Poptropica Reviews

this update with goofball and fairytale is absolutely terrible. it glitches to no end, there was one point where i had to completely restart my phone just to play on it. it was absurd to think that this would work good. shrink ray island is gone, mythology has completely changed, only one arabian nights thats free, poptropicon 2 & 3 are gone, costumizer is gone too, arcade doesn’t work at all anymore, gatalactic hot dogs is gone as well, and that was my favorite island🤬.
again, SUPER glitchy, New You isn’t even there anymore. And whats up with the fairytale sidequest? it says it’s for members only yet when i was on time tangled i found one of the riddles and i could pick it up and everything.
i am deleting this game and it will stay like that until you guys decide that you’ll be nice to people that got your game and tale away this update and put the one before this back. oh and maybe you could make this a paid gamp so you wouldn’t charge 20 bucks a month for a six month membership fee. thanks for reading if you are going to do these.

I love poptrica and its a cute game with cute characters, it’s just that ever since the new update, there have been many complications and glitches. First of all, there is a big problem with saving the current game. When I save this, it says I can spin the wheel, but every time I press the”spin” button, it doesn’t do anything. And then, when I try to get into one of my other games, it keeps saying that it can’t find the player, but I know this is a glitch because it show the name of my character. No matter how many times I put in my password, it won’t let me play. Also, it said I earn 75 credits for saving, but when I do, it leaves me bankrupt. Also, the pop store is worse with this new update. There used to be many cool and free outfits, but now everything is crazy expensive.$$$$$$.
There is a treehouse that says it is coming soon, but I have been playing for 3 years and it never has come. One other thing is, the movie theater. My screen goes plain white when I go in, and I have to swipe the game from my iPads memory to get out of there. I also L O V E D the old wardrobe and skin colors, and mouths. They were so much better!
I don’t see how this new update was an update. I hate it, and looking at the other reviews, many agree with me. I hope you take this to heart and fix it to be the original.
You need to try this game yourself and see the glitches.
Sincerely,
- a poptrica player

I loved playing this app when I first got it, it was one of the only games I played. But now, I almost hate the way the starfish doesn’t show up on the Greek island and I got really mad I threw my iPad so hard I got a crack in it. I really wish you would fix that because I will be VERY mad and I might delete this game. Please tell me if you moved the starfish. If you did then please move it to a easier to find spot. I might improve the rating a bit. Also, whenever I chose a outfit that’s not my most recently added one it says: ‘You can get up to 30 outfits with membership.’ And I don’t think it’s worth getting membership just to get some fancy pets or more room for outfits. I suggest that some pets like the lamb or one other pet should cost money instead of getting membership just for a horse or a bunny. I don’t even know how to get membership anyways. It would also be cool to have houses and for there to be night. And none of the islands a changed accept for maybe the tutorial. So yeah. I really am asking a lot but I would play the game more if AT LEAST one of these was fixed for brought into this app.

This game is AMAZING!!!! My friend introduced me to it and I play it often. I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology so thank you for adding the Mythology world. Thank you! I love the game but I wish there were more worlds!!! One thing, the computer version has more games and I thought: hey, that’s unfair. What if people don’t have a computer or they are going on a trip?” One of my favorite games is the villain one. My other one is the Mythology one, and they are somehow connected because it seems to take place after Mythology. But on IPad/IPhone they don’t have that world and I thought: “why. Just why.”
But other than that, it’s a pretty good game. I like that you can create your character. But I wish you could say whatever you wanted and that you could choose your name. Another thing, the membership is like $6 or so a month and I think that’s a little much. And there aren’t very many worlds that don’t have the membership. I’m almost done with like all the worlds (except the membership my mom won’t buy it) and I wish you guys would like make a new world every month or week for that matter

So I’ve been playing this game on Poptropica cause I loooved playing it on PC growing up. And I’m still just as entertained! I am hoping you’ll add new islands as I’ve almost done every one and some of my old favorites haven’t been added yet, but all the islands that you have already are great and just like I remember them. The glitches make it really difficult to win some levels of the game. I can’t get my medal in Escape from Pelican rock because no matter what I do it freezes on the loading screen right before I get it. And in Poptropicon I can’t seem to get in to the alley where I think I have to collect an item... and I’ve finished Atlantis but I did have to restart that one because of a glitch, I had to restart Mythology and make sure I hung around for Zeus to talk to me cause even though I found his scroll the first time he never told me my mission so I found out I couldn’t continue in my game til I restarted and went back to that point. All in all, I really like it, and I’m excited to see more content, and the game is great. I hope these glitches get sorted so I can continue playing and earn medals!

I would usually give this game 5 stars but recently it’s been crashing whenever I go into the island I was playing. So basically I would play some of an island then close Poptropica then when I come back and press the button that takes you directly to your current island it crashes and I’m back at my Home Screen. I’ve tried going to the islands through the balloon or map buttons and I’ve tried offloading Poptropica (because I can’t delete it or my progress will be lost) and powering off my phone completely but nothing has worked. If this is some sort of bug could you please fix it because I really do love this game, I have since like second grade, and I love playing it ♥️
Thanks to the creators if they ever read this and for making such a great and fun game for all ages. 👍🏼

Hi! First and foremost, just wanted to say that I love this app, and I’ve been playing since early 2010 (and I’m nearly 18 now, and still play for fun). Unfortunately this app’s website is undergoing some remodeling right now and so they have very few islands available, and so I downloaded the mobile app. I’m playing Shrink Ray, and unfortunately I cannot get any further than opening the diary and seeing that the page is torn. This is because the other part of the torn page is in the trash in the kitchen, and although I know that you’re meant to jump into the trash to find it, I cannot find a way into the trash. I’ve jumped from the spray bottle to the trash, I’ve jumped directly onto the trash from the sponge, and I’ve even jumped down from the sink, and still cannot get the puzzle to dig through the trash can. I don’t know what to do! Please help, this app creators. Is it user error, or is it a bug on mobile? Problems like these just make me wonder if there will be others similar to this in other islands, which is why I have rated 4 stars.

I will definitely start by saying that I absolutely love this game and it’s a childhood favorite so I came back to play it again and was not disappointed with the game itself. There are some bugs here and there normally crashing on specific parts of the game and I’ll have to uninstall and reinstall the game but it fixes after that. I will definitely say I was bummed to see that there are A LOT of classic islands missing, and on top of that added episodes/parts of islands that are gone too (there was more survival than I see now and poptropicon). I would love to see the old islands again because some of my top favorites are gone. I have completed all of the islands, I’m just waiting for more at this point.

Also, the Arabian knights 2 has a massive glitch that almost prevented me from finishing the island. It’s where you have to run from the gaurd at the end, it wouldn’t let me throw the barrel. I had to try at LEAST 30 times and spam it before it let just ONE out and I got by. Please fix.

GLITCHES - When I play this app on my device it glitches out and gets fuzzy every once in a while. I still enjoy gameplay but constantly having to get on and off my island is very time consuming.
Also there is a glitch on the second part of Poptropicon where the lady with the blond hair and red jacket doesn't move into the hallway where she is supposed to go.
Also there is a glitch at the end of Time Tangled island where you can't finish the game. After fixing all of time and going to the future, the future will still be messed up. Future you will tell you to come back when you've fixed time, which you have already done.

NO LOGIN - I've completed almost every island available on the this app app. I had a lot of fun playing them but am disappointed my progress cannot be transferred to my PC account.

I've been playing this game since first grade and now I'm a sophomore in high school and I've watched as islands have been added and taken away, this game has remained endlessly entertaining for me but there are parts of it that I miss. For example, one of my favorite islands, Reality TV island, has been replaced with a new version (although fun) it can't quite beat the classic. I also really miss the tribes function- where you could have a really cool common room- and just the old layout of the game in general. There used to be a lot more cool stuff in the store too that I can't find anymore. I understand how every game must update, adapt and change and ultimately become simpler, and it would be silly of me as a high schooler to expect the game to fit what I remember, but I can't help but reminisce. Still, I'm glad mythology island is still here though so many islands are gone and I still love this app so many years later.

So I have LOVED this app ever since I was a little kid, and so when I stumbled across Poptropica on the appstore I knew I had to download it. That was about a week ago, and I have already played through all of the islands, since there are only 15, one of which is the Home Island, one of which is the training island, and one of which is only available to paying members. I remember there being upwards of thirty islands when I used to play it- where did they all go???? Other than this, though, the game is AMAZING! It hardly ever lags at all, and it’s super easy to figure out the controls on a phone rather than a computer. The one other problem I encountered was on Mythology Island, where the weird little goat dude glitched and wouldn’t let me pass by to finish the quest, but I restarted the island and it went fine the second time, and I’m pretty sure it was my fault anyways because I left a scene too quickly. Please, app creators, more islands on Poptropica and honestly, I would probably buy the membership just for nostalgia’s sake.

So I liked the this app you had before the big update with the wheel and the new store and all that. Because you need a membership for most of the stuff in the store and if you don’t you have to wait for new none member stuff to come out and then you have a ton of coins piling up for no reason! And eventually you take away old stuff you could buy and then you don’t even have the choice of buying it.
And there’s not enough customization for the pets, and you can’t even put a collar or anything on them.

And this app Worlds looks a little more fun it advertises it base 24 carrot island so that makes it seem it has the worlds it has on just this app. Because, you can decorate you own house and there’s those other worlds but, I don’t have it.

And I have been trying to complete Pelican Rock for a long time now, but it never remembers how I move the air vents in the workshop so I can’t fool her with the painted pasta, and I’ve tried switching out the drill bit for the pasta while she’s trying to fix the licence plate machine but, that won’t work either and one time a long time ago I did get the drill piece and attached it to the mixer but I could never figure out what to do with it, it didn’t work one windows or anything.

Please help! -ShadowFly09

But all in all the game is pretty good and great for kids who like to figure stuff out.

Hey guys so I just recently saw that this app was for the phone and I got so excited to play because this was such a big game on the computer when I was growing up! Anyways everything was working great I got through the beginners island, plus the first 2 easy ones (24 carrot island and time tangled island) and I accomplished those without glitches. When I got to part one of mission Atlantis, it worked until after I took the picture of the sea dragon/sea horse. When I went to go deeper to the sea my game just turned black, and it even effected my phone call where I couldn’t hear the other person! I cleared Poptropica then tried again and same thing happened, I reset the island and tried again, still turned black even when I went to go back to the surface. I’ve never done this island so I was looking forward to it...
Just want to let you guys know what was going on with my app! Thanks!

Hello everybody that loves this app. I understand that some of you don't like how little worlds there are. It makes you mad upset. Maybe you don't wanna play this app anymore. Just because of how little worlds there are. But all the competitive games in the arcade… Is great. But when you get to the islands you want to finish them so you can go to the arcade and play games with your friends. But… You don't want to feel less then what you are because of how competitive the games inside the worlds are. I understand it makes him more difficult but seriously don't make kids feel less about what they really are and take them out. Or make it easier to play them!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I love this app… I played it when I was a little kid. And now my kids are coming to me frustrated. Because of this app.

So I know you guys don’t want to read one of many reviews but this is important plz read! So, in this app you can play over 20 worlds which is the 4 stars but, MEMBERSHIP! This is sooo annoying! I want cute pets at the pet barn but nope 👎🏼 an annoying 7.99$ a month or something like that. I also think you should add a baby turtle! This would be an adorable pet. Also my cousins this app just glitches all the time and he loses all his progress. I love this game but the membership is ridiculous. I know you want money 💴 but this is just a disappointment.

By the way I love your game and can you please make more games like this like in this app, we should be able to put costumes in our closet without a membership and houses! With no membership then this game would be great 👍🏼 thanks for reading 📖 if you did.

Love ❤️ this app

Ok, I have played this app for a big chunk of my life, since kindergarten (2010) and to my second year of highschool (2019). this app is a amazing game really, and I am sad to see that it will be gone by 2020, tho, before that happens I’m trying to get to some but they are gone for the most part. I don’t know what happened to them but I would like to know why. Oh and one more suggestion, I know earning money can be though but can this app Worlds use a little more of the technique that this app used? The ones in which ads showed throughout the world, Instead of there having to be a membership that limits more than what this app used to limit? This is just a suggestion but it would be nice, although I’m not really an expert on owning a large game and handling it. Anyways, I do hope life is going good for the Staff and the creator.

Sincerely: Aeleen

this app has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old(I’m 17 now). It’s crazy how long this online world has existed. I find it very sad that it doesn’t get near the amount of attention it deserves anymore. They used to have new islands every couple of months and now it feels empty. The storylines were always so adventurous and was a way for me to express myself when I was bored at home. I want it to get the recognition that it deserves, and other children to get to experience the same thing I did as a kid. Now I know you are thinking... what has this got to do with Poptropica ?? Well, to be honest not really anything. Poptropica is amazing, but the storylines in Poptropica is what makes it special. For you kids/adults who have never even heard of this app... it is the most fantabulous game you’ve ever played! I promise you will not regret getting Poptropica !

So first off I want to say I love the changes. Playing this game is like a completely new experience now. I do however have a problem with buying objects for my house. I accidentally bought 5 of the blue heads that were 250 coins. I didn’t realize that as the button didn’t say I had already purchased one, unlike how it did with the other items I purchased. I know I can’t fully blame the game for that as I should have checked before I bought it again. I had got kicked out of the game a few times and just thought it had reset my progress back a bit. I hope that a system comes in later that allows players can sell items they don’t want. Also maybe change the rating on the mythology island down to one skull. With the changes to that island there is no challenges at all. Otherwise I haven’t had any problems with the game so far and I’m really glad that old islands are being brought back.

I have been playing this game for years now and in my opinion is one of the best games I ever played. But recently I have discovered that there is what I think is a glitch. I noticed that when I tried to enter a island that the play button would not work and you could only click it once. I closed out of Poptropica and shut down my phone and none of it helped. I uninstalled and reinstalled Poptropica and the problem seemed to be fixed. So today I tried to download the poptropicon island and it would not load the game (I waited for a minute to see if anything happened). I went back into the game after exiting out of it and saw that the glitch was back. I’m not sure if this is a problem on your end or mine, so if you could look into that it would be great! And also I noticed that on laptops there was more islands than on mobile. I was a bit disappointed about this but otherwise amazing game!

1. I love Poptropica. I started playing it in like 4th grade and stopped for a while, then I got Poptropica again (in 7th grade) and it’s just as fun as I remembered.
2. I love the ability to customize your character and the islands are all so unique and creative, but there aren’t enough islands in Poptropica . I remember there being a lot of islands on the website, so you should put some of those on Poptropica . I’m on Poptropicon about to finish the game so please add more islands soon!
3. I also had problems on the island Mission Atlantis. On the first episode it wouldn’t let me go deeper into the water. I completed a different Island and went back to it later, and it was working, but it was really frustrating. I’m unaware if you’ve already fixed this issue, as I haven’t gone back to this island, but if you haven’t you probably should.
4. Even though the islands are extremely challenging and the difficulty increases quickly, and the game is obviously flawed, it’s super worth it, and it’s a great game to grow up with, as you never grow out of it.

So let me just start of and say I’m so thankful for the creators of the game and the many people who work to make it better for everyone, I’ve been playing since 3rd grade and I’m almost 18 now, honestly never gets old, but since I’ve re downloaded the game on my iPhone 6s it’s been good up until mission Atlantis island, part one, I’m trying to go deeper under the water like I’m supposed to and for some reason when I go down to get there the screen goes black? I’ve tried closing Poptropica and turning my phone off. I’m frustrated because I really want to beat that island. If you could get back to me on that it would be much appreciated😊 UPDATE: So I moved on to a few other islands while waiting for mission Atlanta’s to get fixed, I played the Greek mythology island and I’ve done all I’ve needed to do, I’ve gotten the scroll and the star fish and and the flute, the bull ring and rose, and all I need to do is go to see hades, but the purple goat keeps saying I need to be on a mission form the gods? But I HAVE the scroll from Zeus? If that’s isn’t a mission from the gods idk what is 😂 so I’m sure it’s a glitch, if that could be fixed also it would be AMAZING this is all on mobile of course
