Buggy and ad laden
It's a decently designed time waster but some of the ads don't have a functional exit button. Sometimes you have to click through 3-4 popups before you can get to the app.
To slow
Ad was way better
Unprecedented amount of ads
Boring and simple enough for a turtle to play.
Can’t even play
I tried to download and play. To be clear everything works as intended….after my 30th pop up I deleted the app.
Ads
Use to be fun. But now you open the app and before you can click anything you're bombarded with Ads and Offers. All this extra junk is so, extra....
Bug
I can’t enter the game because I cannot press the claim reward for playing Idle Miner. I’m on an iPad and it won’t work which makes it unplayable. Had this glitch for a while and it better be fixed because I really wanna play this game.
Too needy
The game is fun once you get past the 20+ pop ups begging for money. It’s a sign of desperation and pathetic. One or two is understandable but this is too much.
Super intrusive ads
I’d rather it cost a dollar than spam ads at my face.
Bad
Do you know how many times I watched a video to get double what was mined while I was away from game, like overnight??? And you don’t get it at all….All the time, every day at least once usuallly more, hard to advance when you get scammed out of your goods.
Too many buy me prompts
Deleted wanted to play not pay
Problem with this app
Only download 8% , won’t open
Cool game way too many pop ups
I enjoy the progression, it’s a dumb phone game but it’s cool to watch the numbers go up and it’s engaging enough with progression.
What kills any semblance of enjoyment is if you go more than a day without logging on to just check in on your mines it pops up -I’m not exaggerating- 5 to 10 pop ups for events and things you can buy. It’s beyond obnoxious and makes me usually just click off. Prolly gonna uninstall soon

I can’t click awesome so, I can’t play the game
Fix it
Where is it
This game is bad the og one. Idle Mining Empire is the best throw one is unneeded and more of a waste of time if u read this make one like Idle Mining Empire it’s more fun and less annoying
Pop opps
To many pop ups bro love the game but the pop ups ruin it like no i dont want to buy anything dang
All adds
I can’t play this anymore because I spend more time clicking out of adds then actually playing the game. You think your done with the pop up adds then when you click something it brings back up the same adds and new ones and most of them are for you to buy stuff or subscriptions in game!
Boring!
Super boring! You're either doing nothing but watching ads or watching an elevator go up and down a mine shaft. The interaction of actual game play is lacking and way too many ads
Predatory Ads
The ads on this game are super predatory. I really enjoyed it. However the ads they use (which are optional) are extremely predatory. They push monetary or ad options on you constantly which is not great but not the worst but then when you watch the ads they are terrible.
They don’t let you skip when it shows the skip option and they don’t let you close the ads. When you close and ad it actually takes you to the ads page instead and doesn’t give you the reward making you stuck in a cycle of trying to close the ad, not closing it but taking you to the page, and you’re back again stuck. They want to make money sure. But the player is not taken into account. They are farming you for money with no consideration to you at all. Everything they do is predatory and is a scam to get you to generate them as much money as possible.

Deleting
The elevator only hold a certain amount. No matter how many barriers you open it doesnt go past the third floor. So all the other floors just have money sitting that you can’t get to. I’m deleting this app.
Adds
After I installed this game all that’s popping up is adds in the game for me trying to buy stuff in the game. Your can hardly play the game without adds popping up trying to take your money. Don’t fall for it it’s a scam.
Glitches
Half the time I use tickets or anything the game glitches and I never get my rewards
More ads than gameplay
Great gameplay, but you have to go through lots of 1 minute ads to make decent game progress. If it wasn’t for all the ads, it would be very good.
Sucks
I got tired of clicking a pop up every godamn 2 seconds for 2 minutes straight every time I wanted to collect my cash
Horrible updates
Tried to go on after update and it took 15 pop ups to get to the game. Not going through that. Make an option to not get pop ups.
Ads!!
Fun game but every time I open the app I get bombarded with EVERY SINGLE AD IN THE GAME!!! it’s ridiculously annoying. Put a few. Doesn’t have to be 20 every single time. Smh
False advertisement
I did not enjoy Idle Miner because the game’s advertising felt extremely misleading and frustrating. One of the main reasons I downloaded and tried it was because it clearly advertised that I would receive 200 Super Cash for logging into Facebook and connecting my account. I followed the instructions exactly as shown, made an account, logged into Facebook, and did everything the game asked me to do, only for it to immediately give me an “error occurred” message the moment I tried to claim the reward. After that, the reward screen disappeared and I was no longer able to retry, reclaim it, or even attempt the login reward again. This made the whole thing feel like false advertising, because the game used the promise of a reward to get me to create an account and connect my Facebook, then failed to deliver what was clearly offered. It was incredibly frustrating to go through the extra steps of linking personal accounts just to be met with an unexplained error and no solution afterward. If the reward is being advertised, players should actually receive it, or at the very least be given a working way to claim it if something goes wrong. Instead, it felt deceptive and left a bad first impression, which made the game much harder to enjoy.
Won’t load
It’s stuck at 8%, but when it did load, I enjoyed it!
Ads
There are too many ad pop ups when opening the game. It’s so annoying to where I don’t want to play anymore.
2star
Even though I was connected to iCloud, everything in my account was gone when I deleted and reinstalled the game. Although the game is nice, I give it 2 stars because all my progress was lost despite being connected.
this is a good game but WAY TO MANY POP UPS
my guy at least 5 pop ups come up every time i scroll and don’t get me started if your a noob at least 30 every button you click
