### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-02-11, version 6.208*

This game is fun

### 1/5 — Does not Load

*2019-01-06, version 6.116*

The game does not load.  Tried deleting and reloading three times, still does not load.  Three strikes and your out, so game is deleted for good.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-12-13, version 6.104*

I really love all the different games within the game plus the social interaction ... 5++++

### 5/5 — Rule the sky

*2016-05-19, version 6.102*

Great app reminds me of We Rule!

### 3/5 — My friends and I aren't happy

*2015-09-19, version 5.73*

Wanted to let you know that I have been playing this game since June 2013.  Each time you upgrade or shut down for maintenance I have difficulty opening the game from home.    

Also I have friends who are quitting the game because the quests are in Korean and we don't read korean. It is frustrating not to be able to read the quests in English.  Please bring back the English!  Please ...

This is a new review for September 2015.  Wish you would bring back English.  Don't like the last two quests. I play this game on the average 2 x a day.  Can't complete e quests.  My friends who are retired and play 4 to 5 times a day reached the goal

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2015-07-05, version 5.61*

Getting worse every major update. The fact that most of it is in Korean and there are no English options makes me think they're not at all interested in their English speaking players.

### 4/5 — Enjoying the game, but....

*2015-05-19, version 5.42*

It is taking far too long to level up. Sometimes the English is confusing on the quests, but I so appreciate the English! For years, there was very little.

### 1/5 — Can't even get into game!

*2015-04-09, version 5.41*

Crashes to homescreen after I created an account and it advertises "new shamrock building." It says ios 6 or later, well I'm running ios 7.1.2 it should work! Worthless.

### 1/5 — Connection Problems

*2015-02-19, version 5.24*

There have been network connection problems for the last couple of months. Very often it will take a long time to load the game.

### 1/5 — Trying

*2015-02-01, version 5.24*

I'm trying to play it but it keeps network erroring. :(
