  1. [R1] ATLAS:EARTH 2/5 · US Two stars: Two stars because it takes too long to make five dollars. Way, way too long to make five dollars. The only way this app would get five stars from me is if I could cash out whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
  2. [R3] ATLAS:EARTH 3/5 · US Mixed bag: 2.5 year user. Pros- Watch ads to boost percents, exchange virtual currency for more virtual currency to buy land, play 1st and 3rd party games, win or lose, repeat, grow, and enjoy. Cons- see diamonds removed from daily spins (even the pointless 1 for 1), “Win”excessive amounts of landmark tokens instead, never use them in any meaningful way, watch a small percentage of others (mainl
  3. [R6] ATLAS:EARTH 3/5 · US Meh: I mean… yes it’s fun? I played it for like a couple months (mostly on idle, I got pretty bored quickly) and I barely even got a cent. I’m not typically for advertising other apps, especially in the reviews of another app, but if you’re interested in free money stuff I’d personally try GeoSmile since I got 5 dollars in Amazon gift cards in the span of 11 days. This app is good if you’re engage
  4. [R10] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Waste of time: You know the ad says players earn ‘on average’ $75 a YEAR. You know how much that is per day?? 20.5 cents per DAY! I earn way more than that playing games on Just Play. And you know what the Atlas Earth game really is?.. it’s one of those apps where you have to play a game from the list to get to a certain goal in a limited time to earn atlas bucks. THEN you can use those to buy l
  5. [R14] ATLAS:EARTH 4/5 · US Decent passive game: You basically get paid a very small amount of money to watch ads and do surveys. Watching ads and doing surveys is boring, but getting the bucks to buy “real estate” is actually kind of fun. And watching my money grow is fun, even though it’s such a small amount. I know I will never get rich on this app because I don’t engage much. If I stayed on it all day, I might be maki
  6. [R7] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Rip off: It’s a rip off. Waste time playing the games they want you to play. Then you don’t get any credit for it
  7. [R12] ATLAS:EARTH 3/5 · US Turning to trash: I’ve played for over 3 years and haven’t spent a dime. Made over $700 by watching videos, playing and reinvesting. But lately it’s getting horrible to use some of the “features” surveys work maybe 20% of the time and the games for the arcade have a declining success rate for being verified. Waste. Now I expect the same stupid useless response from the developer that has nothing
  8. [R4] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Don’t do it: Scam
  9. [R11] ATLAS:EARTH 5/5 · US Scam: I have had this piece of property for months and it finally made its first penny so I just checked it again and it started me from scratch with the same piece of property!
  10. [R56] ATLAS:EARTH 4/5 · US No Customer Support: **Update** the developers have actually fixed the issue and I have changed my rating. My issue wasn’t the app, but the slow response from the support team. They have resolved the issue… There’s absolutely no customer support for this app. I have an issue with receiving rewards for games played. I have 2 open tickets with them and no response other than the robo response f
  11. [R61] Atlas 1/5 · US DONT SIGN UP: More like put you into debt card with our 8.99 monthly fee and 50 approval to spend. WORST BANK U CAN USE THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH YOUR CREDIT SCORE. U will have to constantly bother them for an account deletion. They will “waive” your balance and send you to collections.
  12. [R65] Atlas 1/5 · US Fake reviews: All these reviews are fake. Atlas might be the worst and most scammiest cards I have ever used. They kept charging me these crazy amounts of money (randomly saying I signed up for these subscriptions), made it extremely difficult to cancel my membership, and now they are haggling me saying I owe more money when I paid off my full balance when I cancelled the card. Stay away
  13. [R24] ATLAS:EARTH 5/5 · US All reviews are lies: You need to spend a lot money to make little to no money. Than on top of that as trying to be a f2p player they snub you of coins and give you bid tokens for something that doesn’t even work. What a joke. Someone said they made $11 dollars first month. I played for two years and just made $10 bucks. I have close to 164 land parcels. You get them by tokens. To get tokens you c
  14. [R62] Atlas 5/5 · US Credit score jumped up 50 points: I don’t understand this app
  15. [R90] Atlas 5/5 · US I love atlas!: I credit score has bounced up 155 points over two years even with a bankrupcty!
  16. [R95] Atlas 5/5 · US Great app: since I started using Atlas, my credit score has already went up like three points and I've only been using it for like a month. It's a really great app and it's super easy to use.
  17. [R100] Atlas 5/5 · US Great!: Just started using them not too long ago my score has went up 60 points !!!
  18. [R71] Atlas 1/5 · US Took 9 dollars against my consent: Took 9 dollars even after I deleted the app
  19. [R75] Atlas 1/5 · US They rack up fake charges: They will take money from your account and charge you fees for no reason up to 30$ they steal money from you and will randomly make you pay them a certain amount of money for no reason this app shouldn’t exist you can’t delete your account on your own so your stuck till they do it for you absolutely disgusting this app exist.
