Service 2.0

This update ruined the game. I redownloaded and now my city is crumbling due to the infrastructure upgrades. It’s like having to restart not worth playing anymore honestly. Sucks for them cause now I have adult money

Annoyed

My city is currently filled with blank cubes! Is this supposed to be an update? Can you please fix it?

The automatic zooming in on flying objects needs to stop. It was nice once, now it’s very distracting and annoying.

The different themed mayor challenges and the increased bonus assignments are good!

Update Messed Up resolution

The last update messed up the screen resolution on my iPhone. The game is not playable.

You broke it

Sep 9, 2026 update broke it. It opens and shortly after freezes.

Last Update is Awful

Today’s update has screwed everything up…everything is off center buildings are blurred…you can’t click on anything because nothing is center..everytime you guys update the app you mess things up for the worse …this last update is the worst one I’ve seen in years…fire whoever did this last update

Crashes iPAD Air

The latest update regularly crashes my iPad Air. Basically makes the game unusable.

Olivia’s valley

Love it,great gameplay play everyday

Recent update 9.9.26 :(

Good but on iPad 13in seems to be a massive UI glitch that I wasn’t experiencing until the update. The game won’t even fill my screen and I cannot touch on certain buttons at the moment. Otherwise fun and chill game.

Not much explanation

Too much upgrade, too expensive and not sure what I have these other money for. How do I use about ready to delete. Very confusing not really like original SimCity.

Stop messing it up

Sep26: I assume you know that your most recent update has screwed the aspect ratio? I’m using an 11” iPad Pro m5 and now get an inch wide white border on the top and right sides. But the touch is still covering full screen, so the game is unusable!

March26: for the love of god, stop messing up a great game. Now you’ve introduced ‘renovations’ and the ridiculous Services change (which changes its demands for no understandable reason). Please remove the former and at least dial down the latter. You are failing at this, we will all just stop playing!

Jan26: Once again, a great game, good range of game play, creative updates (normally) with seasonal rounds, reachable progress.
Then they started playing with it, now tiresome, buggy and too reliant on paid upgrades.
Please revert and STOP PLAYING AROUND WITH IT!

Last update

The last update screwed up revolution on the iPhone cannot play game because cannot see buttons. Completely unplayable.

President

I like the war and I like the challenges because the rewards are worth it and it is fun to do. The graphics in this game are great. However, I do have some complaints now I think way too much is based on cash, real cash, and the wars are very hard to win because somebody many people cheat somehow and get stuff that I’ve tried and tried and tried it for years to get and I can’t get.!!
I do like that you lowered the tickets that are necessary to use, but I still think that it’s a lot harder to play than it used to be….

Fun for ALL ages!!

This game is addictive! My daughter got me into it 6 years ago and i love it! I have five different regions now and I have joined a club and having a great time participating in war games! This game is not just one game. It seems like many games wrapped up into one game you’re not only building your city maintaining it. You can participate in the mayors race against other mayors to win prizes. They also have design City challenges you could participate in. and if you’re in a club, you can participate in war against other clubs for nice prizes you can build your railroad and maintain that for prizes. Always something to do never get bored with this game and the best thing is I’ve made friends all over the world, which is great to socialize!

Why try and fix what isn’t broken?

Camera angle makes me feel sick. Can’t lower it anymore. Basically looking at everything overhead.

Fall from grace

What was once a great game is now a shadow of its former self. New changes have destroyed this game.

Latest version broke iPad

Aspect ratio is off with latest update - cant play on iPad

Bug

There’s something weird with this game just logged on and the screen is zoomed in and cannot see all of it and if you press something you have to press left of it to actually click it. Please fix this bug or update

Game messed up

As of today—when I open the app the screen is overly magnified and I cannot fully view anything nor click around. Someone pls advise.

Great fun!

Love it!
