User reviews

great concept, flawed execution

the game itself has potential, but having a pop-up after every action that has to be cleared before you can assign the next task is poor design.

additionally, the managing editors and item(s) that allow you to automate progress do not seem to take employee roles into consideration. it regularly assigns employees to tasks in other roles, meaning lower quality articles unless you sit there micromanaging through the hundreds of pop-ups.

if an option to disable the "task completed" pop-ups (or at least allow you to tap on tasks even if the pop-up is active) were added, and managing editors started assigning tasks correctly, it'd be a great game. as it is, it's more frustrating than enjoyable.
