Fix the voting system

Expensive game, can’t keep anything you buy and when you fill in all the slots in the scene and you get under a 4star rating you get nothing for it. Voting system is the worst and needs to be fixed, how about for every pink slot filled we get extra points

Awesome Gardening Game

This is such a pleasant and relaxing game to play. I love how you develop your garden from nothing to something beautiful. I haven’t been playing it for very long but so far enjoyable!

So much fun !

As a florist this is a lot of fun !

Developers: restore my game

Please restore my game and it’s progress. I spend a lot of money on this game, which I enjoy, but I will not start over. My iPad broke and that is why you seem to want me to start over.

GENUINELY GOOD AND WELL MADE MOBILE GAME!!

my phone deleted my progress so i am rewriting this review because I DONT PLAY ABOUT GARDEN JOY

i honestly only installed it to get free stats in everskies but i quickly forgot about the reward because this is a great game!!! i am so serious i am a DEDICATED HATER so i cant stress how much i mean it when i say i love this game. granted ive only been playing for about 30 minutes but im already sort of in awe at how genuine, authentic, and high quality this game is.

if you’re a mobile gamer you know that this medium has been really struggling in the quality department for a long time… everything has misleading, fake ads, too many pop ups in game, and id pay to win.., it makes them borderline unplayable. for my time playing i have not gotten a single ad. i keep expecting it when i switch menus or whatever but i can just… play the game! what a novel concept! there are in game transactions but (and i’m only on level 5 so maybe this changes 🤷‍♀️) i don’t feel like i HAVE to buy coins or gems. it’s very easy to earn both in-game. you also get a lot of items for free as you level up, so you can save your coins if you want.

i’ve always loved this genre of game but ive found they’re often unplayable without paying, or they deliberately slow down your progress if you don’t pay to encourage you buy stuff. ive not spent any real money and i don’t feel limited at all!

the game is also educational which was a pleasant surprise! you can decorate in many different climates. every plant has a description. the plants are specific to different climates which feels very immersive, i love the realism which i feel like a lot of decorating games don’t have (which is fair but im a nerd).

i may not be the target demographic, im a 20 year old goth girl who doesn’t go outside because it will mess up my hair 😭 but i am an artist and i am a nature fan (it’s like how sports fans don’t necessarily PLAY their sport, they can just watch it and be a fan 😉). i am a bit of a science and computer nerd. i think there is something for everyone, whether you want to decorate a cottagecore patio or a contemporary concrete rooftop garden.. whether you’re a kid who knows nothing about botany or you’re an older lady who’s been gardening for 70 years. it’s very versatile and engaging without being overwhelming. the tutorial does a perfect job at guiding you, slowly introducing features one by one. the items are truly gorgeous and i never feel forced to make an ugly design.

if the devs are reading this, pleaseee keep up the good work!!! it’s so refreshing to see such a high effort mobile game and i wish you the best, and hope your future is sucessful! you are very smart and talented 🥰

absolutely the best game I ever played !!

I’ve played this game for a while now , I have a new phone so I’m starting back at the beginning but it just reminds me of why
I love it in the first place

Fun and relaxing

This is a fun app that lets you see through others eyes, their artistic ability as well as as designing gifts..

love it so much

seriously love this game!

Beautiful options

I love decorating and the results with beautiful options

Creative fun

Easy to play without ads or cost. Extra furnishing sets can also be purchased at a very reasonable price.

Love this

So much fun to design

Please fix this ad issue

Every time the ad for Kalfus Nachman Attorneys comes on it freezes while he’s talking. But if you use the X to close it it says the video was interrupted and you don’t get points. This has been going on for weeks. Very frustrating.

Escape

The game is fun and relaxing, love the challenges and very rewarding in both areas of creating beauty and accomplishment.

What’s with the extra diamond link not working?

Why offer a video for diamonds and it doesn’t work? For days on end? SMH

Fun

Many choices to choose from. You might need to spend some money to get everything you need. But very fun and worth it.

Fun but doesn’t work well

I really enjoy this game and I’m good at all. There’s plenty of chances to make money and diamonds. Unfortunate most of the time I cannot open the game. Nothing works. iOS is up to date. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game. I’m going to have to give up on playing this game.

Unwanted Actions

I keep getting notices that players have accepted my friend requests, but I have NEVER sent any friend requests they just keep getting assigned to me!
I have accepted requests up to 12 making it easy for me to send each one gifts a couple times per week. Today 10 were added so I have almost 50 that I don’t want.
Please stop adding friends for me. I’ll request if I want any. Now it takes me a few weeks just to get everyone a gift.
This along with charging my Apple Account for purchases I didn’t make - which were refunded eventually- makes me mad.
It’s a fun free time activity but not when I don’t have control of my account.

Beautiful

This game is so quiet, so beautiful breathtaking

THE BEST

I have been playing this game going on two years and love it more and more. I wish we could chat with my regulars on occasion. There are some suggestions on possibly having a yard sale for our extra items that would be so fun…I’ve even budgeted diamond moola for the month I also like to earn them…I sure wish they would bring decor and use the coins we collected. I really unwind and relax as well as getting excited for games! This gets a solid 10 I love it!!
