Great idea, but too stressful. You lose money so quickly because the weeks tick past every few seconds, so your recurring costs like salaries get paid out very fast. It means that if you're someone who likes to take their time and think about what they're doing, who likes to reread and reanalyze their stats again and again, then you're going to lose large amounts of money every time you do that, which makes the game feel incredibly stressful because it doesn't give you time to stop and think.

While fun, this version of the game is plagued with issues. Achievements resetting, insights not properly carrying over to new games, an extremely high battery drain, frequent stuttering, audio issues, events not firing correctly, loading causing visual bugs, pop-up news glitching, lab sliders being unable to be set to their full capacity, and the game crashing if you switch to another app are only some of the issues that affect this version of the game. Edit: Update added even more bugs.
