Multiplayer is amazing! Competent dev who cares about the community’s interests. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Diamonds… *2026-08-15, version 2.7* This game is… awesome… 👁️ ### 5/5 — Top tier economy game! *2026-08-15, version 2.7* A unique concept paired with an immersive multiplayer experience that leads to amazing emergent gameplay with an awesome community. The game is truly a hidden gem with a bright future. If you like economics, capitalism and “number go up feel good”, you’ll love this game. Grounded in realism but balanced for fun. Takes awhile to learn but rewards you for doing so. Im excited to see the new additions! ### 5/5 — Amazing choice *2026-08-15, version 2.7* Honestly I can’t say a lot but what I can say is the game has a really good community that is always open to helping new comers find their way around plus the developer himself is hands on with the community. I would recommend this game any day and anytime….PS I can’t wait for the next update 😇 ### 5/5 — A MUST DOWNLOAD *2026-08-15, version 2.7* Downloaded this game and haven’t stopped playing yet 😂 ### 5/5 — Diamond in the haystack *2026-08-04, version 2.6.5* It’s fun and entertaining there’s no ads no paywalls not pay to win yea it can be a bit difficult to learn all the strategies but once you find something that works for you it’s a no brainer very unique game ### 5/5 — This Game is underrated *2026-08-01, version 2.6.5* Great game 13/10 ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME SO FUN *2026-07-26, version 2.6.3* I LOVE YOU GAME DEVS ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-23, version 2.6.2* I love this game so many fun features, I do hope they maybe add more stuff like silver/gold or maybe faster processing times. But overall this game is great. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2026-06-18, version 2.6* Best game I’ve played in years, absolutely love, love, love this game! The owner is super dedicated which makes this game twice as better!!! Constant updates for the best quality imaginable! Highly recommended!!! ### 5/5 — D47 *2026-06-10, version 2.05* Easily the best game I’ve played so. ### 5/5 — Fun, no ads, what’s not to love? *2026-05-26, version 2.04* I know nothing about gems, but I love business, and I love business games. This one is so fun. It’s easy, but not easy enough for it to be a one and done game. There are challenging aspects to it but it keeps it fairly light. But perhaps the all around best part of this game is that there are NO ADS. I seriously have not come across a game without any ads whatsoever in such a long time and it’s massively refreshing. I keep waiting for one to pop up, but nothing does. I’ve done my part and supported the game with one of the paid features, but I definitely didn’t need to in order to have fun. I just thought it would be a good thing to do. Invest in what you want to see, people! I don’t want ads in games. If I gotta spend a couple bucks to ensure this game never throws an ad at me, I am more than willing. It’s the least I could do. ### 5/5 — Absolute Gem! *2026-05-08, version 2.04* I’ve been having a blast playing this! Started with solo mode and enjoyed that for a while until I felt confident enough for online mode. Both have a lot of similarities and differences. Great to switch back and forth between the two. If you play online ask around for help if you get stuck! Really appreciate all the love that was put into this. It’s a gem! 💎 ### 5/5 — Muzo Mist FTW *2026-05-01, version 2.04* A truly Unique game of all time. Do you like tycoons? Do you like simulations? Do you like economies? Do you like trading? There’s all of that and much more. A surprisingly deep economy run completely by the players. If you play this game and sell or buy literally anything you have affected this game permanently in some way shape or form. Incredible. ### 5/5 — Best mobile game *2026-04-29, version 2.04* It’s very rare that i go out of my way to rate a mobile game. But this one just needs one. Everything about this game is unique and i haven’t seen anything like it before. It’s a game that is somehow ran by the players in the game, which is amazing. Everything about this game makes me feel like i have my own little country in my phone and i play a factor in its economy. I really wish more and more people found out about this game. The community is small but amazing, and more people would benefit everyone who plays. I started playing this game less than a month ago and i can say for certain that this is the best concept for a game that can go so far, yet already seems perfect. The possibilities are endless and i hope to see this game thriving in the future. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2026-04-27, version 2.04* This game was fun when I set out on my solo journey, then I decided to go online and it has opened and entire new game. There are definitely politics that have already formed within finance management companies, but that makes it have a more realistic feelings of being in an every changing market. I really hope the devs are in the chat channel so they can see where players are voicing great implements that would add huge value to gameplay. ### 5/5 — Great game but having technical issue *2026-04-25, version 2.04* I have a very bad phone (old iPhone SE) so no blame toward you but every time I open the handbook my game freezes and I have to restart. It only happens once I try to tap on an article of the handbook, so I can open the handbook and scroll up and down through the options but once I tap something there other than exit the screen gets stuck exactly where I’m at and even the exit button doesn’t do anything, gotta close the app. Not sure if that’s something you can fix or if my phone just sucks lol. Otherwise super super cool game!! ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2026-04-15, version 2.04* I feel that the game is missing missions or custom contracts I’m stilling learning the game so maybe I haven’t hit that far ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake Reviews *2026-05-13, version 2.04* Game is horrible. No real tutorial, impossible missions, real-time refresh on missions… makes zero sense and doesnt explain mechanics. HUGE TIME WASTER ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-04-17, version 2.04* You have to pay to use the most basic features and the reviews are definitely fake ### 1/5 — 0/5 *2025-10-19, version 1.2.19* I only gave it one star because I can’t give zero stars. ### 1/5 — Unique and Beautifully Designed *2025-10-16* UPDATE: Played for about 5 hours. This game is immersive and looks beautiful. Although the actual game play is painful. Inventory space is very restricted. GemEX RNG is impossible given the volume you can hold. Navigation between apps is fatiguing. Too many activities are gated by realtime. Can’t even play features like Stocks outside of business hours (who thought of that one..) Reputation is too hard to obtain and you get penalized for no obvious reason when completing some gem exchange contracts. Upgrades gated by reputation and no money sink. You basically get free money with nothing to do but wait FOREVER, tap about 1000 times to maybe get 1 of 6 Required painfully rare gems to exchange and MAYBE get a smidge of reputation **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the detailed feedback. I really appreciate you spending time with the game. I want to address each of your points.. So, upgrading your Winston Reserve account increases storage capacity. Stocks follow NYSE hours for realism. Reputation changes in the context you described depend on the fairness of your offers during negotiations. Navigation feedback noted. I'll work on making it smoother in future updates. If you'd like some help getting started, the Discord community has plenty of players who share tips and strategies. You can join from the Settings app within the game. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Obsidian *2025-10-06, version 1.2.19* Raise the withdrawal limit for elix on on obsidian ### 1/5 — Good.. until now *2025-09-25, version 1.2.18* Really missed the mark with that last update i liked the simplicity and fun now everything feels like a chore ### 1/5 — i thought it was good *2025-09-19, version 1.2.17* i played for coulle months but no updates has been made i feel like this could be a great game but needs more time and effort put it ### 1/5 — Optimize for 13 mini *2025-07-02, version 1.2.12* Can’t use the whole app because the screen size blocks off functionality ### 1/5 — Pretty sure made by AI *2025-06-15, version 1.2.9* Pretty sure this game is made by AI. Some pretty broken mechanics like getting the first voicemail over and over after everything you do if you delete it. The game is rated high initially due to fake reviews, just read them and you will see they are fake… ### 2/5 — Nope *2025-10-03, version 1.2.19* The community is 👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-31, version 2.7.1* I absolutely love this game but when is there more content coming for the offline Solo empire? Multiplayer is fun but sometimes it can get overwhelming ### 5/5 — Get it now. *2026-08-27, version 2.7.1* Awesome fun game to pass time. If your into diamonds and gems this is the one for sure. ### 5/5 — In awe *2026-08-24, version 2.7.1* If this game got taken off the App Store. I’d give my first born son to have it back. 24 male no banana for scale ### 5/5 — The best economy simulation *2026-08-23, version 2.7.1* This game is an excellent sandbox for the analytical and ambitious. Take the opportunity to try this out if you’ve ever enjoyed a eco building game in the past. Developer in the game, small niche community growing. Patch’s and updates every two weeks. No ads or pay to win by design. Best game in the AppStore. If you’re wired this way. ### 5/5 — Best game out there tbh *2026-08-22, version 2.7.1* Nothing to critique about this game, it is very complete. Just needs more a player base to thrive. Devs are constantly updating the game, just needs to market the game better i guess. ### 5/5 — Honestly *2026-08-18, version 2.7* My new fav. game! ### 5/5 — One of the best games on iOS *2026-08-16, version 2.7* If I could give Diamond District 10 stars, I would. I downloaded it expecting a simple game about buying and selling rare gems and found one of the deepest player driven economic simulations I’ve played on iOS. The economy basically is the game. Gem trading, stocks, player created currencies, loans, jewelry and art, storefronts, news and markets that are constantly influenced by other players. What makes it so addictive is how interconnected everything is and how much the game opens up the longer you play. If you enjoy economics, investing, trading or complex simulation games, give this a try. Easily 10/10. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal Game! *2026-08-16, version 2.7* Diamond District is genuinely one of the most fun and unique games I’ve played. The game is incredibly well made, but what really sets it apart is the strong community and the direct contact the community has with the dev. Making getting answers to your questions so fast and helpful. ### 5/5 — A Legendary 1 of 1 *2026-08-15, version 2.7* Watching D47 evolve into what it is today has been incredible. The game has come such a long way, and with every major update it feels less like a traditional mobile game and more like a world of its own. What makes D47 special is how genuinely 1 of 1 it feels. There really isn’t another game that combines jewelry design, collecting, trading, player-driven markets, custom pieces, wealth building, and an evolving online economy in quite the same way. It gives you the freedom to build your own identity, develop your own strategies, and create something that actually feels personal. Looking back at where the game started compared to where it is now makes the experience even more impressive. Systems have grown deeper, the economy has become more ambitious, customization continues to expand, and the possibilities feel far greater than they once did. D47 has become the kind of game where you can spend countless hours experimenting, building, trading, designing, and still find another layer you haven’t fully explored. There is something rare about watching a game find its identity in real time, and D47 has done exactly that. It has carved out a lane that is completely its own, and I’m genuinely excited to see just how far it can go. A remarkable game, an incredible evolution, and truly one of one. 💎 ### 5/5 — Ball *2026-08-15, version 2.7* This is ball --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
