Keep losing items, they just randomly glitch and disappear. And that’s after spending real money in game. The premise is great, plant trees, play games- but on several occasions some usually high value item will just glitch entirely off the screen. No way to recover it. ### 3/5 — Could be great! *2026-08-24, version 1.40.04* I started out loving this game. I got to plant live trees for playing a cute little merge game, that had cool info about the environment, forest safety and conservation! But with this in mind, I have a question—why do you make it so difficult to make progress, and why is buying things to upgrade the forest so expensive?? The side games are nifty—but hard! We have to have 2 sources of energy, and you must use more than a little to make progress and unearth the sea creatures we need. It wouldn’t be as bad, but there’s no other (free) source of energy, and that’s a bummer! Every game I’ve ever played let you watch an ad or two for 20-25 energies. Y’all do, too, on the main game page. Grr… In the forest, it costs +/- 2400 leaves just to plant a few small bushes that you can barely see. It takes awhile to get that many leaves! In filling the orders, some things are so rare and hard to make, you get only 1 of an item on one charge, and you need many more. (Honey?! Grrrr!!) Don’t get me wrong—it’s still a great game, a wonderful idea, and I know y’all need to make money. I’m just too poor to pay for the extra things that would make playing easier. And thanks for caring about trees and the world. Newest update— There’s a problem in buying or spending to spruce up the area where we want to clean it and plant. Everything is too expensive! I just 4000 leaves to plant 2 little flower bushes. Those things are hard enough to come by. It’d be nice to have opportunities to earn coins, but we will muddle through. ### 4/5 — Can’t save games *2026-08-20, version 1.40.04* Why can’t we save our games? Maddening when I have to switch devices. ### 2/5 — So many glitches *2026-08-08, version 1.40.04* So many glitches! Keep losing valuable items. Please fix it. ### 4/5 — Review *2026-08-03, version 1.40.04* I’ve had puzzle pieces in my storage for MONTHS. When do they come into play? ### 5/5 — Enjoying the game *2026-08-01, version 1.40.04* I really like this game! I saw it on the video game awards and decided why not. It’s not demanding you to return, you can play the matching at your own pace for the most part. Returning in 2026 to say I still enjoy this game and have already planted like 10 trees via game! ### 5/5 — If you care *2026-07-27, version 1.40.04* At least you're doing something. ### 2/5 — So many glitches *2026-07-27, version 1.40.04* So many glitches! Please fix it. ### 5/5 — Helpful to the Earth *2026-07-26, version 1.40.04* I’m helping the plant by planting trees somewhere else. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-25, version 1.40.04* I love this game! The only ads are at the players’ discretion, eg. using an ad to gain something in the game. The story is fun too. The game moves along at a good pace. ### 3/5 — A fun game but very slow progress *2026-07-23, version 1.40.04* I genuinely like this game, it has a neat story line, but it seems to take forever to progress through the story. I play multiple times a day and it will still take quite a while to get enough leaves (or points) to progress. There are a few connections that take 2 hours to “reset”, but you only get 4-5 items each time. When your whole menu is filled with items you need from those connections, and multiple of each item, it can take days or a week to fulfill them all, not to mention the regular items you need to acquire. It’s a great game to waste time, but I wish you could progress a bit faster. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-17, version 1.40.04* Best game on the app store lol ### 5/5 — Longleaf Valley *2026-07-15, version 1.40.04* Love it! ### 5/5 — Addicting *2026-07-13, version 1.40.04* Good for the environment., I have to pull myself away from this game! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-04, version 1.40.04* Entertaining merge game, min disruptions/ads. ### 5/5 — Helpful to the Earth *2026-07-01, version 1.39.14* I’m helping the plant by planting trees somewhere else. ### 5/5 — Great and amazing *2026-06-26, version 1.39.14* This is the perfect game to just sit back and relax and it’s great to know that I’m planting trees ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost inventory *2026-08-19, version 1.40.04* Games bugging out. Lost stuff out of inventory. Can’t even go to app support as page doesn’t exist ### 1/5 — I can’t delete work apps just to download your extension games and now I can’t play certain things. *2026-08-18, version 1.40.04* Reason is up above. I love this game but can’t download extras or I will have to delete this app. Doesn’t make since to me! ### 1/5 — ugh *2026-06-22, version 1.39.14* 1 star because what sense does it make that you can’t save any of your progress ? imagine playing this game and reaching level 100 and then you have to switch phones and all progress is lost .. 0/10 ### 1/5 — NOT CHILD FRIENDLY *2026-06-07, version 1.39.10* KEEP KIDS AWAY!!! I was going to download this game onto my daughter's phone after playing it myself for several months because it's fun and for an actually good cause. HOWEVER, the ads for free items have been completely overrun with Unskippable exerts of hardcore PORN audiobooks. I'm talking graphic scenes of sexual slavery and beastiality, horrible disgusting hardcore stuff that children SHOULD NOT be exposed to! Also: the customer support is 100% AI and completely incapable of helping with literally anything unless you happened to be screen recording while you randomly glitched so be prepared to just deal with any issues and get ZERO help ### 1/5 — No saving the game progress *2026-04-22, version 1.39.10* There is no way to save your account or progress. When you get a new phone, you lose all progress and anything you purchased. Do not spend your money on this! ### 1/5 — Bring back the good prizes! *2026-04-20, version 1.39.10* Bring back the good prizes in the Lilly pad game! I have never had this app crash or just not open crazy so many complaints about that. I love that you can play for hours. I don’t like some ads can be up to like 3 min that’s absolutely outrageous it could be so long! So sick of the dang bird on the Lilly pad game!! ### 1/5 — Consistently getting worse *2026-03-24, version 1.39.10* Over the past 2 years they have downgraded the game, so it becomes way harder to get helpful items like treasure boxes. It started with the toad/lily pad game suddenly providing lower quality items, and costing more to continue on. Now if you merge boosters together it doesn’t even give you the option of buying the other boosters, so i can no longer get extra energy boxes when merging it to the max. I used to love this game, but I’m getting continuously frustrated with how they keep updating and taking away worthwhile features. ### 1/5 — Goodbye forever *2026-03-14, version 1.39.10* You failed to update your game, so I’ve deleted it. Bye Felicia ### 1/5 — Levels Stop At 100 *2026-02-28, version 1.39.10* Finally, a game that ends at level 100 and doesn’t go on and on forever, stealing your money ### 1/5 — No saving the game. *2026-01-21, version 1.39.10* There is no way to save your account or progress. When you get a new phone, you lose all progress and anything you purchased. Do not spend your money on this! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Longleaf Valley: Merge Game *2026-09-02, version 1.40.04* Fun.

Genuinely sharing this experience with others in my social circle, this is such a sweet game with an awesome ulterior motive that makes relaxing innovating. My faith in humanity has been restored; please continue doing what y’all are doing because it truly is such a beauty to see. 💕 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
