Cooking Dash™ for Negative User Reviews

✓ Used to be 5 starsSince the last update in order to earn free gold it’s now a whole process. Takes way too much time, and not as much interest when it requires so much to advance. Disappointing. Used to be my favorite game. Might have to find another..Lula77Version: 2.26.6

✓ Gotten worse and keep needing to redownloadThat’s what happens with no updates… agree with the other recent reviewers, no ads to watch, even if you want to and every few weeks it’s making me redownload all the different restaurants. What’s worse is the daily goals has been the same restaurant for weeks! And I have quite a few options. But just makes me do one of the same daily. I give up.Kitkat0034Version: 2.26.6

✓ Plaqued with bugsFirstly - progress is ridiculously slow. This game is designed to make you spend money. There are prize wheels which payout prep kitchen receipts you unlock at level 1 & can produce yourself in 7 minutes. Not really a prize. If they insist on calling it a prize wheel they should make it something that excites you to play on. Secondly - there are so many bugs it is pathetic. I was getting into it (regardless of the stupidly slow progress) & then they updated it & I lost everything. Made me extremely glad I hadn't invested any real money into it. Customer service do respond to all the issues but it takes DAYS!! No doubt they're overwhelmed by all the problems..GizzaHugVersion: 2.17.4

✓ Money hungry game!It’s a great game, but gets very expensive as you progress. They used to give you free gold for watching ads but they have recently removed that functionality. I relied on the free golds to progress slowly in the game or you would have to buy gold and that gets expensive. Customer service said we can get free golds by signing up for services or completing surveys? I didn’t play the game to complete surveys or sign up for services, I can do that without the game!!! It seems like they’re just out to make money. I have since deleted my game..TNGU14Version: 2.26.6

✓ Love it but has issuesLove this game, however I am finding I have to update it between 1-3 times a day which eats at my data. Is there a particular reason the game needs so many updates, very frustrating when all you want is to turn the game on and have to wait for downloads constantly. Needs sorting out..Kelz42Version: 2.3.4

✓ Gotten worseIt used to be great but now you can’t watch video to speed up progress of powers. Game is hard and they don’t give you many freebies.Nickle64Version: 2.26.6

✓ U use to enjoy this game. Not any moreThis is getting ridiculous! 1 u cant report problems. I wanted the free 10 gold thingys by signing in but then it made me restart the whole game! And i didnt even get the gold things and i couldnt restore what i got up to. Now it glitches when i try to play making my prep ability just disappear as it thinks ive played. No it glitched and it really annoyed me. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone as there isnt enjoy enjoyment of the game to make up for the stupid easy to solve problems with the game..Smee696Version: 2.22.6

✓ Money-grabbing game that keeps you paying...I used to love playing this game, but lately I've been very disappointed with it and the way my feedback has been handled. - BASICALLY THIS GAME MAKES YOU PAY TO GET GOLD IN ORDER TO GET MORE UPGRADES, AND PAY GOLD TO PLAY MORE LEVELS AND MORE GAMES. BOTTOMLINE ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO UPKEEP. AND NOW WORSE STILL, there used to be a gold bar reward awarded for every video presentation you watched in the past, now you DON'T necessarily get a gold bar each time you watch a video, which I think is ridiculous and below the belt in the money grabbing scheme of things. I also contacted Customer Care about this, saying there is a glitch, but they kept saying sorry there's nothing they can do about it or they're trying to fix the issue, but really, I think they created the issue in the first place on purpose so they can lure desperate players to pay for gold bars rather than earn them through watching videos. How cheap is that? I'm boycotting this game now..Sundrop2204Version: 1.33.8

✓ Too badNo longer being updated! Sad..Jazzy atVersion: 2.26.6

✓ No more goldThis is my favorite game. I’ve been playing it for years. I’ve even spent money on it from time to time. However, I relied mostly on free gold from watching ads and also from doing other offers. For the last month or so, there have been no ads to watch. During that time, most days your “daily goals” required you to watch 3 ads for free gold. Which means not only are you missing out on that but you’re missing out on the gold you get from completing the goal AND since you’re unable to complete all 3 daily goals, you miss out on a free spin on the wheel. This was incredibly frustrating. I contacted customer service about this, they agreed to give me a gold if I can screenshot it being part of my daily goals. After that though, I didn’t see it in my daily goals. They did recommend doing other offers to get more free gold. So that’s what I had been doing. Well now there is NO option to earn free gold whatsoever. This game requires a lot of gold to level up and complete levels and I will not be spending my own money everytime I need gold. I will be deleting the app unless the gold situation gets fixed. 👋🏻.Kaylarh91919Version: 2.26.6

✓ Cooking DashWay to hard to make gold !!! And sometimes you can't collect gold when it says you can.DezCharliVersion: 1.33.8

✓ Too expensive to playI really like playing this game but it cost too much for those gold bars. To make progress in this game you have to buy the gold bars for upgrades. Their used to have ads for gold bars, hours or days for a new boosters. l have to uninstall this app because it’s not worth the money or time. They’re better games to play that doesn’t takes all day to play and don’t need to spend much money. The makers of this game are just money grabbers, just read other people reviews..BelljayleoVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Can't get enoughToo much advertising.PorkcracklingVersion: 2.25.0

✓ Bug issues prevent game progressionI have been playing this game for a number of years and have been very happy with it until recently. Unfortunately, over the two months, there have been issues with game progression. After completing a level, the game stalls and does not log progression of the level or award prizes. The player loses any prep recipes used to complete this level and is unable to claim the prize they would otherwise have won. The solution given this morning by customer care - "don't use the prep recipes until we resolve the issue". This solution would be bad if the fix was anticipated within the next week, but the issue has been ongoing since the last update in mid December 2020..Bekca CVersion: 2.23.1

✓ Cooking DashWhy not less fonts and more gold.6timesVersion: 1.19.12

✓ Great game but needs workI really like this game. I’ve only had it for about a month and have been playing it a lot. I completed the series for the first restaurant and I’m up to the part where you have to have ten stars to pass, five times. I can’t pass level four and I’ve been trying for three months and I’ve had enough. There should be an option to skip a level. I also unlocked the taco restaurant but every time I open the app to play a level it shuts down and wastes ten groceries bags..Nicknames suck dicVersion: 2.7.11

✓ Please reply to my messageI love this game, however it is pretty impossible to progress without spending lots of money on the game which is very annoying. It is very obvious that the developers are making it hard to progress, even when you do spend a lot of money. I accidentally deleted the app and have lost all progress, ave tried to contact the game but still waiting for a reply. I will not be playing again if I can’t get my old game back. Please contact me..🧐Chez🤨Version: 2.14.4

✓ Don't updateJust updated and all my progress was deleted 😡 have to start from the beginning and is now freezing more than ever.Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...zzzzVersion: 1.5

✓ Pay to Win in every sense of the phraseThere are levels that you simply cannot pass without being able to buy upgrades or boosters, which require either only gold bars or a combination of gold and coins. Problem is the game is very frugal with giving you gold bars. If you get five stars on a level you get a random prize at the end- sometimes it’s gold but usually it’s something useless like an item of clothing that you actually have to collect 70 of to be able to use. There is the prize wheel but i’ve played this game for months and literally have never landed on the 3 gold bars, more likely one of the stupid character prizes that again you have to collect like 100 to actually get. The VIP part at the end of a restaurant, never beat any of those because I don’t have the gold to get all the upgrades for that restaurant and I don’t have boosters. It’s really sad because the PSP game was so fun and I’m just looking for that kind of experience again but the only way you can play Diner Dash these days is through phone apps like this that want you to pay real money for gold bars that you need to actually advance in the game. I have 70,000 coins and 1 gold bar right now but every upgrade for all my restaurants require at least 7 gold bars to upgrade. They don’t even have like watch an ad and get a gold bar instead it’s these crazy virus infested tasks of click this link to open this browser and then click a link there and we’ll give you 1 gold..UrcadurkVersion: 2.26.6

✓ It seemed so intriguingI have always really loved Diner Dash and it’s other exciting series. Flo was an ingenious character who had such a great personality. The levels were challenging, yet, it was so satisfying to fulfil once a level was completed. However, trying to play this game it began to become a difficult task to do. Having only re -download it onto my device yesterday, I was tasked to watch videos that did not re-spawn at all. Secondly, the game itself does not allow you to make enough money to open other stores. Finally, trying to replay old levels, my device kept crashing (four times to be exact)..Bee0139486Version: 2.25.0

✓ Too GlitchyI’ve been playing this since it came out many years ago, having loved and bought all the PC games, but the quality has degraded so much that I must comment. The actual cooking game is enjoyable. But the constant glitches (where I lose VIP customers I’ve spent 3 days acquiring or progress on trophies I’m working toward), the poor “rewards” (when you spin a “prize” wheel knowing you’re going to hate what you get except that 1 in 100 case, it’s not a reward or a prize!), removing videos to earn gold (because they can’t get sponsors anymore), and making earning some outfits nearly impossible (I’ve spent nearly 4 years trying to get some outfit sets and am still only at 10%) has made this game nearly unplayable. Add in the fact that the Trial of Styles are fixed and the developers abandoned this game for a different platform, and even though I’ve loved this franchise for many years and spent a lot of real-world money on it, I have to warn other people against it. It breaks my heart..Piper45maruVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Amusant mais cherrantJe suis vraiment déçu avant on pouvait recevoir des lingots(8) par jour avec le visionnement de vidéo je ne suis plus capable depuis un bon bout de temps… il est impossible d’avancer sans lingot puisque nous ne pouvons pas améliorer les restaurants que nous avons déjà ni en acheter des nouveaux… je ne joue plus depuis un petit bout et j’adorais ce jeux 😞.Audree2728Version: 2.26.6

✓ Good but needs simplifying and fixingConstantly crashes, can crash four times just trying to open the app, and has been made so convoluted with additional “add one” that detract from the main game (clothes etc) but give no real benefit apart from trying to generate more money. I wish they would just charge for the game and leave it at that.....seriously thinking of getting rid of apple stuff......ScheshireVersion: 2.24.1

✓ Too Many Bugs!!!!!Fun game but it has too many bugs to make it really enjoyable. I’ve lost count of the number of groceries, supers and VIPs I’ve lost because the game has crashed 10 seconds into a round and kicked me back to the home screen. Get your act together and fix all the bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I think major in-game compensation is due to all your loyal players who are continuing to persevere despite all the bugs. Free gold, groceries, supers, VIPs etc are in order I think!!.DesperatelyinneedofcarVersion: 2.5.2

✓ Not receiving my in app purchasesI have purchased the starter pack once I did it straight away my game crashed and it took the money from my account but didn’t give me the items.. I waited about 10 minutes and purchased it again thinking it might have been a glitch the first time and I really wanted the items to help me upgrade things so I could get 5 stars and serve all customers but yet again my game crashed once it took the money from my account, I have waited and I just want to hear something back from someone to know if I will get my items or money back!! I love this game but this has really put me off..Rbill01Version: 2.19.4

✓ Money grabbingMoney grabbing game. You can’t progress without spending big bucks on gold. You could get free gold by watching ads but now can’t even do that as there has been no ads available for weeks now. Still waiting for a response and outcome on the fix to this from customer care. Do yourself a favour don’t start playing. It’s a shame because it’s an enjoyable game.DoddiemawbyVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Cooking dashGreat game so far, but not enough time given. And limited gold to get.Cinderella PhilippinesVersion: 1.5

✓ Expensive and time consumingThis game is fun to play but they've designed it to make it VERY difficult to earn gold...... which you have to have to buy upgrades to win the levels. The upgrades are super expensive compared to the gold you can earn without using your real, hard earned money to buy more. The prep kitchen recipes you need to really win levels take hours and days to prep (no joke people.... 20 hours, 14 hours, 2 days, etc.). You can earn “free gold” by watching 30 second videos or completing other tasks tasks. BE WARNED....... this process can be glitchy and even though you did your part, you won’t get your gold. Don’t bother contacting customer service, “It’s beyond their control”. Free gold is handled by a third party and they “have no control over it”. They are super great about telling you how it’s all your fault though ( your device doesn’t have enough memory, your bandwidth isn’t good enough, etc), AND, they will NEVER offer to give you anything free in return for all your trouble. They are even good enough to tell you that you can uninstall your game and reinstall it to solve any glitching and everything will be great b/c they have a backup of your game saved..... BE WARNED!!!!! THEY DON’T!!!! Customer care is a joke!!! My 4 year old is more helpful. You will lose everything for good. Very hard lesson learned here. A LOT of time and energy wasted. DON't WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE! I will be deleting this game as soon as I hit send!.Bwilli34Version: 2.1.4

✓ Parts of game “coming soon” …. For over 2 yearsThere are special levels that still haven’t been released. The last update was 11 months ago. Come on developers! Finish the game already!.Stuffed around slotVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Please bring back free gold!This is the best game in the world, but I can’t afford to play it anymore. I’m so depressed they got rid of the watch ads for gold..CatracerVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Broken without free goldWas enjoying this game. It is very grindy for those who enjoy that kind of thing unless you spend money on gold. Gold is hard to come by in the game but a lot is need for up grading equipment and food. Up until recently you could get about 11 gold a day doing the 3 daily challenges and watching 8 ads for free gold. For completing the 3 daily challenges you would also get a free spin on “the deal wheel” which offers various prize including more gold. Recently the ads have stopped resetting everyday so I cannot get the 8 free gold the ads provide. Also one of the daily challenges is typically to watch ads for gold so this challenge cannot be completed. So now I’m left with only 2 gold a day and no free spin on deal wheel. Typically items are relatively inexpensive to upgrade early on. However to upgrade to higher levels even spending 10 gold to do so get expensive when you only get 2 gold a day. When I got 11 gold a day it took a long time to save up enough to get items upgraded so you could advance the game. Now it take way to long. I have contacted customer care and they have told me have no control over if ads are available to me. The ads are controlled by a third party. But ads still pop up between games which is normal but ads won’t reset for free gold. And one daily challenge is usually to watch ads so can’t complete that for free spin. It would not surprise me if this issue was unique to me but the game is not playable in this condition..GunnyjesterVersion: 2.25.0

✓ Fun but….I have played this game for years. As a mom it is one of my few guilty pleasures. The game itself is fun, but there is one frustrating aspect to it-in order to upgrade your restaurant you need gold. Up until recently one was able to “earn” up to 8 bars of gold by watching short advertisements each day. Then you can earn three more bars for completing daily tasks, sometimes one being to watch the advertisements. Otherwise you can purchase gold which is not cheap. Recently the option to watch ads has been taken away. I was sent a message when I inquired saying that there were still other opportunities to earn gold, but those require you to sign up for services, take surveys or purchase something. I get wanting to make money off this, but this is frustrating. I just want to play the game without having to buy something in order to play it. I wish they had the option to buy gold with the coins you earn, or something. I would be willing to pay a one time fee for the game. I hope the creators come up with something different in regards to the gold otherwise I will probably be deleting it. Had they not changed the way to earn gold I would have given this game five stars.Chel_80Version: 2.26.6

✓ Far too expensiveIt's a good game and I've been waiting for the new one, but this has put me off, you can't play the game without spending loads of money...very frustrating..Chowchow17Version: 1.9

✓ Too SlowI thought it was slow to progress through the restaurants back when they had video ads. With that option now gone, it takes so unbelievably long to buy upgrades. We’re talking 3 gold per day, max (unless you get lucky with a VIP or 5-star score). Then having those challenges that say “serve this item 35 times for 2 gold” is actually disrespectful when you think of how much real time that takes, and how far those 2 bars will go. They clearly want you to purchase the gold. We all gotta make a living, but come on with the strong-arm. Maybe it’s working and other players are gritting their teeth, purchasing gold over and over. I won’t be participating. Feels like a money-grab at the sacrifice of UX, and I think there were better ways to bring it in, like having the option to pay a small fee per week to get a boost in daily gold earnings, but still leaving the video ad option there. Or, I don’t know, some other way? Was this the best you guys could come up with? It’s not even creative. Boo..97tyVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Please fix home indicator problemTaps near the bottom of the screen, like when selecting ingredients, often trigger the home indicator and canceling the tap. It’s very confusing. This is an easy fix. Please support full screen or move the bottom items up slightly so they don’t overlap the home indicator bar. Update: it’s been 8 months since my review and this still hasn’t been fixed. Maybe I should stop spending money on this game!.ToughRoughVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Fun fun if you have moneyGreat game, but its too hard to progress unless you have heaps of gold bars. The further you get the more gold bars you need and it's not cheap to get them..$DRA90N$Version: 1.7

✓ Very disappointed!I’ve been playing this game for a while now, probably more than a couple of years. For the past few weeks, I have been unable to access the games. It’s stays on the loading page for ages. I finally decided to reinstall the app. I sync to my Facebook account all the time so assumed that my progress would be saved. NOPE! I’ve lost everything, all my levels and progress. What’s the point! I’ve read some other reviews and they’ve said the same thing. Very disappointing!.SpockneyVersion: 2.14.4

✓ Used to be good, now it doesn’t even updateI’ve been playing Cooking Dash since it came out on PC and appreciated that this version has different cuisines. However, since a few months ago 1. VIP trial of style - even if I win the first one, it doesn’t get recorded and I don’t progress to the next, which makes it a useless waste of VIP tickets. 2. I serve all customers in a regular game level, and get 5 stars, but it only gets recorded as silver not gold, even if I use VIPs to make sure all customers are served. 3. Tried to raise an issue with customer service using the gear icon. After I put in my issue and hit submit, it says “invalid email” even if I’ve typed it in correctly. Basically, you can’t send complaints. I hope they fix this but it’s really a turnoff after investing so much time in this game..WLC10Version: 2.23.1

✓ Can't upgradeFun game but far too hard without upgrades and can't upgrade without spending money. Plus has tons of ads. I get they want to make money but pick one or the other..PixiechiqVersion: 1.9

✓ Crap nowWhy did they take free gold videos away not worth playing now.Fucrap9876Version: 2.26.6

✓ GoneCrashes constantly but this time it has lost all my data. I had made level 70 something, unlocked 18 sites, was working on gaining all stars in those sites and now it is all gone :-( Have been playing for years and it's gone, gone, gone :-( Not starting again, goodbye Flo..Trac42Version: 1.29.13

✓ Coin bonus when you finish the episode fast!I've found when i finish a episode and serve every customer in the there I can sometimes only get up to around 3-5 coins from them. So by the end of the episode I have only achieved 1 star or in some cases no stars. It doesn't make sense! I personally i think that there should be some sort of coin bonus when you finish the episode to boost up those stars! Otherwise it'll be next to impossible to get 3 stars which to me seems unfair and it may loose you players! :/.SootyskeeperVersion: 1.33.8

✓ Toke £5 for a offer but won’t pay the coins out !! Con artistsSo I complete a offer to receive coins for another game which says if you spend £4.99 in total on cooking dash you receive coins to spend in another game I’m playing and guess what they didn’t pay out the excuse was because it was done in separate transactions yet there was nothing stating this at the time of purchase and I spent the £4.99 in the space of a hour and showed proof of my receipt to Them yet they won’t pay out because ‘it’s not been paid in one sum’ the game Itself is rubbish Don’t waste your money at all !!!!!!!!!.Anneboleyn1984Version: 2.2.14

✓ DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME IT IS A SCAMThis game is fun at first but if you spend money on it and your game crashes or you lose some of your purchases, the developers won’t give them back to you. Very bad customer service. After months , countless hours and spending my hard earned money I deleted the app for a night only to re download it and see that some of my upgrades were lost. I had a whole venue at almost full upgrade for everything and now all of that is gone. Save your time and money..PoxxiiVersion: 2.2.14

✓ Needs improvementAs much as I adore games like this, it takes almost an entire season to save up gold coins and gold bars to upgrade one or two items (kitchen, customer area etc) if you are lucky... I spent about $17 before I even realised that this game is almost conning/forcing you to purchase items to improve speed/ flo's service. Can someone please ensure the game is less rigged as this would be even more enjoyable if there wasn’t a crazy wait period for your grocery bags to refill and also the gold bars is ridiculous !!.ThelionmissusxxVersion: 2.2.14

✓ Love/HateI love this game. The game play is so fun, the characters are entertaining, there's A LOT you can unlock and do, it's mostly an awesome game! However, it really is very difficult to get anywhere without spending real world money. At first, it seems easy to gain gold bars, complete levels, unlock necessary and helpful upgrades, etc. But the more you play, the less you see. For instance, I completed the first restaurant (Table Steaks - all three seasons) with ease and managed to get 5 stars on every level with little help. I have since purchased Taco Train and find it impossible to get 5 stars on the majority of levels without VIPs, which cost gold as do upgrades to the restaurant, plus coins and only gaining a couple stars per level, I'm not getting many coins either. So no matter what I do, even using gold to buy things to help, I'm getting nowhere. I purchased the vegan restaurant next, even WITH upgrade, VIPs, serving all customers quick and efficiently I'm only able to get 2-3 stars per episode. Why is that? I feel like the work I'm putting into each level is monumental compared to the rewards. I'd spend real money on this game if I felt like it would actually help but to be honest, I don't think it will. And lastly, I've only been playing this game for about a week, maybe not even that long, at first I didn't notice many ads. Now all of a sudden there are video ads that pop up frequently and oftentimes crash the game..KelseyNovaVersion: 2.0.26

✓ Money GrabbingThis is a very fun game to play. The animation is wonderful. It’s fast pace and for those who need to relax, this is something to center your attention on. The levels increase as you go which is fun. The more you reach your level, the more you get. You do get surprise guest ( customers) who will increase your coin level to reach the next level. DOWNFALL: If you do not want to go broke, I would not recommend this game. This game is money hungry. I am aware that they have to make money but will all the advertisements which pop up, they should be fine. What both me is the fact that there is no real win to this game. You can’t buy the next level until you complete the challenge. Surprise! When you beat the level you have a challenge. Another surprise!! You can’t beat the challenge unless you purchase more gold and coins. If you beat the first challenge and lose the 2nd challenge, you go back to the 1st challenge. No one should be forced to do the challenge if you do not want too. I liked the old game years back. You could play at a good level without all the new challenges and without almost giving them a days salary to pay a game. Beside, what do you get at the end, nothing but another ad and a pop up to buy more coins. Hope this helps people who struggle in life and do not want to put their gas money into a game. Lovely game but to expensive.KarbunnyVersion: 2.2.14

✓ Keeps crashingI’m one episode away from moving onto the next but it keeps crashing, making me lose out on the shopping bags. Spoke to customer service and no resolution. Did everything they told me too and it still crashes.#imachickenVersion: 2.26.6

✓ So annoyingI would easily buy a full version of this game if it meant no premium currency or limited energy. It would be so fun if it didnt require so much gold after getting to just the second restaurant which takes watching a finite amount of ads, or if it didnt take hours just to use one temporary upgrade. Wouldn’t more ads mean more business and money for them? Also the clothes and extras are basically useless because it takes 100 of the individual points for each item which you can only get by spinning the wheel which leaves little chances of actually completing sets. It feels like the game is mocking you every time you spin the wheel bc it gives you 1 token out of 150 to get rhe automated chef. The biggest prize in trial of style is getting a singular spin on the premium wheel which gives you like 5 more tokens lol. The psychology in this game isn’t effective it’s just frustrating. Doesn’t make me want to keep playing if that’s what they’re going for 🙄 would gladly keep playing if they gave us more resources and faster too..Skykey12Version: 2.25.0

✓ Pay to winI really enjoy this game, but I find that I quickly cant progress because I don’t have enough gold to upgrade the kitchens. I would enjoy it a lot more if you could get more gold from other activities than aren’t watching ads. I don’t think the purchasing price of gold correlates with the actual value in the game. For example, to upgrade one thing out of on average 25 upgradable items per show - can cost 30 gold which would be £2.99. It doesn’t feel worth it to spend that money just in order to upgrade one item on one cooking show. I’d be more willing to pay £2.99 in order to upgrade one cooking show to a high enough level to complete the series. Considering there are 40+ cooking shows - I don’t see this as inconceivable. £2.99 per show per person would equate to at least £120 pp for this game. Not including other buys that players could purchase. I just feel that the price is too expensive for me to warrant. I purchased once and it only allowed me to play 4 extra levels which is about 10 minutes extra. It’s a shame because I genuinely would like to give my money to support this game - I just don’t believe the price equates to the actual value..BramarcanVersion: 2.15.4

✓ The game is good but expensive.They added features like VIP tickets and Gold compared to the original game with just money to upgrade things. You also need to pay Supplies now for you to play. I have nothing against it apart that the tickets cost a lot. You can have extra gold if you run out with surveys etc but none for VIP tickets which you will need later at the Series finale. Speaking of the Series finale, that’s when things start to get expensive. There are 5 Levels and if you Lose between the Levels it resets. You start again to level 1. There was one instance when at Level 3 it gave me the option to use up my gold as an option to extend my time playing in a level. I just hope that they would reduce a notch on the tickets. It’s really expensive. Sadly I’ll have to wait until they’d do something about it before I continue playing..Nekosan0286Version: 2.26.6

✓ Cash grabThis game would be 5 stars if it was still possible to play the game without paying money. You have to spend so long collecting gold and as you progress it is harder and harder to upgrade as it’s more expensive. You need to be able to collect gold easier, I.e. maybe it drops randomly as you replay levels..Edith AsherVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Long time cooking dash fanI am a long time fan of Flo and her games. I played the original diner dash and cooking dash iPhone games and beat them completely. That helps me understand why they have added so much to the game (keeps it fresh, theoretically). But it is very overwhelming as a new user. This stuff should be gated and introduced slowly as you unlock more levels. Also, after beating all of the intro restaurant, I have not earned enough to open a new one. I guess I should not have been upgrading my appliances and such. I agree with another reviewer who said it is very hard to play this game without spending money, and that is a major disappointment for me. I am the queen of playing games like this without ever spending real money. I usually just grind along and have slower progress. But that is just not possible in this game. I would gladly buy a version of this game that did not offer in-app purchases or all the dang ads (and yes- they were not very present at first and now it is after every dang level). But oh well. That is not offered. I was happy to see Flo again, but she’s about to get deleted..Mynicknamename2222214Version: 2.17.4

✓ Way too complicatedGlu games have really over complicated this game. Between pets and prize wheels and outfits it’s impossible to make any telly progress. Trial of style is too challenging to be enjoyable since it’s so hard to progress. There aren’t enough ways to earn gold and since most of the old ways have been replaced by a prize wheel ( the daily one is almost insulting with the basic level prizes) which means you are never going to actually make progress or upgrade your restaurants in the game. Beginning to feel like a waste of time, upgrades need to be cheaper / prizes and rewards need to be higher and it needs to be less glitchy!!.Kamilah124Version: 2.19.4

✓ Visual problemsThe order of the customer cant be seen clearly there should be an option of zooming to see clearly what the customer is ordering. Big fan of diner dash.MeYm0nVersion: 1.3

✓ GoldSince the last update I can’t view any ads for free gold anymore. It’s been a long time since a new restaurant was available..Love pink dogs123Version: 2.26.6

✓ No videosI’ve been playing for a very long time and very disappointed the videos are gone to earn gold, very difficult to make any progress without buying gold which I refuse to do… time to give it away.PhillipGoudieVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Game is great but almost impossible to progress without spendingGreat game but it is almost impossible to progress before spending money to upgrade. No matter how efficient you are in the game it’s not possible to finish. I spent 200 episodes only to find I can’t progress to the next stage.Ninacookie91Version: 2.26.6

✓ Individual Restaurants take forever to downloadI really love this game and would really love to give it 5 stars because I play this for hours on end almost everyday but I have come across one issue. Every time I join all the restaurants say “downloading” even ones I have not purchased yet. To download the content of trial of style the game has to download the content of each restaurant in the game, which there are a lot of. Not to mention the download speed is very long. There is also no background downloading so you have to be on the main map screen for the restaurants to even beginning downloading, you can’t play levels while waiting for it to download. This whole process takes 30+ minutes in my experience and makes it unenjoyable to play since I can almost never play trial of style unless I want to wait 30 minutes. I would also agree with those that say this game is money hungry. Gold is very hard to receive in this game and you should have more ways in getting gold instead of paying or watching videos..Fire_fliesVersion: 2.22.6

✓ Has gone very downhillWe used to be able to watch ads and get free gold, now the venues are way too expensive and we dont get a chance to get free gold (whats needed to purchase venues and upgrades). Also they just changed their events from gaining 2-4 VIPS to basically 1/2 which they are needed in order to pass these venues if you don’t want to spend gold. It is obvious they are just wanting us to spend money and if not they’re making it beyond hard to thrive playing this game. Im over it..AngelesYaneVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Great game, shame about the ads and the multiple bugsThe game itself is amazing, if you can get a chance to play it without all the interruptions of the pop up ads. I started playing this game over 5 years ago but it’s so difficult to progress because the game is not managed well, there have been so many times I have lost motivation due to not being able to progress because of bugs on the game, I have lost vips, gold, tickets, trials and all sorts. The latest bug is the game doesn’t register your progress after a level is completed and any rewards obtained in that level just disappear, this has happened so many times now. I have contacted support and they gave me a few pieces of gold to compensate but really never fixed the issues. The issues have now become much worse, the game will shut down after every episode. I'm beginning to lose patience with this game, which is such a shame as the game itself is brilliant.Loulou x xVersion: 2.23.1

✓ CrashesIt was a really good game until it started popping up with the spins and news menu that I cannot exit out of. And also cannot use the free spin feature as soon as I press it the app crashes on me and tells me to contact support or something. Such a shame.DaniimmVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Disgusted with the Adult AdvertisementsI loved playing the good ol cooking dash but am disgusted with the advertisements that get put on here. I’ve deleted the game off my daughters IPad. You say it’s a game for ages 4+ but do you see the advertisement content especially for playing gambling and slot machines at 18+ the adult dialogue? Latest one had naked people depicted under lust and desire for adults. These are advertisements that pop up. It’s highly irresponsible and I’ve had enough..RobocopocopoVersion: 2.14.4

✓ Was fun but cannot progressStarted playing this game almost from the beginning. Fun game which is why I stuck with it for so long until recently. They need to fix the glitch that stops me from progressing and the game doesn’t recognise me finishing any level and register as unplayed while at the same time keep taking my boost which takes time to get. This can keep happening three, four times in a row and that’s if you are lucky. Restarting and updating the game doesn’t seem to do anything either! This has become frustrating and not fun anymore which is what an app should be about. Seriously considering deleting this game..HewliganVersion: 2.23.1

✓ Can’t make cheese nachosWas loving playing this game up until episode one, season 3 of Taco Train when it wouldn’t let make the cheese nachos. I can do the tutorial at the start of the level fine but then it won’t let me do it on my own. Now I can’t continue. Disappointing..Emd84657Version: 2.16.4

✓ Customer supportCustomer support is mediocre at best which unfortunately detracts from the game as it is too often required to contact, sometimes it seems like they’ve never played the game they work on..Francesca buVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Can’t get gold but still a goalI agree with previous recent reviewers. Everything costs so much gold and also daily goals include watching ads for gold but recently have not been able to watch any ads. If you’re going to turn off that feature then make the purchases cheaper, don’t include them in the daily goals or better yet just turn them back on. I assume they get paid if we watch the ads anyway...Slay__Version: 2.26.6

✓ Not working properlyIt’s been working fine since I started playing but now there’s a special two day event, and after completing one level, it cannot generate any of the additional levels :/.ElletunesVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Good fun but technical issue with adsIn the last week or two, despite being offered rewards for ads, every single time it says ‘Sorry no ads available right now.’ So they clearly have an issue with their ad network. This makes it tricky to progress in the game as you need the rewards to help you. Otherwise when things are normal, it’s great fun to play..NicoleKVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Good game but too money grabbingI’ve been a fan of Diner/Cooking Dash for years and this is a great game. However, the Ads (every second level) make it nearly unplayable. On top of this, the creators have made it that you NEED “gold” in order to upgrade appliances (and you need to do this to finish some levels in the game). However, the amount of gold given is nowhere near enough. Basically they want you to buy the gold. Either make users pay money or cover them in Ads, doing both is far too greedy. I’m very disappointed..MarlennyVersion: 2.1.4

✓ Sad and stressedThis game is boring when I first got it i found it ok but as time went on it was tacking ages to load and when I was playing the game it kept asking me questions like would you like to see pop up adds ! I said no but when I put that it came up with an add!!!! (Sad) Because the game has no fun things I think it is a waste of time no affence to the Makers (Stressed) At the start you have to unlock everything and it is the same thing over and over again.Danny and eva youtubeVersion: 2.16.4

✓ Addictive, but costs real money to progress and IT Support is terribleYou need to spend real money to progress anywhere. I had an issue that the game crashed every time I attempted to open a level. After 2 weeks of failed back and forth customer service the best they could suggest is hard reset and download again. Which I did. And it did not resolve the issue. They are now not responding to my request to resolve..ShaggymumVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Great game with continuous improvement, but please test throughly before launching the upgradesUsed to love this game all these time, after the latest app upgrade has been very frustrated, out of the replenished 50 supplies in the game, I can probably can only play one game, the game will take the supplies and crashed (sometimes along with the special recipes which takes days to prep) ... the Xmas game and Enzo Sushi most impacted, pls fix the bugs and make this a lovable game again. Thank you..Pikachu9876Version: 1.33.8

✓ Not what it used to beI love this game. Absolutely love this game. I didn't mind spending the money to play this game until spending money on this game is the only option you have to get gold or further your game play. (Breathe). On a daily basis you used to be able to collect gold by watching these (expletive) videos. I'd even supplement my habit by throwing money into the game for more gold (again, it's a great game). Now, if you're lucky when you watch a video you have a 50/50 chance of getting what they promised you'd received. I don't know who to compare this relationship to a bad boss, a deadbeat dad (only read about them, mine is great) or a loser bf. Either way it's disappointing, sad and not what it used to be in the beginning. Yea, these developers are the loser bf. Imagine if we all packed our bags and left. Yes, we'd sadly miss the abusive relationship but we'd have a tad bit more money in our pockets and our self esteem in tact (lollll. We would no longer be subject to your lies. Wait, I have to spend 300 gold to open up the last celeb spot in Jamaican Me Hungry? My upgrades are all at 100 and that's the only thing preventing me from getting a perfect score. Kiss my (expletive)..I want my gold!!!!!Version: 1.33.8

✓ Bugs outOnly recently this game has started to bug out. I would wait hours for a recipe to finish, go into an episode to play and then it bugs out and takes back to the main page. Which means, I lose supplies and the recipe that I’ve waited hours for! It’s also so hard to get gold... please make it a little easier to play this game because at this rate I’m just going to stop playing..BeccajuuVersion: 1.36.10

✓ Love the game, but the cost is insaneThe new addition of the trial of style is the biggest waste of time, money, gold, etc. you work for days to complete these levels, and the top three places get the premium (not even the top) wheel spin. Below that, you get ONE fast flow or something even less valuable. It only takes 4 hours (or less) to prep fast flow. Why would I want to work through like 20 levels to just get that? It’s not worth it, and you can’t use coins or gold to get tickets, but you have to use an insane amount to get through the trial of style. If I were the game makers, I would highly reconsider the reward for that much game play. This game itself is ridiculously addicting. What’s annoying is the amount of money it takes. I’m almost embarrassed at the amount of money I’ve spent over time. PlayStation games with far better graphics and intense game play still only cost $50-60. One could easily pay $100 or more to fully enjoy this game. It’s just a little asinine..Frankay101Version: 2.0.26

✓ Longtime Player, Payoff Not WorthI’ve been playing this game consistently for about 5+ years. I enjoyed the fast pace of it and the sometimes complex orders and steps it took to complete a meal. It wasn’t until last week that I finally completed and achieved everything. Then, a few days later while playing a Trial of Style, the app crashed. I didn’t play again until the next day, only to find out that everything that I did and worked for was gone. Never has this happened to me before after an app crash. I tried logging out and logging in to see if I could recover anything, even going so far as restarting my iPad, but nothing was there. After everything I’ve done, I can’t see myself playing this game anymore, due to the fact that they haven’t updated or added anything new recently, and because of my situation. It’s just the same old same old after you’ve finished everything. Thanks for the fun times and memories..Anonymous1229Version: 2.25.0

✓ YikesGreat game, but it’s a nightmare of micro transactions.Tsbj2000Version: 2.26.6

✓ Downhill..I used to love this game however now you can’t get the daily free gold because no videos load, and when they do load they freeze and don’t play and the only way to move past this is to exit the game and therefore lose that potential gold. With the trial of styles I’m ALWAYS in a game with people that are on a much higher XP level than me and on double the saucers making it impossible to ever be in the top 5 and so never win any prize wheels. The only thing not making me give it one star is the support team are mostly always helpful when I have an issue.Becca_LamVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Fun but…..Fun for the most part but after a while its harder to get more stars to unlock the next levels , you’re basically running in circles trying to get them to advance , its a frustrating game..Kaebae315Version: 2.26.6

✓ Good but went downhillI like cooking games. I like this one at the beginning but it was getting boring after a lot of levels. I liked having to dash around to get everything done, but two things started to go downhill. First, I thought they would have the next levels different from the rest, rather than pretty much repeating yourself. Two, the next levels started to crash, A LOT, which is obviously very annoying. If you like to repeat yourself, then get this. If not, I recommend that you don't.😔😟.#panda bearVersion: 2.1.4

✓ No way to advanceThis game is fun but unless you pay it is frustratingly impossible to get ahead in game..MbookguruVersion: 2.26.6

✓ GlitchI’ve enjoyed the game so far until the glitch cause me to lose grocery bags I saved up. I would lose 10 every time it glitches and I exit the game. Once I re-enter, I’m 10 grocery bags less..EpicPastyGamerVersion: 2.26.6

✓ DisappointingThere are so many reasons why I can only give this game 1 star. The main one is the fact that about 10 years ago I discovered the Flo games (diner dash, cooking dash and hotel dash) on the Big Fish website and they were not yet owned by GLU. You would pay to download the game for a one off cost - and then it was yours. Hours of addictive fun, able to pass the time away. Never having to worry about making an in app purchase just to progress or get the boosters you need to even finish a level. Ah they were simple times. Now you can’t find a Flo game for download anywhere. So imagine how excited I was when I found Cooking Dash in the App Store! Only to be totally totally disappointed when I realised that to even progress a little bit you basically have to fork out. Gone are long hours wiled away with Flo. What a bummer..Godeem32Version: 2.16.4

✓ Fun but..Fun game but hate how it takes ages to refill the grocery basket so you can play. Other than that it's a great game with challenges..CooooodudeVersion: 1.3

✓ Great gameI gave three stars because after the latest App Store update I haven’t been able to play my game in over a week. The screen is just frozen and won’t let me click on anything. So that’s -1 star Other -1 star is due to some of the upgrades for the restaurants ask for a lot of gold which isn’t always easy to come by.Stitch xoVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Fun BUTFun game but I noticed something about this game. All of the customers for the most part have a lot of patience. Except one, the only black character in the game. The one black character in the game you guys set to have the shortest patience, it’s also a female. You may not be aware but this plays into the stereotype of the angry black woman. For many this may be a reach, but representation matters if you want to be fair for all potential gamers. I also feel like this was intentional. Please fix this, it’s 2019 playing into stereotypes of the angry black woman shouldn’t be used in a game that’s for children who may have no contact with black folks outside of this game, then they’ll turn around and think black women are just angry. Once again to many this may seem like a reach, but positive representation matters especially when ALL of the white characters in this game hardly ever get angry..Kk1096Version: 2.19.4

✓ ScamReally hard to get anywhere without spending real money, which means the app is essentially not “free”, because it’s not playable after the first season..Musica209Version: 2.2.14

✓ Impossible to play for long without buying goldI with I could just purchase a game without all the damn in app purchases. They make it impossible to play after a while without buying some help you can’t pass a level. I got sucked in and spent ten dollars but it goes too fast! Dumb I’m over it. I’ll go back to games I can buy once!.IzzydeeesVersion: 2.26.6

✓ UPDATE ERASES YOUR PROGRESSI loved this game but it completely erased my progress after the new update. This was so upsetting....Vcc95Version: 2.23.1

✓ Progress is so slowYou just cannot move through the levels without having loads of gold which comes at a price! It would be better if levels could be achieved with just skill rather than gold. Once you've done initial new cooking it's incredibly slow and near impossible to get anything over one star! I only play when I have nothing else to do. Not addictive, just frustrating..Katyuk40Version: 1.35.6

✓ Can’t get through many levels without paying a small fortuneThis game used to be really good, thought I’d download the new version for something different, but you can’t get anywhere without paying a small fortune to continue. I rather just pay a fixed cost and have the full game instead of adverts everywhere all the time..Emily GriffithsVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Very unhappy with supportI have to say firstly that I am very upset to have to give this review as I do love this game. I have tried to get an adequate answer to a bug that has happened to my app, since Thursday and just either get ignored or told that my request is being escalated. I recently did an update to the app that took away one of the rewards I had worked hard to achieve (having the time cut for prepping fast flo!) I am appalled at the length of time taken to help me with this, getting the reward reinstated on my account!!! In the time that has gone since I filed my complaint, I could have prepared at least 40 more recipes! Careful of doing the updates, lest you lose your achievements and there is no one on the other end there to help you get it back.SuperMarketerVersion: 2.19.4

✓ TicketNo vip ticket .. how to play !!!.:5uh)$...Version: 2.26.6

✓ Not as good as it used to be.I’m a Diner Dash/Cooking Dash player from years ago. The concept of the time management game is a good one, but the in app purchasing is killing the best games. There’s a brand of time management games that I love; first 10 levels free, then one price to unlock the whole game...I love that concept so much better. I prefer something I can play for as long as I like, without having to worry about refilling lives, or not having enough money to progress. Sad to see so many games going down the path of constant in app purchases..ChumpessVersion: 2.1.4

✓ Fun but with a priceFun game but way too many ads. Either do ads or make people pay but the amount of time waiting is ridiculous to the benefit of it. Close to deleting the game because I don't want to spend money AND watch ads. Sort it out.CupaTee247Version: 1.8

✓ So frustrating.I’ve played this game for quite a long time now and honestly it’s gotten progressively worse. For starters as the game has been “updated” more and more adverts have appeared, making it virtually impossible to play the game. Everything you do is interrupted by ads and now daily challenges to win gold are also geared to watching ads ie “watch 7 free gold ads”. Each ad then automatically tries to drag you to the App Store to download a new game which is totally invasive and causes the game to glitch when you return to the platform. Secondly the game itself has developed a glitch wherein you will be 30/40 seconds into playing an episode and it will kick you back out to the location selection screen. Coincidently this will only occur when you have added on a VIP, which you have either had to purchase or waited up to 48 hours to prepared, this causing you to lose the VIP and anything you had earned in that 40 seconds. I contacted the app support and development team about this issue and had no acknowledgement or response. The game used to be so simple, but now added elements like outfits, pets, and lucky wheels are making it overly complex and far less enjoyable. A year ago I would have given this app 4 stars, but now I wish I could give it no stars. So frustrated. Don’t waste your time with this game..E1lzVersion: 2.11.4

✓ Always glitching & still not fixed 4 weeks laterSystem keeps crashing, have an iPad min gen 5, loads of free GB & high internet connectivity. Every time a trial of style or series finale update, I lose resources because the game doesn’t register my win. Just keep getting told that the team are aware of it & are working on it?! Same response 4 weeks later. This also happened to me last Christmas / New year. When I spend real money on a game I expect to be able to play / use all functions not get fobbed off. Haven’t even had all resources refunded nor compensation for loss of rewards & lose of milestones..Venus_100Version: 2.23.1

✓ Used to be Good, Now It’s Just BuggyI’ve been playing Cooking Dash/Diner Dash games since the very first one came out on PC and I’ve been playing since this app launched. While it does take lots of gold to update you do get 8 free ones per day by watching videos. I however have invested real money in the game (probably close to $100+). This game is interesting and addictive however since the latest update I haven’t been able to play the Trial Of Style events for almost a month. I know I’m not alone as a lot of the community have been posting about it too. It uses all my VIP tickets and boosts and doesn’t record my scores. Customer Service just keep saying they know about it and they’re working on it. That’s it. I think for a bug to be going on for a month is a bit ridiculous. Once the bug is fixed I’d rate this game 4.5..Jolz061Version: 2.23.1

✓ Bring back ads for goldThe upgrades are all really expensive and you took away our opportunity to watch ads and earn gold. Now the game will take me about 10 years to complete (not even an exaggeration, you’d need like 10,000 gold to complete everything and you can only earn 3 per day through daily tasks). So what’s the point in playing anymore? The other offers where you spend like 2 whole hours on a survey for 2 gold don’t cut it either. Offer more gold for the surveys or bring the ads for gold back to make the game still worth playing..DanierucakesVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Glitches Give You StitchesI was loving this game, becoming obsessed with it every time I started playing. Growing up with Diner Dash, this game was really exciting to have. Yet recently, the game glitches quite a few times. In order to play a round, you have to give in 10 grocery bags, like using a coin to play a game in an arcade. You have to be patient if you want more without having to pay for them. So I wait patiently all the time. But quite a few times, I used my grocery bags and I pressed play, and the game took me back to the main menu, where all the restaurants are. It made me upset, because it wouldn’t let me play, but it took the groceries I used to play as well... I keep playing, even though it happened 4 or five times more. But I became angry when I waited 6 hours for one of the power boosters that I prepared in the prep kitchen, and then used it to play and it did the same thing. I waited six entire hours. It’s probably just a glitch, but sometimes it feels as though that may be an intentional thing to get people to spend more money on a free app. I don’t like buying in-app purchases because if I ever lose my account, then what? And I was going to play with a booster just before writing this, and it did it again. This makes me furious, so I wouldn’t recommend this game until this problem gets fixed..SirKnowsALotVersion: 2.16.4

✓ No more goldUsed to love this game so much, but now it is impossible to get anywhere because you can't get free gold by watching videos anymore. Sad :(.Lgray2323Version: 2.26.6

✓ Used to be BetterI have been playing this game for over 4 years! I remember waiting for each individual stage to come out and the right side of VIP Valhalla didn’t even exist, this was way back before the map expanded to what it is today. This game has always been difficult to advance in. You have to watch a lot of ads to earn gold. I’ve cleared 17 restaurants (half of them with max stars) and can honestly say it is practically impossible to do so without spending gold for restaurant upgrades. You can earn up to 11 gold per day watching ads but some stages require hundreds of gold to upgrade its equipment! For instance, Cutie Cakes needs at least 1000 gold (or $50) for full upgrades. Multiply that by 39 restaurants and this quickly becomes the most expensive app you’ll own. I don’t mind spending money on games, I work for a gaming company so I understand and I want to support this game’s developers. I love the art and mechanics of this game. However, the monetization in Cooking Dash is really bad. The upgrades are way too expensive. It drives people away rather than entices them to spend money. Also, it seems like this company has started to put its efforts into their new game Diner Dash Adventures and are no longer developing new restaurants for Cooking Dash. Now, Cooking Dash has tons of bugs. The game crashes sometimes and is unplayable. Reaching out to support doesn’t help. This is so disappointing considering all of the time and money I’ve put into this game..MixiueVersion: 2.23.1

✓ Great game, AWFUL customer support and CRASHESThe cooking/dining dash games are great. The concept is great and there’s great variety in recipes and restaurants to keep things interesting. HOWEVER, there are SERIOUS downsides to this game which almost ruin it entirely - blatant money grabbing: you basically can’t advance without lots of gold. Realistically, more gold than you could earn within a reasonable amount of time which means you need to buy it - game often crashes meaning you lose recipes you’ve taken hours or even DAYS to prep. Customer service replaced a recipe “as a courtesy” however why is this a courtesy when it’s a problem within the game? It’s not my fault the game crashes! Ridiculous! Basically if you haven’t started playing this game yet - DON’T.Ol_galVersion: 2.18.2

✓ Good game but bugs need to be fixedLove the game, however sometimes I’ll notice after finishing a level, I won’t receive the coins I made for that level - the game. Malfunctions and I have to delete the app and download it again for it to work properly again. Definitely a bug that needs fixing. Besides that, the games very fun but I’m not too keen on how much gold you require to finish the game or even unlock new venues..Improve ffsVersion: 2.23.1

✓ Neglected gameI have been playing to this game for over 10 years. Updates have stopped, videos to get free gold have stopped, less and less gold are available now in the game as a reward unless you buy them; the same issue with the tickets. This used to be my favourite game as it is challenging and entertaining at the time, however you can tell that developers want only money in exchange..MelamelitaVersion: 2.26.6

✓ It was super fun, but now it’s too hard to get goldLike other people have noticed, it’s harder to get free gold. Sometimes the videos don’t reward you, there are no other offers available (for the last two months at least) and they’ve changed the daily reward for a spin of the wheel - which hardly ever lands on gold. I wish it went back to how it was with the daily prize, chance to win gold, xp, 10,000 in coins..NissaNicoleusVersion: 2.1.4

✓ MisleadingThis game offers many ways for users to gain “gold bars” unfortunately. They are fake sites that steal your information and data history. Beware of this misleading game. Although it may be entertaining, you encounter many pop ups stating to “purchase” every 3 minutes. By accident you may click it.Misleading and Steal dataVersion: 2.26.6

✓ So disappointedI have been playing this game for over 10 years. In that time I have invested real money. I have been also taking advantage of the offers for free gold both by watching ads and completing special offers. Over the years, it has been harder to get free gold to continue playing but recently, the ability to watch ads for gold has been removed also. So in addition to spending money and being a loyal player I get very minimal offers and rewards. I understand that everyone needs to make money but I think the developers need to look at the rewards they’re giving. One bar of gold for a daily challenge is pretty pathetic. Also, serve one million customers (on average there’s about 12 customers per game) to earn 25 supplies (equal to 2.5 games). Gee thanks for nothing..HelzafVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Micro transaction zoneSad to see this game become a micro transaction hellscape. Otherwise a nostalgic and entertaining time management series, but yeah—it’s kinda messed up they start you off with a stockpile of stuff for awhile until it’s gone then it’s $$$..MadisonrogersVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Fun but ridiculous!So let's start by saying I absolutely loved this game I came acrossed it from an add on another game and downloaded it immediately as it intrigued me right away! It started off very well and made sense now as I'm trying to get past the first level I thought I was terrible at it and had to spend real life money just to get by. I came over to read the reviews to find its not me who is the problem it's the design of the game that sets you up to fail. I think if you're going to make a game it should make sense! For example why am I able to earn the stars & coins necessary to get ahead no problem in the beginner levels but as it gets harder my reward is less? That makes no sense don't you think? Also, for as many VIP tickets you need to get passed tale steaks for your game to not help with rewarding those thru out the game is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Hopefully after all the reviews that have been shared someone makes a change. I definitely won't be playing anymore since I now know it won't get me anywhere..Bicha_unikaVersion: 2.16.4

✓ Keeps loadingLoved the game, but lately all it does is load every day! Every day I open it, it says it needs to load the content and spends hours doing it. It only loads while open and running, so that takes even longer. And while it loads, it messes up my internet connection and other apps can’t use internet! I even tried to access customer service in the app and it said there was no internet connection! I thought they would fix it, but it has been a while so I guess I’ll just delete it..Lele PizarroVersion: 2.4.8

✓ Seriously what is with these ugly food upgradesWhy is it that almost all food upgrades are so hideous.. The more I upgrade it the worse it looks. WHY IS EVERYTHING GREEN IN TACO TRAIN!! It's so off-putting Also can’t stand how complex everything is now... makes me lose interest. I literally only ever want to play the steak one and the taco one.Ching CaoVersion: 2.4.8

✓ No more ads for goldI stopped playing because they don’t have ads to watch for gold and no other way to eat gold so there is no way to advance in the levels. Really stupid thing to have that taken away..HuygvftviyvtfhhhhVersion: 2.26.6

✓ No reward for watching videosAnother update: The problems I stated below still haven't been fixed and yet there's a bug for the daily goals. Today, I completed all 3 daily goals and was supposed to get the wheel spin prize. However, at the daily goals page, it says I only completed 1 out of 3 goals when obviously I completed 3. Developers really need to read all these reviews and fix these problems or else people might stop playing your game. Update: I started a game at Medieval Dines: Bavaria Fest, but just seconds after I started the game, it forced me out of that level and the supplies and VIP I used were lost. The game itself didn't crash, but there's just this small glitch that forces back out of the level I'm playing, I don't know if it's only this certain level or the game itself. Please fix this error. It used to be guaranteed a gold or amount of time to prep recipes reduced. But now every time I watch a video to earn gold or to reduce the time to prep recipes, I never receive the gold or the amount of time to prepare recipes stays the same. Developers need to recognize this bug in the game and fix it. Players wouldn't want to waste time watching videos just to get nothing back in return. They also need to realize that gold is very hard to get, everything costs a lot of gold as you unlock more restaurants, but gold being rewarded is not enough for even 1 upgrade. This needs to be fixed in order for players to enjoy the game..ATMM16Version: 2.0.26

✓ Always crashesThis game is actually fun. However for the last few months it keeps reloading itself when In the middle of a game or when you’ve just gone into a game using one of your VIPs and supplies it takes you right back out and your VIPS and supplies are gone! VIPs takes forever to gain and yet this always crashes for some unknown reason, no updates to fix problems either. Now I can’t even enjoy it without being annoyed! 😒.TurtleowlstoryVersion: 2.25.0

✓ Glitches still not fixedThis was a fun game but there is an issue with the Trial of Style events. I can’t participate in them which would allow me to earn extra items. I contacted customer support who told me they are aware of the problem and working on it. This has been going on for months. If your not going to fix it just say. Not playing anymore as cannot fixed.AussiewestcoastgirlVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Terrible customer serviceI purchased a bundle off the game but the content did not show up on my account. Have now been chasing them up for TWO WEEKS trying to get my purchases uploaded on my game and their customer service keeps going round and round in circles and I still don’t have the bundle I spent $15 on! Really disappointing and a big waste of my time..IbmflloakVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Impossible to playI’ve always been a fan of these games but honestly it is impossible to enjoy this game as it is so difficult to pass levels without spending money. You need gold for everything, and it is so hard to get gold. Each new venue (which you have to purchase with gold in order to play) gets harder and harder to get more than 3 stars. You should really make some changes so we can continue to play.Ad2229Version: 2.25.0

✓ BrokenPlayed this game for about two years. Recently every time I tried to open the game it would tell me that it failed to download the game content and I would have to wait for about ten minutes while it downloaded each restaurant again. This happened every time I wanted to play. I contacted the in game support who told me just to reinstall the game. I did this and now have lost two years worth of progress. And the problem is still there, it still has to download all the game content every time I want to play. Rubbish, can’t play it anymore.Saljd89Version: 2.7.11

✓ Fell to the paywall plague, buggy, abandonedMight as well consider the game abandoned since they know about its issues and dont do anything about them, besides vip events being messed up (among other things) the game still says you can watch an ad for gold but doasnt actually offer one, the button is completely gone. hopefully just a bug bcuz anyone who thinks the people who where watching them would go through all the effort of those “other offers” options about downloading other games that everybody knows never actually work anyway or even paying for it instead of just stopping playing is an idiot. thought this would be one of the few old nostalgia type games to survive killing itself by slamming all its users with paywalls but apparently it was just going a little slower than all the others..Jem-4Version: 2.26.6

✓ Way too difficult to get goldIt’s such a fun game and I always find myself redownloading it every few months, until I remember the reason I deleted it in the first place. The ratio of earning gold to spending it is way off! As you get farther in a venue, passing the levels with perfect stats becomes near impossible without a ton of upgrades, which all require so much gold that I just don’t have. ALSO, the VIP tickets. Tell me why it took a damn week for me to finish the series finale, all because I can only get a max of TWO VIP tickets every few hours, and the final level costed 15 TICKETS???? Then, I feel as though I’ve reached a dead end as delete the game before I even beat the taco venue. Though I’d love to try out the other venues, I literally can’t afford them LOL. Just a huge a money grab and not enjoyable or recommended for casual players..BabyforeignVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Big trouble to download after update every time !Hate this!.Samsam459Version: 1.19.12

✓ False advertisingAs others have said, the game itself is fun. In order to get to new levels you need lots of gold. You need it to upgrade your restaurant. You can purchase gold with real money or there are, “Free” offers. These are managed by an unethical company, TapJoy. Free offers are usually very time consuming. If you want your reward you need to screenshot everything, even with doing that they will not always give you your rewards. There are several misleading and fraudulent advertisements on the site. It will say, enter an e-mail and answer a short survey. That short survey is never ending and takes you to a million more questions, prompting you to give them all your information and trying to sell you a multitude of items. One offer was to download a game and get to a certain level. It took me a month as the game was awful, then I never got my reward. Then I downloaded Tinder for a free two day trial. Tinder required my credit card information. Fine. I was charged three times, by three different companies the first night (so no free trial).This caused my credit card company to put a fraud alert on my credit card. Tinder never gave me an account. Even with a screenshot of the charges, TapJoy would not give me my gold. They say to contact Tinder , who has yet to respond after a week. TapJoy doesn’t always respond either. GLU says, contact TapJoy. Seriously, considering deleting the game, depending on if I can ever get my issue resolved..Squishie2016Version: 2.19.4

✓ Stars to hard to getUsed to love the old format of this game! Since they added pointless wheels, which keep changing so don’t actually gain anything, and outfits it’s become increasingly frustrating. Don’t mind buying stars now and again, but would have to spend a fortune to get very far at a worthwhile pace!.Nikki8185Version: 2.26.6

✓ Beware the scam!!!’This was my all time favorite game. Not anymore! There will be no more updates to games or levels (their words), daily tasks to earn gold are set up so you can’t complete them (watch three videos; they’ve admitted they’ve turned them off!!! 😡😡) and customer service gives a politicians answer or doesnt reply at all. Save yourself real money and stress and download another cooking game!.OneruckerVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Last update not workingApp not working since last update. You finish a level but it doesn’t register..Justme2000Version: 2.23.1

✓ Very difficult to get goldThis game is now useless, unless they provide more gold. They remove the 8 free golds from the videos. It will now take a least a month to just get 30 golds to upgrade one item. They tell you to buy gold or watch 3rd party videos where you have to spend $. I do not have the time nor the money to spend on this. It use to be a good game but now it is useless. So sad..CmoaklerVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Poor response to issuesContacted the support team as I hadn't received gold bars earned by fulfilling one of the offers in the app. They responded stating that at their end it showed as being 'paid', I replied stating I still did not have the gold bars. I followed their instructions and no gold bars. I have emailed since, and have had zero reply to any of my emails since. I still have not had the gold bars show up at my end and a lack of response tells me that they don't care about sorting out issues..EnzedKiwiVersion: 1.31.5

✓ Shame on Glu2 stars because you can play about a week before you would wind up spending more and more money to progress. I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks, and I loved it, but I’m about to quit. The first level is easy to get through and basically free, but as you progress with each level, you need more and more gold. The offers to earn free gold will never be enough to allow progress at any reasonable level without spending money…and lots of it. I’ve forked over some cash—developers have to eat, companies need revenue—because it’s a fun game, but I’m curious how many people have gotten sucked into this game and had money sucked out of them because it’s so easy to purchase something with your thumb. I’m about done with this game. I’d pay a small amount for each restaurant, but if you monetize the amount of gold required to complete a restaurant based on the “purchase” to open it and upgrades, you’re looking at $2.99 per game and it will take you a several days earning free gold to get past the first season of restaurants after the 2nd one. Glu must be making money, but they may make more by considering reasonable price points that would encourage players to continue..CalamitiesVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Gone down hillOkay this game has come along way. There been ups and downs. I’ve ignored that my progress in buying the ingredients in the sushi game has gone. I have nothing apparently but I completed all the levels. And recently, I have not been able to connect my progress to Facebook and save it. What is going on Cooking Dash? Please fix your bugs and compensate others who have had issues like mine. You know it isn’t easy to get gold. I don’t want my progress gone. I enjoy the game but may not continue if things like this keep happening.MarshmallowLemonadeVersion: 2.5.2

✓ Great game spoiled by issuesI absolutely loved every game with Flo, from Diner Dash Classic to Hotel Dash, so i decided Cooking Dash was worth a shot. The game is very fun; its layout is creative and the premise is challenging, but still enjoyable. The problems come in with glitches and game mechanics. Firstly, videos often do not give rewards as they as supposed to. Secondly, it is very hard to get anywhere after the first show/restaurant, Table Steaks. I was unable to get more than 1 star on many levels in the Eats for Earth restaurant even with upgrades. It is implied that you must spend real money to get anywhere in the game, which I (along with many other players) refuse to do. Thirdly, the game has glitches. I recently experienced a glitch where the game suddenly gave me (no exaggeration) 8,000,000 experience and leveled me up nonstop. I am unable to leave the Level Up screen, and I am unable to play the game any longer due to the inescapable screen. If this game was adjusted, it would easily earn 5 stars. However, due to its issues, it is only worthy of 2 stars. It’s a shame that such a good game is ruined by its monumental issues..*%^^#*Version: 2.1.4

✓ Unplayable since newest updates.After playing the game for 4 years I’ve finally given up. Once your restaurant levels are completed, all there is left to doniz wait for the frequent’Trial of Styles’. Since the newest update, the trail of styles are unplayable to IOS users due a repeated server error message and customer service no longer reply to questions and complaints. I’m slowly losing all the progress I made and my choices are sit back and watch or delete the game. So if you’re thinking of downloading this, don’t waste your time..Bluue78Version: 2.22.6

✓ No longer in goldThe new update moved everything that was in gold back to silver even though they’ve been completed ages ago. And you lose the Trial of Style Saucer if you don’t keep it going every time there’s an event. Surely you should just get the saucer after all that work and not have to keep doing it? Especially if there are restaurants that you haven’t purchased yet that stand in the way. Fix this please or it won’t be worth playing anymore..Neo WickVersion: 2.11.4

✓ Money hungry, and lies.When I played this game for the first time I thought it was quite nice. Over time I got more and more into the game and I saw the bad side. I decided to that I should get gold. I didn’t want to pay, so I decided to watch a video. When I’m done with the video I look and see I had the sane amount of gold I did before. I call customer service and they say a bunch of lies and then say “Maybe just uninstall and reinstall the app. We have data saved.” I then do that and NO DATA WAS SAVED! I spent a lot of time on that. I call customer service again and they claim “We never told you to do that. We’re sorry for this event.”....What? They tell me to uninstall and reinstall the app, then claim that they never told me to do that? I then asked, “Well can I at least have the gold that I called for in the first place?” And they’re response is, “We don’t remember a call from yesterday coming from this. We are sorry but the only this to do is assume you won’t free gold”. And they left. That day, I uninstalled the app and never, will I play that game again..Ala6182Version: 2.11.4

✓ Love/hate the gameI really enjoy cooking dash and have for years but this version has SO MUCH going on. There’s an ad after most games you play and sometimes I’ve had to close the app because of them (I can’t quit them or they play in the background of the game). I also have to keep putting the game down to wait for coins to load so can only play a few rounds at a time. It’s clearly trying to get you to spend money on coins to get ‘extras’ or to be able to continue playing..LollyodVersion: 2.4.8

✓ I liked it but not anymore...I really like the game itself but I am no longer able to play the game as every time I am about to start a level it crashes out of the game. I really liked playing the game but I can not play it anymore. Please consider fixing this problem. I honestly do not recommend this game as at first I really loved it but after the third day of installing this game it only glitches out..QishehwknveisjdvkandbVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Needs bugs fixed asapI love this game but recently haven’t been able to watch any videos to get rewards. Makes the whole game average!!.Shoery1010Version: 2.26.6

✓ Reviews are spot onThe game itself is as good as the old diner/cooking dash, but there’s physically no way to advance levels without gold. Despite how great your diner/cooking dash skills have been thus far, it’s set up so that you don’t get enough coins from the dishes unless you upgrade. Or Flow is so super slow that you can’t reach the meals quickly enough before they burn. It’s blatantly designed to get you to spend hundreds of dollars. It’s not even the fact that it’s a blatant money grab. But the exorbitant amount of money you’d need to spend. It’s not sustainable and a true disappointment. Please don’t waste your time or funds..KitiaraNYCVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Load only restaurants you’re playingIt takes forever to download all the restaurants just so you can play only the restaurants you have access to. Should only need to download what’s relevant to my game play..CookingdasherVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Waste of time if bug isn’t fixedI have one more level to get over four stars on to move to the next part of the game and it will not let me play that level so I can move on. It will close the entire app every time I try to play that level.. super frustrating. Fix the bug please!!!.RainebanksVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Too expensiveI used to love this game and have been playing it for over a year now but I’ve noticed that it’s too hard to earn gold and you have to keep paying to buy more gold for upgrades and without paying for those upgrades you can’t get 5 star and therefore can’t get more gold and even if you get the gold it’s still not enough. So ridiculous..Mb848827Version: 2.26.6

✓ Super disappointedPlayed this game for years but they recently removed ability the earn gold by watching ads, making it very difficult to make progress without buying gold….MtlJadeVersion: 2.26.6

✓ A SCAMYou can only make it so far into the game until you have to start buying gold. And the cost is way too high for it’s worth!! The Dash games used to be so good. Now they’re just a money grab 🤦‍♀️.EatsCowVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Game crashes a lot & terrible customer care support teamVery disappointing level of support. It takes days for the customer care team to come back to me when I report an issue. Customer care team also seems to require screenshots when you report an issue during gameplay which is ridiculous. Why would anyone take a screenshot or even have the time to while playing a high-paced game. Although I lodged my complaint twice, I still received the same response insisting on a screenshot. Please do not bother with this game..WhybotherupdatingVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Glitch?Downloaded the game today but couldn't get passed the first part of preprepped kitchen despite several attempts of closing and opening the app again!.EleajsbdnsVersion: 1.25.11

✓ Nothing worksYes it’s fun. But as everyone else has been stating, it is super expensive if you want to advance to level 4 of a restaurant. It is really not about your skill at all, because the developer made it so that the only way you can move on to certain level is by upgrading either equipment or ingredients which is costly. Say you think you will play as fast as you can and memorize the sequence of food order, still you realize that you can’t move up if you do not upgrade. Other problem, I used to just play ad to get free gold (about 8 a day). Now the videos are not even working. So no more free gold... ridiculous. Here’s the break down. You will need about 750 gold at least to get min 3 golds on all level for 1 restaurant. That is about $50 plus some free gold. Multiply that with the number of restaurant, wow, you can actually buy a used car... Note, the program of the game is actually almost similar with all the restaurants. You were just given different setting, and ingredients, etc, n you are playing similar game over n over again. Pssst... And they think we don’t know that... We do. I’m writing this to campaign: not to feed the greeds....Reeen11Version: 2.11.4

✓ Great game but gold reward scheme is awfulI love playing this game and I don't even mind watching ads for gold or doing activities for gold, but recently I followed one of the reward activities by downloading and playing another app til I reached a certain level. Was promised 714 gold bars and I spent a week playing constantly to get it... so now that I've done it, it says it's rewarded but low and behold no gold!!! Absolutely ridiculous when they make everything revolve around gold but don't even follow through on the ways to earn it! Boycotting this game to avoid further wasting my time!.KuhfwdcjkmfaxbvjVersion: 2.14.4

✓ BurgauI have been playing this game for years now and am progressing slowly. It had improved a lot over time so that you were not forced to buy anything to make progress, be it slow. There were several ways to earn gold and VIP tickets. However, since the last upgrade you are not able to earn gold by watching adverts. This means that instead of earning eight or nine gold bars a day you can now only earn 3 unless you use your VIPs (and these only give gold once in a blue moon). Very disappointing for those of us who can’t afford to buy gold..BabsburgauVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Used to be greatLike others, I have been playing this game since the first one was on PC and since this app was released. Ever since their new game came out (which I don’t like) there have been bugs in this game with do not get fixed. I tried to save my game and lost over a year worth of progress. I got an apology and received 10 gold. I had calculated losing about 700 gold, some of which I had spent real money on during this time. There is also a bug when playing Trial of Style (tournament) where your progress is not saved. Again, each time I complain and I’m told they know and credit me lost VIP tickets but usually after the event has ended. The makers don’t appear to care about this game or it’s users anymore which is a shame, as I would have rated it 5 but now rate it 3.5.Anon JLFVersion: 2.23.1

✓ Always crashingI love this game but it’s crashing all the time! It’s really annoying, the customer service keeps telling me to do the same thing (enough space on your device? Any apps running in the background?), and it always crushes at one venue so it seems like a glitch on their end. Save your time and money and dont download (as everyone pointed out here if you want to progress you have to pay).Anna305MiamiVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Frustrating Gold Rewards Scheme Ruined an Otherwise Good GameThe game had so much potential and was fun, but I couldn't overlook the terrible gold rewards scheme. Although the game itself was enjoyable, the issues I faced with receiving promised rewards are quite upsetting. Firstly, I encountered multiple instances where I wasn't able to receive the rewards I was promised. While one of these problems was eventually resolved, the others remain unresolved. One particular incident stands out, where the game indicated that I was rewarded, but I NEVER received the promised gold. Despite reaching out to both Tapjoy and the game's support, they failed to provide any assistance. They kept repeating that they couldn't do anything since the reward was marked as "rewarded," completely disregarding the fact that I never actually received it. It was frustrating to see them dismiss my concerns without listening. As if that wasn't enough, the game's health insurance comparison task, which promised 5 free golds (which I also didn't receive), has become a nightmare. I'm now being bombarded with relentless phone calls from different numbers, saying they’re from the said health insurance comparison. It's an invasion of my privacy and really frustrating. I hope the developers address these issues promptly, as they are currently tarnishing an otherwise good game..Lexisb.Version: 2.26.6

✓ Don’t waste your timeI used to love this game. But I believe the creators have been super greedy with money this app which is really disappointing since it has the potential to be a great game. You will never get enough gold to complete any of the stages. Even if you purchased gold the cost is ridiculous and might allow you to complete maybe one restaurant (if that). So disappointing. Maybe try and support your players by giving them better bonuses. For the amount of levels there are I think it’s a really poor effort that you haven’t tried to make it easier to unlock levels by now..CsbbbsVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Bring back ads for gold! All about the ££££Played this for several years now; it’s a really well thought out game - fast action and also patience to progress fully. It keeps me coming back. Shame is though, they have recently removed the ads for in-game gold feature. My complaint about this was met with an offensively condescending reply, that I could either buy the gold tokens (this is the only game I ever have btw), or use the special offers for the gold. The special offers are all either selling personal details, signing up for subscription services or blatant scams (you know the type, where you have to scroll through 50 pages of adverts to answer 10 stupid questions). No thanks! I think it’s a real shame the developers aren’t on the side of their long term customers. Blatant move for more £££££..321HatVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Always crashingSince updating the game yesterday I can no longer play the game. It crashes constantly on opening. In game message said to contact customer service however on doing so I was told to reboot my modem or try a different Wi-fi connection. It has nothing to do with this. I’ve tried to play the game in several locations over he last 24hours and it doesn’t matter what the connection is the game crashes every time. Not happy after having spent around £40 in game for a game I can no longer play!.Hobbes130Version: 2.7.11

✓ GameTakes too long to get gold :(.Shanny2345Version: 1.33.8

✓ Ridiculously expensive and no fun anymoreI have been playing this for a couple of years and have loved this game. It's got expensive to finish levels with 5 stars and serve all customers but the latest level seems impossible. I've upgraded everything, have the level chef and still can't complete it even with three VIP kitchen recipes. Once my golds gone so am I.DottypantsVersion: 1.33.8

✓ Last update is a failBeen playing lots and I really enjoy it, but seems like the new update is glitchy..Knitty5Version: 2.23.1

✓ IrritatingIt’s quite irritating when it offers you rewards if you watch a video only for it to then say “no videos available try again later” 🤦‍♀️ I then completed some of the “other offers” for gold which includes surveys etc and got nothing! Such a rip off!!.MaddiibeanVersion: 2.25.0

✓ A lot of bugs & can be heavily pay to play.The game recently had a thanks giving event with some really good rewards on offer for completing tasks. I played quite a bit during this time to get the rewards and there was a bug in game that meant I didn’t receive any of them. This is not the first time I’ve experienced bugs in the game & customer support give generic responses with little help. I’m really disappointed after putting so much time in to the game to see how many bugs there can be and how little resolution there is. I would not recommend playing..Mr WakeyVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Finally have to say i’m done with this game...After playing on and off for about 3 years now, i’m deciding to put it down. plainly, it’s too money hungry. no matter how strategic your moves are, the game is formulated so that it’s impossible to get even 3 stars on some levels, much less the most desirable 5 stars. the only way to get them is by using gold to upgrade appliances and food worth etc. it has NOTHING to do with how good you are at playing after a while! it’s just a mind game! in-app purchases are constantly shoved in the players face, with crazy unrealistic expectations to obtain the stupid clothing/pet/auto chef wheel deal prizes. they continue to add restaurant after restaurant hoping to peak your interest to cash out another 25 gold just to unlock it, for you to inevitably find out that you’re beginning down a brand new cycle of having 0 upgrades. as a player, accept that you will NEVER complete every set of stars/golden saucers/outfit or whatever other set of accomplishments they put in front of you. ugh! i like fun mobile games and choosing to support companies through in-app purchases, but this not fun anymore!.NewsoulwhodisVersion: 2.7.11

✓ Events not workingI love this game but it gets harder as it progresses and the events which are the only chance to get vips are not working for me. They stopped working months ago and every time I reach out to customer service they tell me they are aware, yet no changes have been made..Yarine_perniVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Requires goldThe game requires gold for upgrades and it’s hard to get gold. You can’t even watch a video for the gold. You would either have to buy them or do “tasks” outside the game like a survey or subscription..KethigaVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Normally, a 5 starNormally, I'd give this game a 5 star rating. However, since buying the country fried cottage venue, it's been issues. I cannot play that venue, so I lost out on the limited days to complete for prizes trophies. Then Valhalla's venue began to crash the entire game every time I attempted to play that venue. Multiple days in a row I missed out on the daily goals because they required you to serve so many customers in that venue. Now, I've lost at least two more venues if not three. I've gone from a daily player to just barely getting on. Very disappointed in the results of their updates. To add to these previous issues, that did finally get resolved the game keeps logging me out of Facebook and I have to take pictures of everything I have send them to them to get logged back in, with progress. However, I lose whatever I made between the pictures and them fixing things, or can’t play for days to a week. Then I lose anything I earned while waiting for them to fix my account where it can link back to Facebook. Yet I have continued to play..SalsaAbuVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Long time player, not sure if I will continueThey recently took away the option to earn free gold by clicking ads, so you can only earn up to 3 gold per day now by completing the daily goals. This makes it almost impossible to play the game without spending money because the upgrades average about 15-30 gold for a tiny incremental upgrade. I’ve been playing this game since maybe 2015 and have spent probably more than two hundred dollars on this game to buy gold and supplement what I was getting by clicking on ads. I haven’t spent a single cent since they stopped offering that and I will not ever again because the upgrade prices just don’t make sense and are not sustainable. Additionally, this game hasn’t come out with any new restaurants or recipes or game mechanics in YEARS. They just keep restarting the trial of style every 2 days and the recipes take way too long to prep. It’s just not fun or exciting to play anymore. It’s pretty clear they’re either trying to kill the game or grab some quick cash from players and it feels like a slap in the face. I could buy a more fleshed out video game for $60, so I might just delete this one altogether..Athena WilliamsVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Good bars are a must yet hard to come byI have been playing this game for a few months now and I've fallen in love with it, however the Gold wall where u go to get free food by completing different task doesn't always work and sometimes I'll break my neck to do a task waiting for hours to get my reward and a lot of time i don't. Also now the Gold wall to get coins isn't working it's been an issue all day. This game was once fun but it be better if the gold bars were a bit easier to come by especially when it comes to upgrades. I can already tell with this game that eventually I'll stop playing all together and delete the app you guys seem to take the fun out of it I don't want to spend real money on a game when the coins go so quickly please make it a bit easier or I'll just delete and free up some space on my phone. Update: what ever happend to the extra finale and “buying flo clothes” that you guys added on and took away? Why does the app take so long downloading restaurants I can’t even play the game because I have to wait for them to download I’m beginning to get tired of this game where I see myself deleting the app completely.Miss_eyez87Version: 1.36.10

✓ Maps are better than coinsThis having to buy coins it terrible what happened to just buying maps?.Lee2525Version: 2.19.4

✓ Cooking Dash GoldI’ve been playing cooking dash on and off for years, it used to be one of my favourite games but it’s gotten to a point where it’s impossible to progress because everything costs so much gold, and they got rid of ads so you can’t even get gold through ads! if i even were to buy gold with money it would be gone instantly because almost everything- from upgrades to restaurants- costs a ridiculous amount of gold. It’s possible to gain gold through completing achievements, but it’s not nearly enough for all the upgrades. I cant even progress in other shows i just bought because the upgrades are too expensive. They need to at LEAST bring back ads for gold and lower the costs of upgrades in terms of gold, and make achievements that are achievable- because most require you to have a certain amount of upgrades (which also cost gold) - which give more gold. The game has become unplayable and I basically can only replay Table Steaks and Taco Train. Really sad because I loved this game.MagicSwirlsVersion: 2.26.6

✓ Can’t Progress Without Spending MoneyI really loved this game at first! If you spend on upgrades wisely, (not needed after every single level, only when you can’t complete a level with 3 stars) then the game is fairly easy but still challenging enough. I was able to complete all the levels in the first restaurant with full stars (can’t remember if it’s 3 or 5) but then before you can open a new restaurant, you have to do a series of 5 special levels. You spend VIP tickets to enter these levels. I failed on the 3rd round and it made me start over back to round 1. But the kicker is... I didn’t have enough VIP tickets to play again. So I went to the store to see if I could watch an add, trade my coins, or do anything to earn more tickets but the ONLY way to get them is to spend money. The least amount was $1.99 which isn’t bad, but I wondered how many other times this would happen where the only way to progress is to spend money. It starts to add up. So I decided to quit while I was ahead and deleted the game! Such a shame! Purchases should be optional for players who want to get ahead faster, not required for anyone who wants to play at all!.PullkatVersion: 2.19.4

✓ Money HungaryThis game is money Hungary. I’ve had this game since it came out and have had to reset it 50 plus times because no matter what you do, you can’t win. You spend tons of money and upgrade your tail off and still ya can’t win. It takes months to get anywhere and you can’t even barely win the competitions! I’ve almost fully upgraded restaurants and even bought the auto chef. And served everything fast and perfectly, still lose. Over and over. I used to waitress for 20 plus years, and bartended, too. I was the cook, waitress, chef maid and all, and I’m now a professional chef... They call me The Tasmanian devil, “Taz”... because I could spin circles in the restaurant and serve perfectly and speedy, and I was so smiley and chipper and made people’s day, they called me the perfect waitress. So I can run circles around this game and if in real life they were really the waiter,cook, chef, whatever, they could not run circles around me at all in the real world. And one more thing, if ya mess a plate up, in the real world you can set it down. And remake and wrap the food and save it or sell for someone who needs it. You can set it down, right? Well not in the game. Real not real world at all. I’ve found way better cooking games that don’t take your money and run..Sugar Sweet KCVersion: 2.9.15

✓ Too many bugsI love this game and I don’t actually think it’s too hard to progress. I’ve unlocked most levels and got a good amount of upgrades without having to pay for anything. It’s very addictive and generally well made. HOWEVER - there are constant problems with bugs, to the point where I can’t open half of the restaurants, and now I actually cannot even load the game thanks to a problem with the ‘trial of style’ new feature. Unless it’s sorted soon I’ll be deleting it..Goldierocks007Version: 2.0.26
