Taking too many energies and getting same things on small board. Please fix Why use so more energy for the flower pot. It takes away and take longer to complete missions please fix. I love this game ### 2/5 — Bet4x *2023-12-30* How come when we’re betting 4 energies we still get level 1 or2 items why not get what we’ve already upgraded too. Taking too many energies and getting same things on small board. Please fix ### 3/5 — The update??? *2023-12-04* This was one of my favorite games. I’d spend my own money and everything. This WAS probably one of the best merge games until the most recent update. This update is hideous. It’s so bad that every time I open the app I close it immediately. I’m disappointed because I play this game a lot but now it’s just hard to look at. ### 2/5 — Backpack freezes *2023-12-03* I don’t like the new upgrade. My backpack freezes everytime I click on it. I can’t use anything I have saved. I am going to go ahead and delete it. ### 3/5 — New update deleted garden shed *2023-12-03* The new update deleted my gardentoolshed so now I can’t finish some of the quests.. anyone else have this issue ### 3/5 — Was good. Now just okay *2023-12-01* The newest update made it way too confusing and complicated. I liked it before. ### 3/5 — Missing generators since update *2023-12-01* I was enjoying this game until the most recent update. I am now missing multiple generators that are required to complete orders. This needs to be fixed asap ### 2/5 — Recent Update *2023-12-01* I love merge games such as this…I enjoyed this game until the recent update. The new graphics are terrible, I lost some of my generators, and there have been additional merge options added for various products that make it harder to get to those higher level items to complete requests. The energy amount has remained the same all the while additional item levels have increased. I do although like the fact that there are now building materials to assist with upgrading the home but those building materials come very few, far, and between. Please either fix the upgrade or go back to the old format. ### 2/5 — Update *2023-11-30* Loved this game until the new update. All of the sources had to be added back to the board, but the garden cabinet is gone?? And I have requests that need to be done that include items from that. I tried deleting app and redownloading, also tried to delete my account to start over which didn’t work. **Developer response:** Dear Player, Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that you're missing the Garden cabinet after the game upgrade. We want to inform you that we have relocated the generator to the later chapters of the game. Additionally, to compensate for the inconvenience, we have sent you some new generators from the latest chapter. We hope you enjoy exploring the new update and the new generators. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We appreciate your understanding and patience. ### 1/5 — Mad *2023-11-30, version 2.13.0* I lost gardening shed after update can’t not find it I can’t continue with out it 😭 ### 3/5 — Coins *2023-10-23, version 2.11.0* Loving the game but what are the coins for? I cant find anywhere to spend them. ### 3/5 — How to use coins? *2023-10-22* The store wants diamonds or real money so what are the earned coins in the game good for? I can't see anywhere that let's me use them **Developer response:** Hi Player, thanks so much for your feedback about the usage of coins. Now the coins can be used to expand your storage. In the next update, we will add more usages for coins. Thanks again for your support. ### 3/5 — More levels?? *2023-10-17* I like the game. But I’m on level 41 and I can’t open any other areas. It’s been like this for over a week. If that’s as high as it goes I’m deleting this game. In this case if it is as high as you can go let someone know. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for enjoying our game. We apologize for the inconvenience you've been experiencing with the inability to open new areas. The new areas will be opened within this week. Thanks for your patience and understanding. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2025-02-01, version 2.16.0* Update this game please ### 1/5 — No update yet! *2025-01-12, version 2.16.0* Still have yet to update the game to unlock the new area. Now all you can do is merge and merge once you finish the pool area so 1 star instead of 5. ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!! *2024-06-19* Not only have I attempted to email, just contact anyone that will answer! I have tried to find out if anything new is coming up. But to no avail. They will not answer a simple question. I have waited for a while now and I haven’t seen any updates and can not progress any more. Not only that but spent my money to play and it has just stopped! The App Store needs this to be removed so no one else has to keep asking for updates and continuing the story. I really enjoyed this game. It was one of the best merge games I’ve played. I thought finally not just a boring game but it was fun. I would have given it 5 stars, I like it that much. Now nothing.. but they will keep trying to sell you something! Don’t buy it! Because all the sudden you can’t do anything but merge and merge and merge some more. And well that’s it! ### 1/5 — More levels?? *2024-03-31* I really like this game and even the storyline. I have spent my own money and don’t mind it but if you can’t progress and that’s all the levels then what’s the point? I see complaints about the new update but unfortunately for me good or bad updates, I’m still at the same level because there isn’t anymore! Will there be more and will you improve the most recent update??? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for enjoying our game. We apologize for the inconvenience you've been experiencing with the inability to open new areas. The new areas will be opened within this week. Thanks for your patience and understanding. ### 1/5 — Hate new update *2023-12-17* What are the insects for??? Can’t sell them, there is no use for them so you just have to use your energy to get rid of them. I won’t spend anymore money on this game. I used to spend $20 a week at least never again with it like this. ### 1/5 — What happened *2023-12-16* This game used to be a game. I like playing until the recent update now this game is terrible. I don’t know what you people did or what you think you were doing to make it better, but you definitely made it worse. ### 1/5 — Don’t like new update *2023-12-04, version 2.13.0* Definitely getting ready to delete this game, it’s been one of my favorites but I’d don’t like the new update at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t use anything in my storage *2023-12-02* Loved the game but I can’t use anything now that was in my storage prior to the update and the game just freezes when I try to go into the storage now. ### 1/5 — Hate the latest update 🤬 *2023-12-01* Took away all my coins and repair points midgame. Graphics are awful now. Too many generators. Took away progress in the levels i DID have. Feels like a giant shift to paywall/pay to play. Deleted it. No thanks. Hard pass. ### 1/5 — Update *2023-11-30, version 2.13.0* I absolutely hate this new update. I wish I can change it back!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-12-26* I don’t mind spending any money on this game. Which you really don’t have to to progress. They are generous with winning energy and gems. The only technical difficulty I’ve had is that on the loading screen it doesn’t load properly sometimes. I just just off Wi-Fi to my device and quickly turn it back on then the game loads just fine. It doesn’t happen all of the time just every now and then. ### 5/5 — Old board UI please!!! 😭 *2023-12-01* Please please can you go back to the old UI?? The coins/repair points merger makes sense, but I highly prefer the previous game board visuals and layout—especially the appearance of the customer orders. Everything seems smaller and harder to see now. It was perfect before. I was playing for HOURS at a time. I feel like this new interface will lose me. Please can you change it back? 🙏🥲 ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-10-19* Hi I love this app but I have a problem to open the game please help me ### 5/5 — Why the coins? *2023-09-30* I am curious as well? There is nothing you need them for so why would you have them? I do like the game **Developer response:** Dear Player, thank you for reaching us. We appreciate your input and are always open to hearing from our players. At present we can use coins to expand the space of the storage and we will try to add more usages for coins in future updates. All in all, thank you so much for your support of our game. Have a nice day 🙂 ### 5/5 — What’s the purpose of the coins *2023-09-28* Very fun game but what is the point of the coins. I’m not seeing anything you can use them on **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching us. At present, the coins are used to expand your storage to put your items. Later we will add more usages for coins. If you have any suggestions for coin usage, please feel free to tell us via mergesecret@forevernine.com. All in all, thank you so much for your support of our game. Have a nice day. ### 4/5 — The grammar though lolol *2023-09-25, version 2.10.0* “Here is so mess. Let go to the warehouse…” It’s like they didn’t even try… ### 4/5 — Typos *2023-09-19* This game is cute so far but the misspelled words or sentences that ‘sound’ like broken English is annoying. I feel like spell check is available to everyone and making sure things like that are correct is important and shows the developers care and take the time to create a great game. Not sure how long I will continue to play. **Developer response:** Dear Player, Thank you for taking the time to share your suggestion with us. We appreciate your input and are always open to hearing from our players. We will carefully check the misspelling problems in our game to offer you a better gaming experience. We will be very appreciated if you can send us the problems you found in our game via mergesecret@forevernine.com. All in all, thank you so much for your support to our game. Have a nice day :) ### 3/5 — Update soon? *2024-09-01* This is my favorite merge game. I have played a lot but none was ever as fun as this one until recently. Once I finished the pool area the game just stops and says update coming soon. Is the update for the game coming soon though? I’ve been on that part for what seems like a few months now. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2024-06-05, version 2.16.0* Update please 😊 ### 3/5 — Where is the story? *2024-05-07* There was an actual story until the update. I now continue to merge items but never get back to renovating the house. Has that been removed? Is this just to create coins to fill in the photos? Very confused on the goal. It was very straightforward now convoluted. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
