There is nothing new. It’s too bad because it used to be fun. ### 3/5 — Does not save progress *2026-05-24, version 2.15.0* Game will load and play fine but it has trouble saving progress with Apple/Facebook. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2026-05-17, version 2.15.0* To be honest I originally had the original version and it was better now it’s all ads and now I can’t even get the game to open to play. Not even worth it because I can’t even play it. ### 3/5 — Game problem *2026-05-04, version 2.15.0* I love this game but it doesn’t key me play at all ### 2/5 — I like it but it’s not working. *2026-04-30, version 2.15.0* I just downloaded it last night and the first couple of leves were really cool, I had fun, but then in the level 10 it just says that “The subsequent data content of the game is currently being downloaded. The download does not affect normal play, and you can continue the game.” But it doesn’t let me continue to play, also it doesn’t let me log it, I really like it but if I can’t play or do anything what am i supposed to do. Also there’s no customer service that’s can help me. ### 2/5 — Malfunction *2026-04-28, version 2.15.0* After a certain level it says other content is download so when you go off the game and try reload it it says login failed literal waste of time and I love this game so the malfunction just ruins it. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2026-03-13, version 2.15.0* Ever since like 3 updates ago on the iPhone; the game doesn’t work. I’m so upset I loved this game and was so far. ### 4/5 — Fix the issues *2026-02-17, version 2.15.0* Please fix this game I had to start completely over due to it would go through to the title screen I had to uninstall and the reinstall and couldn’t even go back my my save progress through facebook pleaseee fix this game I truly love it thanks ### 3/5 — Great game *2026-01-17, version 2.15.0* I’m absolutely heartbroken that I can’t play this game anymore it would be absolutely great if someone could tell me why i can’t play this game anymore i went to play this game one day and couldn’t play anymore i have a galaxy A9+ and it game app doesn’t even show it i downloaded it my iPhone started playing then it stopped u should let every tablet play ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-01-17, version 2.15.0* I enjoyed this game it would be nice to get a new update and be able to play it again once you close the app the game doesn’t let you login again I would truly appreciate if this game would get the attention it truly deserves. Please get it going it’s been 4yrs and somehow I can still remember this game from my high school days. Please give it its life back. ### 2/5 — Why *2026-01-04, version 2.15.0* For some reason mine hasn’t been working and it kicks me out a lot an is slow but it mainly kicks me out. I want to play it because it’s my favorite game. ### 1/5 — No Longer A Good Game *2025-12-31, version 2.15.0* I played this game when it first launched, back when the original developers were still in charge—before it was sold to the company that owns it now. Back then, it was genuinely fun, well-designed, and actually worked. I followed the game on Facebook, stayed involved with updates, and the gameplay felt balanced and rewarding rather than frustrating. Now, downloading it feels like a gamble. If you even manage to play, the experience is nothing like it used to be. The storyline has been completely changed for the worse, the housing and decorating options are incredibly limited compared to before, and clothing is much harder to obtain. The entire gameplay loop feels unrecognizable. Since the sale, this game has lost everything that made it special. What was once one of my favorite games is now a disappointment. I truly wish it could return to its former glory, because it used to be something special—but in its current state, it’s not worth the time. ### 1/5 — Good but I’m confused *2025-12-28, version 2.15.0* I’ve been playing this game for a while now but I’ve recently downloaded it again and as soon as I reach level ten it keeps saying “the subsequent data content of the game is currently being downloaded.” It said that the last time and it didn’t even start downloading. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2025-12-16, version 2.15.0* Used to have this game then I deleted it now when it redownloaded it won’t ever let me go past level 10. Is says necessary data has to be downloaded, and I’ve had this game downloaded for multiple days waiting and it just won’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped loading *2026-08-09, version 2.15.0* It used to be a really great game but then a pop up started about how the subsequent data for the game had to download but it seemingly never did and no matter what I did or however many times I redownloaded it, it just never worked again after level 9 ### 1/5 — Can no longer login through Facebook *2026-08-08, version 2.15.0* They must have disabled Facebook login/saving, which means that my account with all of my progress and everything I’ve earned/unlocked over the years is inaccessible to me. I assume this game is abandoned now, because why else would you do that to your player base. Wow. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-08-02, version 2.15.0* Just attempted to play this game. It lets you play for so long and then says it’s downloading the rest of the game content. Waited a day, the game won’t open. It says you have the latest version but not all the resources. I even deleted the game and tried again with the same result. Seems really fun if it would actually load. ### 1/5 — help us please fix this game now *2026-07-07, version 2.15.0* i love this game but you are ruining it by not fixing it please help us!!!!!!!!!! please please please please download our data!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-05-14, version 2.15.0* Please fix the game for IPHONES!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-03, version 2.15.0* After you play a few levels it kicks you out and you can’t play ### 1/5 — Won’t let me play *2026-04-24, version 2.15.0* It won’t let me play on my iPhone 15. It says “Your data version is latest but your resource is not complete!” It worked until level 10. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. This was my favorite game on my old phone, I’m bummed it doesn’t work on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-04-08, version 2.15.0* I downloaded the game but I can’t play it pass level ten because it keeps crashing on me or saying my data version is latest but resources not complete ### 1/5 — Can never play *2026-04-06, version 2.15.0* When I first got the game I’d give it 5 stars but after playing for a while it only ever loaded up to a black screen. I tried everything imaginable to get it to work and it never did. I deleted it about 3 years ago and redownloaded it today and it’s still the same problems. Not wasting my time on something like that. ### 1/5 — Game *2026-03-30, version 2.15.0* It’s a good game but, it doesn’t work after level 9. It says it needs to download something but won’t download and I have a iPhone 13 so idk why it won’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word villas please update your game *2026-09-05, version 2.15.0* Love the game but for months I will not let me play saying data version is latest but resource is not complete if some one knows how to fix please comment ### 5/5 — Thank you and more! *2026-07-18, version 2.15.0* I love this game but it needs more levels and Holliday surprise just to let you know.
