DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP FOR YOUR CHILD!!!
UPDATED 4.25.16
This app has become a dating app for children. Kids are always on here asking others to "date" them by typing "123" or whatever. The coordinates are given and they meet and pretend to start a family and build houses and towns, etc., but most of the time they never get that far. They are too busy "making out" and saying sexually explicit things that should never be seen by my 9 year old cousin who introduced me to this game. She plays with her friends on this app and Ive seen several other kids admit their ages on here and that seems to be the age of the typical user.
To the developers credit, he has blocked out several words, but users always find ways around it either by adding a space or a dot somewhere in the word. (This is no longer true. Several swear words and sexually explicit words previously blocked out have been re-enabled by the developer for children to use.) Ive reported dozens of users by taking screenshots of the things being said and he mutes their accounts. Too bad that doesnt keep them from creating new accounts and continuing with their filth. The developer always keeps close contact and seems to be very serious about removing garbage from the app, but he seems to be limited as to what he can do.(This is no longer the case. The developer ignores all reports of sexual activity and chat abuse and allows users to continue abusing the game.) Then if it isnt reported, nothing can be done about it.
The game itself is fun. You can build things and get creative until someone comes along and destroys what youve built. This app has potential to be a creative outlet for kids, but it is still a minefield. Dont let your kids play this unless youve been on it to see what happens first!
*** UPDATE 12.3.15
I have taken screen shots of several users asking others to "get nasty" with them as well as lots of graphic sexually explicit language to the developer in an effort to have these users banned since children are regulars on this app. It has been 48 hours since Ive last reported these users and they are still there and are still using the app to solicit sexual conversations with anyone (which may include children) who will engage a conversation with them. The developer will not respond to my requests to have these users banned. Ive even sent a request on the developers "Builder Buddy" app and the conversation was immediately terminated with no response other than an automated message that said something along the lines of "not all users are bad but sometimes we have a few who ruin it for the rest of us." But nothing has been done at all.
This app enables SEXUAL PREDATORS to have access to children without any consequences. My reports seem to have become a nuisance to the developer. Obviously the protection of the children who are regulars on this app are not on the list of priorities for this developer.
I will be filing a report with Apple.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!!
*** Update 4.25.16
I have monitored this app every day for the last week and every hour there are new users having sexually graphic conversations. There are more and more users discovering that they can abuse the chat feature without any consequences. There are several inappropriate words that used to be blocked out that have now been enabled again by the developer. Ive emailed the developer several times, with no replies whatsoever. The developer clearly has no problem producing an app for children and adults to have cybersex. Im reporting to Apple to have this app removed asap. The FBI may also need to get involved!!! Robledo Software has created a safe haven for pedophiles!
