What real reviews say
★ Crash Keeps crashing
★★★★★ Fun little city sim Honestly I went from Pocket City 2 to this after a few hours in 2 with nothing done I got this one and I’ve really enjoyed it.
★ Doesn’t work anymore on IPads I opened it and it was just a light blue screen for ten minutes and nothing happened I deleted it restarted the IPad and downloaded it again and it still doesn’t work.
