### 2/5 — Transport game

*2024-10-17*

The transport game needs to work like the original from the App Store. You made it too hard to play.

Edit: Here’s what you need to do to make the transport game it AMAZING.

1. Put back the base graphics of the game, as well as the original settings of the game from basic to advanced (go look at the original gameplay)
1.5. Add the original icons for everything, as well as put back the original menu for TTD for the hangars and depots
2. Add a download or temp download feature for GRFS and put back the menu 
3. For the track menu, figure out how to make all directions for trains and roads possible (the current directional menu is very confusing)
4. ADD TRAMSSSSS 
5. Add more options for airplanes and trains

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Would you like to provide more detail requirements? I am glad to improve and evolve the mode step by step.

### 3/5 — The ancient city is lacging

*2024-08-13*

But the Martin city is good

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Ancient Rome mode has been optimized for better performance on Version 1.3.1

### 4/5 — Good Approximation of Original

*2024-08-04*

Really enjoy this version which is much like it was on the Amiga.  The only bad thing is that you have to manually simulate each month passing, rather than it being automatic.  This would make it much more enjoyable.

### 4/5 — Turn based not time based

*2024-03-22*

This clone of a old city simulator is pretty on point with the original.final product but needs a few tweaks to get five stars. First it’s turn based and not timed based. So every month is a turn. It’s not terrible but loses a star. Needs to have additional bonus buildings like in the SNES game. Casinos, large parks, super pd, mayor house. Things like that. Loses a star there But all in all solid city sim. Update: I must now give this game 1 star. The budget screen is broken. The sliders have no effect on roads police and fire coverage. You can set to zero and no change to coverages effectively removing any challenge. It’s a broken game.

*update: this developer is super responsive!! The new update fixed the budget screen and now the game has a challenge! 

Thank you. I gave back a few stars. Once we get special buildings should be 5!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback and wonderful rating.
Version 1.3.0 released to introduce time-based gameplay to replace the previous turn-based system.

### 3/5 — Way too much detruction

*2024-03-09*

Enemy armies are to strong, our to weak and hard to grow, everything is always catching on fire, theres no way to build bridges over land so if an earthquake hits your whole city is almost completely destroyed and the part that isn’t cant be expanded

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2024-01-31*

Would like to not see the explanations of each zone etc each time you select the. Way too annoying… otherwise great job. Looking forward to future updates

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Explanations were changed to show only once.

### 1/5 — how play?

*2023-08-14*

idk how to play it theres no info i could find and notutorial

### 1/5 — Нет обучения ничего не понять

*2023-07-24*

Нету обучения ничего не понятно особенно с бульдозером я расчистил место а мне пишет что надо опять и так всё время (((
Минусы: нет обучения, не понятно расчистил ли он место или нет как понять ?

### 4/5 — gelişmeli

*2023-06-29, version 1.2.3*

gelişmeli Of course, it should improve, but no one has looked at the comments, please, I am saying as a Turk, translate other comments from google translate like the train went from outside the road.

### 4/5 — It good game but can you please add sandbox

*2023-04-20*

Please add sandbox mode

### 3/5 — Police

*2023-03-27*

At the building 20 police station there should be a headquarters, also a casino

### 3/5 — Confused about power plant

*2023-02-01*

I’m so confused
Ive tried everything to lay my power lines. I made everything adjacent and even connected my lines to my residential zones and no luck. I’ve gone through the tutorial 4 times and just can’t give my buildings power. The nuclear plant is right there but it won’t work

### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar

*2026-07-24*

Endlich ein Spiel, dass an Caesar3 erinnert. Aber nach 2 Minuten geht über dem Menü ein Werbebanner auf, dass sich nicht entfernen lässt und man kommt nicht mehr an das Menü… Upgrade auf irgendeine Vollversion ohne wenigstens ein bisschen zu testen. Sorry das geht garnicht 🤬

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, eine Bewertung zu schreiben.

Es tut mir leid, dass das Menü so frustrierend war. Du kannst das Upgrade-Menü schließen, indem du entweder auf den Hintergrund außerhalb des Menüs tippst oder im Menü ganz nach unten scrollst und auf „Not now“ tippst.

Du hast aber absolut einen guten Punkt angesprochen: In diesem Menü gibt es viele Einträge, und das Werbebanner macht das Schließen unnötig schwierig. Ich werde das Werbebanner in diesem Menü in einem kommenden Update entfernen, damit die Bedienung deutlich einfacher wird.

Nochmals vielen Dank für dein hilfreiches Feedback – solche Hinweise helfen dabei, die App zu verbessern.

### 1/5 — Barely playable

*2025-06-05*

Because of the ads blocking buttons for buildings and the way things are placed with your touches, the game is barely playable. Uninstalled.

**Developer response:** Ads should not block any buttons. Would you please tell me which device you used and which mode you played?

### 1/5 — Nuuuuuul

*2025-05-12*

Nul !!!que des incendies !!ingerable

### 1/5 — Maus ist versetzt! Unspielbar

*2025-05-05*

Habe die Transportsimulation versucht, aber die Maus ist 5 - 9 Felder nach links und 1 -3 Feld nach oben versetzt. So kann man das nicht spielen

### 1/5 — not good.

*2025-04-17*

dont waste your time getting this, extremely slow, kept crashing.

### 1/5 — could not quit the game or play

*2025-01-26*

I had to force quite because of the lagging,
you can't even play the game the developer should fix this

### 1/5 — No accessibile voice over

*2025-01-17, version 1.4.8*

Peccato che non sia gestibile da voice over come bc4000 spero ci si lavori

### 1/5 — terrible

*2024-04-24*

in the original simcity you didn't have to hit a button to constantly simulate the action. There was a pause button otherwise the simulation would run itself. 

There also seems to be no way to access the budget or any other features unless the year in game passes and then the beduget window opens up. Uninstalled. Good try on an original take.

### 1/5 — Turn based not time based

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback. The bug of road/police/fire coverage effect has been fixed in version 1.2.7.

### 1/5 — The power doesnt work

*2023-08-21*

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2026-01-03*

Excellent version of older pc games… I would like to see auto budget on the city simulator

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Explanations were changed to show only once.

### 5/5 — 輸送シミュレーションにAIを追加してほしい

*2025-12-27*

輸送シミュレーションがとにかく素晴らしい
OpenTTDを忠実に再現できている
一つ言うことがあるとすれば、AIやマルチプレイを追加できるようにして欲しいということだろう。
現状では「地方自治体への賄賂」や「独占輸送権」のボタンの存在意義がない。

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2025-01-02*

Great game runs smoothly…❤️.
If possible also add a mode like colony survival.

### 5/5 — ТО ЧТО Я ИСКАЛ!!!

*2024-11-13*

Это клон OpenTTD ,один в один!( только там нужно будет пару кнопочек нажать чтобы превратить в OpenTTD)

### 5/5 — thêm 1 mô phỏng mới

*2024-11-08, version 1.4.1*

tôi cũng thấy hay
mô phỏng thánh phố liên hánh tinh bất đấu con số 0 
lếu các vị thấy hay thí lám nha 
tôi không vôi đâu 
lếu các bạn không lám thí không sao

### 5/5 — Fantastica

*2023-03-08, version 1.2.0*

Continuo a perderci diottrie ora come allora, un gioco sempre divertente. Non potrei mai farne a meno.
Una cosa sola, sarebbe bello un aggiornamento per rendere fluido il tempo, velocizzarlo o metterlo in pausa anziché il tasto mese per mese che a volte diventa frenetico. Comunque grazie di aver realizzato questo port fantastico

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-08-26, version 1.0.7*

The best city managed game ever 😆

### 5/5 — Neceb güzle

*2021-08-11, version 1.0.6*

Neceb güzle bi oyün

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2021-07-01*

This is such an excellent app! CTMayor is a great app for kids to play! It will help them with their strategy. I love this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and rating!

### 5/5 — Perfect!!

*2021-04-08*

This is exactly what I was looking for: the classic SimCity experience. It’s as fun as I remembered. Fantastic!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your awesome review and rating! I really appreciate your amazing comment.
