### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.6*

This game is honestly great and i love playing it. The story is really good and the side quests are fun aswell. The only thing i dont like is that energy runs out so fast and u always have to spen gems or irl money to get more. Anyway still a great game.

### 2/5 — It became unplayable

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.6*

I don't know what you've done to the game, but for the last couple of weeks, it's been completely unplayable.
First, it constantly lags — screens freeze, and it's especially annoying during moments when you have to do a mini-game between stars. Because of this, it's impossible to use the unlimited lives boost you purchase for a limited time, since you lose so much time just waiting for the game to stop stuttering.
Second, progress doesn't save — for example, I reached 3 out of 5 stars on a task, ran out of energy, exited the game, and came back an hour later to find only one star, or something like that. So you end up losing progress for no reason, which is especially painful during time-limited tasks.
Third, I still have 2 adventures from the Hogwarts era that I've never completed, and I can't finish them — they never show up randomly, and they haven't for years, and there's no way to select them in the Memory Book.
Fourth, my phone (and I have an iPhone 17) gets so hot that it literally burns my hands.
And finally, the number of pop-up screens is starting to get really irritating. Especially if, for example, you've bought unlimited lives for a limited time — by the time you close all of them, your time is already up, and that's it.
It feels like you didn't optimize the game at all, and now it just doesn't work properly. The gaming experience is simply unbearable right now — I don't even feel like playing anymore. Every time I open the game, it's torture.
And I love this game — I even buy some boosts, energy, and so on. But sometimes I just want to delete it and never touch it again because of this experience, when the game keeps freezing and it's impossible to play.

### 5/5 — Interesting story line

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.6*

Enjoyable

### 3/5 — I’m stuck

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.6*

I can not get back to Rowena

### 4/5 — Why do they cost books?

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.6*

I LOVE THIS GAME!! I especially love the creatures! But, that is the main complaint.. Don’t get me wrong I love all of them, it’s just that I always wonder why they cost books and not coins? Why not use the books for events? I have a but-load of coins and I need to spend them. (I find clothes unnecessary). So my main thing here is that I want the creatures /pets to cost COINS not books. I think it would make the gameplay a little more fun no offense. Other than that one complaint I am in love w/ this game. Pls write back, if not just add in what I said. Thank you for your time :)

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.6*

Like the game a lot! However, it crashes so much that I can’t play it enjoyably. I need to replay the same things over and over cause it crashes before it saves… I really want to play but this is annoying and unplayable.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.6*

It’s a great game but it keeps crashing over and over very annoying

### 3/5 — Creature Food

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.6*

Why is it so hard to obtain creature food? Why is it not in the market to be able to buy creatures food? I like feeding the animals for rewards BUT WHY IS GETTING CREATURE FOOD SO  HARD !?!?!?!

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.6*

Omg I ❤️this game soooo good!! Learning stuff I didn’t know about HOGWARTS!! Can’t wait to go in (the game’s) year 4 to do ROMANCE

### 3/5 — fun but a few things i really dislike

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.6*

great story & i like the characters. the energy thing is annoying but not totally unbearable. the main thing i hate is the timed side quests—seriously, please give us more time for them! it’s ridiculous, you have to play like 5 hours a day just to finish the special quests. it seriously sucks. they give you like a million things to do PLUS a timed quest. seriously just make them not timed or make it so you have to finish it before you finish your first year or third year or seventh year or whatever. the timed quests are really stupid and take way more energy than normal stuff and like i mentioned before the energy thing gets annoying. 

also i think it would be really good if you could move the character around with like 3rd person view for the whole game. it doesn’t have that sadly but maybe someday.

i have iphone 16e and it crashes a lot and gets stuck on the loading screen. i know it happens to people often which is kinda frustrating.

thank you for reading, hope this helps!! quick tip for anyone planning to download: google all the hidden energy spots!!! you can get some free energy if you know where to look.


edit: thank you so much for your reply!
