I figured I would post my e-mail to Funzio that I sent a couple of weeks ago. I haven't gotten a response (of course), but I figured I would see what the players/developers here thought.
Dear Funzio:
I have been a loyal player of Crime City on my iPad since December 2011 and I have a lot of time invested in this game, and I don't mean any disrespect here, but I ask: do you beta test your new releases before they're released? I ask this because it seems that each new release is buggier than the last, and it's gotten so bad with this last release that I finally feel compelled to speak out. Here are my complaints with this last release:
First, and most importantly, the app has become so crash-prone that I doubt each time I rob or fight someone that I will actually collect my winnings. It crashes most when I am robbing a property or in the middle of a fight; this last time, just 20 minutes ago, I lost over $19,000 dollars that I had won in the previous fight that had been uncollected (it was sitting in the street). It also seems that many of the crashes occur when I am at an especially lucrative property, and I am robbing the first property.
The second is that item and special event items (ATMs, for instance) have lost their icons. This is minor in comparison to the first, but I still find it noteworthy. Additionally, a count is no longer displayed above the icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.
I hope that you will take the time to read this e-mail and take action on these disruptive bugs. It is really frustrating to have so much time invested in a game and it crash approximately five times a day, especially when I am losing lots of potential in-game money because of it.
Many thanks, and I hope to hear back from you soon,
