Too complicated
Trying to open this ecard sent to me- do I HAVE to download this Cottage app? All I want to do is read the card!Radiofirst
I’ve read the reviews and I’m having same issues
Very frustrating. I hope it’s fixable.ohforchristsake
Summer garden useless
Was unaware that in order to work it needed to be purchased through JL so purchased by clicking on the offer on the entrance to cottage - purchased from JL. Only worked once. It is also not integrated with the original which I would have expected. As I have been a member of the card site for many years I was deeply disappointed by this product. It’s functionality would have been disappointing for a much less expensive app or even a free one in my opinion. I definitely regret having sent this to my friend with their recent cards.Show lessMeta G
Slow to achieve and not as good as earlier browser work
Some of the games score low and the garden expansion pack word game fails frequently which is disappointing
I had hoped the gardening would have been more simply creative as the old garden app.LMGrimble
Fun but add on purchase won’t work
I’ve enjoyed playing this but having purchased the summer garden, it fails to remember I’ve bought it each time I re-open the app. No amount of logging on and off, reinstalling the app etc has helped, and the service support via email just told me to repeat the same steps I’ve done. Make it work or money back, please!Show lessAlexaB1
Country Cottage
I must agree with Harmony09 in previous review. I absolutely love Jacque Lawson and have been a member s almost since inception but the Country Cottage games are limited to only 3 and to purchase any new item for re-decoration is ridiculous! It takes forever to accumulate any points and is very discouraging…hence, boring! Perhaps an adjustment in what items “cost” is in order.Show lessanne hatheway
Quiet fun
This is a simple, basic game. You can decorate your cottage—a little. And you can play a few little games. But the game with the beads has given me hours of fun without the noise and lights of most games. I play an audiobook and play with no goal in mind. (Also, it gives the most points while you’re decorating your cottage.)Show lessGood typer.
Customer Support is horrible
Sent 2 weeks playing lame games to get enough coins to almost all the repairs. Opened the game the next day and over half of my repairs were missing. Started earning coins again and also contacted customer support. They had me log out and back in and it reset the game to be back to the tutorial and lost my expansion pack. So now I have lost everything and the tutorial didn’t even pay me coins for doing it again. Luckily I had enough to get the games unlocked.
Customer support after a week of back and forth offered to give me a refund. I send them my email account, they can’t find me. I contact them back, tell them I can log in fine with that email for them to say, we see that email address in our system and how to log in. So they can find it when not offering a credit, but it seems to not be in the system when offering one. I really liked the idea of this game and the advent calendar, but customer support has runnier both for me. Not worth the money I paid for it.Show lessAirangi
Love the app
I have been a fan and subscriber to JL for many years. This free app exceeded my expectations. In a few afternoons I’ve managed to repair the cottage, exchange several of the furnishings and replace the siding. As others have noted, the graphics are first rate. The music (and nature sounds) are also quite lovely. Finally, I give thumbs up to the programming of Klondike solitaire, which my dear grandpa taught me to play. One can either drag and drop the cards (apparently a good brain workout) or click and select the next move to be made automatically. Many thanks, Jacquie Lawson! I look forward to purchasing the expansion packs.

Games and Rewards Need Work
Either the instructions for the games aren’t clear or the rewards are miniscule. I have to send a card a day to accumulate significant points because the rewards for playing the games are so small that I’ll never finish. I finally finished cleaning up the cottage but will never try to decorate it! It’s become boring and less satisfying and honestly a bit of a struggle. Game Over!
