HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1519 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 ads52%

119 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unfortunately tons of ads were introduced along with the standard false advertising AI demo ads which got me to download it again.
★★★★★ Something tries to install a virus on your phone, ads are constant, the multi step process and game within a game system just for a mobile app is absurd.
★★★★★ see an internal add to stop ads, play for 5 minutes then watch another add.
Price and subscription19%

45 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ and battles are a scam just to get people to watch ads.
★★★★★ 2) math is wrong (make a lot less when idle by a factor of 10) this is lying to the player and will be reporting to Google play if not changed 3) events unable to complete without paywall.
★★★★★ It is set up so you have to pay all kinds of money to be able to do anything.
Worse after an update9%

21 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The new update has ruined the game.
★★★★★ was 5 stars till last update left me unable to complete worlds without spending money to level up advisors
★★★★★ The latest update is bad...once again the device restricted the speed of the warehouse transfer bottle necking game speed..
Crashes and freezes8%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Love the game but every 4th ad the game freezes and doesn't give me the reward, I also have to cancel the game and reload, absolute pain in the neck.
★★★★★ it's a fun little game, but I'm stuck on level 12 because I can't get the perfume to go to the storage unit.
★★★★★ the game was freezing and wouldn't let me touch icons after I got to lvl 15.
Lost data, sync, backup7%

16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ They haven't added cloud saving nor a restore purchases option so they stole my money without giving me my purchases.
★★★★★ while its technically true you can also play on a pc with google play games, it doesnt sync your account, so you start at the beginning on every device.
★★★★★ also there's no save function so if you reinstall the app you lose everything.
No customer support6%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've told them about my save AND my real money bought purchases disappearing but they've done nothing in over a YEAR since my first contact with them.
★★★★★ Ads do not work, when contacting support they just say they will pass the information on with no real solution or an in-game gift for the inconvenience.
★★★★★ horrible customer service.
Wrong or poor results6%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ total fake just to try to get people to buy packs and watch ads to beat something that is completely rigged.
★★★★★ 2) math is wrong (make a lot less when idle by a factor of 10) this is lying to the player and will be reporting to Google play if not changed 3) events unable to complete without paywall.
★★★★★ Don't waste your time with the "bonus" game against competitors; the computer opponents are so aggressive and obviously fake, you'll never keep up.
Bugs, things not working5%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ possible if he had a lot of things connected to his city, but he only has 1 base building (upgraded but still) to the city since I have broken all other connections.
★★★★★ Battle Mode is broken in my opinion.
★★★★★ The game is constantly glitching.

Looks great2%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I dislike some interface issues (randomly buying hexes when scrolling, which in PvP are extremely expensive, especially when saving up to buy back infrastructure an opponent stole.
★★★★★ Having said that I deducted a star because the game is a little overly aggressive with pop ads for in-app purchases, and the UI gets cluttered with the icons tempting you to buy.
★★★★★ this game is very beautiful for the students
Great support1%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ extra star because the developer responded to my review.

What users say

Latest reviews, United States Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

Fun but can't continue. Everyone else can except me. The level where the rocket needs resources but you CAN'T transport over water! So millions build cuz you can't transport over water. Uninstall soon.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

Singleplayer is cozy but was getting expensive time-wise, and while offline wares do not stack (but money certainly does). The PvP mode is deeply unsatisfying to me. I dislike some interface issues (randomly buying hexes when scrolling, which in PvP are extremely expensive, especially when saving up to buy back infrastructure an opponent stole. Randomly buying a 1.8 hex instead of just looking around while saving up for a 3.6) as well as highly intrusive tutorials that can't be referenced later.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

it cool

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Played and finished this game years ago but it looks like they gave it a makeover. Unfortunately tons of ads were introduced along with the standard false advertising AI demo ads which got me to download it again. Didn't even finish the tutorial level before uninstalling. The old version was better.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Something tries to install a virus on your phone, ads are constant, the multi step process and game within a game system just for a mobile app is absurd. One of the versus events is definitely against bots with no chance of gaining anything from it without micro transactions.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

watch a 3 minute ad for a 2 minute boost. then get a forced ad. see an internal add to stop ads, play for 5 minutes then watch another add. the mini games are unplayable without watching many, many adds or $$. other than the ads, and the clutter around the screen. its a compelling little game

Store description

ARE YOU RESOURCEFUL ENOUGH TO BUILD A WHOLE WORLD? 🌍 It’s all about supply chains in this fun idle world-building simulator game where the aim is to develop all of human civilization one hex at a time. Log, mine, craft and process raw materials to earn coins, then use them to upgrade your facilities and expand your profits so you can open up more land, unlocking entire continents and eventually the whole wide world. If you’re looking for a fun builder game with some complex strategy elements and satisfying challenges, then download States Builder now and start building your worldwide business empire. 🪵 GET LOGGING: It all starts with wood – you cut trees to sell at market, then soon you’ll be able to afford a logging mill and a board factory. As you progress through the game, you’ll open up all sorts of other resources that can be processed in a variety of different ways. 🧬 FEED THE CHAIN: Processed resources take longer to produce, but also make you more money. Use strategy to work out the best way to maximize your profits in the game by building varied supply chains, then watch the coins come pouring in. 🔝 IMMEDIATE RETURNS: Spend profit on upgrading facilities on the map to increase your income in your current level. Each mine and processing facility has six levels, each of which increases productivity and profit. Adapt your strategy to make profits as fast as possible and move on to the next level of the game. 💰 INVEST IN THE FUTURE: You can also buy upgrades for resource production speed and greater profit. Upgrades apply to all facilities producing one type of material, and also carry across levels in the game, so you get to keep the benefits. 🏔 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Divert resources to equip and launch exploration balloons that will scout out new lands. Each time a balloon is launched in the game, you get coin and crystal bonuses. 📍 DISCOVER NEW LANDS: Once you’ve opened every hex in an area, you’ll need to save up coins to unlock the next area. Who knows what resources you’ll find when you discover new lands? 🚀 WE HAVE LIFT OFF: When you’ve unlocked every hex on a continent, you’ll find a rocket. Fuel it up with resources to complete the level, then blast off to a new virgin continent with new resources to mine and craft, and start building all over again. BUILDER, INDUSTRIALIST, TYCOON From a small single settlement, through a developed town, to a fantastic industrial civilization with your own spaceship, in States Builder you get to build your way through human history and watch as your whole planet becomes a hive of industry. If you enjoy strategy games and would like the chance to build your own world, then install States Builder now.
