HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (372 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.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes45%

61 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The big one being that it keeps crashing, before loading all of the way.
★★★★★ Also once you get a little ways past the town it starts crashing EVERY TIME you try to open the app.
★★★★★ I was shocked to find the game keeps crashing this time around in my playthrough.
Bugs, things not working38%

51 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Over the past year, there have not been any updates, and there are many bugs.
★★★★★ This is a fun little game, but has too many bugs.
★★★★★ Loved it till it kept closing on me and wouldn't reopen.
Lost data, sync, backup26%

35 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Lost pregress almost all the time😩
★★★★★ Data lost on even day three.
★★★★★ The newest one is that it will not save your progress, and so the next time you log on, the game will have lost the progress he made previously.
Price and subscription14%

19 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ In love with the game and definitely spent money now the app won't open.
★★★★★ It took me a couple hours to get to the town then I didn't have enough money to buy a piece of property then I left the town to go earn more money instead of having to pay for it and I couldn't get back to the town it…
★★★★★ i'm just glad i didn't drop any money on this game, and while i love playing, it's scummy to allow someone losing both items and the currency they pay for/earn over time.
Worse after an update11%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I will download it, grind for a couple of months and then I stop because they haven't made a REAL update in like 8 years!!!
★★★★★ This game is so much fun, but it crashes a lot. Things gets stuck. Daily tasks get deleted whenever the game crashes. It's hard to stay motivated when things that you've I spent a lot of time on disappear.
★★★★★ I'm on the current iOS 26.2 update and have an iPhone 17 pro.
Missing features9%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You'll have absolutely no clothes left and no way to collect the correct ingredients to even create a simple bandanna.
★★★★★ I even backed up my iPad multiple times in an attempt to save my progress, but once it froze and restarted there was no way to go back to where I was.
★★★★★ No way to toggle manual save either.
No customer support7%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I wrote an email but no response.
★★★★★ Please continue to support this game.
★★★★★ I sent an e-mail to the company last month in an attempt to try to have my progress restored, but they never replied.
Too many ads4%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game often doesn't save and there's been multiple times where I have sat through ads to get a bonus and I don't get anything.
★★★★★ I will say this game is pretty good with ads only by choice but it does NOT SAVE.
★★★★★ They're making money off of ads and ignoring everyone who tries to get help.

terrible experience

Data lost on even day three. If you can not build a game running stably , then using some ai to improve your poor data storage!

Regreso

Regresé a jugarlo luego de 8 años y la verdad es que recordé muchas cosas y las 4 estrellas solo es porque no se juntan las cosas como antes

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026
Dead Game

I used to really enjoy playing this game. Over the past year, there have not been any updates, and there are many bugs. The newest one is that it will not save your progress, and so the next time you log on, the game will have lost the progress he made previously. This has become a dead game on the App Store and should be removed.
