I don't know if this was changed, but both the description on the Play Store and the first screen in-game let you know this is a trial. Not sure why so many missed that. This isn't really a game for me, but I do appreciate its aesthetics and love for books. Using real books was a good touch, I might take some recommendations from this myself. The gameplay is simple and easygoing. If you like casual games, give the trial a chance and then make your decision - that's what it's there for.

Cozy Bookseller Game that is easy to learn, has a fun gameplay loop, and feels nice as you get to know your neighbors in town! Totally worth the $8!
- Matt Frame · v1.1.10
GUYS YOU NEED TO READ THE DESCRIPTION. IT LITERALLY STATES THAT IT IS A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY. stop rating this so low because yall cant bother reading. Anyway, great game.
- Jenna Brown · v1.1.10

- Graciella Lienata
Just one of the best game I have played. I even recommend it to my sister. She loved it too.
- Hafsah Disomangcop
I LOVE IT!!! It's such a relaxing game to play and they used actual books for the game. everything's great except for the bookshelves— I/we need more bookshelves (especially when we unlocked the shop) even if we get to have the same bookshelf design (really love the antiquated bookshelf, perfect for the shop). I hope we can get more bookshelves, otherwise, the game is GREAT!

I don't know if it's a google play issue or what but it showed me this game as a FREE game. I installed it and when I open it, it asks me to buy the game.
- Shaina · v1.1.10
The gameplay, the design, the content is really good. The only thing that's make me annoying is my phone getting warm after playing for just 15 minute..
- Tan Kieu Cong (Neo) · v1.1.10
So relaxing I fell asleep playing this game at 3pm, 10/10.
- ruby nguyen · v1.1.10
Very cute and relaxing game, totally worth it! So many side quests to do, you can never get bored! I only think the book suggestions could be easier to guess (some are pretty easy, but some are way too hard to make sense of what people are asking for) Otherwise, I love everything about this game, the design and story is super well done :)
- • Rita • · v1.1.10
it's such a cute game!! would purchase it if i could.
- Zardty Gypsy · v1.1.10
The trial is excellent, very convenient, and offers interactive features. I really enjoyed this game. I hope I can buy it in the future. It's very good and well done. ✨
- Dina Kurniasari · v1.1.10
I can't play it because I can't get it to actually start I tried several times on several occasions and it just gave me black screen with flipping book in the corner
- Samar Khaled · v1.1.10
10/10 game, just play it
- Geneva Doxi · v1.1.10
It's cute, but just a trial for a couple of levels, sad as that wasn't mentioned when I downloaded it. For £6.99 is it worth it? I don't know wasn't hooked enough to find out
- Jade Kenna · v1.1.10
why my game stuck? its only been on first loading page and not moving on
- S D · v1.1.10
I loved playing the trial for this game, it's very relaxing 😌
- Paige Middleton
I feel bad for the people who can't get past the loading screen cause this game is AWESOME!! Please give it another chance when the devs fix it or you get a device that is more compatible someday. It's simple and pleasant to play through, you get to know different characters, go to special events, have challenges that are not stressful (you just achieve them as you play along). AND I LOVE THAT THEY USE REAL LIFE BOOKS! The art is gorgeous and i get to decorate my little store.
- Kimie Watts · v1.1.10
i opened the game and waited 30 mins for it to load but nothing happened just, Blank screen and so Just to let you know my Network was Fine I don't know either if it requires network..I don't know what happened I wanted to try this game but I guess I can't 😢 please fix it
- Fareeha · v1.1.10
l love the game so much, please make it a simulation , l wish l could buy , too bad l am broke, it was an exquisiting experience thank you
- Fantasia Lee · v1.1.10
Just a trial. there's no issue in paying for art, but ideally it should've been disclosed.
- Ren
great game
- Daniel Aquino · v1.1.10
This game is so cute. I love the stories and the people. They put so much thought into it. If you like to read this game is for you. It's like its own story. All the reviews complaining they didn't know they would have to pay, first off it tells you about the trial in the about section. Second it also says free trial when you start the game. It is 7.99 for this game. Considering how much other games charge you for coins and stuff this is nothing. The people complaining need to learn to read.
- Mandi Vovakes · v1.1.10
It seemed like a game I would enjoy playing forever until It said I had to buy the game, that was unexpected, its should be labeled that way, saying the game has in-app purchase is not enough to steer away from a misunderstanding because had it stated that i would have to purchase the game to fully experience it I wouldn't have bothered downloading it. The game however is a wholesome and relaxing concept, minus the purchasing the game part.
- Bridgette Boroko · v1.1.10
I have been playing this for a while and it's so addictive. the coziness, the graphics, the story. Especially you connect so easily with the characters. I wish more content would come to this game in the future. If you're looking to lower your stress down, this is an easily recommended game.
- Ali Fakhruddin
THIS GAME DOESN'T EVEN WORK.! WARSE OF A DOWNLOAD, TIME, AND ENERGY AND PHONE SPACE.! WORK ON YALL CODES FOR THE GSME TO OPEN AND RUN PROPERLY.!
- Marlenea Twilla
it's a goodish game, but why would you not just make you buy it from the start? you make it out as if this game is free, but you only get a three (in game) day trial. not worth 8$ in my opinion, but at least make it pay to start with so you don't make the people playing upset.
- Trinity Harris · v1.1.10
The game is very cute, and seems like it would be a really fun cozy game. the only problem it's not the full game. Its only a trial run that lasts like 10 ish minutes then you have to pay for the full game. Its would have been a 5 star if it's said it's only a trail run then you have to pay for it...
- Sara Monjaras
Very disappointed, there was no mention of a fee until I installed the game. Had I of known I had to pay for the game I wouldn't have installed it in the first place.
- Bella Westmorland · v1.1.10
I really like the cosy vibe of the game, and the calm colours. It is also a nice way to try out other genres.
- Fany 229 · v1.1.10
What an amazing game. It looked so cozy and peaceful. I just wished it wasn't that expensive. I'll go back here once I pay for the full game.
- Charisse
Trial game only.
- James Wiltfong · v1.1.10
It's refreshing. A game about a bookstore and a little town. I liked it but it's too expensive for me.
- Maria-Cristina Radu
The most relaxing game I've played
- Jacob Austen · v1.1.10
not free you still have to buy the game
- Or Moshkovich
This is great game , but expensive for somebody like me who is broke, so if you can make it free , please, It would be great???
- Swarnanil Ghosh · v1.1.10
nice game the graphics are nice too genuinely wanted to keep playing only if it was free
- Excel Omorede
what a boring game.
- Junique Scharneck · v1.1.10
thought it was a free game, played very little before asked for $16 to continue playing at all!! game was good, I liked the idea, graphics weren't great, but $16? you don't get to play enough of the game in trial to tell if it's worth it, all you play is unskippable tutorial. I'd rather watch ads for items or book stock
- Yasmin · v1.1.10
Despite multiple attempts and changing various things for the appearance of the game, it kept freezing up. It only went as far as Tilde finding the 2nd book and another person walking into the picture. It wouldn't do anything.
- Peggy Cook
Cozy game but deceiving as you only get a free trial
- Michael Saunders · v1.1.10
same as other players. won't load. using Samsung galaxy tablet s6
- Robin Vaughn · v1.1.10
Really enjoyed the trial, but I can't help but vote this low simply because it was misleading about it only being a trial. There is nothing about this not being the full game until you open the app up. I have no issues with paying in general, but I feel like I got baited into it. Really shady even though the game is very cozy and cute.
- N S · v1.1.10
Beautiful game. Very relaxing and easy to follow tutorial. Absolutely loved it. And the detail of helping a customer find their book, is just, wow! I played the trial version, I plan on buying it soon. Strongly recommend.
- Jen After
Adorable cozy game, really interesting mechanic.
- William Law · v1.1.10
Hi! I recently downloaded Tiny Bookshop from the Google Play Store for the first time, but the game is not loading properly. When I open it, I only see the picture of the people on the RV, but there are no menu buttons, music, or anything else on the screen. I have already reinstalled the game, cleared the cache, force-stopped it, restarted my phone, and tried opening it with Wi-Fi both on and off, but the problem is still happening.Could you please help me fix this
- Minnie “Unknown” Ratlhaa · v1.1.10
I hate it when games seem free but once you open the game it requires purchasing.
- Arbër /B · v1.1.10
amazing i loved this game on my pc and Laptop and now i can take it anywhere with me wich is great
- Clara Manhart
nice game but sadly when I try to connect the game to my controller it doesn't do the precise inputs so there are some confusing inputs that went to other buttons mappings. if possible can you add a button mapping options?
