ARK: Survival Evolved for Negative User Reviews
✓ EhI tried downloading it and I went onto the app and it showed the logo but then black screen and then kicked me out so one star.Version: 1.1.21
✓ Main MenuThe main menu will not load. I gave it more than enough time and nothing. At first Ark has the loading screen then it goes black. And no the iPad did not turn off..Version: 1.0.57
✓ I would recommend playing only on single player...I’ve played ark since the beginning almost and to see a product like this more advanced that it was when it was on pc at one point is astounding. But. It leaves me to the reason I give a one star review. Time after time the community has begged and pleaded for a better system of servers. Instead we get server deletes on both the mobile and console versions for a fact. I gave up on console when the at the time new server switch ability lost my long beloved Lilith. A character that to this day I will never be able to replicate in an official pvp server. Months of my life devoted to ark lost in seconds. Now I move the mobile and find that there are half as many if less servers than when I first tried to play at release. I’m not able to connect to any of them at all... if I do it’s into a highly volatile server where alphas remain more toxic than any thing I’ve ever encountered in a pvp game. Not citadel, rust or ark on pc on console. So I leave this to you. Invest in better servers with the money we give you, and quit releasing dlc when in fact the game is not truly finished. It’s been constantly added to and the real issue we all have is connectivity. Lost tames, inventories or even bases due to this. And while seemingly pointless. These are hours of our lives devoted into your product. With love A long time fan.Version: 2.0.16
✓ DEVELOPER PLEASE READHi, this game is great but if you could please take my advice or fix these things I’m sure it would make the game MUCH more enjoyable. First of all I really think there should be an option to create a private game to just play with friends, that would be AWESOME. Also I once teleported from a bed to another and I lost ALL my blueprints. The god board looks like a really cool feature but it’s expensive, if it could just cost amber or be lower in price that would be much more enjoyable. When you breed tames and there a breeding cool down, I expected it to keep going once your offline but once I came back and it was still were it was when I left. All out this game is great and if these were fixed I’m sure a lot of people would be very happy..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Come to ark if you enjoy racism!Thought hard before leaving this review and I think it needs to be pointed out. As it’s an iPhone game it has its usual bugs etc I understand that. I play on pvp eu servers as I am from the uk. There are people from all over the world on the server that’s fine everyone gets on really well in the server chat, there’s people speaking English, Spanish, French etc etc but most people speak English as it seems to be the easiest way to communicate. It’s all very friendly... until people from China come online.. they racially abuse anyone speaking English, Iv seen this in several servers they use what I guess is google translate to use racial slurs towards anyone that’s not Chinese usually aimed towards English people or white people Iv seen about 20 people (im guessing younger people) leave the game because of it it’s disgusting. Why can they access eu servers if they are just going to abuse us Such a shame.Version: 1.0.92
✓ THIS GAME IS FULL OF HACKERSI do not recomend playing this game.Version: 2.0.26
✓ GarbageControls are bad and it’s impossible to get anywhere without dying every 2 min. Even on easy it’s impossible unless your a jobless loser..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Unable to openI recently downloaded this game on an iPhone 6s but I cannot open it. I click on the game, it opens to the welcome screen and then it crashes and closes. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it, clearing more storage on my iPhone and powering off my phone. I have the most recent update of the app. I’m quite disappointed and hopefully this issue will resolve quickly..Version: 2.0.07
✓ Not compatibleIt is not compatible with an iPhone 6. Please make a version available for an iPhone 6.Version: 1.1.19
✓ My dead hamster runs faster than multiplayerThis game is overall a very fun and addicting game, and I have no problems with singleplayer at all. However, I’m not sure if this is just the issue of the server itself, but for some reason, the game randomly lags and even crashes during multiplayer, and especially at the worst times. For example when I am flying and the game crashes, it means my player would not respawn on the mount, and becomes seriously injured or even dies from falling from a big height. This still happened even at the lowest graphic settings possible, and occurred at least 50 times today. Before you guys say anything, I run this game on a 64GB iPhone XR, and there shouldn’t be a reason why a game that only takes up 1.85GB of storage would abruptly lag and/or crash during multiplayer sessions. However, getting rid of any other running apps on my device seems to reduce the problem, but even that doesn’t do anything to prevent any game crashes. In conclusion, the game is a wonderful game with a lot of potential from its original PC counterpart, and I understand that the devs are working their hardest to solve any issues present in the game. But this review will be staying like this until I stop lagging for no reason in multiplayer and end up dying because the game crashed at the worst timing possible. I already lost two important dinosaurs because of these stupid crashes..Version: 1.1.06.1
✓ Hackers are everywhereLiterally all official servers are plagued with hackers to the point they actually out number legit players 3-1 if not more..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Brilliant game - very glitchy.I’ve been playing this game properly for the last couple of days & it did take me long until I grew to love the game, it’s very addictive. Vast amounts to do for survival, copious beats & animals to kill or tame, it’s a well thought out & designed game. I’d say it’s basically taking the theme of The Sims 2 Castaway - with dinos & adding some aspect of online games such as Elder Scrolls. It’s generally a very entertaining game. I have to deduct 2 stars because without a shadow of a doubt, the game crashes on me about 5 times a day. It’s the laggiest game I’ve played, but for an online game in iOS - I expected as such & lagging I can cope with, but the game crashes & closes on me a lot. Making the game somewhat unenjoyable as by the time I log back in I’ve lost everything, tamed animal killed & all. It’s happened to often. No other game or app does this on my phone, it’s a shame as this ruins what would be a pretty near perfect game, in my opinion..Version: 2.0.09
✓ I like the game but…. It’s so annoyingI really like the game and I think they have done really well for an app. But the download is massive and the updates are massive. It’s a money bin, but there is no value for money, no help with problems. You grind to death and some hacker comes along and takes everything, but they do nothing. It’s not cool. Sometimes some of the finer things can be hard to achieve on an iPhone and its buggy, so the game frequently lags out and drops you, if you happened to be carrying an Anky full of metal at the time on your quetz or argie, good lucky finding either of them alive again. Unless off, you pay ludicrous amounts of money for the collars, in which case you might find them again, or they might get killed and you lose premium items. Official is toxic and unofficial can be great, it depends on the owner, sometime they start great but become toxic. For the money they get, they offer little. But the concept is good..Version: 2.0.26
✓ BrokeGame is broke for me I can get in any game modes…. Canada should have a server so we can play.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Love the game but I’m still disappointedI’ve been playing ever since the release of the game and honestly, I loved it, it had everything I’d missed out on from the other platforms. I was perfectly fine with some of the mobile exclusive additions such as amber and cosmetic structures as it didn't feel pay to win and just added another level of customization. That was until they started straying off and making a completely different game from the source material. They added arketypes, they added dungeons and the game itself became quite unrecognizable. The player base of course was fine with that because the game was still balanced but that’s when the server wipes happened. The Devs would clear out entire servers full of bases and tames that took time to build or tame. The only way to save some of your items and animals was to transfer them off which in most cases you need to pay to do. So in order to keep some of your hard work intact, you need to pay. I understand that developers need money but this is not the right way to get it. Along with that, there hasn’t been a single major update since the dungeons update which was last year. The developers seem to have given up on this project all together. I’m seriously disappointed..Version: 2.0.12
✓ UpdateeeeThe game is dying add a map or soemthing new stop putting new dungeons. Nobody cares about that stuff add a map and Dino’s or even a demo of a new map it’s so boring. ALL YALL WANT IS MONEY, not even people having fun. FIX UR GAME BOZO.Version: 2.0.25
✓ BugsDear developers, After 5 min games I’m receiving uncontrollable brightness decreases and later few minutes huge freezing switch which not possible to play. My device is iPhone X. Please be so kind to fix it.Version: 1.0
✓ REALLY GOOD GAME… HoweverSo yeah, Ark Survival Evolved is a great game. However the graphics could use a touch up and it could use a bit of bug fixing. One of the things I hate about this game is the multiplayer. All the PVE severs are over crowded and there are too many structures and tames. When ever the space clears up, it is immediately taken up again. Even when the new severs came out they were almost instantly full. PVP is pretty bad too. It’s not overcrowded but the people there aren’t always nice. It’s super hard to get started when everyone is out to attack you, kill your tame, and destroy and loot your structures. And even when you get a really good house, eventually people with overpowered stuff come kill ALL of your tame and destroy everything you worked hard for. Also, private severs are just too hard and costly to host. I know single play is an option but many people want very badly to play with their friends. Like I said before, Ark is super good. But PLEASE fix this multiplayer flaws. I haven’t pick up the game since me and my friends hug stone house and powerful tames were all obliterated. I’m sorry but unless the developers fix these multiplayer flaws me and my group of friends are likely to use this game again. DISCLAIMER: If you are good with overcrowded and hostile multiplayer severs, or just prefer to play a really good single player game, then Ark would probably be a fun game for you!.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Bugs and general fixes needed!!!!! Developers please see this!!!!!!I love ARK and the different play styles you can play whether it’s offline where you can have fun surviving by your self or if you have some friends, you can also join a server with them which is amazing fun. But the reason I gave this game this rating is because the game can be extremely buggy when it freezes or worse crashes just about every time a carnivore try’s to kill me or the are a lot of animals in one place the game starts freezing up and that’s on offline. Not just that in just about every cave you can get stuck on a wall or rock (there are some large rocks in the world you can also get stuck on) and your left to die which is really frustrating, also in the caves if there’s a spot you can fall down and die you need to make a way to get your stuff back because you can’t jump down and get it or you will die again so please make a way for your stuff to get back to you it would really be a great feature and make my life much easier. Just one more thing please make a way to customise you controls more because I don’t like the jump how you have to swipe up couldn’t you just make a jump button as an option and there some other controls I could go on about but I’m gonna end it here. So developers please please patch your app it will make it a much much better game for all of us. Thanks 😉👍.Version: 1.0.86
✓ Great butI have been playing for about a year now and it is a little buggy but that is okay, but the biggest issues I have seen is that on single player you can only tame 40 creatures and this wasn’t an issue until I started getting too a higher level and could tame bigger creatures and soon I ran out of tame slots and had to kill some of my creatures, now I know that it is to reduce lag but it should still be an option as well people who have started a game cannot change the difficulty and I was frustrated as I like to mess around in single player mode but I am not wanting to go through the grind as I don’t always have time to play and this was solved with god mode but it costs money and I don’t have money for it. So overall add option to have more slots for taming allow for games to be changed after started and make god mode free or at least a version of it like extra xp.Version: 1.1.06.1
✓ -2.0I used to enjoy playing ark mobile until it simply just got boring and then recently I discovered you can play the real version of ark with Xbox cloud gaming and realized how big of a downgrade ark mobile really is from the real thing. So in ark mobile there’s no point in getting tek armor when all you need is ascended flak armor but in the original game tek armor has advantages in tek armor and gear that revolutionizes the game. Another thing is bosses. I know that dungeons are fun and all but they’re so much easier to fight and there’s a much smaller variety in mobile while in the original game you get really cool bosses such as the titans and the overseer. Then there’s dinosaurs in general. So you do get some of the really cool bosses like the titanosaur and gryphons in ark mobile but there have to be at least 3x as many varieties of Dino’s in the original game some of the top ones being wyverns, yutyrannus, and gasbags. Maps: ark mobile has one map, the island, which is also in the original game on pc, PlayStation, and console but once again improved. There are also many more maps such as aberration, extinction, genesis, crystal isles, etc. the downgrade from the original to the mobile version cannot be counted even with the few improvements such as creature revival and soothing balm plus a few more. Ill give this one a 3 star rating in favor of the time that I once enjoyed it and because the original is so fun.Version: 2.0.26
✓ This is for PS4 arkI play ark all the time atleast everyday for 1-1hr 30 mins. I love the game, the concept and the challenges it brings. But it is way too easy for someone with a dragon to destroy a stone and metal base. I had a base that had an extra wall and the triangle foundations and walls all around. I had gates and spikes around my base. But the dragon was able to swipe through the place. It’s too easy to destroy buildings and the game is disproportionate. There are players that are lvl 900 whilst I’m unable to get to 100. I think you need to fix the pvp thing aswell. I have a lot of health and torpidity but with one hit I’m knocked out instantly. So in essence all I am doing is farming for the big players. Also how is someone with a wood pike not dying against multiple arrows being thrown at them using crossbow. The game needs to be fixed. It gets very boring when every time you log on and 3 people with dragons just destroy through your base..Version: 2.0.05
✓ A little bit unhappySo I have played ark on my Xbox one s and my sister’s PS4 and on my phone, I uninstalled ark because of my phone playing up. I installed back and it took an hour and a half then an instant black screen. I look up on google how to get my phone to turn back on and eventually after following the steps it comes back on then I go back to playing ark. I works for 5 seconds then it kicks me off the app and goes back to my phone screen and I go back into the app and I get kicked off the app again so I reset my my phone and do everything all over again I kept trying to get back into the app and I kept going back to the home screen then I check the updates and I realised that ark supports iPhone 7 and iPhone 7s and I’m using an iPhone 6s a little bit more upset because I bought something off ark, I think it was something to do with creative and I never got it, and it said I bough it but I never got it.Version: 1.1.21
✓ Bugs and GlitchesI have witnessed many bugs and Glitches in this game some may not bother me same may do. In fact I had a strange glitch in Single player to do with the Raft, I had started the “grand voyage” quest and made my way round the island within half and hour or more, one point my game decided to crash and weirdly enough I had continued from where I was and my quest was fine. During the way back my quest had started to go down in progress than up which was very odd, so I ignored it and continued on with my raft and then it got to the point where I had managed to get round the hole of my island and the quest bar was at zero and just didn’t budge. Please help me and Please fix this quickly before it happens again to me or anyone else thanks!.Version: 1.1.19
✓ Read if u are interested in gettingArk. A game about taming Dino’s and surviving in your own jurassic park. There are a few points I want to make and I deeply suggest you to read all before getting. 1: Solo Play: Solo player is VERY fun. You don’t have to worry about losing everything, you can chill, and build your base. It is pretty fun and not to stressful. It has pretty good graphics and you can build your empire and army. 2: Multiplayer: Because you can’t invite only 1 friend to your game, you have to play servers. Before unofficial servers were the main thing, hacker polluted everything. Not only that, but people would constantly raid you and you would start all over from scratch. I would pick an empty server to play with friends. It’s very fun to interact and play together. 3: The shop The shop is the main way they get money. There is NO ADDS, but to get some really good items or even just to speed up taming, you need something called ancient amber. You can get this VERY RARELY, OR you can buy it with money. Now this is completely unfair since people can literally buy guns and turrets with UNLIMITED AMMO. So I would say stick to single player and just have fun. 4: Overall It’s a great game! You can ride Dino’s in a big world and make an epic base. It’s very fun and I recommend it to everyone. Play single player and avoid full multiplayer servers. Have fun survivors!.Version: 2.0.26
✓ Good but annoyingSo I have only played single player but long enough to realise the problem. that is the game crashing but I am fine with that but it role backs, undoing your progression but that is also fine. But it role backs every time it crashes and it crashes a lot which. This really annoying but the one thing that annoys me the most is where you crash you can’t go back there and if you do it will just crash again the only way of stopping this to save. But you have to back to the same place but before the place you crashed in. This is really annoying because it renders the game practically impossible to play. So my advice to people who want to play the game is just don’t play unless you are very and I mean extremely patient. And any developers reading this please try to fix this as it is just too annoying. To end this off, this game is good and can be even better if it was fixed. Another thing that annoys me is that as soon as you load up the game it crashes and there is no way to stop it. Leaving the game impossible to play so I am disappointed that the developers didn’t fix this. This game could have been the greatest game if it was given more attention to the gameplay..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Amazing! Until...So. I found this game about in 2017. I was amazed by it and i really could not stop playing it. but. that was until NOW... it was only supported for tons of devices that i did not have. unfortunately, i had about 4 or 5 griffins, loads of spinos and so many more hard to tame creatures. i decided now that i wanted to play ark after watching a vid of my fav youtuber on it. i thought "wow new update! lets check it out!!!" i got on the main screen no problem but then i clicked offline (offline is the one where i had all my creatures, i never play multiplayer.) but then as soon as it got to the loading bit then my game froze on the spot and then boom. it took me off the game, i tried many more times. until i gave up. i tried multiplayer and roamed around for a bit. the game just worked as usual, but then i tried offline again, i think you already know what happened. But i seriously loved this game and spent so much time and money on it, but this just wrecked all of my dreams...Version: 2.0.07
✓ Plz fixMultiplayer and single player both have lots of lag and resources don’t like being collected and I have really good wifi.Version: 2.0.25
✓ UPDATE YOUR GAMESo many bugs and no new dinosaurs and lack of dinosaurs nothing like pc ark fix mobile ark before the pc version.Version: 2.0.26
✓ Truly the Best or is it!Oh jeez, this isn’t some rip off of Ark on Mobile! This is real! For the limitations mobile have, I was shocked and pleased to learn this game is very similar to PS4 Ark. Ys, people, there are bugs, but think about what has been accomplished here. I’ll give another example of a Bad, Mobile game configured. Yes, I’m talking about Fortnite. This is better then Fortnite. It is very challenging to convert a game of such high quality into mobile. However, I have some requests. Tsk Tier: While being OP, Tek Tier would be amazing in this game, helping tribes/ players to defeat those big Dinos they struggle to tame. Bosses: Speaking of Tek, I was disappointed to learn there are no bosses in this game. Even so, I understand how high a quality bosses and boss arenas are. Keep it up guys! That’s all. EDIT: Either you guys read your ratings, or you know what lots of people are asking for. Thanks to Ark 2.0 we’re getting Tek and Bosses! Thank you for adding this aspect, and I’ll certainly enjoy. Edit 2: When I asked for Tek and Bosses, I didn’t expect it to be locked behind a paywall. Some may argue you don’t have to pay to get it, but you need to buy a lot of the crafting stations to stand a remote chance. Then with the combined risk of tiredness, body injury, weight maxed up, Tek is impossible to get for a causal player like me. Lowering my review until dungeons ether get easier or I quit the game out of anger..Version: 2.0.07
✓ Message for devWell I never mesh or dupe, It’s the server invader that report me, and my tribe they use hack and spawn camp us at base but they couldn’t wipe us with 8 hackers we couldn’t even get out of base, so we inv hacker to tribe as well as asking hacker allies for help, yes that a good reason for the ban but just so you know dev, you not helping the game become more fair, you actually helping hacker invader, cuz it’s a win for em by using you to wipe defending tribe in the server, they came back today with more hacker, more dupe item and meshing at 30 10 aimbot us, we have no resource and item because of the ban, well after you helping them wipe our server they just gonna continue doing this to another server, you not making the game become more fair, you guy just encouraging these ppl to abuse the game more, that’s all I have to, good luck to any new player, pvp official is full of hacker that when can’t win they will report..Version: 2.0.22
✓ DudeWhy can we only build squares what is up with that? Why can’t we have triangle pieces? I mean the game is starving for doing more with building things besides squares what’s it gonna hurt to give us more to work with? I know it’s probably a lot of work to add those pieces but ark is so boring only being able to build with such limitations it’s like y’all neutered the game when all u give us only squares. And tek Dino gates would really make the game more desirable. There comes a point when we say” I give up, this is old . We’re so limited this is all we can build with” and building is the biggest part of the game. Even if you made it so there could be engrams for triangle structures u could at least sell amber that way as long as they aren’t stupidly expensive. And why can’t we have and admin rifle? Why can’t we have cryopods? It’s not game breaking. No one on pc conplains about those lol. Even if mobile player complained so what they won’t quit playing. And the crhonicle system is just stupid. Ok u need element to chronicle and a structure to revive them. It would be less dumb to remove the need for a revive pad . Everyone would be ok with that literally everyone wants cryopods why does mobile have to starve for affection like this. I can’t understand any of these things at all. You want revenue but you refuse to do simple things like that to generate revenue . Please explain some of these things everyone wants to know why ark mobile is neutered compared to pc.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Great game, but...This game is fab! You can play it for endless hours either online or offline. It’s challenging but not too challenging so that you get bored an give up playing. The only down side is when following the quest (in my experience only on single player) the game gets stuck in ‘the basic’ it doesn’t automatically complete the quest once you have finished and you can’t abandon the quest. Therefore you are unable to continue with other quests as they don’t become available. Without quests it is very hard to gain exp quickly! I have contacted ARK but they are unable to help me as they say there is no solution to this problem. This is a problem for me so won’t continue to play until the issue is resolved. Hope it’s not happening to others and Hopefully soon it will be fixed !.Version: 1.0.92
✓ A could be 5 star gameThis game could easily be a five star game because of the hype and feedback of its pc and console counterparts. However this is not the case, this game is riddled with so many ads, unfair in-app purchases, and overall disappointments. I know this was to be expected of a free game that would cost 50 dollars on a non mobile device, but this game has promise and its success as a great game should be put behind it raking in a massive profit. As almost all mobile games have ads and in app purchases I was not surprised to see that watching an ad would give in-game advantages, but I was disappointed that this is what mattered most to the developers. I have played two different islands up to level 90 before I would realize that there really was no point to sell my soul for more exp. Yes, the thing that bothers me most is that with all of this mess of ads and in-app purchases you would expect the full game experience that so many other platforms have, but no, we are lacking in many items and overall game experience. In conclusion I would rather pay the 40-50 dollars to get the real game on a mobile device. Unfortunately this will most likely never happen because of the lack of backbone in the dev team. (Also maybe because most mobile devices won’t be able to handle it tbh). Please take my concerns into consideration and good day..Version: 1.1.16
✓ Please fix the lagI like the game but can barely play because it starts to lag then lags even worse then it exits the game automatically it may sound far fetched but it keeps kicking me out please fix this issue 1 Star because I can barely even play so why should I give a 5 Star if it keeps kicking me so 1 Star is the most logical answer please fix these glitches. Edit. Now it will not even let me play if I could put a half a star I would I really do not think they read the reviews like I really wanted to play this game yet the developers are just trying to troll people that is exactly how it seems you can’t even play anymore. I will change my review when the developers fix this they made a new update and there is a new bug where it keeps getting stuck on a white screen these developers do not even care about bugs. They still have not fixed any of the bugs I told them about they probably do not listen to the reviews because they do not care I took so much time reporting these bugs asked them nicely and they do not care which makes me mad. All this game does is put you on a white screen then kicks you out these developers do not even care. Developers are supposed to fix these problems they add new stuff but do not even fix the bugs they are not good developers they do not care. I will not take this review down until they fix the bug..Version: 1.0.81
✓ Fun but buggy, laggy, and bad surprisesThe concept is great. The execution of concept leaves a rly bad taste. Lags, multiplayer will freeze as your attacking your prey, servers go down with no warning. Anf IF things seem finally to go too well: get rdy to be attacked by a mix of all the worst high lvl packs u can imagine. And then the mixed packs of scorpions, argentis birds, sabercats and raptors camp over you body so there is no way you can get your loot back. The devs are sadists for sure. Not only would i not pay for this: i'm uninstalling it..Version: 1.0.90
✓ Laggy AFI have thousands of hours on the pc, played for years starting in the closed alpha. Amazed that this game is on mobile, annoyed I have to pay monthly for a game that I paid for already and helped develop over the years. Now in terms of this game, first few days were great, whatever updates and optimisation they have released has messed the game up. When you learn an engram, occasionally it is forgotten and you don’t get the points back, I’ve lost over 100 points so far and nothing I can do but start again. The game often loses your progress, you leave the game through menus expecting to log on to the exact same place. But sometimes it takes you back hours. Now this is my biggest gripe, it is so laggy, you can’t run in a straight line without having to continually tap as the survivor just stops running, random menus pop up as you’re doing this also, movement in the game is horrendous, amazing how it worked at first and they’ve ruined it somehow. Waste of time at the moment, fix it dice..Version: 1.0.78
✓ Good game with 1 major issue.The fact that this game runs at all on a mobile device is amazing and for it to run well is just impressive, I have no issues with the game itself apart for the spontaneous crashes. My main issue with the game is the community, I understand it’s PVP and raiding bases is a lot of run, but the bigger tribes bully and halt all progress from smaller tribes... most of the time they won’t even loot you, just fire at your base with rockets till it’s gone, I would understand if these attacks were provoked, but until the game is more balanced it’s impossible to “git gud” because of some Japanese guy flying around on his dragon blowing stuff up with his unfair inventory. it takes weeks of safe grinding to get to that lvl!!! You can fix this issue by joining a large tribe and staying safe behind 4 metal walls and 60 turrets, but where is the fun in that? You either die a noob or join them and become the villain..Version: 2.0.07
✓ Do not downloadOfficial severs have been hacked to the point the devs do not care and are still continuing to profit from people. Already reported to apple..Version: 2.0.26
✓ Love it but one requestI love this game and it is my favourite game but on computer there is a thing that makes you able to modify Dino experience gather rate and stuff like that, if you put this in the game but maybe tone it down a bit it would be like the best game ever and I’m sure a lot more people want this and players that are new to the game might give it a better review for it Also i know that some people only aren’t playing ark mobile because of that so you would get some more players if you updated to this Thanks for the mobile edition, love it. Edit: ok I’ve stopped playing the game now because of the lack of progress but I would give a 5 star rating if you updated what I said above I’m starting to get annoyed at this game Edit okay now I’m really annoyed you have to pay 20 dollars just to pretty much have creative mode I mean come on all of these in app purchases are almost as expensive as the real thing on computer 1 star.Version: 1.095
✓ Spawn killing animalsThe games good for a mobile games but we need a break!Imagine you’re a new player you just joined then you get spawn killed by two raptors again and again and again!Even after you escape their grasp you end up getting killed by mega piranhas who as soon as you kill respawn, and then finally triumph! You’ve reclaimed all your stuff, oops a sarco just comes around and one hits you (this is supposed to be the easy part of the map!) Maybe a tiny shield when you respawn could stop this.Version: 2.0.22
✓ Good game, but can get really frustrating.It’s a good game, very good game. However, the fact that respawning is the most annoying thing about the whole game just puts you off, really? 5 minutes to even start to wait the extra 90 seconds. The game itself is amazing, however the mobile players are being crushed by this ridiculous respawn mechanism, your body would have been long gone by then. And the only way to get it back is to watch an ad, which normally spawns you the furthest distance possible, or to buy a premium pass. As a side note, personally and according to most server statistics, I think the PVE servers should be made considerably larger than PvP servers, as people play PVE servers only for the experience and to have big bases & many creatures, and these are more permanent also. Therefore, I think it to be reasonable for PVE servers to be improved..Version: 2.0.18
✓ They don’t careThey don’t listen or care about their players. The only reason I play is because of the franchise Ark that was created by WildCard. I play PC ark and I always thought wildcard was bad for releasing new content but not fixing exploits. Until I was introduced to War drum (Ark Mobile). I WILL NEVER play a game war drum makes besides Ark mobile because they didn’t invent Ark and I want to make this SUPER clear because they don’t know how to read or they do not care about the people that put money in their pocket. Sad. Game need lots of tuning. Can barley run on modern phones that can handle any other game at high fps. I don’t care about new content (map/Dinos/dungeons) that will just make the game run worse. Fix your game and swallow your ego, perhaps listen to your fans... absolute pure laziness. They don’t want to put in work they just want to sit back and collect and lie and say “ we are working on a new game” super unorganized. If you were “working” on a new game you wouldn’t be releasing dungeons every week. Stop lying. Ps no one is going to play your new game anyway lol.Version: 2.0.25
✓ ARKThis is one of my favourite games. I cannot honestly rate it as it is not downloaded yet but when it is I will edit it. If you could contact me about the update log saying that it is not supported on iPhone 6 but the game info saying it is I would be delighted. Keep surviving! EDIT: I must say I am thoroughly disappointed in you WildCard. You make one of the best games I have ever played across every platform and then..... my device cannot cope with it. The reason I gave you more than one star is because I love ARK so much and I appreciate everything positive to do with it. Like the new “Homestead” update? When I saw it was coming I went out of my mind. Structures Plus elements in console?!? All of my favourite ARK YouTubers use PC and had access to so much more building elements than I do as I play on PlayStation 4. But I saw ARK mobile..... and I wanted it. Exclusive things and maybe less than console but it is still ARK. Now that I try to download it and it takes about and hour to do the latter...I open it...and it crashes. I try again? Almost instant crash. This is very disappointing to me because I am a huge ARK fan and have played all the DLCs. So if you could have it work on iPhone 6 too then that would be a great help. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you will consider my request. I haven’t lost faith yet, WildCard..Version: 1.1.19
✓ Bugs need to be fixedI have played since beta and let me tell you the game has improved. It is a fun game when it’s working right and when your actually playing consistently online. I am rating the online version (multiplayer). Otherwise if you leave the game for a day, some dinosaurs even the dangerous ones spawn in my land and kill off some of my dinos. Also my Dino’s which you end up bonding with disappear. Another thing that really urks me and upsets me is that all my hard work that my husband and I did vanishes if my husband doesn’t log on for awhile. That needs to be changed because I log on very religiously to prevent anything to break down. I believe the leader should have all the rights of structures and anything else that was built on the land to be reset on my time of logging on, Not the person who built it. It is very frustrating and way too many glitches, just stick to single player so you don’t lose anything or any dinosaurs. Lastly, the limit cap of dinosaurs per each server should be changed to a cap for each player instead. Look I bought the PC version which is full price and yet still love playing on the mobile. If you can’t fix the mobile, I will simply delete it from my mobile device and let my other friends/family all switch to either game console or pc version and play together there. Other than that when I do log on and play with whomever and or single player it is a very fun and addicting game..Version: 1.1.02
✓ Needs LAN multiplayer and offline server player protectorsI think that this game needs LAN multiplayer as on PVP servers low levels are killed constantly by much higher levels, this makes it frustrating to play and takes away the fun of playing alone on a server or with friends. I myself could use PVE but the tame and build caps fill up very quickly and same goes for PVXC yet at certain times you can still be killed. This is very annoying as it is impossible to just play with friends and not be killed constantly. Another solution would be to have an offline tribe protector which could active after everyone in a tribe has been offline for 15 minutes and could work within a certain distance, in case of multiple bases in the server and would protect everyone from being killed by other players and having their structures and tames protected for when they are offline. (To anyone how read this) Thank you for reading my review..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Good although some issuesI have been playing this game for quite a while now on my IPhone SE and I have recently upgraded to an IPhone X and my ark experience has been better in graphics but quite worse in game display. First of all there is a kibble glitch where you cannot make kibble anymore I’m not sure why but it only lets you do it in the tutorial / task. Upgrading to my new iPhone X has been good and bad because now when I go into the crafting and inventory menu I cannot access one whole Column of my inventory and I can’t even see it so there is one whole column of it that I cannot see nor access but it is still there and it is a pain trying to get items from that column like dropping items and then more items go into the same column!! It’s very frustrating, please ark fix this. Overall the game is amazing yet because of this on screen glitch it’s made it very annoying so I’ve not been playing it a lot now and found some new fun games, if there is a fix to this already please respond to my feedback thank you!.Version: 2.0.25
✓ And this happened to me😭It is a great game but you have to get all your stuff when you die why can’t the developers just make the game so that you keep all your stuff WHY! Well I know that somehow keep all your stuff but why can’t you do it during your game. And In multiplayer I was taming something and angered a carbonamiss and it went after me and I couldn’t even get away I hid behind a rock and it still went after me I kinda hate this game now so pls fix that🥺.Version: 2.0.22
✓ Fun and addictive but couple very annoying problems!Once you manage to actually gain tools and tame a good amount of strong dinos the overall system of the game screws you over by making your dinos as dumb as a brick! They get caught on logs or run into shark infested water meaning you are either spending half your time on the game running back and forth herding your dinos up :/ or even worse they just get themselves killed by falling etc. Fix this issue with the dinos being idiots and would be a much more immersive game to play! *plus: an added attack mode for dinos when attacking like a unconscious mode so when you want to knock out a Dino to tame but can’t knock out on your own you can use your dinos without them killing the Dino before you make Them stop attacking....Version: 1.0.71
✓ FreezingI have an iPhone 11 and my game is freezing and kicking me out and when I go back in it is 5 minutes behind of what I have done.Version: 2.0.26
✓ Cheaters/HackersI have played the game frequently and it’s really great to be honest. The only problem is the hackers/cheaters who ruin the game. Example (Brutal PVXC EUR server) One of the Chinese guys structures around lat 79 and long 29 is invulnerable as well as not being able to see all the invisible structures as well. Really want to continue playing but it’s difficult to have fun with cheaters. A concerned ark user.Version: 2.0.22
✓ Remove tame slot limitEverything else about this game is, I would go on to say, perfect, it did a great job of capturing the look, feel and mechanics of the original version, but only having the ability to have 40 creatures at a time is ridiculous, kicks the entire experience down a notch. Every time I go on to consider to tame a new creature I would have a debate of sorts with myself in my head about whether it is worth it or not. And chronicling is not solving the issue, having to use your hard earned amber and eerie element just so you can free up one tame slot is very tedious and just ruins the experience as a whole. I know the chances of anyone reading the review is low, but please, studio wildcard, snail games, whoever is running ark right now, just remove the tame limit. ;(.Version: 2.0.26
✓ Ridiculous!I can’t stay on the game for more than a minute! It’s stupid! Either my phone is faulty, the game doesn’t work on my phone anymore or the game’s broken. Is this some sort of sign? Are you lot trying to tell me something in a “broken game, don’t bother with trying to play” way? If so, then that’s just ridiculous! I remember when I first got this game, I was so flipping excited to play it because I love dinosaurs. After a while, I got a little addicted to the game, but as time went on, I didn’t play it for a long time. And the second I play it again after god knows how long, it kicks me off. My first thought was “God F it!” But instead I said “WHYYYYYYYYYY?!” (Not even joking or over exaggerating) and I’d really appreciate it if you’d be able to fix it. Thanks if you can, if you can’t- then I guess I’m never gonna play ARK ever again because it’ll be deleted. :(.Version: 2.0.12
✓ Having issues with dinosaursSo my dinosaurs keep dying thinking they are being attacked by something and I have searched for cause of injury’s and there is nothing on the ground or flying around it to cause it harm as if it’s imagining it and I keep having to pay money to revive them even though they are dying for no reason I have no idea if it’s a bug fix you guys need to do or what but fix it please I’m tired of spending money for no reason if it actually died from being attacked I’d understand but nothing is attacking it.Version: 2.0.25
✓ BugsDear developers please don’t let this perfect game die because you don’t want to fix bugs and things like this. This app keeps crashing and you’re not doing anything. A lot of people are using software cheats and aimbot and you guys don’t seem to care at all. This game is perfect but PLEASE listen to us, the community. AND PLEASE REMOVE THE ADDS..Version: 2.0.22
✓ Ark mobile, please prioritize!!!I love the fact that you have managed to put such an amazing and big game onto an Ios platform. I, however, hate the fact that you guys prioritize updating the store before stopping cheating and exploiting. I have realized, in all my server transfers and time spent finding a clean server, that there isn’t any official servers without hackers/cheaters/exploiters. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Devs could care less.I loved this game. Bought Primal Pass and a few other purchases. Even encouraged my friends to pick it up. However, I’ve made the decision to cease my subscription of Primal Pass and delete the game. If you’re just jumping into the game, you can’t build a base on land because the Alphas and other toxic high-ranked players will destroy everything you’ve built and gathered. So, you decide to build a base on a raft and keep it traveling around the island in the PVE zone (if you’re playing PVX) with hopes of actually building up something beyond a thatch shack. The problem is that, just as you couldn’t build a base on land, you also cannot build a base on water. The “raft trap” glitch is used by high leveled players to destroy weeks of your work in seconds. But that’s only half the problem. In my case, I sent video and photo evidence of a toxic, level 99 player using the glitch to destroy my base (for the third time.) Grove Street Games’ response? I didn’t supply any evidence of abuse and misuse of a glitch. They clearly enjoy getting paid for subscriptions and IAPs but could care less about stopping hackers, cheaters, and glitch abusers. Could be a great game, but the developers won’t get another cent from me and I’d encourage anyone to avoid their products. They certainly aren’t willing to do their jobs and seem content with letting their glitchy game ruin the legitimate players’ experience. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Ticks all boxes except one thingThis game fills in everything I could need for a survival game exploration, base-building, hunting and surviving I really enjoy the concepts of PVE on Multiplayer and I really like the fact that the game can be played offline wherever you want and comes with no price tag this game has everything you could need for survival IOS gaming but could you guys please put in an option to host your own sever that has the option to be locked so that you can play with friends but not have to worry about other people building or griefing your world but other than that thanks however though there is some problems otherwise I would give full stars I’m not sure if this is just me but when doing quests some of the restart and make you do them over again as is the same when learning Engrams for a quality game. 👌🏻.Version: 1.0.62
✓ Terrible updatesIf your playing multiplayer, don’t, I hate this cause you need to update the game to actually keep on playing multiplayer, plus it uses 1.8GB, so pls make it you don’t have to update it to keep on playing multiplayer or can you just lower the wifi needed to update it, thanks if you do, but if you don’t then I hate this game cause it doesn’t even let me play single player and I had a trike and a pteranodon and more!!! So pls fix this problem with the updates.Version: 1.1.21
✓ Was a loyal customer or ark mobile and pc butWhat a scummy company that runs it. Studio wildcard -5 stars. You guys have lost so many loyal longtime players..Version: 2.0.26
✓ Button does not workHi, I am really disappointed about this game, the use button to take an object like a pickaxe does not work, it throw the object in front of me instead of putting it in my hands. I am on an iPhone 12 Pro Max Can u fix that bug plz ? Thank u.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Keeps crashing and More things?For me it’s really laggy and sometimes just randomly crashes and this makes me sad because ark is my favourite game and also I know it just came out yesterday but are you gonna add more things... like commands? But it is pretty good I mean I know it just came out... but still because I’ve waited a long time... but I am exited to see the future updates and I hope it gets less laggy in the future and there will be more things!.Version: 1.0.62
✓ Won’t openEvery time I click on the app to open it, the app will open but then kick me out before I touch any thing please fix this..Version: 1.1.20
✓ Disappointing after updates and purchasing god modeHave been playing Ark for ages on iPad Pro, at first all was going well until i decided to invest in god mode then multiple problems set in. Game started freezing, when crafting things like saddles the game freezes and have to restart. Don’t get me wrong it’s fun to fly around and be totally invulnerable but it’s also fun to drop out of god mode and fly using your dinosaurs from time to time. If you are in god mode and forget to come out of fly mode it can be a little disconcerting to find you are sat on the back of your T-Rex and you are both flying high above the ground with no control over your flight this happens a lot. As a result of multiple problems I don’t play the game as much as I did before laying out money to improve and add to my enjoyment of the game..Version: 1.1.21
✓ Great game, but can you add supply crates to single player?I love the game but usually play single player because I can come and go without anything changing, I’ve played on servers before and supply crates are a great help to progressing through the game as well as it being a fun risk to take seeing as you could walk right into a Rex when trying to get to one. But since I mostly play on single player (some people in servers are really toxic) I don’t see them anymore, can you add supply crates to single player? Like add a check box for if the player wants supply crate spawns or not. That would be awesome thank you..Version: 2.0.16
✓ Fix Metal not respawningI’ve waited hours inside the game for the metal to re spawn but it just doesn’t, it’s been a problem for years but you guys haven’t fixed it, I would give 5 star but the metal man.. it’s annoying.Version: 2.0.22
✓ It is a great game butSo as the title suggests this is a great game… … BUT I was playing on a server “Angler Bay” and one day I decided to go skiing so I didn’t touch the game for a day. THE NEXT DAY MY WHOLE ENTIRE BASE WAS GONE. Everything was gone. And also somehow FIVE OF MY CREATURES WERE NOT MINE ANYMORE. HOW!!!!!! It could just be a hacker but this wouldn’t be a thing if I could just play with my friends or brother in a private game. But I can’t. To play with someone you have to join the same server. And the thing is my base was gone and that might be normal for pvp but it was PVE!!! But I did hear that this Ark Mobile was getting a complete makeover so I am so happy and excited “for multiplayer in a private game” ;) (This is your hint to add multiplayer into the makeover if you didn’t WILDCARD).Version: 2.0.26
✓ Fun butNow that ads have been removed it’s too hard to get amber and with the newest update you cant farm it from caves so not only is it harder to get amber but they didn’t even make any amber items cheaper to buy them I will not stop playing but it’s still stupid like why would they get rid of ads and farming oh nvm I know why so they can implement more ways to get your money did I mention that this game is super laggy and pay to win the game is fun but god damn it your ruining your game several people I know stopped playing because of this new update so screw you and fix your gd game.Version: 2.0.24
✓ Waste of MoneyI just bought a server for a month for my friend and I and after it loads it says that there is a problem to refresh in a minute but it has been over a day now and I still can’t play on that server… waste of money…. I have an iPhone XR so it can’t be that problem.Version: 2.0.25
✓ ArkHas game breaking glitches.Version: 2.0.26
✓ Fun but too many Death Dinosaurs at too small of a levelI absolutely love this game and have already spent 18+ hours on it and I just downloaded it yesterday-which I never do. The only thing that has since then gotten me insanely frustrated and prompted me to write a review is the fact that I keep constantly dying in places I shouldn’t be. Especially when you respond, you shouldn’t be placed in an area where the warning on the top right of your screen is up. Or when you’re just starting out a new character and the place they set you up is actually home to very difficult monsters that see you from a football field away and will kill you when you don’t even have the tools or means necessary to defend yourself, since you are just starting off. I really do like this game, but it turns me off to playing if it doesn’t allow me to even level up my character enough to combat the larger dinosaurs. Maybe start spawning them according to the players level? I feel like that would help a lot. Also giving a better walk through in the beginning, because I was completely lost with what does what and what I should do. Otherwise, it’s a super fun game and I love the aspect of being able to tame your own dinosaurs on your journey..Version: 1.0.86
✓ MassiveARK is a great game, used to play quite frequently a few months ago. I have since uninstalled and just yesterday decided to reinstall. I’m on my iPad (fairly new model) and this game is now completely broken. The game lags like crazy and even lags out my iPad for a short time after closing the app (for a few seconds after the app being closed I experience the same “lag”) I can press the home button and expect to wait about 20 seconds for anything to register. I’m on the lowest graphical settings despite having being able to play on maximum settings before. I have no idea if it’s a bug in a recent update but I heavily doubt it’s my iPad that’s broken. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing has changed. Not going to be playing again until this is sorted on their end, or I figure out what’s causing it on my end (not likely).Version: 2.0.12
✓ Local Multiplayer PleaseIt's sad not to be able to play only with your friends I think its called "Local multiplayer" because for the moment the only solution is to play in servers with other random, or to buy a server....Version: 2.0.25
✓ AccessibilityI love this game with all of my heart, I have been a fan for many years now, but I haven’t been able to play the PC version due to my computers horrible specs. On the other hand, I’m a little bit disappointed due to the accessibility of the mobile game. What I mean by this is the fact that you can’t have any high level Dino’s with the decrease of XP gain. You can’t alter the harvesting rates of your single player world, I spent 2 hours just making a wood house with spikes around it as protection. Taming rates are just agonizingly slow, to the point I leave a knocked out high level tame. It is just too time consuming. You have a limit of the amount of Dino’s you’re allowed to have tamed. There’s just so many things that affect my motivation to be able to grind for so long on this game, wasting my time, and getting little out of it..Version: 1.094
✓ Good, but no cigar… FIX PVPEverything about the design of this game is engaging and addictive. Compared to other App Store games it should be one of the most appreciated and played games of all time, so hats off to the developers. However since 2021 multiplayer has went down hill quickly, there is a astonishing amount of hackers in pvp lobby’s it’s now impossible to play without eventually being raided by someone who is using mods or purchased duplicated items from someone using mods. It’s not unusual to spend a week putting together a decent base with good all round defence, just to see everything destroyed within 20 seconds of a raid on your base. In summary, I would advise that any downloading this game for anything other than single player, to re-evaluate their options because there is nothing more sole destroying than a week of hard work being wasted due to another player exploiting the game and continuing to get away with it..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Could use some workThe game is fun and quite addictive, I like the concept of taming wild dinos and leveling up is quite balanced. However, the game has some issues. For example, the game would constantly crash on me, sometimes randomly during my play through, or when i open up the game. Normally i can deal with games crashing, but I’m starting to get annoyed as crashing also resets my progress to the last time the game auto saves. This game is also somewhat pay to play. I can understand why the free gift and amber require ads since this game is out for free, but the prices of some premium items are somewhat expensive. Such as the minor balm, it cost 10 amber and only gives a 3x taming boost, compared to the regular balm that used to be on the store, it costs 15 amber for 10x boost. The prices don’t very proportional. I don’t mind the major balm since it is very useful for griffin tames. The dungeons that were recently added were awesome, the add a new difficulty to the game but not too hard to drive players away. But the dungeons are still a bit of a grind as it doesn’t drop a lot of element per play though. I really like this game but it has many glitches and flaws in it’s system, some of them might be patched in the future and I am excited to see what each update has to bring..Version: 2.0.05
✓ Keeps crashingI have an iPod touch 5 and when I used to have this app it was compatible and no problems occurred. I recently re downloaded it and it’s very disappointing that I can’t even get past the home screen without the game crashing. This issue can’t be about comparability. I’m trying to play for nostalgia and I just can’t. Please fix this.Version: 2.0.07
