Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures

What it is

You will find Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures under Simulation on Google Play. Budge Studios lists it as free to download, and the short description says: Barbie fashion, design, dress up, cooking, makeovers, nails and fun girl games.

Reading the star ratings

Look at the bars rather than just the average. Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures scores 4.20, but the spread is 71.1% five star, 7.5% four star, 4.8% three star, 4.1% two star and 12.5% one star, across 1,186,393 ratings. Most people give it full marks, though the one star group is far from tiny.

Put differently, there are about 6 five star ratings for every one star rating, 843,251 against 148,330. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 8.9% of ratings (106,148 people). The listing shows 100,000,000+ installs, so the 1,186,393 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

What the listing says

Another line from the listing: “Create your very own Barbie DreamHouse experience”. The listing goes on to say “Explore Malibu or dress me and my friends up in fashion-forward looks to get picture ready”. One more point the description makes: “Help me design every room with wonderful wallpapers and dazzling decorations”. The description says: “Meet my best friends: Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts, Renee, a sports fanatic; Daisy, a talented DJ; Teresa, a science-lover; Nikki, an aspiring fashion designer and the one-and-only Ken”.

In the developer’s words, “Plus, my family including my fun-loving sisters: Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea”. It also states that “Roberts are joining in on the adventure”. Another line from the listing: “There are so many delicious recipes to cook”. These lines are the developer’s claims. How the game feels in your hands is something only a session will show.

The downsides

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, 12.5% of raters left one star, which is a visible group of unhappy players.
