Rocks appear back after demolishing

So while playing the game I’ve noticed I will demolish rocks just for them to appear back days later. Is this a glitch in the game or intentional? Other than that I have no issues.

I am ready to quit this game, nothing new to build...

I have enjoyed building my city. However, It is very difficult to get to a higher level. When I get to a higher level, there are very few new items to build. At that point, I usually want to quit playing as there are not enough new things to build. Why don’t we have more choices?

The sims? 😭😭

So, as you see the title you my think about the game "The sims" and you're right! Well, when I was little my mom and my two aunts used to play The Sims 2 but I would barely understand that game but I still played it, then, we lost the game for some days I can't remember why and I asked my mom if wr could get it on the phone and she said no🙄 but she told me that this game was the sims two and I believed her (I liked the game as well, and I've been looking for this game in a while)⚠️⚠️⚠️AND I KNOW IT ISN'T THE SIMS BTW THIS IS JUST A STORY ABOUT HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE GAME⚠️⚠️⚠️ anyways thank you for reading this mess😳

Want to give 5 stars

My train station disappeared. After numerous attempts to reach customer service they said I needed to this and that and basically wanted me to pay for another station and compensate me with the station, tbe upgrades and the money it had made. Obviously it’s fake money but it’s the time put into the game and then to have it taken away and be to start all over. I continued contacting customer service and they said they were forwarding to their escalation team. Well that was weeks ago it feels like and nothing has been done. I was doing everything right had my station where it was supposed to be and got out of app when done playing. I really enjoyed this game as it was relaxing. Time to find something similar this game as it doesn’t look like they are going to fix this issue.

Great concept. Too many bugs.

Happily played this game for weeks. It can be played at your leisure without sucking up all your free time. Purchase one in-app offer and the ads go away. Not much to ask for a good game. Unfortunately, it has a few irritating bugs. It freezes up, the balance between residents and jobs is off. I had 16 available jobs but the game didn't fill them. I deleted the game and downloaded it again hoping it would fix the issues. But I had to start from scratch with a brand new game. I don't see playing this long term until they fix all the bugs.

DO NOT UPDATE!

This game deserves 5 stars but the last update made it impossible to play. The in-game windows seem somehow to be transparent so each click on the screen has effect both on the open window and on the map behind. The results are buildings get updated to the next level or simply destroyed and there's no way to reverse or cancel the command. Please fix this issue so this game gets the 5 stars review it deserves.

Can’t get more cash

This game needs daily rewards or something, there is no way to get more cash, once you run out of money there is no way to get anymore so you basically stop playing. It only gives the option to upgrade places but you can’t cash out on them. I’m ready to let this game go.

It's good

The game is good, the gameplay can get annoying. In order to get most things past level 20 you need to have hours and hours of playtime to accumulate even a minimal amount of gold. Most recent update took away the price of speeding up so you just need to wing it. It's good/okay.

Watch ads for gold is BS

The game itself is interesting enough but there is an obvious need for gold to buy expansions. There are opportunities to watch ads for gold, however, only about 5-10% do you actually get the gold bar.

Update Request

This is a very good app. I have some suggestions for an update. One of them is that I would like some more space to build. Please put in some more expansions. I am running out of space. You should put some real world buildings in the game also. It would be really awesome to have a freedom tower, or an Empire State Building in your city. You should also make an option to buy XP with gold or cash. That will help you level up faster. You have a great game. It would be even more awesome with some improvements like more real world buildings, and of coarse, more expansions. Please make an update that puts these improvements in the app. There could also be real world buildings from places like Dubai, or Shanghai, or Tokyo, Paris, or anywhere else. This would really turn the game into the best city building game ever. Please make this update.

Before there where sounds when you collect money, now its gone, only the music plays in the background.Please fix that. Also, would be nice if you could, for examle, animate people on the streets, walking on the beach, playing basketball on the court, etc, just like Social City was on facebook. A lot of people play this game as it is by far the best one out of all your games and some new features would certainly refresh the game a little. Thanks in advance!

Costs too much to play

I have enjoyed playing through this game several times. Each time I made in App purchases and didn't mind because the purchase allowed me to move along with the game. This time, I noticed that the plot costs had jumped significantly especially when you get to the last 12 plots. Jumped so much it is difficult to purchase properties, do upgrades, and still be able to buy plots. If you do want to make a purchase, a $19.99 purchase of gold would cover about 1 1/2 plots. I'm wondering how much it will be when I'm down to the last few. Sorry, this is the last time I'll play or pay the ridiculous price.

One of the Best

I think this game is one of the best simulation games out there. There were a lot of ads in the beginning but I decided to make a $2 in app purchase to get rid of them. In return, I was given 400,000 in game money which is a significant amount. I have found over time that this game is very generous with gold and game currency. Plus it is a fun game to play and there are no annoying repairs to buildings to deplete to your bank.

City Island 2

Great game!!! It's by far my favorite, but now that I am at level 52 I cannot buy anything that doesn't cost gold!!! This is not really fair!! I've spent quite a bit of money on this game but I really think they need to add more houses and commercial business that cost cash instead of gold! And once you buy so many of anything the cost turns to gold, so if you get far enough like I am you have no selection of anything left!!! Please change this!!! I'm a good paying customer n this isn't fair!!!! I'll change it ton5 star if they fix this!!!

Trying to report issues with new update and keeps getting returned. Could you forward this please?! Sparkling Society buildings stay in pop up mode and one right after the other. If I delete a rock, it deletes buildings and houses I've had for months and then goes back to major popups (not ads) with no way of stopping. I have reset, restarted, etc, but do not want to uninstall, as I have been building this forever. Please help!!

Very good city-building game

The game works well and there is a good range of buildings and extra perks you can get when you expand. The adverts will disappear as soon as you make one purchase, even the smallest amount. But do write to the app and include your unique friend code or they can't do anything about it, should anything happen. This happened to me! The goals are rather simple but do almost always give you gold upon completion. The actions cost more and more money so DO spend your money wisely at the beginning when you have a ridiculous amount!

Good Game, But Has Some Issues

I was in the middle of relocating a horse barn when a request came from the games developers to rate the game. Since I was in the middle of relocating, the program could not connect to the iTunes Store for me to write a review. Unfortunately, the developers request killed my game dead in the water. I was immediately frozen out of game play! Other things I noticed earlier was the inability to turn game items in all cardinal directions, such as houses, etc; no walls, sidewalks, parking lots, traffic signs, the ability to name your city, and no bridges/overpasses in Decorations .
