HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (7.1 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ I lost over 2 years of gameplay after installing an update.
★★★★★ In the most recent update to Tap Tap Builder my app completely crashed.
★★★★★ I've played almost daily for quite a while and have really enjoyed the game but the latest update changed the way you recover energy.
Price and subscription20%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Every night your money disappears for no reason, sent in multiple bug reports for it with no fix, would give 5 stars if it would be fixed
★★★★★ Please give me some answers and fix this I am very upset and mad I didn't spend money just to have it go to waste I work hard for my money....
★★★★★ So I've just joined in the game and started building what I could to improve my city, but I ran out of metal and I can't get anymore, the only way to get more is by building a metal plant (which I don't have enough…
Too many ads20%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Im nit even joking i started playing and immediately got and ad that covered 1/3 of the screen. How is this playable.
★★★★★ I know you guys need to make money, but ads should stay at the cinema.
★★★★★ Like video ads that pop up out of nowhere, interrupting what you're doing and then restarting the game- sometimes resetting progress on what you were doing?
Lost data, sync, backup14%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I am very upset right now I just spent $30 of my own cash in this game buying 49 red keys for $19.99 and the Management Certificate for $9.99 and I log back in today and it's all gone I have nothing and I'm tying to…
★★★★★ I lost over 2 years of gameplay after installing an update.
★★★★★ It doesn't matter the device I'm using, it's gone.
Bugs, things not working9%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Every night your money disappears for no reason, sent in multiple bug reports for it with no fix, would give 5 stars if it would be fixed
★★★★★ The bug continues this non stop, even after a full phone restart.
★★★★★ I lost hundreds of levels and days of game play and now the game constant reads error occurred, but I can't send a crash report because it won't let me anymore.
Limits, credits, locked features7%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ until you realize it's limited per 4 hours.
★★★★★ Now it takes several times more credits to build things )like four or five).
★★★★★ The only purpose it serves is to limit how much and how often you can play a game.
Slow, laggy, battery7%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game is fun as a concept but while playing it was executed poorly, everything costs too much and the gameplay is just boring and slow, everything costs energy and the energy takes hours to refill,
★★★★★ They decided to slow your progression in the game to an absolute tedious, laborious, snail's-pace crawl.
No customer support7%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I played the game for 3 days. I got stuck trying to figure out how to upgrade buildings. I messaged developers the response said it would be 3 days for a response, seven days later I am deleting the app.
★★★★★ This came after one of them told me that if I sent them a screenshot of my purchase that they could at least generate a code to replace the Ruby Keys and Management Certificate, now they are insisting I contact Apple…
★★★★★ So I ordered an item through the sale got charged the full price and when I went to email support it doesn't work.

2 things (Edited)

1. So, i was thinking you know how people only live in apartment buildings, i was thinking about great game changes for T.T.B. then i had an idea for a new building in main, a “lot” it is a lot for sale that a family can live. After 2 - 5 days after the building being built, a random house design & size will be on the plot. Design: There will be a “Normal Design” section (5 Normal house designs) and a “Special Design” section (5 Cool house designs) If you want to edit the house design to a normal house design it’ll cost 25,000 In-game dollars, if you want to change the house design to a special design it costs 1 golden key. Size: There are 6 options: Option 1: Tiny, costs 25,000 In-game dollars. Option 2: Small, costs 50,000 In-game dollars. Option 3: Normal, costs 100,000 In-game dollars. Option 4: Medium, costs 150,000 In-game dollars. Option 5: Large, costs 200,000 In-game dollars. Option 6: Extremely Large, costs 250,000 In-game dollars. Please read this/ make it the next update, it took over 2 & a half hours! 2. So, I’m i have 10/31 achievements completed according to the “Obelisk of Victory” building, BUT! My Game Center account says that i have ZERO of 25 achievements accomplished, !!!NOTICE!!! The App Store says that T.T.B. Is compatible to Game Center, even though it doesn’t link the achievements you accomplished from T.T.B. to Game Center, pls fix! Please RE-read
