Fixed camera angle also makes it difficult to observe multiple plants. the plant stat sheet gets cut off by the edge of the screen. But it’s a relaxing simulator. Just needs some bug fixes ### 3/5 — Bug! *2025-02-17, version 1.0.2* 我买不了花架，只能买高花架，非常沮丧！ ### 4/5 — The sun is too bright.. *2025-02-10, version 1.0.2* I really really enjoy this game but my plants arent going well during summer because of the sun and there’s no way of hiding them! I wish the umbrella could hide from the sun or something because its unmotivating. Also pleaseeeee let us speed up the process it takes so long its horrible lol ### 3/5 — Amazing idea! Zoom issues on all devices though *2024-12-20, version 1.0.2* Agree with all other reviews, lovely idea and gives you some escapism until it annoys you. It doesn’t matter what size your phone is, I have an iPhone 14 Plus and still have zoom issues and plant placement issues, you can only add within a boundary of a circle it seems! As soon as this is fixed I’d be happy to purchase so will be keeping an eye out on the updates and will reconsider my review! Thanks developers for a great new addition to the App Store, hoping the glitches get worked on soon! 😊 ### 1/5 — Moving things ruins the chilling vibe *2024-12-08, version 1.0.2* The game is supposed to give a chilling vibe but moving all the plants and stuff ruins everything. This pisses me off. I purchased to unlock the full version and expected it to be smoother but seems like it didn't help. Please fix or else remove the game if you can’t do that. ### 5/5 — Have to buy full version to get the real experience of the game. *2024-11-12* Overall, it seems like good game, but you have to buy the full version to get the real experience of the game. A lot of the items in the shop have to have “full version” ### 4/5 — Please fix these points *2024-11-08, version 1.0.2* Why the girl delay watering the plants? That makes my plants die. Moving the plant is difficult. And sometimes game’s lag. Hope you improve these points to make the game more perfect ### 1/5 — 🙄 *2024-11-08, version 1.0.2* I paid 3$ for unlock the game, but it's still not unlocked?? ### 5/5 — If you love plants then check out this app *2024-11-03, version 1.0.2* The hand drawn illustrations are beautiful. It’s peaceful too. And the selection of plants that you can grow is great! I’m really enjoying my time in this app. It’s perfect because I could never grow pomegranate trees where I live but I can in here. ### 3/5 — iPad version very glitchy *2024-10-29, version 1.0.2* It’s a lovely game and the idea is great, however, it is very glitchy when playing the mobile version on my iPad. The taller plants go off the screen making it impossible to harvest plants. Also in the greenhouse, you cannot put plants in front of each other as the games keeps locking on to the plant in front, so I cannot harvest the one behind. You also cannot place plants on the right side of the greenhouse, or wall, for the information screen re watering etc gets cut off and you cannot see what’s needed. More work needed to sort these issues out for a game that is meant to be relaxing can get very frustrating. ## Frequently asked questions about Pocket Oasis ### What is Pocket Oasis?
