### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!!❤️😍 according to my little sis!

*2023-10-24*

I downloaded this game because I let my little 7 year old sister play on my phone and she begged me to download this game i thought it was weird because she hates school A LOT but I’m glad I downloaded this game because not only does she play it I play it too and we love it a lot there not that many adds but when there is me and my sister always get a reward when we watch it so big thanks to the creator because we love this game and if your reading this downloaded it!! BYEE!! Have a blessed day

### 1/5 — Missing characters

*2023-02-14, version 1.7.5*

My construction workers have all disappeared except the first one. I have unlocked every one except for the one you buy for $5. It says they’re all “working”, they are not. This makes upgrading very difficult and if this is not fixed, I will be deleting the app. Too frustrating.

### 5/5 — It’s ok  but the bugs

*2023-01-20, version 1.7.5*

I. Am addicted but there are tiny bugs where my builders ain’t working but it says they are and also.  When I’m just looking around the college I see random cars just like spinning  around idk what that is about but fix that pls. But anyway I love it  and also I like that you put in ads that give you gems

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2022-11-23, version 1.7.5*

I think that this game is really fun, but there is a glitch that is bothering me. What happened is that I sent one of guards to solve a problem, and then about ten minutes later he is still there, solving the problem. And since I have no more guards (I have another one now) I can not solve any more of the problems and it is causing me to lose money. Other than that I enjoy this game and think it is fun

### 5/5 — Need more schools

*2022-10-11, version 1.7.5*

When is there gonna be an update adding new schools. I already beat the game months ago

### 4/5 — Great game. A couple of bugs tho…

*2022-10-08, version 1.7.5*

Great game . I love these kinds of games. And the advertisements are definitely worth the rewards. 

Issue: 
There’s a bug with the construction workers. I’m only able to use one. My other two are showing as “working” but I don’t have any other construction projects open at any of the campus’. 

Suggestion: 
- When you click on the worker, it should take you directly to where they are working at. Or maybe add an option on the screen to pay to complete the work . That would make it much easier to manager them. Thank you

### 3/5 — Fix bugs and Update please!!!!

*2022-09-06, version 1.7.5*

We need an update the construction workers all say working and I’m not on any building projects at the moment.

### 4/5 — Builders say they are working when they are not

*2022-08-28, version 1.7.5*

I see others have had this issue but please fix the glitch of workers being unusable. Otherwise I love this game.

### 4/5 — Nice game , needs more

*2022-07-25, version 1.7.5*

Game is really fun and addictive! But something is missing. The game needs to add more schools , like a law school, science or medical schools. Needs more personalization options, like different looking students, their aren’t any black and brown students.

### 4/5 — When’s the next update

*2022-07-15, version 1.7.5*

Finished all the levels when will the next update happen?
