Don’t Purchase, Play for Free
Don’t buy! This game is not worth the $6. The game was support short. It should be $2.
Y’all ruined this game
This update sucks!
Used to be fun, not anymore
This game used to be fun, but now they added all these in-app purchases and dumb features to get you to waste money. Also changed the game to the point where it’s not even fun anymore. Don’t bother downloading
90% Ads, 10% Game
You’ll spend the entire time playing this being bombarded with ads - both for other products and for an incessant amount of things they ask you to pay for within the app. It’s obnoxious. And having to wait 8 hours to “travel to” a level is absurd. Waste of time.
Review
Not worth your $7. Not enough levels at all.
What happened to Sally’s Spa???
This used to be one of my favorite games, but now there’s ADs, upgrades in the game cost money, and the way the levels are played is changed. I know it needed some new updates, but we only needed more levels, not completely changing how the game is played and only caring about making a profit not the players. I’ve been a sally’s spa user for probably 8 years and that has now ended.
Disappointed
I’m very disappointed that I bought this game and they refuse to create more levels.
Won’t let me buy the game
I want to buy the game but won’t let me purchase the game
I paid for 10 levels 😒
So no worth the money
Love the game but it glitches
My game is restarting my progress and I don’t like it . I purchased the full game and I should be able to play it fully through !
Small window?
I have an 11" iPad Pro and the game window looks like it's 5". What gives?
horrible !!!
don’t buy
Screen messed up
Downloaded this game on my daughters iPad and only half the game shows up. So frustrating and disappointing.
Ahhhhhhh! New update cuts off screen!!!’
I love this game. Why is it every time it gets updated, the screen isn’t horizontal! Half the game is missing/inaccessible!!!!!
Price too high for content
This game should be .99 not 2.99. You can finish this game in less than a week. They definitely need to add more “levels” or cut down the price. Not worth it.
This game used to be so good
This game used to be so good, but now it’s so bad. The time goes by way too fast making it hard to complete every level, and you have to pay for the people to help you out when all of them used to be free. Also there’s an ad after you win, lose, or just want to play the game it’s so ridiculous.. You also have to pay for flights to the different areas and can barely gain enough money for upgrades. This games has gotten so bad and I wish it was the same as when you had to just pay for the app and everything else was free….
Fun but frustrating
First, I want to say when this game first came out it was awesome! However, after recently redownloading this game again you have to either pay to not watch adds or watch adds after every time you play a round. Also instead of getting points or money from the game go use to buy extra help around the spa you have to pay for it. That’s insane you should be able to pay with the spa money for extra help in the game or have them as prizes and not something you have to buy. Those things would make this game amazing. The game could make a profit in other ways!
Overshot on the upgrades!
Inflation is real in this game lol Upgrades to the spa are $10k-50k in game money. Takes the fun out of the game :(
Character sprites
Please change the character sprites back to the original! I know they changed the sprite design years ago but I still do not see how the current design is even visually appealing. That is enough to not want to make me pay for full version of this game because I cannot stand how they look.
Fun game but not worth the money for the playtime
I remember playing this ages ago, so I downloaded again. Didn’t remember it costing money but payed anyways. Still fun, but FIVE DOLLARS for only a couple hours of playtime?? I feel ripped off.
Fun game but not enough levels
I really like the concept of the game and the challenges it brings as you move up in levels. However, there aren’t that many levels that you are able to play before you finish the game, and then your only option is to replay the levels which is very boring. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game and find myself barely able to put the phone down when playing, but I finished the entire game in a day and am now ready to delete it because it’s unentertaining. It’s very disappointing because if there were more levels it would be so much better.
