State Connect: Traffic Control

I have never uninstalled an app faster than this one after hearing an audio based ad inside the game. I typically listen to other things while playing mobile games, so having that interrupted while I'm just trying to chill out is not my idea of a good time. Plus the forced ads are very snnoying, I'd rather choose to watch an ad for a reward than be forced to watch one every few minutes.

Hey everybody, you know that annoying "rate us" pop-up we get in games, the one one that doesn't redirect us to the store unless it's a 5 star. You know the one. Well, here you go. My gripe is the quests tab, stuck on, create a city with 3 roads. The problem with this is there are no more cities with less than 4 or 5 roads and only 1 city that can only have 2 roads in Baja, so game over I guess, uninstalling. About 3 days, that's it. Other continents with locked icons, but I'm at about 250nn. 👎

Update (1/21/2024): It has been almost 10 months. No new countries exist. I'd delete the star if I could. The ads aren't the issue. The lack of new countries and further game play is the issue. Original: I love the concept of this game but I'm only giving 2 stars because I've keep it downloaded and using up space on my phone for several months in hopes they'll finally release the other continents that just keep saying "coming soon".

Too many ads. It would be great if I could go for longer than 2 minutes without an "aD bReAk" coming up and either holding me visually hostage by making me sit through it and wasting my time, or just wasting my time by me having to close out the whole game and re-open it to skip the ad. And the audio-only ads that randomly play? Sneaky and underhanded. If I wanted to listen to or watch ads, I would google search for ads to watch. Literally no one wants these. Stop it now.

This is a good time waster, and fool that I am, I even paid to remove ads. But there are only two maps!! Please, please add the remainder of the continents to the game. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard if the game is still actively being developed. I will change my rating to 5 stars if more content is added but right now $9 is not worth it.

I finished North America and Europe which re the only continents available. Everything else says " coming soon". Every one who complains about this gets a response about how ads are important for keethe game free. Ads have nothing to do with not adding new content. There are games that don't have any ads that update on a regular basis. Just admit you have no idea when new areas are going to be avaliable. Deleting game.

There are ads that are bad enough, and then there's way too many ads. And that's the very thing that just ruins this game for me! Honestly, I can only give it a 1 star. It's literally every other move I make in game (roughly 5 seconds) that triggers a 30-second ad. Just, why? For any consumer, the ad VS gameplay ratio of this game is totally unacceptable! The game concept is pretty good, but the greed thing is way too apparent and way too much!

Updating my review still no change. Ads are still popping up ever 30 sec and the remove ad option is still $8.99. When they reply they say that they are "aware" of the issue or "bug" and are working on it. I doubt it. They are not going to fix the issue or lower the price. If I could rate negative stars I would. This game is not worth installing it's a waste of time. I have to uninstall this game.

This game is alright for passing the time, but the auto-loading ads really detract from being able to get much done within a couple minutes of play. The auto-loading ad breaks wouldn't be an issue if they were spaced out by at least 5 minutes. Instead, they pop up every 10 to 15 seconds; which is really annoying because it's hard to view a larger area and memorize locations for new connections in such a short amount of time.

Ad break isn't spaced out enough. Decent time passer other than that but the amount of ad breaks drives me away. I could see every 5 minutes but it's literally every 30 seconds. Edit: I'll make it simple for you. There. Are. Too. Many. Ads. Please. Tame. It. A. Little. Every 30 seconds of gameplay I have an ad pop up. Do you really think that will retain my attention? Not to mention I have to click 3 exit buttons to close the ad that I don't want to see.

The disruptiveness of the ad experience is too extreme. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. Ads shouldn't be able to break away to the app store, completely changing what application you're using, without you touching the ad. I've tested this many times and there are certain ads that will leave the game entirely without any interaction from the user. You have to look at which apps are jumping to the app store entirely without even being tapped

Way too many ads in which you need to be physically present to x out of them. No offline earnings so unless you sit there and x out of the ads you will not continue to make any money for your upgrades. So you LITERALLY have to sit there for the entire time waiting for the money to accrue for upgrades. So this is not even what I would call a casual game, but rather a casual ad watch. Add to that the boring repetitiveness, and you've got yourself the perfect game to skip! U N I N S T A L L I N G

It's an enjoyable game, but ads pop up a little too often and (this is what brought my rating to 2-stars) there's a parking level that is physically impossible to beat. The parking barriers don't allow the last car to leave the lot. All you can do is back out of the side game and never play the parking game again.

Ads are way to common. Every 2 minutes or less you get a fricken ad. It ruins the gameplay but it's a fun game don't get me wrong. But the ads just ruin the entire gameplay. Please fix this issue and maybe I'll reconsider my rating. But this should be for all who hate ads because the ads are way to common even if you don't do anything every like 30 seconds it's an ad. I hate how also you can't play it offline. I feel like it should be a game you are able to play offline to.

This game will play an ad after you're done watching the ad you agreed to, with no remorse or opt-out. Doesn't even have offline play, which is strange because it has a simplistic build. Overall annoying, but I can appreciate the way it's set up. I like that it's not another game where you have to pretend to take over the world

Calming, idle that keeps me engaged. the music is great, and i agree with another review where i would prefer the option to mute the noise and leave the music. i like that there isn't a limit for the number of roads to city and they can overlay to increase income. i like the progression of the increase for cost; it's not so much that i have to wait forever to keep playing. i like watching the cars but i think the skin cost could come down. i would pay for no ads if the price was cut in half.

I have had this game for over a year and still there are only 2 continents available. I have all the upgrades and a year with no updates. All the continents just keep saying "coming soon." UPDATE: Only response from the developers is about ads. My review is not about ads. So the automatic responses are totally off and make it look like they respond when they really don't. Thanks all.
