### 2/5 — Takes to long

*2024-09-18*

I am new to this game. I just got on the second map. It would take a week to complete one expedition due to less scrolls and runs compared to the first map. Waiting a week probably would be acceptable if your on the 5map but not the second. You're just taking out the enjoyment of new players.

### 2/5 — Good game, terribly made

*2023-07-04*

The game is fun and has the classical elements of an incremental game, with some really fun temple run elements.

However, the type of bugs is unacceptable. Unable to do certain missions, unable to contact support more than once through the in-game support center, and event rewards not being distributed.

I’ve got no problem continuing this game once the base functionality is more flushed out.

**Developer response:** Hello, explorer! We highly appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear you like Idle Explorers. We're sorry to hear that you encountered these issues. We always strive to offer our players the best experience possible, therefore, we'd like to investigate these issues further.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2023-07-03*

I like the game but when I got to expedition 12 when you unlock exchange I can’t progress when I click to turn in the 5 tokens my game freezes and I’m stuck like that and have to close it

### 3/5 — Could be great

*2023-06-23*

Not bad, not great either, quite boring and repetitive. It would have been good if they implemented the runs from the original temple run in to this game and just made it generally more exciting rather than unlock>hire staff>collect money> unlock next thing > hire staff > unlock next thing and so on

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to rate our game and for your honest review!

### 2/5 — Deleted all of my progress

*2023-06-18*

Even after reading all of the reviews I decided to give it a shot. Game was cool, going good and even bought the monthly subscription until I opened it and it deleted all of my progress including the event. Game and subscription deleted. So annoyed.

### 2/5 — Can’t progress

*2023-06-17*

I have only one quest remain to finish. It requires 6 stars, but I already finish all the star run, no enough star to finish.

**Developer response:** We're sorry your having trouble completing the Win 6 Stars task. Please use the Contact Support option in the game Settings menu to inform our Support team of this problem. We will be happily awaiting and ready to provide a solution.

### 1/5 — Bad start

*2023-06-14*

When you start playing it's very good but when the game says "create an item" and you tap to create the item the game crashes and stops working and I hope they fix that.

### 3/5 — VIP Subscription screen

*2023-06-14*

I like the game but the VIP Subscription screen will come up randomly then it will not go off. Switch tabs, still there. Hit “X” to exit, doesn’t shut down.

**Developer response:** Thank you for being part of our community and for reviewing our game! We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the VIP prompt. We would love to have you contact our Player Support team at support-idle@imangistudios.com to discuss this issue in more detail. Looking forward to hearing from you!

### 3/5 — Potentially great game

*2023-06-11*

So after play for a couple of hours I have found several issues

-The interface when choosing runners in the expedition can lock up so I can’t scroll to view the runners have to restart game

-The in game shop doesn’t close and stays above all other windows again have to restart to fix also doesn’t update with prices it’s 2.99 for for the monthly, 6 monthly or 12 monthly packages

-The UI sometimes feels unresponsive and clunky I think it needs to be refined more!

-Can’t zoom out much therefore constantly scrolling to view all buildings producing money

The gameplay itself is great a nice idle game that doesn’t break the mood except basing some of the resources you need to upgrade, basing it on the temple run game with some strategy involved about picking the right people!

### 1/5 — PTW

*2024-06-09*

This game is horrendous and isn't even worth playing. Doesn't tell you how to level up your players and you can't get level up scrolls without gems which you can only get through purchase. Now I'm stuck on a level up your character task and I can't even do that. Please make our gaming time worth while by making this actually playable for everyone or get this game off of the app store.

### 1/5 — Game is literally unplayable

*2024-06-04*

After a couple months the game has gotten worse with its bugs that have been around since the start of the game and with no way to report these issues in game. You get one chat with support then you can never create a new chat, they also never answer discord so there is no physical way to get a hold of anyone.. I was scammed out of my money for the vip, it said purchased but never let my collect the daily reward.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest review. We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our customer support team at:support-idle@imangistudios.com so that we can further discuss your concerns. We are committed to delivering a better app experience, and we hope you will give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

### 1/5 — in-app purchases

*2024-01-23*

Good game to play but I don’t know if it’s just a glitch in their app or if they’re just scamming money from players. I’ve made 3 purchases and received none of the content I paid for. 

@ app creators - please fix the issue with in-app purchases.

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Please open the in-game Settings menu and use the Contact Support button to share details with our Support team about the specific items that were not delivered properly to your account.

### 1/5 — Yet another..

*2023-07-13*

### 1/5 — Got my hopes up.

*2023-07-08*

I was exited that there was a new temple run but there’s no running and it’s nothing like the others. Crossing my fingers for temple run three.

### 4/5 — Good game but Needs fixing

*2023-06-16*

Very good game, still new so need a lot of bug fixing, for example, everyone mostly will get stuck at level 12 due to the exchange tutorial, not allowing anything to be exchanged

So hopefully that gets fixed but all in all a good game

### 4/5 — Update

*2023-06-12*

Great game but the subscription portion pops up and can’t be closed without exiting and restarting the entire app. Please fix this! I enjoy this game!
