### 3/5 — Question for the devs

*2025-05-18, version 14.0.9*

Hi I have played this game for a couple years just as a side hobby and today I have noticed that the prices for like no adds is one cent is that a bug or is there something else going on?

### 3/5 — Хорошая игра в дорогу

*2024-07-18, version 14.0.4*

Игра хорошая особенно без интернета и ещё она хорошая в дорогу также она очень сильно заманчивая

### 3/5 — When it works it’s cool

*2022-08-15, version 14.0.2*

Paying for No Ads works as it’s supposed too. However you still have the CHOICE to watch some ads for bonus gold and/or boosts. BANNER ads and In-Between mission ads is what you’re paying to eliminate, not all ads, and those that are left are NOT forced. 

When the game isn’t crashing my iPhone it’s fun. It’ll hard lock the phone and make it restart. Not all the time and it does it both in Airplane Mode and normal cellular/wifi mode. It happens randomly for me. Also, the phone will get REALLY HOT sometimes. This is also random for me. Yes it’s always a little warm while playing but sometimes it’s way to hot and forces a shut down. The shut down is NOT always due to over temperature, it’ll just happen while playing or when it gets too hot. 

So again, when the game is working the way it’s supposed to, it is quite fun.

### 1/5 — I paid for no ads and I still have ads :(

*2022-04-19, version 14.0.2*

Still have ads all the time!!!

### 1/5 — Stars

*2022-04-16, version 14.0.2*

Why can’t I merge my three pink stars?? I know there’s a rank beyond that and it’s not letting me merge not to mention all the crashing. Love the game but those things make me want to delete it now

### 1/5 — ADS RUIN THE GAME

*2022-01-20, version 14.0.2*

Dont be fooled by the reviews, do not download or you’ll regret it

### 1/5 — 白痴game

*2022-01-15, version 14.0.2*

痴撚線，睇廣告仲多過玩隻game.

### 3/5 — Game crashes

*2021-11-28, version 14.0.2*

As I get closer to 5000 kills in a game it crashes every time starts back like if I wasn’t ever playing on it. Restarts from the beginning. Then when I get closer to 5000 kills it resets again. Got to go onto the game and back into timeless. What’s going on here.

### 3/5 — Alright but my phone hates it

*2021-11-10, version 14.0.2*

It’s an alright game, not what I would consider idle as you have to actively play. Idk what is running in the background, but playing this game turns my iPhone 12 Mini into a tiny sun. 
Phone is so hot I can feel the heat through my case and even on the screen. 
Had to delete.

### 1/5 — Phone crashed. Twice.

*2021-11-09, version 14.0.2*

This game bricked my 2 month old iPhone 12 twice, in less than 5 minutes. Don’t know if it is a strategy by the game devs because I had my internet turned off to avoid ads, but it happened. Game pretty good otherwise.

### 1/5 — Crashed my phone

*2021-11-09, version 14.0.2*

Every time I filled all the slots my phone froze and then went black and restarted. It didn’t just crash the game, it crashed my whole phone

### 1/5 — Beyond waste of time

*2021-11-09, version 14.0.2*

Game play is pretty fun. But there are more ads than a porn site.  you spend more time watching ads than playing. Seems like a young teen created this app without any knowledge of marketing this app and making a profit

### 1/5 — It broke

*2021-11-08, version 14.0.2*

Was having a lot of fun with this. Even paid to get ads removed (there’s still a lot of ads for extra things). And it broke. I can speed up some things and the timer for the endless mode is frozen and longer than it should be. All the upgrades in the base have disappeared. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-08-01, version 14.1.0*

The most insane amount of ads I’ve ever come across in a game, unplayable due to the amount. Would rate zero stars if it was possible.

### 1/5 — Non-stop Ads

*2025-10-24, version 14.0.9*

Can't even buy your way out of the ads

### 1/5 — I need the game bck in macos

*2024-12-09, version 14.0.4*

Dear kwalee ltd

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the removal of  Idle army  from macOS. As a dedicated user, I found the app invaluable deleted Its absence has disrupted my workflow and reduced the overall utility of my Mac.

I urge you to consider reinstating [idle army] for macOS, as it was a crucial tool for many users like me. Your decision would undoubtedly strengthen user satisfaction and loyalty.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope you will consider this feedback

### 1/5 — bro i want the app back in macos

*2024-12-09*

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to express my frustration and disappointment regarding the absence of [App Name] from macOS. I’ve been a loyal user of your app for quite some time, and its sudden disappearance has been incredibly inconvenient for me and many others in the macOS community.

The app was a key part of my daily workflow, and its functionality on macOS was seamless, intuitive, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was [describe specific features that were particularly useful], or simply the ease of use, there is no alternative that quite matches the experience it provided.

Since its removal, I've had to search for less effective alternatives, none of which come close to the same level of performance or integration on macOS. As a result, I'm left feeling disappointed, as I know many others are as well.

I would like to kindly request that you reconsider bringing idle army  back to macOS. It would mean a great deal to many of us who have come to rely on your software and its valuable features.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing the return of to macOS in the near future.

*2024-06-04, version 14.0.4*

I love the game i found it like Maybe this will be dumb i try it out. But when i did i was like EZ but then After it got hard i was addicted and it doesnt just give pop up ads out of nowhere when youre playing. The only ads are if you want a free soldier or something. It is fun! Love the game and the hero feature and the merging. It is a very addictive game and it is casual like if you're bored and you cant find a game to play Play this! It is fun and addicting. I Recommend playing the game. But it does repeat i little bit. Maybe i could help with the guys and jow hard the game is. I am good at that.
