HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (775 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Stop forcing me to spend money I don't want to spend, I'm not ready for a second auditorium yet and the game forced me to buy it.

★★★★★ No forced ads, but after a certain point watching lots of ads is required to progress in the game

Slow, laggy, battery4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game looked great and Is great in theory; However, the slow rate of earning money and the insanely high prices to purchase anything and having to watch more time in ads than actual gameplay time is not worth it to…
★★★★★ Honestly, the game needs to update with more to do. Gets stale from their capping of what you can do. Honestly, under developed.
★★★★★ It just shows a loading animation anytime I've tried watching an ad while at home.

★★★★★ I've been playing for about a month or so and lol in all I do actually like the game, but to say you have limited ways to get gold coins but you need them for mostly all of the transactions makes it difficult and…
★★★★★ This was a fun game and I enjoyed playing it for a bit. I spent money to upgrade and to bypass the ads. Very much worth it at first. I then got halfway through the second level. Have millions of coins, but there is…
★★★★★ prob the most boring game ever u basically have to pay money to go anywhere.

  • P.S please make more games like these 5★, Jan 13, 2025

★★★★★ Can't get the buffering from getting new movies to work I can't get free movies to upgrade my other movies
★★★★★ I don't mind them having the app purchases since it is a free game and it's actually very fun but the problem is it takes away from the actual game when they're all over the screen with different offers.
