It's a great game! Time passes by a little slowly and you have to actually be open in the app to pass time, there arent to many adds, but in app purchases are a little spendy, but you can get along fine without making any purchases, just wishing that you could pass time by faster by watching an ad or something. Edit: it's a little unrealistic as you have to go through hundreds of diffrent jobs to get to the top, but still great!

It's pretty much non-stop ads and it moves super quick you don't even really get to enjoy playing. It makes it challenging because you have to watch ads to do everything or if the constantly make choices but the choices you're constantly making are the ones they are telling you to make.and then you'll get the pop-up choices and one will have a video. And the videos are anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds long.overall it's not enjoyable because you don't really get to play the game.

Game seems like a good concept, but it is FAR from being ready to release. It keeps cutting off after each attempted choice,making everything have to be repeated. This after having to wait over 2 hours for it to load makes it a total loser as it is. I'd probably like to play it if they can get it to work as advertised. They replied promptly,so I raised to 2 stars, but issue not resolved before I deleted game.

I liked the idea of the game, and at first, it was fun. The first hour or 2 into the game went great. Then, 75% of the game, expenses were higher than profits, setting you up for failure. I spent about $25 before giving up, and almost made it to presidency. So i started a new game, tried to actually earn the money, and it seemed impossible, got boring really fast. About half of my time was spent watching ads for more money. I played this for 6 hours and dont recommend. P.S. i never review things

Gave 5 stars because the game rewarded me for doing so, but it really does suck so im changing this. Its impossible to make as much as you have to spend. Literally. The game is pointless, you basically have one way you can play and thats it. Besides having to watch literally hundreds of ads so you can afford the schooling and all the other ridiculous requirements, its extremely boring.

Good concept, poor implementation. As noted by others the farther you progress the steeper the debt forcing you to utilize the casino or stocks. Both of which I've noticed have high fail rates. Stocks seem to go opposite of what you select more often than not. More than once it would shoot opposite almost immediately of my buy/sell selection causing a loss. Overall game is rigged to force micros or spam advertising. Do not recommend.

It is fun, but is designed to force you to watch ads. There are certain choke points where it is several years in a row where the job requirements cost more than the job pays, if you dont have about 30k saved up before you go in, you run out of money and lose your car. This makes it nearly impossible to go on. Cool concept, i would rather have paid a couple bucks than be forced into watching an ad every 3 minutes

Cool so far. Casino and stock market is confusing, but I've literally only been on it for 10 mins lol Update: After 2 days I can say that this game is a revolving door or ads and in-game purchases. When you start the third round of jobs, it drops your income, but the expenses increase. You have an ad for coin option, but it's not nearly enough. I've already dropped $10 on this game, and I refuse to spend more, especially with my last purchase, I didn't get the items I paid for.

The game is not difficult, you simply need to save a bit of money before you move forward. I would gave it a 5, but it feels like you don't really have freedom to just do anything you want, it also doesn't seem super unique in its genre. I enjoy difficult long lasting games that reward you after each difficult milestone, this seems exactly that but replaces difficulty with your own time.

have to keep watching ads to progress, and it made me restart for no apparent reason. Many 5 star reviews result of incentive in app to do so. Also runs ads longer than stated on time constantly by a significant amount, and has strange extremely sexist statements. I usually would see an alternate meaning to this, but there is none, it's just wrong. UNINSTALLING

This game isn't bad but after a while is just a waiting game, like many idle games. It's easy to stay ahead with side jobs, and you don't die if you watch your stats. However, after age 34 there a LOT of waiting. Waiting for a certain age for grandkids, etc., money for the down-payment for cars, etc. And that's where it gets boring. The stock market minigame is super glitchy and doesn't work most of the time.

I've made in app purchases but I can't disable ads. The ability to speed up college and such and the winning rate gambling seems to stop/tank when you have money issues. When you lose one thing, you lose everything and start at the begining... With added happiness drains. I could watch ads to help myself get back... But they won't disable from the settings though I've made several in game purchases. Blatant lies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The game is designed to make you lose money. You have to upgrade certain things (house, car, family, education) in order to get new jobs. But when you upgrade those things, your living cost is more expensive than the salary that the new job pays you. It's designed to make you have to watch videos and buy upgrades in order to play. Uninstalled.

It's alright. I like games like this where most of the gameplay is text instead of graphical. This game leaves a lot to be desired from a life sim though. Also what's up with the $125 price for 2 times salary? Dear devs: that's absolutely ridiculous to even consider putting a price like that in a game like this. I've never seen such a high price for double income on any game I've played that had the option to purchase double income. I've only seen a few games with in-app purchases over $100 but those games were hugely graphic intensive with much more replay value than this one. Bottom line in my opinion: this game is worth downloading and playing once then delete. Also, if you're gonna market a game in any given country, you should learn to speak that language fluently or hire someone to edit your dialogue for you. Otherwise it just feels cheaply done. Good luck.

Its addicting at first and I'm the type to just want to achieve the goal on principle. However, this game is a scam. It forces you to always be in a deficit financially for the character. $50 later on upgrades and I'm still just losing money. Which then requires more purchases. If it didn't require certain options or raised the wages, it'd be more fun because you could work at your pace. But when I'm forced to lose 6000 a month in game, it just stops being fun when I've already bought a lot.

I like that this game actually works and you choose when you watch ads for bonuses. With that said, here's a tip. Unless you're good at stocks/casino, you won't make any money after large clothing chain until President's Associate. So, save up that cash THEN. Also, I watched a TON of ads, but it was worth it. This game is really fun and challenging and teaches you a lot about life. I just wish there was a way to speed up time, because waiting to age (family upgrades) is boring.

Started off well but maybe there is a glitch? When you watch ads to either earn some money or skip ahead in education, the ad will play but stop a few seconds before the end and take you to the start screen where you can continue the game. Once you continue the game, you don't get money or skip ahead because the ad didn't finish playing. I had played for two hours before this started happening, enough to really like the game! Please fix or tell me how I can fix it!

absolutely terrible.....all of a sudden. today I open the game and every 8 seconds it crashes. I swear it crashed 8 times in less than 2 minutes! I mean it's not a super cool game to begin with, but still a decent time waster. gotta keep the app up to gain experience and level things up. can't do that with it crashing every 2.5 seconds.

Timers continue to run while watching some ads. So, even though you have enough money after the ad , you still lose your job, etc. The ads are a bit excessive as is, so this just frustrated me too much. Also, to move to the next level, sometimes you must take a pay cut, $3k to $2k is one example. But, your bills do not decrease and you can pretty quickly end up in a bad position. Otherwise, the game is pretty fun.

At the very start of the game, advancing up the ranks is easy. Once deeper in, there are no ways at all for you to even try to be economical in your spending, and your expenses, which you are absolutely required to keep in order to advance higher, quickly blow out your income so that the only way you can stay solvent is to watch copious amounts of ads that they pay you game-money for, and only just enough to keep you needing to do so constantly. All in all, the game is an ad scam.
