### 1/5 — Game & Customer Service

*2026-08-20*

Don’t know what is going on with this game, but it has gotten BAD.  Does not even load anymore.

This new update site is horrible.  Changed my playing location to Puyallup  and I was always in and live in Tacoma. I want to be back with those players not Puyallup. 
Please change playing location back to the correct location and go back to your old game play as this updated one is horrible.

**Developer response:** Hi Joan, we’re sorry the recent update has been frustrating. You can find instructions for changing your location back to Tacoma here:

### 3/5 — Frustration

*2026-05-06, version 4.9.1*

Since last update the game freezes frequently and that’s if it even loads

### 1/5 — It’s Frozen

*2026-05-05, version 4.9.1*

Game is frozen and there is no option to reboot it and unfreeze it. No updates available either. Rebooting the phone hasn’t helped and the app cannot be 100% removed from my IPhone.

### 1/5 — Broken.

*2026-05-04, version 4.9.1*

I love this game. Played it for years. Then they made some changes and it hasn’t worked since. I keep trying to delete and reload but it’s always the same now. Just broken. Frozen half the time.

### 3/5 — Problems

*2026-05-03*

Been playing this game for years and the latest update may make me quit. First…the ads again! I know you have to make money but ads in the middle of a play is really bad. Second…I seem to get the circle of death the subsequent times I attempt to play in a day. In a nutshell let us opt out of ads and fix the loading screen issues. I’m willing to pay to not have ads. Already tried deleting and reloading.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-04-30, version 4.9.1*

It doesn’t work on my iPad.  It know it’s up to date,  but won’t let me connect to Facebook

### 1/5 — Game

*2026-04-29, version 4.9.1*

The game is freezing up I haft to delete it every time to get it to play correctly and the game is so slow
