It's cool love the lore but damn if those vault dwellers aren't needy whining little babies! And I'm not talking about the kids either. I do not recommend allowing notifications.

I don't work and doesn't load anything after I press the allow fallout shelter to access media files it just doesn't load anything and im stuck on the loading screen

The game does not save your vaults. I had a level 82 vault that my Google account even recognizes but the game does not. It's meaningless to upgrade anything in this game. If your phone breaks everything you worked at is 100% gone
★☆☆☆☆Joseph Avery-North· Jun 14, 2026
I played when the game first came out. It was fun but ultimately boring and repetitive. I thought I'd try again (something to do on a rainy Sunday). I purchased 32 Nuka Colas and didn't get them. So I contacted support with a screenshot of the receipt. No humans, just AI. It doesn't understand I don't a refund, I want the 32 Nuka Colas. It won't give them to me. It insists on giving me a refund and asked for the receipt it already has. A waste of time.
