No clear explanation why I can’t. ### 2/5 — Definitely Not Plauge *2026-08-23, version 1.4.2* This is a wanna be knockoff of Plauge which I have played for many years. There are extremely too many ads and it just doesn’t have the depth of Plauge. It honestly looks like a poor copy and I got fed up with the the length and number of ads both forced and for rewards. I’ll go back to my $1.99 version of Plauge with NO ADS! ### 2/5 — To Many Ads *2026-08-18, version 1.4.2* It would be decent if you could preform more than two actions without getting an ad immediately after ### 4/5 — Cool *2026-08-08, version 1.4.2* It cool and fun little game I like how you can name your virus ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-04, version 1.4.2* I’m getting ads less than a minute apart consistently. First starting the game off was fine but after around 30 minutes of game time I was getting bombarded with ads making the game nearly unplayable ### 1/5 — This game is a copy of plague ink *2026-08-01, version 1.4.2* Play gang is affect the same game with no ads well base gameplay again is playing do have purchasable DLC but base gameplay is 99p instead of free but it has no ads and almost everything in the games are lockable nothing except for DLC’s and ones specific gene need micro transactions ### 1/5 — Direct rip from PlagueInc. But with ads. *2026-07-25, version 1.4.2* Why play this ad filled game when you can play one without? ### 1/5 — Рекламная помойка *2026-07-13* Такое ощущение что реклама раз в минуту. Или от кол-ва тапов по экрану. Только и знаешь, что смотришь не на игру, а как разрабы деньги зарабатывают. Планку опустите, засранцы ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-07-13* Jeu blindé de publicité, avance très lentement et fait vraiment passer énormément du temps sans pouvoir faire quoique ce soit ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage App. Get Plague Inc. *2026-08-31, version 1.4.2* This game is littered with ads. Save yourself some time and get Plague Inc. instead. ### 1/5 — Fix your sound *2026-08-30, version 1.4.2* It's impossible to play the game while listening to music, completely unacceptable. Every other game I've ever played allows you to do this. ### 1/5 — Fun for a short while…until *2026-08-22, version 1.4.2* This game was fun at first, but once you level up a bit, you either have to pay to progress or wait days to move forward. At that point it just becomes a waste of time. I even paid to remove the ads, so that wasn’t the issue, and I spent extra on boosters too. Eventually I hit a wall where I spent about three days dropping from infecting 60% of the population down to 48%. That was it for me — I deleted the game. I’ll spend my money elsewhere. If you want it to sound more blunt, more polished, or more annoyed, I can tune it however you like. ### 1/5 — Literally Half Ads *2026-08-22, version 1.4.2* Fun concept but literally watching an ad for half the game after playing an hour or so. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Horrible time wasting game. *2026-08-19, version 1.4.2* Incredible how the only real way to earn points to progress the game is through watching ads. Yet the forced ads that pop-up every 15 seconds dont quite count towards watching an ad. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — All ads *2026-08-15, version 1.4.2* There’s an ad literally every 30 seconds it’s crazy. Makes a good game unplayable ### 1/5 — Remove the ads *2026-08-13, version 1.4.2* Remove the adds to upgrade things. Especially if you’ve paid to remove the ads! Ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-09, version 1.4.2* They took a fun game and realized they could make more money with adds and purchases. Go back and play the free version ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads… *2026-08-09, version 1.4.2* At first the game doesn’t seem to have much ads but later on ads pop up every single minute.. also to much of a grinding game ### 1/5 — way worse than plague inc *2026-08-05, version 1.4.2* the ad claimed that it was better than plague inc, oh boy it was wrong: to many ads, and you just click buttons, it’s too slow progressing and there was bad responsivity ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-30, version 1.4.2* Overall a great game and it’s free ### 5/5 — Cool game *2026-08-26, version 1.4.2* Pretty peak ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-21, version 1.4.2* Everyone saying has so much ads but it doesn’t ### 5/5 — My plague *2026-08-19, version 1.4.2* It’s really fun and I like infecting the world with something that came out of my mind ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-16, version 1.4.2* Good ### 5/5 — Y uh *2026-08-05, version 1.4.2* It was an absolute beautiful game ### 5/5 — Placement tezt *2026-08-04, version 1.4.2* Super fun all about speed and transition ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-04, version 1.4.2* Best virus game ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-03, version 1.4.2* The game has no ads and it’s very fun ### 5/5 — W game *2026-08-02, version 1.4.2* The game is really good but can you please add a zoom in feature --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
