HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (2991 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.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Too many ads45%

43 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can deal with most in app advertising, but I draw the line with “ad break“ ads where they show them to you every couple of minutes whether you want them or not.
★★★★★ Low stars is because for casual, non paying customers, it's WAY to much clicking, and each level makes the managers more and more unobtainable, forcing you to watch tons of ads or pay.
★★★★★ Forced ads are annoying but especially so when I am on my break and want to play and get forced to watch ads to do so.
Price and subscription19%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Game is fun, very similar to all their other games but with a different packaging. Low stars is because for casual, non paying customers, it's WAY to much clicking, and each level makes the managers more and more…
★★★★★ Just let time go by, collect money, and make upgrades.
★★★★★ Getting 800 coffee takes forever to get autocollect for a single level for a single person
Slow, laggy, battery6%

★★★★★ Too slow and too many ads
★★★★★ Getting 800 coffee takes forever to get autocollect for a single level for a single person

Lost data, sync, backup4%

★★★★★ Sorry, came deleted and I won't come back.
★★★★★ I wanted to like this game more, but I lost interest much earlier than expected.
Worse after an update3%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Eigentlich ist es ein entspanntes Spiel für den Zeit Vertrieb aber seit dem neuen Update öffnet sich bei mir nicht mal mehr die App… sehr schade!!
★★★★★ The update just brought the same 2 or 3 levels recycled endlessly.
★★★★★ Insel alles so unglaublich hoch skaliert hat, als Beispiel, der VIP helicopter hat 2.5 Billionen gebracht, aber ein Update für die Lackiererei 22 Billionen… also, ich kann das Spiel echt nicht empfehlen.
Missing features3%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Is it possible, that there is no option to solve level 122 of the package sorting game?
★★★★★ Fun the first few locations but after even managers you paid for are useless for automation and no way to upgrade with paying $8 per chest for paid manager cards.
★★★★★ ads for literally EVERYTHING…and no way to make them stop….this game is great if you want to be shown games you'd rather play than this one
Crashes and freezes2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Been stuck on Atlas Earth as for over 45 minutes costs 245m plus others
★★★★★ Can't get rid of ads and some ads freezes game.
Limits, credits, locked features2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You get to a point where you have to pay to advance or it takes forever.
★★★★★ That said, the game does deserve credit for being fair to players.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Just wish it had a landing strip so planes wouldn't pile up near the shops 5★, Oct 21, 2026
  • Great game but we need more maps I have been doing the same ones over and over lol and need new levels on the mini games 4★, Sep 20, 2026
  • I would love to see more options to earn coffee mugs tho, as they are the hardest Ressource to earn. 5★, Jun 8, 2026
  • It would be nice if this was fixed. 4★, May 31, 2026
  • That changes in the second part, put if you need a boost or anything, the ads you watch are at least two full minutes long. 1★, May 10, 2026
  • Wish they would give more coffee's when watching an ad for a reward and wish it were easier to level up characters. 3★, May 6, 2026
  • Overall, there are some good ideas here, but the core gameplay needs more variety and a better sense of progress to stay engaging. 2★, Apr 23, 2026

Straight forward

Easy to play. Just wish it had a landing strip so planes wouldn’t pile up near the shops

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
WTH is an “Ad Break”

I can deal with most in app advertising, but I draw the line with “ad break“ ads where they show them to you every couple of minutes whether you want them or not. I was enjoying the game, but there’s not even a paid option to remove them. Sorry, came deleted and I won’t come back.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Level 122 Package sorting impossible

Is it possible, that there is no option to solve level 122 of the package sorting game?

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Pay to win

Wenn du kein Geld investierst kann es ganz schön lange dauern bis du irgendwie mal die Ressourcen ansammelst um die Charaktere aufzuwerten

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
Pay wall bottleneck

Game is fun, very similar to all their other games but with a different packaging. Low stars is because for casual, non paying customers, it’s WAY to much clicking, and each level makes the managers more and more unobtainable, forcing you to watch tons of ads or pay. It just took me 3 days and probably 20-25 ads to clear level 4. Edit: in response to the dev, it’s the constant need for more and more coffee. I finally, after watching tons of ads, get enough coffee to upgrade 2 or 3 of the managers to auto-collect, only to need to level the managers up on the next level again to auto collect. I’m pretty sure it’s either a cooking game or maybe TPB game that you guys do that has a similar mechanic, but done in a more modern player friendly way, at least on Android version.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
