Phone calls?!
You have GOT to be kidding me right now!! This is the second time I’ve had a PHONE CALL from you guys promoting your game?! WTAF! I am trying so hard to not drop curse words right now because y’all have CROSSED THE LINE! You have ZERO right to call me; ESPECIALLY about trying to convince me to spend money on your game! I have dropped a LOT of money and there is no reason to phone stalk me for more. You have actually made it so I will no longer be playing your game. I started with the original FarmVille YEARS ago when it was only on Facebook games. So, way to go, Zynga. You lost a LONG TIME player because y’all are greedy af.

Pup race no good
I play this game daily and enjoy it, but I can’t play at all right now, because every time I try to play, it gets stuck in the pup race and won’t let me do anything at all. Please fix this.
Still won’t load on new os
I switched from android to iOS. This game still will not load and support is a joke. They ghost you and don’t resolve anything.
Want to play but glitchy
I want to play but despite having space and a great internet connection it glitches from time to time. I wish I could just skip tutorials on new things and just play. I just reached level 22 this evening and the damn animal sanctuary keeps freezing the game. I can’t unlock anything, can’t x out. Can’t leave the game. Have to force close after waiting several minutes and the stupid exotic animal sanctuary animation restarts then it freezes again. Beyond frustrating for something that should be relaxing.
This game just lost 2 of the 3 stars…
This new update is trash. My game now lags badly, it starts acting jittery and tries locking up anytime I try to move to different sections one the farm,and workshop and cook station item options won’t load. Never mind the fact that 10 minutes in the game fighting with all that and it DRAINED my batter 10%. Just stop ruining the game.
glitches and then wants $$$
7/8 of the time the exit button vanished. you’re forced to close the game and start up again. then you’re required to get fruit. but need an updated animal habitat. but the only way if to get a special ingredient. which you get from filling requests from other players who want fruit you can’t get. or you can advance levels but each level requires an animal you can’t get bc you can’t update the habitat. but they did that by saying you can use real money
there’s a ceiling free to play gamers reach. level 20. after that you’ll spent 24 hours trying to do one order. but you can’t focus on that one order bc the ingredients are all time consuming and bulky they take up silo space. so you are forced to do every order one item at a time instead.
all in hopes that you’re going to get another level. which doesn’t give you anything but things you can’t advance on without paying cash.
definition of money grab.

Game play
To much to do all at once .. can’t advance fast enough.
Game got very boring and was so repetitive that the fun was gone. You can’t win bigger prizes unless you spend a ton of money

Don’t do it
Money pit not able to keep playing for free
Get real
Stop forcing me to do something I don’t want to do. I’m not getting paid for anything of this!
Forced BS
You are forced to sit through so many mini game tutorials and ads. This game has become absolutely ridiculous. It is not worth the headache.
Can’t get past level two
I keep looking for an update to the app because I’m on the screen and level two that asks you to claim your experience and I can’t tap on anything. Nothing is active.
Booo! I did the REQUIRED update and now it won’t load.
I did the required update on my game (which was loading perfectly) and now it won’t load. The loading screen and the spinning wheel of time just stays up.
Buggy
Township ads do not let you close and require a full restart. Please remove them or fix them.
Unfair
The cost for events should be equal for ALL players. Tons of players haven’t been able to access their farms in months and you blame their devices or WiFi and give them runaround excuses excuse, instead of actually fixing your problems
Too Many Pop Ups
This app has too many pop up. There’s a full minute of them before you even get to the game and you can’t close out of them. If I could post the video I took of all of them I would.
Glitchy
It started out ok, but since ads were recently added there are a lot of glitches. You get stuck in ads and have to force close the app. You then lose your reward and have to watch another ad. Also the “random” animals you are given are not consistent. The last 30 or more animals I have gotten as a reward have not included a cow. I’ve had a a single cow for a while and it takes so much time to complete orders.
Not worth the time or money
The game malfunctions daily. I constantly lose my progress due to the game closing out. It’s redundant game play and the rewards are not worth it. The cost of monthly passes is a rip off. Zynga support is a joke. The VIP experience is disgraceful and exploitative. I can understand why so many players I’ve played with for almost 5 years are quitting. I’m next to delete the game. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
Fix your glitches
It’s so dissapointed to try to play and can’t even acces the game. There’s no word from Zynga about all the glitches this game have carried since launch, forever beta, How do you expect someone to expend any money on your games anymore?
Doesn’t load
I have the updated version and it just doesn’t open it. Literally these days on the open screen and does not load.
iOS update
This app stopped working properly since the latest iOS update on my 9th generation IPad. This has been reported. Will there be a fix?
Another app designed to have to spend $$$ to advance
I wanted to like this. But the reward for the amount of hours I’ve spent is pitiful. Silo and barn fills but no way to upgrade unless real $ is spent. No real movement in a weeks time. Removing app and looking for a more friendly game.
The Game is crashing on iPads
Zenga engineers please fix & update the game so that it doesn’t crash on iPads. The game won’t even open fully before crashing
Blue screen
Even on the newest update, I cannot play the game. After a few seconds, the screen will turn blue. I reached out to support regarding this issue but have not heard back as of yet
Lots of Notifications
So I got this app and it’s a pretty good app, but it keeps notifying
me in the middle of the night, and I don’t like it I turned the notifications off and it still keeps notifying me and it just
Happened to me now. Can you please fix this? Thank you for reading my review.

Money grab game
I spend my time making things only to be told that my barn or silo are full. Takes days and days to collect enough items for an upgrade. I know the game makers want to sell me the needed supplies but I will not spend real money. There are plenty of games that I can play FREE, thank you. And I don’t want to be in a ‘co- op.’ Enjoy it yourselves.
Game
I think you guys should bring back the original version of FarmVille, I don’t like these new games,the first FarmVille was the best
Drops so low feels like watching paint dry
This is a dumb game. There is no way to work/play continually. 30 minutes to get a pint of milk to bake a muffin that takes an hour…2 muffins to complete an order…many orders required to advance.
Like watching paint dry or playing golf on TV. Totally lame.

Terrible IT.
Cant play game at all with recent update
They add new features and charge too much they steer people to their website to buy and then did not allow online purchases. A lot of stupid problems that should not occur. I haven’t seen such a bad IT in a long time. Zynga is absolutely the worst company. Online it says there are widespread problems in early April 2026. It is not getting better. I will never download another zynga game again. It is so bad there are YouTube videos that try to correct the problem but there are so many every attempt may or may not fix the problem a little. Many many people in my group have not been on for many days. Zynga will try to make you believe it is your device or your internet. It is not. everything else works and it is them or there would not be such wide reports of crashes. Why am I writing this here. Because it crashes every time I try to contact support inside the game. Smh

Takes FOREVER to actually play
When you load up the game it takes five or more minutes to get through all of the pop ups and you’re forced to go through all of the pop ups and games they want you to play. Stopped playing this game because of this. Just let me into the game and play. If I want to participate in events I will. Don’t force me.
The worst.
There is no way to untether the audio for this game from Bluetooth. The settings do not work and will not open to adjust anything. What is the point of having settings if you cannot open them. Uninstalled immediately.
Poorly designed
Downloaded, opened, played 20 min into the game, got the blue screen. Seems every time that I shift from the Order Board, it goes blue. So sad. Time to uninstall.
Stuck
I just downloaded the game to give it a try. Game got stuck at level two right away. Tried refreshing the app, deleting and redownloading with no luck.🙁 oh well I tried.
Needs new things
I love playing this game. It needs new games , animals and food the amounts of items to cook are way to high. It is getting boring doing same thing all the time. Special events we can’t get gifts because you either want to many things made or time runs out.
let’s be real…
i’ve played farmville 3 for 4-5 years and genuinely enjoy collecting animals and building my farm, but progression has become increasingly frustrating.
new workshops and production buildings are extremely expensive, often costing 20,000-40,000+ coins plus large amounts of materials. it feels like new buildings are introduced faster than players can realistically earn the resources needed to construct them.
what makes this even more frustrating is the removal or reduction of ways to earn free gems. i recently had to spend 90 gems on energy just to gather materials for a building i’d already spent 22,500 coins to unlock. as a long-time player, that doesn’t feel rewarding-it feels punishing.
i still enjoy the game, which is why i’m taking the time to leave this review. i would love to see better balance for long-term players, more ways to earn gems, and a less aggressive resource grind.

Fun for a day
Fun game but gets extremely slow very fast. It could be fun, but its clearly designed to entice you to pay to progress. You cant do anything besides wait, impossible to earn gems, and not enough storage. Not worth the download unless you are okay with wasting money to progress
Game is ok, the start up stinks
I remember playing FarmVille when it first came out a long time ago lol. It’s very different now but fun and fitting for mobile device playtime.
I wish there weren’t so many popups every time I log in, it already takes a long time to load, and then I feel overwhelmed by several pop ups that I have to quit out of or get pulled into a mandatory tutorial conversation that I can’t escape out of when I just wanted to play for 10 minutes and relax for a short break.

Ads
Ads will not give you the x to close out. FIX THIS!
Crash Fest
Like the premise of the game but it crashes more than a drunk driver. Can’t claim rewards. Can’t do in game challenges. Sucks.
Bombarded with pop-ups
This game would be better if you weren’t bombarded with pops-ups for their ads and events that are going on and what event ended. You can’t close some of these out. Then more info pop ups and this is in little blurbs so you have to tap and tap again to get through this one because again, can’t close it out. It is not fun when you open a game and have to tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap before you can even get to the actual game. Maybe one pop-up at the beginning to show current happenings would be fine, or better yet, just have a “current events” tab off to the side instead. It just makes me want to close the game and play something else at this point. Otherwise, it would be a fun game to pass the time.
Fun but gets boring
This game is fun when you first play it, but then, it doesn’t give you enough coins to buy property, animals, and build stuff.
Cost to build is to high
I play this game daily! I really love it but the fact it cost thousands to build things but then you get $100 for rewards doesn’t make sense. Give more for selling items or rewards! Or lower the cost to build new workshops!!
