One day I couldn’t find the app on my tablet anymore so I went to the App Store. The game didn’t have any support for some reason and I updated the new update and guess what?IT STILL DIDNT WORK! Plz add support to our devices -a really active,sad player of city story metro 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 ### 1/5 — Not available for my phone *2019-06-06, version 1.0.2* Can you please update your game i used to play this a lot and i really wanted to upload it again but i can’t because it’s not suitable for iOS 11 ### 1/5 — City story *2019-05-28, version 1.0.2* My husband used this game to pursue women & then “sext” with them!!! Beware!!! ### 1/5 — Broo 🤦🏽‍♀️ *2018-12-01, version 1.0.2* I loved this game so much , me and my mom would play together all the time and now the stupid update thing just makes me really made ... like u don’t understand how MUCH I LOVED THIS GAME. ### 1/5 — Updates *2018-11-09, version 1.0.2* Can the manufacturer of this game update it already?? I’ve had this game for a while but lost it when I got a new phone and want to re-download it now but can’t because the creator of this app hasn’t updated it to 11 IOS. Come on Apple! Get with it! 👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Update please *2018-11-07, version 1.0.2* That’s not support for ios 11. So boring :( ### 1/5 — Boring *2018-09-26, version 1.0.2* When I just got the game in 2013, I absolutely loved it. The goals made this game super addicting and it was SO much better than City Story. However, as time went on the goals stopped, and it was really hard to continue playing. I've stopped playing the game altogether because it's just so unsupported and BORING. I'm on Level 57 and all I can do is build buildings and expand, which takes a ridiculous four days to do so. Unless TeamLava updates this game (which they won't, it's been years since this game saw an update), I don't recommend it. Edit 1: I wanted to try playing this game again, only to see now in 2017, it's still not updated. I still won't play an outdated game.😒 Edit 2: The game is not supported on iOS 11 or 12. Wish the game would get taken down. It’s useless being here. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-06-04, version 1.0.2* I simply love this game as well as the other Storm8 games, I wish they would update City Story for the Apple iOS update so that a lot of iPhone users can continue to play and enjoy. I refuse to update my phone because then I won't be able to play this game anymore. Please update app! (edit) it’s now 2026 and I often think about this game, I miss playing this game. I wish the developers would have some compassions for the plays we miss this game, please update. ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2025-11-24, version 1.0.2* My favorite game as a kid.
