### 1/5 — If you love watching ads…??

*2025-11-27*

Then this is a game for you ! Also ? If you like throwing money into thin air, this is for you !
Seriously, you won’t find a game here…
In order to starts, you have to first, watch ads until your eyes are sore, then it will ask you to unlock the game with a fee.
This is most definitely not a free game at all…

### 5/5 — Not realistic fully

*2025-08-13, version 1.2*

It’s an alright game takes a bit of time to get use to but it’s okay

### 3/5 — Important advices

*2025-05-30*

We need more languages.For example like Asia languages

### 1/5 — The uk doesn’t use the dollar and make a better tutorial

*2025-04-10, version 1.2*

The title says it all

### 1/5 — Inflation Uncontrollable

*2024-12-22*

No matter how much I raise the Key Rate, or Taxes, etc, it keeps going up up and up. Unemployment is realistic but fix your game

### 2/5 — Bout the game

*2024-11-18*

This game used to be good because you could advance without paying money but now I have completed the next level and it won’t let me advance, I’m only on the Chinese clothing level as I almost never play this game but still you won’t even let people play the next levels with new products and countries without paying? If this is a bug please fix it, if not then I don’t know what you’re doing. Along with this the bugs are insane even with new update, please fix.

### 1/5 — no chinese

*2024-11-05*

the game why theres no chinese

### 3/5 — UK uses ‘£’ GBP - Great British Pound

*2024-10-01, version 1.1.7*

On the country selection on just opening the game for the first time. 
I’m unsure how you used correct currency for other nations like Brazil, Nigeria, Switzerland but a whole U.K you made a mistake and stated they use U.S DOLLARS 

U.K uses GBP Great British pounds 
This is wrong. Please amend this

### 1/5 — iAP’s Fail To Restore…

*2023-12-24*

I bought everything in this game and accidentally ended up deleting it, now I can’t even restore the purchases I already made, and it’s telling me to purchase them again… do not spend any money on this app at all! If you accidentally delete it or load up a new phone? You will have to buy everything again. 

This app is the absolute worst $20 I’ve ever wasted on a game. 🤦

### 1/5 — Purchases

*2023-12-17*

Still cant get the the genius or the all nations/ genius purchased packages to open. It even says I’ve already purchased and do I want it again for free. I just want one of them to work and pick a different industry and country
