Absolutely bs. They get you to play a game as a trial that looks amusing then the instal is the same rubbish that they all are.
Don't bother unless, you purchase enough town cash you can't get anywhere. Has become to expensive and they have made it so not only can you not win games but that you are unable to get rewards unless you spend more money. Used to be able to spend $10 in town cash now it's $900, another was $72 now $1,800. I collected 8,000 cards and was not able to collect the last unique card of 250 so I didn't get the reward of $15,000 town cash. Not going to be playing much anymore just can't afford it.
Used to love this game they changed a couple months ago to make the game "more fun". Had been playing this game for years. I'm done ... deleted!!
Used to play this game like it was going out of style. One of the games that had the misleading ads, but despite that it was still fun. I took a break for a while and came back and they have completely rehauled the cash system in the game. You basically have to spend money now in order to keep playing. And now they have creepy AI ads they are pushing in addition to totally false gameplay ads. I'm not only stopping playing but I'm uninstalling. Don't download this game.

pay2win junk. literally... you won't get anywhere without paying... unless you like edg... nvm... no knk shaming today
what the ads show isn't how the game is played. don't trust these developers!
I HATE THE GAME! Township used to be relaxing and fun, now it feels designed to force players into spending money. The match-3 levels have become unfairly difficult and the regattas nonstop. You’re pressured to complete tasks for your team, but levels feel impossible without buying boosts or extra moves. That creates guilt and peer pressure instead of enjoyment. The town-building aspect is still charming, but it’s buried under aggressive monetization and constant pressure to pay. MINUS 5 STARS!
they revised the economy recently and ruined a game that was very playable.
from today morning in new update game is very, frends team up update
Not really a farming or township game anymore. Just another impossible to block game. Once you level up, Zoo, and animals are pointless. Expanding takes months for developers to make. it's more less a sad copy of Royal Match., Just when you think it couldn't get worse, it did . New "more efficient" money system is a total rip off. No "are you you want to spend money, and place spend 900 bucks to continue exactly where retry button is! purposely there to STEAL YOUR PAID FOR CASH! THIEFS!!!
dont download worst game, you need money to get anywhere in this game!
I cannot even start the game after downloading. waste of megabite
to hard for dummy's
Why was it so fun? Because I could play this game and enjoy it ... Until the difficulty kicked & beat me to a pulp. It's like the devs wanted me to quit. Why can't a game be simply fun? I'm actually upset that fow what ever reasons; thingshave to get so complicated & when stuck on one puzzle... Well it may as well say "Stop paying this game & find something else" ... So I left. Hope instead of ai responding, a real human will re consider what they've done.
That is not the same game like on commercial
This game silently underlines a fundamental aspect of our society - the position and priority of farms in our lives. Something that is ever more important with each passing day. Back to the game - Pay to win. Decent game overall but hell bent on getting you to spend. Match 3 is extremely stupid, poorly implemented game mode with the only intent on getting you to spend. Other than that the game is ok but player retention is absolute garbage
I used to absolutely love this game, however, now it's horrible. It's all about money. If you don't pay, you don't really get to play. It's all about match 3, which is the only way to get any of the rewards.
Wheres the "negative" button? Apps ok, I play but I don't recommend for players that get mad easily. Township has a "bejeweled" type game that sometimes is virtually impossible, literally to beat. Your forced to buy power ups, which I dont. very annoying, bs. The Regatta event runs a lot, but youre pitted against other live teams that have way more players than you or they cheat but are impossible to beat. I'd be giving a horrible recommendation and delete.
Terrible experience, a mean neighbor with a compu6downloads third party software then puts it on your phone. This neighbor steals phones at night, while the owner is asleep. Next, the innocent phone owner is accused of cheating by Township. Goodbye game!
Not as advertised
the timing is so bad. the snack factory has been making chips for over 13 hours and still showing an hour left. the others work. that one only works when you are on the app. it has enough space to complete
it's fine. level 50 of the matching game is not possible to beat unless you pay money.
I have been playing Township for 5 years now. I really enjoyed it up until they changed it this last time. I understand it needs updates to keep players interested. The cash I spent was not too much but now it is ridiculously expensive. It is not fun and relaxing anymore. If it doesn't change to being affordable I will have to stop playing. I really don't want to have to start over and learn a new game.
In general, I really like the game. It is very cozy and fun. But nowadays there is a bug. when open the app, it forces me to click the friends tab saying they improved it, but instead wherever I touch it doesn't do anything. l am forced too close and open the game multiple times. It is starting to get very frustrating
newest update glitched app. it keeps getting stuck on the friend page. it says to connect Facebook but when you try to click the button it goes...NOWHERE it just stays on the page with arrow pointing at the button. can't back out nothing
Not like the ad! Sometimes I just want the game that is being advertised. The game you play in the ad is somehow addicting. But when you play the game, it's just building and growing. You have to earn things and if you can't, then you have to buy. I don't know, sometimes you just want to play the exact way the game is advertised. The game you play within the ad itself, is pretty fun...
This game is ok ,but it take much more time for making
I love this game, which is why I bought the pass, but the levels are way too difficult. It feels like you have to be online 24/7 just to make progress, and having to collect keys for rewards we already paid for is really discouraging. I used to love this game, but honestly, I wouldn’t buy the pass again because it doesn’t feel worth it. The levels are almost impossible, and I couldn’t even get the rewards I paid for. I honestly don’t recommend paying for the pass. It’s really disappointing.
