Lots of bugs NOT fixed

Although, I submitted bug reports after almost each version, the issues introduced two versions ago are still there. Honestly, If these glaring things, which were not there before, were not fixed, I don’t know what you actually did fix! Somebody wanted to redo the value of everything, fine. But you seem to have changed things haphazardly: “add police kiosk or volunteer fire station that say +6, when it still adds +4, as before. Same with main fire station and police station, before was + 6 now it says +8, yet still adds +6, as before. It just seems so sloppy. Somebody needs to review everything that was changed 2 versions ago, the value of things (which makes no sense anymore), as well as how much personnel they ad, to at least match what it says. You obviously don’t test these releases. Anyone who plays the game and played the game before can see these issues immediately.

Great game, BAD BUG

The game is really absolutely just great, but there’s this huge bug where the number of workers AND shoppers just keeps ‘see-sawing’ (being extremely volatile; going up to good then dropping to usually zero), which is a SUPERMASSIVE GRIPE. Please fix this ASAP; it’s ruining the game and, if ya don’t fix it, you might lose a valuable player (and others) and it might be BYE-BYE APPLE ARCADE for Cityscapes in time.

*UPDATE* Turns out all I had to do was force-quit the app. Please still double check programs so we don’t encounter any bugs again.

Decent City Simulator, but patronizing

I find the amount of “guidance” given is excessive and annoying to the point of patronizing.

Dean likes it

The first thing I thought was nice is that you can designed if you want to play the tutorial or not.also no adds and it is free.and there is so many different builds and different places you can go

Better than the Sim City version

I accidentally downloaded this thinking it was Sim City and I like this a lot more. There’s no wait time for resources or having to check in on the game every hour. You can play without wifi and it’s pretty easy. One thing I would change is being able to keep the colours the same when you add a clone building.

One thing I’d add is being able to zoom in more! Especially on iPhone, the buildings are so tiny on the screen. I like to look at all the map details zoomed in, too.

The game is pretty good, and easy to play.
Only issues are: it crashes, a lot, which disrupts the flow and reloading is slow; one building always needs water no matter how many water plants and towers are right next to it; and, most annoyingly, if it crashes just after placing a building you have bought or special one you’ve gained, you loose the building as the game reloads a little back from where you were and the bought/special building no longer appears in the list of buildings available!

Hate the tutorials

Please just let me play. Hate the whole “tap exactly here” forced tutorials. Whole game feels like a free to play game when it’s not.
