Fortune City - Expense Tracker for Negative User Reviews

✓ Decent …butNice that it makes it entertaining to keep track of expenses, tho the addition of premium and micro transactions seem a bit on the nose. While it is a F2P mini game of sorts, perhaps a bit less obvious..Atlas429rVersion: 3.24.1

✓ Great game, dangerous for your finances!Great game set up. The major downside as an app that helps you control your finances is that it encourages you to spend money, not directly but that’s the only way you can get more buildings and grow your city, add people to the population etc. Consequently, I’ve only given this a one star because if I had a weaker resolve when it comes to spending money I might be in trouble & there are plenty of people that don’t! If I don’t spend money for in any given day, I can do virtually nothing..TwinmumscotVersion: 1.7.5

✓ 城市很好用，但寬度沒有符合所有介面我使用12.9吋的螢幕，記帳時所有快捷按鈕全部看不見。主畫面也太大無法縮小，能看到的內容超級少。使用體驗比手機的差了非常多。.迴廊暗客Version: 3.26.2

✓ How about a reward for NOT spending?Just got the game and while playing around, it feels like you’re being encouraged to spend money so that you could track spending and grow your city. The way it’s set up now, the decision to go spend $5 on a coffee has more a reward than choosing to make coffee at home and stay under budget. Good concept, beautifully made into an adorable game, but doesn’t actually build better financial habits, but instead encourages bad ones. One way to possibly counter this would be to offer a “no money spent today!” option that has a better reward than logging a bunch of frivolous spending would. Just a thought..Ally8579Version: 2.6.1

✓ Helpful, but...I’m still trying to figure out how to make this app work for me. Multiple accounts, adding income... I’ll figure it out I’m sure, but it’s a little clunky to start. UPDATE - I had to abandon this as an actual useful tool because it’s just too basic at the free level and too expensive for something supposedly about saving money. When I started using it there were many opportunities to “earn” diamonds by “helping the salesman” watching videos and the like, but I haven’t seen the salesman in months and only rarely are there videos - maybe once every week or two. As a budgeting tool this is less than useless as a game... It’s OK but has a lot of issues as well. I don’t understand all of the five star reviews or how this can be a featured app. There are some other great apps for this purpose but this isn’t one of them..Madcity MamaVersion: 2.9.5

✓ Cool enoughI love the idea behind fortune city, and I adore the other apps such as plant nanny, but I found starting off that everything was a bit unclear. I feel encouraged to spend money in order to gain more buildings and to employ citizens. I’m spending all my gems to merge buildings because I never seem to earn many coins and don’t have enough people to hire to not merge. There’s no real clear instructions on how to utilise the app and I really only play it as a game now..Cait-da-bossVersion: 1.9.3

✓ Needs to track reoccurring upcoming expensesI bought this app because I was hoping it would help me to keep track of upcoming expenses so I could better anticipate how much to set aside for them, but it doesn’t—at least not well. It won’t let me input expenses “the normal way” past the present day of the week. The only way I can track upcoming expenses is to set “reminders” and to that I had to tool around under settings on another page (the reminders feature wasn’t even highlighted in the tutorial), but it doesn’t even add them into my budget analytics ahead of time. Would be more useful if it could take my calculations and tell me how much to set aside for reoccurring charges! I’d like to see this in a future update! Otherwise the app is pretty much useless! I already have online banking through my bank, and my expenses are listed there as they hit my account..Maddie1022Version: 1.7.5

✓ Its good but limitingIt’s good in a game fashion, as it is similar to the games that builds a city over time. it incorporates financial elements in it which makes it deeper, yet there are many transaction everyday, it makes sense the game limits the amount of building you can build a day (otherwise you can build a ultimate city over night, loses the game value) and it of course allows multiple entry of expenditures/income more than the 5 buildings that are built. however somehow In my mind this conflicts with each other, as really the incentive of logging my expenditure in this app is to see the city grow prosperous, that I stop logging out of the 5 building a day limits, which defeats its purpose as my financial tracker. All in all I think it’s a good game, yet as a financial tracker, it’s a good idea which many studios are doing now, ways to gamify your life, but I find it blurred in its focus. Imho, experience it yourself..AlexaC123Version: 2.3.3

✓ Builds Habit of Expenses-Tracking, But Game Gets DistractingFortune City really makes you want to track every single one of your expenses. But, the game is too well-done and you could easily spend too much time playing the game instead of tracking your expenses. Perfect for people who want to develop a habit of expenses-tracking, and have great self-restraint with games. If you have impulsive tendencies, this is not for you. Certain features of the game really help me remember to record my expenses throughout the day (e.g. clocking in, earning characters and achievements). But, I get annoyed by the frequency of little tasks to earn diamonds, and the diamond-related components of the game seem like pointless distractions. I would much rather pay for a version without the distractions that efficiently makes you build the habit of tracking expenses..Nine Cello ChordsVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Great idea, lots of room for improvementI've waited to write this review because I was hoping they'd fix some nonsense in the game. They haven't... I understand it's not a game to make you save money, but if you're keeping track of your expenses I'm assuming you don't want to spend too much money. The game makes you wanna spend money because you can only have buildings (=jobs for your citizens) if you spend. If they want to gamefy the experience, they should make it make sense. For example, every time you level up your building, you lose jobs and you're not making that much more money. It's not worth it. Parks don't have a lot of variety and are useless. You should get a better reward for not spending money. Anyway, I hope the game improves cause I really enjoy the premise..BoomsadnessVersion: 1.5.6

✓ 😕Was great until you got rid of like half the categories. I re-downloaded the app on another device and now they’re gone. I have to make my own and reorganize everything. Please fix.Bri the BeanVersion: 3.9.1

✓ UselessI’ve been using this app for about a month now and it hasn’t helped me budget, track my spending or curb my spending. It encourages spending as that’s the only way to get buildings, it asks you to buy diamonds to progress faster in the “game” and the spending is only tracked week by week, so I’ve no idea how much of my fortnightly pay is left every second week as nothing is carried over. There’s no reward for not spending anything in a day and no long term goal setting at all. Am disappointed..V.moxhamhallVersion: 1.8.3

✓ Dodgy, deletingYou shouldn’t be running ads that ask for people’s personal & financial details, disguised as a 'CNN' editorial on Kim Dotcom. There's no way that advertising crock was endorsed by CNN, and I'm pretty sure the info the ad is asking for is a breach of privacy laws.YaysparklesVersion: 2.3.0

✓ Probably Data MiningAlso has monthly subscription. But it’s cute and makes visual aid charts for you.EzaleevaVersion: 3.28.2

✓ GlitchyI like the app but recently the more buildings I acquire the more slow it is to run. Sometimes I can barely move across the city because it’s so glitchy..Player2937Version: 3.15.2

✓ Not worth itHad this years ago and it was nice till it stopped working. I’ve missed it so came back to it to find out that what use to be free is now in the paid part. Sorry for a basic budget of how much in and how much out is not worth it. If I’m going to pay for an app it should have no permissions. As a fun building app it’s ok..MinekandyVersion: 3.31.3

✓ Fun but hard to get the hang ofIt’s a really adorable interface and fun to use. I personally have not really utilized the actual tracking features because I just wanted to level up my buildings and get a variety of buildings, which Is hard to do if using it as intended. The different challenges in it (finding stuff around your city and more) are honestly difficult to understand and I still haven’t been able to do any of them. The characters that you come into contact with are well formed, but still hard to really get the gist of. There are VIP citizens, which I don’t understand either. I really like the concept of what they are trying to do, but I’m just winging it honestly. But that’s why they got 3 stars for a game that I honestly don’t know how to use to its full potential..Carley WilsonVersion: 3.17.6

✓ Nice graphics but pushes you to spend moneyI like the cute graphics and that this app rewards you for tracking money however, if you want the city building aspect to progress faster you might spend more money. This is because a building only pops up if you log a new activity ( new income or a purchase). Since I can’t change how often I get paid, I would have to spend money more often to make my city grow faster. To fix this problem in the next version/ update , add a category for saving money that would take the amount entered out of income. That way this game can encourage its users to save money as well..John5446474897()Version: 2.0.1

✓ Punishes you for saving moneyTried this out for a few months, hoping it would help me budget. i did find it fun and useful for that, although the game has bizarre mechanisms that punish you for not spending money at least 5 times a day. they must really not know their audience... people installing budgeting apps are obviously seeking programs that teach them to save. this game does the opposite. i managed to stick with the game despite that fault. but now i have really hit a wall i did not see coming. once you play the game long enough to level up your buildings a few times, it stops being free to play. i CANNOT upgrade the buildings in my city unless i pay irl money for “diamonds” (the games pay-to-play currency). it’s pretty sneaky not to even give me the option to level up in other ways. the game doesn’t have functions that give you diamonds for free either, unlike some other games with p2p options. i cannot move any further without giving them money. i’ll be uninstalling this now, since the gamemakers so clearly misunderstood that anyone who would play this game is trying not to spend money..O l i v eVersion: 1.9.3

✓ Good App, but use with Caution.A brilliant app for tracking your finances, however the inclusion of micro-transactions adds a predatory overtone. For an app about budgeting, the fact that it offers up to £99 in “time-savers” is ultimately shameful. I will also point out that you can pay a monthly subscription to this app (£2-somthing), so don’t feel forced to buy any Transactions to support the developer..C0nnieCatVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Might have some problems if you want to use it for a long timeLovely little app which will make expense tracking quite fun. However, be aware that there will be toooo many buildings after using it for a while, which makes the app glitchy, slow and battery-draining. I also hope that they have some sort of data exporting option, otherwise you will lose all your transactions once you decided not to use the app anymore. So what they need is to make this still as fun after a year, otherwise people are gonna leave and probably leave with a bitter taste in their mouth losing all the data. Hope the developer listens to me..FgoogleadsVersion: 3.18.1

✓ Not a fan 👎🏽Sorry guys, while the graphics are very cute and the idea is good in theory, I just don't see it as practical app. It rewards you for spending IRL ie you get to build more of your cute little city, which trains your brain to associate "spending = positive action". This is not something I personally want ahaha! It's not much of a game either, nor is it a practical budget tracker. While others may enjoy it, I have to admit it's not for me. ✌🏽.MabellinaVersion: 1.6.2

✓ Cash GrabbingI accidentally pressed the button to spend gems to replace the coins I lacked to merge two buildings. There was no message asking whether I wanted to confirm. I spent money on those gems and it’s absolutely ridiculous that not only is the app designed in a way which intentionally makes people accidentally buy gems, but it cost me 200+ gems to merge two level 1 buildings. I sent a message to the app’s support system and received an automated response with terrible grammar, telling me there is no way for me to get my gems back. This has obviously happened to many other people and is a tactic used by other apps to get people to spend the currency they’ve bought with real money..KrustyKrabbieVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Cashy bug?Casey permanently has the gold star bubble over him. Originally I thought this was to tell you that the app had an update available, but I have the most updated version. So now ever time I poke him to talk, I'm sent immediately to the app store page for this app, but there's no update. Considering how I have both the Cashy statue and the monument park which has a smaller Cashy statue, it's a bit jarring that I can't talk to him anymore. Please fix. Sometimes I accidentally tap him as well, and being sent to the app store every time is very annoying—especially when it's not even for a good reason..SuperZenMaster_ZennyVersion: 3.0.2
