Now you have to keep tapping to cycle through. 1, 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1mil, max. ### 3/5 — I’m Overseers not working *2025-12-29, version 5.8.8* Overseers are hit and miss. Lately they have not been working well at all. ### 2/5 — Fun game when it works *2025-12-21* But most of the time it’s glitching and so laggy and then crashes even on brand new iPhones and iPad. Airplane mode mostly fixes it but disables other game features. ### 1/5 — Almost fun, ruined by ads *2025-12-11, version 5.8.7* It’s a fun idea for a game but the ads you watch while playing are awful and make your phone overheat. It is not uncommon for my phone to stop charging because it has made my phone so hot. It will also drain your battery so fast. You don’t have to watch the ads, but the game already progresses at an incredibly slow pace and without the ad rewards there is almost no progress at all. The ads they show are sometimes several minutes long for what is often a very minor reward. ### 1/5 — My ISP tells me this app isn’t safe to use *2025-12-06, version 5.8.7* While playing this game I get 3 notifications per minute that my ISP has blocked harmful intrusions.. don’t think I’m gonna touch this game ever again ### 1/5 — Spyware? *2025-11-24, version 5.8.7* Played this game for one day, and it downloaded over 10GB without my knowledge. Game was fun, but I am concerned for the data that an offline game used in just one day ### 1/5 — Will not connect with WIFI *2025-11-22, version 5.8.7* 5 stars if you can fix this. Game ate through my data. 50 gigs in 2 days. ### 2/5 — Optimize! *2025-11-18, version 5.8.7* I really like the concept but the optimization is wild. Constant lag from the moment you open the app. Please fix fast ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2025-11-16, version 5.8.6* The main problem is that it freezes every other frame and I couldn’t even get far into the tutorial because it’s unbearable, I would rate lower if I could ### 1/5 — Buggy as can be *2025-11-13, version 5.8.6* Would be a great game if it didn’t start freezing and bugging out within 10 seconds of playing it. Hopefully gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Lag for Americans *2025-11-07* The game will not work properly on our servers. You’ll experience great lag on a high end device and get told it’s your phones fault and not their end. Great game good concept bet it works well on devices not here though. One star. ### 1/5 — Needs lots of work *2025-11-05, version 5.8.5* Enjoyable game. But lag was insane. I have a relatively new phone and the game was almost unplayable. I loved the concept, but have uninstalled it until these issues get fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lag *2026-04-22, version 5.9.3* Insane lag ### 1/5 — 怎么改中文 *2026-04-03, version 5.9.3* 不是说有中文么 怎么改呀 ### 1/5 — Predatory ads *2026-03-14, version 5.9.0* Even with the no add pack purchased, the game regularly force opens safari to websites that are phishing attempts. This prevents letting the game idle which is the main gameplay process. Feedback left on discord has no resulted in this being fixed. I really enjoy the rest of the game and have no real lag or performance issues, but until the main gameplay loop doesn’t result in constant phishing attempts the game is functionally unplayable on iPhone. ### 1/5 — Endless popups *2026-01-23, version 5.8.8* I think the game has been hacked, i get non stop popups. game is unplayable ### 1/5 — Malware carrier *2025-12-29, version 5.8.8* Every time I open this game it opens fake web addresses telling me my phone has a virus. Clearly this game Carrie’s malware with it - RUN AWY AS GAST AS YOU CAN! I am reporting it to Apple. ### 1/5 — Laggy *2025-12-24, version 5.8.8* It’s a great game, I very much enjoy it. However it’s unplayable. The lag will drive you crazy. Will change to 5 star when it runs smooth ### 1/5 — Unplayably slow and laggy *2025-12-23, version 5.8.8* The game starts getting laggy the first time you switch from dungeon to town, and gets worse and worse with each switch (which you’ll be doing every few seconds, at least early on), until very soon the buttons are taking 20 seconds to respond and you’re killing the app. Quitting and relaunching, it again took under a minute until the town animations were getting stuck and the buttons weren’t responding. This is on an iPhone 16 Pro. (PS, who is making games in Adobe AIR five years after Adobe abandoned it?) ### 1/5 — So much lag *2025-12-17, version 5.8.8* The game stutters and lags nonstop how did you guys screw up like that ### 1/5 — Forgot to make it fun *2025-12-14, version 5.8.7* This game has about 4 hours worth of playtime before you hit the paywall. Pay to win ### 1/5 — Game is alright but… *2025-12-12, version 5.8.7* But why on earth does it run so bad? My phone can handle genshin just fine and yet the pixel art idle game gets laggy and makes my phone’s temperature rise hot enough to burn me?? Genuinely, there are no calculations that this game should be doing that warrants my phone running this hot, especially considering that this is the early game and the numbers aren’t even getting out of hand yet. Something’s wrong here. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Malware! Players beware! *2026-01-15, version 5.8.8* Often while playing this app will close and open an internet tab taking me to unwanted websites, most often malware sites. This game is a 0/5 star game with the malware issues. ### 5/5 — Lwk no problems so far *2025-12-05, version 5.8.7* I give this 5 stars because I had no problems with this game and it’s fun, I can go back to it almost every hour, and it’s just really fun… I feel like theses comments are gate keeping but it’s fine ### 5/5 — great *2025-11-22, version 5.8.7* fun great ### 4/5 — Fire game ruined by the optimization *2025-12-22, version 5.8.8* It actually looks like a rll fun little game but i cant even click on things cuz of how laggy it is. Other people seem to have that problem too so i guess i’ll just wait for an update that fixes it🙏 ### 4/5 — Lag improved on iOS *2025-12-11, version 5.8.7* This is a very well thought out game and progresses nicely. I had to stop playing as I just could not put time in it to progress. Dedicated players may enjoy this and the ads are very light. ### 4/5 — Only one complaint *2025-12-03, version 5.8.7* Game is great, works well on my iphone 14. Sometimes the overseer system needs help getting started after returning from being offline, but that might be due to not having the overseer actions achievement. Not sure why other people complain about the game being unplayable. Either their phone storages are way overfilled or the game has been fixed. Would recommend. ### 4/5 — Lag *2025-11-10, version 5.8.5* Please fix the lag the game will be better ### 4/5 — Could be really good *2025-11-05, version 5.8.5* I really like the concept of this game, unfortunately it is so poorly optimized that it is unplayable. It stutters and freezez constantly and my phone gets hot and it is hard to even close the game. I really hope it gets fixed because I want to play! It seems like the dev is trying to fix it so I am giving it 4 stars. Please fix it asap. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Bit glitchy *2025-10-31, version 5.8.4* Love the game and the graphics but the game is a bit glitchy everytime I play it, hope it gets fixed ### 3/5 — Over heating *2026-01-07, version 5.8.8* I like the game but gonna have to stop playing on my ios16 my phone getting so hot that I can't touch it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
