Over the last two days of the latest event, I've received the same two crops 6 times in a row and i can't get the higher tier crops, so I can't complete the task unless i use event tickets and that seems highly unfair. ### 3/5 — Bueno *2026-08-10, version 0.2.73* Lo amo lo único mal es que no me deje recuperar mi progreso si cambio de teléfono aunque tenga el mismo correo ### 4/5 — Great, but... *2026-07-31, version 0.2.70* We need more bushes, especially blueberry. ### 3/5 — Great game but…. *2026-07-25, version 0.2.70* I love this game up until recently, I would send my bees on a mission and i would check back an hour later and it was like I never sent them. Didn’t get any of the rewards, but it still used the honey and “the cost” items?! ### 4/5 — Great game - some suggestions *2026-07-08, version 0.2.68* The game is great cozy beautiful. One thing i can suggest is the nurturing and harvesting mechanism. It would be nice to have it go through them automatically. Not one by one. Some times I just quit because it takes so much time to do each one by one. May be add a button like “harvest all” “ nurture all”. ### 5/5 — Amo esse jogo *2026-06-28* Pra quem gosta de fazenda/jardim esse jogo é incrível. Minha única sugestão seria poder clicar nas flores para "harvest" ou "nurture" fazendo uma fila de disponibilidade das abelhas. Imagino quando tiver um jardim enorme, será cansativo clicar em duas flores e ter que aguardar cada abelha terminar, para assim poder clicar em outra flor, e assim por diante. Nos deixe clicar tudo de uma vez e fazer uma fila acumulada ao invés de ter que esperar a abelha ficar disponível 😁 **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelas 5 estrelas e pela sugestão detalhada 😁 Gostamos muito dessa ideia de fila para colheita e cuidado das flores, especialmente para jardins maiores. É um feedback muito útil! ### 3/5 — More room in the garden area *2026-06-27, version 0.2.68* Would love to see more room/areas added to the garden area as I’m about out of spots to put flowers and decor…you have all these events that give new flowers but no new land to add them to …can’t remove any flowers to garden to make room for new decor or flowers…so plz either provide more room or allow flowers to be move back into storage or offer sell option…this work help lots to keep me playing…this ### 3/5 — Holding pattern *2026-06-24, version 0.2.67* I really like this sweet game and I’ve enjoyed playing it for a few years- but I’ve gotten to a mission where I need an item from the cafe (cocoa) and the only option is to spend cash to get cafe coins. I can’t complete the mission because I don’t have any and the chances of getting one on the barter board or randomly through a blind box is very small. This may be a feature to earn some money for the developers, but I wish cafe coins were more accessible and I could keep playing this game. ### 5/5 — So cute and calm *2026-06-19, version 0.2.64* The title really. I’ve been playing for an hour and it’s been a game i can easily drop and pick back up when i inevitably get distracted. Excited to uncover the rest of the map. My favorite thing so far is the combo items system! ### 5/5 — 非常好的游戏！ *2026-06-09, version 0.2.64* 画面精致可爱，各种游戏机制很合理，既可以种植花朵，也可以探险、建造、完成任务订单，非常适合喜欢经营农场类型游戏的朋友！ ### 5/5 — 꽃 모으고 가꾸는 재미 *2026-06-07* 귀엽고 경쟁요소 없는 게임 좋아하는 사람한테 최적이에요! 식물도 예쁘고 각 캐릭터들 마다 성격 확실해서 귀여워요 얼른 땅도 넓히고 벌도 여러마리됐으면 좋겠어서 즐겁게 열심히 하고있어요 🐝 **Developer response:** 별 5개 감사합니다! 경쟁 없이 편하게 즐길 수 있는 점과 식물, 캐릭터들의 매력을 좋아해 주셔서 정말 기뻐요 🐝 즐겁게 허니 그로브를 키워가시길 바라요! ### 5/5 — Love this cottage core game *2026-06-07, version 0.2.64* This game is like so niche, so cozy and beautiful. I love the little details that this game has and all the amazing natural life. With cute animals and various plants. Where you can scout and explore new places, decorate your grove, be a mad scientist and discover new animals and plants. 10/10 this goes with the aesthetic I want to project. ### 3/5 — Mất dữ liệu *2026-05-21* Tôi đã tải về 1 năm trước và chơi lên level khá cao rồi nhưng bây giờ tải lại thì mất hết dữ liệu của tôi. Tiếc quá, tôi khá thích game này ### 5/5 — Too slow *2026-05-12, version 0.2.64* 1-Beautiful art. 2-Very annoying to wait for only 2 bees to nurture all the plants. Between the clicks there’s not enough time to do other stuff but long enough to be boring. Also hard to level up and slow. ### 3/5 — Unavoidable error :( *2026-05-03, version 0.2.63* For the past few days I’ve really been enjoying everything this game has to offer! Unfortunately when I went to play this morning, clicking on a specific group of my flowers/crops it immediately gave me this error that says “the game will restart now and you should be able to continue, but please let us know if the problem persists” i restart the game, then it gives me the same error, completely preventing me from accessing the game other than a loading screen. This is my way of contacting to fix the problem hopefully, as I’d love to be able to play, and give this game the rating it deserves! ### 5/5 — An amazing game but *2026-05-02, version 0.2.63* I downloaded this game few days ago and is so addictive and fun! Very refreshing and different from other apps so I’m happy I found it❤️ Although the game have a lot of bugs which is a bit annoying and like currently I can’t continue play until they will fix it, so just fix all the bugs and you are perfect haha 🙏🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — adorable garden game is better *2026-08-23, version 0.2.73* adorable garden game is better ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-23, version 0.2.70* They steal your data ### 1/5 — Multiple glitches *2026-07-01, version 0.2.68* I started over, and even paid for upgrades, multiple times and the app glitched again I had to start over!! Tried contacting app support but it’s been weeks and they still have not been helpful I cannot respond so I am editing my review. I tried contacting support before leaving a review and dent them screen shots of my payments but they just said “ unfortunately “ they do not accept the screen shots and there is nothing they can do instead of asking for any more info regarding the payments or what else I should do! ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading screen *2026-06-24, version 0.2.67* Used to love it, can’t log in anymore ### 1/5 — The game is too slow to load. *2026-01-05, version 0.2.54* Why can't we improve the game's server a little more? The game experience is not so smooth at all. I just need to wait for a long time every time I load the game. The gameplay is also relatively simple. Why does it take so long to load every time? It's not a big game. ### 1/5 — 游戏太肝了 *2025-12-26, version 0.2.54* 最近推出的新活动，是合成类的。活动为期十天，目前的现实情况是除去睡觉时间，在尽量不浪费能量的情况下加上看广告需要九天才可以完成。之前的活动也是，周四开始的活动，需要肝三天才可以拿到最终奖励。对比其他游戏，活动设置的非常不合理。一般来说，为期十天的活动，高强度三四天就可以拿到奖励，如果是每天打卡式的参加一下活动，七八天也可以拿到奖励。但是这一款游戏，标签是休闲，实际在设置活动的时候，拿到奖励所需的时间卡的非常死，这与标签完全不符。玩游戏并不是上班，需要时刻盯着游戏进度，甚至以实际情况来看，这比上班花费的时间更久。我很怀疑开发者是否计算过拿到奖励所需的能量和需要的时间。我的建议是拉长活动时间，否则第二第三天进游戏的人完全没必要参加这个活动了，因为你再怎么努力也拿不到奖励，那这活动也没必要参加了。或者降低获得能量所需的时间，增加能量储量，让参加活动的人可以更轻松的拿到奖励。 ### 1/5 — No game support at all *2025-11-29, version 0.2.51* Honey Grove is a fun game, but there is ZERO customer support. After spending tons on this game, I had to delete it because the game stopped loading. No help from developers or creators. I’m done. What a waste of money and time. ### 1/5 — Error *2025-11-24, version 0.2.51* Downloaded and couldn’t even play. It kept saying error occurred game will restart but never restarted. Just deleted and removed it. It looked like a fun little time killer but oh well ### 1/5 — Deleted my saved data *2025-10-18, version 0.2.40* This has been the only game I’ve ever played and gotten into. I open the app to do one of my quests, and I crashed and deleted all my data and it made me start from the beginning. I’m disappointed and now I hate gaming even more. Please retrieve my data ASAP. ### 1/5 — Don’t let them make you spend money. *2025-08-18, version 0.2.29* This game is so rigged. I needed 1 chia seed to move on to the next row. I had 24 hours left. I have gotten ZERO chia seeds and there is only 9hrs left. Guys they rig the game so you are forced to spend money. Leaving a one star review because this isn’t the first time ya’ll have rigged Abigail quests. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love it! *2026-08-31, version 0.2.73* this game combines two awesome things: bees and flowers, and it’s bee-utiful 🥹 ### 5/5 — Fantastic Fun!!! *2026-08-24, version 0.2.73* I’ve been playing this game for about a three weeks now & it’s safe to say I’m hooked. I really enjoy Runaway Games so I’ve been doing a few - Hatch Dragons & Splash also. The art style in this game is cute, there is a decent amount to do between waiting for plants to grow (events, quests, match 3 puzzles), I really like the variety of bees & their names. The gameplay in this is more engaging than Hatch Dragons IMO, in Hatch Dragons it mostly alternates between harvesting & waiting. I seldom spend money on apps, but I have with this. I really like Tala. It makes me so incredibly happy to see the variety of physical traits in the characters too. I’m a PCOS haver & audibly squealed with joy when I saw Professor Montgomery for the first time. Also, you can turn on haptics in this! Buzz buzz Suggestions: - I’d love, love, love an item to make a vegetable plant permanent / non harvestable at any growth stage. I have artichoke & red cabbage as decorations (pretty purples!!) but I’d like the “!” to go away from my menu. - It would be cute to have canvases like in Animal Jam that you could paint on & display in your hive, or gift to the NPC neighbors. - Having a re-send button for repeated expeditions like the quarry or walnut tree would be convenient, so I can simultaneously collect goods & send a bee, rather than opening the menu several times for a very quick task. One note to new players: The trailer has a great big sprawling garden, it will take you a while to get there. It takes significantly more time to open up space than a game like Dragonvale. That being said, there are plants to discover among the weeds, so you are rewarded as you go! If you’re strategic with how you spend your tools, you can make it feel more open in a decent amount of time. Also, one bug - there’s a possibility this is actually an iPhone thing, because it’s also happened to me on other games, on other versions of iPhones - when I close the app & it sits in the background for a while, then I re-open it and it re-loads, often the audio doesn’t work. I have to restart the app entirely to get the audio back. ### 5/5 — Calming and fun *2026-08-22, version 0.2.73* Hello there! i just joined this a day ago and its very fun and i havent had any adds yet. but it you like calming and fun games then download this! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-21, version 0.2.73* Finding a new game without forced ads is such a great thing, this game is so fun and very customisable. Things i’d like to see is, maybe make the decorations a little easier to get and i’ve noticed it sometimes gets to a point where you can’t do anything due to waiting on things and doing all the necessities so it would be nice to maybe see some mini games? something to pass the time while waiting but also being on the game. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-12, version 0.2.73* This studio is the best game studio ever. This and hatch dragons are the only games on my phone ### 5/5 — well developed! but… *2026-07-24, version 0.2.70* i have way too many of certain vegetables (garlic), and way too little of common ones like carrots and potato. i have so much tree fruit (apples, oranges, pears) and they don’t seem to be needed for anything, or maybe i’m too early in the game. it would be nice for the post office board to prioritize things i have too much of and help get rid of excess inventory. i also really wish shears and decorations were easier to get. so it would be perfect if the post office board would do more of taking my extra fruit/veg (not just cooked dishes) and give me shears and decoration tokens. overall this game is really fun and cute. it’s so much more than just a simple merge game. there are lots of fun aspects and the whole world feels immersive. ### 5/5 — I love playing bees! *2026-07-14, version 0.2.70* Honey grove is my favourite game and the only one I’ve stuck with for this long (6 months!). I love collecting the flowers and reading the story lines with each character. Definitely a grind but I’m happy to have something to destress with day to day. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game!! *2026-07-13, version 0.2.70* Honestly one of the best games I’ve played in so long. The graphics and animation style is so so cute and the game is genuinely fun and interesting to play! ### 5/5 — help！help！😭 *2026-07-11, version 0.2.68* hello，I love this game a lot, but I’ve encountered a possible bug and hope you can check it for me, thank you. I am currently Level 10 and have finished quests quickly, unlocking the recipe for Creamy Artichoke Soup. This dish requires 1 Turnip to craft. However, the Turnip plant has not been unlocked in my plant collection. I’ve tried crafting seeds at the crafting table repeatedly, yet I still cannot unlock Turnip. I have two questions to ask: 1. How can I unlock the Turnip plant? 2. Does the seed crafting table only produce seeds of plants I’ve already unlocked, or am I just unlucky to not get Turnip seeds? Looking forward to your reply, I really love this game, thanks! ### 5/5 — Wonderful little game *2026-07-02, version 0.2.68* I really enjoy playing this! The art is beautiful, gameplay is fun. One of my favourite mobile games at the moment! The only thing I don’t like is gifting the neighbours, they take up soooo much resources for next no xp return and if you don’t click on them every time you use the map it’ll have annoying arrows and red dots. Like it’s pushing for it so hard for some reason and I wish it wasn’t like that. Having to win gifts for neighbours during hard events is also very frustrating. I wish we had more chance to win literally anything else! Oh and is there any reason why when I zoom out in the garden the ambient sound gets super loud? (I have music turned off) it seems to be unaffected by volume sliders when that happens. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
