Make It Rain offers a simple, addicting gameplay experience focused on reinvestment, which many users enjoy for its nostalgic value and ability to pass time R7. However, the game is plagued by an excessive number of forced ads, bugs that cause loss of progress and in-game currency, and a high monthly subscription cost for ad removal, making it a frustrating experience for many players R3R17R28.

Free vs paid

The free version of Make It Rain provides the core gameplay experience of swiping money and reinvesting in businesses and financial investments R4R7. However, it is heavily monetized with frequent, forced ads that appear every 30-60 seconds and often interrupt gameplay, sometimes even consuming bonuses or causing the app to crash and lose progress R3R9R11R14. The paid option to remove ads costs $9.99 per month, which many users find to be an exorbitant price for a mobile game R3R13R15R17.

Worth paying if

It is not worth paying for this app due to the high monthly subscription cost for ad removal and the numerous bugs that persist even for paying users.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip this app if you dislike frequent, intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay and steal in-game rewards R3R9R11R14. You should also skip it if you are unwilling to risk losing game progress or in-game currency due to persistent bugs and crashes R2R5R6R28.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating is high, but recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative, focusing on the excessive ads and game-breaking bugs. The monetization details from the product page are limited, only showing price points for in-app purchases without specifying what they unlock, though reviews clarify the $9.99 is for a monthly ad-free subscription.

  1. [R3] 2/5 · US I mean the name fits: Devs have chosen to force an ad every 60 seconds instead of making ads an optional thing to progress the game and if you don’t want ads it’s 9.99 A MONTH! I mean you guys nailed the “love of money” part
  2. [R13] 4/5 · US love this game, but: *[UPDATE: the splash screen actually does appear but extremely quickly at least on iPhone] earlier version used to have splash screens with philosophical quotes about money. i miss that (were they removed to make more time for ads?) *ads are really frequent. i like the game enough to pay for it and remove the ads, but not ten bucks a month *the FBI thing users wrote about m
  3. [R15] 1/5 · US Ad Free Cost: Why is Ad Free 10 bucks a Month???
  4. [R17] 2/5 · US Used to be fun - ironically a cash grab now: I played this game a long time ago, shortly after it first came out. Got some nostalgia and decided to play it again recently, and while it’s fun for a while, the ads are now so pervasive that they make the game almost impossible to play without buying the ad free version. Not only that, but the ad free version is a $10/month subscription rather than a
  5. [R10] 1/5 · US Nostalgic, but with ads.: Played this when it came out years ago, eventually stopped and wanted to try it again as it crossed my mind today. Read another review similar saying how many ads there now was but I hadn’t gotten any, until 10 minutes in where I got them back to back, and that made me soooo upset. I don’t even remember this game having ads before?
  6. [R11] 1/5 · US Ad City: Can’t even play for ten seconds before an Ad pops up. Ads are scammy and pop the payment button up when I am trying to close the app. This app is trying to steal your money by “accident”.
  7. [R2] 2/5 · US Ads literally taking your money: I keep running into this problem where an ad plays just after I level up or o receive some prize in the game that would boost me forward but after the ad plays it literally disappears. Sometimes I’ll play the risk game and an ad pops up, doesn’t even play. Like it’s stuck on this forever loading screen no matter how long I wait and when I assume I can just close the
  8. [R5] 2/5 · US Love this game BUT: I’m getting pretty good at money match and…3x now after a series of wins plus “take the money and run” … the app force quits and when I reopen my recent earnings are gone. I pay the monthly subscription.
  9. [R9] 2/5 · US What’s the point: It gives me a timed upgrade that only lasts for about 15 seconds, but then it gives me an ad right after so by the time the ad is over the upgrade is over too
  10. [R14] 1/5 · US Imagine having ads so bad the ruin your free bonuses: This app sucks, I hope your wrists look like my username
  11. [R6] 1/5 · US Earased MY PROGRESS: The game completely reset my entire progress i had the $20 golden bills and everything was level 35 and everything just completely reset on me
  12. [R28] 3/5 · US Bad Glitch: Every time I win the Money Match the app closes itself and takes my money as if I lost. I click “take the money and run” and as soon as I do it flashes the screen where you swipe money for like 0.05 sec and the app closes itself immediately after. As soon as I reopen the app all my money is gone. And whats even worse is I just spent 12 pigs to get 5 more moves to win that. And now I on
  13. [R4] 4/5 · US would love an update!: this game is so fun and i play it before bed every night, but its been SO long without an update. it would be nice to see some more businesses and financial investments you can buy. the last business purchase is roughly 15KBBB (after maxing business prestige) but my current prestige minimum is 258KBBB, so after i buy and upgrade everything i can, im still waiting a bit befor
  14. [R7] 5/5 · US Great Game: Simple and very fun game that teaches an important financial concept, which is that it’s always best to reinvest into your income instead of hoarding money in a savings account with a tiny little interest rate.
  15. [R12] 5/5 · US W app: Amazing game
  16. [R18] 5/5 · US This is fun: This is fun
  17. [R19] 5/5 · US Does this give out real cash: I was just wondering is this app give real money or is it just for fun I tried connecting to support but I got no response or anything
  18. [R33] 5/5 · US Make it rain: I love this game I still haven’t gotten any money yet but hopefully I will soon…………this is a very fun,exciting, great game to unwind
  19. [R98] 3/5 · US How?: It’s an ok game, a bit boring, but how do you cash out? I would love to be able to actually see the money in my account
  20. [R121] 5/5 · US Money usd: Can you really get real cash So confused
  21. [R39] 3/5 · US Can’t connect to Facebook and start off where i left: ^^^^^
  22. [R41] 3/5 · US Fun but can’t save progress: I really like this game and I’ve played the game years ago and had a lot of money. But now when I redownload the game it won’t connect to facebook so I have to start over again. Please fix so I can get my saved progress.
  23. [R50] 2/5 · US Was fun until it wasn’t: Started out great and it was a fun game to play. The ads are a bit annoying but the problem I have now is there is an ad that pops up that forces me to have to close my game. Other ads will not load and if I try to get the bonus for swipes, the game freezes. Sent an email but no response from the developer. Hoped to save my progress by linking FB but it says it’s not avail
  24. [R55] 2/5 · US Lost my progress: Played this game for years even made purchases but ever since they disabled facebook lost everything and cant get it back this has been going on for years now
