It won’t mine anymore … 4 or even 5-Star potential if it was fixed! 2-Stars for now … ### 3/5 — Missing details *2022-06-08, version 1.1* Previous reviewer was spot on! The app seems to work but gives no details on pay out or percentages. Seems as if you stop and restart the mining you loose your previous progress. Would be a 5 star app with a little work. ### 1/5 — Fake *2021-11-24, version 1.1* To the developers of this app. How low can you be, fake people, live fake lives & are loners, no families. Crypto mining 😭….get a real job. Or remove this fake app. Peoples like you ruin lives. Make this earth a nasty place. Go to mars. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t work *2021-11-08, version 1.1* I didn’t understand the app. How do I mine? It wouldn’t work ### 1/5 — Scam Mining for Somebody *2021-11-04, version 1.1* I have ran this app for a month on a cell phone I do not use, periodically on another high end phone and tablet. Despite being in the Monero pool, because it’s the best, I have seen 0 payout. There is no way to check amounts pending, and no way to confirm if you reach the payout threshold. Seems like it’s mining for someone, just doesn’t seem to be the actual user. I call Scam as I have no other choice at this point. ### 1/5 — Coins keep disappearing *2021-11-04, version 1.1* Loaded this app becuase it SEEMED credible. Every time I mine then push stop. Nothing happens and the coins disappear. Really disappointed with this product. Also noticed when I linked it to my other monero wallet, it kept pushing a diff address in there. I'm assuming this is a fake app..... 🤦‍♂️😢 ### 1/5 — This app isn’t working at all. *2021-10-24, version 1.1* About a week I was testing the mining and I entered my wallet address and the app appeared to be working. Today I went to mine and got a strange message saying that if I continue there might be malware and other problems that might arise. It was not apple or iOS warning me. The warning was from the app between the ad page and the start mining page. It’s not working whether I agree to risk it or not. At this point the app is 100% worthless. Even when it was working the best I could do was a lightning fast 21 H/s. If you mine crypto you know it’s a waste of time unless I use 1000 phones. For the new miners and lay-people, using your phone to mine crypto is quite ineffective, underwhelming and ultimately not worth it. I know the developer can’t do much about what the CPU Hashrate can output safely so when Jt was working 21 was about all I could average. If you wanted to hobby mine, kill time or something of that nature, you can’t even do that anymore. I’m not sure if this problem is just me so feedback from all parties that read this would be great. Have a good day! KG ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-10-20, version 1.1* Useless garbage, no work but steals info off your phone ### 1/5 — Been mining for months and nothing! *2021-10-17, version 1.1* Have made 1000s of accepted shares and 100000 hashes. Not a single thing goes into my wallets. Thing seems to be a scam or something similar. Dev is probably scalping all them xmr numbers. ### 1/5 — Stay Away *2021-10-13, version 1.1* It doesnt work, just a waste of time. ### 2/5 — Not worth while *2021-09-22, version 1.1* Got it to work though only 4-5 hash’s you’d make like 10 cents a year ### 1/5 — Crypto mining app *2021-08-24, version 1.1* Load of rubbish freezes all the while no good for nothing, sometimes won’t even let you click the coin you want to mine I wouldn’t even give this a 1 star rating but couldn’t put any lower :( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work? *2021-07-22, version 1.1* I’ve had the app open and running for a good hour now. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything, evidenced by my battery not dropping as would be expected if my device were running a lot of computations repeatedly. A bit bummed it doesn’t do anything at all, I was hoping to add some excitement to my day with some pennies. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2021-07-21, version 1.1* Load it up on iPhone 12, and it shows an ad at the start, then an ad at the bottom banner. Nothing else at all. Just the two advertisements. Seems like a fake app to just get people to view ads. ### 1/5 — Super shady *2021-07-21, version 1.1* This does not work even if it did mining on a iPhone or iPad is stupid I tried connecting to a pool and the pool never showed the apps shares also it keeps copying my clipboard every time I use the app the only reason I downloaded this app was cause someone online was wondering if it was legit ### 1/5 — SCAM - CHANGES WALLET ADDRESS *2021-05-29, version 1.1* When you paste your wallet address into the app, it QUICKLY changes it to a different address. YOU’RE MINING FOR SOMEONE ELSE. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻 *2025-12-31, version 1.1* Enter my card information “in case” i want to pay? Yeah, you’re not fooling this one ### 1/5 — They are not paying out *2024-10-23, version 1.1* I was mining and I had a lot excepted shares but they never send any to my wallet this is a joke and they lie they own me money and I want to get paid out I want this site shut down ### 1/5 — Very Slow *2024-10-05, version 1.1* Very slow and no information about donate level etc ### 1/5 — malware dont install *2024-03-14, version 1.1* ive had issuse with malware, come to find out my at&t security app now blocks this app from opening say becouse it stops a malware page from installing malware..this app store reslly is starting to nit be safe anymore so lets get this right apple we cant get all the open source apps we want that could protect us and your clams of safe apps just are false now. so many 0days comeing out and whats stoping threat actors from buying a dev license and building app and hiding code. dont think you guys are reading all thier code take this out the store!! this is turning into legal matters . ### 1/5 — trash *2022-12-12, version 1.1* updated version? ### 1/5 — No idea *2022-05-07, version 1.1* You put in a wallet address but it gives you no indication of doing anything ### 1/5 — ?? *2022-04-03, version 1.1* So I just downloaded this app it opened up it let me start mining I then went to sign up for a Wallet and now I can’t get back to the mining.it’s only my wallet now.how do you get back to mining ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-02-01, version 1.1* Scam. Don’t be an idiot and use it. Delete immediately ### 1/5 — Can’t even tell if it’s working. *2022-01-27, version 1.1* I’ve left it running for multiple days yet my balance is still at 0.0000000000. If this is normal then you should express this. It currently just seems like it doesn’t work or you’re mining it for yourself. ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-01-01, version 1.1* This app clearly isn’t mining for the user it’s mining for the owner of the app I would bet dollars to donuts cuz I have seen zero return in months ZERO!!!!!!!!!! Scam ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works like a charm *2023-11-26, version 1.1* Have been able to use it to mine in various pools, slowly but surely. Cool!! ### 5/5 — fix it *2022-05-02, version 1.1* this would be good if the app actually worked ### 5/5 — Desktop Version *2021-02-27, version 1.1* A desktop application for Windows 10 would be appreciated. Thank you. No complaints otherwise. ### 5/5 — I like it *2020-12-17, version 1.1* It’s simple and straightforward. Just paste your wallet, and sign up with one of the pools. I disabled some background stuff to nearly double my hash rate, which admittedly isn’t too impressive on an iPhone, but it sure is one way to make “Do Not Disturb” a little more relaxing 😊 ### 5/5 — Withdraw *2020-09-22, version 1.1* How can iwithdraw in this app ? Send it to wallet directly ? Or not ### 5/5 — DOES IT WORK???? *2019-11-29, version 1.1* Tell me if it works ### 5/5 — Works *2019-05-06, version 1.1* Works as advertised we need this for android please great work thanks. ### 5/5 — Wallet Monitoring *2018-01-27, version 1.1* Why there is no worker monitoring or wallet status ? It’s pretty perfect platform I love it😍 ### 4/5 — Not bad *2025-05-03, version 1.1* App GUI & ad placement would be the only downside to this imo. Needing to re launch app to get around adds sometimes but apart from that XMR miner works fine. I selected the first option to mine via MoneroOcean pool and after a few mins my miner showed up when I went to their website on pc. Payout for that platform is 0.003 XMR (~80¢) min. The total earned/payed appears on the MoneroOcean dashboard, not within the app, so the bad reviews didn’t do their due diligence before writing. ### 4/5 — Fun but not very profitable *2021-06-14, version 1.1* It actually DOES mine a few cryptos, however, it’s fractions of pennies. So it’s super fun to mess around with. Currently I am collecting Turtlecoin! But you pretty much lose a little after factoring the small amount of electricity used. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
