I wish the developers would slow the game to close and open back where you left off at. If you answer a call or text while playing, you’ll start all over ### 2/5 — Adds *2026-03-24, version 1.14.9* Too much adds ### 3/5 — Jury is out *2026-03-14, version 1.14.9* Love the game but keeps crashing all the time ### 4/5 — Needs an update too many glitches *2026-01-23, version 1.14.9* I love this game but it just needs to be updated to fix more of the glitches ### 3/5 — Crashes to much *2025-12-26, version 1.14.9* I love the game and keep playing it but it crashes almost every time I’m at the end of mining. So frustrating!!!! Please fix this. I kill the app and still, I delete it and download again and it still happens. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — If you wanna put ads let the game handle them properly *2025-12-24, version 1.14.9* Ok, to start off, I really love your game and you should advertise it. Anyways speaking of ads, you decided to put them in your game. I’m fine with that but more times than not after I complete the ad or try to skip it the game just freezes up and I’m patient so I wait for it to unfreeze but instead of doing that it just crashes. Once again, your game is very fun and addictive, but desperately needs refining. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Freezing every other game *2025-12-03, version 1.14.9* Good game but freezing every other game ### 1/5 — Good game but glitches make it unplayable *2025-11-16, version 1.14.9* Always crashing and freezing ### 2/5 — Fix errors please *2025-11-09, version 1.14.9* The game keeps on freezing.
