All the ads

I really wanted to love this game. I wanted to feature it on my channels even. But there are just too many ads. What’s worse is they are long, bad, ads that force you to interact with them. All I wanted was to be able to recommend a good Doctor Who game, all I got was more ads than gameplay.

Game isn't fun, nor are the special events

I've only downloaded this game for the Circuit Breaker tie in, and I have to say I'm disappointed with pretty much every aspect of it. First of all, the base gameplay is boring and uninvolved, once you earn enough to automate your waypoints, you only have to sit and wait for an hour to get enough currency to progress. Then, once you finish an episode, all your progress resets, so what's the point of upgrading anything past what's required to beat the stage? Finally, for the "Castling" special event, you unlock very cheap "cutscenes" that only give you 10 pieces of dialog for every completion requirement, which themselves scale WAY too high too fast. The first story section is unlocked at 100 BILLION currency, the second at 10 TRILLION, and the third at 1 QUADRILLION. I've been min-maxing this game as much as I can without spending money (which obviously is the real goal of the app) and I've only unlocked 4 story segments out of SIXTEEN. How do you expect us to gain the whole story and get the most out of this event when it's available for THREE DAYS ONLY. Terrible addition to this multi-media saga, and I will be uninstalling the second the event ends.

Not much fun.

Just got app and played for an hour
Pretty much just pushing buttons to collect without without explaining why.
Don’t know what game goal is other than keep collecting.

Fun game

Fun little time killer

an insane amount of pop up ads begging for money

besides the fact i keep getting disconnected while on a stable wifi network while actively playing, the amount of popup ads i get for "limited time packs" or whatever is actually so annoying, along with having to go through the SAME tutorial during each mini event. please fix this it's actually so annoying

Paid for a lot of in game stuff but lost it all

So I had been playing the game for a while and I uninstalled it after I lost soon interest in the game well I go to redownload the game thinking I would still have my PAID for extra items n things no that didn’t happen I even logged in with my iPhone email n it said I didn’t have any chapters done which is insane bc I know I might have been on like 7 or 8 chapters for the game when I first started to play it n was love it n I love doctor who a lot but this just made me feel mad

Terrible

This is just ad watcher the game. The art is fine and the story is super simple. You will spend 90% of your time watching ads

Redownload and Saves Were Gone

I just re-downloaded this app to play considering it's going to be in involved in the new circuit breakers thing and it started me over from the beginning even though I played it quite a bit

Can’t get past profile creation

It let me play for a while and then suddenly brought me to a profile creation screen, and wouldn’t let me hit ‘save’ for the profile and move on. It wouldn’t even let me tap out of the screen, I’d be fine without a profile, I’d just like to keep playing but now the game is completely stuck.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a quick solution, am I doing something wrong? Or is this just a very specific glitch?

Clone

This is the EXACT same game this company made for The Office. Everything is the same, there is no difference at all. Just a copy and paste for a cash grab. Incredibly lazy..

Overpriced

Game play is ok, but overall is a money trap. Buy this, buy that, $24.99 a month for no ads etc etc.

Fun doctor who mobile game

If you like video games and doctor but don’t want to buy one of the other doctor who console games then this is the game for u.

This game is amazing

I watch Doctor Who every single time I go to my dad‘s house

Get rid of the small savings jar and do something about the scammy weight loss ads

This game is going down the toilet
The small savings jar is a total rip off.
I refuse to pay real money for this game
It’s no longer any fun (not that it was much fun to start with) I am a huge Doctor Who fan and it saddens me to see the legacy being ruined
Do something about the fake weight loss ads as an eating disorder survivor I find them offensive and dangerous
I don’t play a game to be bullied like this

Looks like more of a comic book than a game

It sure looks like more of a comic book than a game. Gave up reading the screens and clicking this, that and the other. “Time” to delete… (get it? Time, time traveling.. real knee-slapper!)

Awash with scam ads

This game includes some good design and storytelling. Sadly it’s become infested with AI-generated ads for obvious scams for weight-loss drugs and the like. I’ve reported these repeatedly and nothing happens, so I can only conclude the developers don’t care as long as the money keeps rolling in. A main feature hasn’t worked for months. When I reported this the response said they’d fix it in the next patch. There have been several patches since then so I can only assume the game is being slowly run into the ground through lack of investment and attention, while it’s rinsed for ad cash.

Good game but could improve

I like the game and the reward boxes come often, which really helps me advance. The one annoying part is that at the beginning of every event, we are forced to go through the tutorial on how to click the screen areas.

Gross ads and game resets

For a game that’s aimed at teenagers the ads are awful comprising of diet and weight loss meds that are not helpful for people who struggle with body image
My game keeps losing progress and resetting back by a few hours I am unable to complete events
I have tolerated this game as I am a Whovian but it is not doing the legacy any favours

Fun game!

Basically, I started playing this aftermy friend recommended the show. I got fixed on doctor who and became a true whovian. This was 5 years ago. Once I watched Ncuti Gatwas era (I hated all episodes except for the ones with the gods and that midnight alien), I decided I wanted to find a game for the show. I first downloaded Doctor who comic creator - which I highly recommend - then Lost In Time which blew me out of this world! I have played all events and got 43 on Dalek-Bumps! The episodes are amazing and I have the 2nd, 4th, 14th, 15th and war doctors! I have only been playing for 2 months but I truly appreciate this creation. Highly recommended by me.

Dissapointing

Great story and character work, very difficult to get achievements past level 10 without paying for in game currency and/or watching a staggering number of adds. Gave up on it as there was very little game play remaining without transactions.
