I bought this because I liked the original cashflow games but this app is a big disappointment. Yes I had some crashing too but unfortunately playing it was just as boring as watching it stall. And it is a battery drain.
Cookie cutter profile building and the moving around the board animation fill up the playtime. The real decision points are way too easy. You are given generic star ranking of cash flow vs cost which is totally stupid and then asked to make investment choice that are basically buy or dont by based on positive cash flow. The app does all the math so there is no learning. You can do a bit of evaluation on percentages of debt of one property vs another theoretically to be more effective but it really doesnt effect game play. They took the original cashflow game, bogged it down in nonsense animation added a pointless game engine and gutted the learning aspect.
I really like the original cashflow games. You can learn something and are given an excuse to do simple business math while playing a fast moving game that has enough luck involved to creat so me variation and demand smart deals to win. You graduate from it though and so the cashflow series are not games you can play forever. I wish this app was the next step.
