I downloaded it and it won’t open at all! Opens to a black screen and closes again. This needs to be fixed and I know it is not on my end ### 3/5 — Sir *2026-08-22, version 19.5.0* Excellent game. As a first time player I was annoyed by two aspects. I assumed it would be possible to move/rearrange buildings etc once placed, and I could not find a way to delete and restart the game from the beginning. ### 2/5 — 最新版闪退， *2026-08-19, version 19.5.0* 最新版打不开闪退 ### 2/5 — Great game but Bugs kill it for me *2026-07-21, version 19.5.0* I’ve been playing this game on and off since I was in middle school over a decade now. The past week I’ve been dealing with a bug where I have been unable to access or do anything on one of my islands. I have been talking to the support team for over two days on this and right when they claim to fix it, incomes another problem. I understand it takes time but my lord it should not take over a day to get anywhere. ### 2/5 — Разочарование *2026-07-12, version 19.5.0* Разочарована сильно. Очень любила эту игру в школьные времена. Решила понастольгировать, скачала, думала, буду играть долго. В итоге переплевалась с самого начала. Эти нелепые «три в ряд»- ни к селу ни к городу. Вообще отвернуло от игры на 4 же уровне. Мало того, что сделано плохо- замедленно, неинтересно, Некрасиво. Так еще и время приходится на это тратить, вместо того, чтобы играть в изначально хорошую игру! В общем, удаляю, даже не успев понастальгировать.. крайне советую не делать солянку из игры, и убрать отсюда «три в ряд» ### 3/5 — Overheat *2026-07-04, version 19.5.0* Since last update causes iPad mini to get hot ### 3/5 — Нагревается iphone 17 *2026-07-04, version 19.5.0* Сильно нагревается телефон во время игры в туземцы. В других играх такого замечено не было, даже в геншин и бравл старс, клеш рояль и тп. плохо сбалансирована игра ### 4/5 — All of a sudden, won’t open *2026-07-03, version 19.5.0* Have been playing for years, now the app won’t open. Black screen and crashes. Started on 7/2/26 ### 3/5 — Game won’t open *2026-06-16, version 19.5.0* I have played this game for a few years and have enjoyed it very much. Recently, it has stopped opening. Every time I click on the app it will start to open the game, then it will instantly close. I thought the last update would fix this issue nut it has not. Edit to add: I have even deleted and reinstalled the game and it still will not open. Any insights on how to make the game work would be appreciated. ### 4/5 — Not progress rest option *2026-06-15* We still need two options — reset gameplay, and delete account. For now we can only delete it. And wait for 15 days to start again. So I am still waiting for my game to get deleted. And then start over. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback regarding the gameplay reset and account deletion options. Your input is valuable, and we're here to listen if you have more thoughts on your experience. Please reach out through the support options in the app for any further assistance. ### 4/5 — So far *2026-06-11, version 19.4.0* It’s a great game, u do need the patios of a saint U can’t add friends And I really wish u could turn the building around But there is plenty to do with side games And task and the weekly races so plenty of ways to collect gems To improve your villages ### 2/5 — You lost me *2026-06-09, version 19.4.0* I hate match three games and the fact that I have to play them to complete a quest made me lose interest in your game. If not for that I would have rated this a five and now I am going to delete this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Falha no login *2026-09-05* Não consigo acessar minha conta, nao aparece mais a opção de entrar com o google **Developer response:** Oi!

Did a recent updated to the app and now it just crashes instead of opening. I ended up having to delete the app and reinstall which has now deleted all of my progress. Gues what. App still crashes. Tried this multiple times and made sure my iPad is updated and also I have enough storage space. Still can get the app to work. It just crashes and automatically disappears or closes down before even opening. Developers said they want to know more about the issue. I replied but never got a response back. ### 1/5 — You really like to watch adverts *2026-08-02, version 19.5.0* I’ve played this game several years and now the number of adverts has increased. Most adverts are about 90 seconds in length and the x to stop the advert after making a cuppa rather than watching the advert changes from side to side and the x is the smallest they can put on the screen. Some of the adverts you have to click on the screen as if you’re going to try the game. You need to have a lot of patience to play this game. ### 1/5 — Updates *2026-07-27, version 19.5.0* Played the game on my phone and it downloaded a new version. It is a week later and I still cannot play the game because that update is not available for download on my apple iPad. I asked game in-site and they said they sent the 19.6 version update but apple just is not releasing it. I am not sure what apples problem is. My phone is android. I would like to think apple wants to stay ahead of the curve. But I guess that is not the fact. Hopefully enough people see this and respond as well and maybe they will allow the updates. ### 1/5 — Tribez does not run well on iOS. *2026-07-14, version 19.5.0* Game insight blames devices (storage that’s 90%unused/free, memory/ram with only Tribez running and all background etc shut off, moved to brand new iPad Air and still bugs, etc!) and all delays are supposedly due to AppStore review process, everyone but themselves! It used to be a great game, that we can see the remnants! Sad… ### 1/5 — The Tribez *2026-06-29, version 19.5.0* I am unable to open this on my I pad, why is this happening? I have been playing for a long time. I don't want to reinstalled, and lose everything ### 1/5 — Adverts everywhere all over the game *2026-06-15, version 19.5.0* The app forces you too watch too many adverts. Not just normal advert, but first you need to watch it to be able to press “ok”…when you press it, you need to watch it once again endlessly, to press the arrow and then you need to watch it again to press the cross. It’s just ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Crash *2026-06-13, version 19.4.0* I used to play this game all the time and got to over level 100. Did a recent updated to the app and now it just crashes instead of opening. I ended up having to delete the app and reinstall which has now deleted all of my progress. Gues what. App still crashes. Tried this multiple times and made sure my iPad is updated and also I have enough storage space. Still can get the app to work. It just crashes before even opening. ### 1/5 — Lost all the worker *2026-06-04, version 19.4.0* Played for a lot of year really good to relax but in the last two days all my workers which I had over 30 have gone so can’t move up a level or collect anything can’t someone have a look at the game please!! ### 1/5 — Started out good *2026-05-23, version 19.4.0* I remember now why i deleted this game the first time, buildings you have to get in order to advance in the game have been made impossible to get…You need to complete the quest chain but in oder to complete it you need certain buildings which you can’t get because you haven’t completed the quest chain…. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-26, version 19.5.0* Love this game. I’ve been playing it for over 4 years ### 5/5 — 😍😍😍 *2026-07-31* Depuis des années que je joue à ce jeu et j’aime toujours autant, les quêtes la course de dino etc….. un réel plaisir de pouvoir utiliser plusieurs support , j’adore j’adore, Dommage que les points de Boost sont pas toujours comptabilisé quand le jeu bug il nous dit vous êtes hors ligne. Ce qui manque dans le jeu ; pour fabriquer les ressources par exemple l’arbre solaire il faut du bois et des planches il faudrais un accès direct ou une flèche nous dirigeant vers le ou les produits manquants , ça serait un gain de temps quand on utilise pas le trésorier **Developer response:** C'est fantastique de voir à quel point ce jeu vous passionne depuis tant d'années ! Vos retours sur les quêtes et la course de dinosaures sont très appréciés. Nous notons votre suggestion d'accès direct aux ressources, ce qui pourrait vraiment améliorer l'expérience de jeu. Pour ce qui est des points de Boost, nous prenons en compte votre retour sur le problème de connexion. Merci beaucoup pour votre enthousiasme et vos précieuses suggestions ! ### 5/5 — 非常好玩，非常推荐 *2026-06-29, version 19.5.0* 玩了好几次了，换个手机接着又在玩 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-27, version 19.5.0* Love everything about this game! Been playing for awhile now. Totally addicted. Except my app isn’t working. Went to open the app and nothing. Black screen. But all my other apps work 😩 ### 5/5 — Addicting!!!!! *2026-06-23, version 19.5.0* ********** ### 5/5 — fun *2026-06-20, version 19.5.0* This is a good time game --. ### 5/5 — Crashed *2026-06-20, version 19.5.0* My iPad mini4 will not open the app. Is this a glitch or is this permanent. Really enjoy the game. Love building and arranging the houses and factories.

So I love trees, forests, wildflowers, mountains, rivers, lakes. I play this game mainly to relax in between my shifts. So, what I am looking for is a casual beautiful fresh stress-free gameplay. I just want to build a visually appealing mainland village, and gradually build some castles and fortresses without going further into city building so that I can have a safe (mental) haven away from my stressed-out city life. Extra islands are a distraction for me. Time-bound events stress me out. Also, things get pretty cluttered and messy after sometime. Not relaxing for a game meant to relief stress. Trees get cut down by accidents. Need some warning or else, option to replant them. And some bamboos and wildflowers too. Then there’s this frustrating 15-day countdown to reset gameplay. I misused my gems and cut down lots of trees. So, I thought of starting over. Honestly, there should be two options — reset gameplay, and delete account. You only got the latter. So I am still waiting for my game to get deleted. And then start over. Hopefully, I don’t forget and lose interest in the game in 15 days. ### 5/5 — Crashed *2026-06-08, version 19.4.0* My iPad mini4 will not open the app. Is this a glitch or is this permanent. Really enjoy the game. Love building and arranging the houses and factories. Talon1941 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
