Greetings Mayors, Bring your city to life with the all new Tokyo Town update! Tokyo Town features brand new buildings, flashing billboards and a new landmark – Himeji Castle! Llama Cargo Airlines is in town and they are interested in a partnership with your city, Mayor. Build the brand new airport to import neighborhood tokens for your Tokyo Town residential district! SimCity BuildIt is now playable on iPhone 4! Improved performance Request bubbles now display if the Mayor has the required items Improved user experience when reconnecting your game to a social media account Improved data layer visualizations for services, specializations, factory coverage and more! It is now possible to request new plans after one of Dr. Vu’s disaster missions. You can now re-advertise your items on the Global Trade HQ. Keep a lookout for the hot air balloons and blimps that fill the sky! Plus various bug fixes and behind the scenes improvement for a more enjoyable gameplay experience! Happy building, Mayors!

The only change I see to the Global Trade HQ is that you changed the ding message to "We are terribly sorry to inform you that the item is no longer available." with a "return to Global Trade HQ" button so I can experience even more disappointment. Really? That's the best you can do?

Visiting neighbours has slowed down extremely and is very choppy. Also my city crashes more.The Neighbours Bar still lists each city's population, as if I care! That is useless info. What I would like to know is if that city has anything for sale, and if so, how many items, how many times I have bought from them, how many times they have bought from me. And why are the cities listed in order of population size?!? Again useless. At least alphabetical order would enable me to find a city I am looking for.

The difficulty and delay of winning tokio items made the game lose the will to play.

At this point I wouldn't recommend anyone who is short on funds to pony up for the airport. It is pretty worthless the way it is set up at this point. Very demanding orders to fill, 17 hours between planes (why is a plane slower than a ship?), and 1 reward item for completing the shipment. And that item is not even very valuable. If you're lucky, it will be one you need to build your Tokyo residence up one level.The GTHQ is still pretty much unusable.The rest of the changes seem good. Load time and city to city travel is faster (but for what good when they don't have the item you were after), though I'm seeing more crashes out of game while "shopping".Still the question....Why did we go to 1 key per Vu building? Things are slow enough that it should not be necessary to wind it down to a snail's pace using slow key generation and an even slower airport usefulness.

My thoughts, for what it's worth, about the update:GOOD•Animation I don't know about you, but part of what makes the game fun for me is the animation. The addition of the frequent blimp appearances is really quite wonderful. And although I have only completed one shipment via cargo plane, I love the airport. To me, it's well worth the money just to see the planes take off and land. (I have yet to see a blimp and a plane have a near-collision, though). Really great job, EA guys!•Dr. Wu challenges. The option to request new disaster demands was exactly what was needed.•Marketplace. The marketplace shows more variety. I'm not among those clamoring for a search function. First of all, I think the challenge of the game dissipates if you can buy items too easily. The priority should be building them and training the player to be patient. It also requires a certain level of skill and I also think the search function won't solve the biggest problem: The high-demand items (such as dozer blades) will remain impossible to get because they will be grabbed before you get to the person's marketplace.•Little changes. The new dialog boxes, the checkmarks next to selling suggestions, the new way rewards pop up are all nice changes for the better.BAD•Crashes. The game crashes more on my iPad when I go to the marketplace. I'm sure this is a bug fix.•Shipping demands. This has got to be the No. 1 annoyance for me right now. Every once in a while, I get a shipment demand that is impossible to fulfill. 44 nails? Really? As others have said, getting one key for these shipping orders makes it hardly worth it. Yes, programmers can increase the demands a notch higher than before. But why not up the rewards too?

Look to the left of the Global Trade HQ. Click on the circular drive that looks like a storage lot and you'll be prompted to build the airport. I got a cryptic message about going to the airport site and couldn't find what it was until I ventured online.

I like the new changes. I do have to say though my game does crash a lot since this update. Black screen and then back to my phone's desktop. I have a Nexus 5.
And I'm sorry to say the Global Trade HQ still sucks balls. It reacts better (before dragging after opening would do nothing, or open the first ever city I put my finger on to start swiping), that's gone now, nice! But I still don't get why the city of the seller needs to be loaded. By the time all that's done, the item I wanted to buy is long gone.

After this update was impossible to make new keys. Ship orders are well difficult, should be producing items, 2 boxes, and only 1 case with manufacturing item. So also in charge of the aircraft.
The game is getting very complicated.

I definitely agree that the ship orders are suddenly much more demanding. I've always filled every order in the past, but yesterday for the first time I didn't even bother to try; what they were asking for was just ridiculous.
