To many Bugs
Ok game but way ti many bugs. Same as PC or console basically however Dino’s glitch through walls and spikes while being randomly teleported on other side of walls or spikes when rendering. Dino’s targeting AI is wonky as all get out. Set to “passive” “Stop” Scaro, Dilo will glitch though walls or battlements to target Dino’s on other side. Flying away and coming back resulting in normally needing to re collect Dino’s from an 2x2 area… not problematic but makes it difficult to keep food stocked on some Dino’s. Gates and door will randomly not shut or open, Have had this problem for months no fix, Fly away door or gate stays open leading to finding Dino’s as-well witch is annoying. Door is set as locked aswell. Random save crashes, Once in an while, game auto saves, game will crash and will lose progress to last save. Game will also randomly crash when using sleeping bags. Have not had an issue with any other sleeping item besides sleeping bags however when going to sleep game will black screen then go to phones Home Screen. Some supply beacons around mountains mostly but has happened crops map, will spawn in the air and not reach the ground at all. I have these same issues both in my IPhone 7 and 8. However these are the problems I’ve noticed, literally everything else is absolutely amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love this game!! Have been playing for years on the Xbox with the bro never gets boring!!

Read before YOU $
So I’m in the military so some areas have no service for a long time or time to play when deployed. So I added it up I spent a little over 3.4k$ on this game an while I was away they shut done the server I was on (you would think they would save an account like that) but when I got home an tried to play my account an server was gone it took me days to try an figure out how to contact support since there is not links in the game itself (grove street games email-btw) I let them no what happened an they told me all I could get back on my account was the blue prints (arketypes) so all the gold chains, griffin crowns ,crafting stations, wall an armor mounts statues an thousands of amber was gone an they would not help get it back! They also said they try really hard to let players no before a server shuts down I ask how do you try hard when I never got an email they said they let players no in-game an on Facebook but yet if your not playing the game your not looking at there site. the game itself is good for mobile game lots of happy memories (just don’t spend unless your ok with losing it) they really need to have disclaimer on the game page so people no about keeping an eye out for when they switch servers or you will be out of luck an they won’t compensate you for anything even if you have the receipt. Gl with the game have fun (I do plan to talk to app store about this)

Great game be needs a detail boost
The details for the smaller creatures are just fine along with some medium sized creatures, but for lager creatures that detail isn’t there, if you were to compare the spino from this version to the PC you can notice a decently big difference; not very smooth and lacking details. The same can be said for the trees, weapons, structures, and saddles. The map/ground also need more details; it’s too smooth and there is no pronounced blades or grass. While this has no effect to the gameplay, it would just be a way better game for the eyes. While I do know there is a heavy restriction of detail mobile devices can handle, and the severe difference of graphics a phone can show compared to a pc, I just feel like it shouldn’t look like a game meant for the Xbox 360. Even if the graphics don’t get an upgrade I will still play. One other thing to bring up is that I feel that the default maximum tames should be more than 40, but again that is my opinion. However other that that, 10/10 would play again and again and again. To add, if at all possible, I would love to be able to play scorched earth, aberration, and any other cannon maps (I can’t remember if there are more).

Hackers make this game impossible
Ive came to the conclusion that there is little to no way possible to advance in this game without being hacked away in seconds. There is no point to play unless you like running around and grinding for hours just to have a hacker spam rocket and plant full x plants around you! This was one of my favorite games it makes me sad that its so unplayable for the average player. If i had any recommendations it would be stop worrying about other dumb stuff like where u cant and cant build and fix your hacker problem its unbearable i took a couple month break to see if the team would fix anything ,it was just even harder for regular players. Have you played your game? Or do you enjoy hacking yourself? It is very difficult to even want to spend any kind of money or time into this game especially after beating the solo game and waisting hours in multi. The only way to become advanced is to know an alpha tribe with hacks it’s honestly pretty lame considering you wont be recruited until your lvl 99 and thats if you find a cool person! Please fix this game !

This is the best game I’ve ever played but get rid of hackers
OMG I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this game is although I leave four stars it would be five if it weren’t for pvp servers and how their are so many Asian hackers going left and right. Then after they wipe the entire server with their lvl 300+ hacked tames. They make these insta kill spawn zones so nobody can respawn at all claiming the server for themselves. Their objective just to be complete dicks everything they do is just for their fun and entertainment and that’s what I hate about this game because you have done literally zero about any of this. How can you watch these servers just get stolen from players who want to enjoy the game like Jesus this game is so much fun but then 20 hackers pop on and everybody eventually bites the dust for about 2 weeks because they wipe the server and set up spawn traps so you can’t live on the server. It’s so f@$&!? annoying I swear to god if you don’t get a grip on this soon I will and it really won’t be pretty for anybody. So please all I ask is you read this and realize their are so many things going wrong in your game because people feel the need to assert dominance because they have hacks to help them do so.

I used to enjoy playing ark mobile until it simply just got boring and then recently I discovered you can play the real version of ark with Xbox cloud gaming and realized how big of a downgrade ark mobile really is from the real thing. So in ark mobile there’s no point in getting tek armor when all you need is ascended flak armor but in the original game tek armor has advantages in tek armor and gear that revolutionizes the game. Another thing is bosses. I know that dungeons are fun and all but they’re so much easier to fight and there’s a much smaller variety in mobile while in the original game you get really cool bosses such as the titans and the overseer. Then there’s dinosaurs in general. So you do get some of the really cool bosses like the titanosaur and gryphons in ark mobile but there have to be at least 3x as many varieties of Dino’s in the original game some of the top ones being wyverns, yutyrannus, and gasbags. Maps: ark mobile has one map, the island, which is also in the original game on pc, PlayStation, and console but once again improved. There are also many more maps such as aberration, extinction, genesis, crystal isles, etc. the downgrade from the original to the mobile version cannot be counted even with the few improvements such as creature revival and soothing balm plus a few more. Ill give this one a 3 star rating in favor of the time that I once enjoyed it and because the original is so fun

Answer me this
I have well over 3,000 hours on ark For PC. Mobile, about half that I reckon. It’s fun. It engulfs you. The possibilities are endless…until. The Servers are all full! If you get bored because you can’t tame or build and take a few days off then you lose your stuff. Even if you try to keep your timers reset you will lose your stuff eventually. It’s horrible. Tame limits are maxed so you can’t tame or breed. Not fun. You can make eggs but can’t hatch them. Not fun. People max out their tribes membership and then fill the tame slots with creatures they don’t even use. People log on walk around reset the timers and log off. How can this be made better? Hey devs this is for you…Primitive Plus servers. No flyers. No big tames. Just a focus on adventure, building, clothing, agriculture and weapons. Sure tame a wolf, tame a dodo, tame small stuff that makes sense, but ride a horse! Put tribes of NPC’s everywhere that you have to defend against or maybe even win to your cause. Come on guys, take a page from the PC universe and mod this thing. Keep it alive or soon it will be dead.
Addendum: Since we are now forced into waiting 15 minutes to collect our monthly gifts, and no significant improvements have been made to the game…I surrender. My yearly subscription will not be renewed, and I am leaving all my belongings to the ethers. Thanks for the good times.

Let wimps be wimps
All people on here complain about is that the game is to hard ether you can’t catch something don’t know where to go or get killed at the start of a spawn that is the way the game is ,stop trying to make all the aspects of the game easy so you don’t have to do lazy players it’s a challenge for a reason it’s realistic in real life you are not going to catch a parasaurolophus the whole key to the game is taming that’s why they say tame your way to the top .literally everything about this app is great spot on the only thing I would of liked more is if single player you could have creative mode for free not all stuff make a way you gotta earn it but the amber is not easy to get the prices for the store is nuts cuz people pay for the game but you could make single player just like the console version to where you can use the. GCM or spawn codes make that for single player but maybe leveled so free players,(players who play the game with what they find or earn) can play the game without having to spend 1000s of amber to get the simple things from the store make it where you can earn each part of your creative mode abilities through a pursuit but only make the mission available on offline single play . Thank you for your time and consideration great game I hope it stays popular

Don’t estimate it
Oh my God I love this game so much the only problem I have is I’m just stupid :/so there’s only that problem that’s why but I’m not gonna lie this is a very fun game it’s just that I don’t know but when I got one of the mini dinosaurs It actually spit to make you walk slow when A creature kept killing me the alligator one my creature demolished it😳 but I was so surprised just to let you know I am the bad one that always plays casual and easy and the animal that kept killing me was a lower level than my mini creature The power source is not that bad all you have to do is get a stuck on some rocks and that’s comes as a problem to why does he always get stuck on it when you call out for him to come so I’m not gonna lie it’s not that bad last time I just kept getting killed by some bugs in the other time was well… I saw one of the most strongest creatures a Rex and a spinal just to let you know there was the rock creatures that was killing the Rex but soon it became night and I guess I was in a spinal spine so the spinal kept killing me just let you know spirals are somehow fatter than the people so I got killed. So this is why I gave it a five star game.

THE BEST SURVIVAL GAME
Ok so I downloaded it thinking it was another one of those money grab mobile games where you have to either pay for everything, or watch adds every two seconds. Nope! This is a REAL game. By ‘real’ I mean not just a cheap imitation of a survival game, which I have played a lot of. Basically you survive on a island of dinos. That’s what it is to most people but to me it is a game of alliances, Skill, strategy, and maybe a little luck. Only thing is that the creatures are alittle too op even for easy and casual mode. Anyways great game but y should def not download for a stress reliever cus it so enjoyably intense 😃 New: still love it I just feel like you should have more options when creating single play worlds like on ps4. Ik u can do it on public servers but not on single. I also think u should add lost island bc it’s so balanced and I feel like it would be a better map for mobile then just the island. Also plez make kibbles better. I like the reg kibble mechanic on ps4 and pc better than the mobile one. It’s just simpler. I also like that u didn’t skimp on the graphics and UI. It’s not as good as console but it’s ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL considering it’s on the mobile platform. Thx for reading!

Full of bugs developers neglect to fix
Look I’ve been playing ark for some time now, the game has brought good and bad memories and played a significant part of my life some times. When I started to play the game was thriving with most of the servers full with a mostly friendly community. As I played the game longer the community began to become mostly toxic and full of hackers and glitchers. There was also a increase of bugs, one of which was the occasional crashes and chat failing. Some of you may say that unofficial servers would fix the hackers and glitchers but most of the ones I found were dead with only a few people playing (like 2-7). Fast forward to the present I just started playing again after a 2-3 month break and most of the official servers once full now have 12-30 players active. Now if this is just a phase idk if they will come back, but I hope they do. I also do get that the developers cannot fix some glitches because they may be working on other games. I don’t want to pressure them or be rude but I’m just saying most of these bugs have been out for a while now. Idk if the devs did fix the hacker problem because I haven’t been seeing them a lot lately. I truly love this game and I hope it can find its footing again.

For the Worthy
I’ve played ARK for a while, and I gotta say, they did a really good job with it. Sure there are some glitches where you fall out of the map by meshing in the wrong areas, but it’s really fun if you know what you’re doing. Alot of these comments look at some of the early game struggles, but eventually you’ll learn ways to avoid them til you are high enough to deal with them at ease. Dungeon wise, it’s mainly RNG. Having end game equipment isn’t all you need. You need to be prepared with plenty ammunition, food, water, healing, and sometimes parachutes. My recommendation is ascendant high level gear, an ascendent pump shotgun, ascendent sword, ascendent compound bow, at least 2 stacks of cooked meat (preferably cooked normal or prime), 4 canteens, and 3 parachutes. My only real issue with this game, is the fact that many items are pay to win. This is only slightly balanced when you have them as dungeon loot, but buying them as arketypes is expensive. Just getting a frying pan can carry you to the boss in a dungeon. Overall, the community and creators of this game are amazing, and are really chill. Kudos to the makers of ARK that made such an expansive game with their limited crew.

REALLY GOOD GAME… However
So yeah, Ark Survival Evolved is a great game. However the graphics could use a touch up and it could use a bit of bug fixing. One of the things I hate about this game is the multiplayer. All the PVE severs are over crowded and there are too many structures and tames. When ever the space clears up, it is immediately taken up again. Even when the new severs came out they were almost instantly full. PVP is pretty bad too. It’s not overcrowded but the people there aren’t always nice. It’s super hard to get started when everyone is out to attack you, kill your tame, and destroy and loot your structures. And even when you get a really good house, eventually people with overpowered stuff come kill ALL of your tame and destroy everything you worked hard for. Also, private severs are just too hard and costly to host. I know single play is an option but many people want very badly to play with their friends. Like I said before, Ark is super good. But PLEASE fix this multiplayer flaws. I haven’t pick up the game since me and my friends hug stone house and powerful tames were all obliterated. I’m sorry but unless the developers fix these multiplayer flaws me and my group of friends are likely to use this game again. DISCLAIMER: If you are good with overcrowded and hostile multiplayer severs, or just prefer to play a really good single player game, then Ark would probably be a fun game for you!

Good, but something went wrong…
I love the game, but since it’s so big, I had to offload it for awhile, recently downloaded it again, and was playing for awhile, obviously it needed an update since it was still on the version I offloaded at, which was 2.0.12, as I was playing I enter a crafting menu and the screen enters the saving menu, which usually lasts about a second, but the music stops, and the game froze, it wouldn’t fix itself so I had to leave the game and restart.
For awhile I could enter the app only for it to freeze in the main menu, until I finally got back into the single player/multiplayer menu, tapped on single player, and was brought into the starting choose your difficulty menu…so apparently having to restart the game while it was saving deleted or corrupted my save data, I’ve never had this happen before, was it because my app was outdated? I was playing with my wifi on and was able to use ads just fine to get boosts, is there a way I can get my data back? I was a high level, and it’d be such a pain to start from the ground up.
I’m updating it now hoping it will help somehow?

Dude
Why can we only build squares what is up with that? Why can’t we have triangle pieces? I mean the game is starving for doing more with building things besides squares what’s it gonna hurt to give us more to work with? I know it’s probably a lot of work to add those pieces but ark is so boring only being able to build with such limitations it’s like y’all neutered the game when all u give us only squares. And tek Dino gates would really make the game more desirable. There comes a point when we say” I give up, this is old . We’re so limited this is all we can build with” and building is the biggest part of the game. Even if you made it so there could be engrams for triangle structures u could at least sell amber that way as long as they aren’t stupidly expensive. And why can’t we have and admin rifle? Why can’t we have cryopods? It’s not game breaking. No one on pc conplains about those lol. Even if mobile player complained so what they won’t quit playing. And the crhonicle system is just stupid. Ok u need element to chronicle and a structure to revive them. It would be less dumb to remove the need for a revive pad . Everyone would be ok with that literally everyone wants cryopods why does mobile have to starve for affection like this. I can’t understand any of these things at all. You want revenue but you refuse to do simple things like that to generate revenue . Please explain some of these things everyone wants to know why ark mobile is neutered compared to pc

Awesome game but needs more creatures
I absolutely love ark ever since my brother showed me it and it’s really great for the most part, but my gripe about it is the amount of creatures that aren’t in the mobile version. I and possibly other mobile players would love it if you would add all the creatures and not just a few, and my reasoning for wanting more creatures like the amount on Xbox and PC is because I’ve noticed that while I was trying to prepare for taming a thylacoleo, I noticed that I didn’t seem to be able to find any of them while searching for one, which got me starting to give up until I looked up if there was any thylacoleo in ark mobile, until I found out that there was none in the mobile version which got me sad and pretty frustrated since I was preparing for most of the day to tame one. Another gripe I have is that you can only tame 40 creatures on mobile which is very annoying since you have to kill a lot of your tamed creatures just to have enough room to get a new creature. And those are my only problems about the game but all in all, I still love this game even though there are some parts that can be quite frustrating, but it won’t stop me from loving it 🥰

Devs could care less.
I loved this game. Bought Primal Pass and a few other purchases. Even encouraged my friends to pick it up. However, I’ve made the decision to cease my subscription of Primal Pass and delete the game. If you’re just jumping into the game, you can’t build a base on land because the Alphas and other toxic high-ranked players will destroy everything you’ve built and gathered. So, you decide to build a base on a raft and keep it traveling around the island in the PVE zone (if you’re playing PVX) with hopes of actually building up something beyond a thatch shack. The problem is that, just as you couldn’t build a base on land, you also cannot build a base on water. The “raft trap” glitch is used by high leveled players to destroy weeks of your work in seconds. But that’s only half the problem.
In my case, I sent video and photo evidence of a toxic, level 99 player using the glitch to destroy my base (for the third time.) Grove Street Games’ response? I didn’t supply any evidence of abuse and misuse of a glitch. They clearly enjoy getting paid for subscriptions and IAPs but could care less about stopping hackers, cheaters, and glitch abusers.
Could be a great game, but the developers won’t get another cent from me and I’d encourage anyone to avoid their products. They certainly aren’t willing to do their jobs and seem content with letting their glitchy game ruin the legitimate players’ experience. Don’t waste your time.

This is AWSOME
First, I will say the pros about the game it is cool that you can tame More than 80 different kinds of animals. I myself HAD 2 Dodos named Scratch and Snach (They died by dinosaur :(.). Right now I have 1 Female turtle and a Dodo also named Scratch and the new Dodo is in a server. Everything looks really awsome and realistic which is cool I like the fact that there are different modes and difficulties. I like to play in single player but it does have multiplayer which is cool because most games like this don’t have multiplayer. It is a really fun game and there are many achievements to do and lots of places to see and explore and many battles and animals. Here are the cons, you can’t friend anyone only be in their tribe also you can’t make your own servers which I think is depressing. Last, there is no creative mode where you can build and tame and do everything without being killed and you can fly in creative and get everything free. Now is one really weird thing I found out. If you hit a tree with anything part of the leaves that are near where you hit will turn start to look like wood that has been hit and I want this to be fixed because it is annoying otherwise this game is cool and fun and free to download and I hope you do and tell me more things about the game 😊.

This game is really great, I’ve played it sense it released!!!
I love playing this with my brother, and have fun while playing with others. The PVP is great, it has its ups and downs by either gaining loot or losing it. I love everything about this game it is perfect and how close it is to the real game. BUT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS SENDING MY CHARACTER ACOUNT TO A DIFFERENT I PHONE WITH A DIFFERENT GAME CENTER!!! I am stumped I was asking because is there a way to send my character account to a different I phone with the conditions I listed above? Overall this game is great I wish it was a little ore like the real game but if it’s not possible don’t worry about it this game is great I love it and I will keep supporting y’all. If you can reach out to me that would be great, I’m on my mother’s Game Center that’s why I’m asking it’s kinda funny if you think about it 😂. I will list my gmail I use for nothing but for matter like this. This game is great I love the progress your team has done to this game. sincerely, MichaelC.

OP CREATURES AND MECHANICS
Let me start off by saying that ARK is one of the best and most fun mobile games. But OMG how many creatures are just way to OP. The Parasour is just so fast whenever I try to knock one out it just runs away and I can never catch up with it, not to mention that it stops for only like one seconds. There are more but I’m just gonna say my general idea. This game honestly seems more difficult then the PC version. Since you can’t see as clearly because of the graphics and buttons on the screen it makes it even harder to play the game. Not to mention when your in the water and you have fifty Megapirahnas behind you. I play on medium all the time and it’s really stressful which I think shouldn’t happen unless you choose hard mode or above. Now I have been playing this game for like two days but from what I can see there doesn’t seem a way to save your game. By that I mean to save it and like make a new game while still having that game saved. For example, if I finished playing and save my game and the next day I want to make another game I would still want to be able to go back to my original after. The last thing I want to change is to add a different option to holding the bow and arrows. The double tap just doesn’t work chief. 😕 I didn’t expect to write this much 🙂 I hope you can consider these things
