I downloaded the app for the notifications and it’s a nice quality of life feature. The developers enjoy their game too and their discord server is always alive. Just a great community to become apart of. ### 5/5 — Addictive + No Advertising! *2026-07-19* Have been super addicted to this game since trying it on Discord, so nice to be able to play a quality game with no ads! ### 5/5 — The best garden game *2026-07-19* I love this game so much ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-18* This game really hits the spot. Easy to play casually or if you want to grind your way to making billions. I don’t usually enjoy games like this but the creators have really put a lot of thought into every aspect making it fun and addictive but also so satisfying. They’ve really put their hearts into magic garden and you can feel that. Thank you guys! ### 5/5 — Delightful & full of novelty *2026-07-18* I’ve been spending way too much time in Magic Garden growing my pretend garden & pets, because this game is so well built. It balances challenges & rewards, in a satisfying way. There are diverse ways to interact & personalize your own game. We can even play with friends. (My village is AZKIPA if you want to visit.) The devs keep active, the game keeps getting better, & almost every update feels like the team guessed something I was secretly wishing for. ### 5/5 — A very peaceful paradise! *2026-07-18* This game is very fun and addictive! It has a lot of cute options for the females that want to design and create their own landscape, as well as other cute features. There is a lot of features in this game just wish we had more space for everything and inventory. If you like cottage core and fantasy elements then this is your game. The weather changing is a really cool feature and you can be creative with different crops for your decorative style. The devs definitely love what they do and enjoy keeping their players updated. Peep: we need backpacks,lol. Otherwise, if you want a game to play with your friends and enjoy fantasy/landscape idle games, click download. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — たのしい *2026-07-16* おもろい ### 5/5 — so cute *2026-07-16* LOVE this game. I just really wish it had more. I wish you could interact with friends more. I have a group of friends and we LOVE playing together. But sometimes it would be cool if we could help eachother or feed each other’s animals. I also would really love to see an incubator or something similar for the eggs. :) ### 5/5 — Insanely Addicting Semi-Idle game! *2026-07-11* This game is too addictive for its own good. If you enjoy collecting of any kind, you will enjoy getting all the plants, pets, and variants to fill up your log book. The developers are still working on changes to the game and updating it with feedback form the players. Highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Incredible game, genuinely *2026-07-06* In the modern age its hard to find games— especially mobile apps— that don’t consist of very predatory micro transactions. This game is the exception. No ads whatsoever, and the only purchases you can make are on a premium currency that is in no way necessary to progress. I love that! This game is really an all around treat . It’s perfect for idle play, popping in to upkeep your farm (with very pleasing and cute sound design and art direction! Seriously the characters and clothing options are so cute and fun to unlock!) And it feels like theres always something to look forward to with the different weather patterns and trying to get different mutations on specific plants for maximum profit. Seriously, I don’t even know what exactly it is about this game but it’s just loads of fun and super addicting. Another thing I love is the multiplayer aspect. Hopping into a discord call and just having everyone chat about their gardens is just such a blast. That being said, I am VERY excited for future updates of this game. Since it’s still early access I believe, theres lots of room to make it even better! I would love to see more seeds and maybe some different weather patterns that leave different mutations on your plants! Or even higher rarity eggs, maybe adding furniture that impacts your garden somehow? I don’t know theres just so many options & opportunities for growth. I’m super excited to see what they add next. I honestly find myself fantasizing when I’m bored about what plants I get to harvest next, it’s an addiction at this point LOL but I love it. All in all, super great and fun game with adorable art! Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Why magic garden *2026-07-03* No answers just play it . Special thanks to aviiiiiii 🥰😍♥️ ### 4/5 — Amber, Dawn *2026-07-02* 안녕하세요 amber moon일 때와 dawn moon 일때 분당 확률이 1%인 것을 알 고 있습니다. 그런데 제가 amberbinder와 dawnbinder을 가지도 있는데 설명상 25%를 증가 시켜준다고 되어있습니다. 그런데 실제 사용 결과 ambermoon 횟수는 10번이상 dawnmoon 횟수는 50회이상 봤는데 binders 주변 총 8개의 작물이 변하는 것을 본적이 없습니다. 최소 5분간 지속 된다고 했을때 8개의 작물이 분당 25% 확률로 작용한다고 했을때 이 확률은 말이 안됩니다. 확률 계산이 잘못된 것은 아닌지 확인부탁드립니다. 정상적으로 작동되고 있나요? 예를들어 1%X25%= 0.25%가 된거 아닌지 아니면 저 +25%가 작동 안되는 것은 아닌지 확인 부탁드립니다. 정말로 binder 주변 8개의 작물이 변한 것을 본적이 없어요. ### 5/5 — Great afk game *2026-06-30* Super addicting, found it on discord with my gf. Could we make benches allow for two players to sit on them next to each other? ### 5/5 — もっとにんきになってほしい！！ *2026-06-30* めっちゃ楽しい！！友達と一緒にやってる！！ ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-06-21* I really LOVE this game. There are a few things i would like to see though. 1. The ability to get rid of seeds I won’t use. I like using a seed finder pet to find those seeds that aren’t available to buy, but I end up with over 60 seeds I don’t use. It would be great to be able to sell them like we can pets. 2. Expanding the field. I’m not saying to be able to make it obnoxiously huge, but if we are stuck with all these seeds, we should have enough room to use them. 3. Ability to put more pets on the field. If we could use 5 pets instead of just 3, it would be a lot better. I know we can buy the pet shelter thing but it’s 80B and that takes a long time to get when you first start. I’m no where NEAR that. Plus buying special eggs at 300 M makes it slower. So maybe bring the price down from 80B. 4. More seeds. There are barely any different choices and the fact the rare ones barely come in stock. I do like having the snow and dawn shops with different seeds, but there are many more that we could have. I do t have the need to buy the first 10 seeds bc I get them with seed finder. I’m overflowing with them. 5. Stability. The app is constantly restarting. It does it like 10 times in an hour. I thought it was just my phone but I play it on different devices and it does it on them as well. ### 5/5 — Loveee this *2026-06-13* Absolutely love this game , it’s so peaceful and cuteeee . The graphics and animation is to die for 💗 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Attends interminable *2026-06-05* Semences et œufs à plus de 1b tu attends sans que jamais il ne soit disponible certe tu mets des notifications pour te rendre compte que oui il en a eu mais tu dormais et tu attends de nouveau et cela fait 3 semaines j’attends sans rien de disponible à quoi bon du jouer au début très satisfaisant mais pas sur le long therme très monotone ### 1/5 — Great early game, but falls hard *2026-04-28* At first, the game is genuinely enjoyable. The pixel art style is really charming and gives off strong Stardew Valley vibes, which makes it feel cozy and relaxing. The early gameplay loop is satisfying too crops grow quickly, usually within seconds or a minute, and you make enough profit to steadily upgrade and unlock new seeds. Those first couple of days feel well paced and rewarding. However, once you progress further into the game, especially when you start dealing with costs in the millions, the balance really starts to fall apart. Growth times suddenly jump to 8 hours or more, and the profit you get doesn’t scale well enough to match. It ends up feeling like you’re waiting far too long for very little return, which slows progression to a crawl and makes the game feel more tedious than fun. The pets are a nice idea and they’re definitely cute, but their usefulness feels limited. A few of them are helpful, but having to constantly manage their hunger becomes more of a chore than an engaging mechanic. After a while, it’s hard to stay motivated to keep feeding them when the payoff doesn’t feel worth it. Decorations are another mixed aspect. They look great and add personality to your garden, but the prices are so high that they feel almost unattainable. Spending billions on cosmetic items just doesn’t seem realistic for most players, which takes away from the enjoyment of customizing your space. One of the most frustrating parts for me was progression being tied to luck or availability. I had a 42-day streak and still never managed to purchase a sunflower seed, which felt unfair and ultimately killed my motivation to keep playing. In the end, I’ve uninstalled the game and won’t be returning unless there are updates that improve the balance and progression system. Magic Garden has a lot of charm and a strong start, but right now it struggles to maintain that enjoyment long-term. ### 1/5 — 連携できない *2026-02-14* ディスコードと連携できないですログインしようとしてもキャンセルしかでません **Developer response:** ご連絡ありがとうございます。 Discordのログインシステムに障害が発生しており、その影響でMagic Garden（およびDiscordログインを利用している他のアプリ）にログインできない状態になっていました。アプリ側の不具合ではありません。現在はDiscord側で修正されています。 お手数ですが、もう一度ログインをお試しください。 もし正常にログインできましたら、レビューの更新をご検討いただけますと大変ありがたいです。引き続き問題が発生する場合は、avi@magiccircle.studio までメールでご連絡ください。できる限り対応させていただきます。 よろしくお願いいたします。 ### 1/5 — Updated review *2026-02-05* Recent updates have brought a slew of bugs. Upon running into one, I reported it on discord. Days went by with no response, with me requesting a response as well and eventually my bug report thread was deleted. Not sure why they refused to acknowledge it, but not acceptable in my books **Developer response:** Hi! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having some issues with the game. I ask kindly for your forgiveness and understanding for feeling that I do not care. The reality is that I am a single developer juggling both this app and all support for the game - we are an extremely tiny team of just a couple people and cannot afford a customer support team. On our Discord, we do not delete bug threads, but I do mark them as “closed” once I ask for follow up - this will notify you to reply, and also moves the thread below the unread ones so we can triage. Discord automatically reopens closed threads if they receive a reply (or even a reaction). This is the standard practice for a large discord forum with 100+ threads per week, though I realize it may be confusing. I would be more than happy to help you 1:1 to resolve whatever bugs you might be facing. Please email me at avi@magiccircle.studio. I will do everything I can to make things right! ### 1/5 — Won’t load past opening screen on iPad *2025-11-18* Won’t go past opening screen, unplayable ### 1/5 — Angry customer *2025-11-01* It glitches way too much and signs me out to the point where now I can’t back in. All my progress for nothing! **Developer response:** hey afane - i'm extremely sorry for the issues and glitches you've been having. please send me an email at avi@magiccircle.studio, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you, and to ensure you're able to get back to gardening asap. on a personal note: I'm just one person working on the Magic Garden iOS app, and i'm doing my best to keep up with the game's growth - but clearly falling short. i apologize, and am working hard to improve it as fast as i can. thank you for being understanding, and I hope to hear from you soon. - Avi ### 2/5 — bug *2025-12-19* I cannot log into the game through discord, it takes multiple refreshes just to get to login page and even if i successfully log in, it gives me a blank screen. I love the game tho, i played thru discord **Developer response:** Hey! Just redownload the app from the App Store and this problem will go away. I’m working on an update that will solve it without needing to reinstall, but until then, this should solve it immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience and happy new year! ### 2/5 — Sadly it’s a moneygrab game *2025-12-19* After playing this game for 2 months straight I really like this game, the concept of it is great. But after playing it for so long it seems like a money grab game and these are the reasons why: >~No possible Advancement without cash - The game doesn’t allow you to simply advance without putting money into it. Even after running it on your pc 24/7 for 30 days straight, Even after getting in the Billions the most you’ll have the chance to get is a Sunflower which is only 100mil. Cash values reflect more intricate games, those with 4K quality and 17 different systems running, the real cash to in game item value is horrible put, simply put it it’s scoff-able. >~No help or report- You’re also not allowed to voice your opinion on the discord, in game, or on the app. So there is no option to report a bug or to report an issue. >~Odds are not accurate -You can never get the crops that you need, the highest value crops aren’t even in the market, I have cracked open at least 75 common eggs and I have never once gotten a random mutation or the bumble bee yet. So , Their statistical odds are run like a gacha game so just want to spend money for no reason, this is the game for you. >~Notifications Faulty - And to top it all off, the notifications in-game are off by a couple minutes. The game runs on a five minute circuit, so you’re lucky if you even get the right notification on time. If you follow their discord then you’re at more of a loss because the crops are wrong, they’ll notify for a sunflower and none will be available. >_<~Sadly don’t waist your money or time in developers who could care less about you and only want your money **Developer response:** So you’ve spent months playing this game, which has no ads, and you for which you haven’t paid anything to support the tiny independent developer behind it. Now, you leave me a negative review and claim I “only care about money”? I am really sorry, but I cannot understand this, and honestly, it just hurts my feelings 😞 I’ve tried to reply to your major claims below: 1) As for not wanting feedback or bugs, nothing could be further from the truth! In reality, we have a thriving Discord community where players all around the world are sharing feedback and bug reports every day. The game itself even prompts you to please report a bug any time there’s an error screen! I even built a feature to give free in-game currency just to encourage players to join the discord and share feedback… 2) About odds: everything is documented in the game and on the wiki. You can even track all your stats in the game itself. The odds of a rainbow are 1 in 1000, so if you were expecting to get that mutation after only 75 eggs, that is certainly not likely. Yes, we make money selling hard to get and cosmetic items… this is how we and most mobile games make money. 3) As for the notifications - about that, you are absolutely correct that occasionally they are delayed. This is 100% my fault, and I am sorry for this. I have already written extensively about this in our discord community, and I am working on improvements to the system next month. But despite what you may think, I am *one person* maintaining our iOS app and our notification system. If you have any further feedback, I sincerely would be happy to hear from you either in our discord, or you can email me at avi@magiccircle.studio. Hopefully you will give me the opportunity to demonstrate that I really do care about our players and making a delightful game for you to enjoy. - Avi ### 2/5 — アプリで開く意味が無い *2025-10-08* ディスコードで出来るからとかそんな理由ではなく、ディスコード側でしか買えない種が強いのが原因 また、アプリ側ではフレンドボーナスが貰いにくい。というよりどこにどれだけいるのがが不明で意味を為してない。 アプリ側でしか買えない種はスキルで手に入るので無意味。 総じて通話に入らずに畑いじれる以上のメリットは無いし、それなら別のことしたいというのが個人的感想 ### 3/5 — Unexpected overheating *2026-06-13* I use an iPhone 13, and honestly, its battery health is not at 100% anymore. However, I’ve noticed since last year that whenever I enter the game, for some reason my phone gets extremely hot, even with only the game running. I didn’t give it a 1-star rating because it’s not something that bothers me that much, but it is something that causes a lot of concern. **Developer response:** Hi! So sorry to hear the performance hasn’t met your expectations. This is an area I’ve been working to improve, and I’ve recently added more options to reduce head and improve battery life particularly on phones older than 5+ years such as yours. You can lower the FPS to 30 or lower and reduce the Render Scale to 100%, as well as disabling animations. If you need more help, please email me at avi@magiccircle.studio and I’ll be happy to help! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It is a total boredom buster *2026-08-24* I took it up for the title on discord but after one day,I became obsessed the pets are so cute and the overall graphics designs is goood. ### 5/5 — Really fun *2026-08-16* Super fun! Love collecting the pets and getting the newsletters whenever new features come out ### 5/5 — Just a Gardener *2026-08-14* My favorite game of all time. I started on discord, and then saw that there was an app. So I downloaded it. It’s not ptw, and the game is simple. Buy seed plant seed wait for it to grow harvest plant and sell plant. But that’s not all, you can also buy eggs to get pets, which helps you with your garden. There’s a journal where you log is your plants and pets. So you don’t get bored of the game. There are also updates that are constantly being added so it not the same thing time and again. ### 5/5 — Must try *2026-08-13* Its an awesome game i just love it 🥰 ### 5/5 — grow a garden but good *2026-08-04* hope the devs add more content, having a blast so far ### 5/5 — Cute & Passive *2026-07-31* I love my character and managing my little team of critters influence my crops. ### 5/5 — toooop *2026-07-25* bom de vdd ### 5/5 — Addictive & Fun *2026-07-22* It’s really addictive- who knew as an adult you’d look forward to hatching some new pets or racking up coins planting new seeds. To the creators- is recommend the ability to move plants and re organise them without compromising on destroying them with the shovel. I would also suggest a reasonable amount too but additional land & also additional assistance such as harvesters or pet care , sellers ect. ### 5/5 — Amazing. Me and my family are addicted. 🩷👍✨ *2026-07-20* (Read full review) My first thought: Ugh another one of those scammy, ad infested, money grabbing games. However, that was NOT the case. I love this game. 100% deserves the 5 stars. (Which I rarely give to anything) I love that it’s a fun game that isn’t scammy for once. There are no ads, and no inappropriate stuff. Just cute characters and a fun concept. There ARE in-app purchases available, but it’s for the premium currency which isn’t required to play the game. Normally I agree with the critical reviews, but this time they were just hating. This game is made by a small group of developers. And it’s just…. Wonderful 🥹 I can’t wait for more updates to come! One suggestion: Could you allow it so we can have up to FOUR pets in our garden? It’s really hard to only choose 3. Overall a fun game, cute designs, and extremely addicting! (lol) Highly recommend! 🩷🩷✨✨👍👍 ### 5/5 — Perfeito! *2026-07-19* Interface muito bem feita, objetivo divertido, possibilidade de crescimento no jogo, sem compras e anúncios abusivos. Um jogo muito fofo! Só recomendaria colocar a possibilidade de doar sementes para os amigos e a de vender as decorações caso se arrependa de ter comprado. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
