They can be skipped but progress will be even slower. The extortionate £40 VIP package could help but it DOESN’T remove ads. ### 3/5 — Tiny tower events are kinda buns now *2026-08-27, version 8.0.0* K nimblebit pls put more effort into the events like for this summer event u collect beach balls monthly rewards and that’s it except for the wheel it’s in every event and nimblebit you might be burned out of tiny tower but please there are still ppl who play ### 3/5 — Unbelievably slow *2026-08-23, version 7.9.5* The game has an excellent shell but everything takes so long. ### 4/5 — the only thing im mad at *2026-08-13, version 7.9.5* ive played this game for years, been a massive part of my childhood. for VIP citizens that come into your tower and you select which level they go to, why in gods name is the “ yes” and “no” buttons the opposite ways around, i have lost almost a dozen becauae of this one little thing, yes is always a left hand button, no is always a right hand button, common knowledge id assume ### 2/5 — Bad VIP change *2026-08-10, version 7.9.5* Worked great for many years until the recent change to the VIPs. I go from 80% gathered and easily half at multiple levels. To getting a bunch of keys for them that got me enough for 10-12 at level 1. Then I opened it on my second device and it wiped out those 10-12 and gave me enough keys for 1 VIP. Very not cool. ### 4/5 — more floors pleaseeeee *2026-08-07, version 7.9.5* please make more of each floor of each type!! i beg ### 3/5 — Awesome game plagued with ads *2026-08-05, version 7.9.5* I wanna start this off by saying the gameplay itself is great, quite and enjoyable and chill gameplay loop and lots of customization and decent sense of progression, but thats when you’re actually playing the game. The majority of the gameplay is just ads, and this is coming from someone who paid for an in-game purchase that claimed to remove ads. Every other parachute guy prompts you with an ad, even with video ads turned off. Audio ad balloons float up, you can watch ads for vip, you can watch ads for chests, ads for dice rolls, ads for random stuff, it’s just ads ads ads… I understand companies need to make money, I have no problem supporting companies who deserve it, like I said I’m a paying customer, but the gameplay suffers massively for me from the amount of ads they shove down your throat. Without the ability to completely disable ads I cannot really recommend this game, despite the gameplay being fun. I paid under the assumption I could play without constant ad pop ups, but I feel cheated. TL:DR good game but greedy company and too many pop-up ads that seemingly have no way to be removed drastically taking from the gameplay experience. Wish I could give this game review. ### 2/5 — Ugly - American flag thumb image *2026-08-04, version 7.9.5* Deleted app after they updated the thumb image to American flag. Not going to keep that on my phone. ### 3/5 — Left Side of the Screen is a MESS! *2026-07-24, version 7.9.0* The entire left side of my screen while playing tiny tower is FILLED with interactive windows that take me to other screens! They cover almost the entire elevator shaft and it’s just too cluttered! Other than that I like this game. ### 4/5 — Return player! *2026-07-23, version 7.9.0* I played this game faithfully back in high school. Many years later as an adult i am back!! I missed it ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-07-22, version 7.9.0* Very nostalgic Ive been playing this for years ### 5/5 — :) *2026-07-13, version 7.9.0* :) :) ### 5/5 — Worthy *2026-07-13, version 7.9.0* Best idle game for long play players or short play players it suits both ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Data Did Not Transfer *2026-08-25, version 8.0.0* I recently purchased a new iPhone and thought that my Game Center data would sync or transfer over to my new iPhone. I feel silly for putting money into this game and nothing saved! :( I’d appreciate a refund. ### 1/5 — ADS DONT HAVE EXIT BUTTONS *2026-08-20, version 7.9.5* dont watch any ads for rewards they never let you leave the ad and dont give you your reward most of the time 🤦 ### 1/5 — Slow updates *2026-08-17, version 7.9.5* This used to be nice and entertaining. Now it’s just a very boring game. No new updates lately. I’m not wasting any money to purchase anything from this game. ### 1/5 — Older devices *2026-08-14, version 7.9.5* I’ve played for 12 years and sadly cannot visit some of my friends because my device is too old for an update. Wish y’all could fix this :/ its such a simple game, what could possibly not run on the iPhone 7??? ### 1/5 — Used to love- now unplayable ad trash- not even a game anymore *2026-08-04, version 7.9.5* I used to love this idle game that you could easily check in and out of throughout the day to check on your tower. I left for a few years and recently redownloaded only to find every tiny thing has been fully monetized by requiring you to view a long, intrusive, screen freezing add. Every few seconds a guy floats down or up your screen offering you coins or bux for viewing an add or even worse, listening to an add in which the game FORCES you to unmute your phone and listen for the reward. Almost every single action has the option of watching an add in order to increase your money/speed/ect. The entire game has been re-adjusted so that the amounts of coins/ bux earned through just normal gameplay is GROSSLY inadequate if you want to move forward at all in the game without literally waiting weeks to accumulate the money needed to advance floors. The only way to move forward is to CONSTANTLY be watching the same terrible adds over and over and over. And the adds themselves are awful. Some lasting 3 to 5 MINUTES long just repeating the same terrible ai generated slop over and over until it will finally let you click to another page to wait AGAIN for the exit button. This isn’t even a game any more, it’s a sit there and watch adds and generate add view money for the creator. 0 stars. Creators greed has fully destroyed any playability. ### 1/5 — More Ad than game *2026-08-02, version 7.9.0* I understand the need for ads, but they make it unplayable compared to the original. Ads in your face constantly. Don’t waste your time on this. ### 1/5 — Purchase or watch ad *2026-07-31, version 7.9.0* Game tried to get you to watch 1+ ads at every turn. Or make absurd purchases which don’t go far. By the time you get to level 15 the cash accumulation becomes so slow it takes half a day. Horrible cash grab game. ### 1/5 — Booo - American flag thumb image *2026-07-07* Was disgusted to see a thumbnail image of an American flag as the button for Tiny Tower. It been years since I have played it, now I have a reason to delete. ### 1/5 — ADS DONT HAVE EXIT BUTTONS *2026-06-16, version 7.8.0* dont watch any ads for rewards they never let you leave the ad and dont give you your reward most of the time 🤦 ### 1/5 — We need more floors *2026-06-15, version 7.8.0* I’ve been playing for years and really love the game but for the love of god, ADD MORE FLOORS instead of boring events. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-23, version 7.9.5* I loved playing this game as a kid and playing it more as an adult is still super fun. I appreciate the ability to listen to ads for rewards while still being able to play the actual game, it’s one of my favorite features. I love the classic gameplay of Tiny Tower as well as everything else NimbleBit puts out, I couldn’t be happier to support a mobile game :) ### 5/5 — Forever the best on iOs *2026-08-16, version 7.9.5* Tiny Tower is hands down the best game to ever grace the app store ### 5/5 — classic *2026-08-13, version 7.9.5* loved this game for years and it’s in my regular mobile game cycle. you can get so creative with what universe you want to build. it’s awesome ### 5/5 — The best game *2026-08-13, version 7.9.5* I told my class that I thought it was a great way for financial life ### 5/5 — IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP PLAYING *2026-08-10, version 7.9.5* WAY TO GOOD AND CANT STOP NO MATTER WHAT I CANT SLEEP OR EAT HELPP ITS TO GOOOOOOD OF A GAMEEEEE!!!! ### 5/5 — An OG classic *2026-08-07, version 7.9.5* I loved this game 10 years ago and I still love it now. This game respects your time, yes, it has ads but you don’t need to watch any of them. You have a few minutes before restocking a floor? Watch an ad and get some coins or cash (used for upgrades or building new floors). GG devs, great little game 😎 ### 5/5 — Towering over the competition *2026-08-07, version 7.9.5* My girlfriend suggested I play this game with her so we could be “neighbors” and I became hopelessly addicted to it. I am also a little OCD, so the game calms me down as each person is banned and dressed a specific way. My girlfriend is good at the game, but I’m better 😂 ### 5/5 — I love Tiny Towers *2026-08-02, version 7.9.0* I love Tiny Towers ### 5/5 — Aaamazing *2026-07-26, version 7.9.0* This game is so good. I used to play this game but like honestly it’s a five star game. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-07-25, version 7.9.0* I like that this game is genuine and it’s not very money hungry or pushing the issue of buying something to make the game better you don’t have to do anything to make the game better. All you have to do is literally take your time to stock the floors and just make money, I guess --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
