Nunca canso desse jogo. Raridade nos dias de hoje. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fire game 🔥🔥🔥 *2024-03-08, version 6.1* This was my actual childhood and is crazy. I redownloaded it and I am glad. The controllers are kinda weird but that also might just be me. ### 1/5 — too many adds now *2023-09-01, version 5.3* I used to love this game. just redownloaded and now there is an annoying amount of adds. Also to the person that said the music video is inappropriate, I just rewatched it and am so confused about what you found not child friendly. cool game tho ### 1/5 — Music not working *2023-08-26, version 5.3* There is no guy singing in the background like there used to be this is the worst game I’ve ever played ever ### 1/5 — Too many Ads and Game is Bugged *2023-06-10, version 5.3* First off I love Whale Trail I remember first downloading this game 10 years ago. It has gone downhill from there. They force you to watch ads every other time you need to restart. The game doesn’t fit on iPhone 13 Pro Max; it cuts off some of the necessary came controls. Overall you will not have me playing this broken game and watch your ads. There isn’t even a paid version, eat dirt. ### 1/5 — game is broken *2023-04-24, version 5.0* challenge to get 666 is impossible, all scores are odd numbers ### 1/5 — ALL ABOUT WATCHING ADS *2023-01-21, version 5.0* Another awesome game that pushes the greed threshold just a little too far. Very possible to play without watching ads but if you want to advance and upgrade to the point where the game starts to get more fun it'll go very slowly without subjecting yourself to ads. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Was killed by pay-to-win approach *2021-03-14* Whale trail was a lot of fun when it was originally released as a paid app. Unfortunately, meanwhile the game followed the dark path of play-to-win and has accordingly been tailored to make you buy perks. The fun is mostly gone. Sad. **Developer response:** It's really not "pay-to-win" as you describe it - firstly because you don't need to compete against anyone and absolutely everything can be unlocked using Krill earned in the game. If you prefer to get a costume faster, that's a choice we give users. Further, we have enhanced the rewarded ads available so if you wish to earn Krill that way you can do. ### 1/5 — Very Irritated *2017-12-29, version 2.4.12* I never write reviews on anything, but I had to say something about this. I beat the game. Like, literally, beat the game. I bought all of the costumes and all of the wallpapers and backgrounds and all of the characters and upgraded everything to its maximum. The last thing I bought was Gruff for 54,321 krill. This was last night. I was very happy because I had beaten the game! This morning, I went to play the game and EVERYTHING WAS GONE. Except for Gruff! Are you joking?? I beat the game and then have to start over? Absolutely NOT. I am, in a word, infuriated. I cannot BELIEVE the audacity of these people! How come I beat the game and am rewarded with starting over? No thank you. ### 2/5 — Updates made it unusable *2025-11-30, version 7.0* One of my favorite games. Now with the updates it will not work on my old iPad. Sad ### 2/5 — Now has adverts *2024-03-30, version 6.1* Used to be a great game. Spoiled by long and annoying adverts. Shame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Whimsical Wonder Whale *2026-08-24, version 7.0* This is an amazing game! So fun! My daughters had so much fun playing it as kids, I am happy and surprised that it is still available and free and updated in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Soooooo gooooood *2026-07-29, version 7.0* I love this game so so so so so so so much and I can’t stop playing it it’s just like in the App Store you have to get the bubbles to fly don’t touch the clouds 🌧️if you do you die it’s very very simple. ### 5/5 — I have played this game since 2013. *2026-07-18, version 7.0* This is literally the best game I have ever played on my iPad. I only play on iPad. Best game ever, please never get rid of it. ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-07-17, version 7.0* Like the only game that is not brainrot whale trail is so fun and so simple and I would say this is the funnest game on the App Store ### 5/5 — Nostálgico *2026-07-10* Jogo perfeito, jogava quando era criança. ### 5/5 — My childhood *2026-07-04, version 7.0* I played this almost every day with my sister when I was little, I’m glad to spend time playing it again! ### 5/5 — AWESOMENESS IS THIS!!!!! *2026-07-02, version 7.0* This is such a great app and it is SOOOO much fun.
