Weed Inc: Idle Tycoon Reviews

by Duznoh

Anybody saying this game is fun is lying to you or easy to please. Nothing you do in this game makes you feel like you’re making a difference. You have no relation to the customer. They all buy the same amount every time. Your actions dont affect you. The ad offers are obnoxious and they dont end when the timer is over and the x takes forever to appear. So you basically watch a whole minute ad saying its only 30 sec and all they give you is 5 tokens or 5 common strains way too often. If theres nothing to upgrade all you can do it tap your budtenders to harvest faster but doesnt give you much. This game is an ad milker. The game obviously is trying to make you feel behind the whole time so you feel the need to watch ads. And the ads seems worth since theyll give you 2x cash but one upgrade cost 10 trillion.

So to summarize it’s a fun game but the bugs will mess up the fun eventually and never delete the game or get a new phone because if it messes up support doesn’t do any support for you.

Here is my issues!

I really enjoy this game but the bugs starting getting really bad. That was just the start of it over a month ago the bugs were messing up the game play and support kept telling me to update the game to the newest version so I did and it worked for a week or so then started again. So I contact support again and same information was give for the fix but this time there was no new update so it leads me to believe they just have the automated system with generic responses. I was sending them screen shots and all with no help. Then to top it all off to try and get that update they said would fix the issue I deleted the game and downloaded it again and now my game won’t upload and yet again no help from support.

I have been working hard for weeks using the old goals system and was one goal away from unlocking a gold crate when they updated the system.

Not only did this change rob me of a chance to get quite a lot of items which would have been super helpful to me, but the new system requires you to accumulate 150 points for the final daily goal reward while there is only a total of 145 points you can earn per day. I don’t know which idiot thought nobody would notice that.

On top of all that, the new daily goals system puts a major restriction on players with little to no gems because they don’t want to pay for things, or they can’t. Before we would complete a goal and earn a small reward and points would be added to the goal bar. Now you just get points for the bar, so players are getting significantly less items to expand their farm. The game is already slow enough, why would you make it even slower and harder?

What are you gonna have in your next update? Is the DEA gonna burst into your business every day, take all the gems, money, and tokins you have, shut down your business and make you start over every day?

I wish I could rate this game negative stars. It is quite obvious the game is leaning towards a pay to win model, and the players at the bottom are getting shafted while the people who have money are the only ones actually having fun.

I downloaded this game about six months ago because I work at a restaurant and sometimes there’s a lot of downtime in the beginning of the shift and I really enjoyed the game but unfortunately I lost all my progress all six months worth of progress because I got a new iPhone logged in and it made me start all over from the beginning. When I reached out to the developer to see if they can fix it they didn’t do anything they emailed me back telling me that they fix the bug and there was nothing fixed. I really wish they would fix this and give me original save. I also spent real money to buy some upgrades and all of that was lost. They won’t even credit me back my money that I spent on their app. They are definitely a bunch of lazy thieves that can’t solve a problem like find my save point or at least give me some game credit. I’m sure they can see that I have donated to their stupid game.

The game is decent. A little bit slow. Your typical grind it out. You *can* pay, but also easy to play free if you don’t mind the ads. But I opened this game today, and I got a notification that said WeedInc had pasted info from my clipboard. Went to google and found out apps can do this. WeedInc will steal info from your clipboard. What other reason would it need to paste from my clipboard while loading into the game, no text boxes or anything. After some Googling, this is an ongoing issue, which Apple “patched” with the notification that I saw. Why Apple hasn’t completely fixed this, and has only added a notification that tells you that your privacy has been invaded, I have no idea. But I can’t thing of any reason why they would need my clipboard other than info farming, stealing credit cards, etc.

TL;DR: WeedInc will paste and steal things from your clipboard without your permission. Apple isn’t stopping it, a simple google search will confirm all of this information.

Disgusting business practices. Out in the wide open.

I was having fun when I first started playing this game. I quickly realized this was 5% game, 95% Ads... 30 second ads at that!?! Which only got worse with this new update. Within 5min of playing you watch the exact same 30sec ad at least 8-9 x’s. Also with the new update, auto arrange sorts my bud to a cheaper value & it seems like it was much easier to earn $$ before. I’ve been trying to buy a new table in the same room for 3 days now! Between all the ads and days of no progression this game is getting BOR-ING!

Another annoying feature (which has happened with different games Ive played in the past) some ads will spontaneously have volume, even though your phone is on silent, & no mute button. Super annoying if you’re somewhere very quiet or can’t have the volume on.

Cut down on the amount of ads & shorten the duration to, at most, 10-15sec. Make it an actual game again!

by Adirondackdarling

I think that this would be the perfect game if the programmers made the ads mutable. I think it’s beyond reason,at this point, to expect INTERESTING ads for things we would LIKE to purchase, like in the old days?? Now our ads are filled with screams, drowning people, animals being abused and needing us to save them…and if you could watch the viewers, you’d see them yanking off their headphones and tearing out their earbuds because the screaming advertisements are out of proportion to the relaxing game they were just playing! 🤦‍♀️ What mantra do advertisers tell themselves when they make these ads?. Nobody is listening anyway, so let’s just slap something together? How about a contest for who can be the most offensive? The other game I play, Eggs, inc, keeps having an ad for a game and the ad includes rubbing salt into the wound of an injured llama while it cries. You just have to wonder what kind of sick individuals y’all are paying to come up with your ads!!!
Eggs inc is rated for 4 yo + the ads certainly should be rated R for abuse to the animals!! I am sincerely hoping NOT to see that ad on here!!

If you are looking for a solid tycoon game well this is for you. You are selling weed what’s not to love. It’s cool you can buy cities and areas to grow your weed and make loads of cash. There are plenty of cool strains of weed to plant and tapping them gives a weird but fun enjoyment. There are a few flaws however. Progression is pretty quick for the most parts however things can stall after a long while, especially in the middle of the first city. Micro transactions aren’t too terrible in this game since you can easily get the full experience without them however the ads are my problem. WeedInc doesn’t force to watch ads but every minute an offer will come (pretty good sometimes game breaking ones at that) to offer cash or other stuff. The issue is it comes up way too often which honestly makes you feel bad for the game seeing it keeps throwing game breaking offers at you left and right and is honestly my biggest complaint (not to mention the ads on display are cheap low budget zombie and cowboy games which nobody likes). Overall though the game is pretty solid, has okay replay value to check in on a few times a day in your free time and is one of the better tycoon games on WeedInc Store

I LOVED this game. Have had it for a while now. My favorite part is the ads weren’t pushed so hard. You didn’t have this feeling of having to deal with ads in order to get through the game. But since the new update that’s been changed. Seems like the ads are forced on you. Prime example is when you try to “auto-arrange” if you have done it in the last 24 hours you have to watch an ad. So you either cut the amount you play and advance the game or you have to watch the ad, and when you’re actually playing you’re going to expand a lot and need to arrange everything. I’m honestly a bit bothered by it and wish it would be fixed.

After the recent update that has come out there has been noticeable lag in game especially in the strain and manager upgrade screens. There is a long pause in between those two menus that weren’t there before. Another problem the game has is in the ad system as most ads break. What I mean is that whenever you tried to click the X to exit an ad the screen darkens and doesn’t allow you to exit thus not only freezing your game but also making you lose your reward. I’m sure this is due to optimization as I’m using an IPhone 13. Other than these issues this game is very addicting and always adding new events.

While I have found this game super fun the first month or so of playing I’m starting to hit some frustrating points. The first two weeks of game play all Ad bonus content worked mostly fine .... mostly ... now that I’m at the point of having several locations and the weekend events the AD timers barley play. It’s essentially opening and reclosing WeedInc every few minutes to get boosters to a point where they can be left alone for more than an hour.

If this is intentional content blocking to keep game usage rate up might I suggest adding a remove ad’s purchase option. At this point I’d be more than happy to pay for no ads like most other idle games to avoid the whole situation all together.

I just started playing this game not that long ago. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and haven’t felt the need to pay real money. My only issue is recently the game has started crashing after videos. When I go in the changes I made prior to the video is gone and the bonus time didn’t get added. Happens almost every time I watch a video to speed up the expansion. Considering it takes 8 hours to expand at 30 min reduction per video...that’s 16 videos to watch. And when it crashes after almost every single one it gets frustrating and old quick. I’d give it a 5 star rating if the videos didn’t cause WeedInc to crash. I’m on WiFi btw so it’s not my connection causing the crashing.

This is an amazing game. Somehow, it just doesn't feel like other idle games... it is just so much more special and entertaining. Perhaps because you can have multiple locations and unlock and upgrade new strands. The reason I am not giving 5 stars is because this game drains my battery. I had just taken my phone off the charger and after about 10 minutes of playing, my phone's battery was at 65%. It also heats my phone up a lot. I do have an iPhone 6 on iOS 10 which is about 2 years old. The battery life is probably about 80% of what it used to be. But not many other games drain my battery this bad. It's usually only ones with amazing graphics that you'd only see on consoles and PC. But I guess this is an exception. Despite this, it's still an amazing game. Just wish I could play without needing to also have my phone charging.

So I love this game. I have spent way too many hours playing this game over the past 6months ish. It’s easy to zone out and if you forget it for a day or two it doesn’t put you behind.. great for my adhd/depressed brain. One thing I have noticed though recently is more and more whenever I try to hit the bonuses or the doubling option for watching ads, either the ads don’t work at all or even worse, I will watch the entire ad only for it to crash at the end and not even get the bonus reward I specifically watched the ad for. For instance I am going into WeedInc , I am treated with the “you have made___ while you were gone. Watch WeedInc and you could double it.” I watch the entire ad and it goes to transfer back to the game and it says that the video isn’t working. It’s a small issue but still rather annoying. If I am going to sit through the same 3 ads over and over I would like what is promised.

First off, it has a tutorial. This is already worthy of 5 stars because most idle games are just there with the most basic of controls/features and don’t want to waste money on tutorials. Second, in the last 4 months I’ve had it, it hasn’t crashed once. Most other games that I play always crash and it’s a big issue. But this game is different and that’s great. Another feature I enjoy is the attention to detail when you overflow the growing bin or have too many bottles on the shelf. It’s stuff like that and also people walking in and out of the store on the sidewalk. Just little details that I’m sure everyone enjoys. 5 stars

So far after playing for a couple hours this game is pretty addicting, it takes different elements for different genres and make it there own in this game, What surprises me the most is how balanced this game is with micro transactions, its not a need to buy any but the game does slow down after the first hr maybe so it’s tempting also your supporting the devs, honestly my favorite time waster due to how they found the middle ground between the system between free and micro transactions, Other big devs need to take notes from this game since every mobile is riddled with micro transactions with frustrating game play

by Frank3nghoul

Fun, addicting. But when you reach out just past the billions, the dispensary slows down and can’t keep up with the production, and the customer selling is TOO SLOW. Unreasonable selling prices for the upgrade price has made my arms tired from tapping. The weed buying/upgrade price is unreasonable for how much is being produced. Then it suddenly turns into a pay to play. In other words, the ratio of money earned to money you have to spend to make more is like 1:10

One will get into the quintillion’s maybe after a year of game play, if your arms haven’t fallen off.

————EDIT - I’ve breached the Quintillions, had to be away but the rate of which you make money while away seems a little user friendly, keep playing and don’t give up! I give 5 Stars now

I absolutely love this game! There is lots to do and its fairly easy to progress (even without paying money). While it does take some time to collect enough cash to expand/renovate, there are plenty of objectives to keep you busy in the mean time. There are multiple daily challeneges and daily loot. There is constantly some type of event and/or tourny going on with decent rewards at the end.

One thing i would like to see is some type of customization. It gets boring looking at the same background all the time. Maybe at the end of each event, if completed, also gain the theme of the event. Like the skins and background and beable to use it back at a home base. But its just a minor detail that would make the game feel a little more like your own. Nonetheless its still a great game and i highly recommend!

I love a good strategy game like the next phone addict and this one delivers. I like the new add ones as well with daily incentives to log on and see how your “farms” are doing and the expansions are difficult but achievable which makes the challenge of getting them worth it. My only real problem with this game is it crashes so much. If a certain ad comes up for the hourly multiplier, it crashes. If I’m trying to get a random incentive by watching an ad, it crashes. Lately it crashes just because I switched locations and skipped the ad so it wouldn’t crash. Can’t win here. I even tried it on different devices and I’ve had the same issue. Ah well. Hopefully the developers work out the kinks because I refuse to spend money at all in an app where I’m. It even sure my progress has been saved. I’ve been burned by that before.

by Chivatiolowks

The game has some issues that I really Hope I never run into which is why it gets a 5 for now. The way it loads up to Facebook has had me lose standings in tournaments and I’ve lost money so I don’t like that I have to stick to playing in one device unless I want to keep loading a saved game that isn’t how I left it. Also sometimes it tells me to collect my money and when I push it it’ll quickly go away and show me the gems or ad option and I end up giving gems without the game asking if I’m sure I wanna do that like it does when you upgrade your rooms and you accidentally push the pay gem button there.

I really enjoy this game. It is fun to play even without making any in-app purchases. The prestige system is fun and I love obtaining new strains. My only issue is I have looked for guides and such online and I can’t find an explanation as to why two of the same strains make different amounts. For example, if I plant Sour Diesel in one plot and then another Sour Diesel in the plot next to it, the one on the right makes more per second than the one on the left even if they are the same level with the same number of budsmen. I think this is because each additional plot is worth more than the previous ones but I have not been able to find a definitive answer. But overall it is a great game!

EDIT: The developer responded and let me know that yes each additional plot generates more value than the one before it and they are working on making this more clear within the game. Thanks devs!
