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 ### 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 ### 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? ### 4/5 — Fun game one problem *2022-06-18, version 1.7.5* I really enjoy this game but I have finished all the maps that are available more maps would be great ### 4/5 — Enjoyable but 1 problem *2022-05-16, version 1.7.3* I enjoy everything in this game. I just have 1 major problem and a minor one as well. My major issue right now is the game is bugged where my builders are working and I cannot speed them up or locate them so I have no builders to use. I can’t find them it won’t show me where they are so I can’t upgrade anything unless I watch an ad for the video builder. My minor problem I have is having to upgrade buildings but not a big deal. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE BUILDERS I love the game is very good I enjoy it a lot but I can’t move forward. ### 3/5 — Could be good *2022-05-14, version 1.7.3* I love these type of games but I hate the ads. Usually I’ll pay to not have ads but they only offer this option in a weekly or monthly bundle and I’m not paying every week/month to get rid of ads. ### 4/5 — new college *2022-04-26, version 1.7.0* I loved playing the game but i have recently finished all three of the developed colleges. i would give five starts if there were more colleges i could continue playing with. ### 3/5 — New school buildings take so long! *2022-04-18, version 1.6.8* I’ve been playing but I had to slow down because they take forever to build a new school! ### 4/5 — Good game but needs a few bug fixes *2022-04-16, version 1.6.8* Overall, a pretty good game I just have a bug where one of contraction workers says he’s working but I can’t find him? ### 4/5 — Good game and all but *2022-04-08, version 1.6.5* So i sorta think this game is racist don’t blame me it’s just I don’t like how the rich guy for the investing is always middle eastern I think it would be cool if each time you go to that screen or should be a different person ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Construction workers bugged out *2022-06-25, version 1.7.5* Will update once fix comes out but I have 3 construction workers unlocked but only one is available to work. Others are bugged out and can’t be used, checked all schools and all jobs are currently complete. Please address ### 1/5 — Good game mechanics, too many ads. *2022-06-03, version 1.7.3* I want to give this game 5 stars. It’s fun and I enjoyed it so much that I even (foolishly) paid $9.99 to remove ads. Even at that steep price for an idle game, they still send you forced ads!! Not to mention, the 2x multiplier is a joke because still requires you to watch ads for only a 15 min multiplier. Have fun with this game all you want, but do NOT spend money to remove ads. It gives you hardly any benefits for the price they charge. ### 1/5 — Is this a bug? *2022-04-26, version 1.7.0* I just downloaded this game yesterday, and it worked perfectly fine. Today i went back on and it was glitching when i tried to buy the music classroom, so i closed out the app. When i went back on it completely reset my progress. ### 1/5 — Good game but.. *2022-04-21, version 1.7.0* The game is good but I’m having issues with logging back in it. I was able to play the game one good time and build all of my stuff to turn around now I can’t get back in. I contacted the developer via email three days ago and haven’t hear anything back. I just did the update for the game and nothing yet. I even spent money on this game. Game need to be fixed ### 1/5 — Beware of purchasing the Ad Free version *2022-04-15, version 1.6.8* This game is fun, but it forces you to watch ads to really progress in the game. The ads are glitchy and you don’t earn your rewards. I thought we’ll this game intrigues me I’ll just pay the 10 dollars to unlock the ad free version. Well I did that and guess what? I still got to watch videos to earn my rewards. The Ad Free perk only applies for like 2 things, otherwise your forced into videos to earn your perks. Save your money!!! ### 1/5 — Wonky game 🤬 *2022-04-02, version 1.6.5* My construction workers are all permanently busy and they are not building. Even the day worker who wasn’t busy - watched an ad to start him, but before I could assign him to anything, he’s already “busy”. There’s no option to contact support so I guess this rating will have to do. ### 1/5 — No iCloud sync *2022-02-12, version 1.6.0* Lost all of my progress after getting a new phone because of my old phone breaking and then found out there wasn’t any way to get it back. I had just gotten the 2nd school and had finished some of the rooms in the first school, now all my progress is gone. ### 2/5 — Idle school *2021-11-05, version 1.1.7* Love the game but it has black outs within the game when you click on item within game and I try to restart and the same thing keeps happening ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Update Idea *2022-06-20, version 1.7.5* I LOVE THIS GAME! i think it is an amazing idle game. one thing i suggest maybe putting in a future update is a complaints tab. Students often voice what they want fixed in the school but if you miss it you never see it. i think somewhere there should be a tab where you can see different complaints for what students want. amazing game though i love it! ### 5/5 — Love the game *2022-05-04, version 1.7.2* I really love this game I finished all the schools just wanted to know when are you guys going to update to add more schools ### 5/5 — Super fun *2022-04-18, version 1.6.8* Game is really fun, finished it in like two weeks, can’t wait for the new update!! ### 5/5 — Addicting with tiny bug. *2022-04-15, version 1.6.8* Alright, so for some reason, there is this bug where the cars driving into the parking service are somehow randomly spawn in and are in the driving state. I don’t understand if it is a glitch that caused them to spawn at the wrong spot, or some other weird thing only a programmer understands because I am not the smartest person out there. I forgot to mention that it still uses a parking space while in the state mention before, but I would like this to be fixed. ### 5/5 — Good so far! BUT some mistakes *2022-04-14, version 1.6.8* It says the word “prisoners” instead of students when buying the infirmary lol ### 5/5 — Love the game *2022-04-12, version 1.6.5* This game is really fun and addicting but there are a lot of adds, which are optional but in order to advance faster they're necessary and worth it. My only question and concern right now is where I equip cards such as safety hotline or cards that increase subsidy or offline earning time. I’m almost done with the 2nd school so maybe I just haven’t bought where they go yet but i cant seem to find it? ### 5/5 — Not many ads *2022-04-10, version 1.6.5* I love idle games, especially this one, and my favorite part is that there are barely any ads, and even when there is one you always get rewarded for it, even pop-ups. Besides that it’s a great game and it’s one of the few games I haven’t deleted after playing it for a while. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
