If you’re downloading this expecting a fun game or a zen calming app, go elsewhere, maybe check out tap tap fish or something. This app is just an experience, something to make you think. Some people downloaded this without looking into what it is. My advice: Don’t spend your money on something if you’re not completely sure what it is or if you’ll even like it. Anyway, I do enjoy the sound effects and messing with the piano. As someone who likes to look and click on things, I enjoy this. -- Guy >:(, 2023-09-03 ### **--- "Two stars for.. trying. I guess?" It only took me so long to realize that Mountain is an uninspired derivative of Getting Over It because by the time I stumbled upon GOI about a year ago, I had completely forgotten about this one. I played with Mountain a few times and wanted to like it, but it seemed something was missing from its attempt at existential irony. I saw its icon while paging through my games folder just now and it all made sense: why Mountain was made and why it misfires. Even as a joke, which it may well be. If you think you might like Mountain, try Getting Over It. Both are very offbeat and both are exercises in frustration and learning to live with unhappy accidents. But GOI gives you something interesting to fail to do, over and over and over again- and its commentary is much more subtle and engaging. I am still failing to win Getting Over It. but winning is not the point with either of these. GOI, though, does have a point—and a narrative arc that changes. Not by much, but it makes a tremendous difference. -- ErikSF999, 2023-01-25 ### **--- "Needs to be updated for phones with notches" There is text that pops up occasionally, but I have no idea what it says, since it’s hidden behind the notch. -- JClark, 2022-10-12 ### ***** "Love it" Great app. Any time I want to ponder the meaning of my existence I use this as a kind of visualiser. I would really like to read the thoughts as well but the notch on my iPhone makes it impossible. -- Cashy Killer, 2022-08-15 ### ***** "Insightful." I didn’t know what to expect and I think it helped me in being completely open to whatever the mountain would be. I found myself looking at the mountain as something I want to protect. Green, serene, void of anything negative. Suddenly, an old fridge crashes into my serenity. I can feel the discomfort, my urge to do something to “fix” the scene, clean it up. Then I realize there’s nothing I can do but accept it, release my anxiety about it and seek ways to welcome it and other unexpected or unwelcome things into my mountain (world). A great exercise in letting go of the urge to control and just accept the beauty of everything as it evolves. -- Bavenous, 2021-11-16 ### ***-- "How to reset? I didn’t know I was supposed to draw anything." Please? -- 90'skidontheblock, 2021-04-18 ### ***** "Can’t read the ‘Thoughts’..." Sadly the ‘thoughts’ are not readable at the top due to the shape of the iPhone 12 screen. I really enjoy checking out my mountain, playing notes, moving around the stuff that crashes into it. But I really love the overall atmosphere it creates with the sounds and visuals. -- orangeshipbuilding, 2021-02-23 ### **--- "Kinda boring, strange bugs" This game is not suitable for iPhones with Face ID, and the thoughts are cut off on the top. -- SkepticInPA, 2021-02-04 ### *---- "Awful game" Not fun. No instructions, and deprsseing from an envirmental view. Wast of time. -- Krizmatic208, 2021-01-22 ### **--- "I hope you like 3D models" You can look at some 3D models for a $1. Some people seem to enjoy this for some reason. -- Stagnations, 2021-01-03 ### **--- "Boring ... and kind of depressing" I don’t get the point of this game. Is the developer having a joke on us? What’s the point if we can’t start over? It’s dumb. -- Patricia in RM, 2020-12-04 ### **--- "Depressing" The graphics are wonderful, but watching my mountain become polluted with an unending array of junk which I can’t do anything about is far from the relaxing experience this game is supposed to engender. I would have been happy to pay a lot more for the relaxing experience I was promised, but as it is the 99 cents I paid for the game is far too much. -- F&*#k it, 2020-11-21 ### *---- "No thanks" The trash gave me anxiety. I use to clean houses for a living, I’m👏🏻having👏🏻 flashbacks. The mountain us just something to stare at and that’s it. I’d rather look outside than stare at this... -- Sugardump, 2020-11-18 ### ***** "Actually pretty calming" When I played this, I didn’t really think much of it at first, but I started to see that it was very calming to me, especially when I play the keyboard thing, because the notes are just so pretty and relaxing to me. Also, I read some of the reviews that said that you can’t pick up the trash, but you actually can if you press and hold it for a few seconds. Just thought I’d mention that so people wouldn’t hate on this game for that. -- meatloaf_boi, 2020-08-09 ### ****- "This is exactly what it says it is" You are a mountain. I don’t even know what to rate this. Please just leave me alone right now -- spikestoyou, 2020-04-15 ### *---- "Boring" What is the point? There is none! -- Hogwartsfan101, 2019-11-26 ### *---- "Not impressed" Firstly: This games goal is to be a relaxing existential experience as you watch over a mountain. Secondly: I purchased this game with this idea I mind Thirdly: This game hardly delivered by any means. It’s boring, there is no goal or tutorial. It’s just a chore. Is there story? Barely, just some generic psychobabble ramblings What is the gameplay? Nothing, all you do is spin the mountain around. -- JamesOfApple, 2019-10-14 ### ***** "Transcendent" We need more art like this. If you’re looking for a game, this isn’t it. This is a little universe you can look in on time to time. Buy it even if you don’t want to. We need to support this developer. It’s only 99 cents. If you like this, try his other philosophical experiment, “Everything.” -- Function Call, 2019-09-15 ### ***** "It grew on me" I’ve been running it under TvOS for several days and I can understand why some people are very negative about it. But if you leave it running, especially with a good sound system, it adds a minor, somewhat melancholy, but also interesting element to the day. It reminds me of Bob Shaw’s “slow glass”. My son thinks it’s just a Big Troll, and I’m familiar with David OReilly and maybe that’s how he thinks of it, too. But I’ll invoke the Author Fallacy and claim that it doesn’t matter. Mountain can be a small but interesting addition to your day, if you want it to be. -- Craig8128, 2019-08-18 ### *---- "It’s JUST a model" Could have watched a real mountain for free. -- BraveSirRo6in, 2019-06-20 [View all Mountain reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Mountain Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Algeria | Games | #356 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Games | #419 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Games | #452 | | Top Paid | Finland | Games | #492 | ## Mountain Discovered Keywords - mountain ## Mountain Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/united-states) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/japan) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/united-kingdom) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/germany) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/canada) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/russia) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/italy) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/south-korea) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/france) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/sweden) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/australia) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/norway) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/spain) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/netherlands) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/hungary) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/czechia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/turkey) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/thailand) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/brazil) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/argentina) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/belgium) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/austria) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/switzerland) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/taiwan) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/israel) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/lebanon) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/vietnam) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/south-africa) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/philippines) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/colombia) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/portugal) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/poland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/chile) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/indonesia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/singapore) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/slovakia) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/azerbaijan) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/belarus) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/hong-kong) - [Croatia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/croatia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/ireland) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/india) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/iceland) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/kazakhstan) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/lithuania) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/madagascar) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/north-macedonia) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/nigeria) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/peru) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/pakistan) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/romania) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/saudi-arabia) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/united-arab-emirates) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/ukraine) - [Uzbekistan](https://apptail.io/app/mountain-gisg/uzbekistan) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
