, you are baking food and “boom!” You’re in the Apple Store downloading and app you don’t want. Earning diamonds are almost impossible to obtain, you have to spend real money to get them. Hope you understand the tittle now.BexckVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Fun in the beginningFun in the beginning but then when you build all the new ovens etc. there’s hardly any options to buy stuff. More buying options should be available and stuff shouldn’t time out that’s kinda gay.SoggyfroggyVersion: 1.9.4

✓ How to stop the spamming publicity while playing?It’s a lot of spamming publicity while playing to be honest. Is there any ways of stopping the publicity or at least less frequent?.GenevievrreVersion: 1.9.4

✓ FacebookWhy bother offering to connect to Facebook if you’re not gonna let us do it? There’s like two or three parts of your apps where it offers to connect to Facebook but then when I click on the Facebook icon, it brings me to a Facebook page and says that there is an error, please fix it..HpblairVersion: 1.9.4

✓ I used to love itThis game was fun and relaxing at the same time. The goals and the time to complete them were good. Now, they give you half the time and ask for many more parts to build appliances on the first goal. The second goal is impossible achieve with neighbors gifts alone. They offer a $4.99 purchase to help with parts, but that has also changed, now the reduced the number of parts you get. I loved it when some of the short term goals were to buy the tables, chairs, counters, and other attainable items. Big problem is that not all the neighbors respond to your requests. Some of the players just download the game to receive the gems that are offered in other games, and they never play again. Another problem is that you can only receive 20 gifts a day, while you might have hundred plus to visit and to give gifts. I know the primary objective of these games is for the owners of the company to make money, but it’s just too much..Schoolady2000Version: 1.9.4

✓ Don’t play this gameI have been playing this game for many many years. I understand that every game is made with intention to make money. However, out of all the games I have played, this one is by far the worst and tries to trick people into buying gems for the game. Every single time you open up the game and starts to play, a purchase screen would pop out while you are playing and I cannot count how many times I have accidentally tapped on the button to purchase! Not to mention all the other places that they hide the purchase button. It’s simply unavoidable and makes playing unenjoyable! Furthermore, the game itself has remained the same and did not improve over the years. All that I have tolerated for years but what made me eventually give up the game is their game support. It’s hard to find support page or even try to contact support. If you manage to find out how to contact support, they simply come back with machine response and close the ticket! I once lodged a request and within literally 2 seconds of submitting the request I received an email denying my request! I doubt any human is that quick at reading a request and then responding. This company simply does not care about game players and have no intention of improving the game whatsoever..Latte8Version: 1.8.1

✓ Don’t buy gemsAfter I bought gems, the game took away the feature to watch videos for gems. Very greedy!.Illiaz19Version: 1.9.4

✓ IssuesGreat game but it’s annoying whenever I load the app there’s a stupid amount of pops ups I have to cross off in order to play. Also for 2 days now, I have tried to watch videos to fast track cooking but the videos don’t load and in order to finish some of the tasks, I need to cook things that take over 12hours to complete..Codos 23Version: 1.8.1

✓ Cute game, relentless adsNice little game, abit dated but cute visuals. You want to play it more but the constant pop-ups and adverts become exhausting, and to be honest have ruined the game for me now. It’s got to the point where I’ve deleted the game because I’m sick of the adverts that you have to click through Every. Single. Time you open the app. I’m done 😩.JgyfchhbVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Used to be funUsed to be fun before they had all those pop ups for trying new games. Can’t even do anything in the game when you first open it cause you get like 5 pop ups. I deleted the app..Sarah6159Version: 1.9.4

✓ Rip off - game broken and the dont support users for this game anymore!It’s fun but you can’t get past a goal as they have removed items you need to purchase. Meaning you can’t get past a certain point in the game. I contacted them and the ticket I raised was automatically closed saying check the forums The forums confirm this has been an issues since March. Email doesn’t work. Twitter not replied to. Yet the still accept in app purchases for a broken product!.Deemerc36Version: 1.9.1

✓ Annoying adsIn its latest incarnation is the game full of annoying ads for other games. You have to dismiss several windows (on some of them you have to actually wait for the X to appear) before you are allowed to play. Plus I was constantly buggered by pop up window begging for rating. Ok, as you wish. Here you go. Happy now?.AraonVersion: 1.4

✓ Average...Great game, but it REALLY needs to have less pop ups, but I like that u can get rid of the big sign outside the bakery :) . But I opened the app and the whole thing froze - wazzup with that?! I would say more but I can't log on right now :(.The Bacon-PeoplesVersion: 1.4

✓ No longer so much fun!I have been playing this game for many years. It used to be fun, and I made many friends in the game. There used to be enough time to complete the goals. Now, however, we are given multiple conflicting goal to complete before we get the prizes. Although the creativity of the recipes is great, it is outweighed by the sheer numbers of items needed to bake, and the long hours required to bake them. I stick around because I enjoy talking to my friends, not because I care about meeting the goals. To be sure, the goals can be met by spending lots of money, but it’s sad that it’s no longer enjoyable. I did try, once, to see if I could complete the goals, but after doing so, it wasn’t worth the money I spent. From all the comments, it seems that I’m not alone in how I feel about it now. I wish the developers would listen more to the players and make it fun again. I compare what’s going on in my other game to what is happening here, and there really is no comparison. The developers in the other game take their players seriously and listen to them. In this game, they don’t listen at all!.Geckogirl520Version: 1.9.4

✓ Search bar for sending gifts?Love the game but scrolling through every possible gift to send with no way to quickly find something really annoys me and wastes a lot of time. I think there should be a way to sort gifts by type of item or theme or there should at least be a search bar to quickly find specific things..LinkcascadeVersion: 1.9.4

✓ DisappointedI've played this game for 2 years and I thought of how fun to decorate and bake on days I needed to past time. Since the letting go of your many employees, I'm disappointed that the 'Wednesday Updates' every week no longer exist. I thought the idea behind firing people is to better your games? At least its what I read. I didn't mind so much on expensive crates and decors to purchase but that you got greedy by taking away free diamonds. I have purchased a lot on this game and now as one of your loyal customers I feel that you don't really care about the service you provide. I stop purchasing due to this and the fact that you recycled the same oven and food to bake from your Restaurant Story. Really?! You didn't think we'd notice?? I didn't realized how unimaginative the Storm 8 team had become. I have stopped playing consistently and probably won't be playing as much or any until the game has improve to each original thoughtful and creative teams that made me excited from the beginning. 😐👉🤦‍♀️ Sincerely, Dissapointed..NormsMitchVersion: 1.7.8

✓ Great game, butI’ve been playing this game for years. I’ve always loved how slow paced it was. And with achieving goals you get rewarded significantly. There are changes that I am not happy about and it will eventually cause me to stop playing altogether. When trying to achieve goals we would normally get 30 days now you get 14, at best. You barely get a reward when finishing the goal. For the appliances you have soooo many parts to make them so it’s almost impossible to build more. Bc you don’t always get those parts from your neighbors. The ads are out of this world! They pop up so much I can’t steal away from my mom life to play bc I spend a lot of time watching ads. If I do not get to complete a goal that opens up more dishes, it doesn’t seem like we get another chance to complete that goal again. It’s frustrating bc these changes make it very hard to play. Also it takes away the fun and ease of playing. Why all these extra changes??? Please change it back or be prepared to lose more players.Nene864Version: 1.9.1

✓ TrashClosed an ad forcefully and came back to the game where all my dishes got Deleted. F this game and their money hungry ads! BYE.Delicate angelVersion: 1.9.4

✓ New challenges hard to achieveI have been playing this game for 9 years and do still really like it. However as a working mom, I find the challenges too hard. unless you are able to access the game throughout the day time, it is impossible to obtain all the dishes for the oven and I hate that. Please give us an option that we can BUY the dishes with the ridiculous amount of coins I now have within the game. Thanks..JacquifiorlettaVersion: 1.9.1

✓ PLEASE sue the game makers if this is happening to you!I never write reviews but my account was permanently banned when I contacted customer support. I complained that I was watching ads to receive x2 coins and was never receiving them. I explained that this is fraud, and highly illegal as they are cheating players like us to receive money off of watching useless ads. They responded back a couple days later asking for a screen recording but unfortunately there is no way I could have documented that in the past. Just to give them what they want I attached a video (which unfortunately did give me the x2 coins). Moments later I got an email back from them issuing a permanent ban on my account. Somewhere along the lines it said I was “harassing, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy, and hateful”. Overall they threw a bunch of violations at me which made no sense because they still did not acknowledge the situation at hand and banned me so I can’t prove them anymore. If this is happening to you as well, make sure you speak up. Game makers like this should be sued. Instead of providing support and care like any other customer care team, they refuse to acknowledge fault and will BAN you if you speak out..Dpp98Version: 1.9.4

✓ Well...It’s very strange but it’s been freezing every time I open it up, I have the latest device and version. I don’t understand why this is happening and was wondering if this bug could be fixed. My friend had the same issue and threw her phone she broke it. I understand that’s her fault but the point is this bug should be fixed..Lara GreenVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Used to love this gameUsed to love this game but now it keeps going out of the app at random times. I hate how you have to ask friends for the tools. It should just be the money without the tools section. We should be able to create our own characters and we should be able to change our name for free without having to give up 10 gems for my name to be spelt wrong. Again I used to love this game!!.Sexybabee65Version: 1.8.4

✓ Fix thisThe new "bonus gems" section is ridiculous. 90 percent of them do not give you the gems even when you follow exactly what it says, I have emailed support and replied to the automated response with required evidence, and received no reply. Half of them when you click on them redirect you to other things, e.g after filling first page of details to win a new world voucher I was taken to "Win iPhone 7 competition" when I submitted. It is quite infuriating. Not to mention that almost all of the offers that require credit card info for free trials are deliberately deceiving, and I can see many older people/children/not so tech savvy people being tricked out of their money, and signing up for subscriptions they do not want. You need to fix this, screen the offers you are allowing, make sure that they actually WORK. This feature greatly brings down the quality of the app..Wave627Version: 1.8.1

✓ Full of ads and super outdated.I used to play this a long long time ago but now it’s just rampant with ads, video ads that suddenly pop up and you have to sit through for 30 seconds and a tiny exit button at the end so you almost always get sent to the App Store. It’s also still in 2013 basically. The keyboard was never updated for later phone versions so it’s tiny, there’s zero accessibility options for anything. It takes forever to load neighbor lists, walls, community. It’s clear the developers just forgot about this app, and it’s just so tedious to play with slow loading on everything and all the unwanted ads. The only thing they seemed to change were the goals, and they’ve intentionally made it harder so you have to spend actually money to get by. Instead of 12 & 12 parts for a new oven it’s now 28 & 12 or whatever the numbers. I have seen countless neighbor and community messages complaining. The developers just don’t care about this app, and it’s so sad to see something I grew up with die like this..•SweetKitty•Version: 1.9.4

✓ Greyed out recipes!I paid gems or coins for new appliances and some of the recipes are not available .. I paid for ALL the recipes. Just because I didn’t play 10 years ago shouldn’t mean I can’t make all the items. It wouldn’t matter in the slightest if the game masters made those available. Not a happy baker 😡 The algorithm for getting collectables to build goal appliances has been changed since new company bought it. You can’t complete goals without buying gems. Game is no fun anymore. I’ve bought gems plenty by choice .. I’ll be dam*ned if buy for PTW. Uninstalling game is easy..Gorns GrubVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Lazy updates, no service, tons of adsI’ve been playing this game off and on for at least 5 years. I stopped for a while but started again 6 months ago (pandemic boredom). I was dismayed to see the game had barely changed, still very cumbersome to find any decor in the different item tabs/interface, still buggy and tedious to select friends when sending gifts or requesting help, still very little support presence. It seems like this is an old game that storm8 just doesn’t care much about so anything wrong with it they’re never gonna improve. But THE LAST STRAW was that after recently completing a game update there are now 3-4 kinds of pop-up ads, ads that you have to interact with to get them to go away, ads that are timed so you can’t just close them, ads that it’s hard to even find the X to close them, full-screen ads. It’s obnoxious and makes the game unplayable. Tbh even if this game were better (meaning decent updates, less recycling of old content, bug fixes, support) it wouldn’t be worth playing because of the friggin’ endless ads..HorribleSpiderVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Farm storyBring back Farm Story it was the best app ever..Mich2234Version: 1.9.4

✓ Makes you download other gamesThe games good but for tasks to complete they want you to download and play other games they have created. For example I have 4 tasks currently and 2/4 are to download and play 2 other games until I reach a certain level. I did this with 2 games and then my next 2 tasks were to keeping playing those games until I got even further. Waste of time and storage, need better tasks that don’t involve downloading other games 😠.Chenae26Version: 1.9.3

✓ They’ve ruined it.I used to love this game back in 2013–15, but I restarted it on my new iPad recently and it’s not the same anymore. After a certain point, it becomes almost impossible to expand and improve your bakery without spending lots of real money, so all you can really do is move things around, give tips to other bakeries, and watch the little people eating their food and walking out. It’s boring. Without spending real money, it would take me years to save up enough coins to expand my bakery slightly. It was a great game, but now it’s just a waste of time, money and storage space..Lauren 5mithVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Too many popupsJus wanna make brownies but game won’t let me 😒.AnieisawesomeVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Crashing and too long tasks too many orders for requestsI hope you’re doing good but I need to say that I’ve been playing this game since 2010 it has been good but recently the tasks are lengthy too many requests to build and your app has slowed in many countries collecting diamonds has become difficult since the videos don’t load also the gifts button you need to put options there or cross X so that it can be deleted I don’t know how you can help.LamarifVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Needs ImprovementThis game is so nostalgic for me, I used to spend lots of time playing this game to escape the stress of my life and it hold a special place in my heart. That being said, I can’t even play the game because it crashes every 2-3 minutes and this is a serious problem. The crashing bug needs fixed FIRST, and secondly there need to be renewed old events to unlock recipes/etc. Those are my main concerns, but there are also bugs with getting gems and shortened event times which make it hard to obtain the prizes and goals we want. This game is so fun when it’s working properly and I hope a developer will take the time to read this and fix the game. Don’t lose your long time players of years and years just to try and “keep up” with new games. There’s a reason people keep playing this game after all these years and if you change the fundamentals of that, it’s not the game we know and love anymore. Sincerely, Bittersweet Fan.ArisoL MakarAVersion: 1.8.3

✓ Disappointed:(Great app and was really enjoying playing it, however had to knock 2 stars off due to glitches on the app. one of my goals is to buy 6 sweet co tables however when i go in to buy them it says i need to unlock it via a quest when i’ve already done that. also i am now unable to watch any videos for gems when i previously could watch up to 10 a day, this is since i paid for some gems. i contacted customer services about this and they said everything was working as it should be, which evidently it’s not. :( ~ kitkat2928.KatierbrickVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Eh it’s alrightI love the game however, they took away the free gems by watching a video making it very hard to gain more gems which you have to pay for😕.Yolo (you only live once )Version: 1.8.2

✓ Almost unplayableRiddled with ads everywhere. Most of the time the ads glitch the game and make it unplayable..Plopingduck18Version: 1.9.4

✓ Not as good as it used to beI have been playing this games for years now. At one time you used to have longer to complete challenges but now they are every 14 days which if you work full time make them hard to complete. The biggest issue I have though is with all the adverts that pop up and then freeze the game so you have to reload it every time more or less and when your busy this isn’t great and really spoils it. Also the suitability of the adverts I have complained about numerous times but to no avail, I do not want to see people drowning or being killed at breakfast even in cartoon form plus my friends children used to help play it but got very upset and distressed by an advert that we at the beginning hadn’t realised they were showing so now they can’t play. I have also had problems with challenges finishing early and cooking challenges not giving you the right amount of food cooked so you lose them. I gave up keep messaging re all the problems. I still play when I can but the enjoyment has gone to a degree.Den45246Version: 1.9.2

✓ Don’t bother. Too many adsThis game was fun years ago but it’s garbage now. I used to play it with my daughter when she was in primary school. She’s an adult now and we thought we’d play again after many years for fun. We downloaded the game and managed to remember our Storm8 IDs and passwords only to be bombarded with numerous ads one after another. There never used to be so many. This does not encourage anyone to purchase gems or download their other games. It only inspires one to uninstall Bakery Story. Doesn’t seem to be as many active users either. It’s sad. Like an abandoned shopping centre that used to be busy and full of life but is now run down with tumbleweeds blowing through..Lacklustre FilmsVersion: 1.9.4

✓ It took my ‘money’I enjoy this game thoroughly but I JUST bought some new tables (1000 each) and then the game glitched and they disappeared. The money was not returned to me but the tanks were still missing. -4000 ‘dollars’. Super bummer because I enjoy the game but this just mans me not want to play :(.HunnacinnabunVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Good gameI have loved this game for years but had to re load when I purchased my new I pad. I don’t mind starting from the beginning again but I am loosing interest fast because a lot of the ovens you need for tasks are not there eg Sugar coating oven what is the point of the tasks coming up if you can’t complete them. Please sort this out otherwise I will remove the game as there will be no point in playing it..Tip TreeVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Storm8 Lazily Drops the BallAfter losing in game currency and items to a BUG in THEIR app, I reached out to customer support via email. You know, the OPTION they give you. I’m immediately met with an automated email response, they do not accept email requests anymore. You have to fill out a form. Okay? Would’ve been nice to have known that. So I fill out the form, missing items and currency due to a bug. Another automated email response: they cannot retrieve any lost currency in game. So you’re telling me... you, the developers who oversee bugs, glitches, etc... cannot recover currency but also won’t even allow my request to go through because it is labeled currency... you also allow us the option to send for missing currency but reject it with an automated email claiming inability... Y’all I’ve lost in game currency in other games, items, etc. Devs and customer support were more than happy to give an apology package and promise they were working on the glitch. Storm8 just stops you before you even get to the door. If you’re thinking about spending money on this game, forget it. If their own BUG causes you to lose something you paid for, they’ll make no attempts to satisfy the customer to get their items/currency back..Chocolate leopardsVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Took game moneyLove this game have since I was younger. But I realised that my money decreases by 10k every so often. Today, I was going to expand my bakery for 200k coins (I had 200,200) and then after it said processing it said I was short of coins and when I looked my money had decreased to 190k. It gave me an option to buy more money which I think is ridiculous as I had saved up for nothing. Fuming.RffkkVersion: 1.8.3

✓ Declining gifts don’t matterPeople playing this game need to be more considerate. If there’s a goal going on, most people want goal parts NOT cappuccino. It’s annoying seeing people say they only gift cappuccino and if we don’t want it to max out gifts then delete it. What people either don’t get or don’t care is that the system only registers daily amount of gifts you RECEIVED NOT ACCEPTED. So even if you decline the gift, it still counted towards gifts you received. I’ve proved this to be true with my own bakery and people I know that play it. Most of the food/drink gifters do it right away at reset which screws a lot of people over from getting goal parts. This sets people back in building machines because it now takes more parts to build and instead of people purchasing gems and 10 of each part (which is nothing to the 40 you need of one piece alone for one machine) they just leave from frustration. What is even more irritating is how some of these people say to gift them goal parts when they “mass gift” food/drink or basic parts because it’s convenient for them or one of their neighbors requested it so everyone else gets it too. I always take the time to see if a neighbor is doing the goal when leaving tips or read their wall to find out, I won’t ask. Because of how long it takes to get parts, the most people that accepts neighbors to help with your bakery rating when tipping are the ones gifting drinks/food and I see why..Brokenglass1391Version: 1.9.4

✓ OkayToo many adds, often the add crashes the game. There was a glitch and I lost the “money” in the game. Made a complaint and haven’t heard anything since. The adds are inappropriate for kids who sometimes play. Disgusting really. The same is set up where you have to spend off your credit card just to succeed in the game. The game progresses too slowly, it’s not very enjoyable the further you get into the game. Takes forever to do any real decorating or expansion. Unrealistic goals. Too many pop ups. Shame because it could be a much more enjoyable game..ShelydsVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Major bugPlease fix the bug that’s causing pretty much all my recipes to disappear upon serving them. they dont combine they simply vanish and this has been happening for some time now, i cant make money efficiently to expand etc and other players have had the same issue, its frustrating annoying and irritating..Reecey90Version: 1.9.4

✓ Striving for the perfect lookWhile I love these games on Storm 8 and I’m addicted! It’s annoyingly slow at times because of the prices of the chairs/tables and decorations. I want so much to be able to buy gems but simply cannot afford to do so all the time. I’ve tried downloading other games it recommends to get rewards but then come stuck when I can’t move up to the levels in the other games without spending money to buy gems, so it’s a catch 22 situation here! Also, there should not be a limit to how many videos you watch to win gems, albeit it’s only one gem, but that’s better than nothing..LifeinacartoonVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Not that bad I guess ..It’s actually pretty good. Only problem is, when I deleted and confirmed it it said that all my progress and data will be saved, but when I recently downloaded it again it was all lost. I love how you can give tips but I don’t really like how you need 10 of 4 things to make for example an ice cream machine. For me my biggest issue is random adds pop up, and somehow I randomly lost 30 gems that I worked really hard to get. I really like how you can creatively decorate your place, and I love completing the challenges as it is a good way to earn money. If you have an eye for creativity then download it!.I wright lots of reviewsVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Ok but ummmmm.......I didn’t know it took 17 hours to make a hot chocolate. And I didn’t know it took 1 minute to make brownies and I didn’t know that when you went to bakeries you only had to pay $1-$4 for a coffee and all the rest of it. Look I’ve got nothing against this game except that to complete challenges you have to use coins and gems. Can we get free gems by any chance? And free coins? Like I know those things when you first log into the game at the start of the day and u get a certain amount of coins but we get no coins really. Also, all the tables and chairs are like $ 30,000 each. I definitely didn’t pay that much for my tables and chairs at home. Oh, and one thing that TOTALLLLY confuses me is when you go to design and u press on the expand ur plot thingy and it says u need 7 neighbours to do it so u go get new neighbours and then when u get 7, it says u need 10 neighbours. I don’t know what the deal of that is, but I’m on a challenge thing right now that involves expanding the bakery and I don’t have $200,000 and I don’t have any gems and I just think it’s stupid how it said 7 neighbours then just literally changed so randomly to 10. Overall, this game is fun and awesome but read above to get that all in your heads please. Thank you.EM💖💖Version: 1.8.2

✓ AddsI have played bakery story for more than 5 years now and love it but have dropped my star rating as last few days every time I open it I have to watch a 30 second add this has totally ruined the game for me . Why after all these years ?.NanasbistoVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Fun at first but costs a lot for gemsIt's fun at first but the gems are very expensive and having and spending gems is the in part for it. It's also easy to accidentally spend gems on things u don't want to spend them on which is annoying, and there's heaps of annoying pop ups.Hanna Banana SpannaVersion: 1.4

✓ Good But…I enjoyed this game when I got it I still do but I think that when you are trying to make different foods they might take up to 1 day! When I least today all my food that was cooking got ate by bugs! So disappointing. I suggest that when you are playing you can serve the food to the costumers and turn on and off a setting so you can serve the costumers. I’m on level 12 I think and I have to get to level 14 to get more things to cook with! I don’t know how to level up! Overall it’s a pretty good game just needs a few edits!.Koo 11Version: 1.9.4

✓ GemsI really enjoy the game although once it updated to have free 10 gems per day from watching videos, That was the only thing making me keep the game, Please bring back the free 10 gems per day as it is both unrealistic/crazy to expect everyone to pay for the gems with no alternate way. Ledderloan to pay for gems to get coins. As every other realistic creator of the millions of other apps have that option. If your worried about making money them either include a download fee or make customers pay for EXCESSIVE amounts of gems not a minor proportion. Or update the app that way you’ll see a greater number of downloads and realistic/decent reviews. It only make me more tempted to delete the app and all other apps by this creator. Please bring back the 10 free gems per day, I think majority of downloaders would agree you can’t expect someone to keep forking it their personal bank savings for gems as they have both common sense and a right state of mind..Jack9977953Version: 1.8.2

✓ Abandoned and adsThis game is abandoned as it has been for almost a decade. there are no real programming improvements made for the users-the interface is the same ancient one it was back in 2012. the only improvement i have seen, done for players, is when they allowed single taps after a double for things such as collecting so-called 'tips' and the serving from appliances. If you have an issue your support ticket is auto-responded as "closed" because the game is not staffed. what a joke. And don't forget the down right wicked and sadistic nature of the developers with how they slam ads in your face and do things in ways that cause accidents to be done, from tapping an ad that slapped on the screen right before you meant to tap something else, to wasting gems/coins buying something the same way. This has gone on for almost decade and no fix, it is how they are. evil maniacal and intentionally so. there needs to be simple to program things that actually help players-things like a select all button to yes, come back. why you take it away? Search function for the insane-and-growing lunacy of parts? heck, at least have the food tabs here like in restaurant and working correctly-unlike like the breakfast one there. how about not auto-unselecting selected neighbors in the first few seconds of selecting? Remember, storm8/team lava-money gained dishonestly will dwindle away and when you wonder why you now know. Also, wealth won't deliver a single soul..MnKK1Version: 1.9.1

✓ Update has been long overdue..I finally came back to the app just a few days ago and it’s been kicking me out, or just freezing at the “Processing” page. It was stuck like that for over *30 MINUTES* I waited that long and for what? To just restart the app and it doesn’t even load in?? It kept telling me that I needed wifi to play/try again later..blind you I have 2 Wi-Fis in my house and they’re both over 5gb. It’s not my wifi. If I was able to play this game at my school (no wifi and only data), it is DEFINITELY NOT my wifi acting up. I forget how old this game is but if you’re going to keep it out, keep up with it. How hard is that?? If you ask me, the developers became lazy. Do you guys even keep up with the 2nd baker story?? I never played it because I like my classic bakery story, but seriously did you guys just give up on it?? I used to love this game and now we have ads, app freezes. Please for the love of puppies please update the game.. you guys are going to start losing your og players and then overall lose money from the game, please get back to managing your game and being in top of it.. I miss having fun on it but this- this is aggravating and just pitiful.. can’t even get on without it crashing or getting hit with ads.. you know a game lost their way when they have ads now.. please get the passion back to manage your game again...Jewel_lalaVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Boring and MonotonousI have been playing this game for about 6 years. The first 3 years were great, but the last few years the game is boring. The fortnightly and weekly challenges are monotonous, it’s the same thing over and over again. The programmers have gotten lazy. I loved Cafe World by Zynga and this is a very poor substitute. I’m still looking for a game that is as good as Cafe World. I’m only staying for the friends that I have made over the years but even they aren’t going to keep me playing this game. A game is supposed to be fun but this one isn’t once you reach the op level of 99 and expanded your bakery to the largest it can go. Also redecorating is a nightmare. Most times once you’ve placed an item it goes back to the beginning and you have to scroll through all the pages over and over to find the same table, chair or decoration, or just to get bs into where you were to get the next item. This latest update is ridiculous that has made everything huge on the page and that in the middle of loading stoves it goes to an ad which you have to watch all the way through because there is no way to turn it off. Fix it and get more exciting challenges or I’m gone. At the moment I don’t recommend this game..PixiePetaVersion: 1.9.0

✓ WHY??Now that prices have doubled on everything it's ridiculous😥things are going to take so long to buy and to be able to expand would take even longer 6,000,000 to expand for only the third time?? C'mon!! It'll getting boring playing coz we won't be able to spend money will be to busy trying to save it to expand so we can buy stuff to put in our bakery's! Please team lava change it back to what the prices were😒.LAYSAVSVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Crashes constantlyIm using an iPod touch 4. Ok the ads always appear and I keep clicking on them mostly the ones when u open ur gifts. Get rid of the ads please!! And crashes everytime when I serve of prepare something help me plz 👎👎I know u can fix this teamlava 😓😓😓😔😞😥😥😰I Loved dis game before when it was crash free and ad free So I can't delete it coz I dnt wanna. Disappointed teamlava.AlyshaRocks555Version: 1.4

✓ Too many adsI played for years then deleted the game because the sheer volume of ads made it unbearable and what was supposed to be a fun use of my spare time to relax became irritating and frustrating. I was always happy with the ads for gems/speed up cooking, but the constant ads popping up is just unbearable, especially when I have opened the game because of a notification to serve food before it spoils and then it spoils because I am being forced to watch an ad. The amount of time given to complete a challenge also seems to have decreased or the amount you need to do to complete it has increased and become very difficult which makes things less fun. Used to be a much better game, now debating if I should get rid for good..SnowFairy08Version: 1.9.4

✓ Peppermint PattyLoved this game. Met heaps of people over the years. Dislike the continual pop ups so have taken long breaks. Game needs some new changes to maintain interest please. Also use some of the old gifts. Long term players have heaps and it would be good to get rid of some..Purple TriciaVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Fun but lots of bugsIt is fun but it have a lot of bugs that makes me dont want to play it anymore. For example, I just served 2 dishes when I go back to the game in 2 seconds cause it freezed it was gone and I have to make it again..1(4$!;!Version: 1.9.2

✓ CorruptedI’ve been playing this game since I was a kid and coming back to it…let’s just say I’m disappointed. At first, I expected maybe a visual update, more recipes, etc… but I think the only new thing about it is all the unwanted advertisements!! Wow is it hard to find a game that won’t spam ads in your face constantly. Along with other reviewers, I received non stop ads just trying to load the game in, to which sometimes it’s just impossible to escape them, evidently showing how much they would rather you play the other games they have developed. It’s even constantly glitchy. I never buy gems but now that I’m older I could spare a few for some gems, I wanted to spend on decor. I tried to buy a neon heart sign, to which the game ate my gems and the sign doesn’t even show anywhere. I remember getting gems as a kid was such a pain, and now that I am able to buy them, they can just disappear? It’s not easy to get gems and they are still pricey. With the option to get free gems through ads, you’d think they’d leave it at that but no, you still get unwanted ads constantly just to get nothing in return. It’s disappointing that something that had been loved by many just seems like a cash grab now..Luzrus75Version: 1.9.4

✓ ImprovementsI've been playing this game for years & it's becoming less enjoyable. The tasks are too short & can't be completed without having to buy gems! Not everyone can afford this, what happened to the challenges being 30days I think it would be good to bring this back! & the gem dispensers I want one but I can't get one because I have an iPhone! You need to bring back the gem dispenser to iPhone players. I've sorta given up on this game due to these reasons & I think a lot of others have to..GaabdoggVersion: 1.7.8

✓ Cute butIt is such a comforting game but has some serious glitches. It will always stop playing BGM if I play more than 5 minutes. And recently I completed a quest and the pop up boxes don’t stop popping up. Every 5 seconds the same messages popped up even though I hit “ok”. I had no choice but to delete the app because it was impossible to play.SlyvosVersion: 1.9.4

✓ ChallengesI am finding out to finish the last challenge that there is not enough time for the last one . You need to use your gems. 10hr quests and have to get 40 of that item.do the calculation. This is not fair at all and I am not buying gems each time for every challenge ..DouglasmackieVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Good gameI used to play this game a lot as a kid I still do but I’m only giving it a 3 star because of the time it takes 2 days to make a pumpkin pie witch I hate I think they should change it and make it go for less than 3 hours for bigger things they could really improve the game with the time but other than that it’s a really good game.GebdbdkdVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Really fun, but...I absolutely love this game soo much, but when I go on it sometimes it says I have no wifi connection at all! After I check just to be sure my wifi is working, it says I have full wifi, I go onto other wifi apps and they work perfectly! I then go back to this app and it says there is no wifi! I love this game (as I said before) but I can't keep on playing if this keeps on happing!.Emily JBVersion: 1.6.8

✓ Not The Same Game I Started WithI’ve been playing this game for years and overall, it’s not a bad game. I’ve always liked how slow-paced the game was, and they used to add new content almost every week. But, I guess with new management, it has gone through some changes that I don’t particularly like. For example, they shortened the goals from 30 to 15 days, which really wasn’t too bad until they later increased the need to have more parts to build appliances than you receive in gifts and requests from neighbors. I hate the change they made in the Bonus gems where they have these offers to sign up for stuff to get gems, instead of just viewing ads or trying games. Don’t know if that was an Apple thing or what but I don’t like it. Also, they don’t seem to care about fixing the “Processing ...” bug when the game will just get stuck “Processing..” and hang there until you force-close the game. This happens most when you return to the game that has been “minimized” and running in the background. Now, with this recent update, they force you to watch an ad when you try to serve your food. It hits you the moment you open the game and begin to play. That I do NOT like one bit and will try to reinstall an older version of the game. So, a decent 4-⭐️star game is now to 2-⭐️ game, thanks to indifference and maybe greed. I don’t know but I wish they had the old Teamlava crew, instead of this Storm8/Zynga(??) bunch..ST4CoolGamesVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Many locked oven and recipes that discourages new playersFor some reasons they made the previous released ovens unavailable to new players. Perhaps those are the expired goals that are no longer available. However, You can still send those ovens parts that are useless to new players as gifts so I don’t understand the point of this, it strongly discourages new players to play and it’s pretty annoying, especially those locked ovens and recipes are much more beautiful than the ones that released in the last few months. They could simply periodically make those ovens temporarily available in a limited time to give a chance to new players to own them but I don’t think they will ever do this, quite a disappointment. Also, please add word search when sending gifts, it sucks when you have to scroll all the way to the right to skip those useless oven parts if you want to send foods or basic parts as gift..Aidennwu12Version: 1.9.4

✓ Too much adVery entertaining game but the property brothers ad is just too much. And all the other ads are too much..KeithnkaiaVVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Been playing on and off for years, butSo I’ve been playing this since I got an ipod touch many years ago. It’s the most satisfying and playable of all the bakery apps by far. However, it desperately needs modernising and little quality fixes. For example, filters or a search function when scrolling through gifts or the shop so you don’t have to scroll through 100s of pointless items. A select all button for interacting with neighbours. A quick add button instead of finding their ID. And a way to see your stored items instead of scrolling through the shop..HahdjakamdnajVersion: 1.9.2

✓ 💖Love this game there’s just a few things that should be fixed like being able to get more stoves & other machines before you level up… & gems, need more ways to get gems because it’s difficult & I can’t do bonus gem things because then I have to purchase something on the app and I find you don’t get enough gems when you purchase them from the game anyway so would be better if there was more bang for your buck.BUY FUNRITUREVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Good until badIt was a great game apart of my childhood but they flooded it with ads those greedy basterds.Remove the adds plzzzzzVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Addictive but GlitchyI’m one of those on again-off again players. Recently switched to iOS and decided to give this game another go after some years off. Still has that lovely addictive and calming effect. Issue is that the very reason I stopped playing is STILL AN ISSUE after YEARS. So like, a few minutes ago this little quest thingy pops up and says something along the lines of it being April but did I do some April fools something and takes me to the buy 18 tiles with like two other parts to this quest. Cool—no biggie. I’ll just buy some of those cute swirly paint looking tiles. Buy quite a few of them and then “processing” pops up with the little spinny-thingie. Hmmmmm... what do you know that the tiles I bought aren’t even available until level 12! Fine, I’ll accept that. But then it removes the tiles as if never bought BUT the coins used to buy them at 800 each is never returned. Love that you can earn diamonds watching vids but those glitches remind me to never EVER spend real world money for in-game purchases..Taffy27Version: 1.8.2

✓ Too challenging for a game like thisThe game is really nice and cute but they have to make it extremely hard to finish the goals by increasing the amount of materials needed to build just one oven. Overall, they just want you to spend more gems. I lost quite few neighbours cus they can’t play this game with these ridiculous requirements.Jenny_DoVersion: 1.9.4

✓ ExploitativeThis game preys on the innocence of young children. In the game you are set ‘challenges’ whereby if you download and play other games made by the brand then you win gems. However upon downloading and opening these other games the ‘challenges’ disappear and are replaced with new ones. Children are never rewarded with gems and it’s just a cheap method used by the game’s creators to exploit young children into downloading their games so they can reap revenue from advertisements. Corrupt..DAwhizZVersion: 1.8.3

✓ Adds…Love this game but so sick of constant adds popping up! Miss when it first came out, didn’t have any of that.Sarahherm97Version: 1.9.4

✓ Stop the videos!I have been a fan of this app for a few years now. I have always loved it. It took me a bit to figure out how to time everything to finish the goal but somehow I have learned to master it, most of time. This past year I started counting how many pop up screens would show up when first accessing the app. The most has been 7 before you can even start playing! I think that’s a bit much. But while you start playing, some more promoting the game of the week pops up and if you are in the middle of something the next thing you know you’re on your way to the App Store to not download an app. What happen to the days where you saw the app on the side of the bakery and if you want it you click if you don’t, you don’t? Now things are way worse where as your starting to clear your baked goods you are forced to watch the same ad for the same app every time you are clearing the baking items. Why? I sometimes only have a few minutes to play on a break and i am stuck watching videos of an app that I don’t want and waiting for 7 pop ups to pass before I can do anything. Make it stop! I understand that the company is probably paid for advertising but must we watch it every time we enter the app? Every time? Ugh! I think it’s a great app but there are some things that are not enjoyable and I don’t know if anyone is really going to read this to do anything about it..Pam h's phoneVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Same issuesRead up on a lot of forums. It costs more to cook then it is to sell food. I went to make pumpkin pie for the first time it said it’ll cost me $24,000 obviously I didn’t have the money for it. Robbing you off so much money you don’t even get half of it back. Deleting this app! Full of BS..JAYKAY1605Version: 1.8.4

✓ Game in process mode more than it is playableThe game is frustrating that it is in process mode more often than it is playable you have to turn your phone on and off to get it out of process mode. ads now all the time and to to get rid of each add you have to watch for at least 30 seconds then you have to turn your phone off and on to get rid of most ads that just sit in your screen and wont close. I used to love this game Ive played it for around 9 years but almost unplayable now as always in process mode - shame.Salweb2Version: 1.9.3

✓ Fun but the adds…Adds,adds, adds. I’m patient but there is a limit. When you open the app you get four regardless. When I’m trying to pick up food or delete expired food add pops up and I have to watch for a bit before I can skip. I get them if I want to speed up time but just to choose a food to make, edit the bakery, or to visit a neighbour is too much. And as soon as I close one add another pops up. It’s getting to much I deleted before a couple years ago then redownloaded. I knew there was a bit but it seems like there is even more now. It’s 1/3 game 2/3 adds. I don’t recommend it. Gets frustrating:/.Chicken meep!Version: 1.9.4

✓ Needs big improvementsThis game can be very frustrating because it seems like you don’t get anywhere because your gems are always used up by accidentally pressing ONE button and if you email them about it, they do not return your gems. So I can only save up my coins to expand my bakery.. very time consuming & frustrating because it costs so much.. thinking about quitting and I’ve been a loyal customer (yes paying real money to them) and playing for years. They need to fix their many bugs, make it to where neighbors are able to press the “send to all” button about any gift - not just the golden knob, make it to where we can see when our neighbor was last active(to see who still plays), make items less expensive *** and especially make it to where there is a “are you sure about this purchase?” button if I click on an item to purchase because I keep wasting my gems and also make the length of goals longer.. *** I could keep going! PLEASEEEE read your reviews & change something!! The people have spoke..YayakaBOBBYVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Ads?? where are my gems?Normally, gems can be earned by watching ads. I quite like that option, but now, ads are popping up after a dish is ready to be served. Ads keep coming up, but there’s no reward tied to them so really, it just interferes with game play. Either stop these extra ads, or provide gem rewards with them..SirenakhanVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Great game untilI played this game years ago and recently discovered it again. I like it a lot, it’s so fun, I like designing my own bakery, but some aspects I actually cannot stand and it makes me close the game. Firstly, the amount of ads that pop up EVERY SINGLE TIME I open the app is nauseating. Why do I need to see the same thing over and over again??? Secondly, when I’m trying to manage what I bake and I’m stopped halfway because of an ad. AGAIN. It’s ridiculous. Also, the fact that I’ve been playing this game for ages and only have 2 gems is so weird to me. Also, I don’t like wallpaper choices. They’re not that great. Also, some of the foods and drinks take sooooo long. And it’s such a hassle to build your own machines. Overall though, I have nice neighbours and this game is fun so I guess I’m going to have to deal with it..HumwonuVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Unachievable goals, expensive itemsOn a plus point - The game itself is great, I have some lovely neighbours and I like that you can theme your bakery according to seasons, valentines, hallowe’en, autumn and Christmas etc. However on a minus point, the goals are totally unachievable, at one time, there was the 5 day goal, then the 10 day one. Now they make them combined. Complete waste of time, unless you spent 24/7 playing, they are impossible if you work like me. Also the items for sale are too expensive and a lot of the good stuff costs loads of gems. Another point is that it is too easy to accidentally click on a “chest” and lose gems that way, and the item you have just got is rubbish.ShazbellinaVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Bakery StoryDon’t like the game anymore. Play for the friends I have made on here. Too many pop ups. Too much money gouging. Even the new ovens in the goals are so hard to obtain now without spending money to finish ur baking or acquire the ovens.. along with the little time to complete them. The game is a good concept, but the manipulation is downright disgusting..Hi,dmfhVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Stressful, rushed, and no longer funI played this game for the first time about ten years ago, and I loved it. Designing the bakery and the fun food and stuff. I had some complaints then and most of them are the same ones as now. Gifting takes too long and it’s basically impossible to find the items you want. Food can’t be moved to different counters so you have to keep ones in even if you want to change them. Once you get to level 99 you might as well quit because you will never get the 100 million xp to get to level 100. Through the years you had more time for goals, the ovens were less parts to create, and you didn’t have to make as many things during the goals. Unless you spend real money to buy gems you basically can’t complete the goals anymore. Thats super lame. Whats really annoyed me is that while all the problems are bad, they have been around for years, and storm8 has an active forum where people have given these complaints for years and nothing has changed. They heard all the problems and don’t care what the players think they just want us to watch ads and pay money. I’m really sick of it. 1 ☆ for nostalgia, 1 ☆ because designing your bakery is still pretty fun, otherwise this game has really disappointed me. I think I actually have to quit, it’s just not fun and relaxing anymore. Don’t download this game you’ll just waste your time and it won’t even be entertaining..Tobo144Version: 1.9.4

✓ Not funThis game used to be so much fun, but STORM8 doesn’t fix any problems with the game. The refer you to a forum where other users give you advice on how to tix the problem with the game. With my problem it was a problem that needed to be fixed by STORM 8 but they’re not interested. Several times I have completed the competition but no rewards were given. I can’t expand as there is a problem with my game, but they don't deal with it and just refer me back to a forum. Also there are too many pop up adverts that are ruining the game..Chopsuey1Version: 1.9.2

✓ Good game but too many pop ups.This is a great game, but there’s so so many pop ups and ads. When I first log into the game, I get atleast 6. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME... it makes it very very difficult to play. I used to play this when I was a bit younger, and there were never this many pop ups or ads. I had to uninstall the game and ended up moving to a similar game called ‘Fashion Story’ which had a lot less to no pop ups..Spooky.exeVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Great game but is in serious need of basic updatesI’ve been playing this game for so long, I can’t even remember. Maybe 15-20 years. Nothing changes. Some basic updates are still needed. The gifting of neighbours is so frustrating. You have to scroll through probably 75 to 100 gifts to find the one you need. There is no organization at all. It would be easily solved by categorizing the gifts such as food, basic parts, new goals etc. Should be able to unlock old recipes with gems. There are so many posts in the forums asking for gifts to be categorized better and nothing. Restaurant Story, their other game has this categorization. So it can be done, they just choose not to. It’s very frustrating. The game is riddled with bugs and it’s takes forever to load or go from neighbour to neighbour. Lack of updates or attention to this game is frustrating.KimmyoooooVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Tori gates not alignedI like the game and to play it with my friends and watching humans with bottomless stomachs and eat until they are poor, but when i put the tori gates for paths this gate is not centered with the floor tiles which it ruins the sight and doesn't let customers go through, please fix this bc its giving me anxiety..Pugzila55Version: 1.9.4

✓ Used to be greatThe general idea is nice, a good game to just dip in and out of. However, I just made some things that had taken 1 day to make, I close the app briefly then go back on and they have disappeared. What a waste. The ads are also very annoying, too many things popping up and I keep accidentally clicking on them, which, funnily enough, doesn’t make me want to download them! Such a shame..ZoeeKVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Read thisWe are not the only ones.Ry-Guy-2014Version: 1.9.4

✓ FrustratedI am a long long time player, I am getting frustrated that every time I open the game it takes forever to process and then sits there. I have to delete and reinstall. Also the time it takes to search for previous parts, can’t they be catalogued, sorted, filtered whatever to make it easier to find when requested instead of searching endless parts . The main challenge is ever so hard to complete. Unless you buy gems and that is not an option. I’ve yet to complete part 3 of second oven cooking, and not from lack of trying..Green spoonVersion: 1.9.4

✓ DoneAfter playing for at least 5 years, I am done with this game. First off, they shortened the time frame for goals. They used to be 30 days and are now 15. I play this game in my FREE time so it takes me about a week to just gather all the parts I need let alone even start on the goal. I also noticed that the prices went up on all the goal items. Since I am maxed on levels and have millions of currency this is not really an issue for me, but to players just starting out or on lower levels it just doesn’t seem fair. Also, the “free gems” button (lets you watch 10 ads every 24 hours to earn 10 free gems) idk what kind of rig y’all did to it but I can never get past watching 5 anymore because it tells me the video could not load or something. So there go my free gems. And on the subject of gems, the final straw as to why I am deleting this game...There is a button for “Bonus Gems” that has other ways for you to earn gems. I picked the Lords Mobile one and the terms were to ‘reach castle level 12’ in the game and i’d be rewarded 167 gems for my bakery. Well I reached castle level 12 and got no bonus gems. I sent Storm8 ‘tickets’ (because apparently they do not resolve anything through emails) to try and resolve the issue and they kept closing my tickets. I just wanted to let everyone else know incase anyone else has any of these problems. And I also wanted to say how crappy the customer service is. & rant over..Appletree123abcVersion: 1.8.1

✓ Greatness is obscured by pushy advertisingI want to love this game, sure, it’s a bit challenging accruing the funds to begin with. The challenges always seem like they’re setting you up for failure but it’s a good game, if you ignore them. One thing you can’t ignore is the incessant ads. Look, I can understand it’s hard to make money off such a game. I doubt many would spend so much for little value in the way of in-game currency. But the amount of advertising is beyond stifling. To speed up cooking? I can understand. Getting us to complete offers for diamonds? Absolutely. Pushing ads for thirty “different” games every time I log in every five minutes to check on the progress of my muffins? Not cool. I can’t even look at my cafe without a billboard for any other game. The other issue I keep having is constant glitches. Some haven’t been so bad, maybe to odd customer appearance changing every too seconds. But then I have had glitches where HOURS of progress of cooking is lost. Items just disappear off the counters between the two seconds I complete them, leave the app and return. Items stop cooking. Items get replaced while cooking. I can’t keep track, items just disappear. For such a simple game, there are so many issues. I want to love it, and not going to lie, I will probably continue playing it. But who’s to say how much longer?.SheIsDivineVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Used to be goad at one timeI have been playing this game now since 2014 but it’s changed so much, like why do we keep getting Ads in the game every time you log on smh this is so annoying when you are try to tip or decorate your bakery, I have an old kindle with this game on it and that doesn’t have ads, I will just delete this on my phone and it’s not a game for a 4 year old when people are being rude with the words they say like sexing smh.Izzy batVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Processing... PLEASE FIX! Otherwise, Will soon delete after years of playingMore and more the game freezes with a “Processing...” Even if I go out of the game and come back into it, most of the time, it takes restarting my phone to fix it. Unfortunately, it means I lose most of my dishes if I don’t want to restart my phone just to get the game to work. Just going out of the game and coming back in does nothing. I have tried staying out of the game for several days to no avail. If the glitches were fixed, I would give it four or five stars, but it is getting to where it is more frustrating than pleasure. UODATE: I have have been playing this game for years. I have started over with each new phone and have never had this problem. It has been going on for several months, now. The issue had been posted and nothing has been done. I see others are posting similar issues. This is getting old. This game may be going from one of my favorites to pass time to DELETED very soon. I hate that. I will miss the game..Molly PugginsVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Fun game, but ads make it nearly unplayable.I gotta be honest—I only downloaded this game initially because my girlfriend wanted someone to tip her café every day, but ended up legitimately enjoying it. It’s simple, relaxing, and even fun. Until you take into account that you probably spend half to two thirds of the time you’ve got the app open watching and clicking out of the endless stream of ads it forces down your throat. Normally, you only open it to collect and set out your baked goods and pop a couple more into the oven, which ought to take all of fifteen seconds. Nice little idle game. However, every time you open the app, you’re greeted before you have the chance to do anything with the same four ads telling you to install the publisher’s other games, etc. which take at least as long to get through (not to mention the other random fifteen to thirty second ads that pop up right before you do your last tap, meaning you can’t just close the app and call it done). It’s legitimately infuriating when you just want to play the game and instead of tasteful ad placement (not to mention tasteful ads—heaven knows the things that are advertised are not at all accurate to what you play in their little “mini games”), Storm decides that you’re not allowed to play until you go though every ad under the sun. If you’re fine with that, then this is the game for you. If not, don’t even touch this game—it’s fun, but it’ll just make you as mad as it made me..Cmbravo123Version: 1.9.2

✓ Recruiting friends is a deal breakerI expect this review to be deleted because only 5 star reviews are displayed. I was really enjoying the game and then hit a wall. In order to expand my shop I needed to recruit more real life friends to the game. NOPE. Uninstalled. I am playing other games by this publisher a and I hope it doesn't end the same way..DisappointedHeroVersion: 1.7.8

✓ Alright but could be better.This would be a really good game if i did not have to delete and reinstall the app at this twice every day due to processing. I also dislike how you click on something n then spend the gems accidentally. Its too easy to do and there is no option to reverse. Other than these two bugs, the game itself is good. I just wish someone would fix those issues..Zoekyle1983Version: 1.8.4

✓ Keeps Crashing and won’t go online.Normally I never write reviews but this was needed. I love bakery story and I’ve been playing for many years, even restarted a new bakery for fun. But since I’m restarting I’ve noticed some bugs since I’ve been on iPhone. At times the game will randomly crash, freezing my phone for a second then exiting. Sometimes it won’t register some of the things I did in the past minute before crashing making it worse. Now this is the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because the game won’t connect at all to the server. I start the game get a screen of the need of internet although I’m connected. I tried using data, during my phone off as well as deleting the app and reinstalling. It didn’t work and it’s been a full 24 hours since then. I saw this only a couple of times and all I needed to do was do the steps I tried earlier but it won’t work now. If there’s anything you can do to fix it I will change the review to 5stars since I absolutely love this game. Please, help this bug..TavaUwUVersion: 1.8.3

✓ PLEASE UNLOCK OVENS FOR MISSED GOALSI had this game years ago and then deleted it for whatever the reason was I can’t remember. I then re-downloaded it a good few months ago now and I find myself seeing many ovens in other people’s bakery’s that I am unable to unlock because it was for a goal. I didn’t have the app downloaded and yet I was still included in the goals so now I have 112, YES ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE, ovens that I cannot unlock. I also have A LOT of tables and chairs that I cannot unlock as again they are part of a goal. New comers also have these ovens etc and aren’t able to use them so what is the point in that?! could you please PLEASE do something about this! Wether that be to just simply unlock them, or redo the goal, or even unlock them and make them buyable by gems! I know I am NOT the only one who has asked for this to be done numerous times. It is getting boring now, I have emailed several times about this. So I ask again. PLEASE do something about this ... my stormID is LouJ97 👍🏻.LoupSoupVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Used to be funThis is a fun game, I enjoy it and its nice to see your progress. Recently they’ve been running events with far too many goals so you can never complete the event without spending money. Theyve also introduced random ads into the game and you cannot do more than 2 things without a random ad starting. This results in me closing and opening my app at least 5 times every time I want to quickly put fresh stuff on to bake, its a pain and they've ruined what used to be a fun game..ALC7337Version: 1.9.4

✓ Positive / negativeI have played this game for years and love it. I have some amazing neighbors. That is the positive. The negative is that this game inevitably costs gems, so far I am in for about $3 to $ 4 thousand dollars, 2022 has been more demanding and you end up using gems just to complete goals. More goals, more recipes to fill, more parts, more expensive…Everything in life is more expensive but the game has definitely gotten greedy..Mercier, QuebecVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Please fix this!First of all, I do enjoy this game. I’ve had it well over three years and have played on and off during that time. However, like I’ve seen many people pointing out, it just isn’t the same. The whole pop-up ad situation is quite annoying. I can be in the middle of serving my food and my game freezes and then proceeds to play a 30 second ad for a game or app. Which I can live with that, 30 seconds isn’t that long, I might be annoyed for a few moments but then I can exit out of it and go back to playing. The thing that really irks me though, is how I’m brought to the App Store to download said advertised game. I never click on anything but the ‘x’ so why am I being brought here to download it? Also when I go back into the Bakery Story app -after exiting out of the App Store- the game freezes and then kicks me out to my home screen. I then have to go back into the game wait for it to load, and go through more pop-up ads and videos. This is extremely annoying, and time consuming, especially when I’m just trying to check the game real quick before getting back to whatever I may be doing. PLEASE fix this!.SapplesauceVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Could be betterIve been playing this game on and off for years. I love the whole concept of designing your own bakery and it helps me kill time HOWEVER sometimes the screen freezes when i try to buy something and i dont have enough coins and then itll take my gems in exchange for coins when i didnt even press anything because it FROZE. Please fix these bugs, its really annoying. Sometimes i would have to close the app and reopen 2 times....Imgorjess97Version: 1.8.4

✓ Fix pleaseLove the game but when I come back after a few hours to play I always have to force close the app because it doesn’t work. It just shows “processing” loading page and I can not play unless I force close the app. Also way to may pop ups and ads. Especially after I have to force close app to play, the ads just never stop. I don’t want to purchase any other games. Also the missions you offer I never ever complete with to little time and my neighbours never send the parts i need..Alliex1Version: 1.9.2

✓ Could be great...If the developers would ACTUALLY LISTEN to fans! I mean, they set up a forum, ask players for suggestions, but then don’t even implement the most basic fixes that would bring the game in line with its “sister game” in Restaurant Story, ie tabs organising gifts when sending. Mind you, this is a company that doesn’t even respond to official support channels, so we can’t really expect to much now!.Tania007Version: 1.8.3

✓ What I cook just disappearedIt does not make any sense because I tapped on the food I’ve done making but an ad appeared and the food is gone after? Also, it does not sync with other devices smoothly and bugs still exist. It would also be so much better if the developer could add a feature such as double confirming when player tap on the food because sometimes we tap on the food accidentally but we have to pay extra to change the dish? It’s awful that way we have to spend. I hope there would also be some system rewarding gems and more free gems per day..Binggan00Version: 1.8.4

✓ I use to love this game..🥲Years ago I use to play this game on my tablet, Absolutely loved it. It’s a great game. However now the ads/pop ups they’ve added have completely ruined it. I don’t have issues with watching ads for speed ups or even their own personal game ads that I can close out but when I’m in the middle of baking an item and a pop up comes up that I have to fully watch the and sometimes will even freeze the whole app so I have to close and restart it THAT is incredibly frustrating. Please scale down the pop up ads I understand this is a free game and you need to make money. I’m not saying get rid of all the ads, but when the pop ups are literally crashing your app (I have an updated new iPhone other games don’t do this) it’s not worth it. I’m sure it’s caused people to uninstall because it’s the exact reason I haven’t bought crystals and am currently debating removing the game. I have some nostalgic love for this game but these ads seriously make me question if it’s worth playing..LBX ProVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Could do betterA kids game but so much is driven towards adults so you need to review your target age. So many little things not right like food gifts having to scroll through endless oven elements. Connection is very poor, games uses too much memory. You need to look at the notices when you achieve ordering food to 1,2,3 or 4 stars the messages are crushed and don’t look good..Goofy BritVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Extremely addictive & fun! ILOVE the game.The game has many unique & creative options for accessorizing your bakery, which I love. I enjoy the challenges to a degree, but they can get somewhat monotonous, extensive & repetitive by encouraging downloading/playing other games from the game designers. Whereas the “game focused” challenges are quite fun and worth in conjunction with goal of the game itself. But I can’t give 5 stars as there a number of aspects of the game that are quite annoying, and ofttimes frustrating. For example, it is ridiculous that any product you purchase can only be sold back for 10% of the original cost, it’s downright rip-off and only get worse with you consider the sheer numbers of challenges that “require” purchases of items I wouldn’t have otherwise purchased. Not to mention the ridiculous accumulation of floor tiles & wall paper that cannot be sold back, it makes zero sense to hold thousands of dollars worth of useless tile/wallpaper only because the game doesn’t have/provide this option..Socmomof4Version: 1.8.4

✓ It’s fun but needs workI really enjoy the game but there are way too many ads and there’s no option to pay to remove them. It would be amazing if the makers of the game allowed us to pay like a dollar or something to remove the ads. It really needs a good update as well. I went like 3 years where I didn’t have the game and I downloaded it back a few months ago and it still looks the same as it did. I also think the amount of gifts you can send and receive should be higher. You should be able to gift and receive to and from all of your neighbors. Not just 20. It makes goals take so long. Another thing that’s really needlessly time consuming is having to search through a loooong list of items to gift. I love that the new goals are right there up front of the list but then after that there is zero organization. Even if they separated them alphabetically that would make it a bit easier..ComfyMommVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Good game but some glitchesRly love this game, but i noticed i wasn’t making a lot of money today n none of my dishes were being used up. realised that no customers were coming in, and if they were it was like 1 every five minutes. some customers would come in and show the heartbroken symbol as if there were no seats but there’s plenty free. fix this..Abi💜🥀Version: 1.9.2

✓ A big bug need to fix itSometimes when I’ve achieved the goals and the prize I got (coins) was disappeared after a minute. Other than that all things goes well..Reviewer J&GVersion: 1.8.4

✓ CratesWhy does it not ask you for a confirmation when buying a crate? that’s really stupid and it’s clearly so that you all can make extra money. i wracked up 24 gems so i could buy a crate i wanted, but then i accidentally clicked another crate and it took my gems without even asking me or anything. unhappy. and disappointed.12937;73$:Version: 1.9.4

✓ Yawn!I downloaded this game about 5 years ago. I have fount that it no longer interests me. The Bakery story 2 is a better game for me. I haven't updated this game in years and by all reviews I wouldn't bother as the ovens and gems are a necessary part of the game. I will not pay for extras in any game. Sorry I am not that stupid or rich so not going to happen..CafeMexico1Version: 1.8.3

✓ Gone DownhillI’ve been playing the Story games off and on for about 10 years and I have noticed, when re-downloading Bakery Story in 2022 that things have changed for the worse. The app takes a while to load into, and it is RIDDLED with advertisements the second you open it. There’s always a good 4-5 pop-ups that I see continuously. Me seeing them often just makes me angry and frustrated - not encouraged to buy anything, which I wouldn’t purchase anyways. There are things that also need to be fixed and worked on. The music cuts out and sometimes doesn’t even play. The furniture and options all have stayed the same since I first played in 2013. When sending neighbours requests, when you start checking their boxes they sometimes become unchecked, so you have to do it all over again. Also, for gifting, why aren’t there categories or at least a search bar for items? I don’t send gifts unless someone sends me a request because I refuse to go through over 50+ options to find the one they want. Moreover, why am I getting a pop-up video ad after only playing for maybe 30 seconds? It’s getting to a point where I’m most likely going to remove the app again and probably not come back because I can’t stand the ads. It’s too much. Oh, also, the goals are basically impossible to complete unless you have maybe 50+ neighbours that are all active or you want to pay for gems. Not enjoying the pay to win aspect. Really disappointed in what this game has become..MiDNiTE x HaloVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Updates pleaseThe “gift back” button should gift the exact same item back like it does in restaurant story. The news feed should keep all activity for who is tipping, not who responded for my request for help when that info is already on the page for gifts. I should be able to decide if I want comments on or off without blocking people or at least be able to do a “delete all” for the comments wall. Listen to your players: the parts need to be sectioned off in the gift section as food, goal parts, and basic parts. It’ll make it easier to find what you need. AND/Or even better, when you click on an unfinished oven in yours or your neighbor’s bakery, the parts menu can auto scroll down to the parts necessary to build that particular oven. Also, don’t like how short the goal time is. I’ve missed 2 goals and have a wall full of neighbors who don’t play daily. Because if this, I’ve declared myself a non-goal player and will delete the game once I am unable to expand anymore..MrsLiciaHVersion: 1.8.4
