Probably time to quit the house and dice roll play is old . ### 4/5 — 코인더주세요젭발 앙 *2026-05-12* 너무 재밌어요 시간가는줄 모르고 하고요 ㅋㅋ 근데 코인을 왜케 짜게 주시죠? 한 판에 잘 나와봐야 100?정도인데 너무 적게 주신다 정말.. 이걸 누구 코에 붙여요... 하트는 넘치게 주시면서 코인은 간에 기별도 안 가게 주시네요 Please increase the amount of coins received per round please please please **Developer response:** 안녕하세요~ 소중한 의견 감사합니다. 보내주신 의견은 디자인팀에 전달했으며, 참고하여 반영하도록 하겠습니다. 가든 어페어스를 더욱 발전시켜 주셔서 감사합니다!💕💕💕 참고로, 가든 어페어스에 대한 아이디어를 페이스북(https://www.facebook.com/GardenAffairsGame/)에 공유해 주시면 다양한 보상을 드립니다. 🎁🎁🎁 더 빠른 응대를 위해 페이스북에서 사용자 ID(설정-프로필 수정)를 알려주시면 더욱 빠르게 답변드리겠습니다. 감사합니다. 좋은 하루 보내세요 🌻 ### 4/5 — Extras are glitchy *2026-03-27, version 2.9600* I love the dice game and the homes, but they are both very glitchy. Right now I can’t buy new plots though I have enough flowers and cash. I constantly have to restart the game playing these extra modules. I’ve not had this problem with the match 3 portion, it seems very stable. Overall a fun game but I wish they’d fix the extras (and add new furniture, etc!). ### 3/5 — Too easy *2026-03-18, version 2.9500* First off, I want to say that I’m really glad you didn’t include those terrible minigames that other match 3 game do. Aside from that, I’m finding that the game is objectively extremely easy. The levels only have 4 types of objects making it very easy to get power ups. However, I feel that the main factors are the events. There are always several of them going on at once so I end up constantly having infinite starting power ups and at least an hour of infinite lives. I’ve hit level 100 and I haven’t lost once. It could just be that I haven’t gotten far enough for the difficulty to start ramping up, but so far it seems just too easy. Personally, I feel like this game is in dire need of a rebalance. ### 4/5 — LANGUAGE!!! *2025-06-15, version 2.7600* I have been playing this game a very long time and normally I love it. However, during the recent updates, I have noticed that bad language has crept into the dialog. This does not add anything to the narrative and it needs to stop now! I am sure children play this game and it is inappropriate. ### 3/5 — Reset garden affairs. *2025-06-09, version 2.7500* Most games have a way to delete or reset their progress from game to the beginning. I’m not able to find how to rest garden affairs games Apple. Version. Please respond. ### 5/5 — Best Design & Match without major bucks *2025-05-21, version 2.7400* I've played an embarrassing number of the design/match games in the App Store. All the others have quickly become frustrating unless you spend money. This game has truly creative match puzzles (with cool arrangements and match effects) and I haven't spent a penny. I'm on level 7608. I keep expecting them to force me (tempt me) to use money and I do hope they'll survive because it is a charming story with excellent game strategy and periodic new features. I think I just talked myself into buying something from them-- so they keep doing what they are doing exactly like they are doing it. But you should play it now before the economics convince them to become sharks like all the other match games I've played. ### 4/5 — Starting the game over *2025-05-20, version 2.7400* Please make a button where you can start the game over for fun without having to wait weeks for customer support. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Garden Afairs *2025-04-17, version 2.7200* Garden Afairs is a great and a positive game.You can also learn how to make the right decision and you can learn more about fashion ### 4/5 — Whenever Ads are finished the Game No longer has background Sound We do Not your Game Without Sound. *2025-03-11, version 2.6901* Hi Developers Please be advised your Game Continuously Looses the Background Sound after an Ad is played. The sound for the Ad is very clear but then there is no Game Sound once the Ad finishes. The Garden Affairs Game is Not Fun without Background Sound. This has been happening for over 2 Months now. If your Customers are unable to play your App you are loosing Money. Please either Fix the Background Game Sound or Remove the Ads. I have been playing this Game for over 3 years. It is a very Good Relaxing Game. Thank you for your Kind Consideration. 03/11/25. ### 4/5 — Double restore *2025-03-08, version 2.6901* Restore this old mansion and eventuaa as llu find yourself at the abandoned farn in north frdance ### 3/5 — Bom, mas enganoso *2025-02-22* O jogo é legal, mas os anúncios e imagens que colocaram no AppStore dão a entender que é outra história e que o jogo tem outra dinâmica. Péssimo fazer isso, a pessoa acaba baixando por ser enganada, o que é frustrante **Developer response:** Olá~ Obrigado pelo seu comentário. Todos os seus pensamentos serão registrados e entregues à equipe de desenvolvimento. Alguns dos anúncios foram suspensos. Estamos continuamente otimizando o Garden Affairs, sinta-se à vontade para se comunicar conosco se tiver alguma ideia ou problema. Obrigado pelo seu apoio!

Un gros bémol cependant… la récupération des gains automatiques et surtout les gain de temps de jeu gratuit sont cumulés et non reçu par courrier. Ce matin j’avais 5 min pour jouer, mes gains aux événements s’affichent et j’ai cumulé 1h49 de jeu que je ne pourrais pas utiliser puisque je pars travailler… mes gains sont donc perdus. J’aurais aimé les recevoir dans les courriers comme certains et les utiliser quand bon me semble. **Developer response:** Bonjour, merci pour votre commentaire.

Do bad you get one star do amazing. You’ll still get one star and I think it should be if you do really good you get more stars and if you do bad , but still pass, then you only get the one star and I’m not a big fan of the match three/ candy crush type games, but I love the decorating and the story to it. I am more of a Zen matching tile fan and wish I could find a game like this with zen tiles instead of match 3 candy crush. BUUUUTTTT, no ads , not sure if can play without wifi yet . It’s good 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I CANT PLAY?? *2026-09-01, version 2.10300* hi. Names Lizzie Yatori. First off, I’m on an iPod touch iOS 12.5 or something. anytime I open the app, it instantly crashes. Please fix this. from the reviews I’ve read, this game looks fun. -Lizzie J. Yatori (Lizzie Yatori is a nickname I use.) ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-04-19, version 2.9801* Pop ups every second ### 1/5 — Too hard once you reach a certain level *2025-12-23, version 2.8900* Once you reach a certain level they completely stall the progress needing 6 stars to move ahead. It makes the game so frustrating and slow so I’m quitting for good. ### 1/5 — Money Grabber *2025-10-09, version 2.8400* Do not spend money on this game. The levels become 100% impossible afterwards. It upset me. They offer triple of something you want for a price, and you cannot go any further. The levels become impossible. I won’t spend money on this app ever again. ### 1/5 — Не загружаются истории *2025-06-13, version 2.7600* Не загружаются истории, а точнее ресурсы игры. Не могу дальше проходить. Игра просто все время висит на 0 Мб и интернет, как пишет игра, грузит на 0 мб, хотя подключение стабильное и быстрое. Пыталась удалить учетную запись, дабы начать с нуля, а сколько по времени будет удаляться аккаунт нигде не написано. В поддержке постоянно в очереди 3, хотя сидела целый час. Не знаю уже как начать нормально играть, поддержка не отвечает игра тоже ### 1/5 — Rewards *2025-02-28, version 2.6900* When making matches, the rewards are not showing up. Causing key plays/strategy unable to happen resulting in a loss. (ie: match 5 for a star) ### 1/5 — 游戏无法运行 *2024-12-02, version 2.6400* 你们的游戏是已经停运了吗？为什么这一周都无法进入呢，每次打开都停留在99%的加载位置。打开修复工具之后，联系客服的界面也无法跳转，怎么点击都没用啊！我现在应该卸载重装还是等待你们修复这个bug？ ### 1/5 — Hasn’t Worked in a month *2024-11-28, version 2.6400* Your app is no longer working and has a repair page on the screen and guess what???? It goes no where!!!! ### 1/5 — Furniture store update *2024-10-20, version 2.6101* The game now opens to the intro to the furniture store and it’s so big on my screen that I can’t click the button to get past it. The game is now unplayable and app support is only through Facebook? I don’t have FB. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-10-01, version 2.6001* Why am I not suprised that yet again it’s the same merge game !!! Surely you haven’t got to just make us play the same 2 merge games . So boring ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love This Game! *2026-08-28, version 2.10300* Your design staff deserves five stars. I have been playing this game on two tablets for a few years. Your graphics are so original and beautiful, it’s a joy to play. Please keep up the good work. And by the way, this review was entirely my idea to give to you. No one asked me to give it. ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-06-08, version 2.10101* Handsdown the best game ever no adverts I just love it ### 5/5 — 버그 개선해주세요. *2026-06-05* 어제부터 갑자기 선택하는 창들이 다 없어지고 껐다켜도 배경밖에 뜨지 않아 게임을 실행 할 수가 없네요. 버그 확인 해주세요 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 댓글 감사합니다. 불편을 드려 죄송합니다! 고객님의 질문은 저희에게 매우 중요하며, 다음 방법 중 하나로 답변드리겠습니다. 화면 오른쪽 상단의 톱니바퀴 아이콘을 클릭 > 도움말 및 지원 선택 > 대화 상자 클릭 > 왼쪽 하단의 "💬" 버튼을 클릭해 주세요. 또는 support@judiangames.com으로 이메일을 보내주세요. 언제든 도와드리겠습니다!🌻 ### 5/5 — Garden Affairs *2026-04-28, version 2.9801* This is only the second time this year I’ve left a review for a game, but I had to because I find everything from the beautiful graphics to decorate with in game, to the storyline and puzzles galore is five out of five stars for me! Absolute joy to play 😊 ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-04-10, version 2.9701* I picked up Garden Affairs thinking it’d just be another chill merge game, but it actually surprised me. At first it feels pretty simple, just merging items and fixing up the garden, but it gets more addictive the longer you play. There’s always something to do, and unlocking new areas keeps it interesting. ### 5/5 — Garden affairs *2026-02-14, version 2.9300* I’m enjoying it’s ### 5/5 — Love This Game! *2025-11-13, version 2.8600* Your design staff deserves five stars.

Garden Affairs를 더 좋은 게임으로 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다!💕💕💕 감사합니다. 좋은 하루 보내세요 🌻 ### 5/5 — Macht viel Spaß *2025-10-03* Manche Level sind echt tricky. Durch Werbung kann man sich wenn man möchte zusätzliche Züge erwerben Ich habe über 1100 Sterne - wann geht denn die Story weiter?

This game is great and all, but when you already have an account, you might want to start over again on a different device. Like I did. But it changed to my first account when I wanted to do that. It’s your choice on what you choose for this game. And I respect that. But great game after all! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
