Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We just want to say how fun this game is because we like tycoon games, and it isnt that hard either to become successful.
So good making phones leder board so so so good.
We like it, but it would be better if it took so long to get more money and we would like if they gave a better tutorial.
Its very good, but how come we cant make infinite phones unlike the other smartphone games pls fix this ty -Hecker.
We love the game so far but we have to keep using the same layout over and over just with small tweaks so we suggest adding triple cameras like the ones in the new phones and add maybe even tablets and laptops and watches so your company can grow REALLY big.
We played this game for a while and a few minutes ago it froze, we exited and reopened the app and it was stuck at the grey screen do not play.
We turned on our phone and the we had to restart the game from scratch.
You get to create your own phones and it has a lot of options. It has some ads but not constantly.
This game is the best game ever we have played it all makes perfect sense to make a game this perfect we have never played a game like this.
This game is the best, in our opinion, its very good, it has no ads and its fun to play when youre bored! Game.
In the game you can get employee and make smartphones out of all the tycoons we have played this is our favorite.
Its good and fun and pretty addicting and the add was awesome and true when we see other adds there fake Im mean the add looks fun but the actual game isnt that fun and we like that about this game its very fun thank you :).
O our God we are stuck playing this game and it has been the best game ever.
We really like the game but you can only make up to 2 camera phones and that stinks because we really wanted to customize one to look like an 11 pro max, so please add more customization features also we want to be able to sell the phone in different colors, other than that great game, we hope you guys can add these things.
This is a really fun game and we have been looking for a game that actually lets you build your own smartphone. This does that and its really cool. We think though it would be even cooler if at a certain level you upgraded other products like smart watches, smart flip phones etc. Because then it would expand tre game for more things to do. We just started an hour ago so we havent done everything yet so maybe that is a thing but Im guessing most likely no. Over all a fun and an addicting game.
The game is fun and cool but we wish u could make all screen phones with a notch or with a punch hole.
El juego en si es sper bueno pero necesita mas cosas de personalizacin despus de un tiempo ya no sabes ni que crear. Si hacen eso de seguro les doy 5 estrellas.
Yes, they did copy the original and we did have the original. But, if you ACTUALLY had the game, like we did, you would know that this game is just WAY BETTER than the other one. Now, that game is a LITTLE more interesting, but it lagged a lot for us, but since this one is newer, its more interesting and it lags less, and we think they took care of the add thing. We personally havent had to watch any ads yet and Ive had this for like, 30 minutes almost and played for 3 1/2 minutes soooooooooooooo… Yeah.
We need more customization on the phone like making your own os, memory, camera options, sound options.
Did restart and paid 1.99 didnt get 10 gold phones.
Everybody listen up! Every time we enter the app, we are back at level one! Waste of the $0.99 for no ads we spent on the app. When we thought we paid for no more advertising, we were forced to watch an advertisement for the ad boost ! Five second ads throughout the game, and thirty second ads for ad boosters , that , in our opinion, are not worth it! We say, just use your data to FaceTime your family . if you dont have FaceTime, use something like it.
Dont use the $ sign as currency in a game with microtransactions.
We wanted to customize it as far as we wanted to, but we had access to everything at the beginning. It would be nice to have more features and the ability to make any screen design.
Please read this. This game is fine but there is one thing that is confusing. The employee Selena is too much money. It was the like the 4th employee and her costed too much. Read this. Pros: we have seen no bugs so far You can click to get more money It is like another game we like which is good Cons: Selena is too much money Making one phone takes a lot of time Some employees face different ways so we cant see theyre faces Other than that the game is pretty good.
This game has no cool features and has lots of ads.
This game is sap addictive.best game.
We just started the app and got 100,000I just started the game.
Great game and all but since the new iPhone came out then they could add the triple camera. Other than that they have a pretty good and fun game. We would recommend to any friend.
We think this game is overall good and addicting, which is what we look for in a game, the ability to customize your phone is a nice feature to, so overall this game is great, but there are a LOT of 5 second ads but at least their 5 seconds.
This is an awesome game but it needs more options for Batterys and phone designs. Like maybe even iPads and Smart Watches. So more options when designing a phone would be nice. And Also competitors that release phones every so often that you try to 1-up. Other than that? Well its an awesome game! Review Done.
If you love idle games then your gonna love this one . Pretty addicting, we can play for hrs . Guess we dont have a life lol.
We have been playing this game since yesterday and we love it so much. We only have two problems with the game though.. Problem #1 would be that this game has WAY too many ads and yeah we know you need to make money somehow but as soon as we get on there is a 5 second ad, now there is nothing wrong with that but a few minutes later you get a 30 second unskipable ad.. And you keep getting them in 2-4 minute intervals. Second and last problem is that there is barely features to customize your phone…. We mean the memory only goes up to 4GB. You cant even make the design like an iPhone X and we were looking forward to that. Other than those two this game is perfect.
Good game it kind of like apple.
Its a good game if your bored you can play this game.
When we saw the photo to make custom phones we were like, Apple? More like pineapple! It's really cool.
We just played this game and we love this game its the best clicker game Ive ever played.
So we like it because you know can make your own phone but it is really slow. But other than that it is pretty fun.
Cool idea but you guys are giving the player way too much to do. Your first smartphone can have all the features you want. We suggest having the player customize the look only and give a description like, idk, Stone Age technology, impeccable battery life, great as a door stop. Or something. You could also just lock some of the features and unlock them as you progress. Also, the tutorial doesnt give much info on most everything. This could be a good game but it needs more thought.
Hi, we just downloaded this game today and we gotta say its a pretty decent game… But one thing that we dont like… 1.THE CONSTANT CLICKING you have to click 6.5 K times to buy your first employee. Honestly, in our opinion your first staff member should be free to get a head start. 2. The fact that AFTER you make a phone you cant see peoples rating on the phone. That would be nice… 3. There should be a Automatic clicking option so YOU dont have to do it. 4. The tutorial. Well, the tutorial wasnt that helpful. It just showed you the buttons. Didnt explain much. Like to see the improve. Overall, it a DECENT game. Keep it up.
Its cool that you can make phones but its too much stuff to do and its confusing.
We love that you dont get spammed with adds like other idle games. We also like that you can create how your smartphones look and work. This is so Far the best game we have ever played. We also heard that if you write a review you will get $50,000 credit so if that is true then we will change it to 5 stars.
We Like this game but there are a few Suggestions that we wanna make. First of all when you customize your phone the customizations youve made arent final nor is there really a way to Save your Battery Power on the phone, resolution, etc.. The game Graphics arent that bad but we would really love If you could maybe boost it a little and we have Ads Every Second it seems like and we are wondering why there are quite a few ads.
Im true! You stole music from one of our other tycoon games we play! And codiegames has copyright! That means no one or company can steal music or idea.
This game is bad because when you try to edit one of your phones it makes you do the whole thing over and there is not back button we think this would be fixed.
This is the worst game ever do not buy.
We think this app is perfect ! We think the only thing that is bad is that there are some glitches.
Dont know what to say except $$$$.
Its hard to get money but im a noob so 5 stars.
We LOVE idle games but it drains our battery really fast but we cant help playing this game its soooooooo fun yall did amazing and keep up the good work Id love to see what you got in store for all of us.
We downloaded this game yesterday and it fun already its amazing download it.
