Money

This is the best game I ever played it is so easy to play

Great

Pretty great in teaching finance to kids, teens, and even adults.

Amazing

I love this game so much, it has taught me a lot about budgeting, paying bills on time and not get into debt, very educational.

Every time I complete it I reset and do it all over again it's addictive, you should add more levels or even do another game like this.

Best game ever

Great potential...

I usually don't write reviews but this is worth my time. This is a very interesting game, as I am not that great with a budget and this has already helped me. However from 4-10 scenarios, it crashes no matter what I do. Please fix this as I would than give it 5 stars. I payed a lot for this app and I haven't received the full game. As I said please fix this or I want my money back.

Crashes!

This would be a really good educational resource if it didn't crash constantly! After paying 10 dollars, I was hoping for better quality so that my students could use it in the classroom. I hope this is fixed soon.
