### 4/5 — 11 months since new levels

*2023-05-27*

I’m at the end of the game and loved it all. Update log shows that they had added new levels about every 2 months, but it has been 11 months since new levels have been added. Maybe there was a hiccup and delay. Haven’t uninstalled due to hope, but if no new levels by July then I’ll assume that it ended. It was months of great fun while it lasted.  Hope to see more. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Great game. Need more “rooms”

*2023-02-28*

I’m on level 2,422. I love the game enough to keep playing but I have over 850,00 coins and nothing to spend them on. I’ve done all the available renovations. Been waiting almost a year now for new spaces to be added. 

My only other complaints are I wish lives regenerated faster and a free daily prize or similar option to win a few diamonds.

### 3/5 — Great game

*2023-01-29, version 1.2.3*

Love this game but it’s frustrating. There’s no way to earn gems throughout the game and there’s no new game content. Will there be an update?

### 2/5 — No update for months now

*2023-01-16, version 1.2.3*

If you want a 3 match game that has an end, this is one. I reached the last level months ago. It hasn’t been updated in ages. It’s too bad because I actually liked it.

### 4/5 — Good game…but not the easiest

*2022-12-08, version 1.2.3*

I love this game.. it has beautiful designs…but literally every other level is a hard level.. I love a challenge but not if you have to repeat the same level for 2 days, or pay.. still, I am addicted :)

### 3/5 — Purchase Tricks

*2022-11-07, version 1.2.3*

The game is fun but they make it so hard to win games because they want you to purchase in game aids. Not fun.

### 3/5 — Best garden game but…

*2022-07-27, version 1.2.3*

It would be nice to earn free lives, boosts and gems. How can you expect anyone to be able to afford to pay for lives in a game these days?  Also, when are you coming out with events? I love the garden and landscaping in this game. It’s the best. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Update please

*2022-07-26, version 1.2.3*

Please update there are no more gardens!!!!!

### 3/5 — Good luck

*2022-07-23, version 1.2.3*

There’s no way to get diamonds in this game unless you purchase them. Therefore there’s no extra moves and no lives beyond the five given. They have a crazy 30 minute timer before you get a new one. I’m rapidly losing interest bc progression is minimal. I’ve seen other reviews mentioning watching ads to get two more moves but my game hasn’t given me the option. Seems like just another money grab.

### 2/5 — Pay to win

*2022-06-12, version 1.2.2*

I was enjoying this app and the gardens are so pretty until I got up high enough to realize it’s just another pay to win match three game. The App Store is full of them.

### 4/5 — I like it but…

*2022-06-07, version 1.2.2*

I wish I could get my gems I earned and other things I earned without having to pay real money to receive them

### 2/5 — App needs help

*2022-05-31, version 1.2.2*

Level 123 & 124 are flashing and jumping! I have updated the app and restarted my iPhone and it still is flashing. Please fix this, as I love the game but this is insane!!

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2022-05-18, version 1.1.9*

I like the game. But now I can’t do the garden. It’s been saying for over a month next level coming soon. I wish I could garden again on this app.

### 3/5 — Still Waiting for More Gardens

*2022-05-14, version 1.1.9*

When? Or guess it’s just time to move on

### 4/5 — Glitch-please fix

*2022-04-29, version 1.1.9*

On chapter 3 Pond-ing Time I go to click on a furniture box bubble and it disappears not giving me the option to purchase it and choose which piece. I’m not able to move on to continue creating the garden. Please help thank you! Other than that I love this game

### 3/5 — Whyyyyyyy

*2022-04-08, version 1.1.9*

I love this game so much! It was my favorite!!! Until I ran out of makeovers. It’s been over a month & no update. They deleted my last review about updates & I'm sure they will delete this one. Why not just let us know if there will be updates or not?  Moving on I suppose 😞

### 4/5 — Levonne

*2022-04-02, version 1.1.9*

I love this game!! I’m just waiting on the new levels to come out!!🤷‍♀️

### 2/5 — I wanted to like it

*2022-03-18, version 1.1.9*

The flowers are so pretty that I really wanted this game to work out. The goals are ridiculous. I struggled way too early on. Another game bites the dust because they want you to spend real money on things for the game. I’m willing to spend up to three dollars on a game for the phone and if it’s within that price range I will pay to get rid of ads which this one actually didn’t have. However I will not keep spending money just to pass levels. I play games to have fun and to pass time. If levels are too hard it is no fun.

### 4/5 — This COULD be such a great game…

*2022-03-14, version 1.1.9*

But it needs some work. It’s very similar to their other home makeover game which is my absolute favorite game ever. I play that one a LOT and spend soooo much money on piggy banks - I’m actually ashamed 😂

The problem is that it’s slow - the graphics can’t keep up with the pace of the game so when a lot is happening it glitches a little. It seems like they just need to make some improvements to the graphics and it could be just as fun as home makeover. 

Another thing is that when you make a bomb or whatever and combine it with a butterfly or another bomb, it doesn’t make a super bomb - it just acts like a normal one. Hard to put that into words sorry 😂. Or when the rainbow thing combines with a bomb it should make all of the other ones of the same color a bomb too and it doesn’t, it just clears the color. 

I hope they make the improvements because Home makeover is the only game in this genre that I really like and this one is sooooo close to being my next go-to game. I really really hope!

### 1/5 — Save your money nothing past level 26 for months

*2023-06-29*

There are no more levels in the chapter. No way to contact anyone it just tells you coming soon for months and months and months. I am deleting it today. I have spent money in the past on this game because it was fun. I don’t get half of the options that other players would get because I can’t play the game properly because all of my, options are gone they say they’re gonna load a new chapter. I haven’t seen it yet. Frustrated, it’s one of those games that’s a commercial and other games. I only have two games loaded. This was one of them. I am now down to one game in one game only

### 1/5 — No more updates

*2022-12-20, version 1.2.3*

I’m on level 1516 and have all kinds of coins to spend, but there are no more levels to spend them on.  There have been no updates for months. I’m assuming they’ve given up on this, and I guess I will have to too.

### 1/5 — This game is a total scam for real money

*2022-11-22, version 1.2.3*

This game is a total scam. No daily bonuses, chests or anything extra. It’s bare bones unless you of course buy daily chests and bonuses with real money. The levels eventually get very hard and almost impossible without power ups which you also never get unless you spend real money.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2022-10-12, version 1.2.3*

I’m going to assume that there will be no more updates. I absolutely LOVED this game, but I’m going to delete it. It has been months with no updates.

### 1/5 — Major glitch

*2022-06-24, version 1.2.3*

It kicks me out every time after time I get to a new level!

### 1/5 — Pass on by

*2022-06-24, version 1.2.3*

You think it may be fun, but you’ll never earn power ups. The company only provides if you pay.

### 1/5 — Toooo hard

*2022-03-27, version 1.1.9*

This would be a really fun game, but the levels are too hard which takes away from the fun.

### 1/5 — Made it to level 140

*2022-01-29, version 1.1.4*

I really enjoyed this game at the beginning, but then like all games in this genre it became harder and harder to pass a level. I got to level 140 and had to play this game over 25 times and still didn’t pass it. That is more aggravation than this game is worth. You have the option of looking at a video for a measly 2 more tries! Video after video. I play these games to relax, not to be aggravated. I guess it’s on to the next game now if I can find one.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2022-01-26, version 1.1.4*

There’s no incentive to login every day, the levels are hard right after the first yard, they don’t even give you the first few boosters free, everything is buy buy buy and not enough moves for each level.  I deleted halfway through the second yard I play games to relieve stress not to be stressed and hounded for money

### 1/5 — I’m On Level 825

*2022-01-23, version 1.1.4*

This game has the potential to be the BEST game in its genre on the App Store BUT…
You play a level which the developer has designed too few moves to win, so you watch an ad for two more moves which still aren’t enough to win, so you watch another ad for two more moves but don’t win, so you watch another ad and then receive a message you are out of moves OR if you chose not to watch an ad for extra moves you still have to watch an ad to restart the level.  I understand ads generate revenue to further develop the game; however, when you are spending more time watching ads than in gameplay you grow weary.  I would gladly purchase a package for no ads but this is not an option.  Why would I purchase your gem package to help complete the levels when I would still be inundated with ads?  Additionally, at level 825 I would have to spend at least $50 on a package to have enough gems to even pass a few levels.  My only hope is the developers raked in enough revenue over the hundreds of ads I’ve watched to turn this into a masterpiece.  Sadly, I’ll never see it because I refuse to watch one more ad!

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2023-02-23, version 1.2.3*

Such a wonderful game. From gameplay to earning in-game currency to design. Every single part of this game is perfect. The story attached to each level is genuinely fun to invest in and the gameplay is addictive. This game avoids the pitfalls similar games have with their pay-to-progress models. This game has zero adds and I just beat all available levels without spending a dime. Power ups can be purchased with gems which you do have to pay for after spending the set amount you’re given at the start of the game but I didn’t miss anything by not having them. Excitedly waiting for the next chapter to come out because even after 1,352 levels, this is my favorite casual mobile game to date. As a hardcore fan, DO NOT SLEEP ON DREAM GARDEN MAKEOVER IT SLAPS.

### 5/5 — Beautifully illustrated landscape architecture game

*2022-09-26, version 1.2.3*

Educational focus, female characters, and realistic plant illustrations. I’m impressed! If you want to dream about your garden and not have to lift anything more than your fingers, you’ll probably also love it. I’d love even more educational content. I just wish I could put in the dimensions of my own garden and do my planning through this!

### 5/5 — Update!!!

*2022-04-08, version 1.1.9*

I love this game. You guys just did an update but when are you going to add more gardens. I’ve done them all. It says coming soon but I’ve been waiting weeks. Please please hurry and get more gardens!!! 🙂

### 5/5 — Love this game!

### 5/5 — Fun times!

*2021-12-20, version 1.0.8*

What a great diversion during crazy Holiday times! I love the storyline, the very colorful animation, and the fact that it’s non-violent and appropriate for anyone no matter what their age.
