HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (79 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.

Price and subscription11%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It became a money grabbing game instead of a good game like dungeon hunter 4, 4 was the peak best.
★★★★★ Did I just waste money on this app?
★★★★★ I think if you add more features it'll actually be worth the money.
Lost data, sync, backup4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Poor execution 👎🏻 Update*** same day: I deleted the apps.
★★★★★ And he will be gone for HOURS.
★★★★★ By the time I come back to the game, I've lost track of the story and have to back up and reread.
Slow, laggy, battery4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is such a slow paced game, and the quippy commentary makes no sense.
★★★★★ It is just SO incredibly slow because you progress in, maybe, two-second intervals between Taylor being busy doing something and going away.
★★★★★ Okay, I'm a VERY old school gamer, and when I read that this was a 'text adventure' game I got VERY excited, as I was hoping for something similar to what I'd played in my youth. This is NOT that. For all I know,…
Wrong or poor results4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Pathetic that they still sell a useless app with no indication that it's not working anymore.
★★★★★ I'm rather disappointed that now this app is almost useless
★★★★★ I'm sure it's a great game as the reviews have said but it's useless to me as I bought it with every intention on playing it on my new Apple Watch.
Too many ads2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Every time I open the app up there is full screen ads on a game I paid for
★★★★★ The anti-climatic ending also attempts to coerce you into signing up to receive ads for further games.
No customer support2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I got this for my APPLE WATCH but it looks like y'all stopped updating it 3 years ago so it doesn't support my watch .
★★★★★ It's like being in contact with a bratty millennial rather than an astronaut.

  • I really wish you could play this game simultaneously on iPhone and Apple Watch. 5★, Sep 28, 2020

  • It's not too late now, so could you please give me a Korean translation version? 5★, Jul 24, 2020
  • On an unrelated note, I like the atmospheric music, and I wish there was a feature for me to play it while my phone is locked, so that I can listen to it while falling asleep, maybe thinking about how Taylor is such an… 3★, Jun 30, 2020

★★★★★ I don't think I'll get the second game because of the reviews of it being short and not mentioning Taylor but this was still a fun adventure!
★★★★★ They're fun and really well written!
★★★★★ I've played this at least twice before, and now that I'm learning another language, it's fun to play in the new language as well!
Worth the money4%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This was one of the first mobile apps I ever owned on my own phone (back when it was, if I remember correctly, free, since I was twelve and had no job to pay for silly phone games), and no matter how many times I…
★★★★★ I found this game when it first came out back when I was in high school, it was the free game of the week in the App Store and within a few hours all of my friends were invested in the story as well.
★★★★★ Worth every virtual penny!
Fast4%

14 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ And I like the fact that you can just kinda take your time he'll send you a text and then he'll be off doing something and it's not a Constant thing, unless you decided to turn on fast mode
★★★★★ The game is a lot of fun and a quick distraction but I have no idea why the developers chose to ding my watch and my phone 5 to 10 times for every sentence that Taylor types.
★★★★★ Starts out kinda slow, but you'll get pulled in pretty quick.
Accurate, great results3%

13 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Well worth the time for this quality gameplay!
★★★★★ It gives you a chance to get away from the game for a bit, and when you are playing it goes through real time, and paints a picture in your mind of the surroundings. It's fun and interactive

I still haven’t completed the game before what I’ve been playing. It’s a really great game.

Faz anos que quero jogar esse jogo, porém só tem em inglês…

★★★★★Sep 21, 2026
Great story!

Honestly, this has a really good story and different endings depending on how you choose so that’s super cool to see how your decisions change the end result. I don’t think I’ll get the second game because of the reviews of it being short and not mentioning Taylor but this was still a fun adventure!

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
Thought I’d already reviewed this!

This is, by far, one of my favorite games. I own every one of the Lifeline games and have played them all multiple times. They’re fun and really well written! I hope there are more on the horizon :)

★★★★★Aug 30, 2026
Worth playing and replaying!

I’ve played this at least twice before, and now that I’m learning another language, it’s fun to play in the new language as well! The main character is easy to get attached to, the story and its sequels are fun, and it turns out it has several language options! Can’t wait to play it again!

Great Game

I really enjoy this game. I especially like how the game is 100% accessible for VoiceOver. Also, Also, when I'm playing this game, I feel like I'm actually talking to a person on a moon far away which is really cool. I also like the music and sound effects.
