Timed games and too many ads
I was really liking this game until I realized it was timed and every time the timer runs out you need to watch an ad to continue…this on top of the other ads you have to watch. If this game wasn’t timed, I would not have deleted it, but I have too many interruptions to want to play any game that is timed. I can handle some ads, but the timer is a deal breaker.
Makes you pay for no ads
This app is marketed as having no ads, but eight levels in it tells you that you either need to pay $9.99 to continue with no ads or have ads for the rest of the game. Disappointing and false marketing.
How do I restore my game?
I was trying to sync my account to my iPad and when I signed in with Apple, rather than restoring my purchases/progress, it gave me a new account. I’m really NOT happy to be back at the beginning after over a year.
Not worth it
It’s 100% impossible to win majority of rounds without purchasing extra, and often still doesn’t help. Worse than online gambling - just flush your money down the toilet. Of course, all these games are programmed to make you spend money, but this one is especially terrible.
HATE the update
I’ve been playing this game for a couple of years now and I’ve loved it up until the recent updates. The new update makes it impossible to see what flower you need to match because it’s blocked out. This game was fun but I hate the new update so much, I’ve actually deleted the game.
Becomes Impossible
I’ve had this game for a long time. At first I loved it. But over time the only way to win a level is to watch multiple ads. And now ads interrupt levels. I’m done. You guys ruined a good thing. After years of playing, I deleted the game from my phone today.
Sad update
New team event is rotten and they did away with the daily game. Don’t update if you have the older version
Game has gone downhill
I really enjoyed the game and played daily. Recently developers made changes to remove daily spin to watch ads in exchange for perks and the complete 7 levels for extra coins features. Replacements make it too difficult to earn any bonuses. There were already so many ads, but the trade off seemed fair. Now it’s just ads and no bonuses. Will stop playing as much. Really disappointed.
Constant Midgame Ads
I played this game for years? They recently introduced ads during game play, so during a timed game an ad will pop up multiple times.
Frustrated even more
They changed the game and now it is played by timer whereas the old game did not. It is in no way relaxing because of this. Most of these reviews are older.
Heating up my phone like crazy
I have loved playing this game to distract myself but every time I play this, my phone overheats so bad I worry something is happening to my phone battery. It’s been like this for months & was hoping there would be a fix for that by now. I’ve tried selecting “feedback” in the app settings but it says I don’t have internet connection but obviously I do.
Ads pop up through the game so you can not play
Ads keep popping up through the game itself and I have sent complaints to the game with absolutely no response!
Not the game as advertized
I downloaded this game. It is not what the ad showed. I deleted it.
No Longer Relaxing n Fun!
When I got this game it was a nice fun game. Now it is very stressful! I’ve been stuck on 1 level for 2 days bc the timer is too low n I can’t pay to play(which is what developers want)! A lot of these type games r geared towards “seniors” as fun n relaxing, well I’m a “senior” n it’s too stressful to relax n enjoy anymore! Guess it’s time to move on n try to find a better more fun n relaxing game bc this one ain’t it!
Ads, No Support Team, & Bugs
I played this game years ago and loved it at first, but at level 170 the game became literally impossible to beat. As there is no support team, I’d quit and uninstalled the game. Recently, I decided to give it one last try just to see if they fixed my issue. Now it has even more problems. I know this game needs ads to support itself, but the ads are almost always 1-2 minutes long. That’s ridiculous. By that point, I might as well play a different game. There’s also ads that show up in the middle of gameplay (not when asking for a power up) and the candy crush ad is impossible to close. Plus these ads don’t stop your timer. Your timer is still going while this ad you can’t escape from is present. I’m forced to restart the game where I lose whatever in game money and power ups were used on that level. I have an anxiety disorder and games are one of my only ways I’m able to destress. This game only increases stress! I swear, if this game has the same issue at level 170 as last time, I will quit the game and avoid the entire company that made it! The ads also lie to you; the game is not what the ads lead you to believe! What liars!
Ad is false
Ad states no timer to lure people in then you download and find out they lied. Deleted
Beware
The game itself is quite fun, but thn I started getting multiple charges on my account for things I did not buy. So beware. Keep checking your charge account for charges. I ended up removing the the app completely.
Good game/Greedy practices
Do not get involved with this game. It’s fun and challenging as you go. But the developer has such egregious practices, it’s practically unusable. Ads are now popping up random during game play. Ads load between every round and even if you decline extra points for watching an ad, you’ll get it anyway. It’s just too much. Stay away.
Long Adds Really long Adds
I do not know why you think this game is special! Your ads are literally three and four times longer than any game out there! There is no reason for this. It is going to be the same ad next time. You were going to show the same ad next time, why do we have to take four minutes to watch an ad? This is despicable. This is disgusting. Is it because you cannot create enough content stop making us watch three and four minute ads over and over and over again! Do better.!!!!!
Lies
The add I saw said there was not timer just a stress free game. It lied there is a timer and no way to turn it off
Overheating my phone
Every time I play now my phone starts to overheat. This just started with in the last couple weeks. When will you all come out with a fix???
Was fun-not anymore!
Used to just have to deal with ads after each level played whether you chose “ad” or not. Just had shorter ads if you chose not. Now, I have been getting ads IN the levels. At 3 in one level (maybe 2 moves between ads), I’ve QUIT! I’m deleting this game now. They want you tied to FB with it, too, which I won’t do.
Same as the others
These "sorting" games are designed to make you watch the ads if you want to win. That gets them revenue and that's what this game is all about. Just like all the other games similar to this. If you watch an ad that recommends this game, whatever they tell you is happening in the game is a lie. These are lies that they tell you to make you download the game BECAUSE THEY MAKE MONEY! It doesn't matter if you find out eventually, because they made money on you before you did find out. I know a liar when I see one. So I'm going to go delete the game right now. I'm not playing these kinds of games anymore.
Only way to win is PAY!
Ridiculous, the only way to win is to pay. Deleting game today! Developers have been getting more greedy all the time.
Deceptive pay to play
I wish they didn’t ruin the game by making it completely unplayable. There’s levels where I would lose right away just because of how the challenges spawned like butterflies etc. then every few levels they add even more challenges like I literally just downloaded the game and a few hours later I’m crying that the initially fun game became totally a money grab and completely ruined. Deleted. I would have watched ads and maybe payed a little but this is just predatory when my actual skill means nothing at all cuz if you don’t pay you cannot win by any means… booo
😞
It said no timer or ads, not true. Deleted the app!
Lie in Ads. Slimy
Ad said “so relaxing, no timer at all”. This is false advertising & gross.
Loved it until….
The ad for this game said no ads, no WiFi, and I thought finally a game I can actually play and not be bombarded with ads. Well, they lied. Such a disappointment because I really enjoy playing.
Not the same game
I deleted this from my phone because I couldn’t get it to open. When I reinstalled the game it is NOT the same. It is similar with the rooms and the tools look the same but the one I was playing had flower growth and a daily calendar game and I apparently shouldn’t have deleted it in the first place but What is going on????
Do not purchase the ad free add on you can’t cancel it
I really enjoyed the game I even purchased it to be ad free but once I wanted to cancel since I got bored of the game there is no way I can do it. On the terms and agreement it states that I can cancel subscription on the app itself but when I searched around I did not find any cancellation button. I even checked the website for the app and all it has is contacts for the people who purchase ads in the game.
It’s such a shame too because this game was fun..

This game sucks
I hate this timed game. I wanted relaxing and all I got was stress trying to beat the clock. I don’t to try and beat a timer, I just want to enjoy the game. I’m deleting this obvious grab for money cause you can’t beat it without spending $$$
Not cozy or relaxing
Game has ads but not ridiculous. I would consider this game more challenging. Higher levels are going to cost real money to complete.
Frustrating
It may have been fun in the beginning, bug now I’m having constant ads some even popping up in the middle of the game and then they automatically disappear without rewards or anything. It’s one thing if I’m asking because I need more time or more money or whatever but it’s frustrating when it’s in the middle of the game plus half the time these ads send you to the black zone where you can’t even get back into the game so then you have to totally close it all out and of course you have to start all over again and I may have been near the end of my game. I tried to find a place where I could talk to somebody about these and find out if there’s a way to get around not losing your whole game, but of course there’s no way to contact anybody that I could find.
Misleading
Unlike the advertisement
Pay a lot
Enjoyable but can’t pass level 10 without coins. You don’t get all the matching flowers to sort - new ones appear as you make matches. And some are “frozen” in ice, so you have to buy coins to break the ice. Or buy a “shuffle” and hope you get new flowers you need
Stop the Ads!
I like this game, but the ads popping up in the middle of playing is ruining the experience. I would pay for no ads, but there is no option to do so.
Was a 5 until….
Was a great app. U til the game is interrupted with dumb, useless ads. Deleting
Took away Bingo
I left a positive review because they brought back Bingo, and then they promptly took it away :( I guess I’ll find a new game to play.
Fun.. until it isn’t
This app has so much potential, but I just spent three whole weeks stuck at level 270 because I’m unwilling to pay money to get past its difficulty. I have really enjoyed earning points from flower sorting to restore/decorate all the rooms, but these almost impossible levels happen frequently at the higher levels and it has become more stressful than fun.
False advertisements, and more stressful to you and your eyes than anything.
From what I recall of the advertising, they claimed this game was ad free, or timer free. It is not. Ads are located between (to their credit quite long) levels, and they also add a timer. Alongside the fact that you can easily get yourself stuck with no matches, it makes this game more stressful than calming. The most annoying part is how similar all the flowers are. Telling the difference between a red flower with many petals and a slightly darker red flower many petals is incredibly annoying. Combine this with flowers being dimmer and transparent and hidden behind the flowers in front of them, and you have an absolute mess of game design on your hands. I could barely drag myself through playing enough of this to write a review, but at least the flower collectible menu is cute, and the customizable room is neat.
Not sure
I’ve had this app for awhile but now, in the middle of a game, random advertisements all of a sudden pop up- ANNOYING!!!
Ive deleted the app and reloaded a few times and still keeps happening!!!

Boosters For Sale
This game is pretty, expensive. Very few boosters available, unless you pay. I play games to earn money like a lot of other people. I’m not able to pay for boosters with 74 cents in my PayPal. It’s annoying especially since I already contribute in ad revenue. Just saying!
TOO MANY ADS
It's starts out ok but as you go and not long into the game, you have to constantly watch ads for other games to move on. So much so, that I am looking for a different game to enjoy now. Disappointing.
Way too may app commercials
The game itself is fun, but when you have to watch so many app commercials it ruins the fun
All Ads
As you get to the upper levels, it’s no longer fun. There are countless ads as you try to get through one game. There’s more ad time than play time. I get that the game should get more difficult as you move along, but this is crazy. Then ads start popping up in the middle of the game. Not fun anymore!!
Ads!
I love this game and i used to be where you can choose to watch an ad for an extra reward but now there are sooo many ads even in the middle of the game! It’s the weirdest thing!
Ads for rewards are too long
The ads to get a time reward are way too long compared to other games. They also make noise and override the phones silent mode. Most ads don’t have a selection to make them silent and the developers aren’t correcting this error.
Too many ads
Ads super long too.
Has started glitching
I’ve played this game for some time but now, after a video plays, the game freezes and says something about a prop not being used. I lose all the power ups I used in the game and have to start over I won’t keep playing if this isn’t fixed.
No fun anymore
This used to be my favorite game, but I agree with the others who said you have to pay to win. The changes recently added to the game make it even more challenging and impossible to win. The game is no fun anymore. I wish they would remove those changes.
