HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (24 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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 ads33%

28 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You think you you're playing a free game with ads but the full version is $55.
★★★★★ I paid to remove ads and support the devs.
★★★★★ Mediocre at best, permanent advert at top of screen after level 8.
Price and subscription18%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Some game modes require nanites to switch between towers but the only way to get some is by watching ads or purchasing the nanites with real money.
★★★★★ But you need to pay money or watch very long ads to use these.
★★★★★ the game is awful in every way and it keeps asking if I would like to give them money
Bugs, things not working17%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ One stage was impossible, and some were possible only because of bugs.
★★★★★ Very poorly put together, as it has bugs and flaws cause the game keeps going out or interrupted by a message that says there is a bug in game and this has been happening for a very long time like years and still it…
★★★★★ Found a glitch on level nine that makes it impossible to lose,but it doesn't let you progress to the next level.
Crashes and freezes6%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ was fun but now it crashes all the time
★★★★★ Game crashed after level 5 too.
★★★★★ Even if u start doing well the game will crash everytime with a bug.
Lost data, sync, backup4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Found a glitch on level nine that makes it impossible to lose,but it doesn't let you progress to the next level.
★★★★★ Also sometimes get "glitches" where towers will ignore set strategy (ie fire on creeps closest to reactor) and instead fire on immune creeps causing you to lose the level - and have to watch more ads.

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ But you need to pay money or watch very long ads to use these.
★★★★★ Limited towers, boring level design.
Missing features2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ No way to make meaningful progress, beating levels only unlocks more levels.
★★★★★ Also, there's no option to disable vibrate

Fast2%

8 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The waves come fast and it is not as chill as I would like but it is still better than most I find to download

★★★★★ Very smooth game, the speed and the flowing is very natural
