The app says you can report them but that is not true. There is no way to report someone on the app so the cheating will continue. I wish I could keep playing this game but until they take the cheating seriously and allow us to report when it happens, then I won’t play it anymore. Sad. BTW. This is one of the cheaters/hackers. #28YVCR8P We’ll see if Supercell actually cares. Probably not. ### 1/5 — Lags-pauses / suspicious *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* 3 games that it lags on me right when I’m about to win and the signal returns when tower is gone which causes me to lose ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game is so addictive and was so fun at first but it got so toxic I felt like ripping my eyes out at the pay 2 win. I would say it’s the most toxic community I’ve ever seen and I won’t be coming back ### 1/5 — Pay to Win *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* The game is fun until you reach a certain arena, where you start consistently facing players with max-level cards and significantly higher-level King and Princess Towers. At that point, progressing becomes extremely difficult unless you spend money. The progression system feels deliberately designed to create frustration and make players feel that purchasing the Clash Pass is the best way to improve their chances. It’s less about skill and strategy and more about who has invested more money into the game. In that sense, the monetization feels like a carefully engineered pay-to-win system rather than a fair competitive experience. ### 1/5 — New updates getting worse and worse *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Forreal Supercell? 20 years to fully max my account? I have been playing this game for 10 years and these cash-grabbing, money-hungry updates are just too much. I can’t believe they’re treating level 16 like it’s a treat for the players. NOBODY WANTED LVL 16!! And this match making is GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LOSE once you start winning. They will just match you up against your deck’s worst matchup literally over and over again to keep you from winning ### 1/5 — Game of Fraud *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game has been ruined and will never recover. Levels of characters have zero meaning to power and become pointless causing advantages over skills ### 1/5 — It’s trash *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Early gameplay is fun but as you reach 6k trophies and above the algorithm that’s in place for matchmaking matches you with hard counter deck forcing you to lose and keep you in a 49% win rate. I’m currently in 14k trophies and the game is unplayable. Forget about ranked in league 3 and it’s all hard counters. ### 1/5 — Balance the game *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* In the new modes, the same chaos situation, they give the opponent, or me against the opponent, things stronger than what you face, and you lose a thousand times. There is absolutely no balance, as if they only intend to make you lose, even though I am an old player and I know the game well and my trophies are 14000 ### 1/5 — Terrible game pay 2 win *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* No skills required to play this game just money ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* The more you pay, the easier it is. Free to play players, don’t waste your time here. You MUST pay to have any chance to beat players that even just buy battle pass. ### 1/5 — Money Starvation *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Played on and off for 10 years since the game came out. It’s never been in a worse situation. The only reasonable way to get cards is to send actual money. Let alone higher up cards good luck! 10/10 do not recommend. ### 1/5 — This is not a game 🤢🤮 *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This is not a game, you just buy the overpowered new hero for 40 pounds and get some wins, then they start playing you against people that spent hundreds and you lose constantly because Supercell is trying to spend more. And that 4.6 rating is fake - just look how many 1 star ratings for the last 2-3 years - no way this didn’t drop a single decimal point 🤮 ### 1/5 — Chaos mode is rigged *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* How come when i play chaos mode i get the worst modifiers and the worst cards while the opponent gets the best cards and best modifiers ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Bad game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No proper way to communicate *2026-08-22, version 15.535.29* In clash royal a player is inactive for more than a month i am a co leader i tried kicking him but unable to kick from clan it says the account is deleted or unavailable Clan tag. #G8YR8CV9 Player name which needs to be removed is Dragon king Please remove that player from the clan as we do not have no option to kick him I also have screenshots if you guys need that ### 1/5 — They Rigged It on my birthday *2026-08-22, version 15.535.29* They made me lose like 10 times and i only won once on my birthday no less! im unimpressed in what happened today!😭👽😱 ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-22, version 15.535.29* I have never seen a more greedy company who can’t do math and decides to make extra levels to make money, which actually ends up losing them money bc they have less players. Don’t play ur deck will get power crept ### 1/5 — awful *2026-08-22, version 15.535.29* This game will literally melt your brain the pay to win is so ungodly now that it is impossible to climb with out spending your money ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-21, version 15.535.29* Game is so rigged and has fallen off hard. Even Chaos Mode has become rigged… your opponent will get all the best card and modifiers while you get trash. The game is terrible now and not even fun to play anymore. It’s normal to lose sometimes, but they set it up so that you have a way bigger losing ratio by matching you against decks you have no defenses against. Pay to win ### 1/5 — fall off *2026-08-21, version 15.535.29* was peak a year ago but too pay to win. and the game devs only care about money and cash grabs. so no skill game. and hero’s ruined it ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this game *2026-08-21, version 15.535.29* Awful game. Rigged matchmaking makes it take forever to progress. They just want you to spend money. ### 1/5 — Consider this a warning *2026-08-21, version 15.535.29* This is not a playable game, it will ruin your mental health and life, please don't play this game. As a player in royal champions league (top 0.5% of overall player base), and played this game for 10 years, in my experience, deleting the game might be the best choice for you. Because everyone just wins the game using money instead of skills. ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* very inappropriate. I don’t need to explain… ### 1/5 — Just get rid of levels *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* this game is trash. Lvls ruin the creativity of the game, such a waste considering it’s the best mobile game format ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — About clash balright *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Good game but 2025 phase was much better without heros and with jynxy rylei bobby and more ### 5/5 — I hate this game with a passion *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game makes my insides boil ### 5/5 — Wow just wow. *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game is something else ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game killed my son ### 5/5 — Clash royale *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Best game I’ve played in a while and I can’t get over it super fun for all ages ### 5/5 — Raw Garden Pond *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* ¿? ¡! Lion Eyes@read ### 5/5 — !!”! *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* Wow ### 5/5 — Good game have been playing for 5 years *2026-08-20, version 15.535.29* This game is a really fun strategy game,since theirs tons of different troops and deck you can craft or look up. Out of the five years I’ve been playing the only problem has been the ptw but it is fun when you outsmart and beat them but it can be a bit annoying. Overall the game is a great concept and I’m only ten so I’ve been playing since I was five and have about 7250 trophies so if you want a fun strategy game download clash royale and ignore all the comments about the ptw as a ftp player I’ve been fine ### 5/5 — Loved game *2026-08-19, version 15.535.29* So fun and easy. I love it ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-19, version 15.535.29* Best game really good for boredom but you can’t get bored of…THIS!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
