Too many ads
In the beginning, this game was lots of fun and I would’ve given it a five star, but in the last year and a half this game has become nothing but ads. You cannot complete a level hardly without having to watch 4 to 5 ads lasting 30 plus seconds each. Plus a number of ads lock up and you have to back out of the game.
Also the level have become so hardcore is no longer fun to play. Don’t waste your time with this game go play Lily’s garden.

Level 8598 is not winnable
I have played the level for over a week at least 100+ times and it can’t be won. I have played the game for several years as noted by the level. If you can’t win the game in a week or even after 20 times it ceases to be enjoyable. I have given up on this game as it is no longer fun. I have played through tough levels before but this is ridiculous. You lost me as a game player. I feel badly but not worth the time and aggravation anymore.
Ads???
Nope uninstall.
Advertisement for angry bird
The Angry Bird advertisement will mot let me continue playing Penny and Flo unless I get the app
Please create an app that doesn’t crash EVER SINGLE DAY!
This is getting really old.
I would give 0 stars if I could
It’s gotten impossibly difficult, even with infinite boosters. I’ll spend a whole 45 minutes with all boosters and not advance one level. That’s time I’ll never get back. If you like being stuck on a level while using several boosters for days on end to no avail, then ok. But don’t expect the developers to show any appreciation for long-time players. For them, it’s all about the revenue these days. When you begin noticing the levels are getting more difficult to pass and boosters aren’t as helpful, BAIL. Find another game.
Tactile games
Penny&Flo and Lily’s Garden are terrific! They are challenging but not impossible and the story is kind of cute.
Cost to play
Gets to expensive to play. Not enough moves many time and requires to many coins to keep going
Ads
I used to love this game now the ads are taking it over and ruined it!!!
What happened?
I used to love this game. The gameplay was challenging; the story line good. Now if you don’t get a matching puzzle on the first try, you are toast! I refuse to pay for extra coins and cannot get more without finishing the matches to win. Sounds like lose/lose to me.
Demonic ads
I enjoyed the storyline that was the reward for playing puzzles but the ads would often creep me out. Women being abused by men and thrown out with infant children in snowy weather but when I saw demonic stories advertised I deleted the game. Beware! I would hate for my grandchildren to be exposed to that!
Why has this become political?!
I really enjoy renovation games. I find it extremely satisfying. And Penny and Flo and of course the indomitable Daphne, make for such a fun and entertaining game.
Until it came to the South African renovation. Quite frankly as a South African I find this renovation insulting and petty and stuck in an era that no longer exists. The poaching/hunting is something that unfortunately exists and it would have been been sufficient to run off the hunters as the fairytale ending.
But to cast South Africans as stupid, Afrikaans buffoons, stuck in an era LONG GONE, is beyond the pale.
Stick to what you know and leave politics out of gaming.

Hard
This game is really difficult to advance in without spending money to do so. Have loaded and removed it more than once. Not worth it.
Impossible to win
This was a great game, I’ve been playing it for a while now. Over the last month, players noticed the games have gotten very hard to complete as they have made them impossible to win unless you make purchases. They also increased the ads, that have become very long. So disappointing because I’m on the last storyline before completing the series.
Problem
This won’t stay open!
Frustrated
Ok. I had a great review on here for the game, but I’m changing it because they’ve made a lot of changes in the game and I, amongst other players don’t like it. You can’t save your lives past 15 anymore, you have to hit continue every time you help someone, etc. The game just isn’t the same anymore.
No points given
Games keeps getting stuck and I don’t get any perks when I used to what’s going on with this game
Too many ads.
Too many ads. I’m thinking of deleting it.
Obnoxious number of ads
Every time you play a game it is followed by an add. I have to stop playing.
Such a shame
This was my favorite until they made the games so difficult. Such a shame that I don’t enjoy playing anymore.
Not impressed with new
Not impressed with this one. The amount of stars needed to do activities went up extremely fast. Still having to pay activity stars for part of the storyline. Hit level 400 and it’s forcing me to watch ads
Ads
I used to enjoy this game without so much ads but now I feel like the game is too money hungry. There is just ads after ads nonstop, it's getting annoying.
