SINGLE. RUN. Again I get it but seriously guys it gets frustrating ### 1/5 — Freezes *2022-11-29, version 1.3.3* Steals purchases ### 1/5 — You get zero stars *2022-11-26, version 1.3.3* I can’t play the game it keeps saying I need to update it but I did all updates fix your dumb game ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2022-11-12, version 1.3.3* this app is constant adds. I mean CONSTANT do not but this game it’s trash. ### 1/5 — Terrible ads even saying no *2022-10-18, version 1.3.3* There’s an option to choose get an ad and couple score.. classic. But even if you press just the claim it still puts an ad on. Games are such jokes nowadays. Anytime this happens on these terrible apps I delete and write a review. ### 1/5 — Drill *2022-09-28, version 1.3.3* Honestly the worst game way too many adds and just not fun😂 ### 1/5 — dumb *2022-09-05, version 1.3.3* really pathetic game. not remotely fun. even drinking this game holds no entertainment value. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads! *2022-07-18, version 1.3.3* So, the aim of this game is to dig with your drill and collect treasures. You can then sell your treasures to upgrade your drill, and finding specific treasures rewards you with new drill skins. The only problem is this: every time you go to sell you treasures, you MUST watch an ad. And obviously, I tried turning off WiFi and Cellular, but apparently you need a connection to play. That seems really dumb and annoying to me, so after finding this out, I quickly uninstalled this. ### 1/5 — BAD!!! *2022-07-11, version 1.3.3* To many ads ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2022-04-10, version 1.2.1* Nothing but ads. So frustrating ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-02-04, version 1.2.1* Can’t use unless you agree to personalised ads and there’s no way to opt out. GDPR bans this so no idea why this terrible app is for sale. ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-12-03, version 1.2.1* forces you to watch an ad after every single dig. Each dig only lasts like 5-10 seconds. So every 10 seconds you have to watch a 5 second ad. Pretty bad. Even if you close the game out it will just negate your rewards for the previous game. The choice to double the earnings isn’t really a choice. You will have to watch an ad either way so might as well get double. ### 2/5 — Great game. But bombarded with ads *2021-11-16, version 1.2.0* It’s a great concepts, I love playing it. Entill I start playing it… ads every 20 seconds litrelly and each ad it 20 seconds long.. not worth playing ### 2/5 — Can’t do anything *2021-10-08, version 1.2.0* Why can’t I do something in the game ### 3/5 — PLSS MODERATORS READDD THIS *2021-09-26, version 1.2.0* It would be way cooler if the extra drills would actually do something like faster dig speed Ir additional capacity and all types if upgrades ### 4/5 — No *2021-09-24, version 1.2.0* No ### 1/5 — 90% ads 10% gameplay *2021-09-23, version 1.2.0* Spend 5 seconds drilling and then get hammered with forced ads each time. Not really interested in playing more because of this. ### 3/5 — Storage *2021-08-25, version 1.2.0* I think the storage should be higher than 53 or maybe add an option for speed. Other than that I enjoy it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!! *2024-06-12, version 1.3.5* STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID and even more STUPID. Terrible, Horrible and full to the brim with ads every minute to a couple minutes. If you don’t believe me then please try this yourself but I promise you that it’s going to be a waste of your time that you’ll never get back!! ### 1/5 — Packed with Ads! Avoid! *2024-03-21, version 1.3.5* This game is packed with un-skippable ads, deleted within minutes. ### 1/5 — Poor use of ads *2023-12-11, version 1.3.5* Cute graphics, fun game controls, slightly overweighted rewards. But the ads. You're forced to watch them no matter what. My trick to turn WiFi off and turn on airplane mode makes the game unusable. So, min 15 sec ad for every 15 sec of gameplay AND can't bipass ads. Instantly deleted. If ads had properly weighted rewards and were exclusively up to the user, you'd probably get more revenue from ads due to more people playing your game. Also, $3.99 to go ad free in this economy? Wild. You're asking too much for such a simple game. Again, you would need to ask for that much if you properly weighted the ads and gave the user more control over how many ads they watch. ### 1/5 — Disgusting uninstalled after 3 mins *2023-11-12, version 1.3.4* Each level lasts 5 seconds just to be hit with a 30 second ad. If the developers had a brain they would increase the amount of ads the further you progress. Not to be absolutely smashed with them every 5 seconds. UNPLAYABLE ### 1/5 — Adverts and seeks money instantly! Shocking! AVOID *2023-10-25, version 1.3.4* On opening the game there is the “no ads” button to pay for £3.99 even before you’ve played!!! One level in, which last all but 5 seconds and right away you’re offered adverts to get increased in game credits. I selected not to, and I STILL got lengthy adverts. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Just awful. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-09-27, version 1.3.4* Would give it zero stars, shoves adds down your throat. ### 1/5 — Can’t play offline? *2023-09-23, version 1.3.4* Downloaded to play on a flight, but you can’t play in airplane mode? Instant 1 star for me. ### 1/5 — Disrespectful and lazy *2023-08-01, version 1.3.4* The amount of ads is insulting, the level generation is bland and uninteresting. I’ve never rated a game so low. I am baffled that it has more than 1 star. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2023-02-24, version 1.3.4* After you drill it'll ask you if you want to watch an ad for 2x rewards. That's cool. If you choose to not watch an ad for 2x rewards, they play an ad anyway. Instant uninstall. ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADD *2023-01-11, version 1.3.4* Theres a 10-15 second ad for pretty much every other drill. The ads probably take up more time than actually playing the game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — May someone please help me *2024-06-07, version 1.3.5* May someone please help me my progress got lost every progress for 3 years got reset ### 5/5 — I love KFC *2022-02-05, version 1.2.1* Satisfied ### 5/5 — Solid *2021-07-17, version 1.2.0* Good game ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-04-13, version 1.1.7* I liked it cause there were not that many games out there and it was just nice in general ### 5/5 — This is the best *2021-04-11, version 1.1.7* I’m king of the best I love it this is like really the best I love this game whoever created this I love them to this game is amazing ### 5/5 — Oooooooo *2020-09-14, version 1.1.6* ✅✅✅👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-08-27, version 1.1.6* Fun fun ### 5/5 — Goooooood ________game *2020-02-29, version 1.1.5* 5555555 ### 5/5 — There is no problemo *2019-08-25, version 1.1.5* For those who say “the adds are annoying” it’s ez TURN YOUR PHONE OR WHATEVER TO AIRPLANE MODE and if you do that boom no adds! ### 5/5 — Digger game *2019-08-22* Pretty good but make a game survival game Start out at level one and It can be a fighting game Or if they want to do something else they can build or create new things to help them with other things And it will look like the zombie apocalypse but they can choose to live in the zombie Apocalypse and then run away from them at firstBut then they have to gather materials and build before they come which will be two hours and it only takes one minute to learn how to build --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
