If you could share one tip you've learned to help others...

I always sign out of my town-origin when there is an App Store update, then update. That way if it's a glitchy update I usually check the forum before I sign in. Been caught too many times in App Store updates that don't work quite right. Another thing I do is I have two towns and visit neighbours in tandem on two devices. It's way faster to collect at the same time then to visit neighbours in one town then visit on second town.
