  1. [R1] Egg 1/5 · US Bugs and crashes.: I've never played a game that crashes as often as this one. I'm on an up-to-date iPhone 15 Pro Max. There's no reason for an app to just crash like this. Then the bugs. Rounding errors and the game will use a boost even though I'm no where near the "Activate" button. I'm in the middle of the bar trying to scroll and it will activate random boosts because the dev doesn't care. Tr
  2. [R3] Egg 3/5 · US Boring: Boring game to me it’s has so many ads
  3. [R4] Egg 1/5 · US Ads.: Great game, but these Atlas Earth ads are genuinely unbrearable.
  4. [R11] Egg 1/5 · GB What’s wrong with the ads?: Decent idle game with nice graphics, but the ads so terrible it is not funny. Close buttons so small that you need a microscope. Why does Apple write UI guidelines when developers ignore them with impunity?
  5. [R7] Egg 1/5 · US Micro Transactions Galore: Just a cover to add as many ways to charge you $5 as possible
  6. [R33] Egg 4/5 · US Fun but expensive 🤑🤑🤑: I really love this game but I’m not willing to spend money on all of the skins and add ons. I would wish it was cheaper.
  7. [R45] Egg 5/5 · US I love this game: I’ve played this game for YEARS and the only problem i have with it is the price of the pro permit, lower the price and the game is absolutely perfect
  8. [R26] Egg 5/5 · US Fun game but takes a lot of grinding: So far this game has been very fun but it is a lot of sitting and waiting to get more money and also you have to completely restart many times to unlock core functions
  9. [R9] Egg 1/5 · GB Remove the report button: I was kicked because I was working when they just kick me and hopefully I get my reward still as being max out I can’t do more from my session kick me out for what not cheating it as I can’t leave a contract hint force real contact on it so owner can’t be kicked

  24. [R116] Weed Inc 5/5 · US Hell yea: I’m fried as hell playing TS
  25. [R120] Weed Inc 4/5 · US Surprisingly Like AdCap!: This game has a similar mechanic to AdCap but with more depth and it’s weed! What’s not to like?!
  26. [R54] Idle Miner Tycoon 2/5 · US Used to be fun: I used to play this game daily and it was pretty fun, no pop ups or attempts for adds but unfortunately like every other game it is flooded with them. When I re downloaded it after not playing for a year I was caught off guard by about 15-20 pop ups when I opened the game and it was super annoying, it also keeps offering adds for boost. It’s just not the same
  27. [R57] Idle Miner Tycoon 2/5 · US Garbage still hasn’t changed: I’m still exiting out of each ad that pop up, it’s been 5 minutes and I haven’t even seen the game yet. Haven’t played in a year came back and immediately remembered why this game is trash. IT DOESNT MAKE ME WANT TO BUY YOUR GARBAGE. Just make 1 menu for all your ads and promo, if I’m going to spend money I will. But I will NEVER buy anything off such an intrusive
  28. [R60] Idle Miner Tycoon 1/5 · US Too many ads: I can’t even start to play without at least six ads to upgrade this or that. Not worth it.
  29. [R65] Hooked Inc 1/5 · US I paid and I’m still watching ads: This would be a fantastic game if it didn’t involve the worst kind of ads. I paid for the no ads version because the game seemed super fun but it’s still requires me to watch a ton of ads to progress through the normal game mode. Not even bonuses. Two achieve the normal game challenges long-term and short-term you’re required to watch the worst types of ads lik
  30. [R68] Hooked Inc 2/5 · US Paid for ad removal: I paid for ad removal, but he still is still making me watch ads. If that was the case, why made me purchase it if I’m just gonna have to watch them anyway
  31. [R71] Hooked Inc 1/5 · US waste of time: i needed gems and im not spending money on this game luckily and ad poped up to give me then but it wasted my goddamn time, i washed 4 ads before giving up, the first two i thoughti pressed wrong but no it the goddamn app
  32. [R74] Hooked Inc 1/5 · US Ad Rewards: This is stupid. Almost every time I try to watch an ad for a reward I don’t get the reward. Other than that stupid issue this game is very good.
  33. [R79] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Unplayable now: Unable to play offline and ads that can’t be skipped. Looks like the development team gave up and is using AI to reply to bad reviews. Uninstalled after reading other recent reviews. Do not play this trash game.
  34. [R96] Bee Factory! 1/5 · US Pure Greed: Idle has lost its way, surprisingly joining the ranks of the scammers. Nothing illegal, of course, but charging $7.98 per week? Almost $500 per year? This was downloaded, and then deleted faster than a cockroach landing on my face.
  35. [R105] Bee Factory! 5/5 · US Beeeeeeees: Yo there is so many bees dude adds are optional so fun Ty’s to the devs
  36. [R107] Weed Inc 2/5 · US So many adds: Really fun game super addicting, js so many ads, the ads really need to be shorter, I had like 6 ads that where each like 2 min long, insane. Guys y’all really need to work on that, I don’t mind having it set up to you get extra things like coins or other strains exc by watching ads js please dknt make them so long, maybe like 10- 15 seconds 25 is stretching it.
  37. [R110] Weed Inc 1/5 · US Ads never end: All ads just run forever, there’s no way to x them out after the timer is done
