I have no idea what to do. I have the tutorial on and all it does is say like “someone hungry.” Ok, HOW DO I FEED THEM!! Tutorial should explain it better. I am frustrated that my family is going to die before I get anywhere… ### 3/5 — Meh *2024-10-12, version 1.0* Grinding ### 3/5 — 想要优化 *2024-09-27, version 1.0* 游戏加速卡顿 游戏分辨率太低 ### 3/5 — Lag in offline game is a new one for me *2023-09-28, version 1.0* Game always, I mean always lag at the start of the day if you fast forward it. Every day without a doubt it lags cannot stop . Sometimes I miss the traders or broadcast. ### 1/5 — + de 200 jours de survie et gros beug *2023-07-27* Un jeu très prenant mais super beugé ! 😭😭😭 au cours d’une attaque de l’abri mon équipe d’expédition est revenue sans le camping car et sans le chien 😭😭😭 200 jours de survie en mode difficile pour ça franchement je suis dégoûtée… ### 1/5 — Resolución *2023-05-20, version 1.0* Tengo el juego desde hace tiempo y me lo descargue en mi 13 pro Max y no se adapta a las dimensiones del teléfono se ve mucho más pequeño espero una solución. ### 4/5 — Necesita una actualización *2023-02-26, version 1.0* Estaria bien una actualización o la posibilidad de poder viajar a otro mapa ### 1/5 — Une honte *2023-02-12* Pas adapté aux nouveaux écrans !! A fuir. ### 2/5 — Fun… until the bugs come out to play. *2022-12-08, version 1.0* Game is addictive, however after a while NPCs and your characters will become frozen and you can’t select them again. I’ve tried restarting the game but to no avail. Please fix this devs, as I’d like to see a good paid game like this polished for all players to enjoy. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Challenging & Fun *2022-05-23, version 1.0* This is a game that has been out for a while, and because of that, it comes with no ads, micro-transactions, or anything that makes the game easier. It makes the game purely skill-based, which is something I strive to look for. These older games were made before the “wave of the ads” came in, and that’s why I strongly suggest this game rather than other more modern games of similar style. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could be great *2025-11-25, version 1.0* I played about 12 hours and died after the last of 4 family members died. Which I didn’t know was a thing. After dying there is absolutely no benefit. You start over being forced to do the same boring things. Some benefits or perks should be earned. You lose everything. It is a permadeath game with no replay value. ### 1/5 — Cannot be full screen *2025-06-03, version 1.0* Cannot be full screen ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-05-10, version 1.0* I’ve been playing this game for years and the game no longer works when I went to open it today ### 1/5 — need new chinese *2024-09-21, version 1.0* 中文字体已经不再支持，大部分字都是？？？ 请求更新 ### 1/5 — No iCloud save backup *2024-04-28, version 1.0* .. ### 1/5 — Kontroller *2024-04-26, version 1.0* Boşuna para verdim. Kontroller çok kötü. ### 1/5 — Okey *2023-12-20, version 1.0* Hard to click on things not got same game modes as Xbox :( ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-11-05, version 1.0* It’s Jumpy and freezes ALOT to the point it’s unplayable… ### 1/5 — Great but buggy *2023-10-13, version 1.0* Great and addicting game but buggy that will not make your current game recoverable. ### 1/5 — Four years out and still no update *2023-08-03, version 1.0* How do you sell a product and than abandon it? I get this isn’t the PC port but you can’t even update to fix the aspect ratio? Lazy developers. Don’t buy anything from them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A perfect game a legend with one bug! *2026-08-29, version 1.0* I’ve had the game for years and it’s worth every penny. Only criticism I have is a bug that makes work stations stop working mainly the toilets and mops. Please fix ### 5/5 — เกมสนุกมากค่ะ เล่นได้เรื่อยๆเลย *2025-10-25, version 1.0* เมื่อก่อนเคยเล่นในstreaming พึ่งรู้ว่ามีในapp storeด้วย เล่นสะดวกเลย เกมสนุกดีค่ะ เล่นได้เรื่อยๆไม่มีเบื่อเลย ### 5/5 — new update pls *2025-08-31, version 1.0* The game is truly worth the money I spent. But i think the developers should consider adding an update that allows us to grow potted plants as decoration inside the shelter, plants would not only make the shelter look nicer but also help reduce stress for the survivors. Another great addition would be the ability to tame a new animal from the wild if a pet dies, so players can always have a companion by their side.(please) ### 5/5 — Storage list problem *2025-08-21, version 1.0* When I open the storage in the game, there is no scroll-down arrow in the list. There is only a scroll-up arrow, and I can't access the rest of the list. Could the developers please look into this? Other than that the game is very good. Thank you for all your effort. ### 5/5 — GREATEST GAME EVER *2024-12-24, version 1.0* I love this game, bought it on Xbox and now on here. Thank you! Love it ### 5/5 — Please fix inventory down arrow on iPad *2024-10-19, version 1.0* The game is brilliant and I have spent hours and hours tapping away on it, there is one bug that is just very annoying. I don’t seem to be able to scroll when I press “open storage”. I have needed to delete some items so that I can collect resources from recycler and have had to make a tiny expedition in order to do this. Please just can I have the button. Many thanks and I love the game!! ### 5/5 — Please developers *2024-07-23, version 1.0* Let me start by asking the developers to PLEASE update the game to support bigger screens. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and this game does not use the whole screen. Please bring an update to use it. If the notch is an issue just don’t pass it that’s fine but at least use more screen. Other than that I have been a sheltered gamer for many years, starting from PC and because I loved the game so much I bought it the second it was available on mobile. We love your game guys, it’s a game that will never get old, even if it’s not bringing the money, please bring us an update. Thank you! edit: PLEASE UPDATE TO USE FULL ADVANTAGE OF BIGGER SCREENS!!!! ### 5/5 — Optimized for iPhone with bigger screen please! *2024-01-17, version 1.0* I love this game! I bought this years ago but this game now needed serious updates for the new phones. ### 5/5 — ☑️✅ *2023-10-18, version 1.0* Hey developer very great game just wanted to say hope there’s updates and new things coming soon been playing for 3 years now ### 5/5 — Aşırı iyi Ama… *2023-02-08, version 1.0* Oyun aşarı ama aşırı iyi fakat Türkçe dil gelmesi şart yoksa hiç bir şey anlayamazsınız ya firma getirsin ya da bir firma üstlensin yama olsun lütfen --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
