### 4/5 — Classic, but now kinda broken

*2026-08-14, version 3.30*

The game has been one I’ve played for many years since I was in middle school. BUT, the recent updates broke the layout. Today my screen was fine, but tonight I went to play and suddenly my money counter is covered by the black pill thing that is part of my iPhone. I know this pill thing is annoying, and there is no way around it. But how am I supposed to see my money, if you guys haven’t freaking updated the layout to work around it

### 4/5 — PLEASE FIX

*2026-08-03, version 3.30*

Game is so fun and I genuinely enjoy it but during the warped event, there is a glitch in the Gold Rush event where it won’t let you progress to level 2 and up. This is frustrating. I tried reaching out to support where she sent me to an article on the game page basically saying that it’s not possible to fix at this time. That article was written 2 years ago in 2024. I don’t know if they’ve given up or what, but come on.

### 4/5 — Very fun but needs maintenance

*2026-07-25, version 3.30*

I have been playing this game for a couple weeks now and so far am having lots of fun. My only gripe with this game is the Warped events. I can only complete 4-5 mission then the missions bug out and i can’t complete. It sucks cause this only happens for certain warped events and works for perfectly fine for others. The rewards are also super good but i can’t receive them due to the glitch. Please fix this bug 😭🙏

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-16, version 3.30*

Really good especially for an idle game. The advisors are really funny tbh and there’s a LOT of content. I’ve redownloaded this game MANY times over the past few years. Starting in maybe 1st grade? Now i’m in highschool and it’s still fun. And the fact that all ads are optional and not shoved in your face like most mobile games do is also really convenient and user friendly. Only complaint is that progression gets really really slow the farther you go. My personal farthest was tycoon island or whatever it’s called a few years back. Really fun would recommend as an offline game for anyone.

### 2/5 — Détail très dommage

*2026-07-14*

En soit, le jeu est très sympa. J’ai joué au jeu il y a à peu près 1 an et j’avais acheté le « kit du débutant ». Depuis peu j’ai décidé de reprendre le jeu et lorsque que j’ai démarré j’ai voulu acheter de nouveau le « kit du débutant » et le jeu m’a proposé de reprendre cet article sans le payer puisque je l’avais déjà. J’ai trouvé ça super mais lorsque je souhaite réintégrer l’article, le jeu tourne en boucle, me dit que c’est bon et au final je me retrouve sans rien. Je fermé le jeu plusieurs fois, je l’ai désinstallé et réinstalle 2-3 fois sans succès. J’ai même essayé de faire un feedback aux développeurs mais lorsque je tente de l’envoyer le jeu me dit qu’il y a un problème, donc même le feedback ne fonctionne pas. Je trouve ça très dommage car j’aime beaucoup le jeu mais honnêtement le fait d’avoir un achat intégrer que je ne peux pas récupéré ruine mon expérience. Très déçu.

### 3/5 — Achievement

*2026-07-01, version 3.30*

How to get the gem achievements again where did they go

### 3/5 — H

*2026-06-30, version 3.30*

Good game but there’s no quest thing for gems on the menu

### 4/5 — Love the game

*2026-06-27, version 3.30*

I really living playing the game I’ve been playing for a while now off and on. Sometimes my event goals disappear I can’t get them back so I miss the event but live the game overall

### 4/5 — No longer fits

*2026-05-13, version 3.30*

I just updated on 5/12/26 and it’s now misaligned and some parts are blocked by my front camera because it’s fitting past where my screen ends. Maybe it’s because I have a iPhone 15 pro max and it’s outdated and different from the 16? Would be nice if it was adjustable. It’s still fun and still playable but just frustrating a bit

### 3/5 — Tired of waiting for ads

*2026-04-07, version 3.26*

Fun game, but ads a way too long

### 3/5 — Something’s wrong

*2026-04-06, version 3.26*

Is the achievement tab in the menu supposed to go away after a while? If not then something is wrong because mine has been completely missing after I made a certain amount of money. I’ve deleted and redownloaded and it’s still gone

### 3/5 — New updates

*2026-03-29, version 3.26*

I love this game but for a couple months now I’ve had to watch ads for my rewards where as before the updates you could just click the truck and you got them! I don’t even get the tap reward anymore the one where you play without boosts and earn extra gems, keys, money etc! I wish they would change it back, I don’t want to have to watch ads all the time. Please put it back to how it use to be!

### 2/5 — New format

*2026-01-27, version 3.26*

I doubt this will do any good as the developers don’t seem to care about feedback
I tried leaving feedback within the game but that never work 🤷🏼‍♂️
For over a year now, beyond the Jungle, keeps saying ‘coming soon’ for the next level but seems it will never come so the game now is tedious where it was enjoyable before

### 3/5 — just let me play this at my own pace

*2026-01-26, version 3.26*

this game has decent potential for an idle game, but what is with the handholding??

it often puts me off of playing because i wanna be the one playing the game, and it feels like you're forcing how i should be playing.

i shouldn't have to be forced to do things just to learn how to play; let alone progress.

### 2/5 — Warped Game Bug

*2026-01-17, version 3.26*

I have been playing this game on and off for a while now. I love it. However I can’t seem to make it past the first round of quests in warped events. It freezes and stops letting me play the game. This really sucks because the rewards for those events are very helpful. If they could find a way to fix this and give the game an update to fix other bugs. I believe it could be a 5 star game!

### 4/5 — Great game small flaws

*2025-12-06, version 3.26*

I recently came back to this game and it’s really fun to build up but the bonus events have gotten stuck two times for me now. This and info about bizbots and how each part works are my only hold ups with the game.

### 2/5 — Грустно что регулярно из события в события появляются баги которые убивают любое желание играть

*2025-12-03*

Играю очень давно, пару раз бросала из-за того что в событиях то не открываются ящики ( без которых не дадут бонусы), то как в текущем события просто закончили задания , хотя до закрытия раунда осталось еще 4 ящика… мягко говоря обидно. Лучше бы у вас так проблемы с рекламой были чем с ящиками и заданиями

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your review and sorry to hear about this issue. The team will be glad to take a closer look if you could please reach out to them at https://tapstoriches.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Thanks and have a great rest of your week!

### 2/5 — Rename to “watch ads to riches”

*2025-12-02, version 3.26*

There is no gameplay in this “game” besides watching ads. That’s all you do. You login, watch an ad to double money, then you watch an ad for a free wheel spin , then you watch more ads to get random rewards. Close the game for a few hours. Get back on and start watching ads again. That’s literally all it is. Just watch as many ads as possible and log off.

### 3/5 — bags with warp events

*2025-11-06*

how long will Victorian Night and Gold Rush be stuck at 0/20 when trying to complete these warp events? The game's support is at zero, and it doesn't respond to any addresses. Please resolve this issue. Players are losing a lot.

**Developer response:** Hello Anastasia. Thanks for your review and sorry about the issues related to the warped event. If you could reach out to us at https://tapstoriches.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new we'll be glad to take a closer look and offer you some compensation for the issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-03-09, version 3.26*

I would like to report a bug . Everything time go into the game it’s dropping my numbers down I’m doing the event and it’s screwing me up  . Not sure what’s going on but it’s making me mad

### 1/5 — Sometime the game void inputs from tapping

*2026-01-18, version 3.26*

Making me go below and use a clicker to able to get the final levels as tapping I find it very slowed down

### 1/5 — Lost everything

*2025-11-23, version 3.26*

Tried to reach out in email & via the app but no answer but I’ve lost everything. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling the game because the warp event quests weren’t there & lost all progress as a result. Thought the cloud save would help but that thing is a joke.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-09-16, version 3.25*

What can I say. You start to get on a roll then it throws in an ad that last 10000 seconds. Deleted the game 4 times to reset. Frustrating to say the least

### 1/5 — Inconsistent Functionality & Busted

*2025-08-16, version 3.23*

Apologies for the long, review, but I have an experienced perspective.

I played this app for many years (decade or more?). Why I stuck around I don’t know. I guess I keep hoping it will improve, or at least get back to where it was.
It’s a decent app when it works, but the past couple of years it has become very inconsistent such that many core features are never functioning all at once. I’m always using the latest version and my phone is not old. Often you will discover that you are tapping for nothing (not progressing) because main features are in a stuck state. 
To give the developers some credit they FINALLY introduced a cloud save feature intended to preserve your account and allow switching of devices but that doesn’t work well either. It’s not intuitive; you’ll lose progress if you don’t do it correct. Although they say it auto saves it doesn’t. I’ve lost lots of progress because of this. 

The ads…WOW…they continue to get worse. Most ads are extremely annoying, cheesy, and promote scam bingo/slot apps. Many ads are like short films going on for MANY minutes! If I see another marathon Royal Kingdom/Match ad I’m going to lose my mind!! I get it, free apps like this need ads, no problem, but these ads are ridiculous in length and content. For most of these ads you have to click through more than five screens to close the ad. The ads will go on endlessly unless you click out of all the screens. It’s mind numbing. I’d pay for the no ads subscription, but as mentioned the core app features don’t consistently work so why pay for something that doesn’t work? 

Well over 90% of the advisors you collect are worthless. There’s only a few you need and once you max them out there’s nowhere to go. In addition, and I think this is something that’s broken, in each of the three worlds there is a point where you can’t advance the businesses anymore and capabilities start to top off. Although the app uses the word “infinity” in reference to capabilities, infinity doesn’t exist. Features simply stop progressing without any understanding why and no matter how many ads you watch or gems you purchase ZERO progression will occur.

Regarding the new weekly gimmick, the 5-day warp events, one would have to spend easily hundreds of dollars to make any significant progress. On that note, in general throughout the app the ratio of progress/reward to real money spent is not realistic or close to equitable. 

For example, you can purchase 1000 gems for $19.99 and with those gems buy a permanent 10x boost that will move your business progress by no exaggeration less than 100th of 1% which means you would have to spend THOUSANDS of dollars just to implement ONE single percent passive boost. The algorithms for progress make no sense. 

Also, I have over 300K “gold tickets” which is a lot. I keep accumulating them, but they’re completely worthless; I can’t use them for anything anymore, it makes no sense. So many features are broken.

Taps to Riches has great potential, but they can’t get it right. It’s clear they only care about sucking in new users to whom the app will seem fun at first (but later will see how broken it is) and don’t put new development into supporting long-time users. I’m tapped out, bye-bye Game Circus! And I won’t be playing your other apps either.

### 1/5 — Game has essentially been abandoned

*2025-08-07, version 3.23*

Used to be a good game, but it’s now riddled with bugs that never get fixed. Warp events, one of the main features, have been bugged for over 3 months to the point that they are literally unplayable. Bizbot upgrades in the main game mode broke at some point and no longer do anything, making progress take eons. Ads for bonuses used to be 30 seconds long, and are now regularly 60-120 seconds. Updates and bug fixes are virtually non-existent. Critical reviews are being deleted. This is coming from someone who has played this game for years.

### 1/5 — lost all progress

*2025-06-30, version 3.23*

after the game broke this weekend i tried to remove and redownload but it wouldn’t recognize my game center account which is the only account i’ve ever had and now i’ve lost everything i had spent years working on, super disappointed. why do i need to log in to a nonexistent google account when that has never been a thing

### 1/5 — Fun but bugged

*2025-06-29, version 3.22*

Game was fun until the new update which caused me to be unable to scroll through the map or let me tap on any houses.

### 1/5 — VERY Broken

*2025-06-27*

I was playing this app for many years from the beginning. Why I stuck this long I don’t know. They keep introducing bad features that end up breaking the good core app features/capabilities. As a result play progress will freeze all the time so you’re tapping for nothing. I’m wondering if the developers play their own app. 
They finally introduced a cloud save feature so you don’t lose your account (took them long enough), but that doesn’t work well either. It’s funky, be careful, you’ll lose progress if you don’t do it right.
The ads are ridiculous, some of them go on for MANY minutes; they’re like short films. If I see another Royal Kingdom ad i’m going to lose my mind!! Some ads go 4 to 5 minutes by time you click out of the many required screens - no exaggeration. It’s insane. I get it, apps like this need ads, no problem, but when I’m forced to sit through marathon lengths of ads - not worth my time. For most of these ads, you have to click through more than five screens for the ad to end. It’s so over the top.
They created a subscription for no ads, but I won’t do that because as commented above, the core app features don’t consistently work. Why pay for something that doesn’t work. 
And with version 3.22 that came out today, tapping doesn’t even work. The app is more broken than ever!
I’m over it, I’m tapping out, bye-bye Taps!

### 1/5 — Ads

Ads,ads and more ads 🗑️

### 5/5 — Still a fun game

*2026-07-15, version 3.30*

I love this game, I used to have this back in 2019 and I still find it super fun! I do miss the achievements though….

### 5/5 — Me encanta!

*2026-07-11, version 3.30*

Un juego increíble que te diviertes en tus tiempos libres

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-06-15, version 3.30*

I love this game so much

### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX

*2026-05-12, version 3.30*

Game is so fun and I genuinely enjoy it but recently I’ve noticed that when I open the game, it’s too zoomed in and I can’t my total money at the top. I’ve checked my iPhone settings and zoom is disabled so I know it’s not that as it’s only Taps to Riches that opens too zoomed in. Only fix is to restart iPhone, but then if I do that, the app returns right back to the top zoomed in glitch as soon as I close the game and reopen it. Please fix?

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-03-31, version 3.26*

I love this game so much and I’m glad you liked the game because it was so fun.

### 5/5 — Pb des publicités

*2025-12-03*

Bonjour je rencontre un soucis à la fin des publicités les récompenses ne sont pas accordées et je dois relancer l’application pour pouvoir reprendre le jeu et cela sans les récompenses qui était accordée

### 5/5 — Am I missing something?

*2025-07-19, version 3.23*

I love this game. I’ve been playing it since I was just a kid on and off and I love it just as much every time. I came back to it once more and love what you’ve done with it, however this is my 2nd event I’ve participated in, and this time it won’t let me progress further than level 0 even though I’ve completed the tasks. Maybe I have to unlock bizbots before I can progress, or maybe something else but I really want to play the event as I always get to the max level and love the rewards lol. Thank you :)
Edit: I’ve just somehow bought Midas tap x5 for the event? But now it’s not in the shop and I don’t know what I was tapping before so idk if I just got scammed or maybe it was a lucky bug?

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-07-14, version 3.23*

I like this game because it’s a clicker game but you get far to much money at the beginning

### 5/5 — Astonishing

*2025-06-30, version 3.23*

Where does one even begin when taking the honor of reviewing a game, nay, masterpiece such as this. This game truly has changed my very outlook on life and the mysteries of the world. For years I have been wondering aimlessly through this treacherous journey of finding the perfect creation on this wonderful planet, and so far I have made minimal leeway, until, today. This Godsend is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever found created by a mortal man, I believe this man is more than human, perhaps even an angel, but nevertheless, this game has been what has kept me going every since I discovered it, it has brought new meaning into my life and defined my purpose amongst those wonder the same way I once did. I truly hope that this creation can be spread throughout the world so that every soul gets the honor to participate in the journey that is playing this wonderfully sculpted masterpiece of a game. I do not think I will ever look for another game because I don’t want to risk the loss of this one. It has changed me, and it will change you too. God bless you all and I pray that you will experience this game the way we mortals were meant to experience it, with nothing less of pure joy. Thank you.
