### 1/5 — It’s not a bad game 🤷🏻‍♂️

*2022-07-12, version 1.0.3*

It’s not bad, it’s actually a pretty cool layout however it does seem like they are in the beginning stages of the game. With that being said it hasn’t been updated in 5 years. It’s difficult to make money at the start and if you purchase coins they will pull the money from your account but you will not receive stars in the game so I do not recommend making in app purchases but if you just play by the game money it’s not bad. Don’t expect any updates to fix the problems though

### 1/5 — Stars purchase freezes

*2022-06-08, version 1.0.3*

Purchased Star in game 3 times and freezes up and never get them but cc charged. Deleting this scam of a app

### 1/5 — Took my money

*2022-03-15, version 1.0.3*

Tried buying stars freezes up before adding the stars but charged my card 3 times

### 4/5 — Great but could be better.

*2022-01-10, version 1.0.3*

ATTENTION! Join my FB group! Discussions and much more!
**Blue Ocean Tycoon Community**

Awesome game. Enjoying it so far. Could really do with an update or two. I've purchased some stars and the payment went through but didn't get my stars... more Ports would be good so you have a variety around 1 area such as the North Sea, across the coast of England and Scandinavia. Fix the long loading of everything (notice board etc.). Can't connect to Facebook. Maybe an in game forum to make friends with other players. Also you can't change the full name of the vessels. You can't get rid of the first letter so every name has to start with the first letter of the original ships name.  The game has so much potential. Please don't let it die.

### 1/5 — Açılmıyor
