### 4/5 — Bug  2

*2025-08-31, version 1.5.0*

There’s a second really annoying glitch. That also happens when you zoom out on the skyscraper. The thing that happens is when you zoom out on the skyscraper, the background details in the rooms disappear, and the people just turn into coloured circles.

### 4/5 — I love it, I’m 6 years old, Not very educational though

*2022-10-28, version 1.2.5*

Hi, tinybop! This app  is so fun,  I love your apps! Except even when I turn on labels, I don’t learn anything. I love creating skyscrapers and cities, but it’s not very educational. I have at least 5 apps made by tinybop: 1.Weather 2.skyscrapers 3.states of matter 4.simple machines 5.everything machine. If you could make this app more educational, then I would love it 499%. No suggestions!

### 4/5 — Great game for kids

*2020-10-12, version 1.1.1*

This is a wonderfully done game for younger kids. I remember getting it when I was 3-4, and I loved it. I recently found it again, and tried it out. I will admit, it was sort of slow, but what would you expect from a game directed at 4-7 year olds? All the little details make this a delightful game for younger kids and an interesting experience for older ones. Thanks for reading! Stay safe everybody 😷😷🧼🧴🦠

### 4/5 — The best for my kids EVER!

*2020-06-03, version 1.1.0*

OMG! THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER! My kids love it soooooo much! I thank you guys at Apple, you guys at Tinybop and MYSELF for buying this app! I just wish you could lower the cost, though…

### 3/5 — Not worth money💸💰💵🤑$

*2020-03-02, version 1.1.0*

So in the video in the App Store, I thought it was pretty cool.😎 But when I bought it, it was pretty lame.😒 I think 🤔💭 it just has A LOT of room for improvement. I’m just not satisfied with my purchase. (Not worth deflating your wallet. LOL🤣)

*2023-04-21, version 1.3.0*

Extremely boring. Made for kids. Wouldn’t have left a review but they are charging money for this.  Designed for kids but no tutorial. Instructions read like a legal contract yet it’s for kids.
