On peut pas jouer si on a pas d’amis qui rentre dans la game faque si t’as personne pour jouer t’a payer pour rien

Disappointed

I was excited to play the digital version of this game but unfortunately the app is complete trash. I got through the tutorial and then the app crashes. I have to uninstall to get anything to happen and go through the tutorial again where it crashes in the same place. I never even got to play, just went through the tutorial several times. Can’t someone from the developers just fix this app?!

Really good fun

Really good fun, also I don’t understand why it’s rated so low either. Can by the extension pack too if you want to add the babies etc. very happy 👍

Online glichey

Couldn’t get through a game with online friends. Kept kicking one of us off, then you have to restart and watch the game from the beginning with no fast forward. Requested refund.

Local game needs a way to save and return to it

Would be great if you could save the local games so if you look at other apps or pause for a few hours you don’t have to restart the game.
