After level 999 it turned into only “Pro Levels” , But there just repeating of the hard levels I’ve already played. Really frustrating, When it’s repeat game after repeat. Am I missing something with the “Pro level” part ? ### 2/5 — Enjoyed for a bit but way too many levels with weird directions *2023-11-04* I really dislike levels where the tiles don't come from the top, especially if they come from multiple directions at once. They're fine once in a while, but somewhere around level 200 or 250 the game decided 90% of the levels would be like this. I kept playing hoping it would get better, but after about a hundred levels which were consistently mostly this way, I gave up and uninstalled. Also the story dialog is inane and annoying and just gets in the way of playing the game. Plus the constant popups and motion alerting you to the fact you can spend money was frustrating. And all the events that were forced on me. Especially "if you quit this level now you'll lose progress in this tournament you don't care about at all but you're going to kiss out so you better spend resources to win first try!!" Give me a break. And the super fake sad pouty face on the woman's graphic when you lose. I can't speak to the ads themselves as pihole makes them a nonissue as long as I play on my local wifi, but I guess at least the game doesn't break if it can't load an ad whenever it wants, which is more than some games accomplish. ### 4/5 — Addictive game but so many ads *2023-08-30* The game is quite fun and I’m having a blast playing it, the style is so cute. However there are just a lot of ads, which at some point I can understand, but the ads are kind of constant to the point where it’s annoying to have to watch in order to play a new level or go back to the house to decorate. The ads are a bit overboard. It’s a bit frustrating. ### 2/5 — Same as all the others *2022-08-14* After about level 50 it starts taking DAYS to beat levels. How do you advance if you can’t beat levels? Oh yeah! Start dumping money! That way you’re not really playing anymore, you’re just buying virtual flowers and couches. **Developer response:** Hi Kk Traudt! Thank you for your review. Could you please give us some more details about the levels you are referring to? Thank you in advance! ### 3/5 — Love the graphics re are problems *2022-06-05* It would be great if there were more ways to earn the candies to renovate my own room. Also, the game keeps crashing at the worst times! In the middle of an add I need to watch to get bonus rewards, in the middle of a game, it just happens at random. Please get that fixed ASAP! **Developer response:** Hi kay2424! Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that there are some issues. We will forward this topic to our team. Have a good day and best regards ### 4/5 — Same levels *2022-02-17* I love this game very much, but now when I’m after level 960 or something like that, there are only pro levels and hard levels and it wouldn’t be a problem but they are all the same! Is it the end of a game? It’s really frustrating to play one and the same level for 20 times… ### 4/5 — Match 3 Not Difficult. *2022-02-16, version 0.3.6663* Match 3 not difficult, resulting to easier building. Try playing. ### 2/5 — New look *2022-02-14, version 0.3.6663* I was in love with the game and played it on the daily. Past few months there’s been a new look which I absolutely hate. Makes it harder to focus and get addicted to the level. I will be moving on to another game. ### 4/5 — Very fun time killer! *2022-01-10* I’m at the master bathroom and enjoying the game very much. I have encountered hard levels, but I always beat them eventually without using my power-ups. This game is very rewarding, I receive so many unlimited heart rewards that I’m progressing at a nice pace. I don’t really like Roger, he seems suspect and his character design is kind of eh. I do really like Tim, though. If there’s a Roger betrayal I’m going to be mad if she still picks him. ### 2/5 — Next room? *2021-12-08, version 0.3.6663* On level 21 with 2800 coins and nothing to do. Finished the first room. Is there more? Guess I’ll delete. Sorry. Was looking to see if I wrote a review and accidentally sent it again. Will try game again. ### 4/5 — Sadly disappointed. *2021-12-03* I was thoroughly enjoying this game’s combination of matching puzzle challenges and design opportunities. I have completed the mayor’s garden but have not been allowed to exit the scene and progress. The “lockdown” coincided with the last update. I continued to play the matching puzzles expecting the freeze to be corrected until now I have amassed over 102,000 coins with no chance to spend them. Normally I would quit and delete a game that failed me this way but I hate to relinquish my substantial investment in a game I enjoy but has developed a bug. What should I do? Back again. I have the same problem again. I’ve been stuck in “Rita’s Camper Van” for weeks. Have amassed over 700,000 coins. I’m wondering if the developer discontinues support for long-time devotees. I’m beginning to feel like a fool for continuing to spend money in this game that no longer meets it claims. **Developer response:** Hi Prisoner of the Garden! We are sorry to hear that. Have you tried to close and restart the app? Or even re-install it (your progress will not get lost)? Please let us know if the issue still exists. Kind regards ### 4/5 — Account Banned *2021-11-22, version 0.3.6663* I tried to open this game like always until I noticed the Message said Account Banned.It will not let me play the game and I don’t know why?I tried to Contact support but could not get through ### 4/5 — I like this game *2021-10-22, version 0.3.6663* This is a great game especially for people like me creative the only things I don’t like is one adverts after every game you do there’s an advert secondly the amount of money you spend I have to play two games to get one thing thank you I like your game. ### 4/5 — Thing I don’t like *2021-10-08, version 0.3.6566* I wish you didn’t have to do so many puzzles. ### 4/5 — Great *2021-10-07, version 0.3.6566* Not hard to win ### 3/5 — FRUSTRATED!!!! *2021-10-05, version 0.3.6566* I love this game, I only downloaded it yesterday and it continuously drops me out of the game and puts me back to the start. I also lose diamonds because of the game dropping out. Or it makes me start the level again. Please fix this problem. Apart from this I’m really enjoying playing this game but I’m getting very frustrated and I will delete this if it’s not fixed. Thank you. I will change my star rating to 5 star if this problem is corrected. ### 3/5 — Fix the problem *2021-10-01, version 0.3.6566* I love this game but for some reason I could be half way through something and it boots me out please fix it ### 2/5 — Super fun but keeps crashing *2021-08-29, version 0.3.6185* Really great game, fun levels, customisation options are good and the storyline is nice however the app continues to crash multiple times, most of the time when I’m in the middle of the game. ### 3/5 — A big issue *2021-08-26* The game is normally great, it’s not too difficult to pass levels but then the game started to crash in the middle of levels, and it’s getting more frequent. If we use a booster at the beginning and it crashed halfway through, we lose the booster. It’s getting really frustrating and I used to play this game every day \: **Developer response:** Hi Silkevii! We are sorry to hear that. Could you please let us know which device exactly you are using to play the game? Is this happening just by playing the levels or also when decorating a scene? Thank you in advance and kind regards ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Home garden design *2024-11-26, version 0.3.6663* This game has you watch two ads AT LEAST before you even start the game. I deleted it. There are better ones that have you watch ads before you even start the game. ### 1/5 — Level 881 *2024-07-03, version 0.3.6663* It’s terrible. What are so helpful hints? I give only 1 star for this one. Others get a 4 or 5 star. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2024-04-02, version 0.3.6663* Stays frozen on blue screen ### 1/5 — Buggy Garden Game *2023-05-04, version 0.3.6663* I really liked this game when I started playing it but it’s buggy. When I “X out” of the ads it takes me to App Purchase and then when I “Go Back” to the game it is sometimes frozen on a blue screen. I hear the music but there is nothing on the screen. I shut the game down and later come back to it and it’s still a blue screen. OR I hard restart my ipad to clear the memory to see if that helps...? Sometimes. Sometimes not. In all it been more frustrating than fun to play this game. NEXT. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-09-19, version 0.3.6663* This game constantly crashes ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2022-03-05, version 0.3.6663* Glitchy as anything. I downloaded this morning and already I’ve had two dropouts, two freezes and it’s super slow loading. ### 1/5 — NOT WORTH THE TIME *2022-01-28, version 0.3.6663* Should have listened to critical reviews. Ads go black, or cycle back but don’t give reward. I stopped playing ad at levels Seemed like a fun game if it worked. Ps. I already did the delete and reinstall. Deleting now ### 1/5 — Too hard, rubbish graphics *2022-01-25, version 0.3.6663* Terrible graphics, they’re even squashed at a strange angle. They don’t look like a realistic garden. The female character has a weird face, why are her eyes all screwed up? And the levels are too hard. And wow two extra moves!? Why not five extra moves? ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-04-23, version 0.3.4913* I’m quite happy to play games with ads, but this one has way too many. I’ve only had the game two days and already considering deleting as the ads are just too much. They purposefully make the levels hard to complete with hardly any turns, because every time you want a few more turns or you replay the level they show you an ad. Then if you go back to the scene to spend your coins, there’s an ad. I’ve probably had about 20% gameplay since I started and spent the majority of my time ignoring ads. I’ll delete this soon as the ads are just too much and it spoils all the gameplay. And no I won’t put money into a game especially when they screw you over with ads. I’ve played other similar games without nearly as many ads and they’re far more enjoyable. ### 1/5 — ads and art *2021-04-14, version 0.3.4913* It was fun but the art style of the veggies in the levels is weird and it makes it hard to see moves. There’s also an ad after every level and that’s a bit ridiculous ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cute game *2022-12-04, version 0.3.6663* Cute game ### 5/5 — Best game *2022-10-25, version 0.3.6663* So i think that this game should have a Extra 5 stars added to my current amount of stars.this game has a low level of adds and has great fun. I had so much fun playing this game because you can design you own house and garden Download now ### 5/5 — What are the gems for *2021-10-31, version 0.3.6663* I love this game so much but I’m not sure what you are supposed to use the gems for. ### 5/5 — 5 stars and….. *2021-08-08* I thought I was gonna match veggies, like in the pictures shown. Otherwise it’s so cute and I really like it! ### 5/5 — Home and garden *2021-07-07, version 0.3.5834* Keeps me bus ### 5/5 — Game *2021-07-04, version 0.3.5834* 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂thank you ### 5/5 — Yvette Morales *2021-05-27, version 0.3.5364* It’s Beautiful & a good game ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2021-05-12, version 0.3.5244* This game is super fun, and is one of my favourite games at the moment! I love how there is still lots of scenes! (Hopefully more will be added) The only downside with this app is the crazy amount of ads after every level. Overall pretty fun game! Except for ads. ### 5/5 — Absolutely gorgeous *2021-05-01, version 0.3.4913* This game is absolutely gorgeous in design. It is 100% worth the price to pay for no ads. I love this game so much. It’s SO cozy! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-04-13* I love this game, however, it keeps throwing me out of the game in the middle of playing. It is slightly annoying. Can it be fixed? Thank you in advance!
