Crashes after you have 35+ dwellers

App always crashes after a lot of progress is made. The loading screen goes black and I can’t even enter the app.

Wasted so much time.

After doing all the bs building my shelter I come to find that combat is completely useless and lost my best guys. they put probably 10 minutes into designing the combat. do not waste your time.

Why is there no online battles?

The game is good now, but he gets boring off-line. Why does Asia have online mode but America don’t

New Missions

I like this game. I would be proud if you add more missions because I’ve passed them)

Good mechanics, Immoral universe

I grew up playing fallout 3 & new Vegas & 4 and even this fallout shelter game from the time I was in elementary or middle school until high school and even as an adult. I have downloaded this game, started a vault, and deleted the vault and deleted this game about fifty times or so (I don’t have an exact count). This entertainment series is sinful from a correct Abrahamic religious perspective, the makers need to read the Hebrew Tanach & Greek Biblia & Arabic Quran, however I will say that the mechanics of the series are cool. A clean game of this type would be good, something that doesn’t bother the conscience of an Abrahamist (ultra orthodox - Jew/Christian/Muslim) type of person. Biggest problems morally are that there’s no marriages and no genealogies, and the suffering including mutations of creatures (this is especially bothersome for me because I’ve used entertainment that causes serious conscience harm concerning unnatural things). However it’s a game I’ve spent money on. Currently continuing to play the game anyways.
