Good game bad ad policy
01/12/2023

BobKashmir
As long as you can get a good range of different ships in each area the game is very enjoyable. Jobs and other game play is challenging without being obnoxious. Expect to spend some time in game as well as needing to leave it alone to let jobs finish. You will watch a lot of ads but get good rewards like doubling rewards for watching. My big complaint with the ads is that they allow the ads to close the game and open the App Store. Other games don’t allow that. So minus 2 stars until they fix that.Follow up: My complaint is not with ads not working. Neither have I had an issue with why an advertisement is in a game situation. I have a great issue with certain ads like Royal Match and Merge Mansion that without any option will close the game and open the App Store set to their app. This is unacceptable and unnecessary for any ad to do. Your game is the only app I use that allows this. It can and should be stopped by programming and/or policy. That is why my rating is downgraded.

Hello BobKashmir , we understand that the issues with the ads might disturb your gaming experience with Port City and we are sincerely sorry for that. We would like to advise you to kill all running apps in the background using the task manager before watching any ad to avoid the obstacles, this usually helps! :) - Alz, CM

What? Game Breaking
10/02/2023

What? Well, the game ain’t broken but I hate opening it up now. Before I could see all the cities on the left and easily go between them. Now, there is a world map that I have to scroll through or move through to find the city I want. Just look at my, and what I’m sure is the majority, play and active time sense that change. Goodness…. I’ll be checking back in every few days to see if they revert back to the old method of moving through cities. (I’m sorry to the graphics or guy that was so excited about showing a world map) Update again to the Dev who keeps asking me go change my review. You have broken the game for me. It is arduous, cumbersome, frustrating, annoying, and down right rediculous to play now with this new global map and trying to navigate between cities. Update: no developer I will not update my review. I have not played the game since the new world map portion was introduced. It is too difficult to navigate between Ports easily and quickly. Update to Dev #2: No, I will not update my rating until you change back the global map that makes it slow and cumbersome to move between ports. Update to Dev #3: I’m sorry I stand explain myself better. There is not an issue with my game. It is working fine but you made it worst when you updated to a Global Map that I have to scroll around on between cities. Previously all the ports were listed on the side.

Really loved this game, but…

This game is absolutely fun until you run into glitches and cannot continue. I wrote to them about the first gems disappearing glitch, but there doesn’t seem to be a way for them to respond. I keep checking in my settings area where I sent my message to support, but no response. Now I have run into issues with not being able to access the screen to collect my rewards and all other jobs are saying cannot access area. I have reloaded game as well as tried their suggestion to deal with this glitch, but nothing seems to help. I am at a point where I cannot continue. But I absolutely loved this game up until this point. Ok. So waiting one day seemed to let me access my finished rewards. I am upgrading from a one star bummer, to four. I know the developers are working hard, i do wish there was better communication.Updated april 11, 2024. Looks like they fixed the last issue although no communication. But now the glitches are I have to reinstall each time I want to go to the Suez Canal, otherwise it says cannot go at this time. Very bummed. Game is pretty cool except for this current problem right now.Did I just receive a response yesterday? One year later?

Some suggestions
01/13/2024

Korhg
As someone who is quite willing to help pay the bills by watching the ads, but utterly unwilling to pay directly for pretend merchandise (like in game money, keys, and other credits) that advances play, I suggest that some of the bottlenecks be opened a bit so that the game doesn’t get bogged down and boring. Accumulating game money is too slow compared to other features. Either provide some means other than getting it from each port every four hours (like making it possible to make a choice of selling ships or products) or increase the payout from each city or decrease the refresh rate. I would also suggest that “improvements” to ships or a higher level of a ship might increase their speed by lowering the transit times for any run.

Developer Response
Hello Korhg , we're sorry to hear about your negative experience with the ad features. All ads are operated by the ad providers and unfortunately, all issues must be forwarded to them in order to get fixed. Although we understand why this may be frustrating, we sincerely hope it won't affect your joy from the game! - Ruth, CM
