### 3/5 — Please update for new edition

*2024-03-15*

Would love if the app was updated for the newest edition of the game

### 1/5 — I wish.

*2023-08-05*

I wish someone would make a good acquire game. This is not it.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2020-02-20*

The app doesn’t have a clear button to start over, the only way that I can clear the board is to uninstall and reinstall the app

### 5/5 — NOTE: This is just an *aide* to the game!

*2019-05-24*

This is a great aide to the game!  It does not play like a game... it’s just an aide!!!  It does help as you play the real game!  It keeps track of each hotel such as its stock price, size, etc.  If there’s a merger, this will show you which hotel wins out and what the payouts are.  In case of a tie during a merger, it lets you choose the hotel that you want to be the winner of the buyout.  You can use this as an aide as you are playing the game to make sure things are kept in check and accurate.  It can keep track of each play and each merger as it happens and also shows which tiles are not playable as you are playing.  It’s a very accurate tool/calculator.  Again... it’s *not* nor meant to be the game!  It’s just a tool/calculator that you can use/refer to as you play the real board game!  This is a cool game so go and buy the real board game and then you can put/use this tool to use!

### 1/5 — Please fix!!

*2019-05-09*

Does not work. Wish it did, I love this game.

### 1/5 — Bad product

*2019-03-07*

Aquire is a good game but this app is horrible no point too it. Please finish developing this one!

### 1/5 — Reset? Remove tile? Locking up?

*2018-09-15*

If the App had a function to remove an incorrectly touched tile, OR you could rest or start a new game without locking up.....great app.

### 1/5 — Freezes a lot!

*2018-01-29*

This would be a very very helpful app but unfortunately it freezes very easily

### 2/5 — Potential - Fix freezing issue

*2018-01-07*

Works great until you use the menu to reverse a move, then freezes. Fix that and this will be great and 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Game menu freezes

*2017-12-26*

We like to use the game as the “game board” on an iPad. However, with iOS 11.1+ when opening the game menu to reset the board or undo the latest tile, it freezes and you can’t do anything but delete the app to get it to reset. Developer, if you’re still around, we’d love if you would fix that bug.
