This has been a great solution. I wish the green bucks were a touch more plentiful in game play. Also watching the video ads to get the fast forward functionality never seems to work. The ad never properly has an X to get out of it. I’m not sure when I’ve watched what I needed to watch to get fast forward. It just doesn’t seem to work. It would be nice to be able to rotate the city. And some things like disasters or seasons would be fun. I love the game. The sound track is great. Thanks for building this. ### 3/5 — Mid Game *2026-06-21, version 1.6.0* This game is fun at first but it becomes boring after. ### 4/5 — Luvv it. *2026-05-31* Great game to pass time !! Never get enough ### 2/5 — It’s great.. in the beginning *2026-05-12, version 1.6.0* Very well designed game that isn’t filled with ads and begging for microtransactions like a lot of others.. which is nice However, the game lacks any real strategy, depth, or customization that would make it worth investing more time into The buildings randomly generate and don’t face the logical way, each city is “different” but requires the same exact approach which gets old by the 4th run through ### 5/5 — Fun and not cluttered *2026-05-03, version 1.6.0* Fun to play and not riddled with ads like so many games are nowadays. Glad to have it ### 2/5 — Great start but *2026-05-01, version 1.6.0* I can’t get past level 8. My population 1.10 mil. Says needs 1.11 with no way to add more houses or cars. Everything been bought. Vehicles. Boats. Airplanes. No slots left for any building Sad. ************************ Update. Got past level 8 after prestige. But I get keys but what for ? And I finally got to a cool moon level but takes FOREVER to earn enough to build. Basically built so you have to spend real money. Guess time to prestige again and get more keys for who knows what. lol ### 4/5 — Surprisingly fun *2026-04-25, version 1.6.0* A simple yet entertaining game, only problem is the 2 minutes long ads. As there are no forced ads, I recommend this game heartily ### 5/5 — Needs a building rotation system. *2026-04-23, version 1.6.0* I really love the game, I have been addicted to it since I downloaded it. However, there needs to be a button than allows me to change the way a building a facing because sometimes the way a building is facing ruins the whole looks of my city and it really pisses me off. I would love for a system like this to be added quickly if possible or I might blow a fuse if another building I need faces the wrong direction after an hour of constantly building. ### 5/5 — It good *2026-04-01, version 1.6.0* It good me like ### 3/5 — Fine, extremely slow *2026-03-29, version 1.6.0* it’s a good game but once u get to the 6th city, you start progressing unbearably slow. i’ve prestiged 4 times now and it still takes me at least 2 weeks to get thru city 6. ### 5/5 — Add more levels!! *2026-03-26, version 1.6.0* Maybe a certain red planet….. ### 5/5 — Pretty fun! *2026-03-06, version 1.6.0* I love the bit life ### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing *2026-02-26, version 1.6.0* I have only played this for a week but it is fun and very relaxing. Cool building your city and trying to collect different cars and buildings. ### 5/5 — Very simple and peaceful *2026-02-26, version 1.6.0* No forced Ads unless you wanna earn some extra perks but they’re not really necessary. Great idle game to leave running in the background. My only complaint is not being able to rotate the building or choose them. I’ve gone through multiple cities now and I cannot spawn 1 more sky scraper for the life of me! I don’t mind the second part I just wanna rotate buildings to make it look nice ### 3/5 — Fun but buggy. *2026-02-15, version 1.6.0* I can’t load any reward ads. Please fix. Game is great otherwise. ### 5/5 — Sim city *2026-02-01, version 1.6.0* Great building game ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-01-23* Fun and simple ### 4/5 — This is what I call a really good game! *2026-01-22, version 1.6.0* This game is awesome. I love the buildings you can choose from. The cars, the cities, although, there is a con: it’s mainly just, waiting. Waiting to get enough money for buildings. But still, I like it! ### 5/5 — addicted to this game *2026-01-21, version 1.6.0* please add more levels! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2026-08-04, version 1.6.0* Just another cash grabbing game you can’t even get good buildings without spending all your Bux and the task a mad rigged ### 1/5 — Ads kill the fun *2025-12-06, version 1.5.0* The game itself is a nice low stress way to pass the time. The reason for the 1 star review is the ad experience, which is as miserable as any free to play game out there. The ads are frequently 2 minutes long and require several tricky button presses to advance or close. We understand the deal with these types of games, but please have more quality control with your ad partners. Will be deleting the game soon. ### 1/5 — Overheats Even on Mac! *2025-06-01, version 1.5.0* I enjoyed Bit City at first, but after 20+ days I noticed my iPhone overheating. I thought it was just the weather — until I tested it on my Mac and saw the game using over 180% CPU. This is unacceptable for a simple idle game. It’s not optimized and can damage devices. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Really bad… *2025-01-22, version 1.5.0* The single most boring game in the App Store. Press the same button a few times, game is over. That’s it. Very poorly executed… ### 1/5 — Fun, but glitching *2024-12-04, version 1.5.0* I enjoyed it, but the app kept having issues. I deleted and reinstalled and now everything thing is gone including the money I spent. Doesn’t save data so if you play don’t spend any money. Now that I have to restart and the money I spent is gone I wont play it anymore. ### 1/5 — have no chinese！！！ *2024-09-19, version 1.5.0* have no chinese！！！ ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2024-06-20, version 1.4.0* The game takes literally forever to progress. I have not played a game as torturously slow as this game. On top of that you cannot select what to upgrade or when not can you choose the rotation of your buildings. This leads to houses with driveways that do not lead anywhere. All around stupid game and I would recommend looking elsewhere if you’d like to scratch that city building itch. ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2024-03-18, version 1.3.7* Game keeps crashing to a blue screen ### 1/5 — This is bad *2023-11-22, version 1.3.7* I can’t even play this I don’t know how to play and it’s not fun you would think it’s cool by the images but it’s not. Very bad ### 1/5 — Star Tower *2023-10-10, version 1.3.7* WHY I CAN’T GET STAR TOWERS??? I constructed/changed 3 different [Large Business] 50 times each and still DIDNT FIND EVEN A SINGLE ONE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — N *2026-08-04, version 1.6.0* Nice game ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-27, version 1.6.0* Honestly love the art style the music the feel everything about this game is just fun and relaxing. It isn’t boring like so many other games. ### 5/5 — A+ *2026-07-19, version 1.6.0* I find this game very relaxing the more clicking & fast money flow the busier & content I feel! I hope a BIT city 2 is in the makes! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-19, version 1.6.0* Absolutely love this game, would greatly enjoy further content releases for it. I’d love to see more cities (maybe across the world) and the ability to color and rotate buildings. Animal friends would be a fantastic edition as well! ### 5/5 — gimme gimme gimme *2026-07-12, version 1.6.0* yea this game is awesome. really scratches me itch for me tick for me free time. yee yee *mic drop* ### 5/5 — Good Game *2026-06-13, version 1.6.0* Pretty good game, I wish there were more realistic industrial zones and better graphics. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-06-06, version 1.6.0* This city building game is awesome!! ### 5/5 — Perfect Idle for casual playing *2026-05-21, version 1.6.0* Im absolutely in love with this game, years ago I enjoyed tiny tower when I first saw it reviewed on G4 and now you guys came back with an even better game with beautiful graphics! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-16, version 1.6.0* Honestly very enjoyable casual game. I like playing my this game a lot. ### 5/5 — Great tycoon game *2026-05-12, version 1.6.0* It’s a great tycoon game that allows you to see your progress with ever reset!
