Ads failing far too often now
Game itself is good fun. Lots of longevity. Graphics are clever and appealing. In reality the side-missions keep you going from a gameplay perspective, as the “main game” goes through peaks and troughs, waiting for cash to accumulate etc.
However, what is by far the most frustrating and off-putting aspect is the NEAR CONSTANT FAILING ADS. When you load the game, you are given the option to watch an Ad to double your offline earnings. Handy if you’ve been offline for say 8-10 hours overnight? Not handy when the ad won’t load and YOU ARE NOT COMPENSATED FOR IT! Other games either give you the reward and acknowledge the failure or play an “alternative ad”. I’ve lost so much money and therefore so much PROGRESS that I’m probably going to remove the app. I’m not paying the extortionate VIP fee (ad-free gaming) when I’ve been exposed to this apps blatant failures. Having read other reviews and seeing that they specifically mention it in their ap updates, the Ads failing is not a new phenomenon.

Amazing game with some issues
After the recent update that has come out there has been noticeable lag in game especially in the strain and manager upgrade screens. There is a long pause in between those two menus that weren’t there before. Another problem the game has is in the ad system as most ads break. What I mean is that whenever you tried to click the X to exit an ad the screen darkens and doesn’t allow you to exit thus not only freezing your game but also making you lose your reward. I’m sure this is due to optimization as I’m using an IPhone 13. Other than these issues this game is very addicting and always adding new events.

Great app and fun!
I’m still giving this 5 stars. My one problem is in the newest challenge Arcade Dreams the Event Research for Event Manager Cooldown does not seem to be working. It’s still taking as long as before to deploy them again, and I have put enough research on that it should be at 90 percent cooldown. Event after using gems for a reset and trying again. This is the only time I’ve had this happen and I’ve been playing a while. Outside that excellent and well run.

Fun, but some of the ads...
edit: doesn’t matter which ad, as time has gone on while playing, it’s gotten to the point every ad repeats 2-3 times, then black screens and locks up the ap forcing you to close. So you never get an ad rewards. It’s still is fun, I just don’t watch any ads now, and I’m not paying $5 A WEEK to remove them.
The game in itself is fun, and passes the time if you don’t know how to occupy it otherwise. The way things are competitions and stuff are integrated are done well, except the ad integration is buggy as heck!
Half the time the ad won’t even load, while one will repeat, and any of them can and will completely freeze up the app at some point, forcing you to close it. This is a regular occurrence, an EXTREMELY REGULAR OCCURRENCE.
The Jenny McCarthy is a culprit in that it will just repeat, and it’s not like the ads are short. I get that’s how the game entices you to go “vip”, but at 5$ a week to get rid of ads, you can F right off! So, that along with the ad bugs, I’m done.
My buddy sent me an invite, but as I’m not a big mobile gamer I don’t spend much time on my phone, so there’s that.

Pretty Gas Game
As a group of 4 teenaged individuals, my friends and I have spent the last hour or so reviewing your game. We have found that your app earned 4/5 stars. 1(one) star for profit rates, 1 star for weed design, 1 star for game layout, and 1 final star for interactive elements. You lost 1 star on the manager position, however, due to the limited amount of time that they are in the game. The player should be able to have continuous or longer extended manager time slots. Thank you for your time, we hope to review again in the near future!

Crashing issues
I’m in contact with metamoki support but wanted to update my review. Having fun with the game when it’s not crashing constantly, finally got to play in events but now I crash a lot and sometimes get stuck in a crash loop and I’m unable to play for a week / event-length.
Other than the crashing and my occasional “good stuff” and totally overlook or forget I spent rewards I really enjoy the game and it’s simple yet fun design. Patience with the adds or VIP options make it feel more fair to me than a lot of other games.

Reward Videos Not Loading
Super fun game but I’m getting frustrated. I watch the videos to get bonuses but lately they have been lagging far too much. I’ve waited over 7 minutes for a video to load. I have 1gbps Wi-Fi so it’s not that. Many times I just close the video link down after about a minute and close out of the app entirely. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work either. I’ve yet to find a pattern as to why this keeps happening and I’m not sure I’m willing to wait much longer. It’s a real shame too because it is one of the most fun idle tycoon games I’ve played. If not for that, I would rate this 4.5, maybe 5 stars!

Amazing but could..
I absolutely love this app. I am totally obsessed and spend maybe too much time on here sometimes haha. I have been playing for a while now and I’ve unlocked all the locations but getting the higher amounts of seeds is getting difficult to upgrade strains without spending way too much money. I don’t have much money to be spending due to the economy and there needs to be another way to get seeds faster and easier. I think it’s also time to add some more locations on the maps I do like the moon but I’ve got all of those locations too I think it’s ready for a big update!

This game, it has changed my life, first i would like to mention that my wife left me only a week ago, however this game has kept my spirits to the max during my deepest and darkest of times. I wish the developers a fruitful life for as long as this game lives. Thank you sincerely.

Fun While It Lasts
I played this game for a while and I made it to Rome. It got really hard to advance in the game and upgrade my strains without purchasing $20/$30 packages and I’m just not going to spend that on a phone game. I literally paid $4.99 a week to skip ads for this game and it’s like the creators wanted more money out of me to like keep enjoying it. And then they’ve recently redesigned the events (which is basically how I upgraded my strains without paying $20/$30 for crates) and made those harder and it’s just not fun or worth the $5 a week anymore or even worth being downloaded on my phone. Kind of sad about it buuuuuuuuut whatever 🤷🏼♀️
