My opinion on Gossip Harbor

As someone who likes to play games this game fine but interesting, the tea is definitely hot in this game trying to figure out the mysteries. But there was a problem that has happened a few times and I can’t figure out the problem. I just so happened to get a red chest, personally I don’t like to use my diamonds because I like to save them for when I really need them. So I watched an ad (don’t hate on me lol) my wifi was good so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that but the ad was loading for about 2 minutes and them my device completely shut off. I thought I just needed to update the game but I didn’t and then i no longer has the red chest. I was also really exited open the chest. I also merged into really big levels and used a lot of energy and got “lucky”. But then the items that I merged before I watched the ad were gone. Then I suddenly had more coins but then realized I had just had that amount of coins before I was reading the new gossip I had gotten so I had to redo it again. Now I do not know if this is my device’s problem but I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else. Thank You for your time!

“NO ADS” — 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The advertisement literally says “totally FREE & AD-FREE” and “NO ANNOYING ADS.” Yet the game still shows advertisements between gameplay/levels, including promotions for other games from the same developer. Calling those “not ads” simply because they are your own games doesn’t make the experience ad-free.

And honestly, the bigger problem is that the actual game is nothing like what is advertised. The advertisement gives players one impression of the gameplay, only for the downloaded game to be completely different.

If you need to advertise your own games every few seconds, fine—but then don’t advertise the game as “AD-FREE.” Be honest with players about what they are downloading.

“Free” and “ad-free” are two completely different promises. This game delivers neither the experience shown in the advertisement nor the ad-free experience it claims to provide.

Stop misleading people with advertisements that the actual game doesn’t live up to. It’s frustrating, annoying, and makes it very difficult to trust anything else the developer claims.

This game is NOT as advertised

The game is absolutely NOTHING like the ad. You’re not helping a mom and small children get shelter. It’s just a matching game with ADS and a time-limit on playing unless you watch ads or pay. Any ad that shows a storyline with this good of graphics is going to be a lie.

I’m so confused

Does she have one child or two? Wait, she’s pregnant now? Is it exhausting trying to keep up with your own lies?

My favorite game still 2 years later

I never write reviews but I’ve had this game for almost 3 years and I still love it. I’m level 152 and I’ve seen the way the developers have changed and improved the game over time and I’ve never kept a game this long and still used it daily. Mad props to the developers and the fact they run it ad-free. Have recommended to most of my friends when they joke about it being a merge game and some play it now.

They Lied

I downloaded the app and it had ADDS and it wasn’t even the same game

Me

So far, all good.

Great game

Great game

Super fun

Love this game! Hours of free fun!

This is unfair

"I made the purchase with real money, and because of that, the game punished me and deprived me of the free daily energy box, turning it into 10 gems. This is unfair, and I will stop playing."

Not accurate advertising

I’ve been playing this game DAILY for over a year now. While playing other games, this game is advertised to me. What the ad shows is NOT in the game. It’s a merge game, and there are renovations in the story but it’s nothing like the advertisement. Please stop lying. I’ll give it three stars only because of this. I do love playing the game but don’t try to make it something it isn’t.

Eh

Good game. Does not align with my beliefs.

Impossible

In the upper levels it is impossible to advance without buying energy to merge items. The Rewards in the upper levels should match the levels that you’re in when you receive a reward, one coin or one energy for a reward that does not equal what it takes to merge an item.

Addictive and Deceiving

This game is addictive like playing with slot machines.
If you tent to become addicted to this mechanic please avoid downloading it.
I’ve never had such problem and recognized the issue right away but after 39 levels I’ve made my first ever 0.99 purchase and immediately regretted it. That purchase did not help me finishing the challenges AT ALL. It actually made the game even harder, and removed the free daily gifts in the cart.
I chose not even 24hr later to request a refund and delete it.
The game itself is also nothing due to having to do the same things every single day! You merge orders all over again and again always hoping to reach a target, to “get” something, to beat others or the timers… It is in fact a never ending chasing mechanism created solely to make you addicted to their game and force you to keep opening the app to collect and use oranges and energy. Find other games to relax yourself. Do not become addicted by another virtual activity that makes you feel the need to check/scroll over and over again multiple times a day.
