That is beyond unacceptable. Get with it, folks. We all understand monetization but this is infuriating. ### 3/5 — Ok game *2026-09-02, version 1.36.2* It a ok game the adds a to long the add on games you can never get any were with them as the time you have to do them are to short ### 2/5 — Finished Game? *2026-09-02, version 1.36.2* I got to level 5, collected the evidence against the guy, then money would not build to allow me to pass the next phase. I saved data in Game Center uninstalled and reinstalled and lost progress after spending money. Not great. Doubtful if the game goes longer than this. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-09-02, version 1.36.2* Too many ### 3/5 — Ads are too long *2026-08-21, version 1.35.2* The game is ok and will help to pass some time. For those who prefer free to play, there are a lot of options to unlock extra rewards by watching ads. However, every ad is over a minute long which wastes so much time. The ads are very repetitive but if you don’t mind the grind, it’s an easy game to download and plod your way through. Developers and advertisers, shorten your ads to 30 seconds! Nobody needs longer than that to decide if they are going to download what you’re advertising! Or, let us skip them after 10 seconds 😁 ### 4/5 — Fun but needs more locations *2026-08-21, version 1.35.2* The game is fun and I enjoy it, but I’ve completed it twice now and you go back to the beginning. ### 2/5 — 광고에 속음 *2026-08-16* 주유소 키우기 말고 길만드는거 언제나와ㅡㅡ ### 4/5 — Stop Stealing My Gems *2026-08-11, version 1.35.2* This is a Review and Feedback: I love the game! However, it’s frustrating that once the VW Beetle is full, you keep over filling it with my gems! Please stop. If I don’t have the money to pay for the Beetle or I don’t want to pay for the Beetle, stealing my gems isn’t going to make me want to. We’re supposed to be the good guys. Further, I need a break down of these manager cards because it doesn’t make sense how I’m completing the requirements card and I still have to collect my money manually. Customer service, please help. That’s all!! Thanks for the entertainment! ### 2/5 — Too slow *2026-07-29, version 1.34.2* The ad is more fun to play than the app ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-07-23, version 1.34.2* I think the game is Fun but once you complete California you start over again in Nevada with the same storyline with Victor. Why are there not more states? Hopefully an update will come and have more places to go. ### 3/5 — Teaser mini game *2026-07-23, version 1.34.2* Do you get to play the mini game in the add ? All i have been doing is washing and filling cars wtf ### 1/5 — Hire people *2026-07-20, version 1.34.2* Game won’t let me hire folks it’s just keeps popping the upgrade screen up when I click on the hire plus sign. I like the game but it won’t let you progress without this. ### 2/5 — Shorten ads *2026-07-17, version 1.34.2* Game is ok ads are way too long for basic rewards ### 4/5 — Game closes on me *2026-07-17, version 1.34.2* It’s a great game but I’ve had the game closing itself on me when trying to go into the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not whats advertised *2026-08-30, version 1.36.1* This game is nothing like the Ad. Why advertise with something it's not? ### 1/5 — No good *2026-08-28, version 1.36.0* Nothing like the ad ### 1/5 — Not the game shown *2026-08-22, version 1.35.2* This review is not the game shown in the add. The game is totally different and the game is actually the same over and over with different skin . Once you beat the first level you’ve beat the game. Boring and toooooo many damn adds ### 1/5 — Base solely on ads *2026-08-22, version 1.35.2* To move up levels you need to spend ages watching ads, the game is designed around watching ads . Most ads are 2 mins long, got to level six and am sick of the ads. Time to delete. ### 1/5 — Popup HELL *2026-08-18, version 1.35.2* Ridiculous amount of popup ads, good game otherwise but be prepared to be hammered with 10+ popups every time you load the game. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2026-08-16, version 1.35.2* Just to play the game you have to watch ads. Though out the game it’s constantly the same. The game gets boring with the rinse and repeat game model. ### 1/5 — Subpar *2026-08-14, version 1.35.2* The game should let you be more free range about the pace and should let you Seymour development in the properties ### 1/5 — Bourbons too expensive *2026-08-12, version 1.35.2* Managers should be free of cost or bourbons should be easy to earn ### 1/5 — Not like the ad *2026-08-09, version 1.35.2* So not one thing they show in the ad is even done in the game. The only point of the game seems to be to watch ads for other games and upgrade the buildings. Complete waste of time ### 1/5 — No support *2026-07-20, version 1.34.2* The app does not open I’ve emailed many times and no reply ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun Game!! *2026-09-02, version 1.36.2* I was a little skeptical at first but it is actually a pretty fun game. It’s not competitive and you can take your time. I like these kinds of games and the ads are non existent unless you want to earn more money. Totally worth the download!! ### 5/5 — cute *2026-08-22, version 1.35.2* awe the shop reminds me of a florida gas station next to a plaza i fell in love with! sadly i had to stay up north. thank you 🍾🍾🤟💚💚💚 ### 5/5 — Roadside Empire Manager game *2026-08-09, version 1.35.2* Me encantan este juego me entretiene mucho ### 5/5 — ㅎ *2026-08-01* ㅋㅋ **Developer response:** 의견 남겨주셔서 감사합니다! 앞으로도 더 즐거운 게임 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 😊 ### 5/5 — Him *2026-07-28, version 1.34.2* B mm ### 5/5 — 음 *2026-07-25* 광고ㅠ ### 5/5 — Чисто мое мнение 😅 *2026-07-12, version 1.34.2* Игра классная,пофигу что реклам много)но есть одно но,некоторые рекламы не возможно закрыть,поэтому приходится закрывать игру полностью и заходить заново,вот это как раз таки и раздражает до предела🫠 ### 5/5 — R *2026-07-11, version 1.34.2* Love ### 5/5 — Great game! But mine crashes often *2026-07-06, version 1.33* I love playing this game but on my iPad it crashes a lot. Still giving 5 stars. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2026-07-02, version 1.33* The best, most thought out mobile game I have ever played, 5 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
