Shipping Manager for Android
This game is good for people who like shipping lines business, but it is extremely super slow and not a complete shipping manager game, unable to view teu load begore depart. Play few month the point remain unchange, Cannot earn FOB point, too bad. The share return is too slow, ZERO POINT FOR THIS APP AND GAME
Love the game the inapp purchase costs are reasonable compared with other lesser quality game. Will contine to play for a long time. Update: Have continued playing really like the game, but it has more functionality when played via FB on a PC example fleet maintance can be done as a bulk via PC but only individually with the app. Please bring it in line with play via FB on PC. For now I have reduced my star rating to 4
I really like the concept of this game a lot. It's strategic, which I appreciate. But it's very buggy and the UI is not intuitive. One major problem that is a deal killer for me is that I can't check the market rates for routes anymore. It only worked the first time I made a route. Now it's no where to be found. It's worth noting that this app seems like a port from another platform. If they spent the time to make a legitimate android application, this would be great!
Only been playing for a week but already expanding my fleet and wanted to upgrade my fuel bunker but takes bonus points.. I have not found a way to earn them without buying them so a bit disappointed I can't get serton upgrades cause I need to pay.
This game has me hooked, and I cant stop playing it! I am constantly checking it to make some more money. The only thing I would like to see is to fix earning achievements. I have the requirements to get them, but it wont unlock and give me the required FOB points
Stock market needs a lot of Work. In real life you Can invest in your own stock, look at Apple; that option needs to be included. Also, as others have said, the ability to buy back stock from other investors Would be great! Especially since there are so many people who buy up stock before becoming inactive.
(1) FOB points are almost NEVER awarded. For ex, my cash reserves are at 600 mil, but I've yet to get points for reaching 50,100 and 500 mil. In all, I count 7 achievements that I should have by now but don't. (2) Maintaining a large fleet becomes impossible, unless you get Auto Fuel with your money, because you can't use FOB points if the game won't award them. (3) If you buy shares in the same company twice, sell the ones you already have first, otherwise your previous profits will evaporate.
In later game it becomes very monotonous to buy and build ships one at a time. I liked this game for the fact you could Play as little or as much as possible and this task forces you to a remedial task 20 to 30 times over. if you could multi buy ships and create multiple new routes I would give 5 stars without hesitation.
Started playing this game a long time ago. Working every day at it, was going well. Now all of a sudden the game doesn't load any of the screens and can't access anything. Please fix it. Will rate it 5 star if it does get fixed. Thanks
I really wish you could have a setting to speed up the time, although I understand the "real time" coordinating between players. Also, I invested in a company, then, it disappeared. If a player just quits, investments should be refunded. Again, I understand the "real world" implications behind this. Lastly, I think that you should have to approve whether someone can invest in your company. Pretty awesome game overall though.
It might seem like a weird game but it's nice if your just looking for something to do on your phone other then fb, I am a little confused about it still but learning. Would like a little like instruction guide and some notifications like when your ship arrived. I really enjoy the little details like on the route page how next to the name there's a little oil barrel you click it and fill the boat up and it goes from gray to black
Takes a long time to load from one tab to another. Also, bought some ingame points and they didn't show in my account, tried contacting support to fix it and I've had no response at all. Very poor considering the cost of the ingame points.
Game is great except for the fact that your supposed to get "fob" points for accomplishments but you actually don't. I can count at least 5 right now I should have gotten credit for but I haven't yet. But it's happy to take your real money to buy them
Really enjoying this game and still playing however, completing achievements doesn't earn me my FOB points. I have posted in the error reporting and still no response from dev. I would even look at buying the points but if the game wont give me them when I've earned them, whats to say the developers aren't just going to take my money and run? Please fix this for 5 stars. Its a great game but don't expect to get any FOB points for achievements to unlock bonus items!
The game as a whole is well thought out and a lot of fun. However, the developer has put a feedback and error board within the game and they do not appear to be correcting the problems. The main problem being with the FOB points not being distributed and the achievements not registering. There are numerous post within the outboard and I have yet to see a response from the developer. If the developer correct these problems then I'll rate 5 out of 5.
I love the game but I have a feeling that you will do just fine until you reach a certain level. The app gets harder (takes longer to fuel vessels when you have loads of them) and you shouldn't charge for the fuel capacity upgrade because the 900million self-made vessels charge 14k fuel. Please fix this in someway.. I get that you need to make money but the game gets boring when you have played abt. 1 year... I will gladly upgrade this to a 5 star when you do something about it! Thanks!
Increasing your share capital does not increase cash in hand. The stock exchange needs improvement. Players selling shares should have a negative impact and vice versa. Vessels should be able to call multiple ports, specially oil tankers. Introduction of chemical, LNG tankers could breath new life into the game. Mobile version should have all features of Facebook version.
Not getting the FOB points in the app for achievements is nit good not one reply from the developer yet several people have posted on their forum about the issue. Needs better functionality with regards to freight carried as it shows as a %age rather than tonnes available to ship. Could be a 5* game but I'm being generous giving 3 just now due to the issues and need for further development
Slow at first but fun as you progress. Does need more interaction with the stock side of it. Other than making money from investing, there is no real reason to get others to invest in your company. Also, fob points are hard to come by. Give more for rewards on each achievement. Fix those things and i will give 5 stars.
Need a way to get more stuff ..( FOB.points) without paying for it. i really like the game I would even watch an ad or a game ad but really don't want to buy anything maybe if it made me money in real life I would lol o ya an don't make game ads to two long time is money @$@ you can do it

It should be a little more indepth with regard to what you are transporting. ie a list of possible orders that you can choose from to deliver to various places in the world for various contract payments. Also its a long time to wait until you can set off again. Have you thought about doing this as an off line game? Build your own shipping empire! Would pay for right game.
You start off with a ship. Buy fuel. Set a route for the ship. It consumes fuel and generates revenue. Takes time for it to reach its destination, and you gotta wait till it does. Generate enough revenue to buy another ship and put it in service. Repeat the same steps and manage multiple ships. Keep progressing till you reach no 1 shipping operator in the world.
This would take the game to a whole other level if your company share value was based on how much your company is worth. If I have 8 million invested in other companies but no shipping vessels then my stock or shares diminish, no matter how good the companies I invest in are doing. I would ask that this get fixed.
i give 4 bc its kinda stupid u have to use Facebook or the other thing.u should let us be alout to us google accouts to save stuff. i think its a awesome good learning experience of a major business man or girl. keep up with is app u will like it.when i see that u can use a Google account i will give 5 stars bc i think it should be a 5 stars
Kind of a play and forget game. Would like more if the time frames for shipments were more expedient. Should be more tutorial assistance in beginning. Stock is pretty pointless to be honest. Updated: There are several bugs, especially with the achievements, it doesn't work. They refuse to update for android, only updating Facebook application. Will consider a higher rating if bugs are fixed.
-Once I have send an ship on its route I can not see its general travel time. Yes, I do see the remaining time it needs to travel but I will not see any information about the general in-game time nor real-life time this route takes. Same happens during the attempt to reroute a ship. There won't be any indication how long the new route is going to take in-game nor real-life. Both would be helpful. -Also would it be great if I could mark certain ships I want to be notified when they arrive.
The game is good, the idea is good, the delivery is lacking. When someone is paying $800,000 for shares in your company why do you not get that money? It's not really an investment otherwise. The Facebook game has been updated with different features yet android lacks behind. The developers seem to have forgotten about the Android version and abandoned it.

This game deserves a sequel. I'd say focus on a more lucrative stock market to help earn money. Right now the game also feels scripted,eachh company is nearly the same. I think another layer or two of complexity and its golden

Love this game, just started playing a couple weeks ago! Slow progress but now the game shows a white screen when I pull it up! If anyone knows the problem let me know or if you can fix that! I want to get back to making that money! Thanks
Fun game, but would be nice if I could buyout other companies. Bought-out companies could use that money to restart another company and I could use their previous assets. Also, if after 3 days or so of making a buyout offer and I get no response, I should get 1/2 their assets for a fraction of my offer (foreclosure type thing)
Game is great for simulator style players. More of a manage from the desk game than a things to do game.. most realistic I've played yet! Love it! Things to improve on would be rate of earning FOB points and inactive players holding your stocks.
Game is not bad but could be great! Also I purchased some FOB Points to get a jump start and they went missing? Come back points I miss u er paid for you, that's it
I recently made a purchase for FOB points and in-game money. The points have been added but the funds have not, even though the payment went through. Will not rate 5 stars until this has been sorted.
A Shipping Corporation simulator. I would have given this 5 stars but there are a few aspects of the simulator that could evolve. To be fair, I'm still in the very early stages of the game, so these features may show up, or evolve as the player levels. I would have preferred to play longer before rating, to be as fair and informed as possible when giving my assessment.
Have the Dev's abandoned this game? My FOB points I've earned don't show up. My completed challenges don't show. I spent real money first week I played but it's been months now and no improvement so I won't put any more money in until things improve. And if they don't soon I'm deleting. Great concept. Terrible support. Using a Note3.

It's a good game. A little more explanation in the FAQ'S would be nice. Also can't seem to figure out how to make money faster. It seems I started and did one route short. Which pays next to nothing. One medium not bad but will take 24 1.5hr trips to pay off the purchase of the boat. And one long one that I haven't seen the income of yet. So in short i will be sitting a while before i can build more on my fleet. Which is kinda boaring. All in all a good game but definitely needs some more work.
