Unlikely to be patched as I was ignored when I messaged the developer to give them a heads up. ### 3/5 — Coal Mining Inc *2023-06-02, version 1.8* Like playing the game except for the fact that it keeps freezing up. You guys need to do a bug fix again. ### 4/5 — Fun but frustrating *2023-02-26, version 1.8* I collected enough stars(4) in level 1 to get to level 2 then got all 5 and then the same in level 3. However I am not able to go back and get the fifth star in level 1. So I’ll never get to level 4. I paid for no ads and it looks like I will uninstall the game for lack of being able to advance. I have spent a lot of time on this game only to be very unhappy with it at this point. Also since I’m stuck at level 1 I know have 300 million dollars with nothing to spend it on and cannot take it to another level. ### 1/5 — Ads Mining game *2023-02-18, version 1.8* This is ruin with full ads ### 3/5 — Deleted progress *2023-02-08, version 1.8* When I joined the game my progress reseted and all of my buildings restart from level 1 ### 1/5 — Не советую к сачиванию *2023-01-30, version 1.8* Игра полностью сделана для отмывания денег. Никто не фиксит баги и не смотрит за игрой. Доходишь до 2 и 3 локации, закрываешь максимум на 4 звезды и всё, дальше просто смотришь на игру, а делать там больше не чего ### 2/5 — Not bad until *2023-01-22, version 1.8* Twice I’ve gotten a good way into it and then it freezes so I can’t progress any further , delete , reinstall and it’s all good until it happens again ### 3/5 — Game *2023-01-06, version 1.8* Shop isn’t unlocked is there a reason for that ### 3/5 — Fun game *2022-12-21, version 1.8* I love the idle mining games but I can’t buy or enter the shop it won’t let me ### 4/5 — Good *2022-11-25, version 1.8* It’s good but could do better 11 months since last update ? Come on we finished all levels I can work around the freezes but I paid for some maps please update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — There a ad on screen at all times at the bottom 🙅🏻 *2024-10-17, version 1.8* It’s an annoying with it down there. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-03-30, version 1.8* Do not purchase and extras with money. They take your money but the effects do not load and take affect. This is theft. ### 1/5 — Fun but so annoying😡 *2024-03-04, version 1.8* I love the game but I got to the last level on the first world and it said I had one more percent to do but I checked everything and nothing needed to be done so if you fix this then I will redownload the game. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2023-11-23, version 1.8* Reported a glitch that wen I go to open a chest the game glitches meaning after spending money on the game I can no longer progress RIP OFF ### 1/5 — Tracks you *2023-10-26, version 1.8* This app tracks you, you can see it when you go to setting > privacy & security > app privacy > scroll down to most contacted > show all and click on any of them ### 1/5 — How am I supposed to get a manager *2023-10-23, version 1.8* I tried to hire a manager but I couldn’t ! And when I googled it said that I can get it from the shop I don’t have a “shop” to begin with how am I supposed to open the chest and get a manger ? ### 1/5 — You lose access to purchased item *2023-09-29, version 1.8* If you redownload the game you lose all access to purchases items and they can’t be restored with the restore purchase button. Apple also refuses to refund me so I got scammed by this game ### 1/5 — Game stops working *2023-05-21, version 1.8* Game freezes in play not very good ### 1/5 — Can’t get managers *2023-05-12, version 1.8* Task says to get a manager/upgrade. I’ve been upgrading all my items and I still can’t unlock a manager, so I can’t progress any further in the game. There are no managers to upgrade! Ie my office is level 3 - what level do they need to be to unlock? Very frustrating. Game basically dead now. ### 1/5 — No ad doesn’t work *2023-03-07, version 1.8* I purchased the No ads for mining inc and it doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game for ralaxing *2024-12-21, version 1.8* I love playing this game but I did delete it but downloaded it back because it was too active to play ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-10-09, version 1.8* The best game ever ### 5/5 — Extraordinary mining game! *2023-08-10* A lot of fun coal games out there and this one is up there with the top 10 in my book I say! You upgrade every inch of your factory and sell coal all over the world, course with imagination I bet that's where they take the coal lol. Oh but this game is wonderful and enjoyable to play! ### 5/5 — Yay! *2023-07-24, version 1.8* I like messing around with little time wasting games like these but you should fix any problems by allowing free travel between worlds or the ability to completely restart the game to get all stars to move on other than that the game is fun sparing with the adds and all around fun, I appreciate the work the developers put into this. Thanks for reading my review!; ) ### 5/5 — Figured out the manager problem *2023-06-16, version 1.8* Just restart the app if the manager button disappears. Great game. Buy away ads. Stop being cheap!!! ### 5/5 — Super *2023-04-05, version 1.8* Bardzo fajna, wciąga , szybki rozwój ### 5/5 — Shop is missing *2023-02-18, version 1.8* I can’t find the shop it’s not on the screen what do I do? ### 5/5 — Not bad for 5 stars *2023-01-04, version 1.8* When I first played this game I thought it was lame. Then I tried it again now I just can’t stop playing it every time. My YouTube goes off I just play it for almost until 12 and then just play other games but still great job. I love it. Keep doing the good work.👍🏻❤️❤️💙💜🖤😀😃 ### 5/5 — Ur mom *2022-11-07, version 1.8* Good soup ### 5/5 — Chest bug and time to get this app an make over!
