Updated

Tried to start when the app had a bug where it couldn’t pass the name your company screen and I can honestly say after attempting twice once without the tutorial and once with the tutorial that this is one of the most realistic business sims on the App Store and I enjoy it.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the review!

Bad

I’ve been trying to start my own business using this app, but I can’t even get past the setup process. I move everything where it needs to go, but nothing works, and it won’t let me finish creating my business. I’ve tried multiple times and it’s very frustrating. I hope this issue gets fixed because I really want to use the app to start my business to have some fun

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! We are working on a fix for your issue! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Lag and freeze

Right when I downloaded I did 1 step and when I was gonna do the employees step when I pressed it. Like it froze and k had to close the game and when I went back to do the same it did the same thing. Really bad.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for the review, we are going to fix that issue as soon as possible!

可以推出中文版本吗

推出中文好吗

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your review! We can try to translate to Chinese, unfortunately it’s not a simple language to translate even with Translation tools😁

Terrible UI

I’ve honestly never seen a more unclear UI on any app or game. I spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to hire an employee. It says % salary to offer but the it seems that the slider seems to be % above offer but the no matter what I type or set when I click hire it says the offer was 0 and rejects. 0/5 app needs a vastly improved UI or tutorial

It’s okay

So I love the game but every like 20 clicks my game pauses but other than that very awesome game this game is very fun I love the game.👍😃🤩🤯

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you! Can you please explain us better what’s going on with the “20 clicks” thing? Maybe on our discord server (you can find it below once you open the game)

Response from developer

Hi! I am so sorry for the problem, hope the new update will fix that! You can join us on Discord if you didn't (or maybe yes) so you can help us fix it!

Not great

The game keeps cutting out can’t even start playing it

Response from developer

Hi! Thank your for the feedback! We released a new update, the 2.12.1. It fixed some crashes, can you try and tell us if it's fixed? Thank you!

Couldn’t play

Got to the part in the tutorial where you have to press the employee button and it wouldn’t work. None of the buttons would.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! Have you tried to update the game? Let us know!

Great Game

It’s hard to find games like this: not only well-made but so business oriented. Devs are friendly and very responsive as well.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review. Feedback like this is what motivates us to keep improving the game and to keep growing as a team. We truly appreciate your support. This year is going to be an important one for the game!

Error

After you purchase items you get a error and you can’t get rid of it, unless you close the app

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for the review! What kind of error do you get? Can you tell us in the game chat or on our Discord server? Thank you so much!

Awesome support

Changed my rating from a 2 to a 5. Since the specialization update, I took a few days off from it and thought about business in general. Came back and tried a few theories and company is blasting off. The support/ dev person takes real time feedback and applies it or informs you of the idea behind the next update in advance, so your concerns and feedback is heard and often applied right away. Have not seen that in any other game I play.

Hi, thank you for the review. We really appreciate that you recognize our effort for the community! Thank you so much! Good luck with your business on StartUp!

Love the idea!

I really like it how you can give reviews directly to the developer and that you can implement your own ideas into the game!!

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind review! Every idea you give us is very helpful!

Limits

I had to drop my rating from a 5 to a 2. The latest update with the specializations, limit your growth down to 2 sectors for lower level players. For example, building a car now requires making tires with no way to make them, producing electronics and jewelry with no way to refine gold or to purchase the refined gold. Need to rethink this update.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the review, we can easily update the specialisations value in order to make the game better.

Not for an IPhone

You don’t have back button. You can’t go back only way to close and open the game if you wanna go back and chose something else.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. This issue has been resolved in 2.9.7. -Francesco

Nice Dev

I’ve been making my way in this game so far and I’ve kinda almost fluctuated the market by my self but besides that this games very fun :) I do think you might need the cheap subscription to play normally but it’s fine for me. I hope more people end up trying it as the dev is updating it constantly with new features and fixes.
