Can someone help me figure out how to get the free cheats to work?

Try opening a menu page or using the targeted cheat to see it change. For example, use the money cheat and then buy something.

Hey guys,

the game just received an update and we need to adjust the cheats to the new version. It's on our to-do list.

Thanks for your help. I guess this game is still in flux with lots of updates.

Thank you for your patience, the latest version is now available and all cheats should work again.
