### 4/5 — Kinda fun!

*2026-05-23, version 2.45*

It’s ok to play the game without spending ; but the coins inside r ready hard to get🤨

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-05-21, version 2.45*

Went a different direction with this game. I wasn’t sure at first but the more I progressed the more I liked it.

### 4/5 — nice

*2026-04-03, version 2.45*

good

### 2/5 — This game feels like it has an identity crisis and progression doesn’t really feel real

*2026-01-25, version 2.45*

The title of the game is Social Dev Story which makes you believe it’s a social media development simulator or a game where you develop phone apps in general but no it’s actually severely watered down Game Dev Story. There’s also no sense of time passing as there was no year system that I could see and progression didn’t feel like something that existed even when a new platform came out. Also Platforms didn’t feel like Platforms at all. They just company names not actual devices. All you do in this game is make something and watch numbers go up for a few seconds then it goes off the market 5”then the cycle repeats. Progress also feels very slow if there even is any here.

### 4/5 — easy to play

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Yep

*2024-07-08, version 2.42*

Time sink

### 1/5 — So-so

*2023-06-07, version 2.27*

Requires an internet connection to play and is heavy on ads and micro transactions. Far fall from earlier pay for games by the company. If you throw more then $6 USD, you should consider buying the full non predatory versions of their games.

### 1/5 — Failed to load

After months of playing my game has failed to load and that’s it.   No other options.  Guess I’m done playing it.

Help developers

### 1/5 — You can do better

*2019-06-12, version 2.22*

### 5/5 — 재밌어요!

*2026-07-18, version 2.45*

원래 카이로소프트 게임 좋아해요. 그리고 최근엔 소셜게임에 빠져있어요. 여러가지 장르를 조합해서 상성이 좋은 게임 조합을 찾아내는 재미도 있고 과금없이도 할 수 있는 점이 좋아요. 하지만 약간의 아쉬움으로 과금을 유도하는 점도 아주 똑똑하다고 생각합니다. 매일 코인 사고 싶은 욕구에 시달려요😂

### 5/5 — ABCXYZ

*2026-05-03, version 2.45*

This game is interesting.

### 5/5 — Addicted to this game

*2026-03-30, version 2.45*

I love Kairosoft games and have been a fan for years. I appreciate that this game is offered for free and although it takes a bit to understand the dynamics fully, it is really fun and addictive. I have played and replayed it over the years. Definitely worth trying especially cause it’s free of charge so what have you got to lose?

### 5/5 — 好玩好玩

*2026-03-21, version 2.45*

其實還蠻好玩的 只是對我來說想要製作好一點的遊戲真的比較難😂 對於常常無聊不知道要幹嘛的人 我覺得這個系列的遊戲都可以玩

### 5/5 — 莫名上癮

*2026-03-02, version 2.45*

其實蠻難的，而且開會的結果有點非，抽不到想要的，搭配沒辦法升級...但...就是很想一直玩下去哈哈哈玩到其他遊戲都擺著沒動

### 5/5 — 즐겁게 하고 있어요

*2026-02-26, version 2.45*

재미있게 하고 있어요. 친구창 채워서 더 즐기고 싶네요 ㅎ
