### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-04-29*

Great game but keeps crashing

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2021-12-22, version 1.4.1*

Pretty fun and addicting game would recommend

### 4/5 — UI needs updating

*2020-11-22, version 1.4.1*

Great game and super fun but the UI needs updated for the latest iPhones because the screen gets cropped out

### 2/5 — Impossible To Win!

*2020-07-08*

The game seems impossible to win.  Things are skewed so extreme in favor of the computer.  These reviews can’t be real, no matter what I tried, I always ended up losing.  Maybe if they used a better algorithm?  I really wanted to like this game, and it could be a wonderful game with a more balanced AI.

### 4/5 — Highly Recommended

*2020-05-27, version 1.4.1*

Very fun and more variety than game dev tycoon for development but not many genres like superhero or movies and you can make handhelds and phones but there should be a sandbox mode and please add a few more genres and topics

### 4/5 — Super jeu mais l’écran n’est pas adapté avec iPhone 11

*2020-02-13*

Super jeux par contre sa serais cool de l’adapter iPhone 11 svp

### 3/5 — разрешение экрана

*2020-02-03*

сделайте адаптацию под айфоны от Х поколения 
половины слов не видно по краям

### 1/5 — Зря купил

*2020-01-30*

Решил сразу купить не играя в бесплатную версию, пожалел, поверил в отзывы. Хочу сказать после 10 минут игры, что gamedev tycoon будет поинтереснее. Обучение слишком короткое и тупое, много не понятно что от куда берется и куда вставляется, создаю три игры подряд с рейтингами 6-8, смотрю в отчетах, а они у меня все равно убыточные. Попробую еще разобраться, но денег уже жалко.

### 2/5 — Fun, for a bit

*2019-12-28*

Not worth the price, imo. The game has crashed on me numerous times, wiping out progress made. It becomes a bit shallow and repetitive once you turn a positive cash flow.

### 3/5 — I ran out of money sooooo fast

*2019-12-13*

I ran out of money because I don’t have enough people and money please give some money or tips it’s really hard to get another area so please give me some mooooooney.

### 2/5 — Hasn't been kept up to date

*2019-12-12, version 1.4.1*

Sadly the game hasn't been optimised for the iPhone X and above, the notch now overlaps parts of the interface.

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2019-11-06*

Doesn’t fit my screen correctly. Crashes all the time. An ugly looking copy of Game Dev Tycoon. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-08-24, version 1.4.1*

The game isn’t even optimized to fit an iPhone, yet you’re trying to ‘sell’ it instead of making it a free app? Worst 3 dollars or so I’ve ever spent in my life. It’s to bad I can’t rate 0 stars.

### 3/5 — WONT SAVE/KEEPS CRASHING

*2019-08-17*

I really like this game!! BUT it just keeps crashing and it wont save my progress. I have had to retrain at least 3 times now! Please fix!

### 3/5 — I love the game.

*2019-06-14*

It is fantastic game, with a lot of detail, great graphics (especially for a mobile game) and a lot of creative freedom for the player.  I only have two issues.  1:  When you first start, the UI is confusing, even with the tutorial...   2: Every time I leave the game, and join back, All my sequels disappear.  I have to click the sequel button hundreds of times to get all them back to re-appear.  Of those were fixed, or even just the sequel bug, I would bring up the stars to 4.

### 1/5 — Kein Update

*2021-10-04*

Sind die Entwickler gestorben oder warum gibt es seit Jahren kein Update mehr, kann das Spiel nich auf dem I-Phone 11 spielen…

### 1/5 — Hard

*2021-09-12, version 1.4.1*

One every mode it is hard to hard.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Triste

*2021-02-01*

Ce jeu n’a aucune logique et plante bien trop souvent.
Pour une simulation de jeu vidéo c’est un comble

### 1/5 — Disgusted

*2020-12-12, version 1.4.1*

This game is terrible. Don’t by it. If I had to buy any other game except this one I would, this is not good I really don’t like it. I would never go higher than 1 star.

### 1/5 — Crashes continuously

*2020-09-20*

Game crashes on the “game rating” screen when you go to release a game. Completely unplayable.

### 1/5 — I want my money back !!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2020-07-02, version 1.4.1*

The game doesn’t even fit the iPhone 11 screen. It was very buggy and would crash sometimes.

### 1/5 — Does not fit iPhone notch

*2020-06-30, version 1.4.1*

The game seems to be too big for my iPhone xs generally, resulting in buttons I can't fully see. The game does not account for the notch either

### 1/5 — Разрешение экрана

*2020-06-15*

Сделайте нормальное разрешение под iPhone X.

### 1/5 — Confused

*2020-04-12, version 1.4.1*

Not optimized for iPhone 11 I guess? Can’t hardly play the game because of cutoff from full screen

### 1/5 — do NOT buy this game.

*2020-02-05, version 1.4.1*

this game is horribly optimized with horrible graphics even for a 2020 updated mobile game, let alone, a $5 2020 updated mobile game. has horrible UI, gameplay, and replay ability. do NOT waste $5 on this game, you're better off buying a footlong at subway..

### 5/5 — The best game ever!!

*2022-12-11*

LOVE it sm!!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-03-04*

This game is addicting if you enjoy Tycoon games. I love it, always play it in my down time.i really Hope there are more updates to come and/or expansion updates. Because as good as it is there can always be more. Unfortunately lately i realized that after i get far in the game it crashes and doesn’t leave off where i was in progress even with auto saves. So there is that, gotta save like every 2 minutes... But other then that needing an update, the game is amazing would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Ratings Problem

*2021-01-05*

This game is awesome. I can’t wait to see fourth game! But the ratings inside the game are super weird. Please fix them so I can get million easy

### 5/5 — GET THIS GAME

*2020-04-14*

I have had this game for about 3 years now and still it’s the most fun fun to play! Every day I still find something new to do in the game. 

GET THIS GAME 10/10!!!!

### 5/5 — It’s super fun

*2019-07-10*

It’s real fun mostly at the start and middle. I have reached the end with billions and past the 50 years mark. Would recommend!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-05-12, version 1.4.1*

😘

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-11-25*

It is in balance of hard and normal. It is harder than the first two. The reason why it is harder is because it is more realistic which I LOVE! That must have been the reason why they put an easy mode.... I don’t often encounter bugs so idk why people hating on that. This game is complex and fun. Worth the money if you love hard tycoons.

### 5/5 — I’m rich I’m rich your poor your poor

*2018-08-06*

I’m so rich in this game that I have 11 trillion dollars in this game.

### 5/5 — 12/10

*2018-05-27*

Одна из лучших игр на телефон только надо доделать кое-что, разработчик сам знает что и будет всё отлично. А так за 55лет у меня получилось подняться до 4 миллиардов$.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2018-05-17, version 1.4.1*

Can u make a forth one
