I played it all the way through without losing and I still had to share the pot with others, I don’t like that at all and the purple pins when you get to spin the wheel, it’s ALWAYS go to zero, overall it’s expensive to play but only if you run out, if you loose your perks go away, I haven’t lost yet and I’m on level 1060 but like I said it is a fun game ### 3/5 — Enjoyed game *2026-08-23, version 6.9.3* I was enjoying playing this game but I can’t open it anymore. It crashes. I tried offloading and reinstalling, rebooting my iPad, removing other apps to free up space and nothing is working. I think it is a 5 star game but can’t play it. 🙁 ### 4/5 — Love this game but glitchy *2026-08-20, version 6.9.3* This game has been my go-to for several weeks. Yes, there are ads. Yes, you must make in-app purchases to move on or complete difficult levels. Lately the game is randomly shutting down or just won’t open at all. It’s glitchy. If this continues, I will delete the app. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2026-08-17, version 6.9.3* Game itself is fine. HOWEVER, I just started this game like 2 days ago and there have been sooooo many SUPER annoying popups for events, competitions, sub levels, prizes, things for purchase…. They NEVER END. I just want to play the normal game and regular levels. And it FORCES you to look at them and go through the dialogue and instructions even if you don’t want to, you can’t opt out or exit out of it. Super annoying and constantly IN YOUR FACE. Also, the “money” you earn for things goes SUPER fast. Not a bad game but the interface needs tweaking. ### 2/5 — Match Game not Design Game *2026-08-12, version 6.9.3* You’ll be playing a match game more often then you’ll be designing anything. ### 3/5 — Changed over the years *2026-08-09, version 6.9.3* I’ve played this game for years…it was my go to! But then they did a new update and it’s totally different. I really wish they never did that ### 5/5 — Home Design Makeover *2026-08-08, version 6.9.3* It’s amazing my first time playing the game ### 4/5 — Great but one thing *2026-08-02, version 6.9.1* It’s very fun and propyl the best home design game but candy crush gets impossible ### 2/5 — Nothing like video *2026-07-30, version 6.9.1* Game play is nothing at all like the video. Was very disappointed and deleted after a few hours ### 5/5 — absolutely obsessed! *2026-07-29, version 6.9.1* i love the amount of stuff you are able to design in the game and all the challenges it’s amazing please developers continue without ads🙏🏻🙌🏻✨ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Takes rally attempts. Customer support : unsympathetic *2026-08-30, version 6.9.3* When I play a rally game, I press the play button. Then it says I can’t play the level. It already being played. By me. 🙃 Reaching out to customer support (multiple times) will get you nowhere. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-08-27, version 6.9.3* My game will not load anymore it’s stuck on the first screen all I get is blackness which sucksss!!! Customer service isn’t any help at all!! I have closed the game out restarted my phone. My next move is to delete this game which I am trying my best not to because I LOVE to play this game. It is very relaxing. But lately it’s been very frustrating!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Awful. *2026-08-26, version 6.9.3* Horrible! Can’t even play for 3 minutes without a ton of ads. Absolutely horrible ### 1/5 — Loading issues *2026-08-25, version 6.9.3* takes forever to load and freezes once it opens. its been horrinle since the last update ### 1/5 — Don’t do the upgrade! *2026-08-24, version 6.9.3* I was so addicted to this game for years! Then I made the mistake to upgrading. Now it is so slow and boring. I quit! ### 1/5 — GROWL…💀 *2026-08-23, version 6.9.3* I live interior design. I thought I could unleash that love and show people the rooms I make. (Like Toca Boca.) but I was so wrong. They make you pay for the stuff with fake coins, but you earn them by playing A RIPOFF of Royal Match. (great game btw) and they try and make you pay for boosts and stuff. UGH. JUST UGH. 😩 And the characters are talking ALL the time you can hardly do anything. They divert you from what you’re doing, and SOOOO many pop ups. I could keep going but it’s already a lot. DON’T GET THIS GAME. ### 1/5 — App not loading *2026-08-20, version 6.9.3* Your App is broken. It’s not my phone it’s you. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-04, version 6.9.3* Not as advertised. Decorating is boring. You have to play a stupid game each time you want to continue ### 1/5 — Игра не работает *2026-07-28* Игра перестала открываться ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-07-27, version 6.9.1* Change to HDM-TV This change doesn’t even make sense ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Relaxing and fun! *2026-09-01, version 6.9.3* This is an excellent game! Forgiving puzzles and generous helps allow you to progress slowly but steadily through interesting home makeovers. The options for decor and design let you make the homes to your liking and it’s fascinating to see how slight differences make the mood and vibe of the design change. I also appreciate how the options are not overwhelming. It keeps the game very relaxing and fun. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-31, version 6.9.3* I enjoy it a lot‼️ No ads yet hopefully none 🫶🏻✨🫶🏻✨🫶🏻♥️ ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-08-28, version 6.9.3* Really enjoying so far! ### 5/5 — App won’t open *2026-08-25, version 6.9.3* For the last four days, this app won’t open on my phone. Please fix the issue. ### 5/5 — New games *2026-08-23, version 6.9.3* This is the best game, have played for years. Until this week with all the changes it was my favorite game. Please return to the older version ### 5/5 — So good *2026-08-22, version 6.9.3* There is no ads and it’s great and fun ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-16, version 6.9.3* This is the best game I ever played because I’m moving in a couple weeks and my dad said that that I can download this because I’m going to remodel the place with my dad and it’s by the Stewart in Schuylerville ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-15, version 6.9.3* Very good ### 5/5 — Blasting Fun *2026-08-13, version 6.9.3* Watch as walls disappear and runs make fun! ### 5/5 — MORE NEW DESIGNS *2026-08-13, version 6.9.3* I truly enjoy playing this game. It relaxes me after a stressful day. Some may think that doesn’t make sense but it truly does. I’ve been playing for years just like others but I feel it’s time to get some new layouts when decorating against others. It’s crazy having the same room to decorate over and over. Where’s the fun in that? It’s time for an upgrade of new designs in the competition levels. All in all, it’s a wonderful game to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
