There is nothing wrong with the internet. The app is messed up. It is downloaded, but will not load. Would love to play this app, but can’t. ### 2/5 — Fairy tale city *2017-04-27, version 1.8.7* Every time I try to buy a house or animal it goes back to home page please fix this bug ### 3/5 — Great Game but the membership doesn't work *2016-08-05, version 1.8.7* I was playing the game fine until tradigy struck. I could not open the store and I crashed every time I did. I later found out it was because of the YESGNOME membership and that is what ruined my life. however if you experience this just simply save it to Game Center and then delete the app. this is truthfully one of the most tragic things to happen gamecenter ### 3/5 — Good but *2016-03-10, version 1.8.7* This game is good but it keeps kicking me out of it. ### 3/5 — Cannot open store *2016-03-08, version 1.8.7* I have been playing for months and quite enjoying myself. But for some reason I am no longer capable of opening the store to purchase anything. The game just closes. ### 2/5 — Very frustrating! *2016-03-05, version 1.8.7* I started playing this game a few years ago but got frustrated and quit. I went back to it recently and now I remember why I quit. I really hate that it never opens correctly the first time. Then, it's either impossible to click in the right place to do what you want or you accidentally buy land with jewels you didn't mean to and can't refund it. I'm really ready to give up again! ### 2/5 — Confused *2015-08-14, version 1.8.7* I began playing this game and it was really cute; it then decided to take things from me and I can't figure how to get them back. Example: purchased an extension (with gems) and now it is gone but my buildings are still in that area so now I can't move them! Secondly, there are items in quests that are not even in the sections to get! Very confused and annoyed. I will be deleting game if it is not fixed soon. So please fix the game issues!! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2015-08-07, version 1.8.7* I don't like how I can't see it from a 3d dimensional. Makes it hard and zooming isn't close enough. Land cost too much to expand. ### 4/5 — Very entertaining *2012-09-18, version 1.3.1* Easy to learn and fun to play. I like the fact that gems are reasonably available for earning. Just hard enough to keep me playing but not so difficult that I get get annoyed and loose interest as so many games cause me to do after the first few levels. I particularly enjoy the fairytale element to it, but I do wish it was possible to zoom out a bit more, as it can be difficult to collect from tall businesses in the top most corner. I realize I could simply move the tall items, but then it would be difficult to get to short items behind them and as space is limited, zooming out a bit more would be quite useful for me. ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2012-07-18, version 1.3.1* Nice that you can earn gems now but still got major complaints. What about? THE COST OF EVERYTHING the stupid crops are too expensive the decor is and buildings are too expensive and there's NO WAY expansions are suppose to be that expensive $50,000 for the first one? Even tap pet hotel didn't charge that much. How are you ever suppose to get anywhere with such outrageous prices for everything? Either change it or people (including me) will quit playing UPDATE: Back after a year or so and everything STILL seems expensive. On top of that a lot of things are "members only" yet when I try to sign up an error message pops up saying the server isn't available FIX THIS MAN 😡💢😡💢👿💢👿💢 UPDATE: Grrrr I don't believe this except for the interface you've changed NOTHING. Why are the crops that take the longest give out the least? Why are they still so expensive? WHY IS POPULATION GROWTH SO RELIANT ON COMMUNITY BUILDINGS YET YOU HARDLY HAVE ANY??? PS: picking crops is ridiculous too, 3 times already I've been trying to scroll thru and instead it makes me plant stupid crops I don't even want. Wasn't that way before now all of a sudden it is, foul ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP *2023-07-09* I just wanted a game all about fairy tales. I looked up fairy tale games and I saw this app. I downloaded it in seconds. I was so excited to use it! I went my Home Screen and tapped on it. It started loading. I thought it was pretty normal. Five minutes later it was still loading. Ten minutes later, still loading. Finally something popped up and said it wouldn’t connect to the internet. Then I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — My internet is working but the game says I have no internet connection, so I can't play *2021-12-01, version 1.8.7* Please fix ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2020-01-04, version 1.8.7* I’ve tried opening the app from my phone and tablet and it keeps saying “network error”. Couldn’t even launch it for the 1st time. :( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-12-28, version 1.8.7* Tells me it needs internet, I’m connected to the internet. Servers appear to be down for this app. ### 1/5 — No internet? *2019-06-28, version 1.8.7* It keeps saying no internet ### 1/5 — So Cute BUTTTT *2018-11-24, version 1.8.7* You really MESS up the cute GAME, would gave you a 5 rate but, TO HIGH, LESS DIAMONDS, AND ALMOST DIAMONDS BUY CROPS, AND OTHER THINGS,AND TO HIGH YO BUY LAND, JUST STARTED AND SEE YOUR GAME IS RUIN. I CAN’T INVITE NO ONE, TO HIGH, HOPE YOU CHANCE THE DIAMONDS, $$$$ , WHAT ARE YOUTHINKING. ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2016-07-24, version 1.8.7* Impossible to play without spending money on jewels. ### 1/5 — Game looks fun *2016-02-06, version 1.8.7* The game looks fun but, every time I go to the store, the game exits. I am on IOS 9.1. Please fix the potential fun game. I will change this to 5 stars once this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Ok until updates ruined the game for me *2015-07-29, version 1.8.7* The recent update has made it impossible to keep playing the game..the game exits and I can not enter the shop to move forward in my quests..I had to delete the game but now I have to start all over from the beginning and it's still kicking me out..if it's not fixed I'm going to delete and recommend not to play brand games..sorry but not worth the hassle of its not gonna get fixed.. ### 1/5 — Boo! New update is horrible!! *2015-06-28, version 1.8.7* The new update is terrible!!!!! I can't access the market without my game crashing. Going to delete it soon if things don't improve!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun so far *2015-09-17, version 1.8.7* Only a week into it, but it's great for mindless fun passing time and a little entertainment. ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-08-23, version 1.8.7* Fantastically different than other fairytale games ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-07-22, version 1.8.7* I downloaded it to see what it was all about. An been playing it since. ### 5/5 — Wonderful!!!!!! *2015-07-12, version 1.8.7* Great game totally worth it!!! Such a cute Game!!! New update is great totally improved the game!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Cheerful *2012-08-02, version 1.3.1* Bright, cheerful palette, cute storybook look, and the presence of famous characters from fairy tales makes this family-friendly village building game stand out from the crowd. Social features do not require Facebook, and signing up for membership is not required, so younger children can play without parents needing to worry so much. Earning free gems is not hard at all, and includes visiting friends, downloading apps and trying them, and collecting certain items. All in all one of the least greedy freemium games around. Kudos. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2012-06-04, version 1.3* It is great that not only do the Collectables give you energy they also give you gems. I don't know why people think you have to spend money. I haven't and I have an amazing City. It's called playing smart! Great game and have a wonderful time playing if only all energy games were this much fun. I think it is smart to use energy at first I was against it, however, how much time do you really want to spend on games every has a life to live... Live it! and while you do enjoy the games while the energy last. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2012-05-20, version 1.2.1* I'm on Level 9 now. I've been playing for a couple of days here and there. I haven't unlocked Snow white's house yet. I hope it doesn't disappear on me as it did with another reviewer. So far the game is super cute. I love all the fairy tale characters popping by for a visit and to ask for help (goals). Without the goals the game would be a bit boring. I'm not sure how the money and spending will be later on higher levels. So far it's been very well balanced. Doesn't take too long to earn gold, but it's not too easy either. There is heavy reliance on gems (?) that you can earn to a certain degree, but can be purchased with real money. At level 9 it hasn't hindered my enjoyment of the game. And my 3 year old loves to tap on the characters to make them say hello. There aren't any in game pop ups aside from one at the very beginning. And the sounds are cute. Update. At level 18 now and can not stop playing this game! It's very difficult to increase the size of the town/village/kingdom though. So mine is very crowded now. :(. Other than that I'm really loving this game. ### 4/5 — the game does not load keeps saying no network but i have internet and mobile data *2023-09-30* h ### 4/5 — 😄😁 *2016-05-15, version 1.8.7* Good game...until it froze. Now, I have to download this AGAIN and start all over! ### 4/5 — Good but could use some work *2015-09-10, version 1.8.7* I have been looking for a cute and simple town building game for a while. This game has okay graphics, although the menu is weirdly small. It's a decent game, nothing amazing. My only big complaint is that extra land costs way too much compared to other items in the game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
