The only issue is that there’s more ads than there is gameplay. Every few minutes has a forced ad. $10 to remove ads for a time killer is kind of insane. I’ve literally opened the app and immediately got the “Ad Break” notification less than 15-30 seconds after opening the app on several different occasions. I’d love to give it a 5 star review but the ads nearly ruin the game ### 2/5 — Fun while it lasted *2026-08-16, version 1.26.1* Was a good 2 weeks of this game being enjoyable, but no updates and reaching the end makes it pointless. Once you own everything there is nothing else to do. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-08-01, version 1.26.1* Good game just a little to many ads ### 2/5 — Money hungry *2026-07-28, version 1.26.1* The game is very enjoyable and good progression but man all these ads are terrible. I work twice and I have an ad break after just having one not even 30 seconds ago. ### 3/5 — Decent game *2026-07-19* I like the game, however one thing bugs me. The dating is a bit inappropriate and I don’t like seeing these images, I don’t know if this dating is required or not or if it gives me any bonuses but i don’t like it. I find it a bit objectifying. Otherwise, it’s a pretty great game ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-10, version 1.26.1* I like the game. It’s not so challenging you can’t play. I like that you don’t have to pay to play and I don’t mind watching reward ads but the forced ads are too frequent. ### 1/5 — Dauerwerbesendung *2026-06-26* Wie alle China Spiele. Man wird mit einer guten Idee angeteasert. Und nach 5 Minuten spielen kommt in Sekunden Takt Werbung. Stumpfsinnig und langweilig… Ladet euch das Spiel nicht darunter kostet euch nur Lebenszeit… ### 1/5 — Forced ads. *2026-06-21, version 1.26.1* Ad festerama. Don’t waste your time ### 3/5 — Great game, random ads ruin it *2026-06-20* Good little game to play and easy to follow and lose hours on, buuuut the random ads popping up is this apps downfall. There are loads of opportunities to watch ads such as the dating line of things, to speed up build times, speed up travel time, so having an ad pop up randomly when you’re mid task completely ruins the app, get rid of the random ads and this game is perfect ### 1/5 — Crazy ad *2026-06-20, version 1.26.1* Love the Game 5 start but the amount of ad that piss me off hhh. Very poor ### 1/5 — Please remove ads *2026-06-20* Everything about this game is fine, but to much advert, i like playing it but because of so many ads every 10-30 seconds i’m rating the game only 1 stars and recommending more people give only 1 stars until the game creator will remove ads or longer adverts minimum every 10 mins ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-06-18, version 1.26.1* You have quite a few forced adds and your remove add price is very high. Besides that I’m loving the game. ### 3/5 — Broken Ads Ruin Boosts *2026-06-16, version 1.26.1* Alright, this game was a nice time killer, but some of its basic functions are hidden behind ad walls such as the pets. Sometimes when I press the ad options, it gives a 1002 error and says the ad failed to produce. I hit the button at least ten times and still get an error so I am unable to proceed with that game aspect until I hit an ad that works. Now, other than that, this game has a lot of facets to it so I don’t get bored, so I was enjoying this game before that happened. If this bug could be fixed, I would attempt another round. ### 1/5 — Muito anúncio *2026-06-16* Jogo é bom, mas só tem anúncio a cada clique que você dá na tela… se Reduzir os anúncios o jogo fica melhor ### 3/5 — Good but Ads ruin it *2026-06-15, version 1.26.1* It’s good but ADS ruin it really ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — just nope *2026-08-06, version 1.26.1* cant really play a game when there is “Ads break” every 20 seconds ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-04, version 1.26.1* Ad like every time I’m doing something. Decent game but too many ads popping up ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-24, version 1.26.1* Absolutely unplayable because of ads. I can’t even play it enough to know if I want to pay to remove them. ### 1/5 — Lots of potential - shady purchases *2026-07-21, version 1.26.1* Good game with tons of bugs. Very high potential to be, in my opinion, a top idle game, but there are way too many games breaking bugs. This, along with the most ads I have ever encountered (before purchasing "ad-free" for $8.99), drop it to 3/5 stars for me. You cannot play the game with the sheer number of ads. Now on to the "ad-free" purchase. For the high price of $8.99 you get to play the game normally! You can still watch ads for boosts! Yes, you read that right - you do not get the free ad boosts with the ad-free purchase, you still have to watch the ads. This was not clear on the purchasing. There is also an "ultimate bundle" for $19.99 which also advertises "No Ads". I joined the game discord and received clarification that the "ultimate bundle" ad-free is the same as the $8.99 "ad-free" purchase. The shadiness behind the purchases caused the rating to drop further to 1/5. Overall, great ideas, great potential, decent execution, extremely poor (read false advertising) purchase descriptions - 1/5. ### 1/5 — ARNAQUE *2026-07-15* Dans la description dans l’Apple Store, c’est écrit que le jeux est en français. Je télécharge et grosse surprise : LE JEU EST UNIQUEMENT EN ANGLAIS !!! Et impossible de changer la langue. ### 1/5 — Good game *2026-07-10, version 1.26.1* Deleted because of forced ads constantly ### 1/5 — Fun Until It Wiped My Game Data *2026-07-08, version 1.26.1* Been playing this for 2 weeks and loved playing this. Everything was great until July 7, 2026 when I attempted to open the game, the loading screen became stuck and I can’t play the game anymore. It really sucks because I really enjoy playing it. The game is useless now since it doesn’t work. No way to save progress either. ### 1/5 — Was fun *2026-07-01, version 1.26.1* Was having fun until they started pushing forced ads. Automatic 1 star and deleting the app ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-07-01* Game is unplayable. Ad after ad after ad after ad. Its just an endless loop of watching ads while trying to do something. The concept of the game is very fun otherwise, but god the ads makes it so bad. You can buy a pack to remove ads but its so expensive nobody in their right minds would buy it. Just dont install it. Doesnt even deserve a 0/10 more like -10/10 ### 1/5 — Ad Watching Simulator😒 *2026-06-27, version 1.26.1* I hate when a fun concept is ruined by greed ridden devs. If you’re reading this, your game is a complete joke. The amount of ads is so bad I’m actually filing a report to Apple for using the App Store as an advertising miner. Seriously shameful.🤦🏽‍♂️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-07-22, version 1.26.1* It’s a good game the competition is fun, but there are ads and all of my ads are about Atlas Earth. There’s no sort of variation. It’s almost always the same ad about Atlas Earth. Never anything different ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-07-10, version 1.26.1* Love this game ### 5/5 — Too many ads! *2026-06-24, version 1.26.1* This game is fun, but there are way too many ads! ### 5/5 — Good but… *2026-04-14, version 1.24* Good app, I like how you can pick a life path. Wish you can also pick a lover and build up a relationship with them, even if it throw texting and dating apps ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-03-16* Very enjoyable game please remove ads ### 5/5 — I am absolutely in love with this. *2026-01-24, version 1.17.3* Very realistic sim to real life bad super fun. ### 5/5 — Not Bad *2026-01-24, version 1.17.3* Less Ads than BitLife ### 5/5 — AD’S *2026-01-19* I’m giving 5 stars because I do genuinely like the game ( when I can play it ) I’m getting adverts what seems like every 5 seconds which is completely ruining the game for me. My partner on the other hand hasn’t had a signal advert? Very confusing. ### 4/5 — Just a FEW too many ads. *2026-08-23, version 1.26.1* If there were just a little less ads it’d be 5 stars for sure. Great game though. ### 4/5 — Idle *2026-08-15, version 1.26.1* Good game besides its ad ridden --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
