### 3/5 — UI defectueuse

*2026-08-03*

Problème sur le haut de l’ui dans la vue du jeu, on est plus capable de visualiser le nombre de gemmes qu’on a et le nombre de rubis ce qui fait que c’est un peu impossible de savoir quand il faut prestige ou se réincarné

### 4/5 — Good game.

*2026-07-31, version 4.3.15*

Screenshot to check gems.

### 4/5 — Good game with UI issues

*2026-07-26, version 4.3.15*

The game itself is great but you can’t see the top bar listing your coins, gems, assistants, etc.

Please change where the bar appears so it is lower than the notch on iPhone X and up

### 5/5 — One of the better idle games

*2026-07-18*

Pretty fun, enjoying my experience so far. The only problem I have is that there’s a bar at the top of the screen that shows you your gold, and I literally cannot see it and have to guess what increment of money I’m at. Is it millions? Billions? Who knows. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, and my camera blocks part of the top of the screen and there’s no display or UI setting that allows me to move it to the bottom or side so that I can see it. If any devs see this the ability to move that bar, or even just optimizing it for phone with cameras that overlap with the screen aren’t affected like this would be greatly appreciated.

### 4/5 — Dynamic island on iPhone blocks some of the game information

*2026-07-11, version 4.3.15*

Only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the dynamic island on the newer iPhones block some of the information. I wish there was a way this could be adjusted or I could turn the phone sideways so I could see everything.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2026-06-29*

Хорошая убивалка времени, рад что за столько лет она все еще работает
Единственный косяк с масштабированием, на айфоне с островком в районе динамика, теперь перекрывается полоска с данными сверху. Поправьте пожалуйста, после последнего обновления в настройках это не исправляется

### 4/5 — Great Idle Game, UI a little messed up

*2026-06-20, version 4.3.14*

I haven’t played for long, but I do enjoy this idle game compared to others. The main reason I’m writing this review is because I can’t see hardly any of my currency because of the camera on the phone that sits in the top middle. Again great game and I can’t wait to keep playing, but hopefully this can be adjusted in the future!

### 1/5 — Симулятор кликера

*2026-06-18*

Все в заголовке

### 5/5 — Klasse Game…

*2026-06-13*

… wer es liebt, wenn Zahlen brrrr… in die Höhe rattern, gerne auch etwas Taktik und ein Dorf dazu haben möchte, ist mit Realm Grinder gut beraten. Für kurze Besuche genau so schön, wie mal ne Stunde auf dem Sofi nebenher. Freu mich auf Events und hoffe das Spiel bekommt noch lange Updates 👍Macht Spaß und spielt sich auf dem IPhone gut… also meine Empfehlung: Download 😅✌️

### 1/5 — Bugged

*2026-06-07, version 4.3.14*

Still broken
