Australia must be too, because I've been playing for a week now.
It's playable without having to make in-app purchases, it just takes a lot longer, and you're more at risk of having buildings abandoned.
Got a tip for us?

That's their problem then.
I have played a lot of F2P games and never spent a penny, much like you.
I confess to having bought the feature that lets you move frog eggs out of the nursery into one of your other habitats in Pocket Frogs. And I think I might have bought either a packet of stamps or potions once during the early rounds. The stamps or potion buy was a complete cave-in to impatience, but the other thing seemed reasonable because it's such an impediment to have to wait for high-value eggs to hatch, especially if you have plenty room in the other habitats. I didn't really mind paying for it. If you play the game on another device, that ability to transfer eggs is one of the purchases that you don't have to buy again. Stamps and potions don't work that way, however. Makes sense but anyway I never bought stamps and potions again. Patience became my tactic. I don't have any other games with in-app purchases. I can see how parents could find them extremely annoying.
I deleted mine a few hours after I got into my second row of houses. I don't like it for the same reason I don't like Sims FreePlay. These games would work much better in zen mode rather than mission.
I'm shocked MR hasn't ran a story on X-Plane 10 for iOS. It's such an improvement and much more social-based than their last versions, and this is just junk!
I hated Sim City
I read the reviews and still gave their last game a shot. Played it a few times and never looked back. I don't see myself downloading this one regardless of it's freemium label.
