  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. [R4] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Don’t do it: Scam
  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. [R9] ATLAS:EARTH 3/5 · US Diamond collecting needs changed!!!: Hi. I’ve used this app for a few years now and it’s pretty cool. I haven’t been able to cash anything out yet, because my income is still too low. But I have an idea on how to make it better. I can’t always collect the diamonds near me because they are on other people’s rl properties. It would be nice if you could change it up to allow us to collect the diamond
  8. [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
  9. [R15] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US No rewards: The app lets you download and play games for Atlas Bucks as you reach milestones. I reached one last week and was told the problem wasn’t on there end so no reward. This is the third time. I believe it may be other developers but AE should be doing more to make sure the system is working.
  10. [R27] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Hardly worth it: I had this app a while back. I played for about a month. It was alright until I went to cash out. The money in the account vanished but I didn’t receive it. All I got was a ‘yes you did’ style message from customer support. I instantly deleted the game. I will never get it again because it’s so heavily advertised and they’re the most annoying ads ever. I actively hate and regret e
  11. [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
  12. [R63] EARTH 3D | Ultra real planet 3/5 · US Limited: I bought the full version and all I have is a rotating planet. It can’t do live wallpaper and no options except this planet. I wanted live wallpaper but no option for this. Would be nice to switch to a top view where you can see earth circle the sun.
  13. [R69] EARTH 3D | Ultra real planet 3/5 · US Not live wallpaper as advertised.: Don’t get me wrong the app is very nice. The graphics are great and it’s pretty cool how you can spin the earth and zoom in, but from my understanding I thought you had an option to set the rotating earth as a wallpaper bc right in the title it says “Live Wallpaper “. Unless I’m missing something. I only gave 3 stars bc this app has room for improvement. I’m kind
  14. [R80] EARTH 3D | Ultra real planet 1/5 · US Not worth the money: Just the earth, and not a live wallpaper.
  15. [R82] EARTH 3D | Ultra real planet 1/5 · US Boooring!!!!: It’s not a live wallpaper as earlier advertised, I don’t get it, why would they list it under live wallpapers yet it’s just some other fancy baseless app. My honest take. Cool graphics though.
  16. [R18] ATLAS:EARTH 5/5 · US Atlas earth ads: the ads are beginning just repeat themselves for minutes and simply annoying, why watch a full length movie to decide to download an app? i am starting to just close atlas earth when i see a long ad is starting
  17. [R21] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Compromised: After playing the game for over three years here are the things I have learned that only a long time player will tell you: 1. Your rent boost dramatically reduces the more plots you own 2. The Ads become more predatory and you will have to watch twice as many at a longer duration to get your reward, if you are even rewarded at all 3. The surveys are extremely predatory, harvesting pol
  18. [R31] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Ads,ads,ads: Even if this game wasn’t full of ads which it is. I was bombarded with ads as soon as I entered the game. I had this game downloaded for about four minutes and then I deleted it. TRASH GAME!! Would’ve given zero stars if I could. Come on people think logically if you’re gonna play a game by a PS4 five or six… at least there’s no ads!!!!!
  19. [R37] ATLAS:EARTH 1/5 · US Boring: When the ads come on and ask if you’re interested don’t reply because that’s the only ad you will see for the next 40 years
