I used to really enjoy this game. But there are many issues with it:
1. Not optimized for full-screen iPhones. I have the 11 Pro, and there are half-inch borders on either side of the screen. It looks like the developers simply did not care to make this game enjoyable on the new device.
2. Excruciating load time!! When I had the 8+, I thought the game loaded slow, but thought it would be better with a newer device nope. Still takes at least three ministers for this game to load.
3. Gameplay. The later objectives are impossible to reach because doing so required in-game purchases, and there is no way around that for a number of tasks. Meaning, you wind up in a dead-end game, unable to expand (which costs diamonds which you have to buy with real money), and likewise unable to complete the tasks. It even costs diamonds (again, real money) if you want to destroy a building you previously purchased!
4. Redundancy. Sooner or later, you’ll end up just watching traffic and the looking at the recycling plant. It gets real boring real fast.
5. Developer abandonment. This is probably the worse thing. The devs are unresponsive to my emails, and this game is definitely hasn’t been update in at least two years. With all of this, I guess it’s time for me to abandon the app as well. Too bad.

Fun up until you have to buy diamonds with actual human money to continue. Can't do anything anymore unless I pay for expansions. Awful and disappointing. I am entirely willing to spend money on a good game, but I am not willing to continuously funnel money into a game because of you made the most important currency too difficult to obtain. I hate that the rewards are tied to Facebook. I will never post a game to Facebook because I try my best not to be an irritating grandma on social media. Get it together and let me know and when you can pay up front for more features, or when you remove the pay wall that makes your game go from super fun to being stuck indefinitely within a day or two of play.

Very fun but slow to load. Also hard to expand your city if you don't want to buy investment points. I'd rather just buy the game!

Changing my review from 3 to 1star....waited 7 mins for game to load!!!! Not worth it. I have boatloads of money I can't do anything with because i don't have 8 investment points to buy another expansion!! Loaded it last night after not playing for 3 hrs and still only had 18 energy. Deleting this game.

If you are reading reviews, know that they give you points for reviewing it early in, so most of these reviews are written before you get far into the game and these loading issues happen as well as the discrepancy between earning and using investment points.
