I played this game right from the beginning, i.e. for years now, even way before there was an app. It used to be a very social fun game, but with every “improvement” it became less fun and it continues to do so. Even for this app, you still need some Facebook friends, if you wish to proceed swiftly and without spending money. One of the “improvements” is having to suffer a video ad every two maps you play. Another “improvement” is, if you played one app through, you’re forwarded to the next app, which means, you will need new game friends again to aid you. All those apps used to be combined in one! If you made an in-game purchase e.g. a pet, you could use it in all districts, but now every single district became an own app, so yeah, more money to spend. I’m a fan of “feed a dev”, but those developers take it a step too far and with it the fun from the game. You won’t get your money’s worth(imo), if you actually spend cash in those apps.
