You may enjoy this game but I just felt, life’s too short… After thought - maybe a video showing what each icon does would make more sense!? ### 2/5 — Awesome concept *2022-08-22, version 1.0.7* Gameplay is straightfirward but satisfying until you get to the real gameplay : watching ads. Damn this gameplay is so amazing, i just LOVEEEE watching forced ads that are 1min-2min long so i can play an additional 30 seconds of the actual game before being re-interrupted by another forced ad. Tip, stop associating yourself with these horrible shady ads company, they dont give a crap about your game or your playerbase. Maybe you'll make more money. And yes there is PLENTY of free amazing games that don't exploit their userbase by forcing ads into their throats. Otherwise cool concept ### 3/5 — Nice idler but *2022-08-22* But this game overheats my iPhone X pretty fast. I guess it’s all the physics engine calculations which enable the slick presentation. I have plenty of praise on the other hand: cool idea for an idle game, relaxing with some mildly active elements if you want them, and pretty generous with the in-game currencies. There are some changes I would like but this is a review of the game as it stands. If the app doesn’t overheat your device, it’ll give you however much time of idle game entertainment you wish. ### 1/5 — Cant play *2022-05-30, version 1.0.5* I downloaded this last night and i can’t even play it. The title screen comes up and then it just stays there. ### 1/5 — More ads than gameplay *2022-05-28* If you want to try the game out before paying for no ads you’re going to spend more time watching ads than playing the game. When you first start playing there are several icons that cover up the game that will only go away if you watch ads for the rewards. Several other incentives in the shop for ads. Plus there are random ads that will pop up just while playing the game. Would not recommend unless you’re wanting an ad viewer app. ### 4/5 — It’s good but.. *2022-05-22* The problem I’m having is the fact every single day I have to restore previous purchases. I shouldn’t have to do that every day. I paid for no ads and here I am watching ads because I have to restore the purchase. This needs to be fixed or my rating will keep getting lower. ### 1/5 — Paid to remove ads, entire game reset *2022-05-21, version 1.0.4* Paid $5 for no ads and now all my progress has been reset. ### 2/5 — Took away purchases I made *2022-05-20, version 1.0.4* I purchased no ads and the rings and it got taken away after the game updated tried to look for restore purchases button but it isnt there ### 1/5 — App does not work *2022-05-19* The game does not launch past the initial loading screen. It clearly is frozen as the brightness on that screen is different each time I launch it. I’m sure it’s just an optimization problem and will be fixed but have to leave a 1 star for now as it’s not playable. ### 1/5 — Far too many ads *2022-05-19, version 1.0.4* I’m not sure how many more ads the developer can put in this game but this is effectively an ad watching game with some idle mechanics thrown in every once in a while. Skip this. ### 1/5 — Forced Ads To Get Rewards *2022-05-17, version 1.0.4* Was a good start to a interesting game, but… when you start forcing a second and third ad to receive a reward that says you only need to watch one ad… well, it’s goodbye for me. Not sure why the developers would that that is acceptable and not make people delete the game. ### 2/5 — 😓 *2022-05-14, version 1.03* it freezes on the loading screen so you can’t even play the game really ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Asked an nothing happened *2023-05-02* Asked about a potion fix and other things was told they would work on it here it is a year later and nothing wasted money and time…would be nice if the developer actually did some thing ### 1/5 — Good game but ball limit too low *2023-04-23, version 1.0.7* It’s a great game but the ball limit is too low the game runs smooth with the ball limit turned all the way up but it still says max balls please fix this ### 1/5 — Can’t even play *2022-10-03, version 1.0.7* Can’t even get the game to open ### 1/5 — Ads and more Ads *2022-09-17, version 1.0.7* Fun easy game to lose yourself to, however ads started popping up frequently, I then went and bought the no ads option for $6.99. Worked for less than a week and then I started to get ads again and still got charged for no ads. ### 1/5 — Won’t load on IPhone 12 Pro *2022-08-09* I’ll review this with a minus star if I could This game I downloaded it and opened it but it won’t load past the title screen and even that screen is really dark. I’ve let it sit on that screen for a few minutes and absolutely nothing changes on it. Willing to change review if the game will ever load and or work on my iPhone 12 Pro ### 1/5 — Won’t even load *2022-08-07, version 1.0.7* Kinda disappointed, seemed like a game I could play and relax but it won’t even load the app to play it. ### 1/5 — Ad Ball Island *2022-07-09* I play a ton of idle games, love them. This is the easily the worst as far as ads. If you don’t watch ads(airplane mode) it takes hour upon hours to do anything simple. If you do watch ads it’s mostly ads. Ads for progression. Ads for rewards. Ads because ads. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Hello *2022-06-17, version 1.0.6* After the update game is not loading I paid money for this game please fix ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2022-06-05, version 1.0.6* Forced ads ### 1/5 — Mandatory ads👎🏻 *2022-06-03, version 1.0.6* Game has mandatory ads, instant uninstall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2023-07-07* This is by far the most relaxing game I have played in a long time. Background music is lovely too. ### 5/5 — Love this Idle Ball Islands *2022-08-24* The game is so pretty and it’s fun! I did buy the one time no ad and I really liked the game even better. I think it was only $4.95, you pay that once, for life! I’m addicted to this beautiful game. ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Just one thing *2022-08-23* This game is amazing. I’m surprised that it has kept my attention for as long as it has. The only issue I have is that there is no option to bulk use potions. Which makes it a pain when you have over 400 of all the types. If the devs could implement a bulk use like with upgrading then that would be amazing. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2022-06-27, version 1.0.6* Tons of fun. No glitches so far! Easy to play. Very satisfying. ### 5/5 — OH MY GOODNESS *2022-06-11, version 1.0.6* This is literally the best game in the whole world! I’ve never been this happy playing a game! I FRICKEN LOVE THIS GAME! I love playing with balls. Who knew it could be this fun!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAGDHDHDGG!!!!! GET THiS GaME!!! ### 5/5 — Stuck *2022-06-02* Love the game ! It’s a fun and chilling idle game ! Just sometimes the balls get all clumped up and stuck ! If they were smaller I don’t think this would happen ! As I don’t mind having to click them all but sometimes there are a lot ! ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2022-05-22* I bought the No Ad thing, and boom I can get sooo many resources haha. I love the way the creator implemented this but not too much to where it makes the game not fun. 10/5 if possible ### 5/5 — Challenging or Relaxing - Your Choice! *2022-05-11* I started playing this game because a friend of mine told me about it to help me relax and forget about the day. And it does just that. I have fun playing as I just relax and kind of zone. I also found it’s very versatile. You can change it up to make it challenging to get more prizes. So whatever my mood is, it fits! ### 5/5 — Relaxing and soothing entertainment *2022-05-10* Continues to amuse me daily with these rolling balls making their way through the island course. I’ve got it rolling in the background and it rewards me when I need a work break, waiting room etc. Just plain enjoyable! I look forward to more islands in this game and more games by this developer! ### 5/5 — Very strategic game! *2022-05-09* If you love strategy, definitely give this game a go! Excellent tutorial and tips to help you learn how to play the game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
