Monetization is heavily criticized for excessive, lengthy, and often forced ads that disrupt gameplay, cause frequent crashes, and sometimes fail to grant rewards, leading to player frustration. Many feel the game pushes players towards in-app purchases or tedious ad-watching to progress, diminishing the overall enjoyment despite some acknowledging ads are necessary for free play. Technical issues with ads and a lack of a paid ad-free option contribute significantly to negative feedback.
- “No ads in gameplay unless you watch them to get upgrades.”
- “No ads, it's a very good app.”
- “Little to no ads.”
- “Game was fun for a little while but you have to watch ads to do almost anything or else you result in a loss, and once you get to the higher levels, the AI players will rack up the price on every single bid you do making you lose great amounts of money unless you buy gems to boost profit or you'll run out of money.”
- “The game is great but the ads are killing the game; it makes me want to stop playing every time another ad is forcefully played. There is no option to remove ads or make it a paid option. I like the game but there are far too many ads.”
- “Too many ads and the ads are very long; the ads just ruined the fun of the game, too much ads and the ads are very long.”

The game suffers from frequent stability issues, with numerous reports of freezing during loading, ads, and auctions, often forcing players to restart and resulting in lost progress or rewards. Updates have not addressed these persistent bugs, significantly impacting the overall gameplay experience and player satisfaction.
- “After update, ads for rewards glitch out, don't give rewards, and force you to restart the app before ad videos will work again.”
- “Every video to get extra items or to progress glitches you out of the game, forcing a restart and causing loss of bids and sales.”
- “On multiple occasions, watching ads to receive bidder boosts and calculators causes the ad to freeze, requiring a game reboot and resulting in loss of 5 to 15 entry cost and waiting for the entry timer to reset.”

User opinions on the game's graphics are mixed, with many criticizing the recent update for degrading visual quality to an overly simplistic, 8-bit style, which some feel diminishes gameplay clarity and enjoyment. While some praise the art style as beautiful and fitting for a phone game, others express a preference for the more polished and realistic graphics seen in previous versions, particularly Bid Wars 2. Overall, there is a call for improved, clearer, and more detailed graphics to enhance the gaming experience.
- “It's a pretty sound game, good graphics, controls and easy to understand the overall gameplay.”
- “So realistic, fun, and amazing graphics.”
- “Really like the game, way better than the other fun game and great graphics.”
- “The most important thing to be able to see, the items and their value was shrunk and made into 8-bit graphic.”
- “Seems like they have gone backwards with the graphics.”
- “Was hoping for more realistic looking graphics to bring the real life feel.”

- “It's a pretty sound game with good graphics, controls, and easy-to-understand overall gameplay.”
- “Addictive game with smooth and fun gameplay!”
- “Very scummy practices on show here, as with most mobile games, the actual gameplay is nothing like the tutorial/introduction and everything is pay to win or you have to wait so much time for such little reward.”

- “The new gameplay/format is atrocious.”

The story is noted for its clear progression and engaging shop management concept, but players frequently encounter frustrating bugs that block mission advancement, such as non-functional ads and unregistered auction visits. Additionally, the narrative feels restrictive with limited freedom and short mission content, leading to a lack of depth and replayability.
- “Amazing game, great storyline and concept.”
- “They not enough freedom in the storyline; a strategy game like this would be sick, tycoon with multiple outcomes.”
- “I enjoy being able to manage a shop and alter my own prices... this is just a story forced to do as you go game.”
- “Beyond that, a bug with a mission is blocking my progress.”
- “There is a mission asking me to get help from the collection finder. It seems that I have to watch an ad to activate it and pass the mission, but every time I try, I see a backward timer going up every second saying no ad available, so I'm stuck there.”
- “Game is broken, main quest asks you to own 4 cars in the mansion, this is impossible as most you can ever have is 3.”
grinding
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Grinding in the game is considered tedious and excessive, particularly when gathering gems for upgrades. Players also report frustrating accidental purchases due to lack of confirmation prompts, which adds to the negative experience. Overall, the repetitive nature and poor interface design make the grinding aspect unenjoyable.
- “This makes a lot of things tedious.”
- “Gameplay involves too much grinding; no one is willing to waste that much time.”
- “I was grinding to get gems for the best truck, but accidentally spent all my gems on something I didn't want without any confirmation prompt.”
optimization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in frequent lag, performance issues, and occasional hangs. Additionally, intrusive ads and unrealistic auction mechanics detract from the experience, and the questionable need for an internet connection further frustrates users. Overall, the game requires significant improvements for smoother, more stable gameplay.
- “Garbage... very laggy and not optimized properly, lots of bugs. Too many ads; 15% loss after auction, 25% profit after watching ads is annoying. The other bidders in auction are not realistic. There's no online multiplayer option where I can bid with actual players. If this option is not available, why does the game need internet?”
- “Good game, but graphics need more improvements. Sometimes the game lags a little bit and needs more optimization. Not smooth without touching sometimes building opening.”
- “The game hangs a lot, performance is very poor and needs to be more user friendly.”
