The whole game is free and contains ads. A one-time purchase removes them for good — no subscription. Gold, the currency for finishing things at once, can be bought whenever you want it or earned with records and videos.
The game runs in realtime: one game day passes every 8 minutes, also while the app is closed, so a game from 1901 to 6 May 1940 takes at most about 11½ weeks. While you play you can speed up with 1×–4×. When you come back, a summary shows what happened.
Cash (marks) is the money of your company in the game. Gold is your currency outside the game: it finishes research or a ship at once, repairs instantly, brings in capital or rescues a company from bankruptcy. You earn gold with records and videos or buy it.
Settings → Ads → Remove ads. It is a one-time purchase. On a new iPhone use Settings → Ads → Restore purchase with the same Apple ID.
Yes: Settings → Notifications. Important events, contracts running out, annual report, daily balance and reminders can each be switched on or off. There are never notifications at night.
On your iPhone — up to 10 games, newest first — and in your iCloud if it is switched on. There is no account.
Your company value (in constant prices, so every era compares fairly) is compared worldwide under a random game name, which you can change in Office → Leaderboard. Only the name, a random device id and your scores are sent. You can switch it off in Settings.
In the app: Settings → Ads → Ad privacy settings. Tracking permission can be changed in the iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
