You might be wondering why if anybody even sees this, and the answer is because the game is awesome. Yes, the game is really fun, but I have to pay for almost everything I want yo do. When I call myself poor I don’t really mean it, its just that my parents don’t allow me to buy things, I have literally never spent a penny in a game, they only rarely let me BUY games, so basically what I am asking is if you can make things free. I mean, no offense but this game has been on the app store for years and doesn’t even have 1,000 plays, so it couldn’t possibly hurt you to make one person (maybe a few other people) able ti enjoy a free game. Don’t get me wrong, nobody wants to pay, but just think about the people that physically can’t pay, I am am really hoping that you can take this into consideration, but bye (for now at least)! ### 5/5 — :D *2020-09-10, version 6.51* As a kid I loved it and I still do :D ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Level *2025-11-03, version 6.51* I need project 02 coaster level to the game ### 1/5 — boo *2024-03-12, version 6.51* not what was expected ### 1/5 — What! *2022-10-15, version 6.51* The little crane that could? The little crane that could do what? Also controls do not work ### 1/5 — It is taking so long to start downloading *2022-04-13, version 6.51* It won’t download ### 1/5 — Typing.... *2020-09-08* It is nice but feels bore cheep idiotic nonsense game ### 1/5 — The little Crane that can do nothing *2020-07-12, version 6.51* I can’t even do nothing all the symbols can’t do nothing ### 1/5 — Cannot restore my purchase *2020-03-01, version 6.51* As per title ### 1/5 — Ads and money *2019-07-16, version 6.51* There’s an ad every time you do something. The game would be more enjoyable if there were less, I’m not saying non because they still need to make a living. The decent gameplay is ruined by the constant ads. ### 1/5 — Please *2018-08-11, version 6.51* I want the other levels please ### 1/5 — Latest update ruins controls *2018-03-15, version 6.50* The latest update switched around the controls. The controls now no longer make logical sense to a game user. The claim that this “matches reality” is wrong, because in reality different machines have different controls and some machines even have settings to switch controls. Change it back to how it was before the update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2026-07-27, version 6.51* I remember playing this for hours on end when my mom would let me use her phone lol. I wanna say I was around 10-11 when I first found this game, I’m 26 now😂 ### 5/5 — Childhood *2026-06-22, version 6.51* This game is literally my childhood. When I first got my iPad in 2012, I couldn’t stop playing this all the time. And I just remembered I have this legendary game on this. ### 5/5 — 懐かしい *2026-05-04* すごくハマってたゲーム、また見つけれて嬉しい ### 5/5 — ahead of its time *2025-09-16, version 6.51* i remember playing this on ios 7 & 8 ### 5/5 — Harry *2025-07-08* King ### 5/5 — Little Crane *2025-07-07, version 6.51* This game comes as close to the realistic operation of equipment as any I've found yet! It's a great game and I'm hoping the creator is already working on more. I'd like to see more levels with different jobs and additional equipment such as Backhoes, bulldozers, front end loaders ect... Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — A smart game for kids *2025-03-22, version 6.51* Teaches 3d perception and controls. A favorite of ours for years! ### 5/5 — 5! *2025-02-04* Игра просто отличная, ни на секунду не пожалела денег ### 5/5 — Level *2024-07-26, version 6.51* I need mechanized bowling level to the game ### 5/5 — Perfection *2024-07-08, version 6.51* Never had any hate towards this game, (except when I was a child) and now I’ve done the impossible. I used to never be able to do that bridge level. Never understood it. Until now. Above all of my accomplishments, I am proud to say after who knows, how long; this is truly…truly the best game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
