But could use a little work! *2026-08-25, version 4.2.1* This game is super fun! I just got this and I have been playing it a lot though I wish that you could have a character to move around to run the supermarket instead of just waiting for money and it makes me laugh that my bread is 11,438 dollars haha! Anyway I love this and that is for reading my review 😛🍞🥖 ### 4/5 — fell off *2026-08-21, version 4.2.1* used to be one of my favourite games now you can’t even buy a new store or build new departments. i’m stuck with 2 departments and that’s it. won’t let me build anything or move so i guess that’s the whole game now. also there’s no more parking lot or food trucks to collect money from? ### 3/5 — What the heck *2026-08-20, version 4.2.1* Bro this game is so good, I had three sections done and all were fully upgraded, had so many other things I worked HARD for in this game.. went to bed and opened the app to see NOTHING HAD SAVED… are we taking the piss? Ruined it. This game is so entertaining, just make sure it saves your work people😭🙏🏼 ### 3/5 — Where is the laboratory update? *2026-08-19, version 4.2.1* Wondering where this new update is that was posted as I do not see any new objects in my game ### 4/5 — Glitches for event *2026-08-18, version 4.2.1* The current token event that is happening keeps glitching. I am getting awarded dice for completing tasks, but it won’t give them to me. It now also won’t let me collect my earnings from completing the events. Everything else is okay on the normal gameplay, but this is what’s bothering me the most ### 3/5 — Bad changes *2026-08-17, version 4.2.1* Re-download it this again after a long time and was appalled at how much more of an eyesore it is. There's way too much detail in the 3-D models and the interfacing for stats and inventory and the like is so much more cluttered and confusing. Everything is just a pain to try and parse out. Very disappointed, because this was a great time-waster! Unfortunately seems like they've gone the path of so many other games with overdoing it until their simple game becomes more work than fun. ### 2/5 — End game bottleneck *2026-08-16, version 4.2.1* I’m in the endgame and I’m getting misleading information, I have the golden manager, every department pretty much maxed out with level 30+ managers and the income I’m actually getting is less than what I should be getting I’ve paid for multiple multipliers with real money. And yet the actual income remains disturbingly low. It says I’m getting 4-5Q with those random money ads but I’m only getting 4-5 q (Quintillion vs quadrillion) Reason I say bottleneck is your either stuck waiting ages just for a little bit of income due the prices shooting up exponentially with very little returns or your forced to pay for multipliers to still get practically nothing. Please fix this endgame bs, I already spent $100 and I don’t wanna spend more ### 2/5 — Pay to play *2026-08-16, version 4.2.1* Literally the only way to progress after a certain point is to spend money on gems to purchase managers. Game used to be fun and free but they’ve since ruined it ### 3/5 — Glitch *2026-08-14, version 4.2.1* Must be a bug or glitch or something. I keep losing dice or it’s not giving it to me. So I have to clear out of app, go back in and my dice that I should have gotten is gone. Ugh! ### 2/5 — Managers?? No way to reset?? *2026-08-10, version 4.1.6* I’ve redownload This game again after it’s been awhile. However it left me where I was where my shops are level 800-1000 that are requiring level 6 managers that’s a brand new mechanic to the game for me. How am I supposed to do anything with this game if I can’t even level anything. How am I supposed to get to the next map and have hopes of being able to continue?? Stop requiring certain levels for managers or give me more than five free packs that’ll help me at least try to enjoy the game again. Something I’ve paid no ads for and I really enjoyed playing. Make a way for me to reset!!!! I just wanna start at the beginning and enjoy all the mechanics. ### 3/5 — Tuff *2026-08-04, version 4.1.6* Tuff ### 1/5 — Not WiFi free game *2026-08-02, version 4.1.6* I couldn’t even get in the game. I had no internet, but Apple Store said it was WiFi free game ### 3/5 — Not for me *2026-07-30, version 4.1.6* The gameplay is quite interesting, but the implementation is terrible. I don't like that after pumping one supermarket, the game tells me, "Good job, bro. Quit your successful business and move to a new supermarket with zero progress." Earning 50k per minute is a scam, I figured I'd only get 14k in one minute. The game is suitable for those who have a lot of free time, patience or money ### 1/5 — Got stuck *2026-07-30, version 4.1.6* I bought the parking and then got off instantly, and now I need to buy it again for 3,500 I only have like 200 dollars. This is at the second place once you start ### 1/5 — Good game but super buggy *2026-07-30, version 4.1.6* Really enjoying this game and its premise, however the challenges are full of bugs making it frustrating to play. ### 3/5 — Add more maps *2026-07-29, version 4.1.6* I think I rated this before, maybe 5 stars, but I’ve “finished” the game a while ago and have been waiting for new market map locations but it’s never added. I think it said more coming soon or something, if it did, how soon is soon because it’s been over a year or 2. So I made it 3 stars now for the lack of map adding. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only 5 minutes of gameplay *2026-08-22, version 4.2.1* Literally only 5 minutes worth of gameplay before you’re shown a message that says no more available quests. ### 1/5 — Used to love this game *2026-08-22, version 4.2.1* This game used to be my favourite mobile game, before the updates it was amazing and simple I had even got to the last supermarket, I had checked time and time again for updates but nothing so I’ve left the game for a while and what I’ve come back to is a micro transaction nightmare with the inability to progress through the game because managers exist, gone are the days of the nice sleek gameplay where you could upgrade without having to go through a loophole of managers, it’s just an extra way to squeeze more money out of the player, pure slop, your core values you had are gone and you should be ashamed. ### 1/5 — Stupid scam *2026-08-16, version 4.2.1* Bought the vip thing, and my money went down over half, so now after all the upgrades I’ll be back to were I was before I spent the 50$ 👎 ### 1/5 — Game progression is a complete scam, purchase to progress. *2026-08-13, version 4.2.1* If I don’t make a purchase, I can’t progress. Even if I do make a purchase, the progress is becomes very slow, and I have to spend even more to keep progressing. ### 1/5 — Updated Game *2026-08-13, version 4.2.1* They nerfed my favourite game. Ridiculous. It was fun, now it’s a cash grab. Can’t have anything good in this dystopian godforsaken world. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-13, version 4.2.1* The manager update means progression is borderline impossible without paying real money. I also discovered this morning that my pay per minute went from ~150q/min to ~150T/min so they’ve actually reduced my minutely pay overnight! It’s now impossible to afford anything in game ### 1/5 — one of those games that freezes on ads *2026-08-10, version 4.1.6* It takes you to an ad page with no exit button. so tired of these cheap games being cash grabs. ### 1/5 — App freezes and won’t open *2026-08-07, version 4.1.6* Game won’t load whenever I try to open the app. I’ve emailed the developers three times and no one has replied to me to fix this ### 1/5 — Why *2026-08-06, version 4.1.6* Why do all the idle games force us to go to a different location and start all over or they make us prestige? Why can’t I just expand my supermarket instead of going to a new spot that forces me to wait even longer to play? Speaking of forcing things why is it that you people force us to go through a tutorial that a baby can get through. I’d understand if I just got a phone with games on it but I didn’t and neither did 99.99% of your demographic. Like good lord when will it stop? Idle games have been around for years now and it’s either buy the game or deal with ads that try to force you to pay, deal with forced prestige that doesn’t even help us keep from being bored, etc. stop. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET ANY OF THESE GAMES-Nothing but ads now *2026-08-06, version 4.1.6* I used to play this all the time until my game crashed two years ago and I couldn’t play it anymore. I got it again recently since my boyfriend brought up that he was playing it. The amount of different offers, ads, bs things they throw in your face everyday when you try to play it is ridiculous. I used to love this game which is why I tried it again but it is seriously impossible to get anywhere without watching an ad. Don’t waste your time on any of these games. THEY ARE ALL BAD AND RIDDLED WITH ADS AND OFFERS TO FRY AND MAKE YOU PAY MONEY ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idle Supermarket Tycoon shop review *2026-08-31, version 4.2.1* This game is honestly the best game , I would say 6th or 4th place .
