Though I’d love to see some of the updates from ARK survival ascended come to this version!! ### 3/5 — Microtransactions *2026-08-23, version 1.10280* Love the game. Hate that you need to pay extra for literally customizing your settings (rates and such) as well as cryopods??? Of all things. Own the console version, love that. Wish they translated it better ### 4/5 — Really good game I love ark but *2026-08-22, version 1.10280* The servers tent to be really laggy and it kicks you off a lot of times for lagging but it marks it as speed hacking and sometimes when the server goes for roll back it resets your progress like spending keys it resets your progress you had with the keys but it doesn’t give you back the keys ### 2/5 — Dungeon *2026-08-22, version 1.10280* I have no idea how to do dungeons there is nothing that tells you how to do it or where it is. I don’t even know how to get a key and cant use the dungeon at the tower ### 3/5 — Idea for being able to turn into dinos *2026-08-21, version 1.10280* Imagine being able to turn to dinos like forms that saves us the risk of tames being killed or forced to land into dangerous places or being cornered Like want to turn to a rex either 1.get the last hit to be able to turn into the dino you killed 2.take a bite of the meat of the dino you killed to turn into the dino you killed 3.take the implant after killing or knocking out or taming Wild:once after turning into the form of the dino you killed as wild form remains as dimo for24 timer once until the timer is over you can change between dino and human form at any given time Tamed:no need for the 24 hour timer to remain as a dino you can simply take turns between changing dine and human form Imagine if this feature was added inot ark mobile and ark ultimate edition mobile it be cool and awesome ### 3/5 — can’t do gen1 missions *2026-08-21, version 1.10280* Z ### 3/5 — I like the game, but… *2026-08-21, version 1.10280* I love ark, and ark mobile was a great way to play on the tough, but when I tried joining an ark server for the first time, there was just no character creation, instead I had an active camera spot in the middle of the map. (The island.) ### 4/5 — Great game but a few suggestions and one problem I suggest fixing *2026-08-18, version 1.10280* Firstly, why did I lose my map when I paid $3 for it? Another problem is that North American servers keep crashing, by a LOT. I also suggest adding ark apocalypse servers and also unofficial servers. Anyone else reading this, I recommend playing on European servers. Also, please allow us to be able to place pillars on raft. ### 3/5 — Bought by mistake *2026-08-17, version 1.10280* Can you refund me ？I bought all the DLC separately，then I realized it is much cheaper if I bought together. Partial Refund please ### 2/5 — Hope soon *2026-08-16, version 1.10280* The official server are full no available making own server not available to add friend in the single play the game. Need to update immediately either way soon will start going down ### 4/5 — Great game but a few suggestions and one problem I suggest fixing *2026-08-15, version 1.10280* The problem is that North American servers keep crashing, by a LOT. I also suggest adding ark apocalypse servers and also unofficial servers. Anyone else reading this, I recommend playing on European servers. Also, please allow us to be able to place pillars on raft. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t not get through the mini game *2026-08-26, version 1.10280* I can get the meaning game is so hard to get the total alive ### 1/5 — ‏ما في شي معدودات *2026-08-25, version 1.10280* ‏وين مقيمة نجمة واحدة ### 1/5 — So bad *2026-08-23, version 1.10280* Is literally just a very bad version of the console and pc ark.
