★★★★★ This game used to be fun to play. Now it's absolutely horrible. Don't waste your time with this game anymore. So many glitches and freezes. And they don't care about it. Complained numerous times. Is the anything…
★★★★★ Freezes up, too many different kinds of currencies, each update it gets worse because they are using AI to write the software.
★★★★★ I was enjoying the game I've been playing for quite a few years until your latest update which downgraded the services and utilities in the cities and emptied my stash of game currency in the process.
27 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Was great, now not so fun. Customer service is AI, so you don't get help or answers.
★★★★★ Been playing for many years. You have overused you programmers on graphics. Cut back on animation so that the gameplay is smoother.
★★★★★ It is also the only app I've downloaded that constantly lags.

★★★★★ I dispatched trains for an assignment and didn't get credit.
★★★★★ Not happy with how hard it is to achieve the contest coins to update new pieces…nor how hard it is to provide services…or how hard it is to play in the contest….I've played for 10 years and recently it has been more…
★★★★★ Starts slow and free, but a few days in you realize you either have to pay for speed ups, or you will be waiting for endless hours for resources to be available.

Wow this is the best game ever. The challenges are great. The game play is excellent. The more I play it the better I become at negativing through the game. Gives great piece of mind. At 67 yrs. Old at relaxing game like this is just like playing the Sims and just as good. Thanks your game is a 5 rating.
Only way is to uninstall and start at 0! Hard pass, was using it to teach my daughter about economics, supply chain and buying and selling techniques. Oh well, yes I have the latest update.
