The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and functionality of ads. While some appreciate the option to remove ads through a purchase, others report that the ad-free feature does not work as intended, and that ads often glitch or fail to provide rewards.

“I bought no ads, redownloaded it on a new phone using the same account, and now have ads again.”
“I tried rebuying no ads, but it says I already own no ads.”
“This game is playable and fun, but the ads are unbearable.”

“It's extremely hard to make money in this game, forcing you to watch ads or buy money.”

“It's fast and not buggy.”
“After playing it for 3 days, here is what I can say: it is a buggy unfinished mess.”

“With detailed graphics and engaging gameplay, players navigate the challenges of research, development, production, and marketing.”
“Yes, there are some bugs, but the gameplay and unlimited options are just amazing.”
“Just as the other games from Roastery Games, this game has the potential to be good, but is weighed down heavily by awful mechanics and an incredible amount of bugs preventing actual mechanics from working.”
“I have timed it and I get an ad roughly every 90 seconds; this is unplayable as it is, especially with the bugs in the core game mechanics.”
“The gameplay is ridiculous; you just sit there watching circles move around, waiting an eternity for your product to be developed, and then it ends up losing your entire company because it lacks features you never had the resources to research.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews. While some users report significant performance issues, particularly with CPU and application handling, others note improvements following updates that have enhanced stability and smoothness. There are also requests for additional features and better performance metrics to further enhance the optimization experience.
“Even the optimization of the game is quite good.”
“I would give it a 5, but I want more features. I would like to see how many watts of charging the phone has, how much time it will take to finish charging, and collaborations for the phone. I want more processors to choose from, like Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300, and information on whether those processors are made for all-around performance or gaming. Additionally, can you add options for budget phones or mid-range only?”
“Finally, for devices, you can use AnTuTu or benchmark to get performance points.”
“The game isn't optimized, though.”
“I got a 2 star out of 10 because the CPU performance was bad and it was slowing down when working with applications, but my processor is completely maxed out in all four categories, so I am completely confused.”
“I can make a great phone with a good CPU and then they'll just say it has bad performance or bad camera.”
