★★★★★ "This game changed so much since when I played.. The game has changed so much, tons of features and items that were available for free are now costing 10 dollars. I remember when you could craft as many chests as you want, it’s now 11 dollars just to get more than one. This game like a lo…" - so cool it's so good

Game is a paywall
The whole game is locked behind a paywall if you want more then 1 chest it’s $8 if you want more slots in your backpack it’s $11 everything is paywalled you can’t collect anything cause you won’t even have enough space
The game forces you to pay a subscription
I just wanna play the game
To many ads
Spent 3mins to try get rid of ads. Not able to get out of page of ads. Uninstall along with pay to win game.
I could not play
I got the game and I had to pay for it so then I got raft survival online and it cost money to so can you please make the game free
This game changed so much since when I played.
The game has changed so much, tons of features and items that were available for free are now costing 10 dollars. I remember when you could craft as many chests as you want, it’s now 11 dollars just to get more than one. This game like a lot of other games are now pay to win, having the base game being boring and having not any much features and things to do compared to the old version.
WATCH OUT SHARK COMES FOR YOUR WALLET
My child played this game once. Somehow, that resulted in her racking up at least $50 in subscription fees from this. I believe it was a trial then defaults to a $49.99 annual subscription . DO NOT DOWNLOAD, there are other fish in the sea that are a lot more fun. Plays a game, deems it boring, pays $50?! Ridiculous.
Ugh disappointed
Would give less stars if possible. Couldn’t even fully download to play it due to it being to 60/year to play..
Didn’t work
It just didn’t work it was on the loading screen forever.
Bad because it costs money and my family is broke so please
Make it free ok oj
WHY DID IT HAVE TO DO THIS
So basically I got this game because its ratings were all good, but then when I got into the game it said I had to PAY to play it like what are we doing?!? Like you made me install this and now I have to pay?!? ABSOLUTELY NOT
Not the best
This game used to be so much better but when I downloaded it it was subpar at best and was super laggy.
1 star
You need to pay to play the game
Do not download
This game does not load
Not recommended :(
Can’t load I been waiting one hour never loaded :(
Whyyyy
So it’s cost money to play I’m not rich 1 dollar a week like
Please read
Why do you have to pay at the start like bro I don’t even want to pay and I read the reviews and they said it was a good game but I can’t play it because the money I just don’t want to pay
Paid
You literally have to pay just to play the game, the same goes for every raft game
Do not buy with real money on this game
I played with real money and I got scammed 4.37 dollars. This is a good game but just do not buy from this game
This is not the Steam game
Buyer beware. This looks like the Steam game, Raft, by Redbeet Interactive, but it is not. It looks like a copy, but monetized with a subscription.
DO NOT GET
Everything needs a ridiculous amount of time and is so annoying.
I’m not paying for a game that was once free
Dude the game doesn’t need a subscription just to play a game that WAS FREE.
I don’t like this game
It made me pay to play the game
Bruh
$60 a year for a mobile game is crazy work
Subscription screen not passable
Make the subscription screen passable without any consent just free to play without having to activate the free trial
Scammers
I got the free trial and wanted to try the game and I didn’t want on my phone within a hour and I seen they charged me 10$ ..Straight scam and lots of ads on the game..give me my money back please
WASTE OF TIME
Don’t waste your time downloading this garbage. The game says free in the App Store but once you open it, it’s locked behind a Subscription Paywall. What a Ripoff. You developers should be ashamed advertising it as free when it’s absolutely NOT!!! 🤬
Horrible
The game won’t even load into the game all it says is “loading game scene”
Have to pay to play
Sucks!!! Can’t play it unless you pay for annual or weekly.
Pay to play
I installed it went to play and it wouldn’t let me leave the screen that makes you pay I’m not paying 60$ a year to play a game I could buy on my pc for cheaper
You have to pay
I can’t get pass the pay for subscription screen unless I pay for one of them. I see the reviews they answer saying “you can play the game for free” but I notice they don’t explain how you can get back to the free part and not have to get a subscription
BRO WHAT IS THIS
YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THE GAME INSIDE AND IT DOES NOT SHOW AN OPTION TO PLAY FOR FREE WITH ADS. IF YOU SHOW ME A WAY TO GET IN I WILL NOT BE NEGATIVE ABOUT THE GAME.
Pay to Win
I fear this game is now a pay to win. I got bored of the games on my phone and went back to old ones I played years ago, including Raft Survival. I couldn’t continue after a couple days because you couldn’t upgrade/have multiple chests nor can you cook/create/smelt more than two things at a time without paying. My inventory was over flowing because, even after you use the in game gold, you have to choose whether to have spare armor/weapons from islands or materials, you physically can’t have both.
Pay to play
This ga,e sucks it makes you get a subscription to play
донатнаяпомойка
без доната игра превращается в настоящее мучение, слотов не хватает, нет нормального гринда без доната. каждое действие в игре подталкивает к покупке, играть в это смысла не вижу от слова совсем, даже удовольствие эти покупки не принесут, надеюсь их контора обанкротится
Rubbish
You can’t play without paying or subscribing? Why would I pay before I even know if I will enjoy the game? I read reviews and it was indicated a free version is available, sure would like to know how to access this version.
Not free. You need to pay for atleast trial.
Uninstalled the app. Paid app. Not free
Money grabbing game
Before can ever even get into the game, they require you to make a purchase… if you don’t you can’t proceed past that point. In such a case they need to just charge for the game in the store as it’s no longer an “option” not to buy it in game. 1/5 star rating
Stop being thieves
Yall are funny the game says free but if you tap on the app and try to get in they try and force you to get a dumb membership just to play the game I will not be paying 12 or a 100 bucks for your thieving game tysm
This is crazy
Dude I can’t even play it for free I remember when this game was free to play
Pay to play?
Opening the game you must pay either 12$/week or 50$/year to play the game. Absolutely ridiculous DO NOT EVEN WASTE TIME DOWNLOADING
CANNOT PLAY WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION 😡😡😡
Ridiculous that you must pay $11.99 PER WEEK to play??!? INSANE!!!!! You cannot even TRY the game without even signing up for a subscription!!! WHAT A RIP OFF!
Great game
I wish that iOS people don’t have to pay the thing but it’s still a great game and I played this when I was younger
Disappointing game
I saw this game on an advertisement and I played the ad for hours! I loved it so much I decided to download it but I’m not about to pay $50 a year or $12 a week just for some little game! Thank you for listening!😡
收费标准
你一个手游还不是永久买断的？竟然还是每年收费的！你自己玩吧。不推荐
Paying
It’s making me pay for a subscription whenever I first download it and I just want to play the game.
I can’t play it it cost money
When I whent to play it I need to have a subscription 😡
RIPPED OFF AFTER CANCELING
My child wanted to try this so we did the trial period. I canceled and was still charged. I’ve been having trouble getting the refund and that’s just bad business.
Lame runaround
Sure, decent game. But the constant need to fight the paywall is going to make me delete this game. Why cant I just play and start without having to accept and cancel a subscriptionz
It doesn’t let me play the game
I downloaded the game, thinking it would be fun, but I tried to play the game, but I couldn’t play wants me to get a subscription
Ads
theres so many ads about buying stuff and it gets to a point where i dont even want to play anymore. Great game besides the add and promotions though.
