The equipment is over priced. When the fuel tank is half full it costs the same as it would be empty. ### 4/5 — Great game *2021-05-28, version 1.2.7* Great game just needs fixing there is a red number one on the app all the time cannot remove it ### 4/5 — Needs update *2021-04-05, version 1.2.7* Great game but needs an update money doesn’t go up the correct amount when tapping machines or paying for fuel spending more on fuel than I’m making as it’s going up a $1/s instead of $20000/s like it should be other than that great game ### 2/5 — Latest bug fix needs fixing. *2021-02-16, version 1.2.7* Love this game but since the latest update I notice my screen moves around a lot for no reason. Also the bonus items for extra gems and cash multipliers speed across the screen now at a ridiculous pace now! If you blink you miss it and there are times I tap on them and it still doesn't register that I tapped on them! Developers need to go back and fix this immediately! ### 2/5 — Could be great...but *2021-01-01, version 1.2.5* Gold rush is popular right now and this app could be great but its not there yet. Way more work needed to make it work. Shame but keep trying ### 4/5 — Good game *2020-12-26, version 1.2.5* So far it’s a pretty good game, I like the graphics.......just one question, is there any way to re-start the game? ### 3/5 — Fix the notification for fuel *2020-12-22, version 1.2.5* You need to go back to when you would get a notification when you fuel tank runs empty as it was quit good when you got notifications from the fuel but now you don’t and I’ve stopped playing as much as taking to much to stay on the app when you can earn money when you got notification from the fuel click on it and refuel and come off again but can’t do that now so don’t spend so much time playing the game ### 3/5 — Mitteilungen fehlen *2020-08-31, version 1.2.5* Früher bekam man eine Mitteilung wenn der Treibstoff alle war. Irgendwie fehlt diese Option. ### 4/5 — Fun game but prices are off *2020-04-05, version 1.2.5* I’ve been playing on and off the last couple of weeks. I’m not at a good point where I make around 1.5million/s. The problem I’m finding is that the equipment now generates a lot of cash, but the cost to run (fuel) it exceeds the profit. That’s before you even add repair costs. It was fun building it up to this point, but now it’s pointless. I don’t want to sit and tap all day. I’m happy to jump on, spend my profits on expanding. But now it’s going backwards. Something I think you should look at. ### 2/5 — 5x not working *2019-11-08, version 1.2.4* The 5x multipler doesn’t work on this game now. When it pops up and you tap on it or the equipment nothing happens ### 4/5 — Fun game *2019-10-19, version 1.2.4* Fun game but the multiplier isn’t working unless I’m doing something wrong ### 2/5 — What now *2019-10-18, version 1.2.4* So the game is interesting but at some point it just gets redundant and boring no new maps no new areas just keeping equipment running. After you max everything out it just because dumb ### 4/5 — X 5 doesn’t work *2019-10-11, version 1.2.4* My only complaint is that the 5X that pops up doesn’t work. This should be fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greedy developers *2023-05-01, version 1.2.7* Greedy Developers are gone, they don’t care about anyone but themselves and the money that they rake in from this game. They have not brought anything new in over 2 years but yet still being in money from people waiting for something new in the game. We know that won’t happen because the greedy developers only care about making money, not the people who make it for them. ### 1/5 — Costs to much money to buy things *2021-10-24, version 1.2.7* Costs to much money to buy things you need to fix this bring prices down and money up and that goes for your other mining game to ### 1/5 — Impossible to play with multiple fingers *2021-04-15, version 1.2.7* It’s nearly impossible to play the game with multiple fingers to speed up the money gathering process. Multi clicking on the main area is not that but when you try and do the same with any of the mines that you bought the screen starts scrolling like crazy. The game thinks that you are trying to scroll instead of trying to click more. Kinda ridiculous how small the “dead zone” is. Not worth the time. ### 1/5 — Money counter is broken *2021-03-31, version 1.2.7* Okay game so far it’s EXTREMELY time consuming. There is DEFINITELY something wrong with the money counter. One minute I’ll be making a tone of money then I buy a new upgrade to make more money and the cash flow turns 2x slower. I’m on the verge of deleting it. ### 1/5 — Just a tapping game *2020-07-21, version 1.2.5* Wasn’t the worst game to pass some time, it glitched prettt early on for me thankfully and stopped me wasting any more time ! It stops you buying and levelling certain things and just stops you progressing ### 1/5 — Scam app for ever *2020-02-17, version 1.2.5* Such a scam won’t even let you play when you tap the app to play it it brings you to a black screen then stays like that. Just a wast i tried to have it load but “20” mins later still on black screen. Plz do not buy it is wast. ### 1/5 — Would Not Recommend *2020-01-05, version 1.2.5* Unrealistic costs for equipment and repairs. After building up money for new equipment, get hit with a 30 million dollar repair bill. Game is a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Just a joke *2019-11-19, version 1.2.4* Biggest waste of time I’ve come across ### 1/5 — Give my progress back *2019-10-26, version 1.2.4* I had the dredge then my game crashed and it’s all gone not I’m pressed ### 1/5 — Dredge *2019-09-06, version 1.2.4* Once you get to the dredge you game is at a stop. You can do anything but click and I clicked all day for two days and still don’t have the dredge built. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gold rush gold empire *2021-03-02, version 1.2.7* The game i found weird abit about what you actuly earn as i click on macine give £25 million yet it dont register as that amount either with fuel or manualy other than that a good game ### 5/5 — The good way *2020-04-15, version 1.2.5* It's a nice solid game but the developers really need to make it where u can miner by driving the vehicles many in the future?? ### 5/5 — a bug *2020-02-21, version 1.2.5* once you reach $1 millions you don’t make as much money as it says other wise i love it ### 5/5 — Gold rush *2020-01-14, version 1.2.5* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Amazing app and ya *2019-11-02, version 1.2.4* The game is amazing as it could be but the tapping our device gets old tho but get game over all🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Pas de X5 *2019-09-27, version 1.2.4* Le X5 ne marche pas sa encourage pas ### 5/5 — Araçlar pahalı *2019-04-28, version 1.2.3* Araçların fiyatı çok yüksek ve bunun için aylar gerekiyor ### 5/5 — It’s a very detailed game. *2019-02-18, version 1.1.3* The gold rush theme is pretty realistic. I like how you have to refuel the equipment, buy, and also repair it. It’s nice how the game is developed under this theme. Thanks for making this game... ### 5/5 — Mining *2019-02-15, version 1.1.3* So fun can't get enough ### 5/5 — Macht Spaß *2019-02-13, version 1.1.3* Wer das Spiel nicht versteht, weiß wahrscheinlich auch nicht, wie eine Toilette funktioniert. Da braucht man doch keine Anleitung für.... Bis jetzt läuft alles gut. Keine Bugs oder ähnliches. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
