Pros and cons of Merchant app for iPhone and iPad

Merchant app good for

All missing features are included - love it - best location game ever. thanks for this release
Still a good game but it would be really cool if you guys made like a futuristic Merchant.. That would be awesome
This is a great game, but Im running into a glitch and cannot find any support. The website only allows for you to put in your email to receive updates.
Well, its a pretty good game, with a lot of potential. Played previous game for like three months, liked it a lot. Now I have found this version and its even cooler. The only issue is that not so many people play it, but its not that important. Keep working on it, and knowing people will get the idea and start playing it.
This is a really fun little game. Ive spent hours managing my settlements going about my day to day activities. However. The only draw back is I cant manage my settlements unless I am physically at their location. (Which is sometimes buggy if that location doesnt have wifi) This can be a huge pain when youre trying to have several land types in your yield. Im actually not that worried about the corruption levels, just the expanding of my settlements. So Im wondering how much of a stretch it would be to add a specialist that would fix this problem? It would be fine if you could load him down with supplies and send him off to build one thing at a time. Id even be alright paying real money for it. Thanks for your time.
As above. It had a bit of a learning curve, but was still a lot of fun. Then all of a sudden the production of all settlements stopped. None are disabled, and none produce any yields - states next yield is "anytime now" for past 3 days with NO production. Update: sent an Email to Oberon and issue was resolved within a week. They also sent a follow up email to ensure everything was working correctly. I am very impressed.

Some bad moments

Whats the problem ? Everything has been stuck for 3 days.... No more yields... Impossible to play like this... Something needs to be done quickly!
This is a novel take on an old theme. I really enjoyed it...until it broke down like an old car: part by part. 1. I havent had a yield in 3 days. It says for next yield in each of my settlements, "any minute now". Did I mention, FOR 3 DAYS? 2. Shortly after I started the game (2 wks. ago) I found that the game freezes if I relocate more than maybe 3 times. I have to delete the game and load again. After I do that maybe 3 times, I have to close the phone & open it again. Nope, not the phone. Its a relatively new iPhone 6+, with no other issues. 3. There are no resources for advice or help on these issues. My only recourse is this bad review. Need a forum. Please fix! Id love to give you a five.
After a while my settlements just didnt produce anything anymore. They would be stuck at next yield: any time. Also the gps is a bit wonky so you can lose your settlement fairly easy.
Please fix bugs they are all stated below in others reviews. Thx deleted game until then.
The settlements are stuck on production in the "anytime now" status.
Does not work for me. I get to the window to buy resources and it fails.
