As you explore the city, you'll meet other players, form crews, and gain followers to increase your influence. Participate in trendy events, climb the social leaderboards, and collaborate with friends to transform your neighborhood into the most popular spot in town.

Our Expert Score

76/100

Single City is a vibrant, social-focused life simulator that leans heavily into modern urban living and influencer culture. It’s essentially a 'Sims-lite' with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer interaction. You move into a new city, decorate your apartment, and try to build a social circle through a 'follower' mechanic that acts as your primary progression metric.

The art style is expressive and trendy, perfectly fitting the game’s vibe. What I found most interesting was the team-based elements; you can join 'crews' to compete for control over city landmarks. While the game features the typical timers and premium currencies of mobile sims, the social aspect is genuinely engaging. It’s a great 'lifestyle' game for those who enjoy decorating and meeting new people in a digital world. It feels like a mix of a social network and a tycoon game, and it’s very polished for what it is.

Single city is Fun but needs more interaction
Sat Oct 01 2022 Dark Rose Lily

Okay so I just downloaded this game and so far I’m having so much fun! There’s so much to do but the game lacks of lot of interaction with objects. All I can do is update my furniture and that’s it, to be honest I was really hoping that the game was kinda like the sims and Avakin Life game were your avatar can interact with all the future, get a job, or customize your character/ avatar the way you want and same with the house. Overall the storyline is really good. Hopefully the game will get more updates soon. The only thing I hate is how the game makes you join a crew or add friends so you can move on to the next objective which is very frustrating. But overall you guys made a very interesting game so I hope that there will be more interactions, being able to see and move your avatar to the locations you want and interacting with anything.

Amazing Game but now it’s just meh
Tue Mar 14 2023 Taasg

Started playing the game 4 months ago bc of an ad I saw on tik tok and it was going great but the devs seem to ignore when someone is genuinely bullying or harassing other players in the game and silence the ones who speak up. The first week I played the game there was a predator that was reported but ATA devs did nothing. Pretty unprofessional in response to players that have concerns. To me it also looks like the devs seem to only prioritise the top players and some of those top players make the game unenjoyable for those that just started and it makes them quit. In your discord, you guys seem to ignore a lot of concerns from many players and it seems like you don’t really care much about the game. The newest update made the game go from amazing to meh. I hope you guys actually permanently ban players that others say are predators bc it seems you guys pick and choose what to follow in your policy. Some of the responses I see from the devs are also just very unprofessional. The server merges also make everything overcrowded and I have seen many complain about these merges but nothing has been done. Have you ever wondered why the servers you’re merging are dead in the first place? Great way to lose players btw. Anyways I hope you guys actually listen to your players because I think the game has great potential but for now it’s not going so great. I also advise new players to be careful bc there are predators in the game that when reported won’t get kicked by the devs 🙂

Major bugs
Thu Mar 07 2024 I'm way too bored

Haven’t been able to get past the first task since downloading this game a couple of days ago. I was able to select an avatar and click the clean option for the first room, but that’s as far as it lets me go (outside of viewing that single room). Can’t move the screen around, if that’s even an option usually. Can’t open the task to talk to Gigi, and if I haven’t yet clicked on anything I can open the phone, but that’s it. Once opening it I can’t click on anything in the phone, nor will it let me exit out of it. Plus, the little indicator when pressing/clicking on things is still there, so I know that me clicking on things is being processed, but nothing is happening. Again, have had this game for a few days and no matter how many times I close and reopen the game, nothing changes. (also, I can view the chat at the bottom of the screen, but I also can’t access that). Won’t give this 1 star since I have yet to even play the game, but I feel like this is quite a large bug that one would think would be fixed rather quickly, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Unless others have yet to mention this happening to them too?

Not worth Spending Money on
Wed Sep 06 2023 BreezyB_02

It’s a decent and fun game if you find an active crew of ppl to play with. But honestly don’t waste your money cause the developers don’t give a crap about the gamers and possibly the game. I’ve been playing this game for almost a year now and they are more concerned with getting new players than advancing the mechanics to allow players a chance to keep growing. You can’t grow past lvl 25 for some reason. Also, I have roomies who are maxed out their talents yet I continue getting talent pops for them instead of for other roomies I need. Gamers have thrown so many ideas their way to try and advance the game to keep dedicated player’s interested but they are more concerned with updating the visual aspects of the game vs the mechanics of the game. Sad shame cause I really enjoyed this game. But like many others who have maxed out on their grown potential I will be quitting soon. 😢

Pay to advance game
Mon Oct 31 2022 LadiiTway

When I first saw the game like many others probably thought “oh wow it’s kind of looks like the sims but social.” It’s not like that at all. If you play PIMD then you already know. You don’t get to customize your own character or move in the game. You just upgrade your house, upgrade roommates or send them to do task. There’s a world chat, crew chat, and PM’s. Every time you open the app you are ambushed with some in game purchase option! It’s like that with all their games. It takes forever to upgrade your house because it’s on a time limit like 15 minutes to 6 or more hours. Same thing with the academy learning. Of course you can spend real money if you want to advance but it’s not worth it. I spent $2 on this game and I wouldn’t again. PIMD I spend more than I will admit lol. Honestly I’m going to uninstall the game.

Drama /harassed game
Fri Oct 04 2024 mayaiha

When I start playing this game it was fun it was cool to meet new ppl but when it come to bullying making they own rules constantly hitting lower players it’s frustrating and becoming boring make you not even want to play anymore ppl talk about ppl they never meet in they life ppl spend a lot of money on this game just to be a higher player to bully this game is boring now it need new severs and ata need to care about how this can be bullying on this game but ata don’t thinking hitting you 400 times over and over is not harassment or bullying which it is when his multiple players playing it’s hard to grown when you not spending money to be a higher player I hope yall can do better and understand how lower players feel when they always getting attacked how you expect someone to enjoy a game

“BULLY City” is more appropriate!
Mon Oct 21 2024 GIZSMO666

This app game promotes BULLYING at an all time high! Expressing your concerns with the developers does nothing! I have witnessed a crew that goes by the name of “69” threatening to do physical harm to others players. Telling people to go “unalived” themselves. This crew bullies their way around in any server they land in, causing trouble and strife with other players because they are whales aka “big spenders” in the game. What’s hilarious is they never pick on those who are high ranking as them, but they surely get a kick out of stealing resources from low ranking players which are called “littles” or “babies” of the servers. Every server these bully 69 people join gets dismantle because of all the trouble they cause. But when I saw a grown man threatening to “pull up” to a young lady’s house to “smack” her, I knew that was my time to uninstall this app! That time of behavior is disturbing and disgusting. Do yourself a favor and NEVER download this app!

unsafe environment, horrible community management
Sun Mar 19 2023 xbrittanyhampton

Played this game for a while and previously rated much higher due to enjoyment of the actual game mechanics, but it’s becoming clear that the developers have no interest in keeping the community a safe space for their players. The social aspect of this game is the only reason to keep playing, yet every day it gets so much worse to even enter the chat. Predators run rampant on this app and are not banned even when reported. On top of this, there are so many straight up abusive people on here - you would not believe some of the awful things said in public chat. Racism and homophobia are at the top of the list and yet anyone who stands up for themselves will get silenced, not the aggressors. I’ve read things from people wishing r*pe and harm/violence upon other players’ children and nothing happens. These people go unscathed but when people speak up or call predators out, they are silenced for “defamation” even when it can be proven. Community support claims they reach out for more details to confirm allegations of abuse, but this is a flat out LIE. Support team is highly unprofessional in help tickets and in the official Discord. The Discord itself is like the wild wild west. It is so horrible because there is absolutely no moderation and zero community management. Questions and suggestions to developers go completely unacknowledged all the time; the only actual support is from fellow players of the game. There is a clear bias from their team against certain players and groups, and if they don’t like you they will make it very clear in their interactions and words- even so far as an employee publicly calling a player and a crew “toxic” in the game’s official Discord server and attacking them directly. Super disappointed in such poor moderation and community management. The game itself is not bad and the style is nice. Unfortunately, it’s not worth risking your mental health on a daily basis to endure not only the toxicity of the game chat but the lack of professionalism from developers.
