can't update this game cos my tablet isn't compatible ::( plz help
Does not load
I enjoyed this game for months. The offline mode was great during flights and long train rides. The greedy developers decided to kill the offline mode. All the worst, stay alone
used to be good till they added ads to it
Everytime I redownload this game to try and play I never get past the loading screen. It seems to be stuck loading forever.
years ago I paid for the game, now its free with ads.... well why do I have ads if I paid? I don't kind it being free for others to play. but my version should of stood with NO ADS. makes little to no sense to have an "updated version" that has ads. when I paid.
bad can't open the game
i keep getting stuck at the loading screen. terrible. saw other reviews saying the same. why isnt this fixed yet
literally doesnt run
The ads are extremely invasive. So invasive, I'd call this game an adware/PuP bundler. Ads dominate the screen (a norm these days) but I've had it enter a loop where it ultimately forces me to download software. I play this with my kids because he likes it. I played this when it first came out. The game is predatory, and it's a shame to see the level of trickery from a game that is popular for children - especially one as established as this.
I give 1 star cuz there is only 3 lawnmower instead of 5
Ads, pay to play. It was good at some point when popcap owned it.
game is good but i bought ingame coins and i never got the coins so feel scammed i want a refund
won't load the game ive re downloaded it and still won't get past the loading screen
it ain't the same as before if you are reading this you will get bombarded with ads this just became a game like the other it's the specialty is possessed is gone dont play it
this game stop working
I love this game yeah daddyy💦
game is not opening after installing...
it doesn't work for me. every time when I installed it still didn't workin|:(
لعبه من سوق الحمير
it won't load on an S25+ and I love this game tbh
I am downloading this new update for 40 minutes but I was playing modded and then I can't play it caption = I hate this app or game
game lags almost everytime on the loading page
Does not load
why ain't it loading bruv
glitches, cactus plants don't rise to pop balloon zombies, have screenshots but can't send them anywhere, the "help" option just leads to a criminal forum 😒
I downloaded Uninstalled it and re-download it and all it does is, is it stays stuck on the loading screen and won't go no further been waiting 5 minutes before getting off it. kinda disappointed wanted to play it since I haven't played it in years
this game has become an ad infested abomination that barely resembles the game i grew up with
way too many ads. play for a minute, watch ads for 5. UNISTALL..... update....still sucks.....maybe a few more ads would be nice
ok this is nice besides the fact that im playing on pc and i cant do anything
Game is not starting at all on my S25 Ultra. The grass rolls very slowly till the end and even then nothing.
won't load, phones are samsung 26 plus
fix the crashing issue, i lost my progress when i load back into survival endless it suddenly crashing I have to clear all the data to back into normall
The game is definetly five stars, but this version is a downgrade, and I can't in good concience award max score to popcap making an effort to make a worse version of the original masterpiece by adding ads and junk. That said still legendary, play offline for no ads and enjoy this genious pice of modern gaming history. edit: some of your mowers are disabled unless you watch an add PER MOWER and the worst part? if you do it last second it doesn't work, but the add still rolls. Uninstalling
HORRENDOUS loading time
if I tru to open survival fog it crashes
A fun game, but going down to three lawnmowers is a dick move, bring it back up to five and I'll give you five stars.
Takes way too long to load and everytime I watch the videos to gain extra items like lawnmowers or rakes I never receive the reward.
I remember the seed packets being taller than this+the graphics aren't as good as replanted, nor before+I can't get sun by dragging anymore(?!)+give doomshroom a buff+make a Netflix version game so it saves, even if the phone is broken and your using another/a different phone because I'm sad for my data loss. I was at fog. ),: plz fix ur game 'cap.
this app was very nostalgic and good but after i was in adventure 3 it just deleted all my data and now i am starting the game all over again. why?! can anyone please help me? i cant reload my progress helppp
