Now two of my ships are loaded and ready to sail but are frozen in the harbor. Hate when this happens in an app after you’ve achieved a certain level. Hope the next update fixes this bug. 6/18/2026 This game. Have played it and loved it but it is very buggy. It’s only getting halfway loaded now and then quits. Have tried different things to try to work around but no such luck. Hate to give up all the progress but that may be my only option now. ### 3/5 — Bug issue *2026-06-08, version 1.53.7* I love this game so much but I’m incredibly annoyed - I’m spending money to play and the app crashes as soon as I open it. Please drop an update. ### 3/5 — So frustrating! *2026-06-02, version 1.53.7* Would have given this app a 5 star rating until I added my third ship. Now two of my ships are loaded and ready to sail but are frozen in the harbor. Hate when this happens in an app after you’ve achieved a certain level. Hope the next update fixes this bug. ### 3/5 — Used to love it *2026-02-13, version 1.52.11* I used to love this game. I've played it daily for years. I've accumulated special buildings, upgraded my barn many, many times. Joined a clan and was doing well. When I opened the game today, it was completely reset. I've lost everything I had worked for. I'm so disappointed. The only good thing is that I didn't spend any actual money playing the game. I guess I will be uninstalling it after this disappointment. ### 3/5 — Too many interruptions *2026-01-31, version 1.52.11* This game isn’t bad however, there are a lot of interruptions where they stop you from playing to tell you what to do. Additionally, you have to stop and watch ads randomly. The ads are too frequent. ### 3/5 — Tough *2026-01-19, version 1.52.11* This game has terrible glitches! I’ve only been playing about a month or less. I’ve had to contact support for problems with the videos in the theater and the merchant shop. Now I’m having so much trouble in the clan competition!! What is wrong with this game?? ### 3/5 — Lost interest quickly *2026-01-10, version 1.52.11* Every time I started to enjoy the game a forced ad brought everything to a halt. This game could be fun but I’ll never know. ### 2/5 — Used to be fun *2026-01-03, version 1.52.11* I loved this game for a couple of years, but recently they introduced non-optional ads that show up frequently. The last time I played, the ads forced their way in every 3-4 minutes. It was beyond annoying and I will be deleting the game. ### 3/5 — Ad break *2025-12-23, version 1.52.11* Do not like the Ad break they added in. ### 3/5 — Add break? *2025-12-06, version 1.52.11* I used to really love this game but now their is an add break every 5 mins. It’s so annoying and not worth playing. ### 3/5 — No *2025-12-02, version 1.52.11* The ads in this game pop up every 24 seconds and I can’t even stay focused on anything I’m trying to do bc an ad will pop up and it takes away all your creative freedom and thought process. Please remove the ads. It’s so ridiculous and obnoxious. No one watches them. You’re going to lose so many players bc of it. ### 3/5 — Farming and production game *2025-11-30, version 1.52.07* The game is fun if you like farming and production games. It is fun to get decorations and develop your town if you like organizing your buildings and creating an aesthetic look when designing your town. Never got a reponse from developers when I had an issue that is still unresolved. The game had weird glitches sometimes but I can still play around them. The ads were optional to get some stuff, but now they are forced upon you, so I am still deciding whether I will put up with them or quit. ### 1/5 — Ads non stop *2025-11-30, version 1.52.07* This game used to be really fun but just recently it has ads that pop up every few minutes and it’s hard to get tasks done. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2025-11-29, version 1.52.07* They have implemented forced ads every few minutes which interfere with all the competitions. I have deleted the game from my device because of this. ### 1/5 — Down the drain *2025-11-29, version 1.52.07* Used to be fun. But now there are a ridiculous amount of pop up ads that you can’t avoid without spending money. The game is so glitchy despite multiple sponsors. Not enough game development for higher level players. ### 1/5 — The ad break is A PROBLEM *2025-11-29, version 1.52.07* Every 60 seconds the ad break happens…this has now taken away from enjoying the game. PLEASE TAKE OUT. ### 2/5 — Latest update has caused me to quit *2025-11-28, version 1.52.07* I was enjoying the game until the latest update. I was content to choose to watch the ads I wanted to, and I watched dozens per day. However in the new update, the ads are no longer optional and once they start popping up they continue to disrupt my thought processes every 3 minutes. If the subscription price to remove adds was a reasonable I may have paid it, but $4.99 per week is nearly the same price as a TV subscription. Insidious. Sorry to lose a game I enjoyed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not really OG Oregon trail *2026-03-27, version 1.53.7* All I’m doing so far is tapping where they tell me to tap. This is lame. ### 1/5 — Ad city *2026-03-19, version 1.52.11* The first time the game said ad break to me I deleted. It’s also a clone of sim city. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-03-17, version 1.52.11* I purchased two packages, the settlers pack first, and then it said it would give me bonus dollars so I purchased the trolley pack second. The first one was $7.99. The second one was $79.99. I did not receive any of the items that were a part of those packages nor did I get the bonus. I submitted a complaint to customer service and they responded asking for confirmation receipt, which I provided, and tilting point still did not refund my money or provide me the reward as I had purchased. Do not trust this game, and do not let them steal your money. I will be looking into getting a lawyer and pressing charges if need be for the theft. ### 1/5 — I miss the old game *2026-02-12, version 1.52.11* I remember playing this game on the kindle the old version of this game you were some one who had settled in Oregon a you set up your own city, it let you build everything from scratch, it looked better and there was so much more content than a factory game where you grind for items to send people along the trail. This game has fallen so far. 🥲 ### 1/5 — Where do I start?!? *2026-02-12, version 1.52.11* This game glitches so bad. I’ve been playing and cannot access my wagons. Don’t bet on getting a timely response from support or getting an answer on when something will be fixed. They are slow and don’t communicate well. They want you to buy everything but won’t even fix what’s broken! Let me access my wagons!!!!! ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-02-03, version 1.52.11* I loved this game, but deleted it because they included forced ads. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-01-23, version 1.52.11* This game has a lot of ads & who needs a ad break for ? ### 1/5 — No support *2026-01-21, version 1.52.11* Several significant bugs need to be fixed and there is 0 customer support for this game. ### 1/5 — get rid of ads *2026-01-15, version 1.52.11* game is fun but not good enough to be worth the ads every 2 mins even with the 25 coins or paying. ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2025-12-30, version 1.52.11* Too much ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cute game *2026-06-07, version 1.53.7* Kids love it ### 5/5 — Epic American Game *2026-05-01, version 1.53.7* I’ve loved many versions of this game, the original version taught school age kids history in a way they can understand. It taught bartering and actually what the pioneers had for meals, what skills were needed & everyday hardships! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-02, version 1.53.7* Love this game, and even if you have the free version with ads, it’s not so bad because you get coins after the ads. ### 5/5 — Commercials.. *2025-10-03, version 1.51.208* I really enjoy not being forced to watch them..you actually get a choice.. ### 5/5 — wow *2025-07-24, version 1.51.04* wow ### 5/5 — Game is so fun *2025-06-27, version 1.50.04* The only bad thing is amount of time for things to be made no ads at all very fun tells you what happened on the trail to very fun game ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-03-27, version 1.48.3* Decent little game ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-03-10, version 1.47.1* Wish the play window wasn’t so crowded, avatar icon, population bar, level indicator bar, even the coin and money bars, could be downsized. Game is easy play and relaxing. Good work! ### 5/5 — Glitch Town *2024-12-26, version 1.43.0 3099* Okay so yeah, the glitches are getting too consistent and can’t work around them. I can’t even log in right now and neither can anyone on the fb group I’m in.. Super lame when you actually do the clan comps because now we’re probably going to miss a whole day. These mini bugs need to be fixed or you’re going to lose valued users… ### 5/5 — Glitch *2024-08-06, version 1.39.1* Just got into the game today and it keeps glitching on the event reward - won’t let me select it :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
