Rubies

This game is very enjoyable and I got addicted fast. Like many other games you have a usual coin currency and then a special ruby currency. You need rubies to upgrade ingredients and appliances which isn’t a problem at first because they are relatively easy to come by when you first start. Now it’s still possible to get rubies but it takes a lot of time (unless you’re willing to throw some money at the game) and the amount of rubies rewarded doesn’t feel worth the task given for the amount of time and levels you’d have to play to get them (like serving 1150 plates of one dish for 5 rubies). Also I don’t understand why the coin currency changed when you make it to the next map. Now I’m not using the original coins for anything but still collecting revenue from those restaurants. I suggest an option to be able to exchange coins for rubies, that way the coins don’t go to waste as I’m not using the ones from the first map and I’ve already gotten more than enough in the second one. The only thing I’m falling short on in this game is rubies which is frustrating when you need them for all of the upgrades, especially when the next restaurant requires more coins and rubies for upgrades. The amount of coins you earn increases but the rubies adversely become harder to obtain. At the least I would like if the ruby rewards were higher and/or the ruby requirements for upgrades were lowered.

Very good but some complaints

The only reason I am not giving this a five stars is because some things in the game are really annoying. Earning rubies is really hard unless you pay money, and even when you watch adds, you only get 1! I have three pets in the game, but they don’t help much. They just give me a couple banknotes and maybe some other things, but pretty much never give me rubies! So I am just spending a bunch of rubies to make them happy, even though I could be using those rubies to help me! Also, I don’t like how the pets can lose happiness even when you aren’t playing. That makes it virtually impossible to make them happy and still upgrade your restaurants without spending a bunch of money to buy rubies. If you could make the pets useful, like have them help you in the kitchen or at least get rubies from them, the game would be a lot better. Once every like 3-4 weeks you get a large gift of rubies, but that is really rare. If you could make it easier to get the things that the pets need, that would be really helpful. Overall, it is a good game, but if you could make the pets more useful, make it easier to get rubies without spending a bunch of money, and not have the pets lose happiness when you aren’t playing, this would be an excellent game. Honestly, I would rate this game 3 1/2 stars if I could, but I have to settle for this. Please fix this!

Amazing game :)

This game is really fun! I’ve never been one to play cooking games for a long time, but I’ve already spent hours playing this game and it’s still enjoyable. I like how there are several things happening in addition to the main story: big events, small events, guild quests etc. I also like that you can add friends without having to necessarily go through Facebook. I really only have one major issue: the rubies are hard to get. I understand that it’s part of the challenge of collecting the rubies, but it’s at a point where there’s a lot of work just to get a couple of gems (unless I want to pay real money to buy gems). All the upgrades require gems to purchase in addition to coins. Coins I have no problem collecting, but the currency collecting is just disproportionate. I would LOVE if there was a way to trade in coins for rubies! This would definitely help those who collect a lot of coins but are unable to do anything with them because you need coins AND rubies to upgrade. Or, another suggestion would be to make the upgrades cost more coins but less gems. All that being said, I’m still able to enjoy this game, and while getting the rubies is a slow process, so far it hasn’t been too terrible.Oh and I would love if there were more clothing options that can be purchased with the banknotes. I really like this game! Thank you :)

AMAZING game

First off, great game. It’s very fun and very time consuming. But I still love it.😊 I also love the avatar editor. The outfits are really cute and fun! Although I do have a few complaints, just for the record, I still love this game. My first complaint is the clothing. I know what your thinking, “You where just raving about how good the outfits where.” Well yes the outfits are still AMAZING but the actual tab for it is locked till after some time. I wish the tab could open sooner. Also once you get the tab to open, you have to WAIT for some sections to be able to use such as the pet section and the shop. Another thing I want to add it the gems. The gems take A LONG time to earn. I wish that you could get gems more often even though they can be earned on daily login streak and wheel of fortune. Still... I just want to get more gems. The last thing I wanna add is something that isn’t necessarily about a glitch or a ad problem (which BTW there are like zero ads) or something like that. It’s actually something the players have been doing quite recently. On the guilds people have been putting “Dating guilds”. I don’t like that because there could be little kids coming across that and PRETEND DATING. That’s only something you would do as an adult. That’s pretty much it but please maybe fix these problems. Thank you 👍

Actually Great

I really don’t review games nor do I enjoy modern mobile games because of the pushy capitalism that comes with them, the ads have taken truly over. HOWEVER - this game is entirely different. You CAN play this game pleasantly and still have so much to do without pestering ads. You CAN enjoy this game because of the quality of the game mechanics and there is just, like I said, so many things to do. Unlike most games, there is something for everyone here. I loved the integration of the food truck, different cuisines and restaurants, and most importantly GUILDS!! They’ve done it right, when many mobile games miss the mark on these features. This game stands out. It all makes Cooking Diary interesting and fun while remaining wholesome and doesn’t show children or adults horrible despicable ads or themes within the game (other than the witch in the newest update which I am not a fan of). It really is impressive and I give my thanks to the developers for taking their time to make what is, in my opinion, one of the best mobile games to date. Diner Dash can’t stand a chance next to Cooking Diary. And I didn’t even mention that the storyline feature in this game is surprisingly awesome, it’s actually cute and engaging and gives your character life. God Bless the developers and all who play this game in Jesus name. Thank you for bringing quality and wholesome entertainment to the App Store!

This game is amazing for chronic pain!

I have a chronic degenerative disease called CIDP. I also have numerous other conditions. Between all of these, I am in bed most of the time and in severe to extreme pain. This game has enough going on that I am able to dive in and put all my focus on it, removing my focus from my pain. Even though I can’t afford to put much money into the developers, I have been purchasing little extras when I can. I really just want to support this game’s development team because of how amazing this game is! The only negative for me is that the lives system makes it really hard for long play sessions, once your higher level. I have been playing this game a little over a week, I think, and have gotten my level into the 50s (in the 3rd cafe, the cinecafe I think it’s called). In the beginning you can basically play forever because of either lots of storyline and tutorial type things that take a bit to complete or items/extensions to your lives.Now that I am in the level 50s, the extensions/items are drastically more rare (you can buy these items with real money if you can afford to) and you are having to play multiple difficult levels to get to the amazing and funny storyline (which at this level is much shorter). So, to sum up, THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME🥰😘💜🤩🥰! I just wish I could afford longer play sessions😞....

BEWARE: Super Addictive!!

I absolutely love this game. I’m not the type to get addicted to games but since I’ve started this one, I have been completely engrossed. Now the only downfall is the rubies, and the time it takes to be able to request assistance especially when you have a guild quest that you need assistance to complete. I have spent so much money on buying rubies at some point during the game I think it would suffice to be able to trade old coins from old towns to rubies for new towns, as many rubies as it takes to upgrade items they will run out quick and you’ll need to still buy more so it’s not completely unreasonable. The old levels are not really played and the money won’t be needed because the items are all upgraded so it’s coins for no reason that I can’t use on any other level across the map. Think about it. Plus it would keep people playing more because they won’t lose levels for not having rubies to be able to upgrade which means they will be more apt to purchasing small amounts of rubies more often to be able to upgrade items. But besides that the game is absolutely amazing and you guys did an awesome job!!UPDATE: A year later and I still feel the same way!!! This game is a must. I put it down for about two months and picked it back up...and I’m once again all the way addicted!! You’ll love it!

Gems too difficult to come by

The game play is quick paced and really fun! ... at first. After about 3 or 4 restaurants in you start getting stuck because in a set time you have to serve x customers or make x amount of money. But to do that you need faster machines and more expensive ingredients... and how do you get those? With gems! But how do you get gems? Well, you can get 1 on day 4 of constant gameplay and 2 on day 5. You can watch an add twice a day and get 1 gen per add. You can spin a wheel for free once a day (I’ve gotten 2 gems this way maybe once a week, it’s hit or miss) and occasionally there’s special events where you can earn gems (1-3 gems every 5-10 levels complete). You also get a few gems when you get through episodes but you can only do that by whining levels. So when you’re stuck there’s 2 options. 1: wait. Every day you get a few gems. Save up to get that 16 gem tray or 12 gem oven upgrade. Might take you a few weeks of not playing and just clicking. Or 2: pay up. For a dollar you can get 100 gems.. sometimes. It’s one of those special offers that keep popping up. Or for $4.99 you can get a golden ticket and earn better prizes (gems and outfits) when you play events in the food truck. Gems should be a part of level prizes same as coins. Maybe to a less extent because I get it... ads aren’t enough, the game maker wants us to pay up. But it literally halts game play for me and that’s not ok. Do better Food Diary!

Worth It!

I have never taken the time to write a review. But Cooking Diary is AWESOME!! I absolutely LOVE cooking games so I’ve played my fair few. This is definitely one of the best. Sure, maybe when you start off it seems hard to earn enough money or gems to do anything, but that’s the beauty of it- the game doesn’t charge you tickets or energy just to play a few levels. I’ve spent hours and lost track of time playing this game because there are SO many things to do! There is always a new Food Truck, Creighton’s Challenges, Guild Quests, special events to earn extra gems/money, not to mention that now with COVID going on, they issue you a FREE unlimited lives for 4hours, when you log in each different day! It’s a blast. I have not gotten bored yet, and I’ve only gone through 10 of the restaurants. I can’t even say “gone through” because the levels for each restaurant are basically infinite- I’m at 234 on one shop with no end in sight that I can see. Plus on the map I can see there are a TON of new restaurants that I haven’t even made it to yet. I really don’t know how anyone can gripe about this game, it is AMAZING. My one teeny tiny issue though- my wheel of fortune has seemed to disappear?? I can’t find the wheel anywhere. I know it’s still a part of the game because my guild mates keep sending us prizes when they hit the jackpot. But I haven’t been able to spin it because there’s no button!! Anyways that’s my small issue but other than that I love this game.

Wow, Insane...

I’ve been playing for over a year now and let me just say, this was a lucky find. From the very beginning I knew this was going to be my favorite game. So let’s get straight to it. There is a diamond balance, but honestly, the daily gems and quests you can complete make it nearly impossible to NOT have any gems. I wouldn’t see any reason why people would complain about not getting enough, when really there is a good amount you can gain. I tested it and gained 40 diamonds within 3-4 days. You could probably get more in that period of time. Also the amount of money that you need to play this game is absolutely none. I have gone through almost 11 restaurants without paying a cent. It just takes patience and hard work to save up diamonds to upgrade. Also you can buy certain rare clothing items but that’s entirely your choice. The harder the levels, the more diamonds you’ll need to improve your kitchen, which is what is necessary to complete the game. So be sure to spend them wisely! Overall I would say this is a FANTASTIC creation! The makers of this are geniuses, and they really do deserve shout outs for this incredible mobile game. I can play this all day if I wanted, but be careful with spending diamonds for clothing items (you’ll regret using them for that). Thank you for reading this review! Hopefully this review will help you decide whether or not to get this game. :) Enjoy your day!
