  • Frustrated

    Frustrated on the fact that your items will just disappear after you just bought them. This has happened more than a few times. Also when you try to earn coins and diamonds by voting or watching commercials... the commercials wont play, aren't available or freezes or says come back later. So it takes forever to build your coins & diamonds up.( With doing these two tasks it takes forever!!!!) The fact when your items do disappear you have no where to contact to let them know. Started out ok, but they need to fix these issues! If they could fix that, then it would be an ok app!

  • Love

    This game is amazing, so many different flowers, trees and locations to pick from. It’s so relaxing and I look forward to all the new daily challenges. The only issue, please be careful with the survey offers. After doing a bunch someone from Nigeria was attempting to hack into my Instagram account. It could be coincidence but I’m not sure.

  • Poor grading system which impacts gameplay

    1. It is unclear what the “logic” is behind the grading system. How is the matching done? Does the same combination of gardens get voted on by all players? How can some sets both have 5 stars and some have neither cracking 4 stars? Makes no sense.

    2. Need a skip option. Sometimes neither are good options. We should be able to skip that set.

    3. I get that the goal is 5 stars to get diamonds (although it becomes more and more rare the longer you play and boy is it annoying when you get 4.99….) but why doesn’t everyone who submits a garden get the garden prize? Everyone has to spend the coins or diamonds to meet the criteria. We should all get the prize.

    4. Is there a bottom threshold on points that everyone starts with? If so what is it?

    I’ve been playing for a while now - every day - but my annoyance with the grading system may just result in stopping. Even though I have spent real money on the game.

  • Garden Joy

    This really is a very relaxing and rewarding game. I enjoy every part of it especially learning about what plants grow in what climate conditions and just paying attention to what they pair nicely with is fun too. It actually has proven to me that I should consider taking this more into my real life. I’ve always loved gardening and fact is ppl have stopped randomly at my home just to take pictures of what I created this year as they do every year. Total strangers have done this. At first it was a bit odd but after awhile I took it as a great compliment bc there I was just enjoying myself. Getting outside of my own mind and living life as we all should. It’s quite contagious if you let it be. And this is really very good practical practice. And I’m loving every minute of it. Thanks for creating an awesome game. Very fun.

  • Grass Stains on my knees and dirt on my hands!

    And…I’m still on the couch! This app has become my only addiction since the long-ago beginnings of FarmVille. Garden Joy truly is a joy and is a way for this disabled lady to create beauty once again. If you enjoy gardening, colors, and making something lovely from almost nothing pre-set…this is a must have! I get lost, around the world, in these landscapes and I never get a bee sting. Great job creating this amazing app!

  • I recently began using Garden Joy

    I have been using Design Home for years. I have recently been using Garden Joy now also, but I’m having issues with this game. Right after I finish a challenge, an ad pops up and my game crashes. There has been times that I did not get the pay from the challenge. I can’t just reach out to support for the game, I’m unaware of how to do that other than the reward wall and I don’t try for the rewards too often as this game heats up my phone quickly. I can’t figure that one out but when I’m watching videos to try to get some diamonds after a couple my phone gets hot. I do like the game itself, but the issues are all technical. How could I reach a contact us? Not to delete my game but to check technical support.

  • So lovely

    I have a lot of this style of game but this is my favorite. I love gardening and it’s so fun and relaxing to make little gardens over and over. My only complaints are that I wish they had more challenges because I always complete them and then have to wait all day for any new ones. The achievement system also seems to be a bit broken, because I’m stuck at “reach a 4.75 score” but I’ve been getting 5s since I started playing.

  • Best game I’ve found

    This game is so great. Challenging yet relaxing. A really great outlet for creativity. Rewards are easy to achieve and you can progress without spending real money. Graphics are excellent smooth play with zero glitches and bugs (for me anyway). Best thing is that you aren’t force fed ads. I had been searching for a gardening game and every one turned out to be something else ( like matching or merging). An ad for this game popped up on another game and I downloaded thinking that I was going to just immediately delete it because it wouldn’t be as it appeared in the ad but it is actually more than what I had expected. I’ve been playing for just a few weeks and I am obsessed with it. Download it now, you won’t regret it.

  • A lot of potential!

    This is a fun, creative, relaxing game. I have a few suggestions:

    1. There is not enough gameplay. We need more challenges per day.

    2. It would be more realistic and challenging if the plant choices took into account light requirements.

    3. I understand that the business model encourages micro transactions. That being said; having the occasional challenge where we have to work within a budget would be cool!

    4. Give us more options not to plant monoscapes in large garden beds.

    5. I wish the rating system somehow took into account the “assignment”. For example actually planting tropical plants in a tropical garden should help a score. Same for desert etc.

    Overall I’m enjoying the game! Hope to see some improvements.
