WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription40%

111 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Too many in game purchases and it holds back what you can do, marketed as a life sim where you can do anything but doesnt tell you it all cost real money.
★★★★★ Always make your purchases through the App Store, even if it's more expensive.
★★★★★ Now you gotta pay for every single thing they have gotten so money hungry.
Too many ads20%

55 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ can't do anything you used to be able to now and half the game is ads
★★★★★ It was fun until I got spammed with constant cash grabs and non-stop ads.
★★★★★ The game has an ad for everything you do is basically unplayable with how many ads you have to watch, not only that it lags nonstop the more you you play.
Limits, credits, locked features15%

41 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Please is not that hard to add more languages
★★★★★ You didn't really have to pay too much if you had God mode, you get access to everything.
★★★★★ I would say 30% of the game is free while the other 70% is locked behind a pay wall.
Worse after an update12%

33 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Before 2020 the game was good the packs were apart of bundles and had quality changes from update to update.
★★★★★ When I updated to 3.2 5.1 I was hoping the issue would've been fixed still is continuing.
★★★★★ Can't even become a contractor and start your own trade company… not to mention that you can't save your “lives in progress” to the cloud so literally every character that I had been working on just gone when I went to…
Lost data, sync, backup11%

30 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It was like this before I deleted it and I waited like a week and then I re-downloaded it and it is still the same.
★★★★★ Once I deleted it and redownloaded it, I could not get back nearly majority of the in game packages I've purchased for forever use
★★★★★ I recently deleted it because of the storage it was taking up, assuming all of my purchases would remain on my account.
Bugs, things not working5%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Game started glitching and freezing.
★★★★★ the game is always buggy and lags and it sucks
★★★★★ I try to have fun but your game will just give me the worst luck ever or sometimes it would just freeze, please improve and fix the game
Wrong or poor results3%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I will keep reposting my review each time it is deleted because the scammers want to run away and hide by deleting reviews and buying fake reviews to make themselves look better.
★★★★★ Take the Model career: audition sliders you can't see, fame that drains faster than you can build it, and agencies that fire you for what I can only assume is breathing wrong.
★★★★★ Not spending money on this useless boring app.
Crashes and freezes2%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Game started glitching and freezing.
★★★★★ It just completely freezes up the game.
★★★★★ I try to have fun but your game will just give me the worst luck ever or sometimes it would just freeze, please improve and fix the game

★★★★★ I like it it's so fun to make family and children
★★★★★ It is very fun for me but I hate the adds
Worth the money7%

13 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Is worth paying for ad removal… yes I said it is totally worth it
★★★★★ I've spent a pretty penny on this game and I agree with a lot of people who say a good bit should be free but ehh.
★★★★★ Game is really fun but you shouldn't have to pay to become famous like a NBA player make everything free.
Accurate, great results2%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The reason behind this is that on the Monarchy part of the gameplay, I think it should be more realistic.
★★★★★ Overall, BitLife is already a great game, but I feel like there's so much potential to make it even deeper and more realistic while still keeping the simple gameplay that makes it fun.
★★★★★ It was never a completely realistic simulation game.
Useful, it helps1%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ BitLife genuinely changed my life. Before I discovered this game, I was going through a rough time and felt like I had absolutely no motivation to do anything. Then I downloaded BitLife, and suddenly I had a whole new…
★★★★★ It's fun for going on a field trip or somewhere it helps you focus and I forgot time would recommend
Great support1%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ BitLife gave me something to look forward to every day, and while obviously a mobile game isn't an actual replacement for professional mental-health support, it genuinely helped distract me when I was having a hard time.
★★★★★ It's been well over six months since I've been able to play it, until today! Very thankful.

tea.

been playing for a while can be addictive but after some time starts to get boring, also wish they had body measurements for like height and weight idk if it’s just me but wtv.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Okay but…

I redownloaded the game after deleting it after I noticed that once I started a new life, there is absolutely nothing underneath the conception age. Typically it tells you the name of your parents what jobs they have how you were conceived and what your birthday is, but it says absolutely nothing underneath it now. It was like this before I deleted it and I waited like a week and then I re-downloaded it and it is still the same. Please fix this.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
It’s so good

I like it it’s so fun to make family and children

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Why are there too many micro transactions?

Too many micro transactions

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Very fun would recommend

I’ve had this game for five years and played all the time and it never bored me I do think that it could be less paid to win but other than that very good game. Is worth paying for ad removal… yes I said it is totally worth it

Store description

How will you live your BitLife? Will you try to make all the right choices in an attempt to become a model citizen sometime before you die? You could marry the love of your life, have kids, and pick up a good job along the way. Or will you make choices that horrify your parents? You could descend into a life of crime, start trouble in prison, smuggle goods across country lines, and rob banks. It's all up to you... BitLife is the original text-based life simulator that lets you roleplay your life, your way. Create your story in this choice-driven simulation game. Build a perfect life, chase success, or embrace chaos. In this life simulation, every tap is a choice that changes what happens next in your story.

Shape your life through careers, education, and risky choices, then watch your story unfold through the consequences of every decision. Virtual life is calling… CREATE YOUR STORY: - Live your BitLife as a model citizen… or a total wild card. - Build a dream life story: love, family, career, and success. - Or chase chaos: fame, scandal, and bad choices with big outcomes. - Your life, your identity, your story, your roleplay.
