### 1/5 — Not worth the price.

*2019-02-04*

Better off spending money on the items at the prison and that money goes to the parks.

### 1/5 — Shight App!

*2018-11-02*

Bait & Switch app. Tons of popups. It’s a lie.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-09-30*

Instantly loads of pop ups and asking for my apple password to download it's paid section. 

Also the ui is awful and just feels very empty as a whole. I'm sure there are better apps out there

### 1/5 — Not a free app

*2016-01-05*

While this app appears to be free, the free version is nearly useless. Trying to do almost anything means finding that it is "locked" and needs a $2.99 purchase. Even worse, it seems to get stuck on these lock screens, requiring the app to be restarted to get back to the handful of paragraphs of information that is accessible from the free app.

If you want a paid app, then go ahead and download it (and leave a review!). But if you're looking for a free app, look elsewhere.
