Comments on SimCity BuildIt for Android

★★★★★ Bruce Fussell · May 20, 2026
New/different items for progression in my cities. I would love to be more unique in my city appearance. More upgrades. As Mayor, the people of my city deserve it. I love this game being a long-standing Mayor. There should be unlimited options for city expansions, iconic buildings and structures, futuristic images, interactive connections with other regions and regional roads and rails, explore new areas/sites, unlimited Huckleberry Island access, progression after level 99. Space Explorations
★★★★★ Fernan Ortiz · May 28, 2026
Best city building game because is 3d, and you could place houses without wasting coin!, but the business and shop buildings are kinda expensive (some buildings) but good app 😊
★★★★☆ Jac Newman · May 20, 2026
Great game, keys and cash are too scarce. They should be easier to earn, like from beach entertainment. I think adding council houses or similar to allow additional income will be amazing. Cash or simpletons can come from city entertainment and shops, or setting custom tax. A redesign button would be good to store and replace everything in the city, something like you'd see in Clash of Clans. Only issue is popups, I'm here to play not read about silly in-game additions or events
★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Mar 17, 2026
New update is garbage. Offer an option to clear the city's and rebuild. Been playing almost a decade and close to deleting this app
★☆☆☆☆ Garima Singh · Mar 19, 2026
This game is become worst the new update of service and buildings is so much bad I don't have money to upgrade service buildings this update is so bad developers need to change this.
★☆☆☆☆ J-ReVanced · Mar 22, 2026
This is more like a burger selling simulator game rather than a city building game. It's extremely difficult to earn Simpletons! Also, this new Services 2.0 update is the worst update of all time. It ruined my city layout (which I planned for almost 6 years) in an instant. Why in the world would I need to build police, fire, and health stations every couple blocks just to cover the demands?! It doesn't make any sense at all. Even the upgrade costs of water, electricity, etc. are insanely high.
