No type of warning in the app description ### 1/5 — Мда.. *2025-07-31* Игра отличная, но.. Чтобы продолжить играть на 4 году вроде, надо купить про версию, мы в каком году чтобы за игру приходилось платить??? ### 1/5 — Pay to Play *2025-07-31* Marketed as a “free to play” game. Then after about 20 minutes of play you have to pay $4 to continue. Spend your time elsewhere ### 2/5 — Fun until I had to pay *2025-07-29* This game was honestly Pretty fun. Until I seen the message where I told me to pay $3.99 in order to continue playing....disappointed ### 1/5 — awful *2025-07-26* Just awful the fact that u only are able to play 5years and do nothing in the career and them when will start to do something u have to pay to continue ? Just say that the gay isn’t free already ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-20* This game sucks ### 1/5 — don’t get *2025-07-19* the game only let me play so far before it’s forcing me to buy the games premium ### 1/5 — I wouldn’t pay for this *2025-07-19* Would be a decent game if they didn’t try nd make you pay for it, just make it paid then? ### 1/5 — What a scam! *2025-07-17* Why am I having to pay extra to pay the game as soon as it gets good you decide to try and force me to give you my money….. ### 1/5 — Meh *2025-07-17, version 1.0* Was enjoying it until the subscription ### 1/5 — cobran *2025-07-16, version 1.0* es un excelente juego, te engancha desde que le entiendes, pero es de paga y no te lo dicen desde el inicio ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2026-01-26* Ridiculous that they offer the game to you as free—only for them to force you to get pro to continue playing. ### 1/5 — Money *2026-01-17* Why do I have to pay money to continue the game ### 1/5 — makes you pay *2025-12-27* this app would be so much fun if it didn’t block you from playing after about 20 minutes. a waste of a download and not worth $5. ### 1/5 — I DON’T TO BUY Something JUST TO CONTINUE PLAYING! *2025-10-21* I don’t want ad free,I just want to play the game WITH ads! ### 1/5 — The review doesn’t match the experience just read- *2025-10-18* The game is amazing perfect for a busy day to decompress and play casually but the issue comes in where you have to pay to continue playing kinda like a cash grab it would’ve been a more satisfying feel if you took some features away after a certain limit of playing the game or just outright asked for a charge in the beginning with a one time purchase to install it the game is different and trust people would absolutely pay to play but not in the way it’s being done. ### 1/5 — Would be a 5 if u don’t have to pay *2025-10-11* No pay ### 1/5 — Really Bruh *2025-08-24* It’s a really cool simulator, love these kinds of games, could and would play for hours. But not when I have to pay for such a cool game. Big downer.😒 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-11, version 1.0* I regret paying $4 a useless “pro version “ that’s barely different ### 1/5 — make it free with ads *2025-08-11* I get that you wanna make the game ad free, but I’d rather play more and pay for an ad free game later. It doesnt make you wanna pay to play after just 5 yrs ### 1/5 — Makes you pay to continue *2025-08-05* I really would love the option to watch a few ads even 10 to continue for like 10 years or something? Always leave a free option ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PLEASE BOXING *2025-07-10* Hey, you do the best Simulation Games but please can u do a new boxing Game Simulation of a Career but more detailed than the one u created years ago, like where we can be able to choose the Date of the fight, if we wanna fight in 1 month or in 1 year you know? Please Ur Simulation are the best ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-05-23* This game is honestly the best!!! Wouldn’t mind buying some houses or cars tho cause now I have to much money lol ### 4/5 — Please read this *2026-06-15* Hello, I really love this game please please please please please please please make an update where you can develop television series with your studio it’d be so cool if you could do that and you could choose the amount of episodes per season how many seasons and whenever you release the new season you get feedback ### 4/5 — Tv series *2025-12-05* This game is fire and really good. I only ask that you add tv series to the game and expand the age for actors. some actors are 69 the first year and you never get a chance to put them in films. ### 4/5 — Não vale o preço *2025-07-29* É um bom jogo mas não vale apena pagar o valor dele por ele ser tão simples e incompleto ### 4/5 — Great game needs some improvements tho *2025-07-15* The game overall itself is good and fun but after you finish making your movie there isn’t anything else to do other than sim till the end of the year so I think it would be good to add some more things to do. And I keep getting number 1 on the awards but never win even tho my odds are way higher than the others. But other than these 2 things the game is good fun and i recommend it highly ### 4/5 — More things *2025-07-12* It’s a well made and fun game but I just wish you wouldn’t immediately start at 30 years old and you’d be able to do more than one movie per year because when ur finished filming a movie there’s multiple unnecessary weeks u just skip ### 3/5 — Definitely needs improvement *2025-08-25* I really enjoy tycoon games and this seemed like a great game. I paid for the full version because you need to after 2 in game years. However, these are my recommendations to improve the game to make it enjoyable: 1) My actor ranks #1 across all three nominations one time out of 15 years (previously it had ranged from rank 20 to rank 5), and I win 0 awards. My only award won was when I was rank 5 with a 1% chance. You could 5 star all of the mini games and sometimes your critic rating is still 87 and you’ll rank high for nominations. Yet, you get a 92 critic rating and rank #20 for all nominations. It just seems so inconsistent and impossible to constantly get a high ranking. Improving your overall should take longer but there should still be balance with the money you make and maybe adjust the attributes system. 2) I shouldn’t start out at age 30. And all of the 99 actors also shouldn’t be over the age of 60. You don’t see many dramas and action movies where all 7 core actors are 60+ years old (I’m sure there are a few) 3) I get a 5 star script, 3 99 overall lead actors, and 4 99 overall supporters with a $230m budget. But I make $30m compared to my $120m budget film which makes $2b. When you create the studio, there should be upgrades and not just this simple production. You can start making films 8 years in which doesn’t seem too reasonable for a tycoon that stretches over 40 in game years. 4) The minigames should be harder when you’re low overall and gradually get easier or even disabled. This is a great concept game and time was put in for it, but there are so many things that need to be changed to make it a paid for game. ### 3/5 — one addition *2025-08-08* could you make an update where we can retire from acting and just be a producer ### 3/5 — Potential *2025-08-04* Game has potential needs more features --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
