The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Why is it in portrait screenmode for pc? There are 4 tabs that you use that are all in portrait - why not have them all dislayed side by side instead of having to click between them?? It's a direct port from mobile. At least the mouse…”
“Has a gamebreaking bug right now that seems to affect quite a few people. The problem has been unresolved for at least 4 months and until it's fixed I think this review should warn people about it.”
