### 3/5 — Fun game but….

*2026-08-13, version 2.4.1*

This game is really great for just chilling after a stressful day, but the Gossip Harbour ads which are totally misleading are out of control, there are so many that they destroy what ever fun I’m having playing the game. Will most likely delete the game for this reason.

### 4/5 — New update 4/07/26

*2026-07-04, version 2.3.2*

It is not showing in App Store why

### 4/5 — Unrealistic but lowkey okay with it

*2026-07-03, version 2.3.2*

Whenever I am turning in this game, I find myself confused as to which part of the mower actually has the blades underneath it. It seems that they at some times are near the back wheels and then are also somehow also up front when it is convenient? 

I am not sure if maybe there are two sets of blades or maybe they teleport or perhaps are magic?? 

Either way, lowkey I am okay with it 🤷‍♂️

### 4/5 — Cute, enjoyable game

*2026-06-08, version 2.2.9*

It is hard to find the menu to remove ads.

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2026-05-26, version 2.2.8*

I can sit for 30 minutes and just “mow lawns”. I find it quite relaxing. The sound effects contribute to the relaxation, birds, mower running. Reminds me of living up north. The BIGGEST complaint I have is the ads. I don’t even mind most of the but I DETEST the violent, shooting, gun apps. I’ve considered deleting the game because of the ads. I’ve checked off opinions boxes that they are offensive to but that apparently doesn’t matter.

### 2/5 — Chill Until Ad Flood

*2026-05-26, version 2.2.8*

Chill game. Was enjoying and considering purchase for half a minute until they quickly hit me with ads after every single yard.  Probably would have hooked me if it had only been after each street.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-12, version 2.2.7*

Great game, super relaxing, and exactly like the title. No mandatory adds but you can get gems by watching optional ones :)

### 5/5 — Calming

*2026-05-03, version 2.2.7*

It’s so calming

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-04-30, version 2.2.7*

The most relaxing & fun game I have on my phone.

### 5/5 — J’adore

*2026-04-15, version 2.2.7*

Je joue à ce jeu sans cesse je l’adore il me calme :D

### 2/5 — Ad mowing

*2026-04-08, version 2.2.4*

Mowing is nice but ads after every lawn after the first 10 not so much

### 5/5 — 그냥 잔디 깎기

*2026-04-07*

광고 안나오고 힐링돼서 좋네요

### 5/5 — My go to game

*2026-04-04, version 2.2.4*

I’m not a “gamer” by any means. This is the first one that really got my attention.

### 5/5 — Perfect game to pass time

*2026-03-25, version 2.2.4*

I’ve been really enjoying It’s Literally Just Mowing—it’s relaxing, unique, and a game I keep coming back to. I wanted to share a few ideas that could make it even better.

First, character customization could be improved. It would be great if we could customize outfits more, like choosing different shirts, pants, and especially shoes. That would add more personality and make the game feel more engaging.

Another idea is adding a system where if we save up enough gems, we can permanently unlock boosts or the robot. Temporary boosts are nice, but having a long-term goal like this would give players more motivation to keep playing.

Lastly, bringing back the Cybermower would be huge for the community. Even if it’s through a special event or a high-cost unlock, it would give players something exciting to work toward.

Overall, I really enjoy the game and appreciate the work that’s gone into it—these changes would take it to the next level.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-03-24, version 2.2.4*

Very addictive game. My only feedback would be that you be able to upgrade lawn mowers with regard to getting bigger ones with wider cutting area. Be able to have multiple mowers to switch from

### 5/5 — Relax

*2026-03-09, version 2.2.3*

Enjoying this game, enjoying the green grass.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-03, version 2.2.3*

Mowing a few lawns is part of my routine when I wake up everyday - helps me relax. I Love the seasonal events with all the different mower skins etc, awesomeness.

### 1/5 — Riddled with ads now.

*2026-06-06, version 2.2.9*

I started playing years ago and I played for a long time.  I remember now why I stopped.  

The game give you an ad ever two lawns.  That’s an Ad about every 3 to 4 minutes.  

And it’s not just a picture ad or something.  No, that’s too easy.  It’s a video ad, you usually have to click 2 to 3 times to make it go away.   It’s more ad than playing.  

Skip this once fun and relaxing game, because now it’s just ad delivery.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-05-19, version 2.2.8*

After getting through level 10 with 12 streets still to go I have to say @#$% it. Not worth it anymore. I never advance. Just get more streets to mow. Oh, and the more you progress, the longer the streets become. But, I’m still on the same damn mower with no improvements. Unless you call getting new tires or a steering wheel a step up. I personally wouldn’t recommend this for anybody. If I could give it zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Lost Account

*2026-05-02, version 2.2.7*

deleted all my progress even though i’m backed up with cloud and game centre

### 1/5 — FRAJERKA BEZ KONIKA

*2026-02-11, version 2.1.0*

Moja frajerka hrala tuto oddane hrdo a s chutou ako nikto pred tym priblizne 7.5 sekundy a stale nedostala svojho konika ale dajaky pojebany list.

### 1/5 — It literally doesn’t work, just no turning

*2026-01-25, version 2.0.10*

I just played and it wasn’t working, wouldn’t turn when I tried to turn. Pointless if it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — RACIST!!!

*2025-12-26, version 2.0.8*

I wish I could give this pathetically racist game zero stars! Brown woman, presumably Hispanic, named MARIA? Shame on you Apple!

### 1/5 — Für einige paar Runden keine Werbung, danach nur noch Werbung

*2025-11-29, version 2.0.8*

Belangloses Game mit ein paar Skin-Upgrades, aber nach mehren Spielrunden kamen auch aufeinmal doch noch pro Runde erzwungenermaßen Werbungen.. danach habe ich das Spiel wieder deinstalliert… Schrott

### 1/5 — Terrible steering control

*2025-11-25, version 2.0.8*

Terrible steering control

### 1/5 — Event timing poor

*2025-10-31, version 2.0.7*

Stopping events too early again. Why bother with them? Autumn event stopped mid-Autumn. Halloween event stopped the day before Halloween. Looking forward to the inevitable Christmas event, which will no doubt stop on 23rd December. 🤦‍♂️

### 1/5 — LONG Forced Ads

*2025-10-02, version 2.0.6*

I was just randomly forced to watch a minute and a half of ads for no reason. Immediate uninstall. Forced ads are unacceptable but 90 seconds of forced ads is unfathomable. I don’t care how good the game actually is. These are bad business practices.

### 5/5 — Very Peaceful

*2026-08-20, version 2.5.0*

I just wanted something to relax playing. I’m a truck driver. After driving for 10+ hours, you just want to relax and unwind. So, I saw this game, and downloaded it. It was a very smart move. Thank you to the developers. You all take care and have a blessed day…

### 5/5 — Chuck

*2026-08-16, version 2.4.1*

An excellent game!

### 5/5 — This game is my favorite

*2026-08-05, version 2.3.5*

I have been playing this game since January 2020.  I love the many houses and yards to mow. It’s relaxing to play. I enjoy it! I love now you can have one house for your own home yard.  It’s cool how you can put trees, flowers and yard furniture on your home yard to have look the way you like it.  I really do love this game!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-31, version 2.3.5*

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-16, version 2.3.3*

My second run through. Great game that is super grounding and you can feel calm with.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-11, version 2.3.0*

Great

### 5/5 — Love the game but HATE the new icon!

*2026-05-31, version 2.2.9*

Why did you change the icon from the guy on the mower to just blades of grass? It looked much better the other way. I didn’t even know what game it was when I seen it!

### 5/5 — Please keep going! I LOVE IT!!

*2026-05-22, version 2.2.8*

As a neurodivergent this game is my HEAVEN. I just got it this year and It’s so calming. I play it almost everyday. My only request is to please keep adding to it! I so badly want to be able to change my mowers clothing!! Also it would be so friggin cool if you made it so we could mow at night and if we could own a house in each style of neighbourhood that way we have more places to use our yard decorations and there’s more incentive to keep looking for the perfect house and get more decorations! I have so many ideas because I have NEVER felt so invested in a game. If I could I would invest in prostar games just to keep adding to the mowing universe 🤩🥳 thank you so much!!!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-05-15, version 2.2.7*

I love this game it’s kind of peaceful to just mow and see the new animals and bugs and to upgrade your vehicle this humane is 10 out of 10

### 5/5 — Greatest this game has ever seen!

*2026-05-13, version 2.2.7*

It’s literally just mowing and I’m literally the greatest mower this game has ever seen. Over 1700 days mowed in a row.  Just call me Mowhamed Ali
