Getting to the point it’s unplayable ### 4/5 — Nice but repetitive *2026-08-06, version 1.13.0* Great leveling up and auto features but can kind of get repetitive. Not much exploration and quests as I’d like to have had. ### 2/5 — unplayable *2026-07-23, version 1.13.0* i was okay with it crashing from time to time and after putting a few dollars into it i cannot fathom how i used to excuse this kind of execution. i'm embarrassed to have spent money on this game and im even more embarrassed each and every hour i give this excuse for a game a chance ### 4/5 — It ok *2026-07-23, version 1.13.0* It ok ### 2/5 — Awesome but annoying *2026-07-22, version 1.12.0* Ok I love this so much but I would like report a glitch for me because whenever I join in it would randomly kick me out then it keeps crashing on so I can’t play it and it makes me feel like I want to delete it but at the same time it’s fun thank you kindove ### 3/5 — Fun game ruined by guilds *2026-07-10* I think the base content of maplestory idle RPG is addicting, but being kicked by two guilds has turned me away from the game. I logged into the game at least once daily to make sure I did all of the daily tasks, including build guild construction and help requests, but the guild leaders can still arbitrarily kick you. This is a problem for two reasons: one, guilds give you damage bonuses (without them you are too weak to beat certain missions. So being in a guild is largely not optional). And two, guilds are not free to create. So you are at the mercy of creepy players who ask you for your personal info to join the guild, only to maybe kick you the next day. The blame is fully on maplestory for making guilds so small and offering incentives to quickly recycle guild members (why take somebody who logs in every 2 days if you can get somebody who logs in every day? Or maybe 2-3 times a day). Exhausting ### 1/5 — Predatory *2026-07-08, version 1.12.0* Nexon has always been notoriously desperate to take as much money from their users as they can, and nothing is below them. The prices they charge for some of the stuff in this game is insane, and it’s practically unplayable without spending, and the longer you try the harder it becomes. Models like this should be a crime ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2026-07-07, version 1.12.0* I played this game before i don’t know why it so glitchy and keeps on getting me off the app😫please fix this😤 ### 1/5 — Useless game can’t even change region *2026-07-02, version 1.12.0* I moved from EU to Asia permanently now and can’t even change my region even after sign-out / reinstall / fm deleting account and everything fn doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Empty Calorie Nostalgia Bait Claw Machine *2026-07-01, version 1.12.0* Game is fun if you want to have a 3 week long nostalgia romp and play extremely casually. Don’t bother trying to reach anything close to the top 10% of content free to play as they keep padding out the top end of this game arbitrarily on top of adding new systems further complicating the already extremely RNG based progression. TL;DR - decently fun nostalgia bait but don’t get attached to your leaderboard number unless you’re willing to whale this game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The RNG in this game is garbage *2026-08-11, version 1.13.0* Star force decrease chance below 15 stars? Come on now how can I get multiple decreases in a row at a 10% chance.. now I get to wait like two weeks to farm more star force scrolls and be stuck at this stage for a month. ### 1/5 — 팅김 현상 해결좀 해주세요 *2026-08-04* 아이폰 13미니인데 매번 팅기는 걸 1달째 겪고있습니다 도대체 언제쯤 해결이 가능할까요 해결 좀 부탁드립니다 ### 1/5 — Support is trash *2026-08-03, version 1.13.0* Title ### 1/5 — Nexon doesn’t care about its consumer/players *2026-07-22, version 1.12.0* Don’t bother with this game. It’s full of bugs and the company is greedy as hell. FULL REFUND NOW ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-07-21, version 1.12.0* Unplayable can’t even go 5 seconds without crashing been trying all i can but I can’t recommend ### 1/5 — Why just why *2026-07-19, version 1.12.0* I can’t even play the game because I don’t have enough space ### 1/5 — AI *2026-07-18, version 1.12.0* Stop using ai loser app ### 1/5 — Too many problems *2026-07-11, version 1.12.0* Worst optimization ever. Opening any in game menu is a gamble on whether you’ll crash or not. Also melts your battery. Not to mention the billion times they “mess up” content and have to refund ppl. It’s like a monthly thing at this point. Fun to play for nostalgia, but jeez, Nexon needs to get it together. ### 1/5 — 별로 *2026-07-10* 초반전만 해봐도 보스 물리치려면 일정 컷이 필요하고, 그게 반복적인 뽑기와 성장으로 이어지는 게임인것 자체가 사실 재미가 없습니다. 너무 뻔해요. 과금 유도가 그래서 심해서 개선이 필요. ### 1/5 — 유저들 상대로 사기치는 게임입니다 *2026-07-08* 다들 잘 아시는 1차 환불 사건 이것도 유저들 상대로 사기치다가 유저들한테 검거당해서 환불하고 도게자 박은건데 또 사기치고 있네요 사람도 그렇지만 게임도 여전히 안 변합니다 하지마세요 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game, Lots of Crashes *2026-08-17* I love this game, it takes me back to the good ole days. Being an adult playing it does something for my childhood self. My only issue is that the game CONSTANTLY crashes. At this point it’s like every 5 minutes. It makes it hard when you’re trying to do a boss raid or party quest. My phone is all the way up to date and I have at least 15-20 extra GBs of storage. I’m not sure why the game crashes so much but it’s gotten to the point where I almost can’t even play the game bc it’s becoming so frequent. Love the game sososo much but it has got to be optimized a little more if possible! Tysm 🖤🖤🖤 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-30, version 1.13.0* I missed this game so much, as it occupied a great portion of my teen years. Picked it up while waiting to see if I get into the MapleStory Classic closed beta, and it definitely scratches the itch a bit. Can’t wait to keep leveling! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-07-26, version 1.13.0* Great broa fun ### 5/5 — Great throw back game *2026-07-25, version 1.13.0* Very nostalgic game i played since i was 7 until my account was hacked i hope in the future for this mobile game you can have more than one character like the pc game ### 5/5 — 5 star level Game *2026-07-22, version 1.13.0* I’ve seen a lot of idle games but none like this, This game helps me relax and it’s just super addicting I would say this game is underrated ### 5/5 — 계속 서버오류…. *2026-07-22* 계속 서버 오류라면서 처음부터 안 들어가 집니다 어떡하죠?? 원래 처음엔 이런건가요? 메키 많이 하시는 유저들이 좀 알려주세요 ㅠㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Jogo legal *2026-07-17* Jogo está legal de jogar ### 5/5 — Really fun *2026-07-04* The game is so fun but can you please add friends? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-01, version 1.11.0* So easy to get lost in ### 5/5 — 확률조작겜 환불 왜 안해줌? *2026-06-30* 예전 어빌 확률조작때도 환불신청 여러번 해도 3천중 만오천원밖에 환불 안시켜준 게임ㅋㅋㅋ 이번에 또 확률조작있고 어이가없는 게임이네 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
