### 2/5 — Long & broken ads!!!

*2026-08-24, version 3.2.0*

The game is ok but the ads can be 3 minutes long and are frequently broken and you don’t get the benefit.

### 3/5 — Forgottenapp

*2026-08-11, version 3.2.0*

Seems to be no new update and can’t use magical pets at all now

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-07-29, version 3.2.0*

I like the game. Very addictive. But I have now lost all access to my magical creatures. I have looked for a way to report the issue but there isn’t anyway to do so.

### 3/5 — Fun while it lasted

*2026-07-18, version 3.2.0*

Have been playing this for several months and it’s a fun little idle game (provided you buy the no ads option). However, in the last few days the game has become fundamentally broken. I am slowly losing access to more and more features of the game. At the rate it is going there won’t be anything left to play in a few days.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-06-21, version 3.1.9*

Even though i was originally playing this game for money its actually kinda fun

### 3/5 — Was Loving It

*2026-06-12, version 3.1.9*

I’ve been playing this constantly for the last two weeks and up until I got to the winter castle I was having such a blast, but now progression has stagnated and it feels impossible to make enough to do anything. Would also love the option to use magic stones instead of watching ads for all the various reasons which would give me more of a reason to purchase them

### 3/5 — Fun but glitched

*2026-05-25, version 3.1.9*

It’s a fun game, but the pets are broken. I’ve completed the events and maxed out the pets, but one day when I opened it I suddenly couldn’t look at the pets anymore and keep getting more pet puzzle pieces

### 4/5 — Game is broken

*2026-05-11, version 3.1.9*

I was having fun with this but the game has been really buggy and broken for like a week with no updates or communication. Can’t access the wizard tower, my magic lets, a lot of the upgrade hooks are broken. Couldn’t find a place to submit a help request or bug report either. Wild!

### 4/5 — Hard to upgrade the professors

*2026-04-30, version 3.1.9*

Hard to upgrade the professors because I find it very hard to get magic stone for free

### 2/5 — 途中までは良かった

*2026-04-22*

著作権など気になる点はありましたが、基本的には楽しんでプレイできてました。後半になると特定のキャラクターの表示がバグりレベルアップ等が出来ず、ダンジョンに関しても同様バグが出てしまい思う様に進行できなくなりました。

アプリの再インストールをしても効果はなく…。修正にどの程度の時間を要するかですが、残念です。

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。一部キャラクターの表示やレベルアップ、ダンジョン進行に関する不具合は確認しており、今後のアップデートで修正予定です。貴重なご報告ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-14, version 3.1.9*

I love this game because it is similar to Harry Potter

### 3/5 — Had for a few years but stalled in areas….

*2026-04-04, version 3.1.9*

Really enjoy this game, lovely and relaxing. I do play every event however the new world on the main map has been “coming soon” for over a year. Also where the magical creatures additional features were good now they’re bugged as they are now constantly locked so you cannot upgrade your creatures with all of the shards you have collected over several events. Also the events are the same two repeated over and over again. It is a great game but please, please a new world and some variety with the events please???

### 3/5 — New update sucks

*2026-04-04, version 3.1.9*

This latest update has been AWFUL! The magic creatures got locked after I paid for the VIP pass and I haven’t been able to access them again. There’s also a ton of glitches on the Elite Students page. I’ve played this game for years and I’ve loved it so that’s what the 2 extra stars are for. But the magic creatures section being locked is worth a 1 star review.

### 5/5 — Жду обновление месяц уже

*2026-04-04*

Игра классная играю пол года все открыл уже жду следующую школу темную !!!

### 4/5 — Игра Крутая НО

*2026-03-24*

Но разработчики где обновления ?? Такая халатность ..

### 4/5 — 킬링타임용 게임

*2026-03-18*

그냥저냥 할만함. 
그나저나 Potion store가 마약가게로 번역이 되어있는데 마약이 drug라는걸 아는지 의문이다.
단체로 약하는 학생들..ㅋㅋㅋ

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2026-03-14*

個人的にハリポタ全然知らないので、パクリとかオマージュとかはわかりませんw
広告ゲーだけどのんびりぼちぼちやれるから結構楽しいですよ。
ウィンターフェルは苦行です。キ畜額要求されます。
空の島、仲間の魔法使いも増えたしドラゴン可愛くて楽しいです。

追記
アズカバンはよ！！！

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-29, version 3.1.9*

Games broken. Read the reviews, no updates in years. Get to castle 4 and the game stops functioning. Dev says same basic ai answer to every review. Deleting game

### 1/5 — Used Ai to develop

*2026-05-19, version 3.1.9*

Used Ai to develop, deleting the game.

### 1/5 — WAS Fun

*2026-04-11, version 3.1.9*

Used to be good. Now I’m maxed out on everything, can’t advance and now multiple glitches are arising. The most frustrating thing is that the last level has been “Coming Soon” for multiple years. 
At this point, don’t start as the developers have obviously given up. Would be nice if they finished their project.

### 1/5 — Башня не работает!

*2026-03-01*

Даже после обновления приложения! Мой ник Houvort и я на 1 месте. Я получаю награду за 1 место. Но в самой башне не могу ничего сделать и аватар и ник отображаются стандартные!!!!

**Developer response:** We suffered a glitch but it is now fixed. Be sure to update to the latest version and re-login. Let our customer support team know on Facebook if you continue to face problems.

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2026-02-27, version 3.1.9*

It’s been actual years and you still haven’t added the 5th school … ?

### 1/5 — Magical Creatures no longer available since last update.

*2026-02-25, version 3.1.9*

In the last update they removed your access to the creatures. Now they want you to pay to have access. I have played this game for years, and had maxed out my magical creatures. Spent time, money, and gold in the game. Now it’s all wasted cause it’s behind a pay wall. This is ridiculous, if they had wanted to do something like this they could have just created to magically beasts and made people pay to use the new ones. Instead they ripped us all off.

### 1/5 — Complete Copy of Idle Superpower School

*2026-02-09, version 3.1.9*

The layout is exactly the same. The only difference is the theme and it being maybe a little more fast paced for the 1st level/branch. I mean, come on, at least change up the layout and add some changes to make it feel like a new fun experience, something different.

### 1/5 — 著作権大丈夫？

*2026-02-03*

1週間ほど触った感想。
･「マグル」とか呪文名とかもろハリ〇タと同じ。授業名も同じものある。同作オリジナルであろう名称も多く、訴えられないのか気になる。
･広告、バツマークで閉じれずサイト遷移するものが多すぎる。
･広告視聴で報酬増やさないと強化できなくなる段階に達するのが比較的早い。
･放置前提ゲームだと思うが、課金なしでは強化して最大3時間しか放置不可。長時間放置するには理事を雇う（課金）必要あり。
･広告を閉じるのに何度もサイト遷移&こまめにアプリ開いて放置報酬受け取る必要があることを我慢すれば無課金でもある程度遊べる。

**Developer response:** Hello, we are trying to know more from our players to make us improve. Please be patient and believe that we will give you a better experience.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2026-01-21, version 3.1.7*

After waiting years for an update that would include the new level they promised us, this update is all about making them more money!  Fix the game first!  Many times I purchase things with magic stones or the currency and never get the items or it glitches and it doesn’t remember I had already bought it!  Are your developers the same ones that worked on Skyrim?  Cmon fix this game because it is a great game if…

### 1/5 — Shadow isles - coming soon… years ago!

*2026-01-21, version 3.1.7*

CAN’T COLLECT REWARDS!!!!
Update on that. The pink boxes suddenly have a price on them. DELETE 

Whoo, update! Oh it still doesn’t have shadow isles. 
All the new features with the update seem ok HOWEVER, I can’t claim the rewards from the ‘Magic Chess’ addition. Lv 3 & 6 are pink and nothing happens when I try to claim rewards. 
Fix your app, at least test it before publishing it 

This app would be 5/5 if it weren’t for waiting for shadow isles and only 2 repetitive timed side schools. 
Shadow Isles has been ‘coming soon’ for years now. 

To the app developer! When is it going to be released??? And don’t say stay tuned

Like new updates keep them coming. Relaxing game nothing stressing. Enjoy

### 5/5 — Fun but repetitive

*2026-07-18, version 3.2.0*

This is a fun idle game! No forced ads! I am wondering if the cycle of mini games will ever add more variety? Or if the next main level will ever be released?

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME

*2026-07-02, version 3.2.0*

i literally never leave reviews on apps but i’ve become obsessed with this game. currently waiting on shadow isles to drop since i’m done with the first four maps. 

no bugs at all! literally amazing
