What Real Users Say

"The game has undergone changes over time but the latest ones are clearly designed to make money for the app at the expense of fun gaming for the user. So disappointing. I will be searching for a new game that values the player over profit."
"New update is horrible. Upgrading service buildings to 100% and they still don’t cover what they used to cover. Rarely play the game anymore."
"It was great until the last update. Now all my work is ruined, my cities are all shrinking, and I don’t have enough money to update all the services I had already built. I played mayors pass almost every time, but they won’t be getting any more from me."
