I have a hard time with pop ups that interupt game play and felt this app had an extended tutorial time which had pop ups or interupted play. I love how the flowers grow and you collect them in this one (you feed the shining bugs to a toad for flowers in flutter starlight(the moth one)). Like the salt water pondgame I struggled with the pop ups on this app and as much as I love the concept and the art, the facts, etc, i just found this too frustrating. I do love how your apps can be so similar and yet all are different! That’s brilliant. So where this app, starlight, and your bird app are all similar, they also all have general gameplay differences, little things like the tutorial styles. Great app ### 4/5 — Problem signing into my game after update and didn’t save my progress at all *2026-06-09, version 4.073* After installing the update on my phone ,I have lost all my progress I had in my garden ,back to square one when I first started this game,it’s signed into the right account but all progress I had was lost,but on my tablet I skipped the update because I’m afraid of losing my progress I have ,same account but different on my phone ### 4/5 — Bugged Update *2026-06-09, version 4.073* After the update which made logging in get fixed, the event currently ongoing had almost finished, will there be a re run to compensate for lost time? ### 4/5 — Issue with Update *2026-06-02, version 4.068* It won’t let me install the newest update. When I open the app it asks me if I want to update and when I hit yet, it takes me to the App Store but the option is not there to update. All it offers for me is to open the app. Other than that the game is amazing. Except for Sylvia. I hate the Guardian Event…the little spirits dodging being caught makes me rage. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-31, version 4.070* This game have all the butterflies that I know if they have a update that do the tiny farm fill of butterflies. You will catch them with your net. ### 5/5 — Good game. *2026-05-30, version 4.070* Yep ### 3/5 — Sound not working *2026-05-19, version 4.066* Downloaded the game and it has no sound or music ### 4/5 — Süß und entspannend *2026-04-27* Kleine Falter, die über den Bildschirm fliegen, kleine Fakten zu echten Spezies und echt gut gemachtes, niedliches Design. Da es hier um reale Spezies geht, ist das super gut. Nur die deutsche Übersetzung ist nicht ganz so ordentlich und irgendwann kann es sein, dass man in Honigtau versinkt, ohne wirklich weiterzukommen oder was anderes, als Walderweiterungen, damit erwerben zu können. Deswegen nur 4/5 Sternen. Man bemerke auf jeden Fall: Entspannungsfaktor 100%, wenn man sich die Falter auch nur eine Minute anschaut! **Developer response:** Danke für dein tolles Feedback 🦋 Es freut uns, dass dir die echten Arten, die Fakten und die entspannte Stimmung gefallen. Danke auch für den Hinweis zur deutschen Übersetzung und zur Honigtau Balance, das ist hilfreiches Feedback für uns. ### 3/5 — Butterflies *2026-04-22, version 4.062* I love your butterflies they are so cute and this game is so calming but some butterflies take too long to hatch especially the butterflies that are unknown and the unknown ones are the ones that I most like because it’s like a surprise but it takes too long ### 5/5 — AMAZING 🤩 *2026-04-21, version 4.062* It just makes me cry because of how beautiful this game is please buy this game now ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-04-20, version 4.062* It’s a really fun interactive game to play with the butterflies and it’s basically like a simulator except you grow things ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-04-12, version 4.062* 5.0 ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2026-04-11, version 4.062* I used to play this with Netflix games I’m glad it’s back but sad that I have to start all over again ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2026-04-03, version 4.062* I’ve been playing this game on and off since middle school and I’m about to graduate college. It’s such a simple formula but it’s so satisfying and I haven’t minded restarting every time I’ve updated devices (really happy y’all have added an Apple login so I can save my progress now!). Iconic butterfly design & amazing concept, I love collecting and learning about what I spend time building. Thanks Runaway! ### 5/5 — I’m in love! *2026-03-22, version 4.062* I absolutely love this game, it’s relaxing and has no forced ads! It has beautiful graphics and lovely butterflies! If you love this game I suggest you play their other game, Flutter: Starlight. They are pretty similar but Starlight has moths and different creatures! Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Love your games *2026-03-17, version 4.062* We really need a player appreciation gift soon! ### 4/5 — Fix this bug *2026-03-15, version 4.062* I have been playing this game for a while, I just recently got a new phone to play this game and not even 10 minutes later the game lags out. I really love this game, but every few minutes the game crashes and I have to refresh it. Please fix it because I really love this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing every few minutes *2026-05-08, version 4.062* Stunning art and no ads, but the game freezes and crashes every few minutes. Just downloaded it and played for a couple hours and it crashed at least 10 times. Each time it makes me lose some progress when it does so. This is on 3 different devices, so it’s not just my device either. This is unsustainable. Between the crashes and the aggressive pay to play rather than one off purchase, this is not a keeper. ### 1/5 — Flowers *2026-04-10, version 4.062* I got really into this game however I’ve reached the point where whenever I expand the forest, it gives me another flower. When the game gives you another flower however, I guess it means that there’s no space for no butterflies, so expand the place and it doesn’t make more room but expansion gets more expensive and so basically with the same butterflies I’ve had for over two weeks has to make the square root of 4 of $50,000 while not making any more money because I’m not allowed to have anymore butterflies. I want to like this game so much but I dont know how much longer I can do this, especially if I just expand to another flower. Which doesnt make any money, mind you. What is the point of giving me flowers if I’m not able to have anymore butterflies? This is making me very angry. ### 1/5 — Sick of always having to sign in *2026-03-12, version 4.062* I’ve been playing for a long time. After the update the game lost a lot of functionality and fun. Every now and then I still try and play because I’ve gotten so far in the game. It’s just annoying because after the update it makes me sign in every time? Such a hassle compared to the other flutter night game. ### 1/5 — Recent updates broke the game *2026-03-07, version 4.061* Deep into this game, and it was almost perfect for a long time. But now, I watch an ad to cut 30 minutes off a 2-hour egg; yet afterward, the time remaining is still 1:58. Or I put the game down overnight, yet the next morning the time remaining on 2-hour spirit guardian requests is 1:57. Annoying and frustrating. UPDATE 3/6/26: I play for a few minutes, it locks up and I have to force-quit. Every. Single. Time. ### 1/5 — Lost my account *2026-02-28, version 4.061* Can’t find my account so I reached out and nobody answered for days, customer support was literally no help at all. Was connected to my Facebook but now they removed that so I don’t know how to log into my account and I tried everything. So sad because I actually liked this game. Very disappointed. And it keeps glitching. ### 1/5 — Recent updates broke the game *2026-02-16, version 4.061* Deep into this game, and it was almost perfect for a long time. But now, I watch an ad to cut 30 minutes off a 2-hour egg; yet afterward, the time remaining is still 1:58. Or I put the game down overnight, yet the next morning the time remaining on 2-hour spirit guardian requests is 1:57. Annoying and frustrating. ### 1/5 — minhas borboletas SUMIRAM *2026-02-12* jogo esse jogo a uns dois meses e entro todos os dias mas hoje pediram uma atualização, atualizei e quando entrei todas as minhas borboletas sumiram, sobrou apenas a mais comum do jogo, muito injusto estou muito triste **Developer response:** Que chato, desculpe.

One day you can just lose your entire forest save, and support can be utterly USELESS in trying to help. No, I did not 'close the app before saving!' or 'erase my data!', my ENTIRE GAME is gone. I can't even access the game file via my apple ID or runaway account. ### 1/5 — Game is broken *2026-02-05, version 4.056* I updated the game and now every time I open it, it shuts down. I can’t get in, please fix this ### 1/5 — One star *2026-01-17, version 4.056* I dont recommend this game, I played with it for 6 months and suddenly lost all data and I have to start over. No thanks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love flutter!?!? *2026-08-01, version 4.073* I love the butterfly on my head too and it is very beautiful to look up at the sun with a beautiful sunset on it as well this game was created for fun and cozycore fun ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2026-07-30, version 4.073* I am an adult 22 years old and this game is so calming and nostalgic it it’s so cared for and carefully made I just love it please never stop updating ### 5/5 — so soothing *2026-07-26, version 4.073* fun and educational ### 5/5 — Best Wholesome Games Ever *2026-07-23, version 4.073* I played this game by myself before. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-07-13, version 4.073* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Updates cause issues *2026-06-26, version 4.073* I’ve been playing this game for a few years now and really enjoy it. Sadly, as of late, each update brings another fault. The update before the latest has my game freezing while feeding the frog. This latest update has my game freezing while fusing butterflies. I’ve invested time and some money in this game and it’s starting to be come less enjoyable as I have to wait and restart the game to unfreeze it. It’s not my device as I also have Bird Kind and this is fine. ### 5/5 — 很有趣的游戏，让我认识到很多蝴蝶 *2026-06-12, version 4.073* 我希望在商店里面可以用蝴蝶钱币买到一些装饰 ### 5/5 — I CANT LOG IN AFTER UPDATING!!!! *2026-06-06, version 4.072* I updated the app and now I can’t log in to the game!!!!! Fix this now!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game but a problem *2026-06-02, version 4.068* This game is very awesome. But Right now!!!! The game is saying there is an update. But when I go to the l place to update there is no update to update??? I think the game is buggged. Can you please fix it ### 5/5 — ログイン出来なくなりました *2026-06-01* 楽しく遊ばせてもらってます。ところが4日ほど前からログイン出来ずサーバーエラーという文字が出てしまいます。 サポート用アドレスに連絡もしましたが返事が来ません…。もう諦めるしか無いのでしょうか。 ──────────── ↑この数日後にお返事をいただき、無事にゲームを再開することができました。 また可愛い蝶の箱庭を楽しませていただきます。 **Developer response:** ゲームを再開できたとのことで、本当によかったです！これからも可愛い蝶たちの箱庭を楽しんでいただけたら嬉しいです。温かいレビューをありがとうございます 🦋 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
