This does not come from chests, the spinning wheel,or by levelling up. After a full week I have not received any gold, and won’t, unless I purchase it using REAL money to buy fake gold to purchase fake buildings…. I won’t do it so I will do what I can until I just can’t progress any more and then delete it. Developers, do better. It would have been a 5 star game without this nonsense. ### 3/5 — Gold is purchase only *2026-05-31, version 1.10.1* I have been loving this game and playing daily but to build after a certain point, everything requires gold. This does not come from chests, the spinning wheel rarely gives (just) 1 or by levelling up. After a full week I have not received any gold, and won’t, unless I purchase it using REAL money to buy fake gold to purchase fake buildings…. I won’t do it so I will do what I can until I just can’t progress any more and then delete it. Developers, do better. It would have been a 5 star game without this nonsense. ### 3/5 — Build Together 5 *2026-01-26, version 1.8.0* Ok, once you get to go to other islands, you have fewer houses to buy, fewer business to get but costs are way to high. A lot of game is predicted or guided. ### 4/5 — Langzeitspaß mit Einschränkungen *2026-01-11, version 1.7.2* Super niedliches Spiel, macht Spaß und ist schön gemacht. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, da viele Gebäude nur mit Gold errichtet werden können und es sehr schwer ist daran zu kommen ohne Geld auszugeben. Gäbe es Gold häufiger im normalen Spielverlauf, wäre man auch eher gewillt mal ein paar Euro zu investieren. So ist das aber ein Fass ohne Boden. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2025-12-07, version 1.6.1* Quite addicted to this games, only gripe so far is the daily login rewards froze on day 6, it’s now day 13 😭😭 ### 3/5 — Grandir *2025-10-18, version 1.5.8* Dommage qu’il faut beaucoup d’or pour grandir J’ai toute m’a ville à 10 et maintenant je ne peux plus rien faire !! À part de mettre la carte bleue !! ### 4/5 — Expensive! *2025-10-08, version 1.5.8* I need to buy more houses but you need gold to buy them. So it’s expensive in real money. ### 4/5 — Build a city: Community Town *2025-09-23, version 1.5.8* Great game , the messages to kill others players fires and catch thieves , has STOPPED ,,Why???? ### 4/5 — เงินและทองที่สะสมไม่โชว์บนจอ *2025-09-08, version 1.5.8* เสียดายภาพสวย เพราะตัวเลขเงินและทองที่สะสม ไม่ขึ้นบนจอ ปรับปรุงด้วยค่ะ ### 2/5 — Great Mind *2025-09-07, version 1.5.8* 3D visual better angles sidewalks increase size as well enjoy playing the game though ### 2/5 — Property *2025-08-19, version 1.5.5* To many ads, ### 3/5 — Mini games *2025-08-11, version 1.5.5* I like playing the game but have not been able to play little games for a few weeks. Missing out of prizes. You offer them but then I can not get into them. ### 4/5 — Pales of water *2025-07-20* Please do away with putting out fires, let the fire company do their jobs let them put out fire we are too busy trying to build up city and others things in game ### 2/5 — Unable to log in *2025-07-17, version 1.5.5* Can’t log in ### 4/5 — Building time *2025-07-12, version 1.5.5* The game is great, but I’m discouraged by how long it takes to build things. I don’t even mind spending the money, but the building time is too long. ### 2/5 — Can’t log in. Support is no help. *2025-07-11, version 1.5.5* First of all, I do like the game. I was able to log in the first couple of days that I played. Then suddenly I couldn’t. I push the button to log in and nothing happens. Repeatedly. I sent a support email and they sent back a reply but didn’t offer a solution. 3 days and still no answer…. You guys also need to put in a feature that automatically collects the money from the buildings. Repeatedly clicking all over the map to collect it gets old really quickly. Let me know when you guys figure out why I can’t log in. Then I’ll update my review. For now it’s two stars. ### 3/5 — No support *2025-07-09, version 1.5.5* I was enjoying it but now I’m all of a sudden not logged in so I can see friends or get friend coins. Pushing the login button does nothing. Also, no in-app support! When asked to briefly explain issue, I can type in the problem but the “send email” button will not activate to send the email! ### 4/5 — @island *2025-07-08, version 1.5.5* Excellent game. Good job ### 4/5 — decent game *2025-06-23, version 1.5.5* i am unable to get daily rewards after 10th day it is frozen have been unable to get for the past 11day since i started and Now i am gonna have to quit!! there is no support to this game. i am unable to change the name they gave me...there is No way to change😡!!! yes you do not need money to play but the items in game are high in price there are cheap buildings in the begin but it goes from 75k to 320k then up to 1.1mil. it is hard to gain money but possible🫣. good luck to those that play!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Customer service won’t reach out *2026-04-26, version 1.10.1* Where’s customer service? ### 1/5 — Customer service won’t reach out *2025-11-29, version 1.6.1* Where’s customer service? ### 1/5 — 最悪 *2025-07-21, version 1.5.5* ログイン出来ない。 フレンドの所に行けない。 ### 1/5 — Neighbours all disappeared *2025-07-13, version 1.5.5* Have been visiting Neighbours but all of a sudden they have disappeared & I can no longer visit anyone ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2025-07-13, version 1.5.5* Would be nice if I could ### 1/5 — เกมดี *2025-04-04, version 1.5.5* แต่ยอดเงินไม่ขึ้น ไม่มีอะไรขึ้นเลย ลบเกมส์!! ### 1/5 — How do i change languages *2025-03-19, version 1.5.4* Its in chinese and i dont understand ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-03-07, version 1.5.4* Game crashes, doesn’t give you your rewards and is hard to sign in to save progress. Also takes an absurd amt. of time to log into if at all, & Apple cannot sync across devices. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-03-01* Game crashes, doesn’t give you your rewards and is hard to sign in to save progress. Also takes an absurd amt. of time to log into. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2025-02-09, version 1.5.3* Each of Sparkling Society's "games" is greedier than the last. Even the tutorial for this one forces you to watch two ads. Stop wasting your money on these greedmongers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love game *2025-11-07, version 1.6.0* I love game ### 5/5 — A wolftastic game! *2025-09-22, version 1.5.8* This game is really fun! You can build your own city and get new islands! Just two things. 1#. Gold is really hard to get and I would like there to be more ways to get gold. 2#. Could the snowy Island be a little less expencive? Thanks for reading! Have a good rest of your day!!🐾🐺🐾 ### 5/5 — Looove this Game! *2025-08-16, version 1.5.5* It’s been so much fun playing this game. It’s very strategic and as the game moves along, you learn more savvy things to do with cash/keys/gold in order to supplement your town best. A lot of fun mini sessions to visit friend towns as well. My only wish is that converting diamond keys to gold didn’t take 15 hours still at level 30. Overall, such a great find!! ### 5/5 — NO! *2025-08-10, version 1.5.5* The game started off great you could purchase buildings and earn money quickly. Of course I expected it to slow down but not like this! By the 7th day playing i realized that I’m barely making enough money to buy buildings because they are RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! Up too and above 1,000,000! No way to earn gold naturally and some of the buildings cost almost 100 gold! Unlocking the islands are unthinkable with the prices they are and unlocking more land on the FIRST island gets harder and harder. This game isn’t enjoyable anymore! ### 5/5 — like *2025-08-06, version 1.5.5* like it ### 5/5 — Oturdum *2025-06-27, version 1.5.5* Oturum açılmıyor ,etkinliklere katılamıyorum ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2025-06-18, version 1.5.5* I love this game, it’s a lot of fun and there is no ads every 5 minutes it’s very refreshing ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-06-10, version 1.5.5* I love it ### 5/5 — The best city building game *2025-05-31, version 1.5.5* I love the game no complaints 10/10 ### 5/5 — Addictive and fun *2025-05-30, version 1.5.5* Love this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
