### 1/5 — Needs to be rehauled

*2020-12-28*

Bad graphics. Not fun game play. I love this as a board game and feel like it was butchered by making this app. The computer players always get better roles. Could be much better.

### 1/5 — Why is it on the App Store!! Refund please!

No way to play this game… why is it on the App Store if it doesn’t work on the phone.

### 1/5 — This app is out of date and doesn’t work

*2024-01-02*

Apple please delete this app and refund my money

### 1/5 — Developer Needs to Update For Current OS

*2022-08-13*

Bought this game for $2 a few minutes ago. The App Store page claims it is compatible with my device, but once it was downloaded my iOS claims that the developer needs to update the app to work with the current operating system version. I wasn’t really expecting much but it’s sad to know I can’t play my favorite ever board game on the road.

### 1/5 — Can’t even play

*2022-06-19*

The developer hasn’t updated the game so I can’t use it on my iPhone. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2022-05-30*

This app will not run on my iPad until the dev updates it. Why did the App Store even let me buy it?

### 1/5 — Please update!!

*2022-01-05*

Please update this app, I bought it and found out I can’t even play it!

### 5/5 — No Longer Playable

*2023-03-28, version 1.2.140429*

I’m so sad this game is no longer playable :(

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2018-01-20*

This is a fantastic game with tons of hours worth of fun. The only thing that could make it better is being able to play with other players online.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-09-24*

I have the farming game board game and was happy to see it as an app. Then I found the construction game and love it. So addicting and fun.

### 5/5 — Great Classic!

*2014-06-27*

I am the creator of this app. I've played The Farming Game and The Construction Game board games since I was about 10 years old. When I first got a tablet it was one of the first games I looked for, but I couldn’t find it. When I got started doing apps as an independent developer, I contacted the creators of the game and got permission to do the app for them. This game is a great classic and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

### 4/5 — Seriously??

*2014-08-18*

Gr8 game that I've always wanted n so convenient on a phone. I only have one complaint to offer about this game and that is the way the computer can consistently roll high job payment numbers while a human player is lucky to roll anything above a 4 and rolling a six is almost nonexistent.

### 3/5 — Please update

*2022-03-08*

I play the board game with family and play on my phone when I’m alone. But now my phone asked for an update

### 3/5 — I’m glad this exists....but.....

*2020-07-21*

The Farming Game and the construction game are my absolute favorite board games.  I was excited to find this electronic version and downloaded it immediately.  I have enjoyed using it to a point. There is another review that criticizes the randomness of the dice rolls, and I do believe it’s right.  I have found myself getting very frustrated when my player will circle the board 3 or 4 times in a row not once landing on a paying square, only to have the next few “income” rolls be a 1 or a 2 while the computer players are consistently landing on paying squares and rolling a 3 or more.  This does work to sharpen personal strategy, but once you’ve played a few dozen games it takes all of the enjoyment out of playing anymore.  Maybe instead of one random number generator for the whole game it could be rewritten with a random number generator for each player... just a thought.

### 3/5 — Fine. But it could be better

*2014-10-22*

This game is amazing. I found this way of study guides that can take various forms programmer unfortunately it did not even pay attention to it, the way of the relatively poor is another place that in this case graphics eludes

### 2/5 — Tech issues

*2024-12-26*

Redownloaded the game but it keeps saying the developer of the app needs to update it for the iOS on my phone, it needs to be updated an kept I shape

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2019-08-16, version 1.2.140429*

Every time you use it you have to manually save it before closing the app or you lose everything. Not worth the price
