A waste
There's noting cute, fun or relaxing about a game that is nothing but ads
Way to may Ads...
The Game is cute, I will give you that.
There is no proper tutorial to guide you through what you are supposed to do.
Two days in, and all it seems is an ad for this an ad for that...plants and coins with a Bear. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
As you continue, even without accepting an Ad for extra tools or resources, you are bombarded with another Ad...Super Creeeeepy ones.... 😳
Frustrating...and very uncomfortable.
Also, not available to play offline.
Cute but with annoying ads way too many interruptions.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
ps: Panders to the woke crowd.

Frustrating
This game is cute, and it had the potential to be really fun, but there are SO MANY ads that it’s functionally unplayable. I’ve finished one forced ad, made one click to collect coins, and been immediately put back into another ad. I haven’t even finished the first room/showroom because I can’t do anything. You have to pay to remove forced ads, but I’m not spending five dollars just to make a game playable. it’s ridiculous.
Too many ads, not like the ad says
Not worth it
Bait & switch ads
Ads show adopting cute animals. It’s a tap farm game cash grab game with too many ads
What about the cats?
Man I came to this game because my add showed me people hatching cute little cats. WHERES THE CATS? Why did you have me fall in love with this cute lil orange cat with a watermelon balloon tied to it just for me to download the game and it not even be in there. I wanted to hatch kitties :/
fun game or just an ad revenue dream? INAPPROPRIATE ADS!
I’ve been enjoying this game for a few months now however.. they went from 10s ads to 2min ads REAL quick🤦🏻♀️this is a game that pushes and almost requires the ad watching. I’m tired of AI p*rn game ads ALL THE TIME. Is this not a kids game?… I understand some apps need the money from ads but this has to be a joke. Would you be happy if your child was playing an iPhone game like this that showed them AI P*RN GAME ADS?? Pushing these very very inappropriate images/scenes on them over and over and over and over, with the gratification of receiving new items or money in the game? Like what…
Nothing but a greedy cash grab
WAAAAY too many ads & paid content is stupidly priced for what you get. Just another greedy cash grabbing game that isn’t worth your time…
boring
cute graphics but the game is just boring. you basically just have to wait for money then buy upgrades to get more money so you can customize your room. but the only customization you can do is with your character in the first 3 minutes of the game. you cannot customize the rooms yourself and have to buy the furniture the game tells you too. there are no alternative ways to make money or design the rooms yourself which makes the game utterly pointless. when i downloaded this game i kept playing just to see if i could unlock new parts of the game or something but i have played enough of this game to write an honest review. i came to look at the reviews for this game to see if others had the same observations and opinions as me and was shocked when i saw how high these ratings really were. please dont waste your time on this useless, mind numbing game.
Ads are annoying
If I continue to get redirected instead of the ad ending the ad shouldn’t be in the game. The last plague ad needs removed because it makes you fight with your phone instead of being able to just click the x.
Game is broken
I thought this game was really cute and planned to spend a lot of time on it, and even purchased the no forced ads option. Now it just loads forever and won’t actually open the game. Refund me.
from what I can tell, YOU don’t really decorate.
I didn’t play very far but from what I can tell you don’t even really decorate/choose where stuff goes.
ads
90% ads 10% gameplay
I got this game and it was bad
The game wasn’t what it advertised and full of adds. Hard to level up and barely any content. 😩 not cute and cozy it’s just boring.
Fun, but waaaay too many ads
I understand apps need a way to make a profit, and part of the way they do it is by displaying ads, but in this case it’s entirely too much to the point that it makes an otherwise really fun game unenjoyable. I can’t handle only being able to play 30 seconds before another 30-40 second ad pops up before I can play another 30 seconds and the cycle repeats. It’s ridiculous.
Not worth it
For a game that claims to be relaxing it has no problem with forcing adds down your throat every 15 seconds it’s a waste of time and doing the opposite of says it’s about
I’m tired of the ads
I stopped playing for a while because there was too many ads and I’ve tried to start playing again but it takes so long to level up anything and there’s ads literally everywhere like all over the screen and I’m sick of it.
Ads
The games fine but of course the ads ruin it and you have to pay to get rid of them.
Nothing like the ad.
The add had animals u were feeding and hatching ? I’m confused.
Too many ads.
I’ve played for an hour and there are so many ads that I decided to start keeping track. In 20 minutes I had 9 ads. Almost half the time playing is watching ads. I am not including ads that you watch to get things. I think everything is really cute and I love the colors and art style, but to get everything faster or to get any perks you have to watch an ad which is fine on its own, but not that plus an ad literally every 2 minutes.
Annoying
OMG ADD EVERY FIVE SECONDS I CANTTTTT
Cute Idol - but Too Many Ads
A forced ad pops up every 60 seconds of game time. So, in essence it’s good for the 60 seconds to upgrade your garden & then quit the app once the ad pops up. Of course, the first couple hours of gameplay you won’t see any ads. The decor system doesn’t make sense - there isn’t really a tutorial. And there isn’t a way to buy decor from any of the idle money you earn. So you have to spend level-up and reward cash or real money which means it will be very hard to even try and compete in the decor competitions.
Cute but boring and ad riddled
There’s very little character customization and you can’t really customize your home/area much either. The gameplay is 90% farmer coin collecting and it takes over an hour or two to get enough coins to make any money (less than $80 an hour) so you have to sit and farm coins for hours on end just to buy one piece of furniture, and that’s WITH the ad boosts. Even if you don’t pick the ad centered boosts there’s an ad every minute or two.
Just too many ads.
I’ve bought ad passes in the past, for games I’ve gotten to play a lot. I can’t really enjoy the game so why would I bother paying 10 dollars for it? It’s such a shame since it’s so cute, I really like games that allow me to choose when to watch them for small boosts or rewards… it just feels bad when I just watched one ad willingly and get forced to sit through another less than 30 seconds later. Uninstalled. Really disappointing.
Too Many Ads.
Non stop ads. It’s too much. Actually a very cute game animations wise. Every time you get a little rhythm going, ADS! Mindless repetitive gameplay. Would be really good for kids.
Has so much potential:|
I really love this game, but the amount of ads are ridiculous and makes what the creators actually prioritize questionable. It’d be great to be able to earn rewards through something like mini games or actually PLAYING the game but you’re practically forced to watch ad after ad for anything at all. Also this is a cozy game, one that kids will use, yet you play sexual ads for chat bots and etc. The lack of character customization is also quite disappointing, there are so many unique workers yet the ones we create have almost no options. This could be a great game, but the reliance on ads makes it difficult to enjoy.
