### 5/5 — Game is boring after a while

*2023-12-10*

This game gets boring after a while cause it’s like the same slots or whatever they are where the detectives find out the cases it’s like there the same slots all the time and that’s what kinda makes it boring after a while but I seen the pictures of the game and it will get more fun soon but also I just download this game yesterday evening and I’m already having problems with the game like people get real and I will tell you my issue.so my issue is that the ads in the game were working just fine before but now I can watch a ad and when in watch a ad it does not give me the money it’s telling me it’s going to give me and that also makes the game very frustrating because I’m really enjoying this game and I don’t want to have to delete it over something so foolish and I know nothing is going to be done about it cause I never get a response from the developer which is SUPER RUDE AND ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡. Anyways I hope y’all have a nice day😒😒😒😒

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-05-04*

You guys updating anytime?

### 1/5 — Problem with the game

*2023-03-03*

Why I can’t get in the game when I lunch it . I don’t understand , and it’s my iPad the problem im sure

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2023-02-12*

I purchased 3 items two days ago. I never received them. I notified support immediately and I still haven’t heard anything. I’ll be making sure I’m not charged for them. After two days, I’m no longer interested. I’ve never had to wait for an in-app purchase. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2023-01-28*

I paid for no ads and it did not work. I also did not receive the 1000 diamonds. I tried twice.
If this gets fixed it would be a fun game

### 1/5 — Not worth real money

*2022-12-30*

Do not spend real money, one everything is upgraded, there is nothing left to do.  It takes days for the clues to be processed unless you keep the game game open, seems like once you sit there have down, everything stops.  Save your money, in the end it gets you nowhere.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2022-12-24*

Pretty good, no idea what the spies are though and have two “achievements” sitting there. Didn’t see any information about where to find them or anything.

### 5/5 — Idle crime detective tycoon

*2022-12-11*

Good game to pass time no forced ads which is great   Keep up the good work
