The complexity leads to a lot of questions, particularly if you aren’t familiar with idle progression games. Thankfully, there’s quite a few resources to help the player along with that. My one issue with this game is actually not related to the game at all. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. May I ask what kind of issue are you having with the game? ### 5/5 — Good job *2026-02-18, version 1.1.2* Pretty good game brother ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-02-08* Good idle and progression **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. ### 5/5 — pay to win game *2026-02-05* I see this game has good potential and is pretty fun, There’s just one issue with me and it’s that the game is pretty pay to win, playing feels almost painful since I know someone could spend a couple bucks and just dwarf my progress **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. The game is beatable without paying anything as well but it just takes longer. ### 5/5 — Game *2026-02-02, version 1.1.2* I love the game so much fun ### 5/5 — Idle 2d *2026-01-30* Супер - классика жанра! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. ### 5/5 — 12 stars easy *2026-01-28* This game is legit af, so good I paid 20 bucks to support the devs. Thanks for making a great game! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-01-27* I enjoy it while it’s in the background or while I’m doing other things. The auto move button is nice but I wish there was a way for it to collect herbs **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. There is Wand of the Druid -shop purchase (costs 175 mana gems) which allows auto gathering herbs also. ### 5/5 — language *2026-01-27* I think this game is great, but the English is a bit difficult for me. When will there be a Chinese language option? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. I am working to add more translations, but it takes time. edit: Newest update added Chinese. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2026-01-27* Pretty decent progress, pretty decent offline time. Scratches the progression itch and doesn’t have 500 extra events and things to constantly do or flooding your screen. Fun game, will keep playing! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. ### 5/5 — Honest review *2026-01-25* I enjoy the game quite a lot but there’s a few things I have a problem with, at a certain point it’s very hard to get permanent upgrade and perk upgrades do very little as well as fishing should not cost so much to get as a perk. If you’re going to make it a mechanic in the game what sense does it make to have it be super late game **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. Next update makes fishing unlock a bit cheaper. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Black screen *2026-07-07* I got hit with a black screen on apple and theres no way to clear the cache data on it so its just a permanent black screen that i cant fix game is unplayable now and i really enjoyed it update i fixed the game but its now happened a second time and i cant fix it this time **Developer response:** Please try closing all background apps or restart the phone. May I also please ask you to email ruotogames@hotmail.com for further assistance. ### 1/5 — Copy of gold mountain *2026-07-04, version 1.3.102* Bad copy of gold mountain. Don’t support this fake developer. ### 2/5 — Mid idle game that wants your data. *2026-04-18* Asks you to turn on cross-app tracking before letting you ad farm anything. I say hell no. Not in the year of our lord 2026, and certainly not for a pixel game which mostly auto plays itself. Wouldn’t be surprised if this app is mining bitcoin in the background or something. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The app uses Google ADs and it asks tracking permission only on game start so it can load the AD ready. ### 3/5 — Needs sound effects and separate music and sfx options *2026-08-28* Please add seperate buttons for to disable solely music and keep sound effects and PLEASE add sound effects like ui, and hitting materials making a noise. It would make the game a lot more satisfying. Its honestly making the game very unsatisfying having no sound effects either because the music overpowers it or there just isnt any ### 3/5 — Remaking this review because my original review didn't get posted for some reason *2026-06-25* The game is all right, but it is very grinding and time-consuming. Everything cost way too much to craft to level to really anything. The game is not really much of an idol game at all until less your in late game, which will practically take you like months to even get there realistically unless you spend money to up the idle time because it starts at like one hour and then not to mention even when you do get idle time, it's pretty useless you don't really get pet xp you don't get player XP at all or materials or anything outside of the base resources which really isn't the best and if you want to be able to craft gear at like level 30 and up, you gotta play for two+ hours just to get the resources to craft like 10 items for them to all be common or blue Which is awful leveling in itself is extremely slow so you could sit there for 15 hours and you'll probably maybe hit 30 and that's me being nice because it really all depends on your character your skills that you've invest into and everything not to mention, the developer says that you shouldn't hit any walls but you will. I have to sit there for like three days just to get up to 450 million prestige points and that's because I don't feel like playing every waking hour of every single day on top of that the armor that's supposed to give you a big boot doesn't do anything considering as I mentioned nine times out of 10 it's gonna be a rare or a common, which is useless and it's not gonna do anything for you so you will hit walls in this game like I've prioritized resources and damage upgrades and my overall equipment and I'm still hitting walls i've been trying to unlock the dormant mind for the past week and even with the 2X pill that gives me six times my damage the two different things of universal damage that I bought and everything and using all the damaged bonus skills. I still can't even beat the guy guarding it and when I'm using the damage boost, I have like 230 million damage multiply that by six now and I still can't do it and despite everything I've said I do like the game, but I'm not gonna lie it is very grinding and everybody that's going to play. This needs to know before they get into it so that they know what they're getting into. Because you will spend a lot of time and I do mean a lot of time playing it to make progress. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback and for giving the game a fair chance. I appreciate you pointing out where the progression felt too slow and where you ran into walls. My goal is for the game to have long-term progression without feeling frustrating, so feedback like this is very valuable. I'll continue working on balancing the progression and improving the overall experience. Thanks again for playing! ### 3/5 — Interesting Idle/Click to Play *2026-02-20* I am generally enjoying this game. I wish there was some way to make the text larger - I’m colorblind so dark text on a dark background is hard in the first place but then having it be tiny too? I’m sure I’m missing a lot of information. But I do like the lack of forced ads and will probably be purchasing some chest bundles moving forward. Would recommend for an easy time sink a few minutes at a time. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and letting me know about this issue. I will check out if I can find a larger font that fits the UI elements nicely. ### 3/5 — The game is fun for a little while *2026-01-13* A personal thing is there should be a separate way to move like a joystick option rather than just tapping, the upgrades to sprint to specific resources should apply to idle farming as well since it takes 20k to get at the start got it and was like dang I wasted resources, make the resource scrap chance higher at the start maybe 15-20% since it takes a lot of crafting to level up the skill. I can’t really tell what requirements are needed to get more respec points the purple gems as they aren’t specified cause I could get 100k and not be able to respec sometimes and other times I can. A lot of reworked mechanics and explanations are needed for this game to succeed for now I think I’ve seen enough of it and don’t really feel like I’m progressing a lot unless I spend money now and I’ve only played for a few days. **Developer response:** Hey. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. I'm working hard to get the game more balanced. Joystick control is coming later. Every skill (Universal damage etc) purchased increases Prestige Point gains. The game is fully playable without purchasing bundles. The main boost to progression comes from crafting new equipments. ### 4/5 — Fun but jumps right in *2026-07-14, version 1.3.102* Game fun so far but there’s a lot going on all at once lol ### 4/5 — This *2026-05-17, version 1.2.405* R a gud game ### 4/5 — Fun, but monetized into oblivion *2026-02-15* Progress moves at a snails pace. There are a bazillion things that all combine to aid in your progress, which is pretty cool, except when you realize to get anywhere in the game after you hit “the wall” it’s going to take playing the game non stop for weeks or months. There is a load of things to spend currency on, almost all of which costs way too many gems. You can’t get many for free, and you don’t even get very many if you buy them, leaving you feel “what’s the point?” Strong start, until gameplay hits the wall. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) I am doing my best to get game balanced out. There shouldn't be any "walls". Crafting new equipments regularly should keep the progress smooth quite far. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Well, not bad. *2026-08-12* Kind of confusing to figure out all the different upgrades/buttons they’re immediately available. The progression (ie. islands and zones) is also a little scattered, but overall a very well made and fun game to kill time on. :) **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback :) I understand the progression feels a bit scattered, working hard to balance this out. ### 5/5 — Definitely the Best I played in years *2026-07-22* I go through a lot of garbage on the App Store. Some games look ok, and some look like a dumpster fire. But this one has exceeded my expectations. It’s extremely grindy, but in a way that feels like you are actually progressing. I’ve only been playing for 3 days, and I am hooked. Thank you devs for making this. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Happy to hear you like the game :) ### 5/5 — Top *2026-06-24* Top o jogo, no começo meio confuso mas depois que entende é resenha **Developer response:** Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-18* Add some character customization for more personalization **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and for your feedback. Latest update 1.3 added option to choose between male or female characters. I will be adding more ways to customise characters in the future. ### 5/5 — Pretty neat game *2026-05-31, version 1.2.405* Have been enjoying the game a good bit. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-01* Love this game it’s great to play here and there throughout my day. Looking forward to updates and added content. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2. ### 5/5 — Vou Dar Uma Chance *2026-04-02* Vou testar e ver se é bom depois venho aqui e digo **Developer response:** Thank you for your review :) ### 5/5 — Decent game with a fatal flaw (for me) *2026-04-01* I played this game pretty extensively over about a week. While I enjoyed my time, I didn’t realize that I had made a mistake at the beginning of the game that would make progression extremely slow. When you install, the game will ask to track if you have the setting enabled. If you have tracking off, it won’t even ask. Later in the game, there are dps checks you hit that will stop your progress dead for days. No matter how much you reset and reset, the tiny upgrades do nothing to move you towards the next stage. Oh but hey, there are convenient ad chests which will boost your power immensely. Which you can’t view, unless tracking is enabled. And you can’t enable tracking without losing all your data because the game only asks on first startup and iPhone only allows manual enabling of tracking on games that have already asked. I lost all progress when reinstalling to enable tracking. It’s a fun game but im regretfully dropping it due to this. Edit: developer response has proven that I am an idiot who simply made a big mistake. I will be leaving this review up as a warning to others and amending my score **Developer response:** Hey. Thanks for pointing out this issue. I will get this fixed asap. Did you use cloud save or clipboard save export before reinstalling? If so, you can still retrieve your save. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-03-22, version 1.2.303* Fun game with lots to do and the weekend events are fun to do ### 5/5 — Grand *2026-03-11* I can already see how this can get boring but compared to most games nowadays this one doesn’t bs you on the ads and it’s actually designed very well, give it a chance **Developer response:** Thank you for your review :) Happy to hear you like Idle Pocket Crafter 2 and find it well designed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
