Hobo - Real Life Simulator for Negative User Reviews

Pay to winUnless you pay real money the game is impossible. Even when using an online guide. Huge waste of time. Scammers.Version: 1.0.48

Idk what the hell this game isI live tycoon games and games that the little man comes from the bottom to the top but you have to spend real cash to get any where in this game and it’s stupid many games that are free with in app purchases you can profess without purchase but with this one you can’t.Version: 1.0.45

Rubbish ConLove the game but total rubbish, designed to make you pay and when you die which you will very quickly you lose what you paid for and need to again. Shame.Version: 1.0.43

Hobo ? more like hobooooGame gets a bad rating but not thatttt bad but you literally die like 100 times before you figure it out and then, and only then, do you get to live to like 25 then your life ends “swiftly”.Version: 1.0.47

No moneyI bought cash for my life, said payment successful and nothing showed up :( i really like this game and am upset that this happened..Version: 1.0.35

StolenI paid almost 9£ to get some extra money and then paid an extra 2£ to get my expenses to 0 and the game just started a new game I never got my 0 expenses or my In game money. The cash also came out of my account! I want my money back.Version: 1.0.47

Half decent, could be betterI don’t like the fact that when you are on the streets you virtually can’t make any money it’s almost like a gamble. this could be improved by making a thing where every month (in game) you get a random £50-£100 and you can increase the amount by “investing in the government” or something. I think this would improve the game and therefore make it more popular. I really hope you add this little detail it would improve the game by miles. -greymouse.Version: 1.0.49

ThoughtsWhilst I’ve come to like this game, there is no possible way to age past around 104 without paying. The prices for market items don’t change drastically often enough for people to enjoy flipping. That said bike parts I’ve never seen go any higher than 17$ and no lower than 3$. That goes for the housing and business market too no drastic inflations or crashes often enough, I spam button pressed 5 years and didn’t get a single one. Overall it’s a good game, but just needs some more randomisation..Version: 1.0.49

Maybe I’m just dumb but starting off was very difficultProbably just a skill issue, but I tried repeatedly playing the game, I could only maybe buy a tent or some food, and then every single time, I would have negative $$$ and my life expectancy drops significantly because I have no money, you need to make almost 10$ a day from whatever you’re doing (which begging is really your only option to start) in order to survive, I would get a tent, have 70$, and then the game sets me up to lose, can’t afford anything else and you drop into the negatives fast, unfortunate because I tried multiple times with the same results.Version: 1.0.48

Fun but frustratingI love the game and the entire concept of it! However it can take a while to build up to a stable point and then be taken away in seconds. This to me was very frustrating. I think the game would be tons better and I would rate it 5 stars if there was a sandbox mode. I would definitely pay $10 or something to unlock that option. That to me and a lot of people in these reviews would really make the game a ton better. Right now I am not going to continue playing the game because it can be frustrating and feel like a waste of time. Hopefully sandbox mode can become a thing! Thank you for taking this into consideration! Please make a sandbox mode lol I want it bad :) Edit: I uninstalled the game because within 2 moves I lost 2 hours worth of progress. Very frustrating. I would rate it 1 star now but I can tell the team behind the game is very nice and has good intentions..Version: 1.0.33

MehThe game would be super good but I’ve spent an entire day dying before reaching 20. I have not been able to get past the age of 20 at all and it’s absolutely enraging. Nothing I do helps, I can’t earn enough money to do anything. I mostly just die after 1 year. I’ve done every possible method I can think of to try and get money so I can actually live but nothing works.Version: 1.0.48

Take away the lifespan and dying at 20Game is cool but i want to spend my life trying to make money.Version: 1.0.47

Quite difficult and purchases don’t workBought the recovery pack and nothing happened. Very difficult to achieve anything in game.Version: 1.0.45

Good Game but needs more accessibilityHello, I have played this game with family members, and it is great, I am blind, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could make this game easier for people like me, thank you very much.Version: 1.0.35

Honestly really annoyingThis game is very hard to get started and it’s just not fun to be honest, tried doing multiple different things to earn money and still died every time..Version: 1.0.47

Did not get purchaseI just purchased a $25000 bag and did not receive my purchase.Version: 1.0.44

Game just kills me for no reasonGood game except for the fact I keep on randomly dying I have plenty of money a house and another year for life expectancy then I just die with no explanation.Version: 1.0.47

I wish I liked this gameThis game should be up my alley. Start from nothing, slim margin to survive, rough seas. Like any good roguelike or idle game. But... it is just not fun. It is early game hell, with death a certainty and randomness your constant enemy. Upgrades are expensive and a handful of bad goes at the street jobs which are all you can do to start kills a run, and you get *nothing* for a failed run. And that is the nail in the coffin. Failing because RNG decides you should fail, and thus your run is wasted with nothing to show for it, is not fun. IF there was something, anything, that you got for failure and starting over, maybe I would stick it out. As it stands, I’ll at least give it another few runs to be fair, but odds are good I’ll uninstall after that. Edit: Gave it another try, drowned in debt, stalled out. Not fun. Done..Version: 1.0.33

Good game, issue experienced with in app purchaseI made a couple of in app purchases however they never credited to the game. The developer made prompt contact with advice to contact Apple for a refund and a promise to look into the issue. Updated from 1 star to 3 stars..Version: 1.0.35

Unnecessarily convolutedSo many aspects of this game could be fine if the devs weren’t dead set on making you go through unnecessary hoops to get to the end. In what world is a flashlight $100? Why do I have to buy a guitar before I can buy a bike? On top of that, the game design wants to be minimalist and it succeeds far too well by making the game the absolute opposite of intuitive and user friendly. The instructions when you open it are an unwelcoming block of text that you NEED to read or else you’ll spend a few lifetimes figuring out how to navigate a game that makes no sense in the first place. If the devs wanted these specific game mechanics it makes no sense to base it in real world concepts like homelessness. Getting a cheap phone is easy these days, why does it cost $500 in the game? Studying for anything let alone the GED should not take 32 days for your chances of passing to only go up by 5%. Poorly thought through game concept, and the insult to injury was how long I had to play it to figure out how to play it in the first place..Version: 1.0.28

I like itI like it but it just gets very confusing cause it keeps ending whenever I buy stuff even though I have more than enough. Also I’m confused on why it makes my money go down???? But overall it’s ok.Version: 1.0.48

Great, addicting game, but bad glitchesI had a game running for several days. I was up to over $1B with tons of real estate and business developments. My life expectancy was at 108 years and my character was 75. Market was good etc. I bought a few apartment buildings and started getting renters. I clicked “Find Renters” and then got a message that I’d lost and my character died. The glitches happened a lot when I first started so in addition to overcoming the game obstacles I had to overcome glitches as well. I’m annoyed at how hard I’d worked to get to a point to where I could buy one property much less multiple and all of it lost because of a glitch. At this point I’m too annoyed to start from the bottom so I’m uninstalling. Lmk when you’ve stabilized the game a little better. It’s a really good game other than the glitches..Version: 1.0.30

Well, decentSo when I began playing this game, I was happy because it didn’t use much data and it was kind of fun, but then one thing ruined it, and I don’t know how this happens. But developers, how do you lose money on that game? I don’t get it, there was an event where you did lose money, but when I usually begged, somehow I lost money when I got a small amount, just ANWSER this question, please?.Version: 1.0.44

Fun but hardI mean it’s fun but it’s really hard to get anywhere, as soon as I’m close to passing the GED my life is over which is annoying. I’ve spent quite a bit of time on it and now I give up..Version: 1.0.42

It’s okSimilar to other life sim games, but more challenging. - Some of the requirements don’t make any sense. Why do I need to be a graffiti artist to get a bus pass? - After I die, I find I need to close the app for it to enable me to purchase the things I purchased before I died. - It’d is be good if you could sell things you’ve finished using (guitar, spray paint). - There should be more info given on starting salaries for jobs, before you apply for them. Y’know, like in real life..Version: 1.0.24

Fix pleaseOnce you pass the GED test, the “Study for GED” option should disappear, i had long passed the test and meant to spam my job to make money but accidentally spammed study for GED and went into so much debt and died.Version: 1.0.45

Rad game, except it’s impossible to move past the first job tierI’ve played the game over and over and over and I really like it over all, except for the fact that no matter what I do, I can’t ever seem to get a scholarship nor make it in to college and up the career ladder with out dying from the debt that you instantly accrue upon doing pretty much anything….it’s getting extremely frustrating….I don’t understand why everything to help you progress past the first real job to stay alive longer or move up financially in any way, is literally beyond unrealistically priced I mean if you had $100K then you most likely wouldn’t need the things that cost rhat much to help you stay alive or progress in the game. And I think it’s absurd that there’s no way to make payments towards school or housing or anything beyond student loans and mortgage which gives you the full debt instantly and instantly starts to take your life expectancy down 7 days per day that you have that debt..Version: 1.0.45

I never usually leave a review, but…This games feels it better 3 or 2 years ago because some of the reviews feel like their describing a different game. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad game. It’s just when I played it. It just felt like it was try to make me buy the $2 pack to continue with progress and have 2 extra years of life with $25,000. Every time I start to take damage to my life it would appear with the button to buy it right under my finger. It happened so often that it was annoying. Also, in the beginning when your starting with nothing their is a lot traps to make you fail. Literally the best money making method is just begging; but after you get past the beginning and get a job good luck because taxes don’t stop getting higher until you die. If you want to get far in the game without wasting your time then you have to look up a guide to even get to the end game. As one the reviews said if you’re looking for a game that plays like this and is easier to understand than go play bit life but to give the dev some credit it’s totally accurate to social economical experience of homeless and poor people right now..Version: 1.0.49

Missing packageI bought the be successful package ($5.99) and I haven’t received it !?? Implement a Restore purchase button in this app.Version: 1.0.38

Game overWhy the game is over while my life is having a nice day?.Version: 1.0.34

TaxmanI was doing so well until this taxman came along and took all my money and now I’m 10k In debt and I’m constantly being harassed with purchase options. I can’t get anywhere with this game..Version: 1.0.35

Would give a better rating if real estate workedI enjoy the premise of the game and working for promotions to engage in investing and such. But the real estate system is broken. I bought an apartment for $160k then I have a mortgage if $250k? It makes no sense and before I know it I’m in debt and dying. Probably won’t play unless things like this get fixed..Version: 1.0.42

FrustratingThis game is confusing and frustrating I can’t understand anything about it, how to buy, sell, the negatives and positives it just doesn’t make sense.Version: 1.0.48

OpinionGame is alright but complicate but watch out for ingame purchase sometime you dont get what you bought.Version: 1.0.45

Pay to winDefinitely a pay to win game. Unless you are prepared to spend real money on this game, you can’t survive much longer than a few days.Version: 1.0.47

HoboIt is a bit confusing. Apart from that very good.Version: 1.0.43

DeathThis game needs to add warnings for actions that will take more days than the life expectancy as I accidentally click on certain prompts, same thing also needs to be done for negative money.Version: 1.0.47

A few bugs that ruin it for me.I like the game overall, and I think it’s really fun! But it’s really hard to gain more wealth overall because of a bug I encountered. I bought a house when the market was lower and used a mortgage to buy it. As the market was going up I paid off some of the mortgage so that when I sold it I could make a good profit. I then sold the house for 20k over what I bought it for after accounting for the fees. I didn’t get any of the money and still owe what was left on the mortgage. So now I’m out all the money I invested and owe 60k on a mortgage for a house I sold for 191k. I don’t know what happened but I’m not sure how to proceed if every time I sell a house I get none of the money?.Version: 1.0.47

Don’t waste your timeNot too sure why it’s rated so highly, the game sucks. You can’t even make it past age 20. Even after spending money on the game I still would die right away.Version: 1.0.49

False advertisingI got offered a starter pack for $1.99 but was charged $2.79 not happy.Version: 1.0.48

Needs more explanationIt’s a really fun game but they need to explain it more to you since you just get put in a game and no idea how to play it.Version: 1.0.47

MehThere’s some promise to this game but loads of things that could be done better. Like: auto tap if you hold down a button (saves you pressing the same thing 100s of times), label things better - it took me a while to figure out the bottle meant stock, make the error messages clickable - rather than just say ‘PHONE AND BUS PASS REQUIRED’ let me click on those sections and taken to the buy a phone button. There’s too many other issues like that would make the game so much better..Version: 1.0.35

Fun but buggedConcept is good and fun. I like the simplicity of it however there’s a few bugs that kinda ruins the games such as selling at the market figures don’t add up. Selling properties and businesses; numbers don’t add up too. Which are crucial to this game..Version: 1.0.40

Fun gameThis is a fun game but very unpractical, I will be completely healthy and playing well then all of a sudden I die because of a massive tax bill that puts me in overdraft.. doesn’t make sense.. it then asks me to pay money to revive....Version: 1.0.45

Have no clue what to do.Not a clue how to even start playing. Do you just beg and look through dumpsters hoping to find something? Every time I beg, I make money but have less money than I did before. Doesn’t make any sense..Version: 1.0.47

Businesses BugWhen I buy a business it doesn’t give any profit. It just adds expenses..Version: 1.0.44

Didn’t get my coins that I boughtThe game is pretty good overall and it is very fun but there is just one issue I ran into. I bought 25k coins on the store and I haven’t received them yet so it kinda has just taken my money. Thank you in advance to any devs that help. :).Version: 1.0.47

Need help.I bought cash but it didnt show up. I dont know where to find the restore option in the game..Version: 1.0.27

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!Extremely bad game. retried about 20 times in the past 2 hours because the game keeps sending me into debt. Why task me with doing things to increase my income, when ur going to increase my outgoings in the process????.Version: 1.0.49

Developer running gambling scamSo here’s how the game works. To stay alive it costs a certain amount per day. At the beginning you beg for money and hope each time you hit beg it gives you more than what it costs to keep you alive. The game decides how much you get every time you beg so once you start seeing profit it starts giving you debt. But luckily the developers are willing to basically fix this “luck” based variable. Just pay $3.99. But don’t get use to playing for too long because the game will randomly say you died. Without you even clicking anything. They take your money and run. I already reported it to apple I recommend others do the same. It’s a gambling simulator, HIGHLY ILLEGAL. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GAME IS MARKED FOR CHILDREN..Version: 1.0.47

Sorry but...This game is mind numbingly boring! After about 4 hours playing, you have to tap the “Dumpster Dive” button about 100 times to gather items to sell in the market. Do that maybe 30 times per hour. If that thrills you, you will love this game!.Version: 1.0.42

Fun but has issues100% chance of raise, doesn’t get a raise? Makes no sense. 87% chance of promotion, no promotion. K. On top of the amount of times I had to restart because I messed something up because the instructions don’t actually teach you how to do things. There’s so much trial and error and for a game where you literally just touch a button over and over it’s annoying to have to restart because they didn’t explain it well. Other than that it is fun. I’m still playing. But it’s annoying..Version: 1.0.48

TerribleI don’t normally leave reviews, but this game was so bad I had to. I don’t know what the other 5 star reviews are talking about. I played for over 2 hours. And basically got nowhere. I probably tapped many many thousands and thousands of times. You start from nothing. You make barely any money. After a few thousand taps you can start tapping for a different job. After thousands of more taps you can get a better job. Then you’ll have to tap for hours if you want to go to college. Or get a loan. I had just done that. And I accidentally tapped one thing. That fast forwarded 2 years. Taking away all my money due to expenses. Since I was in debt, the life expectancy starts going down. No way to stop it. So I inevitably died. Same thing can happen when it randomly takes all your money and claims it’s “taxes”. So only play this game if you want to entirely throw away 3 hours of your day. And get extremely annoyed. And cause carpal tunnel.Version: 1.0.47

Great games but where is my actual money???I bought a 10,000 package and never received it.Version: 1.0.36

Great concept, okay execution.Making a mistake early on is unforgiving, like purchasing a bus pass that will cost you $5 per day too early, same goes for meals and housing options. The problem is that they cannot be UNDONE. Once you purchase something that costs you ___ per day, you are stuck with it. I find this to be very off-putting. You should be able to cancel some purchases that you would be able to in real life. But hey, it’s a game and those are the rules I guess. Another problem I had was accidentally applying to a job instead of working at my current job my little hobo worked so hard to get to. I became a resident, working my way to becoming a fully fledged doctor, when all of a sudden I accidentally fat fingered the button to apply to become a researcher or something. This reset all of my promotion and raise progress. That was the final straw for me. Just frustrating and tedious. Those are my two issues with the game. You have to spam the “+” button next to your current job to earn, but it’s surrounded by the other job’s “+” buttons, which make it easy to accidentally apply to those instead of work your current one. This, to me, is game breaking and not hard to have foreseen. Be careful, folks! On a positive note, the game is very addicting and fun. My first millionaire was a real estate agent who was REALLY good at their job in the end, and owned many properties. Thank you for the good time, devs. Hope this review helps!.Version: 1.0.48

So much potentialIt doesn’t work on my iPhone 7 screen! Writing goes off the edge. I emailed the dev but they still haven’t fixed this. Please do! Gutting, because it looks like a great game..Version: 1.0.34

Great in concept, less so in executionI love tycoon games, and this one wasn’t bad, but I feel like it’s missing some key components. Mainly, a lot of information is missing. Most critically, you can’t see information about money coming out of your account daily, and there is no guide about what is needed for what. For instance, I spent all of my time trying to get my GED so I could get a job, only to find out you need a phone for that. Okay, easy enough, let’s buy a phone. Oh, except that requires a drivers license. But to get that, you need a bus pass. Now my plan is locked behind several other things and cost more money that I didn’t plan for. Lastly, this could be forgiven if you could restart, but you can’t. The first time I got put in a bad position I just ran the time out until I died. The second time I quit..Version: 1.0.47

Game bugged or somethingOn my 2nd life I maxed one of the jobs to “Partners” (1st time I maxed out a job and the income from that job, something like $1007.7/day) and then I can’t promote anymore so I reseted the level and started my third life, so I tried to go for “resident” job but only after a few raises and 2 promotions. It stops. No more raises or promotions. The bar still loads but when it reaches the end it just reseted, no promotions... Also, the 2 promotions I got is actually occurs when the raises bar is full, not the promotion bar. I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but I hope it get fixed soon so I can enjoy the game further. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.41

Don’t bother downloading. It’s pay to do anything.It’s pay to play, pay to win there aren’t any ads because they bomb you with in game notices to buy their bundles with real money so you can ACTUALLY Get ahead in the game. You could have 4grand saved up and lots of life expectancy left with little cash outflow and then BAM 6000$ gets debited to your account for no reason and then you die even if your life expectancy is 32 and your age is only 24 and you’ve bought the Balanced Diet meal option and you’ve got a room rented for yourself. They make it so you can’t advance organically by just playing the game smart, they’ve made it quite literally impossible so you’re forced to buy in game currency or just delete the game entirely. I’m deleting it. Also they DELETE bad reviews..Version: 1.0.48

Zero Stars👎👎One of, if not the worst game i’ve ever played. Don’t recommend to anyone. I really enjoy the look and idea behind the game, but it was executed so poorly. Wasted a few dollars trying to somewhat enjoy the game and have a chance at success (after about 15 attempts of getting no where), but ended up dying about 5 minutes later. Wish i could get a refund. Not user friendly at all, and overly complicated. I have never struggled with an app as much as i have with this one, and reading through the reviews it’s nice to see people feel the same. The game has a lot of potential, but it just ended up being completely frustrating and unnecessarily hard. Extremely unsatisfied and wouldn’t recommend downloading unless you want to spend your own money to succeed. Save your time, money, and sanity and don’t download...very disappointed..Version: 1.0.35

An hour of my life I will never get back.Honestly don’t download this game, it’s like drowning. You try and stay afloat but death is inevitable. I tried and tried for a positive outcome but it didn’t come. There’s no reason to anything, it’s like an arcade claw machine. Rigged to fail. It’a a shame because the idea is good though the layout could be better (options are all jumbled up with no order). Deleted it now, no point if it doesn’t let you progress..Version: 1.0.34

HelpWhere do I ask to for a promotion it is not clear and should add other pathways to get rich such as sports..Version: 1.0.37

Used to be good but now boring asUsed to be a good game but it’s boring now you guys need to add more stuff like criminal pathways or more things you can do with your business.Version: 1.0.43

In app purchase was very unclearI bought the in app purchase “zero out expenses “ thinking it meant that I wouldn’t have expenses ever again but I was wrong I also thought it was a one time purchase and bought it twice in a row Is there any way that I could get a refund.Version: 1.0.25

Has potentialHave tried and failed multiple times, but it’s just to darn difficult to get going! The time you’ve got to build any money up is to short, your dead before you’ve even done anything! 😭.Version: 1.0.45

Forced pathThis game has a nice UI and could be a great game. However, I was very put-off by the apparent forced path that you must take. To become a fast food worker, you need a GED. Ok, cool, got that. Oh wait, you need a phone too. Ok, no big deal. Oh wait, to get a phone you need a drivers license? Kinda weird but that’s no problem. Oh, I need a bus pass to unlock the drivers license? That doesn’t make sense but I guess I can do that. Oh, I need to unlock graffiti to get a bus pass? And a bike to get graffiti? And a guitar to get the bike? It just doesn’t make any sense to me, and the only reason it seems to be there is to make the game more monotonous and force you to spend more money on things even if you don’t want to use them at all. Hopefully the dev removes these restrictions so that you can actually make meaningful choices from the beginning without grinding through meaningless items..Version: 1.0.28

Games really faultyPlayed this game several times and I enjoy it but one thing that really annoyed me is the unexpected amount of money that gets deducted from your account on the game and it doesn’t tell you why or if it’s tax.Version: 1.0.49
