### 2/5 — Operation of the game

*2026-05-09, version 2.2.2*

I’ve used the game for a while now and I haven’t been able to make it 5 minutes into the game before it says I died from something completely random like my kidney failed and the game gave me no notice. On top of that hospital visits had gone from a couple hundred to tens of thousands for no reason. I’m not giving the game a bad review because of these problems, more so for the way the game operates. If adjustments were made then I’d give it a better review.

### 4/5 — Not great in VoiceOver

*2025-03-26, version 2.2.2*

Excellent game, reminds me of the old PC days. Only problem is some buttons have no description and voiceover.

### 2/5 — Glitchy AF.

*2024-10-23*

Fun game I used to play on the PC years ago.
Forget trying to play a long game though, it crashes and will not resume - just crashes over and over again. Got a cheek charging money for something so unusable.

### 3/5 — Like the classic but…

*2023-02-27, version 2.0.2*

The original was free. Nobody wants ads. Go away

### 4/5 — Excellent update

*2023-01-20, version 2.0.0*

Great game. Classic. Recent update is a big improvement, too. Only criticism is the game mutes your background music, sounds, etc.

### 4/5 — It would be better……

*2022-09-19, version 1.3.3*

That app is cool. It would be better if the weapons worked on the app. Is there a issue? Can’t give a five star cause of it 🤷🏾‍♂️

### 4/5 — Fun

*2022-08-31*

Love this game played it so many years ago awesome!

### 4/5 — Fun as ever but ready for an update.

*2022-02-04, version 1.3.3*

Not sure when this was last updated but seems like it’s nonstop cop chases now. I usually play on Medium difficulty so I tried basic and easy to see if there was a difference and as far as cop chases, there wasn’t. 

Otherwise, the game is just as addictively fun as ever.

### 2/5 — Not the same anymore

*2021-12-07, version 1.3.3*

I’ve played this game for over 25 years. I was so happy when I found it for my tablet over three years ago. I loved it haven’t played it, it wasn’t exactly the same as on PC but super close. I did an update and now it’s all just weed. I shouldn’t have to take the time to edit the products!! if you wanted one for just weed you should’ve made a new app. I like the way it was before, will be removing from my tablet.

### 4/5 — Bring crack house to iPhone

*2021-10-06, version 1.3.3*

Stop playing and just make crack house available for I phone I would pay for that in a heartbeat

### 4/5 — Blast from the past

*2021-09-25*

Wicked little game, plays smooth and reminds you of the old game through its various characters and gameplay. Only thing I’d say needs improving is the UI, make it look nicer or maybe add some animations.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be fun

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.2*

This game entertained me for hours. Now it blows. Used to get good numbers, everything was better priced and you could make serious money. Now, it’s like you’re using the developer’s money. Would not recommend anymore

### 1/5 — Forcing users to accept cookies

*2026-03-07*

You can’t even try the game without paying or accepting cookies. You’ll lose a huge segment by doing that. You should figure another way to monopolize.

### 1/5 — Old PalmOS game — used to love it

*2026-01-24, version 2.2.2*

Updated version of a super old Palm Pilot classic. Love it. Very true to the original with a few minor tweaks.  Great work.

Update 1/2026 — stopped working, white screen when loads

### 1/5 — No point in playing this

*2025-08-01, version 2.2.2*

It’s short gameplay, with no saving, and no progression

### 1/5 — Locks up

*2025-03-21, version 2.2.2*

Used to work great. Now just stops at start up. White screen. iPhone 15 pro max.

### 1/5 — Dont work

*2025-01-16, version 2.2.2*

App was great but all of a sudden stop working

### 1/5 — GDPR breach

*2024-10-11*

According to Article 4(11) of the GDPR, consent for data processing must be freely given. Demanding consent in return for access is a breach of data protection law. As a result of this flagrant breach, I have no confidence in your data processing procedures, and therefore shan’t be providing consent. Furthermore I intend to report this to the relevant authorities for investigation. I award you one star (although it would be less if I could) and suggest you re-evaluate your data collection procedures. Good day to you sir.

### 1/5 — This game is just OK!!!

*2023-12-24, version 2.1.7*

It could be much better. I used to love this game when I was younger but there’s problems with this version…

### 1/5 — garbage

*2023-03-16*

its an ad revenue generator, or pay 2 win. and the critical reviews have been hidden by the developer

### 1/5 — UI update is miserable

*2023-01-23, version 2.0.0*

I had an older version of this app whose appearance was a bit plain, though at least it was relatively clean and functional.

Unfortunately it got auto-updated 2.0.0 before I could intervene and the “updates” are pretty intolerable. Text, icons, and buttons are overly enlarged and colorized to where the screen is a visually cacophonous, crowded, confusing mess.

The most egregious example is if you go to “Sell” then at first it’s a Red button (why?) and then at the next step the colors flip-flop to where Red is now “Cancel” and “Sell” becomes Green (double-why??). It couldn’t be more dissonant and counter to good design if you tried (I guess Apple’s letting anything through these days)

If I could downgrade I would/will, but I won’t use this…sigh!

### 5/5 — Juste au top!!!

*2025-12-02*

Je recommande à 300 %

### 5/5 — great

*2025-11-17, version 2.2.2*

it reminds me of dope wars that I use to play in the 90s.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-08-22, version 2.2.2*

So fun

### 5/5 — Best simulation out

*2025-05-25, version 2.2.2*

The customization ability is second to none. Would give more stars if I could!

### 5/5 — Dr. Swaga

*2025-03-22, version 2.2.2*

Excellent

### 5/5 — This is a classic

*2024-10-20, version 2.2.2*

Love this game

### 5/5 — Old school gamer

*2023-09-14, version 2.1.3*

I have been playing versions of this game for years, before Smart Phones we’re offering the experience, so I may just be too used to looking at the Linux version, but I find the navigation to be a bit difficult, on an iphone.  It is still a fantastic strategy game, though, and highly addictive, providing great entertainment. A web based port of the PC classic would be amazing. Lots of fun, regardless.

### 5/5 — Pretty cool game

*2022-07-06, version 1.3.3*

I put the hoods in Houston on here

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-04-07, version 1.3.3*

Very interesting game

### 5/5 — Great game and  please make original!

*2021-09-21, version 1.3.3*

Can someone please make game like this like the origional dope_wars game!! Just change the names of weed to different drugs and charge a few dollars to own it. You will make a fortune on simple basic old school version with a few tweaks like playing for 7-30-60-120-365 days. Great game though
