But if you sell a player you don’t get any money for them wich makes no sense ### 3/5 — Updates *2023-10-12* Is already a decent game just needs a couple more updates to make it really good **Developer response:** A couple new updates have been released, Ir0nman009! ### 4/5 — Potential *2023-06-04* This game has such great potential to be massive it’s just lacking a few things at the moment **Developer response:** A few more things added, Older.Shaw! ### 3/5 — money *2023-02-25* they gave me no money when i sold my player ### 3/5 — Bug *2023-02-17, version 1.16* Jogo é o bom mais dinheiro das transferências some ### 3/5 — Good idea, needs improvement *2023-01-30, version 1.16* The game itself and the concept is great, would be cool if you got to keep players cause it’s sad to see them go but understanding that it’s a youth academy. The actual matches that you play needs to be fixed, I have a 970 rated team against 300 rated teams and im losing, its almost impossible to actually win matches with the very slight advantage you have, needs work and improvements for sure otherwise there’s no point in playing matches ### 2/5 — No way to improve players *2023-01-10, version 1.16* Game is great but it seems impossible to improve player even when upgrading facilities ### 2/5 — Good but bad *2022-12-25, version 1.16* Good but now kicks me out in a few seconds plz fix I like it but this ruins it ### 3/5 — Good game *2022-12-11, version 1.16* The way the matches work need to be improved. I have a team with 750 power against a team with 350 power and I am consistently losing to them. If you fix this it would be a perfect game ### 3/5 — De très bonnes bases *2022-12-11, version 1.16* Très bon jeu mais malheureusement la progression des joueurs ne marche pas ! A rectifier dans la prochaine mise à jour ! Mes infrastructure sont presque au niveau max et en gardant les joueurs 3 ans pas de progression. Mais le jeu est très bon ! ### 2/5 — Good concept *2022-11-22* I like football and I like idle games, this is something of a good fusion of both on that front. I also like that you can track players development but there is no indication what type of player they are or what position they play, yes the stats will give you a better idea but some sort of position indicator would help. Unfortunately, some if the other things aren’t so good. For example, no matter how good your team is, playing matches is a lottery with the pick a card system and for me, it doesn’t work very well in the football game genre where usually things like form and team morale are big factors, but I can see why you would choose to go with this format and seek to separate yourselves from others, but personally it’s not for me. I gave 2 stars because it’s not awful, but it’s a fair way short of where it could be, but this has potential to be quite good **Developer response:** Great feedback originalmurphles, thanks a lot. We're working on a lot in this concept so hope we can deliver the game we think it can become. Player position we deliberately left vague, some kids go from striker to defender, depending how they develop. For simplicity we kept it to ability for now. But we may change this. Especially for match mode which is undergoing a big change. Thanks for also recognising that card game choice too. I know what you mean, even i think the game cheats me sometimes and i was part of building it! that's the problem with luck based outcomes. There's a lot being changed there. Will reveal in future releases. Thanks again for your review, check back in with us in a few months to see what we came up with plus our newer football game 👀 ### 2/5 — Cant play the game *2022-11-21* Once I downloaded the game the app crashes and kicked me out ive now tried multiple times and still doesn’t work **Developer response:** Sorry about this NGOH10, could you let us know what device and OS you're running? This is an issue we're looking into. The problem we're having is it works for some people but not all on the same devices. Which makes it harder to isolate and fix the issue. We'll get it though! ### 2/5 — 2 ** *2022-11-17* So far I’m giving you Two stars, will improve if I can play game on iPhone 8 .. application simply goes to dark screen and force closes. **Developer response:** Two stars is quite kind JoshisinDerry, especially if it doesn't open on your iPhone8! Your prob is shared by a few others, so it's one we are working on. Thanks for letting us know. There is a new version of the game being worked on. This problem is on the list. ### 2/5 — Selling players for free *2022-07-31* Whenever I sell one of my players I get no money from it ### 4/5 — Amazing *2022-07-25* I love this game so much, I am so addicted. One thing I would like this game to add is a way to give the youth players new contracts so you can keep your players instead of not being able to renew the contracts so you lose your players once their contract runs out but other than that I love the game ### 3/5 — Good but many bugs *2022-05-11* I’ve enjoyed playing the game but have many questions about how certain metrics affect the game (such as world wide fame). Also there’s a bug that when players reach over 100 overall they’re worth next to nothing. 3.5/5 **Developer response:** Thank you Rolopolo42 for writing this to us. We have an update coming out in a week that fixes these two things specifically, and a bunch more things we saw that needed improving. World wide fame is directly affected by Match mode. Beating the youth academies around the world. Sneak peak - it's soon also going to include making Wunderkidz reach their max potential too. A potential wunderkid is now going to stand out more visibly amongst the rest of the academy recruits, and have higher potential too... Thanks again for playing our game, and for contacting us ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎🏼 *2023-09-30, version 1.16* Just make tournament matches simulation for free. Without any gems or donate ### 1/5 — Unable to launch game at all *2022-12-31, version 1.16* Disappointing ### 1/5 — Baaaaad *2022-12-25* Would be good to review this but it doesn’t even open!! ### 1/5 — Pas fini *2022-12-05, version 1.16* Jeu vrm pas fini, y a pas grand chose de compréhensible ### 1/5 — Impossible de jouer *2022-12-05, version 1.16* Le jeu a l’air d’être bien mais quand on lance l’application, elle se referme directement ### 1/5 — Was heißt clipton *2022-11-30, version 1.16* In Germany we say. Vallah drecks Spiel ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2022-11-27, version 1.16* Ottima idea e concetto di gioco, pessima realizzazione, il gioco surriscalda il telefono, viene reso ingiocabile dalle troppe pubblicità, d'altronde costringendoti, poiché l'avanzamento e già impossibile con l'ausilio delle pubblicità vi lascio immaginare senza... ### 1/5 — 0/100 *2022-11-21, version 1.16* Стандартная помойка, тыкай, клацай, бурда ### 1/5 — Can’t earn money on game *2022-05-04* It says you can earn money through training by getting sponsor but no way to actually get a sponson so therefore upgrading is not really possible **Developer response:** Eadon94, you're right! Typo. Fixed. Nice cheeky catch ### 1/5 — Rigged *2022-05-01, version 1.11* Game broken, avoid ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kmrob22 *2026-06-12* Big improvements from last version. Fun game. My wunderkid is the best! ### 5/5 — Come back please *2024-05-31* Love this game, I just wish it was a little longer or harder and had more in depth gameplay with the ability to restart and make a new academy. I’d also like to be able to see all my players without a rating filter since I’ve gotten two 121 rated players I can’t see. I’d also like the tournaments to be less chance related or at least more like a player on player matchup with a set percentage chance. Overall I love this game and its ideas but it needs to be padded out and not have the goals and goal defense be completely luck based. **Developer response:** Big thanks for your review Hal Tornado! You're right about the issues which we have been finding and fixing. For the tournaments, we have replaced the pure luck based system with a skill requirement (fast Player decision and input). This will make the matches way more fun. Thanks again for your review. We hope we can return to the game full time in future. Currently working on this at nights while supporting ourselves with jobs during a difficult financial climate. ### 5/5 — Really good concept *2023-04-10* I really love the game and think the concept is really fun. I only have one area that I would like to see changed, and that’s the match system. There is a sim function but it costs gems and I’m not a fan of the luck based card system for playing the matches. Other than that the game is excellent and I would definitely recommend it. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot Tom147895632, this was nice to read. We have completely redesigned the match system for the next update because you're right, the luck based card system wasn't great. Especially as the game progresses. The next version involves choices and execution, but still has a rapid pace to it to keep the game flowing. We're hoping to release it beginning of next year, we have been held back by some external factors but still believe in this game. Thanks again for your review + 5 stars ### 5/5 — Immersive and lots to do! *2022-07-27* Game is very immersive with the graphics and sound being top quality, also keeping me engaged longer than other idle games with the amount of activities there are and things to unlock! Cool new take on a football and idle game genres. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot Zaaik! ### 5/5 — Big Improvements! *2022-04-07, version 1.1* Update to graphics look great. Fun game! ### 5/5 — Big update! *2022-04-04, version 1.1* Great to see the new artwork. The match mode feature was worth waiting for! ### 5/5 — Good game overall *2021-07-08, version 1.021* Good idle game with lots of potential ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2021-06-18, version 1.02* Jogo realmente muito bom... aguardando novas atualizações, jogo com um futuro enorme!! Podia futuramente deixar mais realista as transferências, como ofertas de times e olheiros!! ### 4/5 — Good Game but I don’t receive transfer money *2023-07-26* Unique game but when you transfer you don’t get money **Developer response:** That should not have happened, thanks for being generous with the rating anyway, hv112. We now have a huge new update that will have fixed this. ### 4/5 — Great Game, Please Update *2023-07-16* This Youth Academy Game is a great Concept. It’s a really unique idea but it still needs some work. It seems like the developers abandoned the game, but the game would have a lot of potential if they continued to update it. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot Willsoccer5. I can assure you we have not abandoned this game, we're just struggling with funding to spend full-time on this. We're also affected by the world's financial problems it's still experiencing. Many new features are being worked on and coming soon. Hopefully beginning of next year. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
