Pros
Pro It is free
Not only is it free, it has no ads, only in-game purchases.
Pro It takes strategy and thought to do well
Pro The game continues on, even when you aren't playing.
If you have a good set up, but you still get bored or fed up, you can leave for an undetermined amount of time.
If you have set things up properly (not hard to do) you will find upon your return that your resources have increased tremendously, often reaching their capacities.
Pro All game info is stored on AstroNest servers
If your device is replaced, or you accidently delete the app, all of your game content is still there and active.
Pro It is not 'pay-to-win'
You can slightly increase the overall experience by spending money, but by no means is it required, even at the highest levels.
Cons
Con Can become a chore at times
Parts of the game can seem agonizingly tedious, but the pay off is usually good, if not great.
