Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop 4+

Still working

Although this app was expensive when I first purchased it few years ago, I think it is worth it. Because until now, 2022 and my iPad mini (1st gen) is already 9 years old, it is still working! I would be so sad if the software developer would delete this. To the other software developers, not everyone wanted a new Apple device. Even though there is an ios update, always consider those people like me that are not ready to buy or update a new device especially if there is nothing wrong with it. People are complaining about toxic waste but they wanted us to keep spending money. Apple is promoting that their devices are great. Yes, it is true, but what is the point of buying their products if they don't allow the consumers to keep using their older devices? If that is the case might as well buy a cheaper products from other brands instead of Apple. Kudos to the developer of this game because you're still allowing this version for someone like us. My child is still enjoying this game. Thanks!

Thank you for the great review!

Costs a lot of money

The strawberry short cake game refers to situations that seem sweet and appealing but end up costing a lot more than expected. It’s like buying something because it looks great on the surface, only to realize later that it wasn’t worth the price. This could be anything from expensive gadgets to investments that promise high returns but come with hidden risks. The appeal of these “strawberries” often lies in immediate gratification or the illusion of status. People might get caught up in the excitement and overlook the long-term costs. Advertisements and social media can make these things seem irresistible by only showing the best parts. Once the initial thrill wears off, the reality of the expense becomes clear. Many people realize too late that they’ve spent more than they should have. The strawberry shortcake/ice cream game teaches us that not everything that looks good is worth the price. It’s a reminder to think carefully before making purchases or investments. Understanding the true cost is important. Otherwise, you might end up paying a lot more than you bargained for. In a world full of tempting offers, it’s crucial to stay grounded and make decisions based on value rather than appearance.

Thanks for reading!

I love this game but make it cost less-or don’t make it cost anything.

Loved it but now it’s changed

We bought the full game quite a while ago for our daughter. She loved it, so we bought all of the possible deserts so she would have plenty to do. Now the game has changed to a subscription model, so she’s limited to just a few options unless we want to subscribe for a monthly fee that, quite frankly, seems way too steep for such a basic game. We’re quite unhappy with the change. We’ve tried restoring purchases as some other reviewers were advised to do, but the items she used to have access to are still locked so that she has to ‘earn’ them through play through. This seems ridiculous and unfair, since not too long ago she could use them and now she just suddenly can’t. We’re subscribed to the Barbie Dreamhouse game from the same developer because she also loved that one and it was the only option for purchase at the time we found it, but I refuse to pay for a second monthly subscription for a children’s game. It made sense to subscribe to Barbie because there’s tons of dolls and things, but the Bake Shop game is much simpler and we already paid full price to unlock everything. It would be totally ridiculous to subscribe to it to earn back things that used to be included like the electric mixer.
