I love it though the way you made it was great 😊 I would recommend you get this!!! There are mini levels where you have 2 choices to get new business but then there a big level like every day I think I have been playing for 2 months and I am still in love with this!!!! But that is all I really have to say! 🦧peace monkeys🦧 ### 2/5 — Used to Love it, Now?? *2022-04-24, version 1.41* For those that haven’t yet downloaded this game, you likely won’t understand... great game until this: Ads won’t load during an event. So irritating!! I already pay enough by spending my time watching the ads, so absolutely will not pay the exorbitant amount of money expected to be paid for “ad free, extra perks.” That’s what the work everyone puts in on the events is supposed to give...effort should be rewarded right? Not anymore. I can’t play for 5 minutes before I have to close the game out and wipe it from my cache in order to reboot it. Pete and repeat. UGH!! Not to mention it seems the rewards have dropped in order to make the VIP tier look way more attractive. Didn’t mind the ads at all, except for the 6 step ones, but I’m ready to give up. ### 3/5 — Ads won’t load *2022-01-12, version 1.40* This is a good idle game, but recently, the ads won’t load. Clicking on the shark to watch an ad is important to complete the events, but for the last week or so, when trying to watch a video, it says video not ready, so that reward is lost. Also, sometimes, when the video does load, the reward isn’t given and you have to watch it again. Up until this happened, there were no complaints on the game. If it’s fixed, I’ll adjust the rating. Thanks ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2022-01-11, version 1.40* I have been pretty much obsessed with this game for longer than I’d like to admit. It just stopped working. Whenever I open it, it just automatically closes. I hope this is just a glitch but I don’t want to lose all of my work to uninstall and reinstall in hopes that works. ### 4/5 — New Update *2021-11-10, version 1.37* I’ve been playing this game for over a year now, I love it. But this new part they added in the update where you’re forced to play an episode of Shark Tank when you open the game is horrible, it’s so annoying. First off the game you play in the episode makes zero sense, if you lose you still win and there’s just no strategy to it or anything, it’s just this annoying thing I’m forced to do before I can get to the actual game. I’ve actually considered deleting the game because it annoys me so much, and I love this game. It’s such a stupid addition, and if that’s the direction they’re taking the game I’m not interested. Either give us the option to turn off the episodes permanently or get rid of them. ### 2/5 — Not much to it *2021-11-09, version 1.37* As a person who loves investments and the idea of multiplying my money I thought this game would be cool. Idk there’s not much strategy to it it’s just click till your tired and I could probably get passed that if the achievement crate things didn’t happen so often. It just slows it down for what seems to be a fast paste game. Overall it’s just dumb and shouldn’t be considered a shark tank game ### 2/5 — Shark Tank Tycoon *2021-11-06, version 1.37* Overall, a reasonably enjoyable concept. The reason for the low rating is the linking of ad removal to a monthly sub. I don’t like this practice, especially with the high asking price. Additionally, if you do choose to pay to remove ads, it doesn’t remove them from some of the new features added to the game. Very bad faith on behalf of the developer to introduce ads even when one chooses to “remove ads” via the monthly sub. ### 4/5 — Difficult in advanced levels *2021-10-29, version 1.37* This has been my go to game for relaxation; I’m on level 98 now but I’m having a hard time unlocking the final Asian and European businesses. Each require either 10T or 100T resources and those take FOREVER to build up. I’ve even promoted people who add resources and I’m still struggling. I’ve been on this level for 3 weeks now. Is there anyway the resource requirements can be reduced? ### 4/5 — Great game till the latest update *2021-08-31, version 1.31* Renaming employees to “wealth” when there is already money is stupid. Also the visuals are a huge downgrade and hard to view on a phone. I have been playing this game every day for a couple months but I don’t like the recent changes ### 3/5 — Would be 5 BUT *2021-08-28, version 1.31* Half the time when I watch an ad for a reward I don’t get the reward. The first handful of times I thought I must have missed something but no. I JUST watched an ad to get 4 hours of 2x and nothing. Finnish the ad and still at 0 hours. The longer this goes on the lower the rating will go until I just get so annoyed I uninstall. So fix this or lose a player. ### 2/5 — New update *2021-08-28, version 1.31* Not feeling the new update at all. The screen is too crowded, shark coins are too small, and the pop ups when upgrading are annoying. The event pass is a good idea but you should be able to use shark coins or gold to unlock the pass. Another idea would be to add in more chances of getting higher amounts of gold. I’ve been playing for a few months and I’m starting to get bored because I can never fully complete events without spending real money. ### 2/5 — Not a fan of the new update. *2021-08-24, version 1.31* The fonts are smaller and it’s harder to read the amounts. The building animations are obnoxious. It’s hard to click on the shark coins that buildings produce because they are so small. The IAP for better event rewards is very in your face, taking up half the screen. It’s an extra click just to see the info on your business. The auto-open for ranking up is okay, but I wish there was a small banner pop up in the game to let me know the business opened automatically when I had the currency. For events, it’s not very bright/noticeable when you need to click on the business owner. The glow for an upgrade is mild. ### 4/5 — Iffy on new update *2021-08-23, version 1.31* I’ve played this game when it first came out and really loved it. However, I’m not the biggest fan of the new update. I liked how the level was below the business and it’s income was listed above the business. Now, they are both represented with bars, which is a little confusing. It’s hard to determine what bar represents the level and which represents the income. I hope that this could be fixed and we could go back to the income being listed above the business. Otherwise, great game! ### 3/5 — Great game but events r broken *2021-02-27, version 1.20* I have been able to play the events because it just says downloading when I click on them and it’ll sit at 100% and never change. I’ve played the events before but the last few it hasn’t been accessible. Please fix this ### 4/5 — Was fun *2021-02-26, version 1.20* This game was fun until the events stopped working after already starting them and having access to them. This is annoying since events are only available for a few days. I’ve tried re-downloading the app, restarting my phone, and still no luck. Just over it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst update ever released *2021-09-29, version 1.34* Been playing this game forever. You changed the text and layout which is incredibly unpleasing to the eye. I don’t even want to play this game anymore. And while it is a dumb game where you don’t do much and watch ads. Maybe don’t fix something that isn’t broken? I’m happy you guys decided to change the model and pay to get rid of ads but please change the layout or give us an option to go back to the old format. ### 1/5 — New update *2021-09-01, version 1.31* This new update is terrible. I’ve been playing for a year and half now and I’m just about done if things don’t get changed soon. Everything feels too cramped in with the smaller fonts, smaller shark coins but for some reason bigger faces. I go to click for my coins and I accidentally increase the business due to them being so close. Not a fan and wouldnt recommend this game unless they fix it soon ### 1/5 — Reverse the update! From a level 44 *2021-08-26, version 1.31* I loved the game until the update. Now there are a ridiculous amount of pop ups every time you upgrade a business that cover important info, especially if it’s not auto yet. All of the stats for each business is tiny and jumbled making it hard to read, business income needs to be on the top. Shark coins are tiny and hard to collect now. Every time I try to play I just end up frustrated. The visuals are ugly and chaotic. There isn’t 1 positive change in this update! If it doesn’t get reverted back I’ll just delete it because it’s no longer fun. ### 1/5 — Ad Update *2021-04-24, version 1.25* Started having issues about a week ago, ads taking forever (sometimes up to 2 minutes to load) and then once it’s over, it doesn’t seem to register so you have to watch another ad to redeem your reward. Now starting today, ads are blown out of proportion and you can’t close them out, have to force close the app to get out of it. Game has become absolutely unplayable. ### 1/5 — Patch is broken *2021-02-26, version 1.20* Special event is on now to win extra items in the game. So I start the event and the first time it goes fine. Second time I enter no pictures are showing up, thinking it’s a slow connection I exit the game and restart. Now it won’t let me in the event, says it needs to Download additional content however my 100Mbs internet is to slow to download a patch for a mobile game? Are you kidding me? I can download literally anything else, stream TV and download large files in seconds but a mobile game is too much? This is clearly their server having some error if my internet can do everything else fine. Get it together ### 1/5 — Same App As Always *2021-02-19, version 1.20* This is a very serviceable pastime that you can have and it doesn’t have any bad glitches or anything in the app. The worst part of it is the fact that the premium currency is “gold” which a lot of free apps have. The difference between this app and others is that the premium currency is usually obtainable slowly throughout the game without having to spend money. I have 80 gold right now, which can buy me 1 hour skip of revenue. I’m rank 32 (which takes a very long time to get to) and that’s all I can get for free. They have offers for gold all of the time and the lowest price I’ve seen is 750 gold. Since I’ve been playing this game for 3 months it would take me over 2 years to afford their cheapest bundle without paying money. Absolutely ridiculous way of baiting people to spend money and don’t fall for it. ### 1/5 — No thank you. *2021-02-15, version 1.20* The reason I gave a one star review and deleted your glitchy game is because it is annoyingly glitchy and got boring after a few minutes in... I THOUGHT I was going to enjoy this game, but I seriously wished I had gotten it after I had found out what a mess this game was! I mean honestly, I wish I hadn’t hated it as much as I did in the end, but after invested in my last business, it suddenly disappeared off to where I couldn’t find it on the map, and with you guys having such a stupidly strictly small map to work with.... and absolutely since you’re not allowed to span around the map to find things... that makes even more things difficult. ### 1/5 — Love this game but I have issues. *2021-02-03, version 1.19* This game is fun and I have spent a lot of time and money on it. One thing that really just drives me up a wall is the fact that they send SO MANY notifications. I work in a job where I have to put my phone down often and interact with customers. If you let your phone go into sleep mode this game proceeds to send you around 5-8 notifications. With my Apple Watch, this is very much a nuisance. It will buzz all those times. They need to make a fix for these notifications. I know I could turn them off but I do like to know when my bonus is ready. Also it used to tell you if you were making a bad purchase in the game but they took that away. A great game but needs major improvements. ### 1/5 — Enjoyable for a bit *2021-01-21, version 1.17* I’ve been playing for a couple months now and can honestly say it’s not worth it. The game comes down to adding employees, you can’t buy them, and there is no way to earn them besides time. I’m on level 61 now, everyone upgraded, and I’ve been thinking this since level 40. Wish I could show a screen shot with this review. Be prepared for the video not ready message, but only when you’re offered more employees. Don’t waste your time. ### 2/5 — It’s not bad as much *2022-09-14, version 1.41* The game is good in all but there’s too many things people talking that makes tycoon fun is people along on the way like people learn how the game works on the way instead of getting tell instantly People get bored fast and then they others that it’s boring and then go goes down people might like it after but it takes a long time it might be fun for a while but then Cut scenes come more and more and then people get bored in the beginning and then they stop playing your game if you are hearing this please cause fix this or people might not play your game please make less cutscene ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s a better game than the other tv show ones *2022-09-23, version 1.41* I seriously got excited for this but I never expected a shark tank game that was this goood but it has some boring content in it but the game is really good compared to the other ones ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-08-12, version 1.41* I’ve only been playing this game for a couple minutes and I already know that it has huge potential and I love playing this just start the start it’s just so interesting and there’s like no mistakes in the game and just playing getting even like doing the ads it’s worth it to get to play the game I love this game so much and I am so glad it was made and can’t wait for the next update. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-07-04, version 1.41* Honestly I love this game, I’ve had it a long time now and I find myself still coming back to it. I do have one recommendation though! Implement some kind of “collect all” button for your shark coins. After making it to the next city, you start all over again by investing in your businesses, and you accumulate a TON of shark coins very fast. It’s just a little overwhelming trying to collect all the coins. Otherwise great game! ### 5/5 — NICE GAME *2022-02-15, version 1.40* If you enjoy games where you have a company this would be a great game for you this is my first time playing it I only played it for like 3 minutes and so far it is REALLY good so you should get it I haven’t even saw a add yet but the only bad thing about it is that the stores are expensive but you get a lot of money and them you are like a millionaire so it doesn't really matter sorry this is a short review ### 5/5 — I’m impressed *2021-05-25, version 1.27* I’m going to try to make this as short as possible so I can get back to the game, But I’ve had this game for a couple of days now and it is very addicting. My most favorite part about this game is where you can choose what businesses you want to invest in and make profit from, Now genially speaking I would love for there to be more interactions with the sharks and make it more of a tv show I understand it may take a while but I’ve also started watching the show. Very good game but if this were to happen it would be sick. Also if you could do deals like selling a business yourself and be a shark yourself would be cool like having to switch back and forwards. I don’t know I really do love this game just more content of my opinion would be great because these types of games can get boring very quickly but if you constantly have something going on that’s different than it wouldn’t be the same screen pressing the same buttons you know what I mean. I see a lot of things that can possibly happen to boost this games performance as in more players and moving up as a #1 tycoon game In the app and play store. - Best of luck developers ### 5/5 — 😍love it *2021-04-23, version 1.25* I love it because you make the money so quickly and it is very fun because you can buy everything!Also😛😛it is fun because it has nothing whatsoever related to the hotel tycoon games I’ve played! I’m glad Ive switched thanks!!!! ### 5/5 — In for bu$ine$$ *2021-03-02, version 1.20* 🆘 SUGGESTION 🆘 It’s me again! I’m currently at rank 45!!~! 😱😱😱😱 Since the game has survived on my phone for so long. Can we get a “collect all” feature for shark coins, they just accumulate really quickly at the beginning of every new stage and during offline time. It would be super convenient! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1st official review vvv I don’t think it’s like every other tycoon game. Have a peak at my game history, with the fancy new update I think that’s possible? 🧐 dunno, could be wrong. Anyway back to the point; I enjoy it, it’s a real time killer, I’m in Portland, how far have you guys made it hmm? 🤨 the fact that it’s still on my phone pass the 24hr expiration date of typical tycoon game is sayin something. Developers gg, I like it, I think it’s fun 🎉 ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-02-04, version 1.19* It’s a really fun games if your willing to put some time into it . One thing I think you should add is a option to buy x2 / x50/ x100/ and max!! So you don’t have to hold down the button , only because if you have a lot of money your holding down the button for a while ! ### 5/5 — Likely the best idle game around *2021-01-28, version 1.17* I absolutely love this game. You start off with one business and progress to new locations and entrepreneurs. I have play a ton of idle games and eventually they all become boring, but not this one. I have been playing for several months and it is still one that I go to every day. The best part - no money required. You can spend all the money you would like but you don’t have to. Briefcases come every 4 hours and you can wait for those if you want. Or if you want a quicker game spend a little money for the high valued briefcases. Additionally, you can watch ads to help speed up play but again they are not popping up every 2 minutes and forcing you to watch at least 5 seconds like other games do. These are all optional and help with money or entrepreneurs. Also, there are side games to help you main game. These come every week and last between a few days and a week. The graphics are beautiful with vivid colors and interesting characters. The fact that so much control of how the game is played is in the player’s hands is a refreshing change to other games. ### 5/5 — Quite a good game *2021-01-17, version 1.17* It is a simple yet satisfying game. There's a lot of incentive to the next level of each business and building up then trickling down the ladder if that makes sense. I also like the creativity in the game's business and the cities you're able to go to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
