Evidence excerpts

Quoted verbatim from public Google Play reviews. Each carries the rating, date and app version it was left on, so it can be checked against the listing.
“it's a perfect example of everything wrong with modern gaming especially on mobile. Scummy UI that tries to trick you into clicking on ads, and even if you do manage to sidestep...”
“I *tried* to play the game for about an hour but a grotesque amount of ads stopped me at every turn. I would have made a purchase to disable ads but I didn't see an obvious one ...”
“bro if your gonna make a ad every 30 seconds ill just put on ad block, I literally took it off to be like well I dont mind supporting good games then I was COUGHED DOWN WITH ADS...”
“this game would be absolutely perfect if it weren't for the crazy overstimulation of it all. the constant repeating sounds, the crazy flashing colors, its too much. I really wis...”
“I wish you could unlock more recipes using coins or foods. The fact that almost half of the food recipes must be payed with real money is insane...”
“You have to pay real money to get recipes to cook, the app barely has any. Disgrace on the franchise.”
Neither store provides a link to an individual review, so these quotes cannot be deep-linked. They can be verified in the app's public reviews on Google Play using the rating and date shown. If you own this app and believe a quote is misattributed, tell us and we will re-audit it.

What the store itself requires
Google Play rules that apply to Cooking Mama: Let's cook!
Quoted from Google Play's own documentation, with the source for each. These are the published requirements — we report what the public listing shows against them and never assert a violation we cannot see.
Target API level 36 by 31 August 2026
Google Play requires new apps and updates to target Android 16 (API level 36) from 31 August 2026. An existing app below API 35 is only served to new users on devices running at or below its target version, so it quietly stops reaching modern phones.
What this report can see: We can see how long ago this app last shipped an update. We cannot see its target API level — that is only visible in Play Console.
Android Developers — target API level requirementsCrash and ANR thresholds affect store visibility
Google Play may reduce an app's visibility and show a warning on its listing when the user-perceived crash rate passes 1.09%, or the ANR rate passes 0.47%, on a 28-day average. The per-device-model thresholds are 8% for both — an app can look healthy overall and still be failing on one popular handset.
What this report can see: We can see what users report about crashes and device compatibility in public reviews. We cannot see the actual vitals numbers.
Android Developers — Android vitalsStore listing metadata rules
Titles are capped at 30 characters and may not use emoji, repeated special characters, ALL CAPS outside a brand name, or claims about rankings or pricing. Descriptions may not carry unattributed user testimonials or excessive keyword repetition.
What this report can see: All of this is on the public listing, so these checks are fully evidenced.
