I like new update

I like Egypt update

Yu gi oh cross over

I think it would be awesome if dragonvale did a huge crossover event with yu gi oh duel monsters! There’s 821 official dragon duel monster cards that they can collab with! And it’ll be fun to see the seven millennium items within dragonvale! I mean it only makes sense since they have over a dozen Egyptian themed dragons and yu gi oh has its routes in ancient Egypt. That would shake things up within the game

DO NOT BUY

THIS GAME IS A SCAM. DO NOT PURCHASE AT ALL COSTS. If you want the cool dragons they speak of and falsely advertise in their ads FORRGETA BOUTA IT. These are pro scammers. If you want to do anything you need gems. How do you get gems you might ask? OH by spending money. I’ve been playing for 8 years and can tell you to just go play clash of clans. There is no objective and this game hasn’t improved for at least a decade. SHAME ON THE DEVELOPERS. FEEDING off of OG players. SHAME ON U

Good but could be better

I like this game but I hate being forced to go through a tutorial every time a new event occurs. If a way was added to turn it off this game would be perfect.

Perfect

I have played this game for so long and there is no better idle phone game, the ability to get resources without money while having the option to pay for more resources quickly is awesome, the ad mechanics where it is entirely optional but very beneficial is done so perfectly. Every new dragon that is introduced is so cool and the designs are so nice. The events are also such a good way to get certain resources that may take more time to get with other resources. Its just the most perfect phone game ever. Theres a reason people like myself have never stopped playing, even though I miss the days when it was hard to lose a race rather than win it. CHANGE NOTHING!

System Issues

I love this game but continuous freezing up crashing. Support has been contacted so many times by so many players and it just is not getting fixed. We have lost numerous coins event points and gems due to these issues.

Over 20 times trying to breed one dragon

I’ve been playing this game everyday for about two years and always able to breed the pair recommended for a new dragon but ever since I bought the twilight tower and the weather station I can’t breed anything new, there is no clear instruction on how to use these stations. Also, I’ve been breeding the same recommended pairings for 3 weeks in a row. Can this be explained? Or fixed?

Good game but i haven’t got alot of my gems.

I used to play dragonvale when i was little and i got it back to enjoy it once more but ive done the offer wall to get gems and it didnt give me all of them and only a few. Also when i broke the piggy bank a few minutes ago it only gave me the gift and no gems.

charged me WAY too much

I've been playing dragonvale since I was a little kid, and I just recently downloaded it again because my family members still play it, and I was bored. I made a purchase of $4.99, and obviously tax comes with it too—but I was charged $8.45. Huh..? I'm a teenager so I have like NO money, but thank god that was actually in my account. I have nowhere to get actual support because the emails aren't being monitored, and the website is trash because you can't get a hold of an actual person. Just refund me the whole thing atp. The game is JUST a waiting game. You have to be the most patient person on the planet or pay to win.

Amazing game!

I’ve had this game for about a year and I’ve played it everyday since, and I love it. The only one true complaint I have is that the islands spaces aren’t symmetrical so you don’t have the same amount of space on each side but other than that it’s a perfect game.

Avoid, since the company change they ban and don’t bother helping

I was a long standing player, since 2012 till around I think 2015? I recently got my iPhone etc to only log in and have a quest bug I reach out for help to have my park deleted/banned/suspended to be told I exploited (I provided proof with purchase receipts this wasn’t the case, granted I haven’t had an apple device or any other device to play on since 2015 since I got rid of all ways of playing) so not only have I lost the park I spent years on playing and I wouldn’t bother reaching out for help as they now won’t reply to my emails, I’ll be filing to apple to try get my money back. I miss backflip studios. I don’t even know how to mod or exploit things I’ve only ever used my card or apple balance

Nice to know despite showing proof they ignore you, so thank you John.

So players beware

Returning player

Quest to feed galaxy dragon seems bugged. Level. 74 park

Takes too long

I can see why I didn’t play this game for too long when I first installed it. I redownloaded this game on a bored whim, saw I had no progression beyond having only one dragon, and decided to give it another try. And honestly, this game is ridiculous towards new players. It shouldn’t take twelve hours to breed what are basically the beginner dragons, and another twelve to hatch them. Especially if the results are just common rarity dragons. Everything takes so much time, between breeding, hatching, and upgrading and buying buildings, so much more than other dragon collecting games I’ve played, which at least ramp up in their time requirements more gradually. I get that having things take a while promotes spending to speed things up, but this is so demotivating for new players and makes progress feel so slow that it doesn’t feel worth it to keep playing, in addition to being boring. Open the game, finish breeding, collect materials, and then close the game for another really long while until your egg can hatch. At least, that’s how it feels to me, YMMV. I’m sure for players at higher levels there’s probably more to do, but for new players, I can’t imagine many would be willing to stick around to get there or even spend money to speed the process up.

Piggy Bank

I purchased the PiggyBank and never received my reward. Support is impossible to get in touch with.

Ads not appropriate for children

We played this as a family, and good thing too. The ads start off innocent, and then grow more and more suggestive and inappropriate. So disappointing.

Brings back memories

This game was one of my favorites growing up and I had just recently rediscovered it. I am so glad that I’m able to play it again

And on a more personal note, if that’s not annoying enough, I somehow got two eggs I cannot hatch because their habitat apparently requires what I feel is a ludicrous amount of the game’s premium currency, so my hatchery is basically handicapped to hatching only one egg at a time until I get enough currency to upgrade it again. (And yes, I do see I can place those two as egg decorations instead, but I shouldn’t have to!)

Sorry for the long review. TLDR: everything takes so freaking long for a new player that I’m bored almost immediately.

Too many tutorials

I can’t control my own game and layout, too many tutorials for the wrong reason. I can’t keep my gems to use on something else. It forces me to use the gems, this game is disgusting!

This game is still grate

Been playing this game since a kid

Played since 2012

Genuinely horrible. So many issues top to bottom. DragonCity in my opinion is way better. The races are the best part and they suck. You can have the elements correct and hit all perfects and still lose. Why play a game ur destined to lose. No point. Dragon city lets you battle. Use ur dragons and much more. DragonVale I wish upgraded but it’s the same as it was in 2012
