I have no complaints and have excelled pretty far in it, but be warned that you might need to have a word finder app on hand if you manage to reach level 750. From that point, some levels will be easy to pass without it, but you’ll waste less time on other levels by using it to get by. ### 2/5 — House of words *2024-07-24, version 1.1.02* I like the game but now I am getting a fatal error and I can’t played it (I pay for it). I sent a notification to Apple but I haven’t received any answer. When you try to ask for help from the developers, you are sent to a site in another language (I think Chinese) and I don’t understand. So I can’t play it now and I think I loose my place in the game. ☹️😖😣😩☹️ ### 2/5 — error *2022-12-30, version 1.1.02* i reached a level and it said tap to continue. it wouldn’t let me tap and i could not play the game anymore ### 3/5 — It’s great until the casino level *2021-12-22, version 1.1.02* I was really enjoying this game, but it gets ridiculously difficult when you get to the casino level. They add in proper nouns to the mix, which I was not aware of until I used hints. This could be anything from a brand name of a product, a name of a person, or random city or country. There is no rhyme or reason. Two of the brand names I had never even heard of. There were some I could figure out, but it was more frustrating than relaxing. I actually paid for an ad free version and coins when I ran out of hints, because I loved the decorating aspect. As I moved on, realized this game was going to cost more money because of these random names they were throwing in, so sadly deleting the app. ### 4/5 — Really Great Game at first *2021-12-21, version 1.1.02* I loved this word and decorating game at first. Sometimes I was not crazy about the three decorating stye choices offered but that’s not a big issue. Now I’m at level 1043 and the puzzle has become more work than fun with seven to nine letter words to create, when the words I see are not the ones the puzzle creator chose. If you like spending a lot of time on a game you will enjoy this one. But I will be deleting it because I want my game playing to move forward better and to be relaxing. A small note. I’m disappointed that the only game designer contacts are through Facebook or Apple. There is no other way offered for “contact us”. ### 4/5 — Great game *2021-10-15, version 1.1.02* One thing. I just played a puzzle where you accepted “leeves” which I am pretty sure is not an actual word. Were you perhaps thinking of leaves? Please spell your words correctly. ### 4/5 — Enjoy, but... *2021-09-26, version 1.1.00* I love this game! It’s really good at making you think and it’s cool to be able design your looks. I just wish it was easier to earn gems. I don’t have money to buy them and the video ads don’t always work in giving you 25 gems. Other that, it’s a great game! ### 4/5 — Stock *2021-07-26, version 1.0.17* How many levels are the? I completed level 1062 can’t go any further. Why? ### 4/5 — Love it…but *2021-07-01, version 1.0.17* I love this game and I’d have given 5 stars, but I’ve played all the levels (which you’d think they WANT), and I’ve been waiting forever and they apparently are NOT making more levels like the notice you see tells you. You spend all that time playing, and it stops you right in the middle of a level to say you can’t play anymore…😡not cool, and even less cool to say there will be more levels coming when none are. ### 2/5 — Peccato *2021-05-01, version 1.0.17* Non c’è la lingua italiana come scritto... ### 4/5 — addictive, but too many ads. *2021-03-28, version 1.0.15* i’ve had this game for a couple days now, and i will say that it is fun. the basic concept is that you have to design a home for a couple people, and play a word scrabble to earn coins. usually, after your done with a round, there’s a ad. i really wanna play the game normally, so maybe less ads, and then the game would be amazing. ### 3/5 — How much to get rid of ads. *2021-03-05, version 1.0.15* I have watched that mansion my story 200 times. It is gross and insulting. ### 5/5 — So good *2021-02-21, version 1.0.15* This is so good ### 5/5 — Best game! *2021-02-14, version 1.0.15* Relaxing, brain stimulating, and challengingly enjoyable. Only problem recently found is the videos froze last night and this morning resulting in playing two different levels over and loosing some bonus coins. It is working right again now. The decorating is up to date, gorgeous! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lmk *2026-01-06, version 1.1.02* Why cant i open Aidens surfboard room? ### 1/5 — Already paid for no ads *2024-03-27, version 1.1.02* Love the game but I already paid for no ads then I stopped playing for awhile and my phone offloaded it so when I downloaded it again the ads came back and there is no restore purchases option! So I paid $3 for nothing?? Fix it please I am not paying for no ads again. ### 1/5 — New Episodes *2022-06-13, version 1.1.02* Hey, what’s happening with the new episodes? Love the game, but if I can’t play anymore, I will be deleting it!! ### 1/5 — Ads and broken *2022-02-13, version 1.1.02* So this started out as a good game and then totally fell apart. There’s so many ads and even though it’s acceptable to a point there is a point where it’s too much and this game went way beyond that point AND SOME! There is a glitch with the gems where it resets them when you log out and log back in and now several levels in it’s decided to have a fatal error showing items at 100 coins but then consistently kicks you out so it would appear this has just been left as a badly broken game riddled with ads to maximise ad revenue before people realise! Could have been great so it’s a shame but avoid like the plague as these developers don’t care about anything other than money! ### 1/5 — Game of words *2021-06-07, version 1.0.17* Do not bother with this game unless you do not mind endless game adverts before and after the actual game. You will need a lexicon to answer the crosswords. Shame because the idea is very good. ### 1/5 — Noose *2021-02-20, version 1.0.15* At first I was enjoying the game but then I got to level 578 and one of the words in the puzzle was noose. I will be deleting this game from my phone ### 1/5 — Ads, just ads *2021-02-03, version 1.0.15* You get a ad before you do a task, after you've completed a task, when you do ANYTHING, there is an ad. If you've completed a task you get the opportunity to increase your reward by watching an ad, perfectly reasonable. If you choose not to, however, you still get the ad! I'd have stuck with it because it's a good concept but sadly greedy people made it a do 5 rooms & delete. Too many apps nowadays believe throwing in ads every 5 secs is acceptable, it isn't. If you can't make an ap that gives you a good return without this kind of duplicity, don't bother. Avoid if you value your time, if you've got it to waste, this app is for you, enjoy! ### 1/5 — Too expensive for hints *2021-01-11, version 1.0.15* I really love this game, but it cost way too much for the hints, I get that you need to make money and I have no problem with buying the game or hints if it was made more affordable. There should be a way to purchase this game with unlimited hints with a one time fee. If you did this I would definitely give this game a 5. I know you can watch ads and get free hints but unfortunately you only get the free hints for so many ads and then it doesn’t matter how May ads you watch it stops giving you the gems for the hints. Please make this game available for purchase with unlimited hints. I would definitely purchase it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-25, version 1.0.15* Installed and just started but now the boxes and tools are frozen as well as coins. I got to decorate the patio, lights, shrubs, pool, towels, table but that is it. No matter what I do it just hangs there. I can play the game and earn coins up to almost 7000 but what is the point? So, I will be removing this game. ### 1/5 — This WAS my favorite *2020-09-04, version 1.0.15* Until about level 440 the whole thing crashed after I had spent 20 bucks (like an idiot). In the middle of a game it said Fatal Error and I lost everything. Not happy at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-02-03, version 1.1.02* It is such a good game.There are ads but actually there not that long.I just got it and have been playing it for half an hour.I know it is my opinion but this is a really good game to play ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-09-02, version 1.1.02* For sure would recommend this app!
