★★★★ Wesley Berryman 5/8/2026 v2.42.9
it was more of a four but after the last update what is with all of the silly music?? I enjoyed the game before all of that. there are entirely way too many ads now. I play a level then there is an ad. then I come back for the next level get started then there's another ad before I can actually play. what gives?
★★★★ Christopher McNeil 5/8/2026
Absolute ad cancer.
★★★★ Aiden Bennett 5/7/2026 v2.42.9
They only care about pushing ads on you every 2 minutes.
★★★★ MOHAMMAD ANAS 5/7/2026
it contains adds .. worst app dont install
★★★★ Hardiksinh Rayjada 5/7/2026
game is soo bhangya jevi game hai ramtina nahi 😐
★★★★ Jacqueline Tracey 5/7/2026 v2.42.9
there was too many ads and I think there is bots in this game and I got an ad every 10 seconds and I think you should improve your work instead of having it in 10 seconds of each ad I don't like it so I'm giving this a one-star review
★★★★ Rowan Leaf 5/6/2026 v2.42.9
Ads literally every minute and the game is kinda glitchy
★★★★ JOHNNY KEEN 5/6/2026 v2.42.9
up until the update y'all decided to take out the Best part of the whole game I would have given your app a 4 Star review but not now it's not even worth playing now and it's a ton of space to even have now almost 1 and a half GB really and that's After you took the best part out
★★★★ Bossyoutuber00 5/6/2026 v2.13.0
Now it shows video ads with unmutable audio WHILE you play. Update: Now more ads than gameplay and they disable the game if you turn off mobile data.
★★★★ Cherrie Bombe 5/6/2026 v2.41.11
I want this piece of garbage game off my computer, it glitches, pauses, it is unplayable and pathetic
★★★★ Michael Williams 5/6/2026
Started out as a fun game, then I was locked out of playing offline unless I paid, then the game has ad breaks during the game. Uninstalled game, I'd give it zero stars if I could.
★★★★ R.V.Ramanamurthy murthy 5/6/2026
to many ads
★★★★ Ahad Bin Saeed 5/6/2026 v2.42.9
Dude why did you changed the voice of eating you removed the dinosaurs sounds😕💔💔 am not happy with the game after all that changes 😣💔
★★★★ jerico arenas 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
1% game 99% ads SMH!
★★★★ D. Roman 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
Good game but omg!!! Ads non stop and can't even play the game 20 seconds without an Ad!!!!!!
★★★★ Luis F 5/5/2026
This game went downhill FAST. The ads are ridiculous. You can't play an entire round without the game forcing a break time for an ad.
★★★★ Manoj Sundi 5/5/2026
This game is an abandoned project. Developers have already given up on it and instead of making it into a fun game that could be worth paying for they made it into an ad fest. There's literally a timer for when the next ad will be shown and I practically saw 8 ads within 10 minutes of playing this.
★★★★ Stephen Breeden 5/5/2026
adds every almost every time you level up whatsoever
★★★★ Shawnna Dillon 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
the ads are absolutely insane!!! this should be called ad.io not hole.io. I'm seriously not exaggerating there is an ad every minute I would love this game if it wasn't for the ridiculous amount of ads
★★★★ John Atti 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
2020: This is a really fun game, but there's no sound. The browser version, in my opinion, is slightly better, but even without sound, this is a nice way to spend a few minutes. Feels like a mini Katamari game. 2025 update: still no sound. Very weird. 2026: sound, but the ad breaks are intrusive and take several minutes to click out of. there's no obvious x.
★★★★ Wolf Steele 5/5/2026 v2.41.11
This could be such a fun game, but the ads are outright predatory and disgustingly over the top. Forces you to play online when its an offline game, forced ads at the end of a game and MULTIPLE forced ads IN THE MIDDLE of the game? What the actual hell is wrong with the devs? And $15 to pay to remove ads when most other games are not even half that cost. Frankly i dont believe paying for ads would remove all of them either. Not to mention the amount of paywalled content. Absolutely foul decision
★★★★ Tohidul Alam 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
play this game❌ watch ads✅
★★★★ Zachary Moore 5/5/2026 v2.27.11
this game used to be a fun way to pass time. now it's just like every other garbage game out there. I liked gobbling up buildings and other players but then it was all changed. you should di better devs
★★★★ Tyler Garoutte 5/5/2026
The older versions from APKPure are many times better than whatever the hell this game has turned into. There's more ads than actual gameplay, which warrants an automatic 1 star for me. You also can't play this offline, despite having zero multiplayer mode that isn't with bots. But we all know it's just an excuse to shove ads in our face every microsecond of our time. Also, from other reviews I've read, the $10(!!!) No ADs thing doesn't actually remove all ADs. Avoid at all costs.
★★★★ AKHILESH KUMAR 5/5/2026 v2.42.9
i don, t love this game because it has add break
★★★★ Tasnem Her 5/5/2026
اللعبه فسوه
★★★★ Adam Nance 5/4/2026 v2.42.9
forced advertisements every 60 seconds of game time is actually just insane. it's a fun enough game on the rare instances you're allowed to play it. wish the developers cared more about the game play experience than engineering something that drives as many ads at you as possible. it's almost unplayable unless you pay to have the ads removed.
★★★★ James Bond 5/4/2026 v2.42.9
ADS!! from 5 star to 1. this used to be a great game until they added 1 ad per minute and a lot of the ads crash the game. Its unplayable. and the price to remove ads is ludicrous. shame on these game makers for selling out. I wish negative stars were an option.
★★★★ Jared Miller 5/4/2026
this "game" completely sucks. it is not challenging whatsoever and just uses easy levels to push nonstop ads.
★★★★ Holli Martin 5/4/2026 v2.42.9
break time is such a dumb idea. why do I have to forcefully watch an ad when I'm in the middle of a level? plus this game isn't like other .io games. this game is just ad slop. PLUS the ads are ALWAYS clickbaity. also .io games actually have REAL PLAYERS but this one is just bots. uninstalling.
★★★★ Nothing 5/4/2026 v2.42.9
Really good ads, but the only complain I have is that from once every while I get to play the game which ruins my ad watching Expirence, so 1 star rating , hipe the devs fix it :)
★★★★ Kris Strehlow 5/4/2026
Garbage
★★★★ Ashton Cothern 5/4/2026
Terrible
★★★★ Lori French 5/4/2026 v2.42.9
Not worth your time. The game is designed to make you fail.
★★★★ Temitope Owoeye 5/4/2026
ads every minute, even during the game
★★★★ Green Drygan 5/3/2026 v2.42.9
0 stars if possible. ads literally every minute and each of them take 2-6 x to press to close them. no offline play either. going to YouTube to play this is infinitely better.
★★★★ Debargho 5/3/2026 v2.42.9
Too Many Adds, made the game unplayable
★★★★ Howard Archer 5/3/2026 v2.42.9

★★★★ Domed GMNG 5/2/2026
I used to love this game. Downloaded it again just to check it out. Love the new graphics and gameplay, but the ads are OUT OF CONTROL. Several per level. Entirely unnecessary. Very disappointing, uninstalled
★★★★ William George 5/2/2026 v2.42.9
