Pros and cons of Run That Town app for iPhone and iPad

Run That Town app good for

I really like this game if only I knew more about Australian postal codes

Like the game, but the presence of Russian language would not hurt.

Some bad moments

Game looks nice, sounds good but crashes do not allow to play properly. Progress of the game after each crash is lost

Its like a text/info graphic type sim city game. You accept or reject proposals. Thats really it so far, but its quite addictive and fun! One improvement would be a map of the town in game I can view. Population and density isnt enough to make a decision off of sometimes. Other than that, really liking it!

This is a really good game, hard to believe it came from the Aust Bureau of Statistics!

Have an iPod touch 4th gen. - would love to play this game but its glitchtastic and crashes. Fixes please??

There are not enough spaces for area codes. There are 4 blanks, there should be 5.

I was looking for a town planning game. This is great! cheers
