Idle Area 51 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Fun yet boringThe overall look and feel of the game is great. The only thing that killed this game for me was discovering the cash reward for watching an ad was ~40% of your current cash on hand. This makes it far too easy to stockpile and rip through the entire game without a challenge..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Massive game bugI played this game for about 10 minutes absolutely enjoying it, but one huge bug ruined it. Whenever I upgraded the bio analysis to level 205, it stopped working. I decided to refresh and now all the buttons either show “<sprite=[0]>[1]” or just the word English. I had this happen on my iPad too and was not happy. Please fix it this bug and I will start playing again..Version: 1.8.3
✓ BlahAnyone else have the problem when you leave the game for longer then an hour. It doesn’t run. I log back in and it has only collected for a few mins .....Version: 1.5.5
✓ Idle add watching is what it should be calledIf you want to spend the whole time in a game waiting for an add to pop up this is your game. You make all the money you want by watching ads. Playing the game is worthless because you can’t make anywhere near the same amount of money. Two star because the game itself looks nice..Version: 1.5.6
✓ Doesn’t workI turned it on and it didnt work.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Just too buggyPlaying this on an iPhone 11, it’s just too buggy to be playable. For the first week I had it on my phone it wouldn’t even load when I opened it, it would just sit frozen on the opening loading screen for forever. Eventually I opened it one day and it worked to my surprise. I played for a while and got to the second “level” ie the warehouse level, and after that the game became unplayable. Every time I open it it tells me I have differing amounts waiting for me from $2 billion to about $50 billion, and after I collect that amount, I’m completely unable to upgrade anything. Everything is grayed out as if I don’t have enough money. If I completely force close and reopen the app, it again tells me I have some random number of billions of dollars waiting for me but as soon as I collect it, I can’t upgrade anything. The game has come to a complete stop only on the second level. I would pass on this one until they fix the bugs that make it unplayable.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Ads ads and more adsYou need to watch ads for in game bonuses and buffs only thing is you watch the video and the game freezes and you have to reload game which cancels out the previous ad watch.Version: 1.5.1
✓ 2 hour caps2 hour caps are stupid. They should put a 2 hour cap on all your businesses..Version: 1.5.3
✓ IDKI got the black screen of death😞😭.Version: 1.8.7
✓ So is it incomplete or what?I don’t know why they insist on giving you options to pay when the farthest you can go is outpost? DONT waste your money as you can advance quickly and there is only three stages thus far? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times to see if it was a quirk on my end. Quests don’t work since I’ve gotten to outpost, and I can only build the first structure. There is only a blank build screen. But the options to pay $5 - $10 work perfectly. 🤦♂️.Version: 1.3.1
✓ LagCouldnt even buy the first thing it was too laggy.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Heating up my phone till its untouchableWhen ever I run this game the top right of my phone will heat up to the point of triggering the apple thermal warning for device overheating as soon as I remove the app from processes phone returns to normal temp unplayable for this reasion..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great game but, a major exploitI think this is a really fun idle game from what I’ve play, I had beaten the second world after a day or so and decided to pay for no ads. After I got no ads then I would click on the “Men in Black” pop up to get money for free basically, and I just set my phone down to do the dishes and would just keep clicking the “Men In Black” every time they would show up. That’s when I noticed that the amount of money they give you is based off how much money you have in the bank, which is a very poor design choice. While I spent 30 minutes washing my dishes and cleaning and clicking the “Men in Black” every time they popped up. I went from having like 20 million, with “MiB” pop up giving me 1-5mil, next time they gave me 9~Mil, then they gave me 15 mil, then 30 mil, then 100 mil, then 200 mil, eventually during the time I was washing dishes and not really playing the game the MiB had started giving me 500 Billion, and it just kept going until I had 50bb saved up in an incredibly short time. It’s a huge exploit and I could basically beat the whole game without ever buying a single upgrade for anything if I just keep collecting the MiB bonuses as they keep increasing practically double every time since they scale up with how much money you have stored. It’s a fun game from what I’ve seen but I would call this a bug/exploit that shouldn’t be there..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Lost my progressJust loaded the game after leaving it in the event area, lost 3 buildings and all my lab levels and cards so they are all lvl one with no multiplier, before that happened, good game.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Console command bugWhen loaded in to game, a console command icon was constantly on the screen, showing what the game was currently doing e.g saving, upgrading factories e.t.c this was very annoying so I uninstalled and installed again but same problem, not sure what the reason is but this needs to be taken out as I’m sure it’s not meant to be there 1 star because unable to get past the console command, will update rating if this gets fixed..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Good game but…Good game but it makes my phone overheat and KILLS my battery (2020 SE iOS 14.5.1 at time of review). Upgrades get a little expensive and it makes you grind like crazy which is getting pretty boring now. I’ve reached the airforce base with everything maxed out apart from truck load which is stupidddd expensive considering it takes a while to save money even with all my facilities over level 1500. Should make little Interactions available like tapping on aliens to capture them or even tapping on the flying UFOs to make them crash and it can give you some money or quasars. New levels with new themes would be cool too just to add a bit of diversity..Version: 1.5.9
✓ Worst game everIn the beginning it lag I can’t buy a van.Version: 1.7.4
✓ PriceI love the game overall and the graphics too, but when it comes to buying upgrades, it is way too expensive. I can’t spend like 10 to 20 dollars just to get the game working faster, and I think the price for the loading bay and the unloading speed is way too expensive. I am barely making any money anymore because I can’t afford the next upgrades for the unloading and loading bay. When I upgrade to the next area, I get a lot more money because the money multiplier multiplies a lot, but the price of the loading and unloading bay also multiplied by the same amount or more. Why can’t the price for it be cheaper because this is the biggest issue with the game. Now if I want to make my loading bay faster than 1 minute, I have to spend over 400T dollars. This is really annoying and if the issue doesn’t get fixed soon I will probably delete the game,.Version: 1.5.3
✓ The game is brokenI got to the Air Force Base. I was working on upgrading the propulsion lab. I got the point of CT worth of money, then the money thing went NAN then it gave me several things of 11 gems and then it would so present 11 gem opportunities,But they would never count. I figured maybe my game neglected, so I closed it out, now I can’t get past the loading screen. Please fix.Version: 1.8.9
✓ Money cash bugged?Ok so I been playing for a bit and then when I came back I earned so much cash it’s went to the negative I’m not even making any cash now I past the trillion what ever before and now I’m in negative over all the game is ok a few bugs like this and I would give 5 stars if there was more things to do over all its ok.Version: 1.8.1
✓ ScammersI absolutely love this game and I would give the game itself a five star view, but there is one problem. Why the heck do you scam us. I watched an ad like normal but this time it was for the 120 second speed boost on my research. But when I went to watch it boost it showed I was only making 18 million on my singularity RnD instead of the 54 million I was making earlier. All I want to know is if there is something I’m missing that makes it go less but still help or if this is just a scam..Version: 1.7.8
✓ Ads gameWatch ads over and over.in between you can play a bit. a small bit.Version: 1.5.6
✓ Good time waster but so many issuesThe game is okay, good time waster. However the money is so disproportionate. Everything is so over priced for the money made. Also when you open the boxes it just says English and doesn’t actually give you anything so you waste the diamonds. If they can fix this then it would be one of the better idle games until the steer clear to be honest, it’s a lot of work for very little benefit.Version: 1.8.9
✓ Game won’t loadThe game won’t load just stuck at loading screen.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Good but it’s needs fixedToo many bugs.Version: 1.8.3
✓ In app purchases lostThought game was okay and then got pi$$3d off with adverts so purchased the remove adverts. Worked for a whilst but now plays adverts all the time. Restore purchases for £uck all and now looking for me to pay again. Developers sort it out!.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Okay game butOffline collection doesn’t seem to work at all, I logged in after sleeping for the night and I collect 40t cash I switch apps and reload the game and I can collect 9aa cash :/. The bottle neck on upgrading on the 3rd map is a joke I can’t upgrade my unloading and loading to match with research production. Adverts work when they want too I can watch 2 in a row to upgrade the production speed but then I just get an error Other than that the games quite qwerky artstyles nice If they fix the above issues would give more stars.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Very fun initially now utterly brokenUnfortunately upon exiting the event, my progress has been largely wiped. This, plus the ongoing failure of any offline earnings to be correctly calculated mean that progress is completely futile. Please fix.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Too many unfixed bugsThis is a really wonderful game and I enjoy it a lot but I’ve stopped playing because I can’t go to the build screen or the tasks screen anymore. They don’t load anything and I can’t progress further without the build screen. It’s just empty. Hopefully this can get fixed ASAP! I really want to get farther!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ ANNOYINGI like the game but it takes like 5 minutes to unload pretty stupid.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Progress entirely reset with the recent eventRuined the game for me, thankfully I haven’t handed cash over else I’d be even more annoyed..Version: 1.5.6
✓ No ads???Game went great for two days but now ads REFUSE to work. Constantly being told that the game is requesting a video but 5 minutes+ with no ability to watch ads to double income, speed up loading process, or gaining bonus money is absolute garbage. Unacceptable. Ads are how you progress the most and the fastest and being unable to view them kills the game..Version: 1.7.8
✓ UnplayableI made the mistake of buying to skip the ads like hey this looks like a fun game ill put some money on it. Its been 3 days now the shipments dont arrive fast enough to the lab and the research is always empty , i can't even progress even if i activate alllll the boosts which usually i would need to watch an ad for. Give me my money back right now..Version: 1.5.1
✓ .Another adwatching simulator with ufo-themed skins. Don’t bother. Tutorial lasts for 1 minute and they throw 3 ads right at your face and ask for $$$ to remove ads. What a joke..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Game IssuesCaused phone to overheat and ever since I bought the moon my home base resets itself everytime I go back into it. Disappointed as I really loved the game..Version: 1.5.3
✓ I can’t get new levelsI have had this game downloaded for a couple months and have enjoyed it. I even paid for the ad free version. The latest update says “New Worlds” but there are no new worlds. I am at Air Force Base and there are no options to go any farther. The level is beaten and have not been able To advance in weeks. I am on the newest IPhone so I know it can handle the update. I have killed the app and restarted it, nothing different. It seems like new levels are advertised but not sent out in the update..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Game overIt’s short, only 5 levels and they did away with the events because it took all your progress in the main game if you play them, so they aren’t into fixing the bugs so much, on that subject they released an “update” not too long ago claiming new worlds and storylines.... dude there isn’t one new thing in this game so I’m pretty sure nothings going on with this game.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Don’t getThis game is horrible. You have to pay £9.99 just for 10 hours of offline income. So you have to stay on the game to get your money. This is unacceptable as a core mechanic for idle games is locked behind a 10 pound paywall. Also, early game takes a long time to get through, so you’re gonna be spending about 15 minutes of your day on the app. Doing nothing else. Pretty boring if you ask me. Buy Adventure Capitalist instead..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Event suckedNever received any reward whatsoever for the event.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Latest update did nothingNo new maps, no new grads, nada zip.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Broken game. Wont even openBeginning to think this company is a complete fraud. The game has been broken for more than a week and has been completely inaccessible for days... and counting. I’ve sent several emails, posts and reviews with ZERO response. I rarely ever spend money on an app right out of the gate, but with this one I thought, why not?... well... guess THIS is why not. Now I’m out a game AND my money. Just remember... Karma isn’t kind..Version: 1.5.3
✓ DeletedThe game is broken! You have to watch ads to play or pay to remove but ads are broken so I have permanently deleted.Version: 1.5.8
✓ Terrible game do not waste your timeTo many ads. It’s obvious this is a blatant cashgrab directed to impressionable children..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Update the gameIt’s been 9 months! Give us more content.Version: 1.8.7
✓ AnnoyingThis game is so annoying, the amount of times I get the message we are requesting a video to get a bonus is ridiculous, problem loading videos it seems. There is an option to pay £9.99 to remove ads so you just get the bonus anyway but this is expensive and seems like a con to me, also the fact there is an option to get ten hours of money when you have been offline when it costs another £9.99 for this is just extortion to me. The game itself as in its content is fabulous and I really enjoy playing that part of it-when it works that is. Majorly flawed in my opinion and needs fixing..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Kills the batteryI can cope with the ads, but this game drains the battery on my phone like crazy. It’s an older phone, but five minutes of playing this game will drain 20% of the battery - it’s bad enough that even when the phone is connected via USB, the battery is still being hit. I’ve never before seen an app that needs more power than the USB connection can provide..Version: 1.5.5
✓ There might be a game here in-between the ads..... nah, it’s all ads......Version: 1.5.3
✓ Can’t playJust spent an hour waiting for the game to load but instead of loading it drained my battery to 10%.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Hot PhoneFun game, but it really makes my iPhone run really hot. I can feel the heat through my phone case..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Just frustratingI’ve had this a week now on my iPad, ads either don’t give rewards or they crash. Tried restarted several times and no difference, if you want us to spend money on it you need to sort it out!!!!!.Version: 1.8.7
✓ Don’t buy this game it’s just a waste of time.H.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Good game butIt’s a good game but when I went on the event it reset all of my progress why?.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Ridiculous amount of adsI understand free games and the need for ad revenue, but you can’t do anything in this game at all without watching ad after ad after ad..Version: 1.5.1
✓ To many adsWhy do you do this. To many ads and why do you want to track us?.Version: 1.8.7
✓ Big BugI like this game because of a lot of reasons it’s unique, an idle game, has really nice designs, etc. but all of that is immediately thrown out the window by the bug. The bug is a bug that doesn’t allow you to progress further than the first 2 labs when you leave and join the game but you still keep your money. I don’t know why it’s like this but I really want to play the game without having to upgrade my labs all over again..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Bad really badOk.Version: 1.8.7
✓ Do we honestly need another one of these cookie cutter idle games?Seriously, i can get behind a lot of other idle games that have unique aspects, but this one is as basic as it gets. The ‘Area 51’ aspect of it hardly has anything to do with it, and it’s just the same things over and over. Let’s use an idle game I REALLY like for example, the game IdleSupermarket and Hotel Empire. These games are games where you build up your place to look better and better. With hotel empire you get a basic small hotel, and you slowly build it up to look way better and bigger. You can literally add a ski lift. You can also upgrade to different locations and the hotel is themed after it, it’s really nice. This game has none of that. You can upgrade to different locations that look kind of different, but it might as well be the same thing. There is nothing unique about the locations. It’s a game you play at 4:00 am with your mouth wide open, your brain off. And your only body part moving is your thumb and your eyes to occasionally blink. And If that’s what you’re looking for than there are just much better games..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Ok, but some issuesIt’s a typical idle game, nothing special. Some of the translations are broken and just say “English” instead of whatever the English text would be. It also doesn’t warn you when a button is going to play an ad, so you end up getting surprised by what is sometimes a pretty long ad (one was over a minute). The quests icon will also have an indicator on it as if something is done, but when you open the list none are done. I ended up uninstalling the game, mostly because of the surprise ads, but also because it seemed to be the same as many, many other idle games I’ve played..Version: 1.8.9
✓ Pretty good butThere is one issue that absolutely infuriates me. I can’t play music on Apple Music while using this app, I just enter the game and my music stops playing. This doesn’t happen with any other app on my phone. I typically play games like these while listening to music, so this is very frustrating. Other than that, the game is a pretty fun little idle game. Good graphics, and the ads aren’t too overwhelming..Version: 1.5.3
✓ So. Many. Ads.It’s less a game and more an ad shotgun. Every function outside the most mundane requires a 30 second ad. Every 3 minutes of gaming is punctuated by 1 minute of the Internet’s most irritating commercials. The content of the game itself is exceedingly light, so there’s nothing to justify the $10 it would cost to be rid of the ads and make the game playable. It is pretty looking... and that’s about it. Miss it..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Resetting progress don’t bother till fixedSpent a bit of time earning upgrades/cards only for all that time to be wasted on a major bug that reset all my progress don’t play this game until that issue is addressed and I won’t be playing again until either the players effected receive the lost progress back or compensation on some way in game.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Problem with the money.Good game all in all. But now my money keeps resetting every time i enter the game and i don't know what to do..Version: 1.8.9
✓ Fun.. but needs improvements.First off, this game is very basic. Nothing really changes as you progress through the levels. Everything looks the same, just cost a lot more to level up. One thing that absolutely needs to be added is a MAX buy option. The beginning stages of news levels are very annoying. You just hold the buy button for a super long time. There also needs to be more levels. I’m pretty sure I’m about to beat the game.. and it hasn’t even been that long..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Some bugsThe game was fun initially but way too short and pricey. 5 levels is not enough. It needs balancing, what is the point to achieve 1000 levels in the research of it doesn’t have material. The progress goals doesn’t match the pace. Fixed the balanced and added more levels could lead to a 5 stars.Version: 1.7.8
✓ This game is tortureEvery Time you play the game, it resets your progress, WARNING! DO NOT BUY!.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Pretty fun, needs an update badlyI got to the highest site within a few weeks and it seems like this game is dead in the water, I can’t progress any of my missions and it’s painfully slow to upgrade the stations at this point..Version: 1.8.7
✓ The game has too many adsThis game has too many ads i keep geting stuck in the looding screen it takes too much space in my ipad takes allot of battry and my 5g wifi is not enough for some reasons to load in this game is not good.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Keeps resetting after starting event.Diligently played my way through 4 or 5 levels to get to the event, even paid money for double income to support the game. Now when I enter the event, maybe every three times, I find my main game reset to the level my event is on. So if I’ve opened one event business, my main game only has one business. This is a major bug in an otherwise great game. Please sort it out. I’ve lost all my power up progress as well, which means paying for double income and extra gold was pointless..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Boring and brokeDid the latest update, now I can’t build anything or upgrade labs 😡.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Save just disappearedGame ok, had a progressed a lot, but then I closed game today and opened again all gone... disappointing and time wasted!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ It’s alright I guessThe game is fun in some ways but in the salvage department it could be better plus I don’t like the fact that you have to pay 10 bucks to get offline production. Idle games are all the same in the aspect that they have certain things that they all have. I don’t think I’ve ever played a idle where I had to pay for offline production..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Fun at FirstThe game is fun, but the more facilities(bases that you can buy that grants you with a cash multiplayers), however when you buy these facilities, the cost of the upgrades goes up. Not only that, but the amount you need for max goes up as well, when you think you’re making more money it’s actually costing you more the further you progress giving you less money for the pricier upgrades..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Anymore coming?I’m down to the last level and have been for month because I’m barely earning any money at all. I stop by daily or so and every couple weeks I might be able to level one thing up once. That’s it. Are there any updates coming or is this all we have? I’d give it a better rating but it just boring now..Version: 1.8.9
✓ Videos poorThis game would be great if when you click a video for boosts it actually loads a video instead of saying trouble requesting video and you lose your boost chance.Version: 1.5.5
✓ BoringIve not spent any money so fair enough im bored with game, however ive seen no reason to pay money for game as its just repetitive and boring, earn money spend money, not really anything else going on..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Bad gameWhy can’t I actually play the game instead of being stuck on the loading screen?.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Don’t botherHalf the ads crash and you don’t get credit for watching them and you need to watch ads constantly..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Cute, but issuesI’ve loved the game so far - cute, funny, clever - but after unlocking the moon base, my home world resets when I return to it. That’s three times within the last 5 hours. Lost all lab upgrades as well so money flows so slowly on mid-range bases, and gem targets are now out of reach. Funding boost after watching ads doesn’t always stick, either. I also noticed an overheating issue I’ve never had before..Version: 1.5.1
✓ MoonWaited for countdown to the moon and then nothing happened?!?! Any advice?.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Great idle game, problems that show a lack of play testingThis is a very fun game. I think the game is very polished on the surface, but a number of things lead me to believe this game wasnt adequately play tested. Ad rewards are based on amount currently in the bank (about 40% of what you have from what I can tell). This means the fastest (by FAR) way to earn money is by watching ads (1.4^x, with x being number of ads watched). So this could be seen as intentional and the game is an ad cash grab or poor design. Additionally, the UI layout, although pretty, makes little sense. I do not need the in-app purchase buttons always on the screen, if I want to buy them, I would click the shop. Furthermore, I think the prestige mechanic is unclear and doesn’t feel as rewarding as other idle games. (40x -> 50x is a 1.25x upgrade). Additionally with this mechanic, I’ve found that the way prices are calculated seems very unbalanced and unpredictable. In this regard I’m pointing at loading and unloading times being totally different every prestige. Same with a strange balance of cost to build versus cost to unlock the related resource feels completely unrelated..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Started off great but very glitchySo when I first started playing, the game seemed awesome. It’s not one of those games that require you to pay to play. With that said, I did spend a little to support the game since I liked it. During the first event however, the game glitched halfway through and wouldn’t allow me to progress any longer. I immediately emailed support and let them know. No response. I emailed them again a few days later. Still no response. Now the event is over, and I didn’t receive the prizes I should have due to the game glitch and I still have yet to hear back from them. Now I feel like I’ve wasted my money that i put into the game and into that event..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Broken tutorialI launch the game for the first time and I can’t pass the first interaction on the tutorial, it ask me to click between 2 buttons and does nothing from there.Version: 1.7.8
✓ UnhappyI was fine with purchasing No Ads to help generate currency more quickly. I got to the Moon event level by the next evening. I was doing well with the event (I obtained the 3rd highest goal with only two more award goals to go) when I received ‘NAN’ for the amount of currency where i previously had over 500 CC. Since receiving NAN I cannot generate any revenue. Its been 24 hours and the issue has not changed. There is no easy way to contact the devs. I am starting to regret this purchase within 3 days of buying. I will update if/when this resolves. In the meantime: beware..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Game doesnt loadIs there a 0 Star rating? Game no longer loads, had the app open for 30 minutes and all it did was drain my battery. Was an alright game when it worked. But now it doesnt. Dont waste your time downloading it.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Bugs causing huge loss of progress and real world moneyTwice now I’ve come back to the game after doing other stuff on my phone only to find I have lost hours of progress: • Idle bonuses are much lower than expected (I even paid for the extra 10 hours of idle time storage) • Buildings I’ve upgraded are missing and the days of progress are gone • The spin wheel never lets me spin it now that I purchased the “No Ads” Game play is fun enough that I’ll give it an extra star but since the whole point of an idle game is idle play and this one punishes you for going idle (with this huge bug) it really should be a 1 star. I’ll be asking Apple for a refund on my purchases since they aren’t working but will revise my review if the dev patches the game before I uninstall it..Version: 1.5.1
