June’s Journey - The best Game!
June’s Journey is, by far, my favorite game! It boasts absolutely gorgeous artwork which is more realistic than most. The clarity and color is superb. It’s a feast for the eyes! The game is diverse in nature, with a good mystery story line to follow while playing hidden object scenes. However, it doesn’t stop there! There are puzzles to earn and play, news ads to solve, mail in the mailbox, special detectives wanted monthly games to solve and collect prizes. Meanwhile, all throughout the game, there is a gorgeous island to design and decorate as you go, with absolutely stunning items to purchase for the design of an entire city. Anything you can imagine you can buy with the coins you earn during play. There is no end to the entertainment! All this sounds good, right? Now imagine if the game were live—that’s right—live! Connect to Facebook and the game gets even more exciting! You may speak directly to the artists, game creators, and make suggestions, join in contests, etc. You may connect with friends to exchange exciting prizes. There are also established groups to follow for those who take special interest in design! The bottom line: I don’t know anyone who has played this game who isn’t having trouble putting it down. I highly recommend you give it a try. This game is outstanding.

Dear Chloebernice, That’s awesome to hear. Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know what you think. You gave everyone on the team a big smile. Thanks again, Wooga Support Team
What?
Been playing this and last 4 or 5 chapters the group I was playing against whittled down to me and “Jack” for last 4 to 5 chapters, maybe more. Tonight I started chapter 48, level 236, and SUDDENLY there is a third person, “Cat”, who is in the lead and according to the list of friends—she’s on level 275!!! What??? Where did this character come from out of the blue when it’s just been me and Jack? Where has her rating been for all these chapters I’ve been playing with just Jack? If she’s 59 levels above me, then why hasn’t this “Cat” character shown up in the standings? Something is pretty fishy here which leads me to believe this game is a total scam and I have wasted my money playing. I’ll play this until I run out of jewels or energy and I am DONE. Woooga has ripped me off for the last time
UPDATE: Just got update two days ago following valentine special event. Its a another Kabuki event😳😳😳 seriously? Wooga can't be more imaginative than to repeat a special event??? Out of 14 choices in Kabuki, 8 of them are repeats of the earlier Kabuki event. They also repeated the event with feathers and fancy swimming pools although, again, they added a few different choices, but definitely repeat choices. I enjoy the game a lit but if you're going to continue to repeat past events, might be time to quit playing your game. Please be more imaginative. Long term players can't help but puck up on repeats and its annoying

Great game minor complaints
I’ve been playing this game for quite a while and I have had a ton of fun playing and introducing my family to the game. Unlike many of the other reviewers I don’t have an issue with the pay to progress nature of the game, I understand the developers want to sell a product. The only issues I’ve had that have come close to driving me away from the game are- 1 the load times for the advertisements, I regularly have to wait 30 seconds for a 30 seconds ad to play which is excessive. I’m not sure how much control Wooga has over this, but it’s very irritating to wait minutes just to get started especially now that there are several things that can trigger ads. The second irritation I have playing the game is how long it takes to navigate levels, I’m caught up with the story and have started replaying early levels, it takes me over a minute to scroll back, not the end of the world but it’s hard to get motivated to play when I’m spending a few minutes watching ads and mindlessly scrolling chapters. I think that a change in the scroll method would possibly help with the other players who get frustrated about not being able to continue since they don’t have enough coins/butterflies to progress they could just easily go back and play early levels.
Anyway that’s my two cents about your game from a happy customer who has gotten a lot of entertainment from your product.

Such a striking game which I have been thoroughly enjoying. It is totally frustrating though when one is unable to advance in the story due to lack of flowers, compasses, jewels. There needs to be more options in gaining these items and being able to store items on boat. The land availability is ridiculously limited. There is simply not enough space to be able to grow your property with out it looking like a mishmash of just “stuff” jammed in any space!! I know I’m not the only one struggling with this as I’ve viewed a number of friends islands and there is just clutter upon clutter to most islands especially those who are attempting to complete the entire story concept!! It’s a shame as you can see some genuine attempts at players trying to make their islands look normal yet they end up boarding on the ridiculous as there is no space provided, in an appropriate time frame!!

Doesn’t recognise when you select the right clue!!!
Very fun and additive game but the only complaint is when you are close to getting a 5 star box or a “perfect score” it tells you that you haven’t selected the right clue so you get penalised but then when you selected it again it shows it is correct!
Love this game....
So I don’t usually review games-don’t keep most of them long enough to review them! I am a hospice nurse and my down time is very important to me-I don’t have the patience to be frustrated so here is why I keep this game...
I am on chapter 355 and am impressed with the coins (I have over 100,00), the gems I’ve received in boxes during play or as reward for help wanted tasks have been great, the addition of help wanted has given me something to work towards the 5-6 days I wait for the new chapter, and super appreciate that I can keep playing previous scenes when I need something. I appreciate that I can always watch a video to reduce energy cost to play scene!
Looking at the reviews I wonder if I’m playing the same game? I just don’t see the same problems. The only “crash” I’ve experienced has been when the video I’m watching to skip time to new help wanted task freezes and as I know from other games the developers do not control those videos. I find this game generous with rewards and just about the time I was getting frustrated/bored with waiting for next chapter to be available here came help wanted to distract during that time!
Overall really enjoy the relaxing nature of this game and hope to play for a long time to come,

I love this game! But recent updates need fixing
This is hands down the best game I’ve played. I get bored of games quickly but this one has held my attention. It’s the best out of P Peril and Agent A (sister games). The other 2 don’t even come close. The story line is always interesting, the characters are great, and the constant updates get better and better! It doesn’t crash as often as it used to which is great!
The few thing I’d suggest include giving more compasses/coins/resources. I’m okay with waiting to build up coins and stuff but I am not okay waiting 3 days for something to upgrade. We don’t get enough gems to speed this up at a reasonable rate. We need to earn more coins per scene or get higher bonuses for the perfect score. The addition of the quests has been a huge help with coins and energy! However, recently, the quests haven’t given out the same rewards, they’ve been cut down significantly. I stopped getting materials and there’s no new buildings to upgrade. I can’t complete quests if I’m not getting the things I need. And why would you take away rewards from the quests?? That’s pretty sucky. I don’t know why it seemed to hit a bump recently but please fix this. Please continue to listen to your players because this game is amazing.

The amount of time required to advance is excessive
There are so many aspects of June’s Journey that I love. The illustrations are beautiful, the storyline is entertaining and compelling, and the effort required to find the hidden objects is challenging. It is a fun game to play, When it is possible to do so. However, I have decided to leave the game because it takes so many days to advance. For instance, I just finished updating the Movie Palace, which required several days and finally the use of diamonds to create an instant upgrade so I could progress. To my dismay, today I found a request to perform another upgrade to the Movie Palace, requiring an additional four days! This means I must have something under construction at all times that is ready for completion in order to advance to the next level. I don’t mind that part, but it means that I am always short of either coins or diamonds, Resulting in having to replay mastered scenes to accumulate enough coins, or purchase diamonds from the store for an instant upgrade. To progress at a level I enjoy, I really have to continue spending money, and I have grown weary of doing so, so I am going to delete the game and find something more productive to do with my resources of time and money. Perhaps the developers will create an algorithm that is mutually beneficial to both the players and their business. I’m leaving in the middle of level 25.

Frustrating
2nd update: At the manufacturers request, I got in touch with them about the issue of too much down time - e.g. you can’t advance chapters because you don’t have enough of one thing; you cannot expand territory because you don’t have enough of another thing...; so basically you just have to wait, sometimes for several days until the stuff catches up. I do not enjoy playing a game for awhile and then waiting indefinitely for the game to allow me to continue. The manufacturer, instead of hearing my frustration, chose to tell me how to play. I am at chapter 17, I know how to play, I just want to be able to do so when I want to and not when the game catches up. It is still a fun game but I will probably start looking for something else.
Update to earlier post. They seem to have found the problem because the program rarely crashes any longer. When playing, you can generally do something in the game to continue advancing, unlike p. Peril, it’s sister game. The more I play this one the more I like it.
While the concept is good and the story is good, the game crashes quite often. I use the app not Facebook and it seems to crash several times a day probably averaging 2. I play on a brand new iPad with all updates. Very disappointed in the crashes and when it reboots, you lose whatever you were working on. After reboot it should take you to where you were but it doesn’t.

Hi Saintroche, Oh no! That sounds very annoying. Fortunately, we can sort that out pretty quickly. All we need is a few more details. If you can get in touch via the contact form at support.wooga.com, we’ll be able to solve the problem nice and quick. Hope to hear from you soon.
Please make some changes!!!
I really enjoy the hidden object scenes and have been playing for quite a while now. But...there are some major frustrations with this game as well. They are very stingy with compass icons (which you need to expand your world), diamonds and coins which you need to expand and build your scene. But...what I find most frustrating...especially when I have only a few times in my day that I can play is the absolute stinginess of the lightning bolts (power) that you need to play. You can’t even get thru a scene on what they give you. So the little time I get to play is cut totally short by the lack of power up to play.
After playing and building my world for sometime now...I think a few changes need to be made in order to keep people playing. 1- If you get a PERFECT score on a level, you should not be charged the 10-15 lightning bolts to play...it should credit you back as this is not an easy feat..and would be an appropriate reward and keep people playing.
2- It takes a ton of coins to purchase most of the items for your world as well as gems. Stop being so insanely stingy with them as it takes a really long time, due to the lack of turns you get at a time to amass any amount of coins or gems.
3- Give players the option of watching ads to gain power, coins and gems. This is standard with most games as the game host is paid for players to watch the ads. It’s a win win!!
