used to be a great game. picked up my new ipad to play it again, but seems like the game was never updated for new ios

Loved it!

I loved this game so much! Please put out another game like this soon.

Great game.

Great game. I wish they would come out with another expansion pack or update each city with another couple More starting scenarios, adding to the 3 per city they have now. I played this game. After a while deleted everything and played it again. I want more.

California residents A Rare Find! Absolutely great game free!!

This game is amazing!! Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this game to the public! Not only fun but so educational about the history of California! I highly recommend this to everyone and any age over 8 up to 75. Thank you again!

A real gem!

To me, this game has got a lot of charm. Also, I support these kinds of games where the only "in app purchase" is an expansion pack. Way to go SomaSim!
