HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (8.0 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.

Price and subscription28%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Let it be known, though, that I never spent any real money on the game.
★★★★★ Any messages sent also go unanswered so I suppose they have a money generator with no further input from themselves.
★★★★★ Also woke me up to what a money pit it is.
No customer support28%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Been playing for years. All other internet connections work except this one. Very frustrating !
★★★★★ Game keeps reverting and you lose everything you do. Tried tech support but was told there is none for this game. Have no option but to delete game as it's unplayable.
★★★★★ This game was good when I first started playing it but like every other review I read I am giving it only one star due to the glitches that the developers are refusing to fix.
Worse after an update20%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This used to be my favorite game, but it's gone downhill over the years.
★★★★★ Game keeps reverting and you lose everything you do.
★★★★★ I used to enjoy this game but during critical times when trying to win prizes it stops allowing internet access right at the end so you've wasted 11 days of nonstop play and lose because of their bug.
Slow, laggy, battery11%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Good game but incredibly slow moving unless you are willing to pay real cash.
★★★★★ This game is designed to be addictive and so infuriatingly slow to play that you are constantly tempted to pay for city credits.
★★★★★ Coins they give are minute and takes forever to build them up.
Crashes and freezes9%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When I try to open my game, after the most recent IOS update, I see the big business logo, then get a black screen.
★★★★★ Game can be awful unstable at times, crashing at the worst times.
★★★★★ I waited over 2 months to get a crash fixed and could not play that whole time.
Limits, credits, locked features8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Designers made an excellent job of designing a game that hooks you into buying city credits to advance the game.
★★★★★ You get a bonus reward if you finish under a set time limit and I wait to be sure I could do everything in time.
★★★★★ Be careful because poorly designed game interfaces will steal the city credits that you purchase.

★★★★★Aug 12, 2024
Good game

This game has enough to keep you wanting to play more. It takes time to get enough game money to do things so you have to check back often but it gives more challenge that way! It has become my top favorite game! Its only problem is the developer don’t really support it any more.

★★★★★Oct 29, 2023
Impossible

Good game but incredibly slow moving unless you are willing to pay real cash. Completing tasks to get the additional prize is impossible, even if you collect items before hand. It is purposely designed for you to spend real cash. It’s a shame 😕
