Festival Pass Required
For the low, low price of 9.99usd You can read my review of this game. Sounds unreasonable? This is similar to the in-game experience. Buyer beware.
AI Slop Hayday
This game is like if you took hayday, filled it to the brim with microtransactions and only used obviously AI art. Not worth your time or money
Good game but…
It’s a pretty fun game but has one problem that will ultimately make me leave. It’s a time management and team work game and that part is great.
The problem I have is that they make it confusing by putting paid (you bought a season pass for real money) and free tasks together. A quick look at tasks you can do may cause you to do tasks you won’t get any reward for doing. This wastes your time and resources. It’s all jumbled together in a way that makes you feel like you are constantly being ‘upsold’ to make a purchase.
If you don’t mind constant reminders of what you can have if you shell out money this is a great game.

Unfinished game
Another $$ scheme by devs pushing unfinished game onto unsuspecting gamers. Apple either needs to make sure any published game is 100% completed or designate it as a work in progress, preferably with a due date. How would you like it if you bought a published book that wasn’t complete? A car? A house? Once you’re in level 30+s, you realize it’s all repetitive mini-games, storyline development comes to a dead stop, and you wasted your time and possibly money.
Not worth your time Run!!!
This game is not for those looking to play a relaxing building farm game. This game requires you to spend money to advance making free resources scarce and tournament rewards not worth the time. Done even waste your time downloading!!
Would be fun
This game might as well be called bugs r us. Constantly crashes when you zoom in or out. Using Apple Pencil? Forget about it. Hardly works. This the only game I have issues with. I have deleted and re downloaded. I have done all the trouble shoot steps. It’s just a junk game. I will be deleting as it’s not fun having to always restart the game every 5 minutes or less.
Frustratingly glitchy
The game itself has potential to be soothing and engaging. Sadly, it feels as if they didn’t take a lot of time Beta testing. Storyline is already pretty long and snoozy and it takes a lot of time to level up- add to that a bunch of glitches that prevent you from continuing the game and you get an app that you’ll most likely delete after the first 20 glitches.
TOTALLY SUCKS AFTER 20 LEVELS.
Dont bother. Once you get to a certain level no tasks. No agendas. Its stupid
Misleading Progression and Paywall Overload
This game starts off fun and relaxing, but it quickly turns into a frustrating grind unless you spend money. Progress slows down way too fast, and tasks begin to feel repetitive instead of rewarding. The “free to play” experience is honestly misleading because you hit constant paywalls if you want to keep up or actually enjoy the game.
On top of that, the energy system and timers make it feel like the game is controlling your time instead of you playing at your own pace. Events seem designed to push spending rather than skill or strategy.
Overall, it had potential, but the heavy monetization and lack of meaningful progression ruined it for me. Definitely not worth investing time into unless you’re willing to spend money constantly.

Does not work with kash kick
Does not work with kash kick - completed 3 levels and didnt get credit so just quitting
Boring
This game is so boring game ever! The amount of items you need for each delivery is so outrageous! You need 300 wheat, 500 corn, 300 corn bread for one shipment and it takes forever to collect them because on the other side the delivery truck is asking for the same exact things! The stupidest game I have ever played. Also, it took me over 2 weeks to be able to join a stupid league because they were all closed! Why don’t you give option to show only open leagues? Eventually, I paid money and started my own league. There is so much potential to this game but I see a flying every aspect whether there’s like four different farms you have to keep up with and each farm takes forever for you to collect you have to collect other items to be able to buy land. It’s ridiculous. Get out of here. Why do I need three separate lands and then each land requires all this amount of money and all these required items to be able to upgrade them.
Great app game but
I updated the game and it doesn’t load properly. And so it stops.
New update was GARBAGE
They just updated the app today and now the game won’t let me play at all…it loads until 75% then goes back to 60% and gets stuck between those two numbers never loading and timing out with a server error every time. No trouble with my internet it using any other apps but this one :/
Account suspended??
My bank accident took the 1.47 charge as fraud and now support will not get back to me on trying to fix this. Disappointing
False Advertising
The game is absolutely nothing like the ad they used to get me to download it. I don't care if it's a fun game or not, I despite deceptive marketing.

It’s a game
Someone posted that it’s not one of those do things and wait games…it’s EXACTLY that! Plant things…and wait…someone orders something…wait until you can make it…or PAY…etc. Don’t be fooled…pretty much the same as any other farm game.
Expensive Items
I liked this game at first but the items are too expensive to continue without having to purchase. Had to delete it.
Needs a lot of work
Even though the games is fun to play it is a lot of work. The game makers have not finished writing the game so there are dead spots where the storyline is not complete. In the rewards system that is not complete either so you get to a point quickly where you can’t advance any further.
They do come up with lots of ways for you to spend money on the game with minimal real game advancement. Definitely not worth it.

Buggy
I like the game. The graphics are good and the chapter element sets it apart. It is hard to enjoy because it is choppy, regularly freezes and randomly shuts down. I also don't appreciate that one task is to log into FB and the other is to make an irl cash purchase. Players don’t have to, but using that as an incentive to progress is money grubbing and gross.
Mad
How do you get to the homepage. This is ridiculous.
A big scam it should say not a big farm
This is my review for Big Farm Homestead although the game is good, their customer service is not. I was enjoying the game until all of a sudden when I go to play the game, a pop-up box said my account is suspended say I owe money that I purchased something but I did not. I didn’t purchase anything for $5.40 and I didn’t receive anything either. The one and only time I bought anything was $2.69 for a few gems and fine seed that’s it nothing more. I Didn’t get much a response from CS but telling me I gotta pay with no proof that I bought something from them, but I gave them my proof my screenshots . Those who play be careful because you might be next with them falsifying saying you bought something when you didn’t. Just be careful.
We need opt out options please!
I can’t stand all the side adventures that bog down my game. At first it was one, now as I level up more and more appear. If I don’t want to play side games based off holidays, seasons or anything else, I would like them to disappear instead of constantly reminding me they are there. I currently have four of these buggers that will not go away and honestly, it’s making a fun and relaxing game stressful. Pretty sure I’ll be uninstalling if this gets any worse.
Big Farm Homestead
I enjoyed this game and was on a really great team, we dropped from 20 members to 10 because of the different activities that needed participation. Then along came the Horse searching. It was fun and I participated everyday. At the end the horses I had in my corral and the corral disappeared. All that for nothing. I’m out.
No clicks
I actually find a game that I really love to play. The problem is that I can’t click on any of my products. The game worked the first day, now all I can do is move the map around.
Fun but you won’t do much unless you are willing to spend $$$
It’s a fun game, I am quite enjoying myself. You get to have 3 farms, and each will provide a variety of things. My only complaint (and possibly the reason why I will stop playing soon) is you can’t get much done without investing in gems. Boat orders are HUGE (200+ cornbread) and your bakery only produces 20. You can upgrade it of course, but you need population. To build houses, you need plots of land, which require MASSIVE materials (260+) to unlock. You get these materials from the boat/truck orders (see problem above), and you won’t get more that 10-15 in an order.
I don’t mind paying to play, but this game will require you to cash out at least $100 to advance. It’s insane.
Overall, it’s fun, it’s cute, but it’s not a game that will last you forever. Move on to other farm games

Expensive
This game is different from Mobile Harvest, but still aimed at your wallet! The amount of tools and in-game money quickly become almost insurmountable unless you spend real money. The game itself is not bad, kind of fun and challenging. HOWEVER, BigFarm has, as always, put too many restrictions into their design which really takes away from the fun! I can only recommend this game to players with really deep wallets unfortunately. I will not join their ranks!!
Because of the graphics I want to love this game!
If you like a game where for every 10 minutes you play the game you watch about 10 minutes worth of ads This is the game for you!
It’s really sad because it’s got great graphics, it has a great concept of gameplay but their price values are ridiculous. You can’t play this game without buying coins, the hearts you earned for tasks to help you buy items so minimal at lower levels it takes you a complete week to be able to buy anything from their market! And their prices are ridiculous on what they want you to spend for items with gems !
Like I said, I want to love this game, but if you played Sunshine Island, this is Sunshine Island 2.0 for people with wealthy pockets!

Unfinished Game Disguised as a Full Release
Finished Chapter 23 in under 10 days and that’s it. Game over. No new chapters. No goals. No progression. Nothing.
After that, it’s just make food, sell food, make food, sell food on an endless, pointless loop. There is literally nothing to work toward. No challenge. No reward. No reason to keep playing.
This feels like a demo pretending to be a full game. The idea had potential, but they clearly never finished it. Don’t waste your time unless you enjoy farming in circles for absolutely no reason.

Great team game but
I really like the game but it’s to expensive very hard to upgrade my farms . Why is that ? I like the team play. But the products you want us to make cannot do because you can’t buy land or factories
Kinda ugly
Cheap copy of sunshine islands. Graphics are outdated and moving around the map isn’t smooth at all. It’s very choppy. You can’t take your finger and slide around. You have to pick it up and keep pressing and moving.
