Leave a Review Jacquie Lawson Country Cottage
No updates for ages
Seems this app is not going to get any new features or packs so once you’ve unlocked the furnishings and the two expansion packs, which doesn’t take very long, that’s it. Bit pricey for what you ultimately get considering there’s no regular additions or new items. DisappointingVMP20
Brilliant
Love this app! Word games, puzzles, decorating, and beautiful graphics! And no adverts!!! I play it every day and send messages to my friends from the desk. Now I have the garden and kitchen and easily achieved over 300,000 points. Can’t understand the poor reviews. This is brilliant.Nevertiki
I’m in love
There is so much to do omg. I completed everything in this app and had so much fun doing it. Also the is many games like solitary and puzzle and the sounds and music that come with it just make me feel like I’m in the game and outside in a cosy little cottage. GET THIS APP xgfshbxbdhfhx
Disappointing
I have enjoyed the Jacque Lawson e-cards I have received from others over the last few years. Then I got the advent calendar as a gift this year and really loved it. So I thought I’d give the country cottage a try. The free version was ok but I thought it was just so limited because it was free, so I bought the kitchen and garden additions. Nope. They are just as limited and quite frankly, pretty boring. The graphics are lovely, as you would expect, but there is nothing really to do - except a few repetitive games or choosing between a few choices of decorations. You can’t move between the rooms or garden without getting out of each section of the game on the website. The games also can be glitchy and freeze while you are playing. Hopefully the developers will put a LOT more effort into improving this app.Show less~bluewave~
Fun for mindless games
I like playing mindless card games to wind down so it’s perfect for me. However, it is SUPER frustrating to finish the garden card game that takes a long time, only to have an error that I need to log in again appear instead of the game score/coins earned.
Fortunately, my four year old daughter found the debug menu when she was decorating my house and managed to acquire about 3 million coins, so the loss doesn’t bother me too much. But I still think it’s a flaw in the game design. Also it would be nice if it didn’t seem to require a constant Wi-Fi connection. It would be a perfect airplane game otherwise.
Finally, I wish it were possible to turn off the cat roomba in the kitchen. It’s amusing the first few times but is tedious after a few weeksShow lessIcexpat
Terrible Tech Support
I’ve loved Jacquie Lawson interactive apps for years from the Advent Calendars to other downloadable games. This is the first time I’ve experienced a tech issue but boy what an eye opener.
I purchased the Kitchen Expansion for this Country Cottage app and it doesn’t work on any of my devices; Windows PC running 10, Samsung tablet, and new iPhone 14 Plus.
There are a number of different options to troubleshoot this issue and when researched there are a lot of customers who’ve had the same problem.
Unfortunately the tech support for Jacquie Lawson just keeps regurgitating the same steps without any additional info or real help with troubleshooting. Very frustrating and disappointing as well as a complete waste of money. If you want to avoid a major headache look for fun elsewhere. This is not the app for you.Show lesssdhenryart
Lovely but flawed
I was thrilled to spend time cleaning up my cottage, I played lots of games so I could really deck out the interior in style. I have over 1500 points waiting to go…then….nothing. The app locked me out. Nothing happens when I tried to access the catalog. I tried deleting the app and downloading again but it just reinstalled what was saved on the Cloud. Deep sadness….:(Show lessBMGoil&&&
Dull
I enjoy the Jacquie Lawson Advent calendars but this Country Cottage is a very poor show. Its functions are limited for hours, even days at a time by ‘technical issues’, and when it is working it’s hardly worth bothering with. The furnishing and decorating choices are very limited, e.g., a measly three choices of sofa, etc. I paid for the garden and kitchen extensions in the hope of more choices. No such luck. I’d gone through all the garden options in twenty minutes. On to the kitchen. Just unimaginative and, frankly boring.Show lessDnnha*'oo
Cannot interact with the cottage
Despite several attempts and though the money was taken to fix the door, the cottage will not work. I can purchase and interact with the rooms but not the cottage. Very frustratingnxiioenoiewcnirowcneiwo
Beautiful, but needs work
I agree with previous reviews that the app needs more ways to earn points. You can earn points by playing just 3 games, and though a developer’s response a year ago says there will be more.. there is still just 3. The ratio is off too; the number of points you earn for playing or winning a game is very low compared to the number of points you need to “buy” a decoration.
In short, add more games (spider solitaire please!) and give them a higher payoff.Show less47380264
