  1. [R1] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Best Brokers sucks: Best Brokers sucks because they don’t track dividends, or have most ETFs, so it’s basically “I’ve heard of this company, let’s buy stock and see if it goes up.”
  2. [R2] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 5/5 · US Addictive: The fact you can simulate is one step ahead of the game get bad returns on the game to turn good profits in real life. super addictive
  3. [R5] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 5/5 · US Must get: Great game helps you learn to invest and it is a must have for kids!!!
  4. [R6] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US A little disappointed: It doesn’t seem that this app is updated very often. I have been trying to “buy” a stock that had an IPO 2-3 mos ago and the app doesn’t recognize the symbol.
  5. [R3] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Developers help: I do not know how to use this on my Apple Watch. Whenever I try, it says “start on iPhone”. I did start on iPhone and buy stocks. It doesn’t make sense. Developers help
  6. [R11] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 5/5 · US Easy to use and understand: Easy to watch stocks
  7. [R15] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Prices: Please put an option in the settings to change all prices to usd instead of the euro so that people in America can use this app
  8. [R27] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Great platform, mean developers.: This is a great app, I mean it’s a great way to learn the stock market! I wish they only had more currencies to pick from and you could select which time zone you were in. Next if you read the 1&2 star reviews the developers are kinda jerks to some people, so if you looking for a good app 5 stars, if you’re looking for a developer who cares about the users less t
  9. [R9] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Help Please: Says it works on iPhone 6 and iOS 12 but won’t open just crashes
  10. [R10] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Please Delete My Account: There is not a way for me to delete this account and I would like it done ASAP.
  11. [R13] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Can’t even load: Just get a never ending loading screen if I could give 0 stars that’s what this app would get. Tried deleting app and then downloading again nothing.
  12. [R16] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Game wouldn’t load: I waited for like 10 minutes and it didn’t load😟
  13. [R7] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US You have to pay $3 to get 25k fake cash: You have to spend real money to get fake money 🤦‍♀️
  14. [R36] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Good app, but could use some improvements: In terms of a simulator, this is one of the best on the App Store. But there is still a lot of room to improve. There are no derivatives (options), which for someone trying to learn the stock market is a disappointment. Also, you have to start with $10,000. I wish that you could set the value that you start with (preferably lower). Lastly, you cannot rese
  15. [R42] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · GB Was a great game but adverts now get in the way: On an iPhone XS the adverts bar is now slapped 80% through your portfolio rather than beneath it which is seriously ugly and extremely distracting. It would be far better to put it at the top of the screen somewhere or even shorten the portfolio to it did not run under it.
  16. [R43] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Big bootay clapper: I thought this app gave you FREE 25,000 USD
  17. [R28] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US There is no delete account option: Title
  18. [R46] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 2/5 · US Good simulator but has so many spammers: I don’t get it. Why are people messaging saying they are bitcoin experts and want to help make 7000% profit on a daily basis. Like what is wrong with you people.
  19. [R18] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Fun but seemingly not comparable to irl: It’s a cool, fun way to introduce yourself to stocks, but the prices don’t seem real-time and up to date with irl prices. Pls correct me if I’m wrong
  20. [R19] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Not real prices: Yes, this is paper trading. But even if this is paper trading, prices should be close to the days price (delayed). However, this app does not provide that. I traded Apple, but the price it showed on the app was FAR from the current day price (like 4 days in price). This is not a proper paper trading app.
  21. [R24] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 3/5 · US Slow update: It updates the live stock price slowly
  22. [R37] Best Brokers Stock Market Game 1/5 · US Not real-time: This app claims real-time stocks, but it’s not. Not even sure where these numbers come from, but they aren’t even close to reality. Meta is traded as facebook, USD is at .89 and GameStop is trading at $20. Disappoint.
  23. [R63] Business Empire 3/5 · US Don’t waste your time. Ads: Ads on ads on ads, the ads play sounds in the background and if you try to mute it another ad starts playing. It’s annoying. Fix it.
  24. [R67] Business Empire 1/5 · US Way too many freaking ads: It’s crazy how you literally cannot do more than three things at one time before you’re being forced to watch a 30 second ad every single freaking time and if you wanna get rid of them, you have to pay weekly or monthly. Screw that for anyone that’s tired of the ads I found if you turn off your Wi-Fi and your cellular data and you completely close out and restart the gam
  25. [R70] Business Empire 1/5 · US Impossible: This game would be fun, but it shows you an ad after literally everything you do and all of the ads are hard to close because they make the x super small making it take a long time to get back to the game all just to get another ad 2 seconds later completely bs if u still choose to download it goodluck see you in the reviews soon
  26. [R79] Business Empire 2/5 · US Ads Galore: If you like ads….play this “Game”. Want to earn money? Ad Want to speed up? Ad Spend the money you made watching ads? Ad Declined an ad for a bonus? Ad You’ll get bored of this game fast, done pay to stop ads, they show a lot of other better games to play!
  27. [R90] Business Empire 3/5 · US It’s a good game but… there’s an Ad issue…: Look… I really want to give it 5 Stars. It loses 1 Star because sometimes the progression can be REALLY slow, especially when with Ads, you get an ad like every 5 taps. And I would give it 4 Stars since I paid for no ads. And I don’t get tap ads. HOWEVER! If I pay for no ads, even if I can get some sort of bonus from an ad, I shouldn’t have to watch the
  28. [R91] Business Empire 1/5 · US Scam: I bought the 7 day no ads and it still showed me ads and I got scammed
  29. [R94] Business Empire 2/5 · US Not Rewarding Purchases: I paid $10.00 to disable ads forever. There are times when you can watch an add for a bonus. However that is not what im referring to. For example, I go to pay taxes… AD. I click start a business… AD LIKE WTF.
  30. [R107] Business Empire 4/5 · US Great game, would be 5 stars if not for absurd amount of ad watching: As the title says, you guys made a really great game truly. It’s impressive and even educational I’m having a lot of fun with it. I paid for the no ad pack and man.. I’m still having to watch ads to do anything in this game more than any other game I’ve played before. It’s a shame because this game really is great and could h
