Since last IOS update something is so wrong with the game Will no longer let us access friends so we can help them game freezes up then wipes out what we did in game prior to trying to go to friends farms Help.
This game really puts your business skills to the test.
Great game probably the best just one problem it wont allow us to demolish the Eiffel Tower very annoying after 38 hours of playing.
Love it, 10 times better than candy crunch..lol.
This is the only game we play and we even got our dad to play it! Super addicting.
Nice time burner. Plenty of grinding to be done. No need to spend money… But we did. $1. Used it wisely and am hanging in there at level 18. It's a lot like Hay Day, but with a more grown-up feel to it.
Is really good game we like it.
Great game! Challenging with fun and easy tasks – that doesn't take days to finish. We even bough more money for a good deal (0.99$).
This game has enough to keep you wanting to play more. It takes time to get enough game money to do things so you have to check back often but it gives more challenge that way! It has become our top favorite game.
Have about 5 hours invested in this game and so far it gets 5 stars. Seems like there is enough to do to provide several months of entertainment. No complaints yet.
We play this game on our iPad also.. Takes a bit to level.
Keeps us busy without tons of attention.
It is addictive and very fun to play. We recommend it.
We play this game on our Windows PC too. Like this version better. Easier to earn credits and cash.
Slow to start, but it picks up later.
This game has enough to keep you wanting to play more. It takes time to get enough game money to do things so you have to check back often but it gives more challenge that way! It has become our top favorite game! Its only problem is the developer dont really support it any more.
We just hit our 3 hours of gameplay, and its a great game, but we recently tried connecting to Facebook and now our game is in a constant loop of trying to connect to Facebook. Ive logged into Facebook multiple times but it seems to never completely connect. If we try to cancel the screen goes back to the game and just shows a loading screen that only goes away if you force close the game.
Enjoy playing as a stress relief.
We need to be able too cancel production.
We've been playing this game for over 5 years and it remains our favorite. Other games have come & gone but BB gets better all the time. Game support is lousy but the game itself provides something for everyone. Building, production, team play, helping others around the world, in-game messages, trade battles. There are new challenges every month.
You could add holiday production on the buildings that require production like holiday cookies different spices that you could grow that you would need for that kind of stuff and things like that.
Really fun game that gives you plenty to do.
Great relaxing game to play on our lunch break.
We like how there are lots of things going on. But the length of time to complete a tsk is very annoying.
Just started playing this game and it's pretty ok so far. Some things take a little while but tasks keep popping up to keep one from losing interest. Gonna keep going and see if it stays on pace.
What did Apple do?? Ever since last update we can no longer connect to help friends It totally freezes and we need to reboot and we frequently lose our progress if we exit the game Please help.
Been playing enjoyably for years with few issues but recently seems to be constantly losing our progress. It is very frustrating to spends weeks on a task, finally finish, go back in an hour layer, sell our stuff only to find out the task is no longer completed.
A little to hard to complete tasks.
Fun game,love the business but we have a couple requests .the game is way too complicated.we cant even keep up with the tutorial.and what do you do if you run out of money.one last thing where do you go if you want to buy money.so if you listen to our requests your game will be much better.
Even ,when we played for a day a week later it through us out of our company.This happened at lest 2 or 3 xs .we had to start over.we will not be returning to this game unless fix your bugs in this game and Make the graphics easier to follow.
Ive had fun playing this game off and on over the years, but it feels like its developers have abandoned this game, and its players. Recently Ive experienced an issue that prevented us from using any game feature that requires internet access. Thats most of the game! We know it is the game and not our device, our internet connection is fine. We have tried to reach out to their support team, but it feels like we are talking to the wind. No response. It used to be you could get a fairly quick response from them over an issue, now you feel lucky if they get back to you within the week. Leaving us with a game that is currently unplayable.
How can we build the tunnel when your program is telling us to upgrade the robotuirum 3 times even though its not allowing us to upgrade? What is wrong with your program.
Avoid spending money on this game too expensive to play, they don't realize that most who are playing this game has no income to spend this game.
How can GI still ask for people to join!? It hasnt supported the game for over a year. No updates. Very disappointed for loyal players. Wouldnt grust any GI games.
We played this game from our home computer and we were up in our levels which we cannot recover to our iPad or iPhoneI am not happy with this because Im starting out as a new player which is VERY UNFAIR.
The game is fun for a little while. In order to advance at a reasonable rate you do need to make purchases with real money. The purchases are expensive. Be careful because poorly designed game interfaces will steal the city credits that you purchase.
This game is interesting it we wouldnt spend money to play because you really cant build or move forward unless you spend city cash which cost astronomical amounts of American cash dollars. Everything is over priced to move forward as well as this game wants to charge you to research even to build items just to move forward in the game even though you have the building in which it should be made. Coins they give are minute and takes forever to build them up. The quest they give are difficult to win as you have to depend on the developers to release what you need to move forward (like the present quest where you need plates of dressings fo finish the first part of the quest and the only thing they release are hats and books. Have no idea what the books are for.) or as usual you have to spend cash to finish the quest or research etc. Too expensive to play Tamara.
This used to be our favorite game, but its gone downhill over the years. Now, there is at least one better game on the market – Megapolis. It was fun, but so long.
We played the game for over 3200 days, but we are deleting it. The game must now be on its last leg as it doesnt remember actions we took or inventory we had from one session to another. We think the writers have done all that they are going to do with it. Let it be known, though, that we never spent any real money on the game.
We used to enjoy this game but during critical times when trying to win prizes it stops allowing internet access right at the end so youve wasted 11 days of nonstop play and lose because of their bug. It just isnt worth it anymore. Now the bugs are out of control recently. There are so many better games out there.
When we try to open our game, after the most recent IOS update, we see the big business logo, then get a black screen. We close then try to open again and nothing. Help! We cant play our game again since Friday 12/25 last week.
Our game will not load in for weeks all of a sudden. We have tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing. We are super disappointed.
We have been playing Big Business game for four years & have been enjoying it. But three days ago our game will not connect to internet or Facebook. Some of our friends in other countries have the same problem. We contacted the developer insight support & they told us that the problem is on our side . We told them that none of our other game have that problem . Waiting to hear their response.
We admit we played this game for several months and enjoyed it. Then we tried to do a quest line to unlock more territory. You get a bonus reward if you finish under a set time limit and we wait to be sure we could do everything in time. Then we discovered it required giving gifts to friends under level 12. We were too high level for the random invite gift to offer new players to us. (we used over 200 trying). And their are no active boards to ask on. That quest is dead and impossible to complete. Soured the whole game for us. Also woke us up to what a money pit it is. Please avoid it unless you have nothing else to spend money on.
We have been playing this game for years. We have an issue we need addressed and cant contact support. The button to contact them in the game is non-functional. When we go to their website and complete all the requested information, there is a security window where you have to type in the letters/number combination before it will submit your information. No matter what we type, it says they dont match. We tried from a different device, and the same thing happened. Im about done! We havent missed a day playing in many years, but today could be the end.
This was a fairly fun game. Compared to other games, this game is a bit aggressive on in app purchases but we guess its a strategy. Recently the game became ridiculously unreasonable to make tasks became mission impossible. It changed port tasks from usually over 12 hours to finish to 3-5 hours period to complete. Why do we want to play a game to be frustrated? We have real life to do that for us! We are abandoning this game and will suggest you not to start.
We used to love this game but over the years it has slowly gone down hill. The daily quests you can participate doesnt give you the rewards you win and when you contact support they accuse you of cheating…with no evidence to base their accusations. You then show them that you did place to win a quest and they tell you that you didnt and too bad.
It was fun in the beginning but growth in the game is getting stale. Takes way too long to get anything done.
Every name we try has already been used, even randomly tapped letters. We believe the odds of two people closing their eyes and tapping the same letters in the same order are about a billion to one against. Could this be a problem with the game.
Game can be awful unstable at times, crashing at the worst times. Customer service has 98% chance of frustrating you and offering no resolution.
