I would be fine with having ads to speed it up instead of constantly having to wait hours for it to be done for one part of a building. ### 3/5 — Good but stops working at one point *2026-06-22, version 1.200* The game was good at the beginning, competitions were good and worked, missions helped me understand what the next thing is to do, and wait times were not long. However, the more buildings you have and the more updated your campus is, I am not able to win competitions anymore, I can even get fourth place. Also, graduates are only good at the latest subject you unlock so it is not equally distributed along the graduates. I do everything, I get the highest ranked professors, I change the timetable, some buildings are at max level for everything and yet it doesn’t fix the issue. ### 2/5 — erro *2026-05-14* eu jogo tem uns anos e sempre que chego perto de construir tudo, começa a dar erro pra entrar. deem um jeito nisso! ### 2/5 — Unbalanced and unfair *2026-03-26, version 1.200* I love a lot things about this game, it’s a nice and casual distraction. But one thing that drives me up the wall is the lack of apparent playtesting when it came to balancing knowledge and competitions. The more I build my university, the harder is it is do well in student competitions. At a reputation of 8,000+, pretty decent professors, some really good, maxed out cafeterias and gym. But no matter how I schedule my classes and balance the stalls is? There is nothing I can do to even get 4th place anymore. My best students are ranking at the 240s and it just keeps going higher and higher despite my best efforts. I sunk a lot of money in this game, is this just a trap to siphon more money to roll for professors. 120 gems for a CHANCE to get the best professors. Is that the goal here? ### 4/5 — Great game but some suggestions *2026-02-25, version 1.200* First of all, It takes FOREVER to upgrade buildings it would be more enjoyable if reduced. Here’s two possible ways to do that 1. Reduce wait times 2. Get fun maybe academic mini games to play to speed up the time if you win make the mini games winnable. Secondly, I would like if you could switch the gems and money from dean’s building balance. Here’s two ways to do that 1. Rebirth 2. Make a direct transfer of gems to money vice versa. ### 4/5 — Great and addicting, but… *2026-01-30, version 1.200* I wish we didn’t get charged real $ for extra builders, the long waits to only building at a time puts me off playing, please consider making it so that builders can be hired using in game cash to make it more intriguing!! Otherwise great game. ### 2/5 — Was entertaining *2026-01-07, version 1.200* The game is fun at the start but waiting for buildings to finish being built gets longer and just get more boring cause no one is spending 6$ to get another building team. ### 3/5 — MAS CONSTRUCTORES POR FAVOR *2025-12-27, version 1.200* Todo es increíble salvo que solo tienes UN SOLO equipo de construcción y no se pueden obtener más si no es pagando. Esto entorpece, enlentece y hace aburrido todo progreso del juego. Es más, solo eso casi hace que lo desinstale. Por favor, pongan que se puedan comprar o conseguir más sin dinero real. Es insoportable tener que esperar horas, y a veces, DIAS a que terminen porque me quede sin gemas. ### 4/5 — Good game *2025-12-07, version 1.200* It should be updated more, I suggest a languages department like a department of Spanish and a department of French. Maybe add a 3rd department for each subject. Arts: dpt of food. Sciences: dpt of biology. Technology: dpt of aerospace engineering. Humanities: dpt of religion. Sports: dpt of soccer. Economics: dpt of business. ### 3/5 — うーん *2025-11-09* ゲーム性自体は好みですが建築が課金しないと一箇所しかできないのに無駄にだいたい10時間くらいかかるのでその間することがなく存在を忘れるゲームでもある 建築が終わってもまた次の建築なのでほぼログインするだけという感じ イベントも毎回同じな上プレイヤーは大してすることがないので暇つぶしにもならないがとりあえず続けている ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-08-24, version 1.200* Why after a few levels you have to pay real money to upgrade money vault? ### 1/5 — It wouldn’t let me start over *2026-06-10, version 1.200* I started the game and forgot to upgrade energy so now I am loosing money and I can’t reset the game, could you please fix this please. ### 1/5 — It didnt open *2026-05-13, version 1.200* When i open the app its didnt really open its always continue ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-02-26, version 1.200* Terrible app ### 1/5 — Promising but not good *2026-02-04, version 1.200* Essentially unplayable unless you pay for a 'manager'. Shame as it looks promising otherwise ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-12-21, version 1.200* Se quedo pillado al principio y no me deja avanzar ### 1/5 — Buying skip ads but not work *2025-12-16, version 1.200* Buying the very expensive skip ads but not have it please help and fix ### 1/5 — . *2025-11-22, version 1.200* Pésimo, no me llegan algunos. Estuve investigando por horas y nada, no me dan una solución ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-10-04, version 1.200* Nothing works ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-09-22, version 1.200* Hi i can’t play the game in ipad’s 10th generation ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loveeee *2026-07-31, version 1.200* I loveee this game I’m like addicted but it’s quite frustrating when i only have 1 builder and I have to pay money to get more. I mean I get the hustle but maybe adding the option to watch ads to cut the time of the builders would be really good so I could play the game more instead of having to wait a bunch of hours for me to play again. ### 5/5 — managed to ruin it *2026-06-04, version 1.200* i don’t know how but when i first played this game i managed to ruin it by spending the money on classroom seats and after it tried to give me the tutorial and i cant even go through it bc the money gone. now everytime i try to redownload the game it says 0 moneys and the tutorial tries to run but i cant do anything. really wanted to enjoy the game but i messed up. ### 5/5 — Total Fun *2026-05-27, version 1.200* Best Game Ever!!! ### 5/5 — New Update *2026-05-25, version 1.200* Is there any more updates coming for this game? ### 5/5 — cool *2026-05-11, version 1.200* just cool ### 5/5 — V📚📚📝✏️very fun game and i got 5 suggestions for future updates this game *2026-03-03, version 1.200* The game is very fun and i really like it even doing the construction uogrades takes time but i think they should add some majors and additional buildings. 1. Add the Nursing program which it’s a very competitive major and it can help students study to become a Nurse 2. Add a Student Union so people can hangout, socialize and study. 3. Add theatre arts major so students can do drama class and pretty much anything. 4. Add bachelors of Automotive so students can learn how to become a Mechanic and get ready the workforce, number 5. bachelors of Welding. it will benefit students and teach how welding theorys like constructions and many more. i highly recommend adding those programs it gives the game a big boost and popularity ### 5/5 — 업데이트 해주세요 *2026-03-01* 아직 신설 가능한 공간이 남아있는데 업데이트 좀 해주세요 그리고 식당이 너무 협소해서 학생은 많은데 다 못먹고 가는데 더 업그레이드 가능하게 해주세요.. 재밌게 하고있는데 컨텐츠 더 많으면 좋겠습니다 ### 5/5 — Fun Game With Lots of Potential *2026-01-31, version 1.200* Great game with plenty to do at the beginning. But once you complete everything, there’s not much left except waiting for updates (and there hasn’t been one in over a year) and the weekly competition. The weekly event also needs more variety instead of just the book fair. Still, it’s a fun game if you enjoy this type of game. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-12-28, version 1.200* Hi love ur apps been playing this since what it first came out? I remember the first version of this is pretty cool and fun. (2023) There’s just some key details that I missed doing in this game: Tapping the principal for more money (lol) Could get more Dias by just watching ads. Now I don’t even have any left 😂 In conclusion, this app is great :) ### 5/5 — Best game yet! *2025-11-15, version 1.200* All I really have to say is this fame is really addictive and I love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
