### 4/5 — Love this game, but no longer works with voice over

*2026-04-24, version 2.20*

Been playing this game for years, and still do, but the game no longer works with voice over. The latest version broke  voice over compatibility. Yes, there is a built in voice that works, but it isn’t adjustable, and it’s irritating needing to turn off voice over just for this game. Worked just fine until thhe latest update.

### 4/5 — Incredible game, but can no longer play due to accessibility issues

*2026-03-30, version 2.20*

This is an absolutely amazing and addictive game I played it for ages but about six months ago I opened it to find that VoiceOver completely didn’t work. It wouldn’t read anything out at all which is such a shame because I absolutely love this game. I think it’s amazing, please as soon as you can update it so VoiceOver works again.

### 3/5 — 詰んだ

*2026-03-17, version 2.20*

ダイヤモンドが作れず詰みました。
材料は揃っている、生産条件も開放、でも生産ボタンをおしても生産が始まりません。
レベルアップに必要なアイテムなのに作れないということで、バグによる進行不能を迎え、残念ながらクリアとなりました。
今までありがとうございました。

### 3/5 — Please fix video rewards with voiceover

*2026-01-15, version 2.20*

Hi, I like the major update and all the fixes but I was just wondering if there’s any kind of a way that you guys can maybe fix the rewards screen to be works working with voiceover because when I go to watch an ad so I can get a reward. I gotta turn voiceover back on just to close the ad and then just to get a claim another reward. I gotta turn voiceover back off scroll to where it says. Watch another video gain another reward which is fine. I’ll click on it the adult start playing, but then I gotta turn voiceover back on to close the ad just to get my gems for the video rewards. Is there anyway that you can fix that please and thank you because to play the game you have to turn VoiceOver completely off now like before you didn’t have to, but now you gotta turn VoiceOver completely off but then when you get to where you can click OK so you can play the video to gain a jam while to close that video you have to turn voiceover back on is there anyway you guys can fix that please and thank you Cause sometimes I won’t use eye award when it’s available the reward. I won’t use it when it’s available because you have to turn VoiceOver off and on constantly and it is kind of getting annoying. However, if I do need a certain amount of gems like a couple here and there I’ll deal with it I’ll I’ll turn voiceover on just to close the ad. Turn it back off so I can play another ad but yeah is there anyway you guys can fix this please and thank you And the fact gets fixed, cause I heard another reviewer say the same thing I’ll take my rating up two more stars and then that’ll be a whole five star rating

### 3/5 — Dégradation du jeu

*2025-12-13, version 2.20*

Bonjour, ce jeu était super mais depuis la dernière mise à jour je n’avance plus, je suis bloqué à la laine et au métal. Et aussi je ne peux plus jouer avec activer.

### 3/5 — voice Over support funktioniert nicht mehr

*2025-12-08, version 2.20*

Hallo,
ich bin neulich auf den Gedanken gekommen, Crafting Kingdom nach einigen Jahren mal wieder runterzuladen und noch mal neu anzufangen. Als ich das Spiel aber zum ersten mal öffnete, konnte ich mit voice over rein gar nichts machen, weder mit direkter Berührung eingeschaltet, noch mit der Bildschirmerkennung. Es gibt anscheinend jetzt eine Sprachausgabe, die nur funktioniert, wenn man voice over ausschaltet. Man kann weder die Stimme, noch die Geschwindigkeit anpassen. Dies ist für mich extrem Traurig, da ich es liebe, Spiele auf Englisch zu spielen und eine Deutsche Stimme, die mir englische Spielinhalte im Schneckentempo vorließt, ist echt nervig. Bitte bringt das in Ordnung. Crafting Kingdom ist ein Spiel, das echt spaß macht, aber mit der neuen Sprachausgabe ist es nur noch anstrengend.

### 2/5 — Accessibilité

*2025-11-29, version 2.20*

Bonjour, depuis la dernière mise à jour, le jeu n’est plus du tout accessible, y aurait-il une manipulation à faire ? Merci, je suis une personne aveugle.

### 3/5 — Dégradation de l’accessibilité

*2025-11-22, version 2.20*

Dommage que cette mise à jour dégrade l’accessibilité. Maintenant on ne peu plus jouer avec VoiceOver activé.
Je voudrais pouvoir revenir à la version précédente.

### 3/5 — Update needed for accessibility bug immediately

*2025-11-22, version 2.20*

If you can, I need help I cannot turn game accessibility on. I accidentally turned it off if possible please come out with a patch. That way those of us with visual impairments can play with our regular voiceover thank you. Was not very happy that accessibility was not included in this last update.

### 3/5 — 課金したのにジェムが増えない

*2025-11-16, version 2.12*

いつも楽しく遊ばせていただいていますが、ジェムを500個購入したのに、なぜか保留中のまま。Appleでは手続きが完了しているのに、なぜか増えません。時間が解決してくれることを願っています。

### 3/5 — Bad control with voiceover

*2025-02-20, version 2.12*

This is one of the worst games I have tried to use voice over with. It’s harder to explain let’s just start that the icon box for VoiceOver is so thin and that te box square won’t go on everything

### 3/5 — Wann kommt eine echte Speichermöglichkeit in der iCloud?

*2024-04-13, version 2.12*

Es war schon lange kein Update mehr. Es fehlt eine Abomöglichkeit, und eine speichermöglichkeit in der cloud.

### 3/5 — Can you update more often, please????

*2024-03-07, version 2.12*

I would like if instead of just a gym when you watch a video to have a few instead of just one, videos are not my favorite thing. It hurts my ears because they’re so loud sometimes I can’t mute them, but not always. so please make this happen at a different things and to the game as well.

### 3/5 — Traurig, nicht mal ein Neuanfang ist möglich… 😢

*2023-02-28, version 2.12*

Ich habe die App gelöscht und neu installiert und meinen Spielstand zurückgesetzt, um von vorne anfangen zu können. In Bezug auf die Edelsteine, die ich vorher hatte, hat das auch geklappt. Auch sämtlicher Fortschritt in Sachen Quests wurde zurückgesetzt. Leider bekomme ich dennoch jedes Mal die Fehlermeldung. Es gäbe leider nichts Neues für mich, wenn ich versuche aufzusteigen, nachdem ich die Quests gelöst habe. alles was mir jetzt noch bleibt es mit einem Busplatz auf der ersten Stufe zu arbeiten. Sehr schade! Habe das Spiel sehr gemocht und würde mich freuen, wenn dieses Problem behoben wird und man nach einem erfolgreichen Aufstieg zumindest wieder von vorne anfangen könnte.

### 1/5 — VoiceOver

*2026-03-02, version 2.20*

O jogo, depois da última atualização, deixou completamente de ser acessível. Só consigo jogar com o VoiceOver desativado, mas a voz é lenta demais. Seria ótimo se corrigissem.

### 1/5 — What has happened?

*2025-11-28, version 2.20*

Like others I have noticed in the blind community this game is sudden become much less accessible and less one turns VoiceOver off. If you want my opinion and I’m sure other blind people would agree with me could you address this when you possibly can to put it back. I realise that there are some games out there that one can play without one’s VoiceOver, but it would be better if we could play using VoiceOver is how I think about this personally therefore to know what’s actually happening here thank you in advance.

### 1/5 — La accesibilidad

*2025-11-24, version 2.20*

En la última versión no es compatible con VoiceOver

### 1/5 — Fun to play but there is a finite amount of quests.

*2025-08-12, version 2.12*

I am a blind gamer and love the fact that I can play without needing to see the screen at all. I have been so adicted to this game that I've completed all available quests. It would be nice if the quests reset at higher amounts and less rewards so that you are always chasing a better production setup but will never run out of quests. Please consider adding more. I haven't seen any quests for many of the blacksmith products or the Jeweler. 

Also the latest update has some problems. 
When adding over 50 production slots with automations the game slows way down and voiceover or the stock reader becomes no longer responsive. I need to force quit the game to regain usability. 

Also please consider adding more build outs for the estate. I'm maxed out and would love more options.

### 1/5 — Обман

*2024-11-24, version 2.12*

### 1/5 — What is wrong with this game

*2023-06-18*

The first thing I did when I is noticed that it goes into the menu now and it won’t let me play when I click play I cannot get back into my game is there a new update coming out or what? Because it was not I lost everything. I just now went into it. I had all my buildings and everything unlocked I had over 107,000 diamond rings. Getting ready to finish making the rest and I don’t know what you guys did to this game but not every time you open it it’s just crafting Kingdom main menu they will you flip to the right it’ll say play when you click play it beeps (Deluxe Edition) so please fix ASAP so I can continue I hate to delete the game and start all over again if I have to do that there’s no sense in reinstalling it took me all this time to get to where I’m at. now it’s even got the option when you flip Clear to the right it says quit game and you click it it says goodbye but it won’t even let you play when you go to click play. What is going on here please fix ASAP or respond to my review. Thank you. Star rating will get changed when game gets better. I was getting ready to open the game and go back into it to see where my progress was. No it just goes to the menu. why is that? I spent all this time on the game now it won’t even let me back into the world map so you’re telling me I lost all my buildings all the products that I spent time on walking come on guys.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-11-19, version 2.05*

The only good thing about this game is that is accessible with voiceover thank you for that!  
But you don’t activate the game like you don’t update often enough and the game is so hard to complete i’m sorry I just liked it but not anymore it’s not worth it.

### 1/5 — Super jeux pour aveugle mais...

*2021-01-18, version 2.05*

Impossible d’obtenir les diamants après avoir regardé une publicité tout en utilisant VoiceOver d’apple. 
C’est dommage ça fait très longtemps que j’ai faitce commentaire et le problème n’est toujours pas réglé aujourd’hui le 18/01/21
Je songe sérieusement À abandonner

### 1/5 — Update

*2020-12-10, version 2.05*

### 5/5 — Help me cope

*2026-05-24, version 2.20*

This is one of the games that helped me cope when I was dealing with missing family at summer camp will be going back to summer camp soon so I have re-downloaded it. It is such a fun game. The Voice doesn’t bother me so much but it is such a fun game

### 5/5 — Improve the accessibility of the game

*2026-03-02, version 2.20*

Hi dear developer how are you? We hope you are better. We are blind people we hope to update this game and makes it very accessible with VoiceOver as soon as possible and also updating collective colonies. Thank you very much. We are very grateful for you

### 5/5 — Crafting kingdom

*2025-11-24, version 2.20*

I love this app, but is it possible to update it to be compatible with iOS 26? Also, I love how you can turn off voiceover and just also use the game’s built-in accessibility feature, but I also love to use VoiceOver, and my app just got updated a couple of days ago, and so now Voiceover isn’t even working at all anymore, even though I have Direct Touch turned on, and so now I have to turn off voiceover every single time that I want to play. This is kind of annoying since when I have VoiceOver turned on, I also have Direct Touch turned on.  I never, ever even used to have any problems with both VoiceOver and Direct Touch turned on before at all until my app just got updated a couple of days ago. Is there any chance at all that you can please fix this? Thanks.

### 5/5 — IDEAS

*2025-02-17, version 2.12*

Is there someone I can talk to about ideas and working with this company to make a game ?

### 5/5 — Decent Game

*2025-02-09, version 2.12*

Very good idea. I particularly like seeing my gold increase, the rewards from the princess are worth collecting and the game in general is smooth and easy to navigate. Also it's accessible. Thank you so much to Metal Pop for making that so.

### 5/5 — Love this game!!!

*2024-08-17, version 2.12*

So I download this game about two weeks ago? Maybe it was more like one. I can’t remember. But anyways, loved it at first glance! I am a fully blind person, so this game was really cool for me! I’ve never been able to play a game like this except for A Dark Room. which is fun, but I like this game, especially because of the music. Also, in my opinion, this game is more interactive. Like, you have to collect things and stuff. Just have a few suggestions, though. first of all, I don’t know if this is a feature later in the game. I don’t think so, but then again I don’t know anything because I just got this game. But if it’s not a feature, I feel like we should be able to buy stuff from other people. Like, if another user is selling something, and we go into the city to sell our own things, there should be a button that says, bye. If you buy something you lose gold, but you gain whatever it is. For instance, if one person is selling 50 logs, we can go to buy those logs. We lose, we can so we don’t have to make them with meat, grain, etc. I just think this would be cool. But if it’s already a thing, just ignore this. also, y’all should make something where you are threatened by someone or something. I know that some people would disagree. And maybe this is only a setting so you could change it if you want to. But maybe you could have like someone who would try to steal your products or gold. You have to build up security and keep sure that it is upgraded to the next level. It will cost you gems or gold to upgrade though. Leslie, I would love to see some kind of chat or something in the game. Some kind of two player edition maybe? Maybe where you can steal other peoples products. Kind of like in the game Sonar Islands, where you can attack other peoples islands. But maybe you could try to attack their estates or estate. I feel like this would be really cool. Just because, it be cool to have some kind of threat in the game. It’s very relaxing to play it, because you can kind of do it at your own pace, but then again, it’d be really cool if there was something that you have to be careful of. Thank you, then again this game! Good job!

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing game!

*2023-11-12, version 2.12*

Absolutely love this game, but have one small issue. I’ve just recently completed the quest where you have to buy five boost slots, which allowed me to have an extra boost slot, available anytime I wanted to use it. But for some reason, now it’s showing that the extra boost slot is locked again, and that the quest is at 0%, even though I’ve already completed it. Don’t know if it’s something to do with a bug with the game, but hope that the developers can get this problem fixed ASAP. Otherwise, great game, and I definitely give it five stars, especially because of the fact that it is very accessible with voiceover. So, great job.
