The game had fun stories for the characters and crazy outfits with their own stories and jobs, but now it’s just a cash grab. Yes, it always had premium content, but you could play quite easily without forking out tons of money. You get all these dollars with nothing buy except maybe some trees and a few original homes, everything is premium currency. The game has regular updates with new content, but to complete all the added characters, you have to buy doughnuts (premium currency). And much like the show, it’s slowly going liberal. They have historically important presidents for 4th of July, but their stories are how terrible they are. Things are added and abandon like Krusty Land and visiting friends for rewards. Instead of new outfits for your characters now you have to unlock who new versions of the characters which makes clearing your whole town of jobs, which is the only way to get doughnuts without buying them, takes ages. They did add an item so you don’t have to click every building which is great. Go back to the old way and leave your politics out of it. ### 4/5 — !!!!!Devs Read This Please!!!!!! *2024-05-20* I really love this game but there are two concerns I have. I have been playing for about 6 years and I keep coming back. However the first thing of my concern is the fact that I have to “download an update “ every time I open the app. It doesn’t matter if it was only a few minutes between gameplay, when I come back to the game it makes me sit through an update download and I’m sure it’s the same update everything because it has the same sizes. Although it doesn’t take too long (maybe about 5 minutes) it’s kind of a big inconvenience when I just closed the app 2 minutes ago. Also my second thing of concern is the fact that I’m not able to remove old tasks from my task book. For instance the seasonal task where you have to collect X amount of objects. I have no interest in completing these tasks, especially some that has been there for years and it just clutters up my task book and makes it hard to find current projects. These are two things I hope to see fixed pretty soon, but I don’t want my concerns to undermine the love I have for the game! It is so fun with a perfect storyline. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk ### 4/5 — Infinite loading screen *2024-05-04* Hi, I want to ask if there is an update or some sort of advice I can be given, I can’t login into save my game and it won’t go further than the loading screen. I have a lv29 world with no friends and it won’t let me login to it. I tried connecting my account to EA games so my progress wouldn’t be lost but something happened. My game refused to let me go in my world or even access it. (I also won’t to note i did not connect my account to EA until later on so it’s possible it may have lost my progress or deleted it but anyways) when I got my account ready and registered it made things worse much worse, I tried turn off my device, resetting my device, redownloading and reinstalled again but I could only access it by deleting the app and redownloading it. (I don’t like having to it every time to access my world cause it takes like ten minutes and then I can’t access it again.) But I don’t want to give up on this game I really want to continue but I just can’t, “like literally I can’t the game won’t let me. So if any admins are reading this please help me and thank you for listening if you did” ### 4/5 — Developers Read this please! *2023-11-30* I have been a big fan of this game for years . I have seen constant improvements over the years that just makes it better and better . People love this game because they love the creative nature within them being brought to life . There is only one problem I seen with this game however tho and it’s been a big problem for so many I have communicated with about it over the years . The Item limit needs to be adjusted way more then what it is at . You have to understand. We are building a whole town and the item limit needs to be doubled to at least what it’s at. People love to get creative . People love to really invest time and energy into this game . The item limit has stopped a lot of people from playing and just giving up . I believe if you actually doubled the limit and updated your game to withstand it without crashing more players will be rocking this game and more invested then even now . Not just adjusting it by a thousand or two. Actually doubling it from what it’s currently at so people will never have to worry about running out of space . So people don’t have to worry about destroying their builds that took hours and energy to master . I have noticed building games like Minecraft is so popular because the game makes you feel like you can be great creators and that’s why creative people flock to it . I hope you take into consideration what I have said .I am just one person but I know I speak for so many . Thank you for your time . ### 4/5 — Best game that I CANT play *2023-04-03* I have so many memories playing this game in college in between classes and had a great time. Only game to this day I’ve even made any in game purchases just because I didn’t mind spending the extra time and cash. I would give this a 5 star rating but unfortunately it gets dropped because of the customer service team and issues with the app. I have reach out numorous times to attempt to fix my issues but have received no help other then email chains that did not resolve anything. Unfortunately one random day I went to play and the game just wouldn’t let me log in. After trying for days I realized that I was just going to have to create a new account. That’s when I realized that the issue was that I was unable to connect to EA servers all together. Years later I’m still unable to connect to EA Servers, meaning I can’t play or save the game. Very disappointing that no one was able to assist as this is still to date my favorite game. I hope nobody else has this problem but I recommend the game to everyone that likes tap and click games and the simpsons! ### 2/5 — Sad *2023-01-04, version 4.59.0* I first downloaded this game in 2015 when I was in high school and recently redownloaded it to see what updates to the game there has been and it’s sad to see that there’s been absolutely none. All of the fun you could have in this game is taken away by the quests being so ungodly long (usually between 4,8,12, or even 24 hour wait times in between being able to send characters on others quests!!) as well as there being no actual fun and interactive way to earn donuts (in game currency) besides Maggie’s mini game which can earn you 1 donut every 17 hours which is insane considering anything you’d like to buy using the donuts you’ve waited so long to earn aren’t nearly enough to cover the cost of things which usually end up being 50 donuts plus. Basically the game relies solely on its players spending their actual money in order to buy donuts to buy things in the game that would allow them to have fun. Very much a pay in order to have fun while playing kinda game which is more than sad being how the simspsons as a show has made more than enough financially and could genuinely afford to make an amazing and interactive game for everyone who has supported them for the past 20+ years ### 4/5 — Need a way to get more land *2022-06-26, version 4.56.0* I have been playing this game daily for many years. I missed out on the chance to get the building that gives land tokens and need more land. I have been getting the land that is up in the mining section, but as far as the main play area, I cannot get any more. I have to wait for land tokens. These are given out very infrequently. I have no space to put more items. I have a lot of stuff in storage that I have no place to put. Please change how the land can be purchased. I have a lot of donuts and would be willing to spend on land or please give out more land tokens as daily task awards. Otherwise, I love the game and love the different updates. One other things that could be nice is a way to tap once for all the character jobs the way we can for the buildings with the sky finger. I have A LOT of characters, and it takes a long time to tap them all out of their jobs. ### 3/5 — Great game big issue, Please fix. *2022-06-20, version 4.56.0* This is one of the few games i have liked to play on mobile, and the only game i play every day. Its a great game. Though lately, for whatever reason, after i play the game 1-3 times it says it cannot connect to the server no matter what. I retry countless times, with great wifi, but no matter what i cant log into the game. I looked up how to solve this issue and someone said to uninstall and re-install the game. So i did it, and it worked, but after playing it once, it started doing the same thing. I have to do this every time I want to play, but i’m just going to give up unless i fimd a permanent solution soon because every single time i want to play the game i have to delete it and re-download it, which takes 1-2 minutes, then i have to log in, which takes 2-3 minutes, and then the game has to download the updates and everything, which takes 12-15 minutes. So every time i want to play this game, i have to waite around 20 minutes. Pleaseeee fix this i have been playing this game for years and would like to continue and i imagine that im not the only player thats been having this issue. ### 4/5 — The game’s mechanics *2022-04-25, version 4.55.0* I want to start off by saying we should to be able to zoom out more, that will make the game a lot less annoying to navigate. My OCD is off the charts with this game because of the zoom out limit. I have played this game for years, waiting for this option to be available throughout the updates to no avail. I am also annoyed by the tasks that show up per season, where you need to send the characters to do certain things to earn tickets, or dinosaur skulls for decorations and prizes. I would love if there be an option to delete side quests if we wanted. It would also be more tolerable if we were able to assign all characters a certain job based on how much they make on that certain job, like sending all 100 characters to a 24h job all at once instead of one at a time. If you guys can implement these features I would definitely put more money into this game to collect all the characters in the game, trust me. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Could be Better *2022-02-22, version 4.54.0* The game is fine but it could be improved. There are a few glitches/bugs that need to be worked out. I am constantly being logged out of this game and the login process is more complicated than necessary. In game there are a few bugs. I have characters that do not do assigned tasks from the office of unemployment even though they could (ex. I have four characters who have 4 hour tasks they can complete by themselves but when I use the office of unemployment these characters never go to complete the task). As well, I have two quests to capture creatures but I have never been able to capture them. I also have prisoners spawning from a past event in my springfield and with every update nothing changes. I have tried contacting EA help but nothing comes from it. I get like 6 people trying to solve things and in the end nothing gets solved. I am starting to grow tired of the same event tasks every few weeks. The amount of bugs and lack of imagination for events leads me to think that no developers care about this game and that pretty soon it will stop getting updates and be forgotten. ### 3/5 — Still the same……that’s not a good thing *2022-02-02, version 4.53.5* I like tapped out but I stopped playing about two years ago picked it back up and found that the things that made me quit hasn’t changed. First if you’re on an iPhone 12 closing the app is a pain. Second if you have been playing a while l, you’ll accumulate a lot of money and you can’t spend it on anything, purchasing land now uses land tokens (use to be cash) and there isn’t enough ways to get them. I’ve maxed out the land, my town is huge and have no more place for buildings requiring me to pick up old buildings to place new ones required for tasks or new events. I’ve been playing again for about 3 weeks and can’t find a way to get additional land tokens (same as before), daily tasks can get you tokens but they are few and far in between. Third, using the same characters when having multiple events (example, running four tasks and they all require homer, marge, etc, I get that those are the startup staple characters, but if you’re giving deadlines for event tasks, there is no way anyone will be able to finish them in time if the average time for tasks is 4-12 hours for each task with multiple chapters. Come on there are more characters USE THEM. I’m gone again, gimme a yell when you’ve made improvements. ### 1/5 — Horrible login issues *2022-01-27* Can’t even login. Every time I put in the verification code from my email that they sent me, it says “invalid code”. Did this for like 10 minutes too. Get your verifications right. ### 2/5 — Fix your game please!!! *2022-01-26* After playing this game for ten years, the latest update has left it broken. I’ve tried opening it for days, it’s required a verification code from my E-mail EVERY TIME and tells me I have to download 1500 updates!!!! 1500 updates!!!!! 1500 updates!!!!! I keep leaving reviews, I keep trying to report bug. But all of your avenues lead to dead end. Good to know that when you guys mess up, I can’t contact you at all either. Eleven years of the game that I can’t access and you guys can’t even have a place I can e-mail???? ### 3/5 — Email login/verification *2022-01-15, version 4.53.0* I was a loyal fan of this game from the very beginning. I downloaded it when I was 15 in 2013, and had it consecutively for the next 8 years until EA implemented their new email verification system last spring. I was subsequently locked out of my account from using an old email I no longer have, and have spent the last 9 months trying to get it back. I’ve tried going through EA multiple times, online help forums, date recovery centers and nothing works. I have spent almost a thousand dollars over the last decade in this game and I’m can’t give up on it now. After finally going through EA and talking to a helper from India, I started a new game under a new email address in the hopes of the old account being cloned onto the new one. Now that I’ve done this, I can’t even log into the system, with it saying it cannot connect to server. I have tried over 50 times and I keep getting the same response. I’m at my wits end and I don’t know what to do anymore, EA had no right to integrate this new system, it solves nothing and alienates and locks out the old players. This is my favorite game and I don’t want to lose all the progress I made. I’m beyond frustrated at the company for this action and if they offer me a reasonable explanation as to why they did this, I can understand it better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Perpetual loading screen *2024-06-12* I used to love playing but now it unbearable, I have to delete and redownload the app multiple times in a day just to play. And if I don’t it’ll never stop loading. I know this is a problem for many others so it would be great if it would be fixed. ### 1/5 — boring and takes too long or too much $ *2023-09-07* so tired of all these games costing real money to be enjoyable and actually able to get stuff. so tired of the in app updates every day that take forever to download but you have to stay on the screen or it errors out. it’s been two months and not a single update from the app store but i’ve had to wait on the loading screen updates at least 6 or more times. this really could be the best game ever but it’s just too dang expensive to even want to keep it. also missions and tasks taking hours and hours and hours is kinda ridiculous. a couple hours yea fine but 4+ hours for nearly every mission that actually results in money or donuts makes everything agonizingly slow and boring. i wind up opening it once every once in a while to just do the next set of tasks and then once that’s done there’s absolutely nothing else left to do for the next 12 hours. could be a good game but like all this ruins it. Also I’m so so dang sick of opening the game and every single day for a week straight, multiple times a day, it has to update and it takes upwards of 45 minutes to simply update so I can play it. I’m probably deleting this game, I absolutely love the simpsons and am borderline obsessed with them but the problems are just too many and too often to deal with the crap anymore ### 1/5 — EA is a joke *2023-08-21* I am writing this review to let everyone know that I have played this game for years ever since it came out. I have put a lot of money and time into it and I was at max level and I had gotten everything that came out. Then EA decided to integrate the “new” login process, and I was kicked out and my account was deleted due to inactivity. I have tried to get a hold of EA customer service support and they just keep giving me the run around. They never helped with my issue of trying to login, even after multiple times I have tried telling them that I don’t have access to that old email anymore. They just pushed me off like I was trash and the person I spoke with in the chat box was from India and didn’t care about my problem. Mostly due to they have a script that they go by over there just to get our money. EA you need to seriously deal with this huge on going problem and start treating your customers/players with more respect and loyalty. Cause if this keeps happening then you won’t have anyone playing any of your games. And then your out of business due lack of people playing your games. Please rectify this huge issue and start fixing the problems on your platform, team, servers, personal, customer service and everything else. I have to admit you guys are a good company but there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. ### 1/5 — Used to be my favorite app game and then.. *2023-06-08* This used to be my favorite app game. I played it for years nearly everyday. I don’t know what happened but a few years ago I got “logged out” of my game and to this day was never able to log back in. I advanced so much in the game I didn’t want to lose my progress. Not to mention was constantly getting the “server issue” Bart screen. Once I gave up and realized I’ll never get my original game back I abandoned the game. Then maybe a year later I decided to see if I could recover my old game (couldn’t) so I just decided to grit my teeth and start a new game but every time time I tried to play the “server error” Bart screen popped up and at times when it did I lost the progress of the NEW game I had started. I tried to create an account so I wouldn’t lose progress but the app does not allow me to go thru the entire process of creating an EA account. This happened repeatedly every time I opened this app. I abandoned the game once more and once again in 2023 decided to see if I can could create an account to finally play the game and ensure I can play while my progress is being saved. Needless to say I’m running into the same issues as I have been for years. I give up. I’m officially deleting this app and never coming back. I bet this app has lost a significant amount of users due to their incompetence and unwillingness to fix system error. Good riddance. ### 1/5 — EA is a joke *2023-02-17, version 4.60.0* I am writing this review to let everyone know that I have played this game for years ever since it came out. I have put a lot of money and time into it and I was at max level and I had gotten everything that came out. Then EA decided to integrate the “new” login process, and I was kicked out and my account was deleted due to inactivity.

I have to admit you guys are a good company but there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-06* Took forever to download. Keeps saying my login codes are invalid, and when I try to play anonymously, the entire app just shuts down. Used to be a fun game. ### 1/5 — WARNING⚠️ *2022-03-14, version 4.54.0* I’ve had the game for about a year or so and I play it off and on. I’ve never logged in (which I guess is partially on me) and by the time i did actually create the full s count, hoping it would kind of transfer what i already did, i was already in a far space so I just play anonymously. Just today 3/14, I played in the morning and had all my content. This afternoon I go in to check on the tasks and it’s completely started me over. There were no glitches, the app was just updated, but it completely blanked out and I have no way of getting that back. They even state that on the service pages. I was well over 100 levels and it’s all gone. There’s been so many times where I have to reopen the game multiple times because it doesn’t connect to the internet properly so there are no bug fixes or anything during each update. The updates themselves are annoying because they force you to update to get the new journeys-updates that sometimes don’t even come through until just a few days before the deadlines, forcing you to constantly play so you finish and get the rewards. It’s not worth the time to start over completely. ### 1/5 — Crap - pure EA garbage *2022-03-10* The game is alright. But when you “sign in “ you get the cant connect to server screen constantly So I played anonymously for a few weeks and everything seemed ok, so I logged in to add friends as that is a part of the game. After a bunch of tries I finally got past the cant connect to servers screen and BAM. My level 15 town gone Back to square 1. Deleted the crap and swore of EA for good ### 1/5 — Bug *2022-03-06* Im deleting the game. I can’t even play without having to do the same update everytime ### 1/5 — Customer support is a joke to you. *2022-03-03* Very disappointed in this company. Obviously they don’t read the reviews that people are posting. It’s sad that after years of playing I am considering giving all my progress up because you guys can’t fix what everyone has been telling you needs fixing. For months people have been trying to tell you that they are sick and tired of redownloading over a GB every time they try to open the game. Sadly it has made at least the last two events virtually unplayable because who has the time to download that every time you open the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you. *2024-09-29* After receiving this last update, all I have to say is thank you. As someone who has literally been playing for 10 years+, this game has become such a staple in my life. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game over the years as much as I have. I do not write reviews ever, but I feel obligated to write to the game developers here in this review. I may have not played every single day, but regardless, I enjoyed playing it on all of the days that I did. This game quite literally grew with me (being that I was 7 when I initially started playing) and I am more than saddened to see the game officially go. I never thought I would see the day would come when this game would end, but I am more than happy to realize that I played during this game's glory days and all the way until the end. I cannot express just how amazing and awesome this game was, from all of the quests to the characters and gameplay to just being as creative as possible with creating my own town of Springfield. This game is one of very, very few games that actually deserves the 5 stars, and I am just incredibly saddened to see that the game is shutting down. I wish the game did not have to be shut down, but nonetheless, it is a cherished childhood memory that I will reminisce over in my adulthood. So, game developers, thank you for this amazing game and experience. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Why are you leaving? *2024-09-28* For years this game has been my favorite and only mobile game I play and I know it’s not the most popular or even one that compares to most of these mobile games but I personally love the Simpsons show and hearing that this game, which mind you has majority of characters from the show in the game that you can unlock or even purchase if you wanted and even have some of the most memorable buildings and landmarks from the show! I’ve just never had a game get me so attached and not even because it’s the Simpsons but just cause there was always something new to do and you don’t have to go against anyone or worry about anything being destroyed in your town and the updates were always fun and cool as well as just being a game that would make you feel like you have something to look forward to when waiting for your Simpsons to finish their jobs. But hopefully one day we’ll get a chance to see a new and improved version of the game or just even have it come back as the normal old game it has always been. ### 5/5 — My goodbye too this game *2024-09-28* I have been playing this game ever since I was introduced to it by my nanny at age 8 since then I’ve played it on and off through elementary school middle school Covid and now in my graduating senior year there are ending the legacy saying I’m sad would be an understatement but at the same time I understand all good things must come to an end having something to look forward too every day during school really helped me get through the day on multiple occasions the Simpson was a show that has been with me longer then the game itself so I feel like I really can connect with the characters in the game their personality’s are each so vivid and distinct I wish I could shake the writers hand myself I truly just want to thank everyone involved in this game and everyone who has enjoyed this game with me I had a lot of fun reading through the Reddit and reviews of the game becouse I didint realize how many other people are still playing this game with me and the effect this game has had on them aswell I do hope there will be some way for me to continue playing this game but if there isn’t I will cherish the memory off it for the rest of my life thank you ### 5/5 — WWJD? *2023-05-18* Playing for over 10 years. ***** Literally one of the best free games and simultaneously the most frustrating for server connection, delays and crashes.***** The servers have been Hellish lately. I can’t connect for the long periods of time. The right thing to do is give us premium Jesus character for free. It won’t absolve all of EA’s sins but… WHY IS HINDU HEAVEN THE FINAL AWARD IN THIS UPDATE? Taken alone it’s nothing. But consider other story elements and it seems anti Christian (Lisa isn’t the voice of the whole town so don’t suggest it’s Lisa’s satirical viewpoint). At least both Buddha and Jesus are shown in a satirical way (neither to be taken seriously ). God is shown as vengeful and petty. BUT Shiva is the only one who isn’t a moron. Buddha is free (awarded through update tasks) and Shiva is only 75 donuts but Jesus is 199 donuts with heavenly swing set and God is 777 donuts with the 10 commandments. Jewish Walk of Fame is 250 donuts but Yahweh earns donuts (cool!!). Why is there Shiva, Shiva statue, Hindu Heaven, Apu, Manjula and Sanjay? I thought Apu and family were “canceled”. Are there other Hindus in Springfield? I’m glad there are several Christian churches and the Buddhist monastery. I’m not aware that anyone in Springfield is anything but Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, (Kwanza??), or non-religious. Like I said, the Hindu residents were “canceled”. ### 5/5 — Painful, obnoxious, and unplayable. (Long read, but very important.) *2023-02-26* I want to start of by saying that I gave this app 2 stars because when you are ACTUALLY ABLE TO PLAY IT, it’s very, very fun. However, my rating is so low because you only get around 30ish minutes to play before you “cannot connect to the server.” From there, you have two options from the EA Help Center: 1. Delete the app and reinstall. 2. Delete the app data and reinstall. It’s very vague and unhelpful, as even when you follow those instructions, it only gives you another 10-15 minutes. EA seems to put the blame on either the device or the internet, even if you’re using cellular or mobile data instead. I don’t think it’s the cellular, data, internet, or device. This is EA’s problem and they choose to avoid it as they have for years. If anyone at EA is reading this, doubt they are because they do not listen to their consumers, you all have a tendency to put the blame on the consumer’s internet or device instead of yourselves. You rarely update or even maintain your games and then move on to the next game working with a major company and making it pay to win. I’m starting to feel as though your company leeches off of larger ones to gain profit and that you do not care about maintaining your games. No, this is no longer the internet or device, this is EA refusing to update or maintain the game. It’s not worth the download or time of your day. ### 5/5 — Issue pls help *2022-01-21, version 4.53.5* Ok let me first off say I’m a simpsons addict… Today I upgraded my iPhone, picked up the 13 pro max. Downloaded tapped out, when you hop onto the app it’s stretched as if it were being played on an iPad mini. Messed with my zoom and display settings within iPhone settings without any luck finding fix. You can still play the game…. But because it’s stretched you can’t see important information such as your character task bar if your phones oriented with your front facing camera on the left. Pls help I love this game too much to stop playing because of a stupid IPhone. I had another friend who has 13 pro max download Simpsons TO on his phone and can conclude it’s not just my phone his picture stretched too. Read around online and it looks like other apps have this problem too, if someone can help I would personally buy that individual a dozen IRL donuts!!!! ### 5/5 — One of the All Time Greats… But… *2021-12-17, version 4.53.0* So I’ve been playing this game almost since it came out, and no matter what happens or how long I don’t play I always come back to it eventually. But I would say for probably the last 2 years it’s becoming more of an obligation to not miss out on stuff rather than wanting to play. The events are always entertaining, and quests and prizes are fantastic… But they’re repetitive and lazy. No more wacking day snake hunting, elf collecting or zombie slaying at halloween. Just 4 hour tasks all year round. Springfield heights is basically useless too, and the squid port has a limit on the number of tiles you can make which is weird? I get that developers are probably busy with the actual show and stuff, even though it’s such a popular game still. However, if the creativity isn’t there any more then eventually this game won’t be worth the obligation. ### 5/5 — Developers read this!!! *2021-09-13, version 4.51.0* I’ll start off quick for anyone who works on the game and passes on suggestions. There needs to be a way to get rid of or spend all the resources such as couches and yoga mats and academy awards. I’m tapped out (no pun intended lol) on these and I cannot do anymore daily tasks because of it. I really need the donuts and there’s no other way to get land tokens either but I can’t do the tasks. Please please do something about this!!! Anyway about the game.. it’s a great game but it can be pricey. You have to be patient to do the daily tasks to get donuts or play with Maggie for them, but if you save up you’ll eventually get a lot of donuts. I got over 1,000 donuts doing all those tasks religiously and like I said I’m tapped out though. It’s also a way to get land tokens but if your starting out you don’t have to worry about that yet. The tasks are easy, though some you have to wait like 8 hrs to do, and some of the storylines are more interesting than others, but you still get the Simpsons humor in there. They have seasonal events which are fun too. I wish they would bring the whacking day one lol, that was fun. All in all it’s a fun game and they have lots of updates. Just try it and you’ll probably get hooked. ### 5/5 — The Simpsons is good in both game and show form *2020-04-26, version 4.43.1* I have been watching The Simpsons for about 1-2 years now. At first, I didn’t like the show very much, bur I gradually grew to like it. I found out about this game from casually browsing the Simpsons Wiki. Since I like town-building sim games, I decided to get it to help pass time during the coronavirus outbreak of this year. Contrary to what some of the reviews say, it works really well and I have no trouble making in-app purchases given appropriate credit (most of the bad reviews seem to be from haters or people with older devices). I have an idea for a new feature. It is to make it so that one can spend in-game money (the not doughnut one, whatever that is called) to improve the chances of getting a particular item in the Yearbook Mystery Box slightly each time you do this. That way, the chance of wasting 30 doughnuts on an insignificant item is lessened. I sincerely hope this game lasts as long as The Simpsons TV Show (kind of exaggerating there, but you get the point). Thanks for reading my review if you chose to. It would be really nice, especially if the developers read this review ### 5/5 — Holds Up to Test of Time *2019-10-21, version 4.39.5* Just stopping back in after a couple more YEARS of playing TSTO to tell the developers THANK YOU for always keeping your game so fresh and updated- and for making a lot of cool, fun stuff available for your freemium & premium players alike. If more apps followed your example, they would also hold up to the test of time. Also: for a game that is consistently being updated like yours, I'm super impressed that I have had VERY, VERY few (and small) issues with game performance or glitches. Any I have had, you guys are really on top of fixing it and.....wait for it.....usually COMPENSATE YOUR CUSTOMERS with donuts when it happens. The kids may have to get out the dictionary because "compensate" is such a rare word among companies these days.🙄 Anyway- keep up the GREAT WORK!!! 👍🏻🤗😀 Update: Thanks for yet another great update!🏜 Plus all the new ways to earn free donuts- you guys are the best!!! 👍🏻🤗👍🏻🤗👍🏻🤗👍🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
