Instant paywall. No building. No upgrading. No expanding. Unless you buy those gems! Deleted it just as fast as it was downloaded. ### 5/5 — Peaceful *2026-08-21, version 1.240.0* It’s nice to build something without the threat that, while you are sleeping, someone else will wreck it. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing after latest update *2026-08-21, version 1.240.0* I am currently unable to play because the app crashes as soon as it loads into the game. I have restarted the app and my iPad but no luck :( ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-19, version 1.240.0* The game is painfully slow. I’ve been making storage supplies for a couple of days, and when I leave the app and come back to check if it's done, it's gone. The game has potential to be good, but right now it's not… There's nothing to do but wait for hours for a product to finish, just to come back and it's not ### 5/5 — Great game and really love it *2026-08-10, version 1.240.0* Peaceful and beautiful. ### 1/5 — Unapproved charges *2026-08-07, version 1.240.0* This game keeps charging my card and I don’t even play it nor have I purchased anything through it ### 5/5 — I enjoy it *2026-08-03, version 1.240.0* I like the strategy of how to get the buildings I need in the space I have. It’s best in group with other players to get rewards. ### 1/5 — Beware of unexpected charges! *2026-07-30, version 1.239.1* Beware of unexpected charges! As a first-time user, I attempted to purchase a $19.99 package, but the app immediately tried to charge my accounts $49.98 instead. This isn't the first time over the last two days I've seen this exact random amount pop up, but now I know this app is the source. I’ve officially deleted the game and definitely won't be recommending it. ### 2/5 — Review updated from 5 to 2 stars. Inno does not offer a fair playing field. *2026-07-24* After a year of playing, my affection for the game started to wane, and after 1.5 years later, I have ceased playing. Whilst it is a good game in some ways (I did get pretty stuck in, and feel I grasped how it worked and became an efficient and effective player quite fast) it became repetitive and the grind becomes boring. Though they have different events over the year, they are basically the same few game events repeated. Spire and tourney every week (I was in a gold spire and 15 chest FS) became a boring chore. I like the graphics, and some of the building animations are funny, but the use of AI to create some artwork was becoming more frequent and pretty obvious. The spire changes over a year ago were unsettling but manageable. The magic academy changes was the thing that really showed me that Inno care about money (fair enough I guess, they are a business) but importantly, they don’t seem to care about the experience of newer players. Whereas before the changes, newer players were at least able to obtain certain important buildings (e.g. brown bear, polar bear, fire phoenix) in a few months if you were proactive about it. But now that is pretty much impossible, even if you are paying to play. I found that the plans I had for my city became unachievable within a reasonable time due to these changes. New players have a big disadvantage over older players anyway, but with the removal of several important buildings from the game, they made the gap even bigger. The game also became glitchy and unstable and would crash every 5 - 10 minutes. I also think it’s pretty unethical to use volunteers instead of a properly trained and paid customer and technical support staff. Inno is not a small company, why do they not pay their staff? They could do so much to make this game appealing to a wider audience. Firstly though, Inno, please sort out your archaic and inconvenient message system. It is long overdue and players have been begging for improvements for years. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, Edenbird! ### 5/5 — Amazingly fun *2026-07-16, version 1.239.1* This game is super fun and relaxing but I was thinking it would be nice to rotate a building so it occupies the same amount of space but in a different direction it would also be nice to be able to choose the color of the buildings like right now what if I don’t want a residence on level four to be blue what if I want it to be red to match the main hall or I want the main hall to be blue but all in all it’s a amazing game that’s beautifully animated also why are the elves blue ## Frequently asked questions about Elvenar ### What is Elvenar?
