Bad game don’t buy. ### 3/5 — Review *2023-02-15, version 7.1.66(22)* To many adds to enjoy the game fully. ### 2/5 — decoration? *2023-02-13, version 7.1.66(22)* yes trying to do the goals to receive diamonds. Keeps telling me to upgrade classroom decorations to level 3. I have them at level 2 and the thing says I am 100% of completion level for that room yet goals keep telling me to get to level 3. Not sure if this is a mistake in game or if I Am just missing something ### 2/5 — Want to really like *2023-02-06, version 7.1.65(22)* I really want to like this game. The amount of ads you need to watch are crazy so I bought the no ads option. However, I am to the point now that in the missions it is asking me to upgrade parking to level 9, it is maxed out at level 2. No more options to upgrade from there. Missions is also asking me to upgrade decorations in the classroom and the nap room but there are no decorations to upgrade at all. What do I do to complete these missions??? Is there anywhere that we are supposed to add power??? In the upper left of the screen I see a lighting bolt with 1/5 next to it. There is now power room. What are we supposed to do???? ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-02-01, version 7.1.65(22)* Lots of ads didn’t get to play properly as there was an ad a minuet. ### 1/5 — Annoying Ads *2023-01-31, version 7.1.65(22)* Ads every time you close an area for upgrade, amazingly annoying. There is an answer to it though! Pay a bit to get rid of ads they push. Or, can just delete it… Would not be so bad if it was less frequently and/or price to remove was more reasonable. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2023-01-28, version 7.1.63* Every twenty seconds a ad popped up. Instantly uninstalled the game. ### 1/5 — Trop de pubs *2023-01-26, version 7.1.63* Injouable trop de pubs. ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2023-01-25, version 7.1.63* Can’t even make it 10 minutes into the game without an ad popping up after every action you take, this is ridiculous. I understand using ads to make money but most people aren’t going to even want to play if they can’t do anything. You can buy ad free but you shouldn’t have to be basically forced to. Do better. ### 3/5 — Good game but it’s glitches *2023-01-25, version 7.1.63* I used to play this game and really liked it so I re-download it now it just glitches for me, at first it wouldn’t let me but the cafeteria when I had the money so I uninstalled it then installed it again now every time I go to buy some thing else I have to watch a ad. Once these are fix I downloaded it back ### 1/5 — Wish I could play it!!! *2023-01-24, version 7.1.62* I just downloaded this game, saved up the money to open the cafeteria and it won’t let me click the button for it and won’t let me click anything else either. Seemed like a cute game to play if it would actually let me play it. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-01-23, version 7.1.62* It literally won’t let me tap to buy the cafeteria and there’s nothing else I can do because it prompts me to do it upon opening the app. ### 2/5 — Not working *2023-01-22, version 7.1.62* I downloaded this thinking it would be a really good game, have had it less than an hour and it will not let me buy the canteen, tells me I have enough money for it but it just shows the finger pressing the button and won’t allow me to buy it or anything else. Very disappointing!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rate *2026-07-21, version 7.2.3* Bad money slow ### 1/5 — Meh *2023-12-15, version 7.2* I love Idle Miner so thought I’d try this one out. First I was shocked you had to buy an upgrade to be able collect while not actually on the game. Kinda defeats the purpose of the game. I maxed out everything in less than 6 hours of playtime. Multiple things were glitching: bus, not getting gems for completed task, not to mention there’s no way to complete the task towards the end?? Sorely disappointed 🤨 ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2023-09-05, version 7.2* Probably one of the worst tycoon games I’ve played. The app has ripped me off multiple times with add ons. I’ve tried to pay for add ons and restore purchases and the game picks and chooses when they want to give you your money back or add what you paid for into the game. Don’t download ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR TIME *2023-08-12, version 7.2* Clearly these creators don’t care since I don’t see them replying to anyone, but anyways DO NOT PURCHASE NO ADS!!! It does not work, I’m just glad apple has a way for me to get a refund ### 1/5 — Expensive slow money earning AND pop ups every 5 seconds *2023-08-10, version 7.2* The game is great but the first couple of things I noticed is that a lot of things are really expensive! I mean the desks in the classroom are 1.5k just to buy and then it goes up to 3.5k to upgrade another this is that you earn money INCREDIBLY slow it takes like 5 minutes maybe even 10 just for me to get like 2k dollars and another thing is that I have pop ups every 5 seconds for like the bus to get 5 more customers or it’s the person that gives to extra money like space out the pop ups I’ll keep the game but I won’t play it until something is fixed over all I would say don’t download it un less you wanna go through all the things I just stated just don’t ### 1/5 — Less videos please *2023-07-26, version 7.2* I wish there were less videos to watch, there are just way too many. I like the game other than that. ### 1/5 — Terrible response time and not receiving rewards *2023-07-19, version 7.2* I was having a great time with this game. It is cute and fun and very similar to a lot of the idle games. However, I realized that my jams were racking up and I had 116, 120, 140 but, nothing was appearing up at the top. Meaning, I was not receiving them they were just being tracked for the challenge. I reached out to customer service and heard nothing back. I’ve waited for two days. Then I log on this afternoon to find that I can now receive gems when tasks are completed but all my progress has been reset!! I was at 4 stars and had built and upgraded everything up through the indoor playground and it has taken me all the way back to before building the classroom. I’ve reached out to customer service again and heard nothing. Screenshots were sent each time fyi. Play at your own risk. ### 1/5 — Upset! *2023-07-14, version 7.2* I purchased the ad free option and I still have to watch ads. I’m very upset!! ### 1/5 — Purchases *2023-04-01, version 7.1.66(23)* I’ve spent $7.99 for no ads, all the game kept doing was spinning. Exit out came back in still ads. Even went as far as to spend the 11.99 for no ads. Same thing! I would like my refund please ### 1/5 — Paiement aucune pubs *2023-03-25, version 7.1.66(23)* Ça fait 2 fois que j’essaies, non, que je PAIE pour avoir aucune pub et ça ne fonctionne pas 😡 Ça fait juste charger et je ne peux rien faire pendant de ce moment-là 😡 Vous me devez 11,99$ + 7,99$!!! 😡😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Totally amazing *2025-12-07, version 7.2.2* I have had so much fun and it’s on my first hour playing it there’s no way I can get bored ### 5/5 — Yay *2023-06-16, version 7.1.68(25)* It’s so cool ### 5/5 — The only thing I would *2023-05-06, version 7.1.68(25)* I am so happy to see that I have the best life ever 💖 ### 5/5 — 7/10 *2023-02-28, version 7.1.66(22)* This game is fun without ads ### 5/5 — Good *2023-01-29, version 7.1.63* Good game ### 5/5 — Cute game *2022-10-08, version 7* Not a bad game, very similar to the other idle ones. My only complaint is there wasn’t much to upgrade. I finished the 2 maps available in less than an hour. Hoping there’s an update soon since I paid $10 for the ad pass and didn’t use it very long! My other suggestion would be to fix the “promotion” bug. It doesn’t let you buy promotions for your daycare after you get the ad pass. ### 5/5 — Very good *2022-09-17, version 7* Love playing this game. But have completed 2 now. When are we getting a update to move on to the 3rd site. Please hurry ### 5/5 — Why this much *2022-09-09, version 6* I bought the no ads and it said 12.99 but when my purchase went thought it was 13.99 so why did it say 12.99 ### 5/5 — Good game! *2022-08-27, version 6* It’s a really fun and cute game! I really recommend to play ### 5/5 — Trash *2022-08-10, version 6* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃( ˘ ³˘)♥︎( ˘ ³˘)♥︎(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)♡´･ᴗ･`♡(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)♡´･ᴗ･`♡(●’◡’●)ﾉ(つ .•́ _ʖ •̀.)つ♡´･ᴗ･`♡(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(●’◡’●)ﾉ(●’◡’●)ﾉ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎♡´･ᴗ･`♡♡´･ᴗ･`♡♡´･ᴗ･`♡ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)♡´･ᴗ･`♡♡´･ᴗ･`♡(●’◡’●)ﾉ(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)♡´･ᴗ･`♡(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)♡´･ᴗ･`♡(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)♡´･ᴗ･`♡(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(●’◡’●)ﾉ(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼▼・ᴥ・▼ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)ಠ_ಠ(❍ᴥ❍ʋ)(ง'̀-'́)งಠ_ಠ▼・ᴥ・▼ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
