### 3/5 — Annoying Bug

*2026-07-23, version 5.11.0*

Overall have loved this game forever. But in the last few weeks, I’ve run into a weird bug where the level will scroll up when I try to break a block on either side of the map. I’ve lost quite a few levels because of this, and it’s at a point that I’m frustrated enough to about give up on it after 10+ years.

### 3/5 — not enough gems

*2025-07-11, version 5.6.0*

could be more gems easier to get without paying real money

### 4/5 — Pick level reset not appearing

*2023-09-13, version 5.1.0*

I was upgrading my pick all the way to the max level and have five crowns on that so far. When I got the fifth crown, the upgrade prestige just stopped appearing. I’ve played this game in the past and I’m sure I remember that the upgrade prestige would still appear well after five crowns. If that’s a bug, please fix it. That’s why I’m giving four stars instead of five. Apart from that, I have years of memories from the first time my older brother introduced me to this game.

### 2/5 — I lost all my progression

*2023-06-08, version 4.1.0*

I don't know why but i was playing that game from the beginning, always sync with my facebook accompt. Now, i can't get my game because pocket mine is not with facebook anymore. That's a real bummer. Not gonna play it anymore, 2-3 neither.

### 4/5 — Maybe my device but I get audio but no image

*2023-02-09, version 4.1.0*

I have played this game and I loved, still do, but I tried to play it on my iPhone 6 and it does download and install, the problem is just after the opening picture I get audio but no video. The audio isn’t glitchy and sounds normal. It’s just a black screen. I gave it four stars because I have played this game before like I said and it’s really fun until you run out of energy. I tried rebooting my phone and that didn’t fix it, I tried uninstalling the game twice and reinstalling it. Didn’t work. I waited for several minutes just to see if it was my phone being slow but that wasn’t the issue ( I mean it still could be partly at fault) I would like to know if it could be my device or if it’s a glitch that I can try to fix (idk how). Can someone tell me if they know what’s going on?

### 5/5 — So addictive and fun

*2022-10-30, version 4.1.0*

I loved this game and played it all the time but it’s not been working for  over a year please please sort it it won’t even load the app.

### 5/5 — Game

*2022-09-25, version 4.1.0*

Amazing

### 4/5 — Long Time Fan

*2022-08-06, version 4.1.0*

i've been playing since 2014 and i'm addicted! i have way too many artifacts and i wish there was some sort of way to add friends so i can give them away (facebook doesn't work) and the mines could use a little variety but other than that it's an awesome game!

### 3/5 — Can’t open

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-03-04, version 5.10.0*

Game constantly crashes and brakes the phone unfortunate grew up loving this game and decided to take a nostalgic trip

### 1/5 — Clunky and unrewarding

*2024-12-10, version 5.2.0*

The mechanics of this game are very clunky like not having a proper pause button, for some reason needing to wait 3 seconds to craft “magic cube”s and being really hard to speed up, and the progression is terrible i mean you have to spend upwards of 20 minutes to get 1 more pick swing meaning if you have 100 pick swings in order to get only 10% more you would need to spend 200 minutes, and the issue with that is the gameplay is repetitive and gets stale quick mixed in with the fact that the game is pay to win requiring you to watch ads in order to get gems and the fact that even after all that nothing changes! You got to change up the gameplay loop or add challenges here and there in order to keep a grindy game like this enjoyable, nobody is going to want to spend over 3 hours in order to get 10% further in the mine…

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-25, version 5.10.0*

So fun good time pass

### 5/5 — 5/5 Dedication from Roofdog

*2025-05-23, version 5.5.0*

I am not sure how many people still play PM1, but the other day there were some issues with in game timers and factory timers, and they already fixed the issue. Very dedicated and responsive developers.

### 5/5 — Pocket Mine Review

*2025-03-11*

This is the only game I have on my phone. I love it, and it’s addicting. I haven’t even tried the other games hahah, there’s just something about this particular art style.

### 5/5 — A classic

*2025-02-08, version 5.2.0*

I’ve been playing this game off and on for about 10 years, it’s a lot of fun!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

### 5/5 — I love this game so much :) <3

*2024-09-18, version 5.2.0*

I love this game so much :) <3

### 5/5 — Really cool app

*2024-08-23, version 5.2.0*

Like it really much

### 5/5 — Please fix!!

*2023-06-23, version 4.1.0*

Just remembered this game and I used to play it a LOT, so gutted it doesn’t work anymore, would love to support it if it was worked on again

### 5/5 — THE BEST!!!

*2022-11-09, version 4.1.0*

I have never been interested in kiddish type games like this, but I started playing this one because I remembered having it a long time ago, and I’m completely in love with it again! It’s not super involved but it still has a lot you can do in it. It gets more addictive the more you play, and I’ve never liked simple games, but this one is unique and Is one of my favorite games I’ve ever played anywhere. There’s also a pocket mine 2 & 3, so you can download those as well, and between the three games you almost never run out of energy! I LOVE THIS GAME!!! 🥰
