Constantly crashes when I try to open the app. ### 2/5 — Update app to fit image to phone screen *2024-02-07, version 1.25.0* The game is cute but the image is off. To exit out or hit certain buttons is almost impossible because it’s not fitted into the screen. Almost like it’s zoomed in ### 3/5 — Repetitive *2023-09-04, version 1.25.0* So, for a younger kid, I can see where this can possibly be fun, but I also see where the child could easily lose interest. As an adult, it was fun leveling up at first. I am now at Level 47, and it is really starting to get boring. It’s the same thing over and over. ### 4/5 — It’s a cute game but not fitted for iPhone 12 *2023-01-13, version 1.25.0* I don’t know why in this day and age a game from a big company would be released Lille this but it is not figured on my phone. Menus cut off at the edges. It mostly works but it’s more annoying than anything but honestly I will still keep playing it. It’s cute and fun ### 4/5 — Carino ma.. *2021-01-19, version 1.25.0* Gioco abbastanza carino e senza troppa pubblicità dove, però, le unità di misura (migliaia, milioni, miliardi) sono indicate tutte con “m” e non sono assolutamente chiare. Spero risolvano ### 2/5 — Event starter *2020-12-17, version 1.25.0* This game has been fun for me for so long, but could you explain why the 1st post in the turtle event started at 39.1m?!? That’s craziness. There’s no way I’m gonna sit and tap this screen 39.1 MILLION times just to start the event! I’m sure it’s a glitch, and needs to be addressed because now I can’t even participate in the event. ### 4/5 — Tela iphone X *2020-07-22* O jogo e ótimo mas não está adequadamente adaptado a tela do iphone X ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2020-04-11, version 1.25.0* Es muy divertido en especial si te gustan los juegos que son de esperar, el juego es muy relajante y es interesante y divertido, espero que lo actualicen ### 5/5 — Bem legal *2020-03-05* É um jogo que me atraí e é incrível 😉 ### 5/5 — Legal *2020-03-05* Achei legal mais como tira o bonequinho para navegar? ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-02-12, version 1.25.0* Great game ### 5/5 — เจ๋ง *2019-11-11, version 1.25.0* เล่นใด้เพลินๆ ### 3/5 — Игра *2019-10-29, version 1.25.0* Все хорошо,но не могу открыть рекламу посмотреть ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pass *2026-05-05, version 1.25.0* Won’t even load up after downloading ### 1/5 — Stupid *2025-08-10, version 1.25.0* I’ve tried four buffet times to play this game and every single time I try and watch the add it crashes my game after the ad of corse and then crashes every single time I try and get back in the game worse game ever ### 1/5 — Does not work all the time. *2022-02-14, version 1.25.0* Bonuses does not work all the time. You click on the button and it does nothing. ### 1/5 — Dead *2021-10-18, version 1.25.0* It appears the devs abandoned the game. No more events being held in game, I will admit once a week was excessive, but once a month or every couple weeks should have been the route taken. ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2020-11-29, version 1.25.0* Su iPhone 11 Pro,la schermata del gioco è fuori schermo,non si riesce a capire dove cliccare. Mah... ### 1/5 — Dale al dedo rapidoooooooooo!!!!! *2020-08-03, version 1.25.0* El juego es de lo más tonto. Consiste en subir el nivel de unos edificios predeterminados. Necesitas unas monedas que consigues pulsando sobre los edificios o pagando. Qué sentido tiene. Pues ninguno. Todo se basa en pulsar sobre los edificios para obtener moneditas. Mientras más nivel tenga el edificio más monedas necesitarás y más tendrás que pulsar. No hay más sentido que el subir de nivel los edificios. No hay guerras, no hay modificación de la isla ni diseño de edificios, nada de nada. ### 1/5 — Same ad over and over *2019-10-31, version 1.25.0* The game itself is just meh! A good old time waster that’s all. I was even comfortable with watching ads to get the time boosts for the events and get double income when logging in. But for two days I’ve been getting the same ad over and over again, not a short ad either. For a time waster game I’ll find something else, deleted. ### 1/5 — Crash *2019-07-31, version 1.25.0* Game keeps crashing in first five minutes,I have restarted the game 7 times! Fix this please ### 1/5 — Sail Away Doesn’t Work *2019-03-09, version 1.25.0* I’ve tried to sail away 3 times now and I am never credited for the doubloons, it says that I still only have 8 even though I should have a couple thousand by now. Makes the game kind of pointless because I can’t advance any further. ### 1/5 — Please update *2019-02-18, version 1.25.0* Can’t reset and can’t gain doubloons or ascension stones. Please upgrade to remedy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it *2025-06-09, version 1.25.0* Because it very cute and fun ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-05-05, version 1.25.0* Extreme Fun to Play ### 5/5 — Castaway Characters similar to Pocket Potions *2023-01-02, version 1.25.0* When I first played Castaway Cove, the characters looked similar to a beloved game I play more than 10 years ago that was Titled POCKET POTIONS by the BREAKTIME STUDIOS. I also played their Dream Dresses and Sweet Shop games, also very good, game play was one of a kind. My biggest regret up until this day was that I deleted all 3 games to make room on my IPAD. Some time passed and I decided to download the 3 games but were unable to locate them in the Apple App Store. But found that the company went out of business. I know that the hundreds of thousands of players like I have wished to play Pocket Potions, Sweet Shop plus Dream Dresses since then. I have never found any other games quite like the 3. If anyone can contact those who created those fantastically fun and memorable games, please tell them we want those games back, please…make our dreams come true, I would pay to play them again. They were the magic in my childhood. ### 5/5 — Как открыть сундук? *2022-04-21* После каждого отплытия у меня мелькает сундук, но открыть его не получается. Для чего он там? И вообще было бы хорошо, если б вы там пояснительные заметки делали ### 5/5 — Thanks kongregate games *2021-07-07, version 1.25.0* This is fántastique ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2020-10-12* Amei esse jogo 🤩 ### 5/5 — So good *2020-07-29, version 1.25.0* I l o v e this game because you can get different levels and characters that’s my favourite thing about this game or app I played it and it was O M G if you get on different levels you will love it 😻😻🤠 ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-07-01, version 1.25.0* Very fun ### 5/5 — Bortoz *2020-06-21, version 1.25.0* Chill !!!! ### 5/5 — Decent idle game *2020-05-11, version 1.25.0* Having fun in early stage not forced to pay to progress early on --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
