I love it let’s go!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t do daily missions *2026-08-07, version 1.3.114* The daily missions are designed to trap you in a foreign territory. While they tell you it will cost you money to fly back, they don’t disclose that it is a significant amount ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time and money *2026-08-05, version 1.3.114* Pointless money pouring game,if you want loose your time and money and leave disappointed then this game is perfect for it ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2026-07-22, version 1.3.112* It won’t let me do anything, and then the logins disappeared and the tracking you while you go visit places thing doesn’t work. It’s hopeless. It’s awful by design. ### 1/5 — Worst of the Worst *2026-07-11, version 1.3.112* I’ve had this game almost since it came out. They keep coming out with new ways to Take your money and it is stupidly boring. Oh yeah, let me just pay a real $190 for a fake dump truck in a mobile game real quick. Definitely stay away from this garbage. If you bother reading the most recent 5 star reviews you can tell they are either fake or incentivized. Nobody likes this game unless they enjoy burning their money. ### 1/5 — Please do not get app *2026-07-04, version 1.3.111* They could see where you go and live❌❌❌❌❌‼️ ### 1/5 — Game use to be fun. *2026-07-02, version 1.3.111* This game use to be fun but it has become such a money grab game for the creators. Everything is basically pay to play. Releases use to be where it’s at, you would be excited for release dates for new cities now all you have to do is pay real money for assets. To keep your earnings you have to learn all their new things they keep adding to the game lots of things you need to pay just to get it checked of the list to keep your earnings each season. If I had advice it would be run while you can and try and cash out if you can but people keep spending their real hard earn cash on this game so it will never change. ### 1/5 — Money Sink *2026-03-18* Get ready to spend money. ### 1/5 — You Will Lose Money *2026-02-04, version 1.3.87* First of all, if you deposit money into this game, you will lose money immediately. It’s a total fraud and should be investigated. If you buy their token, UPX, then buy a property or anything else really, you will be lucky to get 50% of your money back if you try and sell. Most people won’t pay you more than 20% of your initial purchase price. Beyond that the game is filled with hackers and scammers, which is not regulated at all by their support staff. I have been in this game for over a couple years and this game was built by hackers having an unfair advantage against common players picking up all of the properties that have any sense of value. If you are new and curious about this game, I am just warning you that there’s no real entertainment within the game and you will lose money. You have been warned. ### 1/5 — worse *2026-01-05* app delete my account because i was unable to use the app for 7 days continuously and moreover i was on a vacation where i couldn't get network and i was there for 10 days ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-15, version 1.3.78* Can’t make real money, deletes your properties if you don’t log in. Makes it almost impossible to actually convert anything to real money. Garbage app, deleted, don’t waste your time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-17, version 1.3.112* Good ### 5/5 — SOL *2026-07-16, version 1.3.112* SOL ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-07-16, version 1.3.112* Fun game ### 5/5 — Gm *2026-07-15, version 1.3.112* Good games ### 5/5 — One of the Best Metaverse Games *2026-07-14, version 1.3.112* I’ve been playing Upland for years, and it’s still one of the most unique metaverse games out there.
