Then we lost it in a fire and had to buy it again on my phone since it doesn’t do family sharing. We got her a new iPad and she finished all the levels (she’s 5). My main issue is that she was so worried about rescuing the box and then when she got to the end, there was no video to show the rescue. It’s been 4 months and she keeps going back to look for it. This app isn’t supported so shouldn’t charge so much money. ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-01-05* The game is great and the graphics are amazing but needing to buy more levels and only stops at 15 it is not the most enjoyable ### 4/5 — The teensiest problem ever *2022-11-23, version 2.2.0* Honestly I think it is a really good game but there is the tiniest problem for me it may not be for others but it’s for me I feel like there could be more interesting code instead of just moving forward or moving sideways I mean all the characters are kind of cute end it all looks amazing it’s just I feel like it’s a little easy for me and that’s why I read it as a four-star so if you added in some more commands that would be great ### 4/5 — Box island review *2022-11-05* The ones below 77 are way too easy and the ones above 76 are Way too hard ### 3/5 — Errrr 😐 *2021-01-18* I loved this game until I got to level 10 my school told me to download this game so I did and look 👀 I had to pay real money 💰💵 so if radiant games ever read this please change it ### 4/5 — Great! But... *2020-10-28* My son enjoyed this app. He wanted to try to complete all the levels, and always tried to do three stars! When he finished, he asked me to buy more levels. I looked for how, but apparently, there are only 100 levels. I would love it if there was more! My son keeps asking for more levels, so i have to tell him how there are only 100 levels, and he isn't very happy... If you can have more than 100 levels, like 500 or somethin, up to you, then i will change it to 5/5. Also, please make it so when you save the green box, you have to find different objects to help you get back or somethin like that... Thanks for reading. Best Regards, Unnamed ### 4/5 — Okay, I like it but... *2020-06-04* When I finished level twenty, it said I had to pay for the rest of the levels. WITH ACTUAL MONEY. I mean come on! ### 3/5 — Box island *2019-11-24* I really enjoyed box lsland I came to level 10 l and my mum had to pay 💰 if you can’t do the levels why are the clips there!!!! I think the clips should just be there. ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-09-10* This is stupid you shouldn’t have to pay to learn BASIC coding with freaking blocks😤 ### 1/5 — Crazy expensive game!!!! *2019-08-19* We where really enjoying this game until we got to a certain point and we had to pay to carry on with the levels. Nevertheless it did not make it clear that you had to pay money to continue with the game! Hugely disappointed- as we where enjoying it lots and it seemed like a great game until this point. Do not recommend to anyone as it is unfair to have to pay to carry on with levels..... We where more shocked to see it was so highly rated!! ### 4/5 — Don’t buy if you want to use on family sharing! *2019-07-14* Was happily playing, then it gets to the level where you need to buy... but because its an in app purchase it won’t transfer to the rest of the family! Have noticed since you can buy the school version outright that this would then be a full version able to be downloaded by family sharing!?! Don’t get caught like I did! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 🤬 *2024-11-15* I got to like the last level and it said I have to pay for it ### 1/5 — Box Island primary level - freezes and I can’t find support *2024-05-04* The game is informative and interesting but when you are in the first level at trial twenty six the game freezes and won’t load. I can find no support site to report or get help. ### 1/5 — I don’t like it *2024-05-03* Only the first 10 levels are free and I won’t pay for it ### 1/5 — Good but *2021-06-29, version 2.2.0* You can only go to level 10.After level 10 they will ask you to buy ### 1/5 — There might be a few things disgusting about the app *2020-12-07* In the level each and every time you start the game see you know they’re in the sandbox that he jumps on it kind of looks like that he pees on every block before he goes on every other one I think that might be the only thing that might be disgusting that this app and the purchase doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Way too extensive and very misleading *2020-05-19* I’ve installed this game on my iPad to try it, with the intent of installing it on my two kids’ iPads (family sharing). When we get to the end of the free version, we get an offer (while playing) in the app to pay for the next levels, which I stupidly did. Inside the app, nothing reminds that the upgrades cannot be shared. You have to remember that from the small prints in the App Store. Thus, I ended up with an expensive app on my own (adult) iPad, which is totally useless. Now, If I want my two kids to use the app, either I have to lend them my iPad (which I don’t want to do because I need it), or buy the app two more times (for a total of three). I think the least would be to remind parents, in the app, that it cannot be shared. ### 1/5 — Too hard bro *2020-05-01, version 2.2.0* In hour code level 20 is so hard bro its such a ripoff dude ### 1/5 — Me *2020-03-30* Only let me get up to level ten then I had to pay money just to play! ### 1/5 — Why *2019-11-07* Why do you have to buy something to move on ugh my family does not have much money ONE STAR ### 1/5 — T is so bad *2019-10-30, version 2.2.0* I got to level 10 and had to pay very bad app!😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gift card luck! *2023-02-20* When I got to level 1-10 I needed to pay but I remembered that I had a gift card! ### 5/5 — Response to Richard Higgins IV *2021-08-03* Try using ITunes funds/ purchase moneys. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2021-07-08* Loved this game. My 11 year old was through it in two days. Would love to see an update with more levels!!!! My 8 year old is taking a little bit longer but loving it as well. ### 5/5 — Nice 👍 *2021-05-30* My name is Paris and my friend Kamari I am going to put this app on his iPad so we can play together with box island and have fun! ### 5/5 — Box island is awesome *2020-08-31* I love Box Island! I play it a lot. ### 5/5 — Box island so the best *2020-05-06* Box island is sssssssssooooooooo good! That price ssssssooooo cheap for me that my dad buyed it all the way to the second place ### 5/5 — Great game, one minor issue *2020-04-17* My son loved this game (and for those complaining that they have to post to go beyond level 10, I wonder if they work for free like they expect the developers of the game to?). I think the price was very reasonable given the fun and learning my son and I had together. One small issue though - when you’ve completed level 100 and watched the final animation, it’s impossible to watch it again like you can with all the other animations. If you click on the video icon it actually plays one of the previous videos instead. Obviously a coding error (the irony!). ### 5/5 — Box Island *2019-11-30* One time for this app it’s great to use this for freedom purposes only for this purpose of reading this book to read to others for this amazing experience of this article I would recommend this product for anyone looking to write this review for this topic for example to make an appointment for this project for this class for this semester to watch this fall break for this summer trip for this opportunity for this event for this group of students to learn to share their own stories of what you did for this moment of choice for this beautiful evening of art show this one of opportunities for this young lady to shine for this beauty for this wonderful woman of mine made of this world of happiness for this great family member for this matter of fact I will never forget this one of these days for this company to offer this one for this month for this whole day to visit this one of many years for my first day of my first day of my day of the past day of my first day of my day of the first day of my day of the day day of my day day for my first day of my day of this one I will get my first day of my first one this one of the one of my days of my career my first one I will get one of my great results for this ### 5/5 — OwO *2019-06-06, version 2.2.0* Oof ............ ### 5/5 — Like the game *2019-05-24, version 2.2.0* Love the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
