This means anytime I beat a level, have to watch an ad for a reward, or something like that I just lose out on the reward even if I watch the full ad. If this gets fixed it would be a 5 stars from me. ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-23, version 13.3.1* This game had SO much potential but EA decided to make it pay to win. Amazing gameplay, just way too pay to win.. most of the plants cost more than 5 dollars. This game is just money hungry. Recommend if you don’t care about the purchases ### 4/5 — Propose *2026-08-23, version 13.3.1* At least players should choose whether to play the tutorial or not. As soon as you enter the game, it is an endless tutorial. People have no patience to play. ### 2/5 — Game issue with Kingshot ad *2026-08-22, version 13.3.1* Great game I love the puzzles but the only big issue i have with it is the Kingshot ads. There is no way for me to complete them. Normally the ad ends and you can “X” out of them after a min or two. But for some reason Plants VS Zombies forces you to play the ad and still cannot X out of it. ### 3/5 — My game progress got deleted and now it is freaked up and all of my purchases are gone $35.99 paid *2026-08-22, version 13.3.1* My game progress got deleted and now it is freaked up and all of my purchases are gone $35.99 paid all gone Fudge ### 3/5 — I don’t know *2026-08-21, version 13.3.1* It doesn’t give me a plant whenever I have enough ### 3/5 — Great game overall *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* This game is really fun, but why is Wild West Day 20 so hard. I’ve been doing this level for 2 days. Edit:I FINALLY BEAT IT ### 4/5 — Please *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* Make an update so you can get sandbox after you beat all the levels in the game ### 3/5 — underwhelming *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* game’s good, but feels WAY too easy, so easy that it’s boring, js started the game so I can’t say much, but dude, the gargantuar is literally a basic zombie but with a little more hp, idk what pvz1 did, but they did something right! this game has been heavily nerfed for little tiny kids, anyone know who says this is hard just has a insane skill issue, why did they need to add a upgrade system? you get plants that have a purpose, and you use that plant’s purpose for attack or defense. the game is alright, but they took great aspects of a good game and replaced it with something dull for lil kids. ### 2/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-19, version 13.3.1* I got to level 2 of the pirates whenever i press play on the level it doesn’t work and just crashes completely. I used airplane mode restarting my tablet. EVERYTHING. Still doesn’t work…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game như cặc *2026-08-24, version 13.3.1* Đm game thuần bate xong mẹ nv r đéo cho nhận 10kc ### 1/5 — It won’t let me play *2026-08-23, version 13.3.1* The game keeps freezing when I try to join and then kicked me out of the game. ### 1/5 — very bad *2026-08-23, version 13.3.1* I HATE THIS GAME I SPENT MONEY FOR THIS GAME THAT SUCKS AND THERE ARE GAMES that are free and are so fun to play ### 1/5 — Pay to win game *2026-08-22, version 13.3.1* Really disgustingly greedy game. Everything is pay to win. They only care about taking your money. Don’t bother downloading. ### 1/5 — Progress gone *2026-08-21, version 13.3.1* I haven’t played in two months but I was bored so I wanted to beat lv 27 on the beach one but then my progress got deleted Two gone ### 1/5 — Ads makes the game unplayable *2026-08-21, version 13.3.1* You can’t even skip some of the ads and you have to re open the game. You get ads every time you finish the level and it’s very laggy to use. ### 1/5 — Good before they added ads *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* I used to be able to play this and enjoy it, but the ads are ridiculously difficult to deal with. They take over the screen and if you touch it at all they have interactive stuff happening with some stupid other game they’re trying to sell. I end up just closing the game (and have now removed it from my phone entirely). I would pay one time to remove them but pay monthly? No way. Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Terrible crashing and ads *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* I barley started playing due to nostalgia and it’s just terrible the mobile ads ruined it and I can’t seem to find and option where you can disable or at least buy the ad free option!!! This needs to be addressed because I can’t even play the third level without the game crashing, for some reason the game crashes when I try to play the third level and this happened after a dumb ad… ### 1/5 — Muchos anuncios *2026-08-20, version 13.3.1* Q anuncios tan molestos ### 1/5 — Glitching *2026-08-19, version 13.3.1* Every time i try to spend my money it glitches and goes to my Home Screen and when I try to play the finale level it also glitches out it’s getting worse and worse please someone help me so I can play my game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — We want Rome! *2026-08-25, version 13.3.1* And sky city if not a a iPad version of gardenless ### 5/5 — We want Rome! *2026-08-24, version 13.3.1* And sky city ### 5/5 — 1 game *2026-08-24, version 13.3.1* This game is very fun if you replace the music with Astro Bot’s. Thank you for everything!

I’m sorry to say this but you need to change the price of 60 seed packets for 5 dollars back to the original 250 for 5 dollars. But this game is amazing :) ### 5/5 — Cute penguin *2026-08-21, version 13.3.1* Penguin ### 5/5 — Childhood *2026-08-18, version 13.3.1* Mom wouldn’t let me play this when I was younger because it was violent, grew up and still confused how it’s violent ### 5/5 — zombe *2026-08-16, version 13.3.1* zombe gaem has zombe 10/10 - Tugboat --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
