  • BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!

    I play this game every day and I love it! I haven’t spent any money on it and even though I haven’t made it too far, It’s still fun to have up to the ruby mine, but I also have all the mainland mines, to, and plus the event mine sometimes. I would recommend it, but there’s just 2 things. 1. I feel that the event mine should give you the normal mine money, but at a percentage of the event money. Like say you get 2ac, then you should get 50% of that, like 1ac. 2. Just my personal thought, the chests are a little overpriced. I mean, I haven’t bought super cash off the store, but 400 super cash for a common chest!? And I’ve seen the offers in the store, to. 4,800 for a legendary, but with a $20 dollar offer you only get like 2,500. And I don’t write reviews, but I really liked this game so much that I had to! Can you please look over those things, but other than that, I would recommend this game happily.

  • Great game BUT

    First thing - I love this game. It’s fun, relaxing, exciting, I love new stuff and event mines and everything else. I have a few issues. This game likes to crash. Not so much that it closes itself, but it will suddenly go black and I have to close it. Two, I keep trying to watch videos to boost my mines and double my idle cash and all the other rewards. But the video won’t load! I don’t get how I can play this game for a week in a place with terrible signal and I wasn’t on WiFi once that week, and then I come home where I’ve played the game before and had no problems but suddenly I can’t watch any ads. Which means I can’t boost my mine, I can’t gain more idle cash, this game just got a lot less exciting! It’s not just the videos not becoming available, sometimes they do become “available” but I try to pull it up and it’s a black screen. I can put my phone down for twenty minutes and it still doesn’t load. So great game, I love it, but please fix the functionality!!!

  • I absolutely LOVE this game but...

    This game is so fun and addictive to play. I’ve been playing basically every day since November now, and it’s such a fun game to play. However, out of the 7 months i’ve been playing, i’ve only gotten 1 legendary worker. It’s already really really hard to get the chests in the first place (unless you buy them with actual money or you save up your idle money. Or you wait a whole month to get one) but most the time you don’t even get a legendary. Just a bunch of commons that I already have TONS of. Also it’s super hard and difficult to get a darn super manager. You have to restart a mainland mine every time, and now that I have two after forever, you have to unlock and restart more than two mines just to get enough of the shards to unlock a new manager. It takes so long to restart and max out two mines just to get one new manager. It’s just very frustrating cause I just want my super managers! However, I won’t give up on this game. I highly recommend playing it and it’s lots of fun and again, really addictive. I would just like those things fixed.

  • More like idle crash tycoon

    I used to love this app, and I've had it for multiple years. I also got the factory one around half a year ago. But for MULTIPLE MONTHS this app (and even MORE the factory version) has had a MASSIVE crashing problem. I've literally waited for months for SOMETHING to be done about this, but each time I get excited after an update and try the app again the issue is STILL there. The final straw was the most recent update from a few days ago: an OVER 100MB update (so I couldn't get it until today when I finally remembered and had internet) that STILL failed to address this MASSIVE issue.
    The bug works like this: I load up the app, and all is fine until I decide to go to the map/a different mine after more than 90 seconds of having the app open, where it abruptly crashes. I'm at a high level, so now it's virtually impossible to make daily checks on all of my mines, because that would requireat least 10 re-openings of the app, not including events, lost saves, and crashes that happen at other times during play. The problem is FAR worse in the factory one, like I said in my review for it.

  • Suggestions!

    Heya! Please read to the end! I play idle miner everyday, and I have some suggestions. One, with the collect all button, we should be able to collect all our stuff without unlocking all our mines. We can’t because we have to unlock the mines! That’s ridiculous. We should be able to unlock the button when we buy the gold mine! Two, the event mine money should be converted into our regular mine money. If that would happen, the event mine would have more of a purpose. Three, I unlocked the mainland mine and I need to buy dawn continent gears for research. It says you need to unlock the dawn continent. Ok how am I supposed to get more income if I can’t buy the gears?! Four, why do super managers cost so much? I know they are better managers but really? One hundred green gems? You have to replay every mine and you don’t even keep the shards you made! I was at aw and I have to start all over. Sure we can keep our money for the regular mines but not for the mainland mine?? That seems unfair. Five, the chests are great, the rare chests give me epic cards sometimes but I think the chests are overpriced. The idea to earn super cash by working in your mines, but 400 super cash for a common chest?? Seriously overpriced! Most of the time you don’t even get rare cards from it. I would recommend this game, it just needs A LOT MORE!

  • Great game but needs work

    I love idle miner! It truly is a fun game but it needs some improvement. First of all, expeditions. I appreciate that you can get stuff but seriously it takes like 5hr. I know that if you add friends it will go faster but I don’t see a difference. Now let’s get started with the coal mine. I’ve played this before and stopped because I wasn’t really interested anymore. I came back because I thought you made some improvement. Back then I had a really good “tycoon”. But to my surprise, it didn’t save. I was pretty sad and still am now. It takes wayyy too long to get to 15 levels. And it’s nearly impossible to get aa. (The thing after T.) And whenever you get like ten levels you have to wait 3hrs to break the boarder. Overall this game is fun and addictive. But because of those issues I’m sorry to say but I give this a 4 star.

    P.S Is it just me or does everyone gets blackouts and then it kicks you out of the game. Developers and readers thank you.

  • Not bad

    I have been playing this game for a while. It is a decent game. It does get repetitive after progressing so far. They have tried hard to minimize this though. The new addition of the dawn continent is the same thing as the previous continents. The super managers do help and they are something I personally under utilize because of the pain it is to go and click on the managers in mine to start there powers. I am on the dawn continent. And my cards are on decent levels. Except for the legendary cards. Those are very rare and a pain to get. I have enjoyed this game for what it is an idle miner game. If I miss a few days of logging in or even a week it isn’t a big deal because you still accumulate money. The main thing I did is try to max out the idle benefits. For example when I watch an add it now multiplies it by 3.65. The advertisements in this game are there but they are not in your face. You actually get a benefit from watching the adds and you can choose to watch them. I have watched more adds in this game than others but it is by choice. To get an added bonus. As far as the game crashing I haven’t had this issue.

  • Reflections

    After having the game for almost two full months and playing every day, I have ‘pinions. First and most important the games crashes, A LOT, and more so as a video add loads. It’s just annoying having to open the app continuously. Secondly and related to the first, the game looses your progress after the crash; coins, levels, rewards. I just lost a rare chest from a rare expedition completion. I was so excited to open a common chest and a rare one, CRASH. Opened the game again and only had a common chest and a newly restarted expedition(sad face); my loss. I’m not deleting it yet though. The game is highly addictive. You choose how to make it to the top. I myself am still learning the in’s and out’s to make profit fastest. Which brings up this ‘pinion’, using duplicate gems (X2) and (X2) at the same time doesn’t increase your multiplier, just removes one more from your inventory, so beware. I love the money system(aa-ab-etc.). It’s a low profile way to write big numbers. I am going back to playing the game now.

  • Horrible don’t waste money on it

    They never balanced the game but rather have my review removed (probably what happens to all there negative reviews btw). On a 25 level mine I make an entire letter grade under which is longer than it was before when I first got the game. U can pay 12-50$ for speed but that obviously just for kids playing on there parents phones to be suckered . At this rate it would either take a year or 2 of grinding or lots of money. And on top of all of that it now consistently crashes switching islands. It’s almost like they have a background process running under the game because the game can’t be that strenuous on an iPhone. But you all don’t care. So to anyone reading this stepping on legos is more fun than this game unless your an Arabian prince with money to throw around. Go ahead and read there response to other comments. They literally advised u to use boosters, but u only get them though daily draw sometimes, expedition sometimes and after 3-24hour wait, and playing the event min or u shell out money which is what they ultimately want to scream at you. And let’s not for get the research ,” want to play the game was meant? Just buy all these skill points and we will make the game playable for you” so go ahead and remove it again and I’ll retest and put u on blast for your terrible ethics

    Hello, thanks for your detailed review! Rest assured your review was still visible to us, it was not removed. To address your other concerns: since we created the game we have indeed made balancing changes, these are necessary to keep the game fair and fun as we add new content, e.g. new Mainland Mines. For the money spending, this is always entirely optional - our game is completely free-to-play and everything can be achieved without money :) Regarding the crashes between mines, please collect all your Idle Cash from everywhere including Mainland and the Event, this should fix the problem! If the problem persists, or you want to discuss any concerns further with us, please get in touch at community@idleminertycoon.com
  • Was fun but 41 Second Ads

    I have been playing for a few months now and I did not mind watching the ads for boosts, they were around 15-30 seconds and when the X popped up to close them it simply closed the ad. Now the ads are almost always 41 seconds long. (19/20 ads were 41 seconds long from what I am experiencing) and when you try to close the ad when the X pops up, your automatically redirected to the App Store. If you accidentally touch the screen, your automatically redirected to the App Store and the clock on the ad is frozen until you go back to the ad. So an Ad can possibly waste up to 50 seconds of your time. Not to mention you have to watch ads for every continent. So 3 continents which takes about 5 Ads each to max out boost for the day so that’s a total of 15 ads. That you’ll be spending at least 41 seconds on each ad. Plus you also have your Gem mines that’s another 5 ads. Plus your Event mine which is another 5. So all in all 25 ads to make progress in the game because after a certain point the standard gameplay isn’t enough to progress anymore.
