It randomly popped into my head the other day so I redownloaded it. I recently switched from an se to a newer phone and the game is not formatted for this new phone, which is really sad. It’s been six years since the last update so pls pls pls update 😭😭😭😭 ### 2/5 — Uh oh *2021-03-12, version 0.5496* I think the game is really fun but i have an iphone 12 and the bottom gets cut off a bit so i cant buy anything with my pearls which makes it 10 times harder to play. pls fix this so i can actually play!! ### 4/5 — Güzel ama eksikleri var *2021-02-21, version 0.5496* Oyun güzel ve keyifli ancak görev yok ve oyun biraz daha sınırlandırılmalı onun dışında güzel. (Basılı tutup yararlıya basarsanız sevinirim :)) ### 3/5 — Needs a small fix *2020-11-27, version 0.5496* I’m trying to play and wanted to check out the other packs, but it doesn’t fit my screen. It cuts off the option to buy. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max if that helps. ### 2/5 — Where’s my money? *2019-07-16, version 0.5496* This game is so fun and I love to decorate the houses! But, whenever I return my money seems to disappear. I have 1 million, I check back and I have 200,000. I almost want to stop playing because this bug makes me so mad. Please fix!!! ### 3/5 — Fun... For Awhile *2018-12-13, version 0.5496* I absolutely LOVED this game the first few days I played it. It’s different enough to be interesting, and it’s fun to redesign all the rooms based off the backstory you are given. HOWEVER, after the first few days I noticed the game seems to stop collecting money after about 5 minutes of not playing. So unless I check the game every couple of minutes I can’t make any more than about 600k. It also seems like my money keeps disappearing. PLEASE FIX THESE BUGS SO I CAN KEEP PLAYING!!! ### 2/5 — Not recommended *2018-11-24, version 0.5494* This game had a lot of potential when it was initially released but the game overall has been neglected asides from the minor bug fixes. It’s repetitive and everything is too bright, the house layouts are basically 5 defaults where it lacks rooms and details as a whole. The soundtrack is painfully repetitive along with everything else mentioned. It gets boring fast. I personally will not waste my time on this game anymore because of the poor quality. ### 4/5 — Few problems *2018-10-28, version 0.5494* Hey! I luv this game and enjoy playing every day, but lately I have noticed that my money keeps disappearing. Every time I log back into the game after having not played for a few hours, it says I have earned like 280,000 diamonds, but then I only have 280,000 in my bank, even though the day before I had 500,000 diamonds and had not spent it. Also some of my houses that I have bought and refurnished have deleted so that I have to rebuy them again. It’s making me very annoyed because I have bought the soccer house at least 3 times already and every day have to re-earn enough diamonds, then buy and decorate the room again. Can u plz fix this problem, because it is my only problem with the game, and I will play much more if I no longer have this problem!! I just need the game to save better!! Thanks so much!!!!! Byeee ### 2/5 — Not sure what the point is *2018-02-11* I liked Castaway Paradise, so I figured I would like this game. I don’t... at least, not the way it is. It’s a design game, sort of. By design they simply mean that you can collect items and arrange them in a pre-made house. You don’t collect items by exploring or anything, just by “completing house tasks.” You can’t build or expand a house. You can’t move the houses around the island. You can’t design the actual island the way you want to. You can just put stuff in a house. Honestly, this just should have been an add on to Castaway Paradise, not an entire game in itself. That’s the one thing that ever bothered me about Paradise, you couldn’t design the houses, or move them, or expand them. I really encourage the developer to consider merging these two game ideas to make one amazing and awesome game. You could have something really really great here. ### 4/5 — A good game, but... *2017-10-15, version 0.4500* I love this game, but once you play it for a while and buy more houses, you lose all your money and it takes way too long to earn enough money back to keep buying houses. ### 3/5 — Love it but crashes, doesn't give you much creativity with the items you have to put in the houses *2017-07-13, version 0.4500* Let people design a few houses on their own, have a character to walk in the house with, no in app purchases ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — not playable - abandoned game *2026-04-20, version 0.5496* this game and the only other game created by this developer have been abandoned for years with no updates and is no longer supported on modern ios and android systems. upon opening either game, it will crash and is unable to open. both of these games should not be on the app store as they are outdated, unsupported and completely unplayable. do not install this as there is no game and it needs to be removed from the platform. ### 1/5 — Irritated *2021-05-15, version 0.5496* Every time I try to watch a video or do a booster it just “loads” the longest I’ve waited was 10 minutes just out of curiosity. And I can’t even see my whole inventory screen. ### 1/5 — Super bad !!!! *2021-02-20, version 0.5496* I hate it !! ### 1/5 — Not formatted for XR *2020-02-16, version 0.5496* This game is not formatted for XR at all. The bottom is missing unable to buy anything cause I can’t select the options. So frustrating! ### 1/5 — Keep having to start again *2018-11-04* This is a really good game except every time I close out of it then come back to play it later I have to start the game from the beginning. I would really love to play this game but I’m not restarting it all the time, it’s too painful. ### 1/5 — Could be a four star but it resets automatically *2018-10-26, version 0.5494* It’s a cute and fun game but my game has reseted automatically six times now and I’ve given up. No way I’m redoing the houses that I’ve done again when just before I went to bed I had more than half of the island opened. Fix that and you’ll have a great game. ### 1/5 — Update it so there's a reset option *2018-03-27, version 0.4500* I love this game so much but it still says I have -900,000,000gems pls update it so there a reset option I don’t have enough regions & it won’t let me buy any :( thank you!! I’ve been trying everything to get that many gems ### 1/5 — Fun but problematic... *2018-02-10, version 0.4500* I enjoy playing, find the premise simple enough, and I don’t even mind it being ad driven but what I DO mind is spending 30ish minutes watching ads to boost my gems and then suddenly 17 MILLION gems just disappear from my total! And when I spend time watching ads to get booster packs and then after “opening” them certain exotic items (the black tile from Glam Rock for example) disappear from my inventory (repeatedly!). Then when I tap the support button to let devs know, I get a bad gateway notice. THAT, I do mind! I have time on my hands and I enjoy playing this simple game but I don’t like feeling cheated by it. I’ll be happy to update my review with more stars if my issues are adequately addressed. ### 1/5 — I wish I could actually play it... *2018-01-04, version 0.4500* I do wish that I can actually play the game, but it doesn’t look at all every time I try playing, it just freezes the iPad and I hope you have you restart so I absolutely do not like this game! ### 1/5 — Confused *2017-03-31, version 0.4301* I tried this app since it was recommended for me, but I font understand it. You can only move certain items I had this for like five minutes before hating it out of confusion. I apologize to the creators because they probably worked hard on this, but maybe they need to invest more time in it. It might open up great opportunity. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jogo Legal *2022-05-17, version 0.5496* O Jogo é bom e muito legal. É fácil de manusear e construir. Parabéns !!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — I love it I’m 8 now I been waiting for a good game *2019-07-31, version 0.5496* Hi I love your apps castaway I was playing and playing it for hours now and I been playing like when I’m playing i play like I have a job please make people for my house if you make people in the game I will down load all of your games ### 5/5 — Good *2019-06-20, version 0.5496* It should have people in The city ### 5/5 — Warning Warning SOO ADDICTING! *2019-05-05, version 0.5496* This game is so addictive the way you can put things anywhere and how there are so many interesting items and levels please keep up the hard work and please on favor more dragon themed items please dragons are my fave and I would like to see more items than just a dragon skull unless there are more and I don’t have them yet :) I am olny on level... ten? IDK but thank you for your hard work and time of making this game and making people happy and if the developer reads this PLEASE keep on doing what tou do and making more fun and interesting and intertaning games TYYYY! ^ ^ • ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2019-02-10, version 0.5496* Wery good game but not connect Facebook ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-02-10, version 0.5496* It’s a really fun casual game. You let a few videos run to earn the furniture, then you decorate the little houses. The decorations are interesting and fun to collect. The only change I would make would be to add more camera control. I would like to be able to take pictures from more angles because it’s fun to design a house for a friend but sometimes the pictures don’t show how cool the decorations are because of the limited angles. Also I LOVE the space themed stuff and the little fuzzball pets. Great job, guys! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect! *2018-11-03, version 0.5494* This game is exactly what I was looking for! It's cute, it's customizable, no mini games, and only a little difficult so I'm happy with it. I would only suggest I get less fish in my booster packs xD Every time I see a fish after opening one I do a mental face palm. Oh! And more seats please! I never have enough seats or matching beds ### 5/5 — My money went negative problem *2018-07-09, version 0.4500* I love house decorating and this is like the best house decorating ever except that my money glitched and is like negative 298479573887 well a high random number so I cant use my money. Plz help im trying a redownload right now so I hope it works. ### 5/5 — ADDICTING *2018-01-21, version 0.4500* When I was young, I used to play this game ALL THE TIME. It's a great game but there might be some bugs/ crashes. ### 5/5 — Great game for passing the time w/ a challenge *2017-04-10, version 0.4333* The game is great for passing the time, and even has some challenge to it!!!
