Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 8th November 2025
Recent improvements include:
This update expands transport management, letting you assign up to four vehicles per route and add a random station with a single tap. The music library now includes a type filter and more tracks, and Opera Park features new animation and lighting. Startup is faster, larger stations (up to 64 tiles) are supported, and extra vehicles can be bought per station. We also fixed capacity limits at monorail stations, incorrect city previews, utility overloads in Uber Mode, duplicate vehicles when path-finding was stressed, and several navigation and display glitches. Minor UI refinements round things off.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
You can make a nasa and be able to explore space and as the years go by new things can be invented and you can colonize on different planets and have environmental problems that can destroy the planet other that that is is great also more landmarks and bigger mountains and make it where you can start at like the Stone Age and make your way up to the future and people can attack you. Also on single cities make bigger maps and some ferries.
Cant believe its free its just amazing.
Nice and mostly free good pixel graphics too btw.
This game is by far our favorite mobile city game.
Our brother showed us this game. We first played it and we knew that this was going to be fun. It really was. We highly recommend playing.
This is quite literally almost exactly like sim city 4.
Genuinely an exceptional game, from game mechanics to ad-supported content. Never asks for social media spam, and the 30-seconds ads are worth every in-game resource. Only critique: zones should be able to be re-zoned. Its unreasonable that once we accidentally click the button to zone an area, thats what that square will be permanently. Otherwise, the game is top notch.
Reminds us so much of SimCity 2000. The game offers endless variety and keeps things fresh with several ways to accomplish tasks. Kudos to the devs for making a really engaging game.
TheTown is absolutely the best city sim game Ive discovered for IOS. Im not forced to wait days for things to finish or to enjoy the game. It just lets our creativity and our creation to manifest itself in the easiest way possible and thats what we love about this game. We can make dams, Overpasses, lush hills! We love TheoTown every rating this game has should be 5 stars, quite honestly we have so much respect for the developers, it really seems like they put their heart and effort into this game.
We can play the game now thank you.
We love it! The graphics are cool, and its fun build a town. However, an you stop ruining our game by making a giant pickle appear in the dead center? Or, anywhere? We had to delete our first town because of this, and it happened again. Its really annoying, and not very funny at all. Thanks.
We deleted this game and this time we will work for plugins sorry for hacking we did it because we were bored and wanted more plugins and we took a shortcut but using happy mods this time we wont do it but unban us on discord so we can say sorry.
We could not get the app to work. We tried to open it and it just keeps crashing.
The game used to work but after we updated the game just crashes when we tap the app icon.
Last Time when we played this game we could play but now we cant play it we dont know what happened we resets our iPad and it still it doesnt work pls FIX.
First we got to 1,000,000 people and it is really fun.
Ive been with this app since it first came out on android. Ive seen this app grow and develop. If your out looking for a city game, well youve found your game. We genuinely love this game.
One of the best city games Ive played.
We were skeptical going into this game, however as we played we found it to be a relief. The game is a quality city building game. The pixel art is beautiful and the the game is easy to learn.
We love this game because it has the Nepali flag. This game also has an airport with some other city games which we only like Sin City we havent unlocked it or they dont even have an airport in some of them! This game is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very Great game. So download this app if you dont have it and we give this game five stars as you can see in the title! So bye.
Forget SimCity, This is the best city build game by far! We have played it for a year now and nothing ever gets old! The plugins made by real players just keep coming in, so boredom is very hard to get while playing this game, the only thing we would like is that the devs add Multiplayer trading, THAT would complete it. But overall amazing game.
Best city builder of all time better than Cities Skylines. This game has everything to make your city look perfect love it so much u guys got to upgrade and put more buildings other than that we will die playing this game its just to good.
We rarely ever write a review on any game or app but we have to stop and do this because this is the best building app out there and we have tried many only to always come back to TheoTown because this app allows you to be as creative as you want without needing to put out any real money if you dont want to. We have though put out real money because you guys deserve the support. The plug ins are a great feature most are free and are really awesome they add a lot to your city or town. Creative people from all over the world add buildings or railways or anything and we love that too. Thats developers.
This game is best but when we get 1000+ add ons it LAGS so hard that made us mad and pls fix the lag maybe make your game space lower by little or make plugins easier to download pls add download all button so we can download ALL of those that might make our hand rest more, and also we know this game is in beta right now. But pls remove LAGS.
First off you dont have to pay for anything in this game its all free except for like buying coins and stuff you really dont need second The community makes most of the content Third you can pick the difficulty or you can pick sandbox.
Ive been playing for a long time and we love this game there was somethings thats changed like no more insta builds in sandbox airport where added the military was added also the DSA we cant quite seem to finish help pickle in the moon he just gets stuck saying Im sorry but we have nothing to tell you at this time and we dont know how to export helium 3 and Ive hit a dead end.
We just have 1 request to make this game even more amazing. Add some way to zone a whole area without having to click on each individual zone to check or uncheck untouchable.. Cities Skylines a has way to do it.. We think you guys should incorporate something like that.
Awesome game! Only thing we would like to see added is the addition of an iCloud sync or a way to play our same town/land on multiple devices. Thank you.
This game litterally has unlimited potential. So many cool things and ideas can be added to this game. The only problem thats pissing us off is our region will not load in at all. Just stuck on an infinite loading screen forever. Many hours just gone to waste.
This is a great game we just started playing this week, we are not really a pixel art lover, but it's the game's specialty, we were going to give it 5 stars. But the fire brigade suddenly doesn't work for some reason, idk why, if any devs see this please fix it.
The game was fun, at first. But then an annoying bug came and the city population didnt grow so we couldnt grow our city, next thing you know we went bankrupt and we tried to delete some plugins still didnt work.
So Theo town is like our FAVORITE city building game on IOS. But there are a few additions we would like you to add. First, maybe some more landmarks like Empire State Building or the White House. Second, how do you feel about going all futuristic with cities of tomorrow? Third, when drive around in a car, could it be like when you drive a car in SimCity 4? And that is all and otherwise dont change a thing.
We love this game. We started it a couple days ago and Im addicted. The only thing we want is to be able to rotate buildings so they look better in your city. It kind of look weird having the front of your church facing the side of your graveyard, you know what we mean? Anyway, Please consider on what we suggested and best of luck to you all.
Todo est muy bien implementando la gestin es muy buena. Muy recomendable.
Please bring back giant maps to the map creator.
We love this game when we were five we always wanted a game like this and well we guess god made it.
Great game! But we think our inhabitants count is buggy. Can you take a look? Thanks.
Its easy to play but if youre hoping for a step by step tutorial then you are out of luck, ended up destroying our city with a flood because we were noticing our lake was rising and thought we could get flood relief if we tapped on it. BIG mistake. We nuked it and destroyed it we ended up losing money and deleted the game we hate that you cant move buildings or delete water pipelines this game is frustrating to learn but easy to play.
We have been playing before airports add-ons and we still play it. Your updates are all good so far and am no complaining. You adding the add-ons into the games makes it so if you get bored of some of the buildings there is always the Community making things to make you have a better experience. Its like frosting on the cake it just makes everything better. Adding sandbox was a good idea because If you dont want to do all the stuff to make a city you can just go into sand box and let your mind go do its thing.
Its a really good game but we encourage the devs to improve the graphics and sound system.
This game is so detailed and beautiful it deserves more recognition.
We love the game and how you dont need to buy anything too play it, but they are there if you want them, we think the plugin method is ok but Im not sure how we feel about the add part and what not. Water is confusing to place and can be a pain. A level 0 for water that doesnt change the depth at all would be nice and just more options or dealing with it we suppose, and maybe free underground tunnels, idk.
Sorry for our english; we are from Costa Rica. This is the first time we see a game very similar to city skylines and we love it! You have so much freedom to create your own city. Not like simcity . 10/10.
TheoTown is the best city sim on iOS, period. No ads and no micro transactions (hooray!), with nice graphics and engaging gameplay. To us, its basically the only city game on iOS worth getting; the mechanics are pretty realistic (for example, there isnt a bunch of silly, unrealistic junk like trying to collect three sneakers and an ice cream cone to build something cough SimCity BuildIt cough) and the plugins to get unique buildings are an awesome touch that makes your cities feel realistic and unique. If you liked SimCity 2000 back in the day, or even if you like Cities Skylines on your PC, this is a great way (and really, the ONLY way) to get that kind of experience on iOS. Five stars, hands down.
We Tried Is Playing This Then we Got So Happy Thanks.
Great game but we have an issue with registering for an scouted it said we could not use our account plz fix.
We love this game Ive played it since it came out the graphics and the physics are really good for a mobile game but, we wish we could have larger maps we built a giant map but only managed 500k population cause we rand out of space maybe like super size or earth size or something . We really hope you guys see this . Bye.
Its a good game and all but sometimes the GUI can display one thing but a diffent thing but overall great game.
We think underwater cites would be a huge update to the game and make it way better then we could make our own Atlantis and also how do you become a beta tester on iPhone.
Hello, first of all this game is very fun, easy and addictive to play. We personally enjoy it very much. Ive been having difficulties with sudden crashing and closing of the app. This interrupts gameplay as we cannot prepare for our city/region to be saved. We usually have to backtrack and add to our land little by little, instead of having a through and thorough playtime. This problem happens at any time, and on any land. We could have a dense city, or an empty field and it will still crash on us.
