★★★★★ suzie mills · Jul 9, 2024

"Mad." That was my comment back in 2017 now I have had many phones since I first played shipwrecked, but I could never get my previous game back, so I believe I'm on my 6th game starting over in 2024 already up to level 52 and going hard! Thank you for the Awesome game you have created I have enjoyed and put in alot of hrs with this fun and interesting game i truly appreciate all the great efforts from all the team that made Shipwrecked! Cheers! Suzie M.

★★★★★ Tracey Sprouts · Oct 8, 2024

Great game, it would be so much more enjoyable if I could see the buildings. It's more green squares than actual buildings that I could see.

★★☆☆☆ Jane Vince · Feb 25, 2025

I have download this game loads of times, but the buildings do not appear just black squares I've done everything asked but no change if they can't appear as what there supposed to why play cause most of it ends up being black squares which looks awful

★★☆☆☆ Haipei Ma · Nov 23, 2024

I played this game 10 years ago and got back into it a few months ago. It was exactly as I remember, and I put tens of hours into rebuilding my island. It was great until I cleared my cache in attempt to fix some graphics that weren't loading (as recommended on Po preach's FAQ). Everything on my island turned into black squares. I submitted a ticket to the support team and was only told the team is "currently working on all the issues." Unfortunately newer games are probably more worth your time.

★★☆☆☆ Midnight · Jan 21, 2026

I have the same problem on the black squares not loading. I have restarted and installed the game again, and it still won't load properly. Please fix the issues in this game. Seems this game has a lot of complaints

Trust & Safety: The app requests a wide range of permissions common to free-to-play titles (network, storage, notifications, foreground service, ad identifiers). There are multiple ad/analytics-related permissions, but no location or other highly sensitive permissions are listed. This suggests typical market safety for a casual, monetized game, with standard privacy considerations around ads and data collection.
