Cons
Con UI isn't as intuitive as it could be
Tutorial helps, but some things (like happiness) are left mysterious.
Con Touch controls feel awkward to use
The touch controls use an on screen dpad overlaid on top of the game. This means fingers move cover some of the game field or action when trying to maneuver.
Con Poor port on Android
There is no immersive mode, which would allow this to be fullscreen on devices that have the Android navigation bar. On top of this the game is letterboxed on both sides of the screen do to it being a port of the port for iOS. There is also no other Android specific features to speak of in the game either.
