Crashes when I hit the play button. Please fix this! **Developer response:** Forgot to reply but this was fixed in an update for most users a few years ago. If you're still seeing it let us know via support@tinybop.com and let us know the the version of device you are running and the OS version. ### 5/5 — So cute *2022-05-14* This is super cute and I like how the houses look ### 5/5 — I love this app!!! *2021-12-16* This app is really fun I like that it’s interactive and there are different rooms and different stuff to do in each house the only thing that I want like how all the other reviews ask for is for just a couple more houses it would be really cool! Maybe you could put in a house that shows how people who live in really cool places live like a tiny little house in a very snowy and cold area with nothing around there could be some snow dogs I think that would be a really fun house but anyways I really love this app! I have almost every app from Tinybop accept for weather by Tinybop so that’s the only one I need left anyways have a good day!!! ### 1/5 — Not Working *2021-06-22, version 1.1.8* Keeps closing upon startup. I've tried reinstalling and rebooting, but with no luck. Disappointed. ### 3/5 — Cool *2021-06-14* This game is really cool but I feel like it would be better with people in the homes that you could do stuff with instead of just exploring an abandoned home. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your awesome suggestion! We will definitely consider adding people into the homes in future updates. In the meantime, please email us at support@tinybop.com with any additional questions or feedback. Thanks! ### 4/5 — A bit boring *2021-03-29* Sometimes I get bored playing this game but it’s a good game overall **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!
