• Nice

  by Nickynickynicklerse

  It's challenging but I like it a lot

• Amazing game! But....

  by Naynay763

  I think this game is absolutely fantastic. Possibly the most addicting game I've ever played. But I tried to purchase all scenarios and it keeps saying "Transaction failed" I've tried everything to get it to work. I Even redownloaded the app. It still wouldn't work.

• Fantastic

• Infectious Game!

  by tophuG

  Really engaging and fun. I enjoy the thought and the planning you have to do. Worth the money.

• Great game but....

  by Skyblaze777

  I just installed the new update and I paid for this game and now can't even play it. It crashes on me when I try to play it now. Be4 it would not sow plz fix this plz plz plz I really love the game. Oh and I have a iPod touch 4th gen. With all it's updates if this help

• Very cool game

  by Malachite80

• Very cool.

  by JZHook

  By the end of your first run, you'll be addicted.

• Love this game

  by Ezio AP

  Fun strategy game, time-consuming but definitely the best game I have on my phone. You won't regret downloading it

• Awesome

  by Kwinner3

  This game is totally addictive. Epic!

• Game for the smart

  by Coll$$)&&&&)$$$$$($$$$)

  This is a great game expectioly if you are smart it will challnge u mentally.in secnarios u should add mustard gas make it to where germany and america lose half there population

• Exactly what I was looking for

  by Ncsluciddreamer

  I wanted a game I could play that would keep me entertained for a long period of time but I'm not into candy crush etc I found this and it looked cool and let's just say it's amazing. The replay ability is strong and they don't rip you off by getting you to buy in game items, you can actually unlock everything by playing certain modes. Very awesome definitely recommend this SUGGESTIONS: It'd be cool if they added a multiplayer where one person develops a cure while the other tries to spread the virus and you just try to counter each other. That'd be fun

• Good at first but then

  by SiriLover

  I really like this game. The new scenarios are brilliant, I love it. At first I kept struggling to win because of Greenland surviving etc. But I've learned and created strategies to win, love it.

• 5/5!!!

  by Jase108

  I love this app better than minecraft for me keep the updates coming addicting!!!!

• I like it

  by Kounterstryke

  I like it

• Exactly What It Looks Like

  by WmDG

  If it seems like you'd like it based on the screenshots, description, and reviews, you will.

• Pretty bad

  by Sap357

  I'm happy I only paid a dollar for this. I honestly don't know how people like this game for more than 5 minutes. I think the reviews are by people making money off this app, it's the only thing that makes sense. It's laughable people keep buying this game lol. Edit: I just read over more comments, lol, it's the same guy giving all the praise, I can tell by his writing style. Lol ok nooooowwww this makes sense.

• Addicting

  by crossedmyheartandhopetodie

  Love it!!

• Best game ever!

  by Random Dragons

  It is an amazing game and I can't wait to try again on a different difficulty!

• Get it. Now.

  by Me steal your girl

  by Ggberk2

  This game is great

• Great game

  by ALampton

  This games epic.. It seems so real

• A suggestion

  by Christian 1999 :D

  You should make it on the cheats you can pick the plague you want not the same like bacteria I wanna know how nano virus works with all the upgrade please put it in :)

• I love Plague Inc!

  by Gwenster66

  Plague Inc. is one of my favorite apps now, and you can tell because I actually made a review. It's exciting evolving and spreading your disease, and everything's reasonably priced. Really, look up the in-app purchases. It's just a pretty great app that I really strongly recommend.

• Suggestions and ideas

  by Jimmygu3

  •Cure mode-be on the other end of it (would also make a great multiplayer mode with one person as the plague, and the other as the cure) •Leech, fish, dust mite, or water bug/animal transmission/game mode •Country against country or disease war mode-two countries try to kill the other off with a disease while trying to maintain healthy people and a cure (would also make a great multiplayer mode)

• Crashes

  by Djnjnfg

  The game crashes when I'm using a music app and I can't play and the game lasts forever like 20 min each game that makes it feel like u never gonna finish but its kinda entretaining

• What the heck?!

  by Shaila Montgomery

  I pay for the app then every time I try to play it crashes!

• Too easy, but great.

  by Knuckadeazy-fo sho

  Great strategy game. I would like to see another difficulty level beyond BRUTAL. I can beat it on brutal 80% of the time, so a difficulty of IMPOSSIBLE would be fun.

• Suggestion

  by Whocouldguess

  I think you should factor in that people are born and die every day tho to make it more realistic

• Great

  by K'nexguy123546904578926

  Amazing! Endless fun!

• Great game!

  by Vennyooooi

  The is one of the best games on the app store. The only complaint is that not everything can be unlocked by playing.

• Fun simulation

  by Wolfe Killpack

  Extremely fun. Must get.

• Best game ever, but crashes

  by Lino54115

  This is the best game ever, it still crashes please fix thx

• SO ADDICTIVE!!!!

  by Mikewoodruff

• Need help kinda

  by Cory Bon

• AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  by Skypurpledragon

  This game is amazing and those of you who think z com is hard well it's superpose to because come on humans want to survive and a suggestion add more sepshle plages, cenarios and don't make a second plage inc just more updates. But download the game NOW!!!!!! Oh and add a mode where you are trying to develop the cure. Trust me this game is better than any other deseese game out there. Long live plage inc!!!!

• Super fun

  by Gr9ndm9st3r

  Played this game after a friend recommended it to me; excellent choice. And not expensive either.

• Mix

  by K

  I just wish u could mix the cheats with different diseases but it's a great game

• Suggestion Please Read.

  by Dvina80

  Zombie Mode: The Main idea of "Zombie Mode" is that the disease spreads even faster than a common cold etc. the color of the infected would be red, Zombies black, and immune blue another thing is you can send canister bombs, groups of zombies etc. but other than that its a great game and im glad i purchased it BEST $0.99 I EVER SPENT!!!

• Addicting!

  by Charlie & Punkin

  Although I wish the names could be longer, and that it didn't have to require so much playing to unlock things. But all in all pretty good time passer.

• love it

  by HOLLYWOOD • UNDEAD 4 LIFE

  it could be a bit more realistic though ( the news/ events )

• Buy it

  by silver kiss

  BEST GAME EVER

• No sólo se juegue peste negra gratis

  by Miklos12345

  Ojalá en la próxima actualización los packs de escenarios los expandan y ojalá no sólo se pueda jugar nada más peste negra gratis.

• Greatness

  by Unoztar

  I'm normally not into strategy games, but this is by far one of the best game that I've played ever!!

• Very good can be slow

  by Fashathus

  Highly enjoyable game. Good for anyone who likes strategy games. Only problem I have with it is it can be slow paced at times.

• Great App, suggestions

  by Fighting_Tiger45

  This is without a doubt the best app I've ever had. I also have some suggestions. Symptoms: Early-decomposition When someone is infected there body starts to fall apart and they will completely die in 1-2 weeks in game and it spreads the disease real fast Rigor Mortis When someone dies there body goes completely stiff and it makes the cure research go down 3-5% Sprouting(Fungus only) When someone dies the fungus inside of them starts to come out of their body and after awhile they will rip open and a big mushroom sprout opens up inside their chest and it will make infectivity go up fast I also think for transmissions there should be plant transmissions You should make an ability were it stops the cure research completely for 1 month and you can do it three times but it cost a lot of DNA, 20 for the first time, 40 for the second and 50 for the third.

• That's okay...

  by bob 3000

  It's not like I needed sleep anyway...

• Awesome game

  by Qrxlm

  Loving it!

• This game is phenomenal!!!

  by sunshinnexo

  This game is great, really gets you thinking and is one of the best games I've ever played!

• Crashes

  by Slimeboy

  I have played this game on my friends iPod and loved it but I downloaded it and I can't even play it, it constantly crashes on my iPad please fix this.

• Great addicting game

  by Nye the guy

  This game is amazing! I got it yesterday and I have been stuck on it every time I have the chance to play. It is all I want in a game. Strategy, global outbreak, infections, world destruction. Everything! It is all about strategy. But don't ruin the game for yourself by buying all the plagues. I did and now it is boring but amazing game 10/10 and totally worth 1 dollar!

• Necroa virus

  by Hjshgy

  Why the hell wont it let be buy the necroa virus

• Was fun, but.....

  by Pop Up This

  It crashes whenever I try to start a game. I tried reinstalling it which made me lose my progress and everything, but it still won't work. Please fix it!

• Amazing Game

  by Gxhxydy

  Best strategy game ever period.

• I'm impressed

  by Jacob Porche

  It's one of the only new strategy games today that understands how to entertain the player over and over again by upgrades, updates, and challenges. Nice job on your first game.

• Brilliant game!!

  by Felipe testa

  Congrats and a cool thing to be added would be new form of contagion, and a more realistic map

• .

  by Dman/99

  Almost beat the game on normal my first time! It's a great game!

• Great fun

  by Alafraganza

• Fix

  by Baez187

  Fix crashes please

• Please Fix

  by TheUltimateGamingMachine

  Good game but achievements acting funny.

• Great Strategic Game

  by MoneyMalc15

  I sort of feel malicious when I play this game because I really brainstorm about the best counterfactuals that would destroy mankind

• I LOVE IT

  by NoahPeace1243

  Most awesomazing game I have played alongside minecraft and terraria. I <3 Plague Inc. Also might be a little buggy. A minor bug fix plz thx

• Glad I downloaded this

  by XandraLeigh

  My brother & sister and friends have been playing this game so I decided to see what was so much fun. I'm glad I did! It made me think and plan but wasn't boring nor did it take forever to finish! Great game. :)

• Addicting

  by T101506

  This game is challenging, yet addicting and fun. I can play it for hours without stopping! One of my favorite apps and I recommend it to players who love strategy games.

• Impossible to put down

  by 7jake18

  Very dynamic and addicting. Ndemic, if your reading this, keep making awesome games, and add-ons!! And take peoples advice to make it better!

• Awesome

  by Tuggernuts77

  This game is great! But you can't help but feel a little dead inside yourself when you obliterate all life on earth with extreme pain and no chances of survival. It's very realistic though.

• Infecto

  by Kirklefries

  This is the worst app! The game has no way of ending or moving to the next level! It is a cool idea but has major flaws! Do not buy until they completely fix the way the game works!

• I'm totally hooked, but....

  by Aaaaaaaaä

  I have been reading a lot of the other reviews, and I have to say I'm impressed with some of these ideas, infecting earlier times, aliens, world wars, all of these sound great. You should definitely add most, if not all, of them soon. Personally one of my favorites was infecting galaxies and such. Also, make it a tiny bit easier to get, too many times have I been so close to winning but I am 2 or 3 DNA away from winning

• Five stars,but.......

  by MJGman28

  I love this game,but,I've defeated the Black Death on casual,normal,and brutal but I didn't get the next scenario!please tell me why.

• Addicting

  by Tilaos

  I just played my first game, in casual level. Very addicting.

• fun

  by Colin O'Doherty

  Really fun game

• Pretty Cool

  by Jalen da best

  Its fun and addicting but very creepy

• Great! But I can't move up!

  by Cartecj55

  It won't let me level up to virus so I'm just stuck on the first one

• Best app ever!!!

  by Rhami1

  This game is so strangely fun keep adding more disease types please!!!

• AWESOME!!!!

  by Jacob Awesome Sauce

  It's good

• Good Game

  by Bridges novice

  Plague is an awesome game!! Keep up the good work!

• Fun, challenging decision making game

  by Ackatack

  I've been playing this game for years and love it. The original diseases are my favorite but the special diseases and scenarios are also a lot of fun. I would give this game a 5 star rating except there's a bug in the current version. I haven't been able to narrow it down completely but I've seen it in some of the scenarios and the special diseases. The problem is that the game doesn't respond to taps on individual countries. This means that you can't get data about the country, like how well the disease is spreading or the policies in effect to limit the transmission of the disease. Once that issue is ironed out, I'll gladly reevaluate to 5 stars. To the developers, keep up the good work!

• Good game :)

  by Zierdas

  Fun

• WOW

  by zman2893

  Best game I have played on the AppStore so far. Hope to see more game modes in the future.

• Good job

  by The houlettester

  Very good job!

• Two thumbs up!

  by AleksandrF

  It would be great if you can play a certain disease on the cheat mode but otherwise it's a really great game!

• Would be five star but...

  by kgraddy

  Ever since I got the update it keeps crashing when my game is loading! I'm so excited to do scenarios but it crashes!!! Ugh! I DO really love this app, though, so I hope you'll fix this soon. It seriously just crashes whenever I try to start a new game... I really miss playing it. I was addicted but I can't destroy the world anymore

• Plague inc

  by Nanoblue2@ gmail.com

  Great game awesome

• Awesome game!

  by tkellss

  It's such a fun game but "bacteria" is SO hard to get past. But it's totally worth the dollar!

• Ideas

  by Marcos Alatzas

  This is a great game but I think it's time to add a mode where you have infinite everything and our dont have to buy it.. also there should be a mode where the disease makes people commit suicide and you have to make everyone do it... It could be a insect that takes over the body and makes people commit suicide!!

• RIP human race

  by Daddydodoof3

  What a way to go. Killed by the Staypuff marshmallow man! :)

• Good but could be better

  by Semi toy

  They should make it two player so one person is trying to cure it while the other is trying to kill people with the virus

• First strategy game I've kept

  by tat2d50

  It's simple yet challenging! Having to outsmart the cure and evolving your disease keeps you on your toes!

• Neat

  by Izzydedyette

  Good time killer

• Words can't express

  by Turtle1701314

  This game is so cool what other game allows you to wipe out all of humanity. This game is definitely worth the money

• Amazing game

  by Mrseagbiscuit2595

  This game was great. Love a new disease type though
