  1. [R2] Township 5/5 · US Addictive!!: This has a wee bit of everything. Puzzles & challenges are fun and always changing which keeps things interesting. Plus the community aspect is nice if you find a group that shares and helps often. Overall I can’t stop playing.
  2. [R23] Township 5/5 · US Amazing: I love this game it is so much fun! You can build and design your own town. A great game would recommend to friends and family. You can also harvest crops and build your small town into a big city!
  3. [R24] Township 3/5 · US Barn keep getting full really annoying: Good game but when barn is full you cannot store stuff it’s really annoying. I also don’t like the games in it

  5. [R5] Township 5/5 · US Probably gonna delete this app soon: I personally wouldn’t recommend it’s impossible basically impossible to do anything without spending money.gold cards are next to impossible to get not to mention you can’t send them to teammates.don’t even get me started on the quest game it’s no reasons I should have to do 60 task in the matter 7 days to get a new title.overall it isn’t fun anymore like most
  6. [R7] Township 1/5 · US Temporary upgrades: This could have an excellent and fun game. Instead they gouge you at every turn with temporary upgrades to your barn, and they don’t tell you it’s temporary until you contact support about the fact. So, when it reverts you cannot collect items needed to actually play! I deleted the app and will never play another Playtrix game because that name is literal!
  7. [R9] Township 3/5 · US Not as advertised: OK, so I have been playing this game for years, but when I see the advertisement for it in Duolingo or other places, the actual game is not at all like the advertisements. It’s not a bad game. I do enjoy it, but once you get to the higher levels, you have to pay money and order to pass the level. Once you pay money, the next time you play the level you surprisingly pass even t
  8. [R10] Township 2/5 · US Good game: I use to love this game not until they upgrade it to a whole different game….

  10. [R13] Township 2/5 · US Seriously?: I get up this morning and go to play my little Township game only find that my barn storage expansion has been downgraded back to its original state. In other words, it went from 240 to 180. And there's no easy way to contact the Township team through the game. So, I did what I normally do when I get irritated with these games, I deleted it. This is probably some little quirk on the p
  11. [R51] Township 3/5 · US Glitches: While online it will tell me I'm not. I can use other apps and they work fine. Will take several attempts and still tell me I'm offline. As for gameplay, it would be nice to delete messages from the chat after they've been read. I kicked a person off my team and she was still shown doing regatta and in chat. I removed from friends and group but took several days to get her off, but I'd l
  12. [R60] Township 3/5 · GB Needs downloading roughly every two weeks.: Good game, i’ve been on it for about a year and a half. Downfall you need to download a the game every two weeks to carry on playing.

  15. [R6] Township 3/5 · US Good: My scale of W.O.A.H W=WOAH O=Okay A=And where’s the rest of it H=Horrible I would rate this game an O .This game is nothing like the adds but it is fun. You may end up spending money on this game as time goes on.
  16. [R16] Township 1/5 · US Not like the ad!: Nothing like the ad!! Don’t get it!!
  17. [R15] Township 3/5 · US Fun to play but cons you into spending $$$: I love the playing this game, however it 100% puts you in positions where you basically have to spend actual money if you want to advance. It can keep you busy for hours but definitely makes it hard to earn township cash otherwise your buying it. it also intentionally does not give you the game opportunities earn the full card collections when your 2 car
  18. [R25] Township 1/5 · US Scam game: So not only does this game have micro-transactions, your purchases DO NOT MATTER!! If you use any payment to increase storage for example, it will be taken away by the next pass (season pass, battle pass.. etc) So if you’re looking to just space out and have fun go for it, but don’t give these people money.
  19. [R61] Mob Control 1/5 · US Ads Ads Ads!: So many ads, I couldn’t even play the game properly.
  20. [R64] Mob Control 2/5 · US Ads are way too long: If the ads or not so long, this would be a fun game. you get to play for maybe 15 to 30 seconds and then get to watch a minute to minute ad. 😡😡😡😡 If the ads were a lot shorter, I would play a lot more.
  21. [R67] Mob Control 1/5 · US To many ads: Fun game to play, however plan on spending more time watching ads than actually playing. Cut down on the ads and I might consider another Voodoo game. But until then, I’m out.
  22. [R70] Mob Control 2/5 · US Ads upon ads: Fun game but lots of bots and ads between every 2-3 min game. Remove the ads it would be good, with ads it is a waste of time..
