I used to adore this game, but the bank crashes the game, several actions cause sparkles to cover the screen that never go away… I’m disappointed because I was so keen to re-play this game. Support page seems to no longer exist too. ### 2/5 — Scam? Maybe *2026-05-07, version 2.6123* Was enjoying the game I bought vip it didn’t register that I’d purchased VIP and then it kicked me off the game and now every time the game loads it just completely goes back to my home screen and isn’t working anymore and customer support also has some kind of error so they can’t help. Really wish it worked loved the game till that happened. ### 3/5 — Doesn't load whatsoever *2026-04-28, version 2.6123* I've loved this game since I tried on the switch but it doesn't load so it's sad ### 3/5 — Saved data won’t run *2025-12-15, version 2.6123* Great game! I played a lot before and now I’m trying to play again where I left off. But the saved data won’t restore and the game wants me to start from the beginning! If I have to start from the beginning I’m uninstalling it and never playing again. I did way too much to start from the beginning again! Please help restore my saved data! If I get it restored I’ll change the rating and give you 5 stars! But also this game get zero support! Jk updates nothing! So it’s pretty much unplayable in my current iPhone OS. Sucks! The review are top notch too. People love it. No idea why the devs stopped supporting it! ### 2/5 — uh *2025-11-02, version 2.6123* I opened the app, some sponsor logos came up then I was stuck on a black screen.. ### 4/5 — Love the game but can't use stock market *2025-04-08, version 2.6123* I am playing this game and I LOVED IT! Only problem is the town hall, means the bank and stock market system is not working on my iOS. Kindly solve this issue ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2023-12-06, version 2.6123* I would rate it 5 stars but the task are so hard: Amelia wants me to grow a tree in the beach but I can’t grow a tree in the beach. the moose wants me to plant flowers around his house I tried but nothing happened. Please send some helpful videos or let the animals help us. ### 4/5 — Fun game but a few glitches *2022-10-11, version 2.6123* I love this game but every time I place a puzzle piece the stars will keep on my screen even after I click the “X” button and when I click on a deal at the bank it freezes and I think that it is way too hard to get puzzle pieces and that to upgrade your tent to a house is too expensive and to build some stuff is too expensive so I would love it if you could lower some of the prices and make it easier to get more puzzle pieces pls pls pls pls pls pls pls ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2022-10-10, version 2.6123* I want to like this game but there are so many bugs/issues that make it difficult to play - The controls are not great. I would love a joystick to control the character instead of tapping all over to move - The energy is used so quickly you can barely get anything done. Maybe if each item had 20 energy you could actually play the game for more than 5 seconds - I can’t contact support because the website doesn’t work. - The game won’t let me back out of the screen after making a deposit at the bank - anytime I unlock something the sparkles won’t go away until I close out of the game - the game doesn’t seem formatted for iPhone because information is cut off - farming is such a pain! I keep clicking the silo icon when I want to water the plants sometimes the watering icon doesn’t show up ### 4/5 — Decent time waster *2022-07-14, version 2.6123* As a Animal Crossing fan I had to try this and for £2/3 months I have unlimited access to the game. There is bugs which bring it down. It’s generally good with gameplay. Usual stuff fishing, collecting bugs, quests etc. graphics are cute. Only been playing a few days so not seen any other seasons other than summer. The items are plenty and I like to collect things. Wished Devs would finish sorting bugs out as I can see a lot of love have been put into this game and people are still playing it in 2022! ### 4/5 — VIP *2022-04-06, version 2.6123* Paid for 3 months vip and I’m not getting the vip stuff, but overall great game ### 3/5 — Love it but takes your money. *2022-03-25, version 2.6123* So I love this game. However, I tried to purchase pearls two times and the game glitched on me however it still took $4.99 from my account TWICE and never got the pearls. So I will be uninstalling this game as I don’t forsee myself ever getting the $9 back. If you want to play it for fun and NOT spend money then go for it but if you’re wanting to purchase things - DONT. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Purchase *2026-09-03, version 2.6123* I’ve purchased the VIP and some petals and I was charged for these purchases but didn’t get them … ### 1/5 — Lags *2026-06-03, version 2.6123* Lags terribly ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-04-02, version 2.6123* I’ve tried downloading this game twice now and it just keeps crashing. Even the app support doesn’t work. Very disappointing and frustrating. ### 1/5 — unplayable *2026-02-20, version 2.6123* it appears this app has not been updated for a very long time and is no longer supported as it will not open even on newer iphone models (15 pro max, 16 pro max & 17 pro max on newest ios) all 3 unable to open the game. it crashes immediately upon launch. i have no idea what the content of this game is and i’m sure once upon a time, it was something worthwhile but in its current state, it’s completely unplayable and it’s a waste to keep an unsupported, unplayable game on the app store. ### 1/5 — App Keeps Crashing *2026-02-16, version 2.6123* I was so stoked about this!! It looked and sounded and felt like animal crossing and then it wouldn’t open. I wanna give this another shot i’m just hoping the devs see this and fix the app. as soon as the app is fixed i’ll give ya 5 stars if the gameplay was as fun as the tutorial. ### 1/5 — I really wish I could play *2026-02-07, version 2.6123* This game won’t even launch on my phone. I have an iPhone 14 Plus and I downloaded the app but now it won’t even open. It just fails a second into opening it each time. That sucks. Looks like a cool game. I’m trying to pass time when I don’t have access to coral island and was looking for something similar ### 1/5 — Game won’t work *2025-10-07, version 2.6123* Downloaded this game looked fun my pictures, only to see the game doesn’t work and stuck on screen with no image. ### 1/5 — 1* *2024-10-08, version 2.6123* Game is good but the control button is not really user friendly. ### 1/5 — Ko tải đc *2022-03-18, version 2.6123* Sao tôi tải ko đc mong nhà sản xuất rep ### 1/5 — Too buggy *2022-01-23, version 2.6123* I think this game could be good but it is riddled with bugs. Reading old reviews from two years ago show that these same bugs (stars covering screen when completing puzzles, vip not working, broken bank screen..etc) have been around for at least two years without being fixed. The game is sadly unplayable, and appears like it will remain so for the foreseeable future. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Animal Crossing: New Horizons *2026-02-16, version 2.6123* I like it! ### 5/5 — Lolll best game ever *2025-09-11, version 2.6123* I used to play this game when i was little and no joke just spent an hour searching for the name of it- 😭 ### 5/5 — UPDATE IT PLS *2025-06-21, version 2.6123* I love this game but y’all have to update it at some point? ### 5/5 — Help *2025-03-31, version 2.6123* I love this game but my VIP isn’t working. I purchased the VIP 1 week ago and I am lvl 15 and I am still not receiving any of the vip bonus and I can’t get a refund back from apple please help ### 5/5 — Found a little glitch *2024-05-09, version 2.6123* The game is great I find it enjoyable with some relaxing music but I did find a little glitch where when you tap on the puzzle pieces for a bridge the puzzle piece disappears as it should with little white stars but for me the little white stars keep appearing on the screen though I’m not even on the bridge puzzle piece screen (and sorry if I made a little difficult to understand) ### 5/5 — I love the game, but can you fix the bank *2023-08-01, version 2.6123* I try to click on “Banking deals,” the pop up goes blank and I have to restart the app. Can you do anything to fix this? I can’t choose any rates. ### 5/5 — Keeps you busy *2023-05-26, version 2.6123* Good time killer ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2022-10-02, version 2.6123* But can you please see if there is a glitch with the puzzle. Mine keeps sparkling so much it is annoying me because it carries on after I close the tab. And also, please add those new features Gordon tells you about? ### 5/5 — Very good game *2022-05-01, version 2.6123* Very good game,i play it when there is no internet and best of all,it gives me animal crossing vibes 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — We needed ACNH to be like this *2022-04-12, version 2.6123* While Animal crossing new horizons had many things to do, I feel like this had even more and you won’t get bored of it. It has many shops that are New Leaf style, many ways to make money, there is so much I actually forgot about upgrading my house! Overall, this is a great game if you’re getting a bit bored of new horizons. But... I still don’t know why bugs are so fast... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
