Seat Away Reviews

by Crashing-Constantly

There is a reason I don’t like timed games…

Ok a few of the apps I like have time limits but they are REASONABLE…this game is ridiculously stingy with time so you have to rush even on the easy levels

If it was a logic game with no limits on time and moves it would be worth playing but as it stands not keeping it

by Mrs Happiness.

This is actually a fun game to play. But the added timer not only makes it stressful, but impossible to pass some of the levels, unless you buy coins for an added 20 seconds. I play other games that don’t have a timer, and I am more apt to spend money on them to get past a certain level if I am unable to complete it. But with this game, I don’t even get an opportunity to complete the level because of the dreaded timer. I think the developers would find more people not only enjoyin this game, but more inclined to spend a few dollars if they weren’t so pressured with the timer. I ended up deleting the game.

by Purrplecat

I was addicted to this game and I paid for the ad free version. Then there was the update where they changed how you buy powerups. There’s no daily reward to get powerups/coins and no way to earn coins except pass the level. The levels are made impossible because of time limit to force you to buy coins. This is frustrating because I PAID for the game already. And now they want more money. Very disappointing

by Dee052175

I just started playing the game and it’s really challenging and it would be a great game, BUT 900 coins for extra time?! The only way you can do that is to spend money in the game right away. This can get extremely expensive quick if you decide to start spending money to continue to play but get stuck in one of the super hard levels. I don’t know why the developers of these games are so greedy. Seriously, more people may spend money if it was so in your face, you must buy coins, right away. Plus if your prices were cheaper people may actually buy even more. It’s a shame really because this game could be so much fun and one I would properly not delete, but since I’ve now been stuck one a super hard level for the past few days and still have not earned 900 coins to be able to get extra time to get past it, the game is now useless to me because I refuse to spend that much money for just a couple of seconds more to complete a level and most people will work the crazy inflation going on right now on things we actually need in life. Sit down and reevaluate yourself and your game and maybe find more ways for people to earn coins and lower your prices and even the amount of coins it costs to get those few extra seconds. Geez!

by KT(:

This was my absolute favorite game until the first time I absolutely couldn’t pass a level and didn’t have enough coins. I won’t pay money for this, as there SHOULD be a way to pass every level without requiring a booster purchase. If there was a way to play previous levels for more coins, a bigger coin reward for each level passed, or no timers, I wouldn’t have to delete the game. It’s pointless to be frustrated every single day trying to pass one single level (405). It’s no longer a game, it’s just a stressful waste of time.

by Mama Rials

There are levels that seem to be intentionally impossible to pass without buying extra coins to buy boosters or time extensions. On top of that, 3 times in 30 minutes the game glitched. Once it asked me to use coins to extend the time, which I agreed to and then the level ended anyways (even though my coin balance had gone down). TWICE I paid actual money to buy additional coins just to have SeatAway freeze and not allow me to continue the round (and thus the real money I spent on coins was wasted).

There are no options to earn additional coins without winning levels first and when you get to a level you can't pass you waste all of your coins and then have no way to earn more (because you can't pass the level).

So sad. It really is a great game. They just need to allow you other ways to earn coins and fix the glitches. I can't help but think it's intentional. Passing a round gives you 35 coins (sometimes more on the super hard levels) but to extend your time costs 900 coins. That's 20+ wins you have to rack up just for ONE 20 second extension. The harder levels are like every 10th level so it's virtually impossible to play this game without spending real money.

by IBTerri

I downloaded the game and was enjoying it so I decided to go ahead and purchased to cancel ads. Since then, it has been taking many hours to refill the lives. Most games, lives are restored over night, not this game, I just received one life in 12 hours. I wish I hadn’t paid to remove ads, or even downloaded the game.

by Mnbvghjkp

I’ve only had this game for a few hours n it has become too difficult because of the time! It seems the more seats u have to fill the less time u get! Not enough time to think of how to seat the passengers n the extra time u buy with game coins is too expensive n too short of time! N the price of the help items is way too expensive also! I should have read the reviews first before getting game but the ad made it look like a fun game! It’s a great strategic game to try n figure out how to move seats around but it has become very stressful n frustrating when u got an almost full bus of seats n a short amount of time to play the game! Update: this game is not worth downloading! I have no patience playing a game that angers me! It became to difficult n frustrating trying to get past 1 level after countless tries! It’s a game not worth playing if it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to pass a level without paying to get the help items! 😡

by IGA Rep

Was loving the game, it’s one of the types that I like. But I’m looking for a fun relaxing game, not a raise my blood pressure game. So GET RID OF THE TIMERS!!!! Got as far as level 30. I’ve tried it about 15-20 times but can’t make it with the limited time. I can see how to complete the level, I just can’t get it done in the limited time. Stupid design. Gonna find something else

by Discovered Balls

It fun at first but then on level 18 it’s literally impossible to do if you don’t have 2250 coins and if you don’t you can’t get more and can’t do anything

by Starbreaker85

I am rewarded with an ad when I win a level. Most levels are very short/quick so I spend more time watching ads than playing.

by Lilllllllllllllllllzolivua

Been stuck on this dang level for 5 days I’m stressing so bad over it and there’s no way to skip it 😢

by StoneyZZZ

Not liking the fact that the watching ads for unlimited lives got taken away. Please bring back the unlimited lives with ads. Nobody likes to pay up 900 coins just to add only 20 seconds.

by Jmac3

The timer is too soon. Increase the timer to make it accessible for them

by Queen90210

not enough time to pass the hard levels… take away the timer or make it longer

by Cinny3

Money grab. If you get stuck there is no way to continue unless you pay. I enjoyed it but deleting because of the money grab

by Olliepop!

the game is a great concept, logic puzzle. Could be the best in the game app world if only…..
I paid $9.99 for the 1 hour play and 9.000 coins. Wanted to see how much father I could get if I could play longer. Never received the coins or the time. The little circle just kept spinning. I tried to email under “ contact us” in settings. No response. The lives take hours to rest and you are limited to 5 with no way to get more. I twice had a collision error in the game where a moved piece slid on top of another piece and the game stuck but the clock kept ticking down. It was my last move to win.
So sad, I thought I had finally found a challenging, logical game that was fun. If the developers would only improve a few things.

by Skemple12

This is my favorite game ever but the recent changes only allowing the purchase of 3 boosters at a time and the awful tiny amount of extra time allowed with a booster not to mention there is no way to earn extra time or gold to play are awful. I am deleting SeatAway . What a bummer.

by Alioop368

I really enjoyed playing this game. It keeps my mind active and using my problem-solving skills. Until you get to level 59 and you have no other option but to buy the extra packages to get past this level so with that being said, I will delete SeatAway, and that’s why I give it two stars and I’m disappointed

by Jasman Maggie1968

The game is addicting -great puzzle solving…the reason for the two stars is the producers limit themselves and you with amount of try’s. They don’t offer incentives to earn extra try’s or earn monies for the boosters. The recycle time for extra try’s is more than 6 hours…So basically you get to play one game every hour one time until you pass that level in which they give impossible times to do that. Very disappointing. Great product but being too greedy or stingy. People will get frustrated and move on.

by BeastCeasar

Too little time and to add boosters is too expensive. Some levels are impossible to get thru with the very rigid time limit. Especially without a booster. You don't make enough money when you win a level to buy the amount of boosters you need to complete an impossible time limit. I love this game but I'm getting very frustrated and will be uninstalling if I can't win without spending real money on boosters. I've already done it once cuz I like the game so much, but I'll not do it again. Please ease up on the time constraints.

by Marcie💙rea

I like this game but it only gives you at most 270 coins reward every like 4 games but it costs 900 for extra time if you don’t have the extra helps. I don’t mind the game being hard and making you think but it’s aggravating that it makes you have to spend money. Have more ads to watch for extra help. Also the helps should be rewarded each time or at least more helps given not have to get so many levels cleared before you get a reward or make the coin rewards more to be able to afford the help not have to spend actual money on the game.

by Twio97

I love this game. But when im playing it freezes or glitches alot and SeatAway it self would shut down or i would have to close it out and i would end up losing my game life everytime it happens. Especially during the middle of the game when im almost done! Its not fair to me.

by Megine57

This is a fun, addictive game that you can play when you only have short bursts of time. I updated it to version 5.3 the other day and now it's awful. The game lags, timer freezes, seats freeze while moving them, booster buttons are too close to bottom of the bus so they activate inadvertently when swiping seats around, after every level instead of an ad playing, it's a black screen and i have to close SeatAway and restart the game. After every level! It's become very annoying. I'll wait and see if/when they roll out a new update and can hopefully fix these issues. If not, tome to delete and find a new obsession!

by Gdave74

Look I get it the more adds you play the more money you get from the free players but I should not have to watch an add just after I beat a level to have to watch another add to get double gold.

A shame I kind of like the game if I didn’t have to wa check an add to watch an add.

by Dibby92

Nearly impossible to beat levels without using boosters or more time. They want u to spend a lot of money on this so they make the game too hard. I have my other puzzle games from a dif developer on level 1500! I’ve played it for 4 years off and on and spent a decent amount but it’s not impossible to play if you don’t have money to spend. Here you cannot even get past level 60 without spending 3$ every couple levels. Sorry not paying thousands for a game. I’ll stick to Gardenscapes 👍🏼

by Bessie_dee

The 2 stars are for entertainment value. Conceptually, a great game. However, by level 24, you’re needing to buy boosters or lives. The boosters are stupid: $24.99 bought me about 2 mins of game play. So, I’ll play this for free, but this is NOT a game that plays fair, so they’ll see no more of my money. I don’t mind spending a few hundred a month n good games, but this is a joke. I’ve done better in Vegas.

by Candace Green

I really like the game I enjoy trying to beat the clock. My issue is when you know you have more seats, colors etc…than the previous game you don’t have it set naturally at a longer time. If you would allow us to keep the time we finish a game early without loosing it, that would be helpful. Also I noticed when you first start everything cost 900 but as you level up it could cost 3000+. I’ve stopped playing because I can’t afford the cost of one level up. The next level will likely cost just as much and the money doesn’t go far. I am playing Parking Jam it’s FREE and Sort It 3D both FREE.

by MommaKat69

The game is fun, challenging and takes practice to complete but once you get to a very high level, you cannot complete a board unless you buy and pay for expanding seats, and other options to win and that’s not fair. I used to be able to delete app once I couldn’t get passed a level, then reinstall from scratch which was great, almost constant practice made me better but now, you reinstall to same level you lost and unless you pay to advance you can’t go any further. Needs to be fixed because that’s just gaming for money, so not fair.

by Mr2snafu

Great game, fun, challenging, and doable. Y’all need to get a “sort to relax” route and the “competition sorting” route separated. It’s infuriating that I need a level 10 to relax, but I can’t go back and play it and I can’t beat a level unless I’m out for blood. Someone needs to take the steroids off these sorting game so they’re just I’m tired and my brain doesn’t work, but I need to sort something so I can wind down speed again. Maybe don’t put a time limit on it? I’m not buying coins. Lame.

by Charmed598

I like really this game. It’s fun and challenging but it’s gotten very frustrating too. Why? Because the game gets glitchy and seats don’t move when you touch them. First I thought it was my finger because I wear lotion. I cleaned the screen of iPad and started using a stylus but that didn’t work. I try to grab a seat to move it and it doesn’t move then time expires. It’s so bad the tip of my stylus ripped. Please fix this issue.

by Bekahboymom

I love the game very addicting and love the challenges, but here in the last couple days it has started freezing and glitching. Sometimes when it’s supposed to go to an ad or when level finished it goes to a black screen and only way to get out of it is force close SeatAway and reopen it. Then it’s started delaying when moving seats it will freeze or not react at all when trying to move.

by K-man37

This could be a great game IF you allowed for other ways besides purchasing (like watching videos) to get power ups. Some of the levels (not even “hard” levels) are nearly impossible without using coins or power ups.
It’s very frustrating which makes me not want to play.
Also, there’s no options to change or report sketchy ads. I don’t mind watching ads BUT there are some that just need to be promoted somewhere else besides a puzzle game.

by Shauntel Frazier-owens

I really love this game but they need to make it more cost affective. It cost 1.99 for 1000 coins but it takes 900 coins to add only 20 seconds to a game so you can try and pass it. The second time around it cost 1900 coins to add only another 20 seconds. So essentially it cost $1.99 for a 20 additional try. That’s way too expensive. $1.99 should at least get you 5000 coins or it should take less coins to add more time. Like 100. Something to make it worth. I feel like I’m being scammed out of money. If that was different the game would be perfect.

by Prazinpoet

I would’ve given this 5 stars as it’s an awesome game that really is challenging and not claim it’s challenging but then a 2 year old could do it.

However I was on a high level and it completely froze on me; there was no way to contact anyone regarding the game. I looked on SeatAway urself which was totally frozen even after trouble shooting. Closing SeatAway , turning off/restarting phone, downloading updates, etc.

I also looked for a way to contact the developer to see if they could fix it, but no contact info in the Apple Store either. See I liked the game, I just deleted it and reinstalled it. So I’m having to restart my progress that I earned over the last few months.

by $Lux$

The game is very fun but the timer is very stressful if there could be an option to play without it that would be great. Also a way to earn extra coins would be great, I’m stuck on a level with a shorter timer and can’t get any extension without having to buy and pay for more coins.

by Elia_Rai

I loved this game. I’ve been playing it for a weeks, but now there are so many issues that it kinda annoying. I’ve been having trouble with by blue characters noticing that the gray seats are available. They won’t automatically move to it as they are supposed to. I typically have to have a blue seat available and the gray ones to get the gray ones to fill up. I also just played a round where all my characters were in their seats, but the timer kept going and I lost the round.

by TinkerX0804

On level 129 you only get so many people to get in seats and then you have a lot of left over seats and no more people. The level keeps counting down time like there more people and you lose the level cause you didn’t complete it. Not sure if it’s a glitch or what but please fix it

by Blueeyedsweet💜

So it’s a decent game. Some levels are more challenging than others. However lives are suppose to replenish every 30 minutes but don’t. Hours can pass and you only have one life

by Hb54nomo

This is one of the most good games I’ve played in a while. However, you can only get so far before you CAN ONLY BUY, coins to even have any chance to get to the next level. And even then there isn’t any guarantees you will get there after using all of your coins and continue to have to by more and more. This game is addicting so if you are a person with a addictive nature. PLAY AT YOUR ON RSIK! I did try to pay to get through to the next level. Then sometimes the game skips so they need to fix these glitches. They also need to make it so you can get through to the next stage without spending so much money.

But I did like it overall

by Wvgallo

While I really love the game play, I will be uninstalling. I wish there was an option to turn off the timer. It is not relaxing to be under a time pressure. I like figuring out how to solve and I hate getting down to one or two and time runs out.

by Joedskk

As with other reviews, I agree that this is a great game…..except it should have a whole game reset option. It should not have both timed games and unmovable chairs in the same level. We should earn hints/helps in each successful level. Additionally, let us go back wards and redo levels to improve our time and earn more helps.
Overall, it’s a nice game, but not as relaxing as others. It takes too much effort, and causes too much stress for the levels you get.
You can always turn off your wifi and cell data and play the game blind to prevent all the adds. But don’t waste your time on this game if you are a level-up kind of player unless you have money to spend to beat the harder levels.
I delete the game once a week to start over just to get to play!! Otherwise you can get stuck on a level that requires a n extra row for hours!!

by ThisTriniChick

Cool game but developers you need to, tell me:
•How I can get coins other than buying them? Daily logins would entice me.
•What else can I do with the coins beside continue w/ the game?
•Also maybe offer the option to play w/o the timer so ppl can learn how to play and get better at the games
•Maybe even consider side by side multiplayer games

by Shann730

I really like this game, And will likely end up paying for ad free soon. But I do have a few issues that would improve it for me.

1. Slightly more time on levels. I’m not as stressed out by the timer as others but on the more difficult levels there isn’t enough time to figure it out.

2. More ways to earn coins. If I’m stuck on a level (see #1 about time) there’s little chance of having points to increase time since the harder levels are pretty close together.

3. I’m very frustrated that I can’t seem to find out how to use all these vehicles I’m unlocking.

by ReallyAnnoyedWithThis

Made it to 181 and it’s an empty bus and I can’t skip?? Loved the game! Please fix!

by Kaniesah

Remove the timer

by Ninjamom2323

How do you beat level 59? Any advice would be appreciated.

by Jenfer1111

I absolutely love this game but they make some levels impossible to pass without buying coins. I actually did buy coins once and then the game glitched and the time used them, I lost anyway. This could be the best game ever if they would allow other ways to collect coins if you are stuck on a level. I got to one I can’t pass, so the game is done for me. :(

by Goofymoe

The game is good but I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t save where you are or you can go to a different device, like my iPad, and continue at the same level. You have to start all over. Also the game was stuck and I wasn’t able to push anything to get the game to start, it was updated, and when I deleted the game I went all the way back to 0 and I was at 510!!!

by Mst1217

Especially challenging on your wallet. It is virtually impossible to get past certain levels without extra time and/or an power up. I almost deleted it the other day but decided to give it another go. Now I am deleting it. I’m seeing it a lot lately, lots of talent out there in creating the games but apparently they want one game to make them wealthy.
The coins are slow to accumulate and expensive to buy, same with power ups.
If you’re rich and you want to blow all your money on this game, have at it. Caio

by Nuts With No Holes

I don’t mind time limits but most levels need two minutes or more.
The one level that was 3:00 was still difficult to move the seats around.
Also, the coins are too expensive!
I purchased once and never again!

by MamaBear0614

I do enjoy the game but 30 minute to receive 1 life is crazy. There is an option to watch an ad but I think it would be more reasonable to wait 10 minutes especially since the levels are timed.

by Reneedipe

I’ve been playing for a while. I absolutely love this game. But lately, it’s been super glitchy. Costing me coins because it jumps my finger down to the freeze or expand and wastes my coins when I don’t want to spend them. It’s burned thru a few thousand coins. Super annoying. I do love the recent updates that allow you to win coins or boosts by completing levels. That was a great update!! But please fix the glitches!!

by S Cat Sullivan

I really love this game, enough to purchase the ad-free version. The levels are challenging and fun; however, there are some levels that are physically impossible to solve without a power-up, aka cheating. I’m currently stuck on a level as I can’t purchase more coins and it’s physically impossible to solve without using the add a row power-up. I paid for the game, you’d think there’d be an option to watch ads for more coins other than just at the end of the level. Since that’s not possible, guess I’m deleting it.

by Chelleyea

I love playing this game! I love the variety in vehicles. But the new red is distracting. The other colors aren’t as bright as the red which makes it hard to concentrate. Maybe that seems odd but some of us are really having a hard time with it. Can you make the colors changeable? Also, can you have an option to not be timed so you can have unlimited time to figure out what to do and then turn the timer back on in order to pass the level? Just an idea. It’s a great game!

by Sewhl90

I love this game and have been playing it for a couple months. After the last update, the game glitches constantly. During a two minute level, it froze and lagged 16 times. Its constant to the point where I won’t play it until there’s a new update. Which I hate because I play this game every day!! Please fix so I can have my happy life playing this game back! 😀

by Redhead121639

I absolutely love this game and I would say I’ve become totally addicted to it! And, unlike several others who have written reviews I have not found it necessary to spend a bunch of money to solve the hard levels. It just took patience and sticking with it. Anyhow, I was very disappointed to reach level 241 and find my app just FROZE up. It’s updated, I’ve tried everything, but SeatAway no longer lets me play any further?? Anyone know what’s up with that?!?!?

by Got-robbed

I used an extra lane after figuring out how to solve the seating but just couldn’t do it fast enough. When I was dragging a 2-seater it GLITCHED and allowed the 2-seater IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. I physically shouldn’t have been able to drag it there due to the placement of gray chairs around the door. I tried to keep dragging it out but of course I couldn’t. So for the rest of time the door was blocked. I took pics. It would be nice if I could get my “add a lane” back.

by BigBob002

It’s a great sort of “mindless” puzzle game for passing time. It can get a little addicting, even. Thankfully it’s free, though you have to watch plenty of 5-second commercials to get through it.

Save your coins for level 618 though. You will be required to cheat in order to beat it. Those cheats cost in game coins.

by P.sweetheart

So this game is my favorite I play it all the time but today it keeps freezing up. It used my time boosts and now I can’t play I’ve closed and opened SeatAway and restarted my phone and I can’t figure it out. I’m on level 529 and I can’t complete it because it freezes. I’ve used up all my lives and it uses my time boosts without me pressing them I dunno what else to do

by Sm8796

Hello, I love this game and have even tried to use it with some of my students because the sorting skills could be helpful, but both them and I find timed games to be very stressful. I understand that you make money through purchases because the game is timed, but you’re really smart folks…I assume…I really think that you could come up with ways to make money through purchases with an untimed possibility. I know this isn’t just me, lots of people find timed games to add to their stress level instead of creating relaxation. Please try. Thank you for your talent!

by Briana95Janae

Made it to level 101 an it shows a empty bus love the game other then that

by Lik-Lik Starlet

The game has started to lag. Not sure if something happened with the latest update. But when I try to move a seat it doesn’t move right away. It takes about 2 seconds to recognize my move. Once this is address I will be back to playing the game. I cannot play it in it’s current state.

by Sqnowqn

I really love the game but, I don’t like that my progress can’t be saved to play on both iPads without starting from the beginning on each one.

by Birdyyyyyyyyyyy418

In level 435, I’m just wondering how many levels there are…does anyone know?

by Dsedlar

Suddenly this game got really easy around level 600, like they’d hooked you in, so now they just want you to watch ads. Some levels are very challenging, some are easy. All of them can be done without boosts.

by Guerra555

I downloaded this game, thinking it was going to be a silly time wasting game. I found that it was far more than that! I need to use that, logic, and reasoning in order to solve the level. Paying attention when you’re unable to complete a level is so important so that you can learn and play the next one.

In the beginning, I had some difficulty with the levels after I got past a few easy ones, but since then I have found I am quite good at this game and I look forward to seeing where it’s going to go! I love the added videos for energy and the additional items they’ve added recently like game playing more enjoyable.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH I REALLY ENJOY THIS GAME. IT’S NOT THAT IT’S JUST FUN, BUT THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY IT, DON’T GIVE UP, AND KEEP GOING

DEVELOPERS, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GAME. Fantastic!

by PandaBunny4147

I have been playing this game for a while now and love it! Found no issues with it so far and always a great way to get rid of boredom. I love the concept of the game and graphics. Everything works great! Some people complain about glitched but I have not experienced any problems. I definitely recommend SeatAway!! 😊

by Okieagle53

I love this game, but spending money is a waste with 1 and minus (10 second) than a minute. I almost spend 20 dollars on this. I better stop spending and keep on practice until I get there before-times up.

by Trinaann79

I wish this game didn’t have a time limit like bus jam the levels r extremely hard and I refuse to spend money for boosters 😩
