Basically no ads and no pop ups this game is genuinely great, and so much community content with the mods. I love this game ### 5/5 — To good *2026-08-22, version 1.12.80* 10/10 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-21, version 1.12.80* Honestly, exactly the kind of game I was looking for. It balances realistic and fun very well for a mobile game with no pop up game ads (uk the ones that pop up like every time I friggin tap the screen). It just feels nice to play, and i like that there are game modes for if you just want to focus on building or if you want to experience a more city management with higher inflation and stuff that you need to care about. Overall, I’ve been really enjoying this game in my free time. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-18, version 1.12.80* Really fun and calms me ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍 *2026-08-17, version 1.12.80* Крутая игра продолжайте в таком же духе ### 5/5 — It’s great. *2026-08-17, version 1.12.80* If you like games like city skylines (or can’t get it) this would be your closest option and overall is a better game. ### 5/5 — GOOD *2026-08-16, version 1.12.80* So well it’s nice but can you add a Disney Florida resort building thats large so example pop ceuntry all stars and boardwalk and animal kingdom etc. PLEASE lobby PLEASE ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-08-15, version 1.12.80* The music is fantastic, although I had to download the earlier OSTs (because for some reason, the original tracks weren't on there), so fix that if you can, devs. Otherwise, it's pretty good, the pixel art just hits the spot, but the gameplay might be a bit boring at times. Also, there's a bug on iPad where the labels that have the letter Q, capitalised or lowercase, glitch out and turn into a question mark. Other than that, it's pretty good. ### 5/5 — That‘s good *2026-08-14, version 1.12.80* A very good game ### 5/5 — Estradas diagonais *2026-08-12, version 1.12.80* Por favor adicionem estradas diagonais e mais funcionalidades de construção em estradas por favor o jogo é perfeitooo ### 5/5 — OMG This game is so amazing! *2026-08-12, version 1.12.80* I like this game is includes Interstates and highways?! ### 2/5 — It’s Alright *2026-08-12, version 1.12.80* I enjoy that it gives OG SimCity vibes but my God why is everything behind a purchase. I can’t add anything without having to buy diamonds. No schools, no decorations, nothing and everything takes so long to rank up that they want you to end up buying. I enjoyed it for about an hour before I’m this close to removing it from my phone. ### 3/5 — lag *2026-08-12, version 1.12.80* terjadi lag setiap main ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-11, version 1.12.80* Tek kelime ile mükemmel, oyun geliştiren biri olarak bu oyunu hayranlıkla oynadım ama roket gorlatmak biraz zor geliştiriciye selamımı çakarım✌️🤝👋❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Perfect if you like the OG SimCity games! *2026-08-11, version 1.12.80* I love this game so much!! It gives me the same vibe as SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4. Definitely made with love! ### 5/5 — . *2026-08-10, version 1.12.80* My favorite simulator, its so relaxing ### 4/5 — Good city building game *2026-08-10, version 1.12.80* Takes inspiration from SimCity and city skylines ### 5/5 — game D *2026-08-09, version 1.12.80* ชอบครับรักเลย ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beraber *2026-08-11, version 1.12.80* Ön izlemwyle alakası yok siliyorum ### 1/5 — No outright purchase option available, experience is subpar. *2026-08-04, version 1.12.80* There is no option to purchase the game outright, instead there are diamonds that you need to buy or watch ads for to unlock things. You can buy it outright on PC. ### 1/5 — No sirve el juego *2026-07-29, version 1.12.80* El juego parece que no funciona desde el primer momento que intentas dar el primer click. No es una app responsiva y tampoco funciona su diseño ### 1/5 — Maybe depends on the player *2026-07-26, version 1.12.80* I literally got like 10 fires in a minute for some reason and I don’t know why ### 1/5 — No, I don’t want to watch ads *2026-07-21, version 1.12.80* Let me dismiss the notification. Forcing it to be there isn’t going to change my mind. ### 1/5 — Más acción menos recompensa *2026-07-09, version 1.12.74* Hasta cuando el juego se ha vuelto tan tacaña que su recompensa bajó de 250 a 180 diamantes y obligarnos a pagar microtransaciones mayores a 35 dólares para luego castigar a los jugadores que se esfuerzan jugar diariamente este juego ### 1/5 — Bad!!!!!! *2026-07-05, version 1.12.74* When I watch a ad it just kick me out of the game !!!!!! ### 1/5 — PLS STOP REMOVING THE OG SONGS *2026-06-21, version 1.12.74* I’ve been playing this game for a long while and every single update you remove a og song, just please put them back because I can’t play without them😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Theotower *2026-06-20, version 1.12.74* Not go to game ### 1/5 — Very Complicated game ever *2026-06-15, version 1.12.74* Very complicated to build Airport, train station and others special building ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-09-01, version 1.12.80* This game don’t crash and there is a lot of good things ### 5/5 — Very good that’s the only thing I have to say *2026-08-29, version 1.12.80* It’s so good to be honest where I was. I don’t have a lot of Internet but this game with no Internet it’s just amazing so whoever made this I love you in five stars, absolute cinema ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-28, version 1.12.80* I have been playing this game for 5+ years and it is amazing. No other city builder on iPhone has this level of detail, it’s just like cities skylines, not to mention it’s free! The plugin library is great and most of the plugins are free with an ad, but there are no pop up ads. My only gripe with this is that tunnels are a paid feature, but other than that the game is very fun. ### 5/5 — 10/10 honestly *2026-08-26, version 1.12.80* Literally the best old styled retro game. You can even change almost anything you want. I say this game should cost $ from how customizable it is. I’ve seen games have none of these features and they cost 5$. ### 5/5 — Best game ever. *2026-08-26, version 1.12.80* Genuinely, this is better than SimCity. Not only is it pixel, (which I like) but there little micro transactions and no ads. It works well, and you could make your own map! And plug-ins are awesome. I would recommend this and any of the Designer City Series (1, 2, future, or 4) ### 5/5 — кртутт *2026-08-25, version 1.12.80* очень хорошая игра для телефона, но не вижу смысла покупать ее на пк, так как есть лучшая альтернатива по типу сити скайлайна, ну хотя мб комуто нравиться пиксельная графика ### 5/5 — excellent game always has been *2026-08-24, version 1.12.80* this is genuinely one of the most relaxing games i've ever played. i've been playing since roughly early 2023, its been so amazing ever since. every time i need to cool off from work or just life in general, i turn this game on and the music and overall ambiance helps me calm down a lot. ### 5/5 — Thank you very much, blue flower *2026-08-24, version 1.12.80* This game reminds me of city skylines but better from mobile device ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-24, version 1.12.80* Great game only problem is the rich people in this game are worse than rich people irl ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-08-24, version 1.12.80* For a free game, this should be the gold standard for App Store games. Very in depth and well thought out. Hours of content and I love the art style. Understandably has micro transactions but they are not necessary for the base game and are not forcefully in your face. And also no compulsory ads which is a breath of fresh air. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
