Awesome game! But...
Sun Nov 10 2019 astar175It’s a really great app. There are changes, but most of them are neutral or positive changes. The changes to the money for careers are interesting and give a much wider difference between highest and lowest paying jobs. There is no better feeling than pulling brain surgeon and raking in 150k per payday. I also wasn’t expecting being able to play with computers, but it’s nice that you can. Although I do wish that you could online play with friends with separate devices. Maybe you can and I just haven’t noticed. The only thing that I wish was better is customization. There isn’t that many customizable things that affect gameplay. It would be nice if you could alter things like how much money careers are worth, what action cards you could get, house price, and more. I would very much like to be able to choose which quick ending I get as well. I could say more, but this review is getting long. Overall, do I recommend this app? Well I did give 5 stars so that kind of gives it away, but either way, I do. Even as it is, it is a great app and 600 times better than going to Walmart and buying the game for $20 and then needing to set it up and deal with actual cards.
Great game
Mon Aug 03 2020 GraysonThao27This is a really and I mean really fun game but the computer people see I don’t don’t know if they are real people but if they aren’t you should be able to play with real people around the whole entire world that would be great but besides that this is a amazing game keep up the great work and I won’t to let you know that you are one of the best games I ever played so keep up the great work and I hope you stay healthy and safe you guys are amazing and one more thing and can you pls try to make the board longer at least try because I feel like the game is pretty short and I would like to do a lot more stuff in the game so bye and thank you for making this game be as fun as possible and this is great you can play offline I believe so if you are in a car with no WiFi you can just play this game with your family stay safe and wear a mask thanks for seeing this wow this feels like a speech or something but thank you for making this game so bye now for real this time
Boring
Mon Jan 24 2022 Amanda722I really love the Game of Life, so I decided to gamble on it and pay for the game. I didn’t realize there would be so many features you still have to pay for, like customizing the player. It feels really tacky to have to pay for something as silly as a different kind of Vespa. Anyway, I did the default settings and played but found it kind of boring. You can’t see what any of the game board says until you land on them, so most of the game is just spinning and watching your piece move along a board. I guess I should have expected that, since it’s similar to what the game is like in real life, but I thought I would at least be able to see the game board. Years ago, there was a Game of Life computer game which I loved! When you came to a fork in the road, it showed you the two spaces you could have landed on with your roll before you chose, there was customization, the rolls felt more personalized and interactive, and overall it was a more fun game. I guess I was hoping for that but it isn’t, so I’m giving 3 stars because it does give the exact game, but without much of the personal experience.
I’m ADDICTED
Mon Aug 21 2023 CrazyPeas97Okay, first off… this game is JUST like the in person love action board game! Just digital! I downloaded it about maybe two days ago and I’ve been playing it pretty much almost every day nonstop I’ve also gotten my husband to play with me I’m even if you don’t wanna play with anybody else you can either play with the computer or you can also play online there’s so many options but I honestly love the game because it’s a wholesome it’s just like the board game. It’s fun it’s never gets boring and there’s just so many twists and turns with it that just really makes the game really fun. I’m not too sure why this game wouldn’t get five stars maybe perhaps people were expecting something different like the app the Sims where it’s nothing like the actual computer game, but somehow people like it but no, this game is actually just it’s amazing. I am just have a blast with it.
I love this app
Fri Apr 01 2022 ChickennuggiesthefirstWhen I first got this app I was like okay this is going to be a good app when I first played it I was like wow this is a great app once I finished it I loved it so 1m no infinity stars so you should download this app because well you can play with computers people and even your friends so you should download this app even thou it cost money trust me I is worth it also I do have to say something to the people who made the app I think you should make it free because it is a great app and a lot of people love it so I think you should make it free because some people really want to download this app but they might not have the money for it so plz if you could make it free I hope you liked my review keep staying who you are and never change that unless you are rude Ty y’all byeeee!!!have a awesome day byeeee sorry if I am annoying bye sorry
This will enhance your game!
Mon Aug 19 2019 TalishersHello, just speaking on behalf of any mobile user. I enjoy the game but it would be even better if you add a few to a several of these changes:
1. Adding more mini games to the map, having the same 3 games (especially when I land and play the same mini game in a row) can be pretty boring and not as challenging
2. Making it easier to reconnect when disconnecting on accident. Instead of having to start a new game every-time.
3. Switching up the map style (how the map is set up) in a different way so it will be more fun to actually want to cross around the map, instead of different themes (which is great too, but there could be more to it).
4. Since people like to disconnect a lot on here (barely when the game even starts) it would be nice for the bots to be more challenging. Like I’m legitimately facing a human like AI and not act stupid on some occasions( ex. Has a great job but trades it in for a crappier one, like what..?).
5. Have the bots be more gender fluid when it comes to picking who they marry (it’s always a boy-girl or girl-boy situation; lets LGBTQIA up in here more)
So far, that’s all i can personally think of, Ive been wanting to write this down for awhile, but never got around to it. I paid 20 bucks for this game and it would be cool if you take my ideas into consideration. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you do

Great but a few things
Sat Mar 13 2021 lissa123meI love this game but usually when I play and I get really and I mean REALLY far into the game it usually glitches out also sometimes when I start a game the screen just freezes but the part 2 and the vacation ones are great I do recommend the vacation and game of life two but if you want to download this game and try anyway then that’s fine I really don’t care on anyone else’s decision or opinion well I do care but this is still my opinion so if you like this app then thats perfectly fine with me but still go check out the vacation and game of life two I love them and I really think peoples experiences
so go share them but if you don’t want to that’s perfectly fine with me and also this game when it doesn’t glitch or freeze it’s so fun so I hope you have a great time on this app but just so you know if you play and it glitches don’t tell me I didn’t tell you that it’s very glitchy but still I hope you have a great time playing “this game glitches and freezes a lot” said by me also I hope you have a great day :)
Very disappointing
Wed Feb 16 2022 roland-wThis version replaced an absolutely phenomenal version that iPhone no longer supports… given my love of life, clue, and monopoly I bought this several years ago.
I disliked that they reverted back to pegs instead of people, but I’ll live with that, it’s purely preference. But all the stupid mini games make this unplayable. I like to play this as I’m going to bed, I don’t want to have to try to figure out or think quickly for a mini game, even if I did, I don’t wanna play the version of hungry hungry hippos or whatever other version it’s popping up… if I wanted to play those I would get those, but I got life.
Again, citing how the old version was infinitely better, life (from board game up) relied on luck of the spin and luck of drawing good cards, not stupid mini games. Those are gimmicks to hide how bad this game is. Life doesn’t need gimmicks, it’s a good game and the gimmicks distract from that.
There also is no way to turn off the mini games for a more traditional game. I paid money for this, and I can’t bring myself to play it (although I generally try once or twice a year).
Honestly, I still have an old phone and charger (iPhone 3 I think), and I use that to play the original iPhone life because this version is so bad.
The game got a two star instead of a one because it’s still Life, and it’s got the good bones… it could be salvaged by removing the mini games. But, if you like mini games, it could be awesome for you.
Great design but online play stinks
Thu Mar 26 2020 MaricathIf anybody thinks this game is nothing like the actual game of life that is because they haven’t played the new version! The board game they sell in store now is different than when we were kids, and this app is exactly like the new version of the board game. I think it’s cute and funny that each character gets a look depending on the career they chose.
Please fix online mode!!! It is so annoying that it’s so easy to get kicked off a game. If you leave the app for even a moment it will kick you off and turn your character into a computer. The games obviously last kind of a while, so it’s so infuriating when you’re deep into a game with your buddies and then you get kicked off because you got a phone call and gets get back in the game. Or you get a text message and muscle memory opens it really quick forgetting that will render you unable to rejoin the game.
I urged all my friends to pay $3 on an app that is just frustrating to use! Don’t bother buying if you plan on playing online
Nothing like the original
Sat Nov 24 2018 Cheska428First off, the game is expensive for what you get to do. You don’t get to Customize your pegs or even the car that you get without having to pay for it. The game is extremely repetitive, I feel as if the game already programs what you’re going to be landing on because I land on the same things almost every single time which can’t be coincidence. The jobs that you get whether it’s career or college are the same every time which is only 4 options. In the original game you have a lot more options. In this game if you have children you automatically get $50k for each child but in the original game you had expenses for child care, college for the kids, etc. Obviously you’re going to choose to have a child each time to cash in at the end. You have a lot of chances to gain money but not a lot of chances to lose it which I find boring. The whole point is that you have as many equal chances to win as you have to lose. The only thing I like are the mini games which I find amusing when you land on them. Overall, really bad game....
