The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a free game for iOS, developed and published by Electronic Arts, first released on February 17, 2012. It is a city building game that lets you create your own Springfield. An Android version of Tapped Out will launch a few months after the first release.[1] The game features the original cast. The player can add friends via Facebook Connect, Gmail, their device's contact list and EA's Origin. After the player has added some friends, they can visit their versions of Springfield to complete three tasks each day, which results in more rewards for themselves. The game is compatible on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad 2, iPod touch 3 (3rd generation) or iPod touch (4th generation), and requires iOS 4.0 or later.

To play the game, players need to tap on things in the game. For example, the player wants a list of Bart's jobs, so the player taps on Bart. Also, when placing things in the game, you need to drag it to a space then tap it to place it. When a character does a task, or builds something, a donut can be used to speed up the task. There is an 'Other Springfield' in which the player can help every day and get money and XP in reward. There is a tutorial in the first few levels.
Story
Homer is at Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and instead of working, he is playing a The Happy Little Elves Game game on his MyPad. His negligence results in the Power Plant blowing up. Homer starts rebuilding the town, and is soon aided by other characters.
