The earn gems does not work I click on it and a page comes up saying loading info but nothing loads. The daily gems is making you wait I click on it and get gems then it makes me wait 20 mins or sometimes a certain number of seconds to get more. I have deleted the game and reinstalled and the ads for the gems is still not working if I can watch 2 ads anymore I am lucky ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE <3 *2025-09-18, version 1.2.1* Used to play this game ALLLLL the time and just remembered it but it doesn’t fit on my new phone screen properly.

I did a backup prior to replacing my phone. Please return my account. V3r0 under Vluxe Estate at a home value around 3 million or more w/580 gems & about $180 k in coins. Please help. I spent quite a bit of money on gems & designing my home (even if it’s a game). Please return my account.HELP!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Lost Account Access *2026-06-27, version 1.2.1* I had to redownload the app because it remained frozen even after restarting my iPad. I didn’t know that by doing so, I would lose access to my current active aged account. There’s no option to connect my Storm8 username and my Game Center is not connecting either. All my recent purchases inaccessible now. Be careful ### 1/5 — Omg *2026-04-03, version 1.2.1* It's my first time playing don't even work ### 1/5 — Good game *2026-03-15, version 1.2.1* Good game to play but once I play it on my iPad and go back into it it doesn’t do anything and keeps crashing so I have to keep on deleting and re downloading it constantly I don’t know why ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-02-16, version 1.2.1* This game cannot get played I've been loaded for 1 day and not complete to the game yet creator fix your game ### 1/5 — Game is frozen as soon as you login *2026-02-06, version 1.2.1* Worked great have spent actual money and now yet again another one of your apps just stops working no one to talk to in customer support! Why are y’all even still allowing games if you can’t help resolve issues. The moment the game opens it’s frozen! Can’t tap anything and I’m ticked off! ### 1/5 — UPDATES PLEASE *2026-01-04, version 1.2.1* what’s happening to this app? why are there no updates for so long? recently this game has been so lagged and slow, it’s beginning to be quite painful playing it. you get a prompt saying you have no internet connection even though there is no issue with wifi and/or when you off the wifi and have a good connection. even if you exit the game and come back, it still takes so long to load. please do something you guys!! we have been playing this game for so long even when it has been stagnant with no improvements! ### 1/5 — No more earnings gems *2026-01-01, version 1.2.1* I used to earn 16 gems daily by watching 8 videos plus few gems from neighbors. But now looks like there are no more videos watch to earn gems. Have to wait days or months to buy something from them by relying on the neighbors. Please fix this issue. I love this game. Have been playing since last 10 years. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-28, version 1.2.1* This is the best game I ever played.It is fun and relaxing.Whenever I’m bored or stressed I would play this game. So what you do is you start off as a beginner home but then you buy furniture and rooms to make your house worth more and then more people will visit your home and they can like furniture and plants to give you money which you collect the next time you play the game.You also buy stuff with gems that you could buy,watch an advertisement,or use the fifty gems you start off with.When you buy really nice stuff with your coins,you usually build it with wood and other stuff that your friends could give you.For example,if you see a house you like and want to be friends with that person,you post a comment that says your Id.If people comment to you house you go to overview then you to invite and say their storm id.Definitely download this game! ### 5/5 — Bring back *2026-07-04, version 1.2.1* Please bring back the games like World War live, Racing Live, Imobsters, Kingdoms live, etc. Those games were soooooo addicting. A lot of the old heads would play it. ### 5/5 — Hey 👋 *2026-06-03, version 1.2.1* I love this game and have been playing it for so long!!! Storm8 games are my favorite! Thank you 😊 ### 5/5 — ホームデザインストーリー *2026-04-29* 日本語で、お願いします。 やり方教えてください ### 5/5 — No More Updates *2026-04-26, version 1.2.1* So Sad Another app from Storm 8 bytes the dust, but at least it still functions. ### 5/5 — Inspiration . *2026-04-12, version 1.2.1* It opens the mindset and relaxes the physical body ### 5/5 — My home *2026-03-08, version 1.2.1* It’s so fun it’s addicting! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-02-23, version 1.2.1* Oh I love this game so much it is fun and you don’t like it and I think everyone will have them send it to everyone you see and it’s for the kids they can figure out what they want to do when your house is and maybe when they’re older they could go back please ### 5/5 — Im hooked *2026-02-13, version 1.2.1* Can’t put it down ### 5/5 — Add me fairytooth12 *2026-02-02, version 1.2.1* Bagus bgt sukak perabotannyanya Aku main dari 2015 tp sayangnya icloudnya ganti jd ngulang lagi th ini 2026 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
