Apple is forcing thousands of game developers to update their apps into a 64-Bit format, in order to comply with IOS 11. This being said, these virtual villager/families games were a big part of my childhood on the PC and I love playing them today on IOS. I'd hate to see their performance impacted in any way because of an update. I know you guys are probably hard at work on Virtual Families 3, and honestly I probably have no idea how hard it is to update existing apps to run with Apple's system and all, and it's probably already been brought to your attention, but, just letting you know that these games are adored by so many people, and me included.
I love this game, but since there is IOS 7 and all it needs to be updated so it won't crash so much. Please fix the crashing! Thanks!
I need tech points. How do you get tech points fast???
This is by far my favorite of the virtual villagers games. Although it’s not optimized for iPhone X and up phones. Disappointing but still a great game.
This is by far my favorite of the villagers series. The island is pretty, the villagers are cute and interesting. And I love the challenges and story line :) great job guys!
Don’t buy the 99 cent. It is very bad and cheap to look at just pay the 1.99
I keep on doing everything I need to but everyone dies the third time I go on and I always have food
