### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-12-14*

Please add more cities so we can continue to play.

**Developer response:** Hello 7777777777765439!
Thank you for taking the time to let others know how much you're enjoying Idle Sports Tycoon! We add new levels and stages frequently, so make sure to check in for those as well as our weekly events. 
Any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out at sports.idle@kanoapps.com

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-08-21*

Love the game but would love visual upgrades after each renovation level!

**Developer response:** Stiffer, thanks for your kind words! We're really happy you are enjoying Idle Sports Tycoon so far and you are loving it! Thanks for the 5-star rating of our casual mobile idle game.

Right now when the Stadiums are upgraded or renovated, they usually level up (grow bigger, earn you more currency and also can support more Fans/Customers). We'll pass your suggestion along to our creative team and animation team for consideration! 

E-mail us at support@kanoapps.com and let us know what else you'd like to see!

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2025-01-16*

The game itself is good, easy to follow and understand but there are some areas that I believe need some work. I believe the incentives for watching an add should be greater than they are. And somethings just take so long to get and accumulate enough of that after a while you start to lose interest in the game. An example of that would be the tickets it takes to upgrade characters and stadiums, it takes way too long to accrue them

**Developer response:** Hi Welder1015!
Thank you so much for taking the time to try out Idle Sports Tycoon and for clarifying on your rating. 
I will let the team know about your concern regarding the bonus on Ads and the length/effort it takes to upgrade various characters and stadiums. We'd love to be able to improve upon your 2 star rating, please reach out to us at sports.idle@kanoapps.com
We hope to hear from you soon!

### 5/5 — This is a lot of fun!

### 3/5 — Events

*2024-01-02*

Haven’t been getting my rewards from the events

**Developer response:** Hey Vcrash, so sorry you missed out on some rewards -- I'd love to bonus you what you missed out on and make up for this.  Can you send us a ticket to Support@kanoapps.com with your player ID so I can find your game to add what you need? Thank you for leaving a review and we hope you will let us make up for this!

### 3/5 — Good game but…

*2023-09-13*

This game is simple, enjoyable and a good idle game to play but I think it needs some improvements in some areas. The biggest for me is “getting customers for your stadiums”. This is the basic feature that involves spending your currency directly on the stadium to increase its base value ie, going from 1000 customers to 1050 and so on. There needs to be a way to know what your next multiplier rate will be before upgrading. Sometimes upgrading gives you a 2x bonus, other times it gives you a 5x, 10x, 50x multiplier and I’ve even seen up to 500x. It all seems completely random and inconsistent between stadiums. So not knowing before hand what that value is going to be is annoying. In the timed events, where it’s harder to earn the currency it sometimes takes a while to get enough money to upgrade to the next level. But when deciding between two stadiums - you spend money on stadium A, that only gives you a 2x bonus, and then later you spend it on stadium to B, to find out that was a 50x bonus, I would have preferred to spend the money on stadium B first to make things easier. But because the game doesn’t tell you what the next bonus is, it gets frustrating wasting hours worth of saving to find out you picked the wrong one.

Some of the other small things I think need improvement are being able to skip the small cut scene when you purchase permanent upgrades to stadiums. Watching the game go through every stadium to tell me “Permanently 2x” and not being able to skip is just an annoying waste of time. Especially when I don’t have some of the stadiums unlocked.

Finally, the cards in the regular mode should be have filter options to show unlocked/locked, or be able to sort them somehow. The first cards you unlock are at the bottom of a list of 100 cards and for the first few “weeks” of upgrading, I didn’t know where to find them because I just assumed the unlocked cards were at the top. And then having to scroll to the bottom every time I upgrade now is beyond ridiculous.m, especially since the other 90 cards I’m scrolling past, aren’t unlocked.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for playing and sharing all this excellent feedback with us. Our team loves to hear from players like this and we'll be discussing the points you've raised. You can also contact us directly in support at anytime to share more feedback with us or if any concerns come up. We hope we'll get a chance to chat with you soon - sports.idle@kanoapps.com

### 2/5 — Ads

*2023-05-15*

Game is cool and addictive but the long ads ruin it

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear about these overly-long ads, Gunjahsmoke! Please contact our support team with a description of the ads so that we can investigate and report them to our ad network. With your help we can improve the Sports Playoff experience for everyone! Once we do, we hope you'll update your review. You can reach us at: sports.idle@kanoapps.com

### 1/5 — Sound on ads even when phone is on silent.

*2023-04-02*

Something I can not get past is the fact that when I have my phone on silent some of the ads still play sound. If my phone is on silent with the volume still turned up then the ads should honour that and not force me to turn my volume down. The game is good but not good enough to play it due to the above especially when it is very ad heavy.

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear about these bothersome ads, Guss83! We would love to help you with this issue and improve both your experience and your rating of Sports Playoff Idle Tycoon. Please reach out to us at sports.idle@kanoapps.com so we can address your concerns. Thanks for being a part of the team!

### 2/5 — Fun Game, but…

*2023-03-25*

It’s a fun game, but there are way too many ads, and they’re way too long.  It’s really shady how the upgrades work.  Like I said it’s fun, but really frustrating and not worth the time to play it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review, and spending some time with the game, Whim - We want to hear more from you (if you care to elaborate) - Feel free to reach out directly via e-mail at support@kanoapps.com and let us know what you'd like to see differently in the game. We're always open to player feedback to help improve your experience!

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2023-03-10*

There was an error sent and the game closed. Then all of the global rankings for the event vanished.

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear about this error you've encountered! Please contact our support team at sports.idle@kanoapps.com so we can fix things up for you. Once everything is working again, we hope you'll consider updating your review.
