Ratings and reviews

Completely unbearable. You are forced to make 10 purchases, many of which are unreasonable and can be completely avoided in real life. Every career is pre generated, meaning that if you you choose the same career as someone else, you will have the same wife and child, as well as similar credit score. The app incredibly buggy and poorly designed. The keyboard will just keep popping up when you want to go back. I hope the schools got some kind of grant money for subjecting us to this garbage.

I think it was a decent app. Some font sizes could be a little smaller so the credit score doesn't mesh in with the other text, but I think it was decently designed. I do think a purple and green theme would work better for visuals in the app as well. I didn't experience any issues with the app itself, so there were no complaints minus the visual bugs.

it was pretty fun being put in a real-life scenario and learning to manage money. Think in advance before buying something and thinking about the later effects. It was honestly fun
