### 3/5 — Betrayed

*2026-08-26, version 4.41.1*

I’ve been playing this game for awhile and always enjoy the events however I feel that they need to give a timer or warning before an event starts as for some reason my app only just switched to “path to Draggalachia” despite the event starting out on July 30th meaning I’ve missed out on a large chunk of the event. This is frustrating because I was looking forward to the next event and was not able to enjoy it because I got no notice or update it was even happening until more than half way through which means I miss out in the daily prizes of the event. I feel very betrayed by this game. That being said it is a lovely game most of the time and I recommend it.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite mobile games

*2026-08-20, version 4.41.1*

I have loved Dragonvale since it first came out, it still has its nostalgic classic art style but consistently adds more unique dragons to collect. Almost always has an event going on so the game is usually not too repetitive. I love decorating my islands. I hope they never stop maintaining the game with their consistent updates and events for us devoted players! This game means a lot to me! Shoutout to the developers!

### 1/5 — Bugs & Glitches Galore

*2026-08-19, version 4.41.1*

I have no clue what happened to this game, but it is full of bugs and glitches.  Do not waste your time watching videos from the hot air balloon as 50% of the time it freezes and a message appears stating “Oops Tolzar Detected Something Went Wrong” and it cheats you out of the item you were supposed to receive.  Same thing if you watch videos to speed up hatch times.  Same stupid message.  And, this is super hilarious, if you e-mail support, always the same reply “Please reply with a screenshot or detailed video showing the problem.”  This game has went to trash in the last few years.

### 5/5 — Soooo nostalgic

*2026-08-18, version 4.41.1*

Hey! I first played this game with my older sibling when I was in PRESCHOOL. I have so many fond memories of this game growing up and is up there in my favorite childhood things with mac and cheese, scooby-doo, and The Octonauts. Imagine my glee when I download this game again after years of not playing and realize it hasn’t changed at all! Yes, there are new dragons and stuff, but it’s no longer a cash-grabbing little kids game that force-feeds you adds every other second. I’ve been logging in every day since I downloaded it again. Thanks to the devs for making my childhood.

### 1/5 — Wanted to like it

*2026-08-14, version 4.41.1*

I wanted to like this game, but every minute or so the server crashes and my progress is reset. If y’all are able to fix this, I’ll try again. But as it stands, it’s a cute, but unplayable game.

### 5/5 — Possibly the best video game ( not just mobile) of all time

*2026-08-10, version 4.41.0*

Fantastic

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-08-06, version 4.41.0*

Good. The only thing is I’m not aloud to buy ANYTHING in games. And before you say that’s not your problem, I bet there are other people who also can’t. And I’m just not getting enough gems to buy things I need. I just got this one dragon from breeding, and I’ve wanted it for ages. But I don’t have enough gems to buy it a habitat. So please either make it easier to get gems and or so you can trade money to get gems. Please consider these options! Other than that tho, this game is actually really good. 
Oh, and I HATE the new sand land update. 
Have a nice day.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-08-05, version 4.41.0*

As I am simply collecting or when I try to get bonus’ it crashes and I loose out on items. On a newer phone with latest update.

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра, но

*2026-08-02*

Не работает и вылетает. Раньше были просто долгие загрузки, сейчас вылетает вовсе. Пожалуйста исправьте баг и сделайте нормальную загрузку. Game doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Please contact us at https://support.decagames.com/hc/en-us and share as much information as you can. We will definitely investigate your case. Thank you for posting!

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game

*2026-08-02, version 4.41.0*

Awesome artwork - PLEASE amend the racing, the opponent at the top is always absurdly fast, it just doesn’t make sense. Please please please fix this to give it a fair chance at races.
