### 4/5 — Great Game But SO MANY BUGS

*2022-11-28, version 3.27.0*

I absolutely love this game and played for two days or so and then bough the membership. I got 3 mouth and got toothless and Light Fury. I was doing the Ice Storm Island quest and I got “feed the baby groncile a brown trout”, and I had a brown trout. I went to find it and the arrow was pointing to the school. I went their and the arrow had disappeared and I hunted around the area for about twenty minutes until deciding to go back to berk to attempt to find it there. After STILL not finding it, I watched a tutorial and it showed seeing the baby BESIDE HICCUP AND HIS HOUSE. I went to that exact spot and Hiccup nor the baby were there. I quit this quest thinking it was probably glitched and started Call of the Death Song. I started and on the second quest, it said “shoo the amber with your dragon”, BUT THERE WAS NO AMBER IN SIGHT. I watched yet another tutorial and the amber was supposed to be the one the wild attacking Death Song shot in the scene before! I don’t know what’s the problem but I’d love if there were fixed. I looked online about it I think others are having this problem. Thank for you reading this, if you did.

### 4/5 — Please!!!!! Unlock the age up for the nightlights!!!!! Also what is with the prices?

*2022-07-17, version 3.24.0*

So to start this is a really good game I love everything about the game well almost the only thing is the membership prices. For example the 1 month is ok but then it just goes down 3 month membership $25 a month that is a little more than it should be it could have been like $5 for 1 month and then like I don’t know like $10 a month for the membership. But no more about that now the nightlights they did the best thing ever omg they made the nightlight adults and that is all I wanted and still want to this very moment. I wanted a adult Dart for ever and so I bought a baby but then I saw that you have to do the quest to get them and so I put all that I could into it time and daily things that I got and finally it came to the last day of them being out but nope they were gone.😔 But then I realize that you could go to where you age up your everyday dragon and did it work!? NO!!! It was lock it said I had to complete the event to do it and I was so mad Bc it had already ended taking my dreams with it and that was a long time ago and it is still locked so I hope that they read thing and they can unlock the age up because I really want them to become adults!

### 4/5 — Great game

*2022-01-01, version 3.21.0*

I have been playing this game for a year or two and I love it! There is a couple parts of the game that could use some work though..I was thinking that the islands could be a little more accurate and look more like how they look in the movies/show but I understand that it takes a lot of work to design and you shouldn’t change everything just because of one comment. I also love how the night lights were added and how they have a whole storyline type thing leading up to them becoming adults. I do wish there was a way to get all 3 night lights as adults though but Valka did say at the end up that quest there would be other chances to get the other 2 so I am expecting that sometime in then future. I also love the quests, the fun ones though, not the ones where they teach you stuff in the beginning…I do wish that all the quests were available to everyone instead of some being just the memberships but I do understand that that’s how you guys make money and stuff. And the last thing I’m hoping for is more quests, instead of only getting more quests during holidays and stuff, I’d love to see more quests come that aren’t holiday related or only available to people with the memberships. Anyways, I hope you found my review helpful, thanks for reading, and have a good day/night!

### 4/5 — I loved this game for years but the quests crash

*2021-12-16, version 3.21.0*

I have played this game for many years and I’ve created numerous accounts on the game. I love this game and all of the dragons in it but the expansion packs have a problem. Some of the quests won’t let you do them. The quest is there but you can’t progress because you can’t do the tasks you need to do. Example: when you have to ride the pickle boggle you can’t because the button won’t show up and you can’t reset the quest to fix it. It’s not just in expansion packs either. The Berk guard quest has the same problem too. The only way to fix it is to create a new account and buy the membership again and do everything all over. I’m not going to waste money for that to happen all over again. Another problem is the flight suits. Even when you unequipt the flight suit it still shows it on your character and you can’t do anything about it. It really limits the customization options for characters for fear that the flight suit will ruin it. You can’t even delete it. Please fix the quest problems or at least let us have a way to completely reset without having to create another account. Also fix the flight suit if you can. Thank you and have a nice day.

### 5/5 — What’s up with the woolly howl

*2021-09-14, version 3.17.1*

Ok I think this is a pretty good game it’s fun theirs things to do all the time I mean how to train your dragon is like my favorite thing ever and I have bought a lot of eggs and I think my favorite is the woolly howl, but I feel like it’s being made pathetic because every dragon has its thing but this dragon is literally just a nerfed toothless with wool and an ice ability I mean at least make his dive better when I dive with this dragon it’s like I’m not even diving which I am and it just feels like I’m just regularly flying and I think that’s stupid because then what’s its ability, COLD? no because a lot of dragons have that I mean if it’s too much to ask then ok at least make the dive better please or i don’t know if I can Play anymore,If you add the points together you know Speed Pitch rate and all of that it only adds to 30 average is 36 and how come the woolly howl is 10.1 Speed which is faster then toothless(10.0) and is still slower. I also think it is pretty stupid how you get banned for 24 hours after two warnings on the chat i mean i literally said a number and i don’t talk inappropriately so when i’m getting message blocked it’s a problem especially when someone comes up to me and says hi and then i jump to try and say hi back they say it again and then i jump again and then they just fly away and it looks like I’m just being rude…
Please fix these problems

### 4/5 — This game is great but has some issues

*2021-08-27, version 3.17.1*

Ok first this game is amazing i’ve been playing for a few months now and i got to say its great. I love the show and series so much and i wished it never ended to this game is really helping me out. But The quest that i do sometimes, i can’t finish it because i will have to pay for it so i’ll really like it if that could be removed. The dragons are all amazing but there are dragons u can get but it starts as a baby and it can take a while to get places bc you can’t ride it so it never grows up because i use the adult one. The game crashes, This game is perfect for a car ride or just a game to chill but sometimes when I really want to play the game it crashes and i can’t play it and it makes me get annoyed. I also wish to re-customize your dragon you don’t have to use gems and i’ll also like for there to be different ways to get gems instead of having to watch an add all the time or pay. Other than that the game is wonderful and thank you for making this, i hope u see this to try and fox some of the issues but once again thank you for the amazing game

### 5/5 — Love this game, just a few suggestions

*2021-07-31, version 3.17*

Overall, i think this game is genius. I love playing it and it calms me down. However, there are a few things that i don’t really enjoy. First of all, I think that you should be able to purchase gems with coins. Not everyone might want to spend to much money on a game, especially if they have many things they want to purchase. Also, I think you would be able to buy the light fury as a dragon. Unlike Toothless, there were many light furies in the hidden world. It would also be cool if you could train wild dragons. While buying things in the store, there should be an option where you could spend double the amount of gems as coin, because the majority of things in the store are bought using gems. Finally, I think that events should be easier to complete. For example, I’m doing the sumerheild event, but I might not finish it because you get so little Valka’s Notes. This crushes me, because I really liked the game and was praying I would finish the event. Buying Notes is out of the question, because, if you ask me, they are to expensive. I did all the combinations of Notes that would give me enough to do the event, and the smallest amount still cost $64. I love this game, but these are a few suggestions that i think would make it better to play.

### 4/5 — I luv this game😍, but needs some work to be honest😕.

*2021-06-22, version 3.16*

Ok, so I LOVE 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 how to train your dragon series and movies and once I learned about this I decided that I would get it. So it was not what I expected, I looked through it and it said nothing about online play and having to login. I love that you can have a adult dragon but then get a baby. The chat is annoying because if you say like “Hi I am 14 years old.” (This is only a example.) It will lock my chat for the day. Now usually you have to do it a few times before it will lock down but as you have the app longer you only have to do it once. Also it is really hard to get the gems so you can’t buy the adult or titan age up tokens or anything else. Also something common to many games, too many adds. I love that you can fight things and customize your character and dragon but you have to pay more gems to customize your dragon again after submitting. I also love that you can adventure. I even made my own few hide outs, now they give you a place but i have my own creative little places. I hope I get feed back from this. A few more things is that to do all this fun stuff you have to pay like 8.99 a month which isn’t as bad as other games but still and it will nonstop give you notifications about it and the member ship.😔 I hope you read this before buying the app and if you already have then we can agree on somethings. I hope you enjoy the game!

### 5/5 — Amazing game great work but you can add a lil more🙂

*2021-05-28, version 3.15.1*

I love this game I played it for years now I have moved on from it but got back to playing it some times a couple things I wanted to mention is one I wish there were more levels to level up to when I got to level 50 I reached the max level and it won’t allow anyone to go higher than 50 I was wondering if you could change that and and level going up to a hundred also I was wondering if you could make more! Quest I already did all the quest and after awhile I got bored so I wanted there to be more quest also can there be baby dragons that we can ride also I know you made the night lights but could you make more baby dragons that we could be able to ride that would be great one last thing that I want to mention is that there are some cyber bullies and they need to be out of this game I witnessed one with my friend they were blasting me with there dragon and they were saying bad words I recommend this game to people who love adventure dragons and cool quests

### 5/5 — Read this!!!

*2021-05-09, version 3.15.1*

Ok so at first I wasn’t so attracted at it I had so much other cool games! But then I watched a movie and I was like let’s try this out again. Ok so here it is. I already had made an account so I just resumed doing stuff on that. BUT then one day it said the game had to update and I lost my account 😔. Luckily I didn’t spend any money on it so 👍. I made a new account and it’s been good there are a lot of awesome dragons. Sometimes because this happened to me it kicked me out of my account and I was like o my gosh because I spent money on the account and so I logged back in and everything was fine. But it just comes to show it doesn’t have the best system I guess like I don’t know why I got kicked out I think it was a mistake I don’t know. Anyways another thing is buying gems is really tempting. So don’t go crazy on that. But besides those things it’s good but I have a suggestion, so for some quests not all you have to pay gems to continue like I saw a quest that cost 1250 gems which IS NOT cheap so please fix that if you could please thank you. And yeah so I hope you have fun with the game!

### 4/5 — Four stars until glitches get fixed

*2021-04-19, version 3.15.0*

When I try to chat most of the time it keeps saying that typing out curse words but I’m not and on several times I’ve seen four mini stars meaning it thinks I’m saying the F word but once I didn’t even have a single letter in the F word and I’ve never typed out a curse word in this game but it just keeps saying that I’m saying curse words but that’s bull and I bet that would count as a curse word but not because it’s part of the whole word but because it’s going to glitch out and there are several other glitches like not being able to mount your Dragon, your Dragon disappearing and several others once again I’m going to give it four stars until you fix those glitches and once you do I’m going to give you five stars 

Edit can you please start reading reviews I’ve gone through so many reviews and I haven’t seen a single developer response and I have seen views saying they had the same issue as me but they were from three years ago or more you should start reading reviews seriously I’ve seen other other developers respond to almost every review you haven’t responded to a single one but you probably won’t see this one because like I said before you don’t read reviews sorry for the long review but these are serious issues

### 5/5 — 5 stars, minor glitches

*2020-09-09, version 3.11.0*

I’m really bad at writing essays, but the title pretty much explains everything. There are some minor glitches, and most are easy to fix/get over (like glitches where all you have to do is close the game), but there is one glitch that almost makes me want to quit, and it’s not unique to SoD, either. I’ve seen it in many games. And it’s the chat glitch. I simply said, “25 gems from battle event” and it censored THAT. Like, I’m not trying to brag, certainly not trying to insult, and even more, I’VE ACTUALLY SEEN OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT. I take it very personally and it hurts my feelings very much. I almost want to delete my account and start over because of this. The game itself is definitely 5 stars and I play it all day. But the 35 or so dollars I spent on this very app might go to waste. I don’t have the problems some people do, like freezing, loading times (except for Thunder Run Racing) and crashing. If I run into a glitch, I close and reopen the app. Easy as that. All I’m worried about is losing 35 dollars and a bunch of cool dragons. Thanks for reading... and I wonder if this was actually 4 stars... oh well. Anyways, I don’t really have any good essay conclusions, so have a good day!

### 5/5 — Please read this if you still read these

*2020-08-16, version 3.10.1*

I don’t usually do reviews but I’ve done a lot on this game it’s a great game and I’ve don’t a review about the hidden world being free but night lights being able it disappear  plus about dramillions and you’ve only done the hidden world I mean please.. I would be content if you added this:   Okay I really really love the way that heather in the series can jump off something and land on windshear  please add something like a button when your jumping off a cliff or a mountain you can land on your dragon and maybe add a clan mode and you and your clan can find an empty island and make it your base like the series and everyone can have their own hut and the can design it like they want and their can be hunter ships to defeat and you could have a bed and clubhouse you own but too!  Oh of course I forgot! Astrid and stormfly can do this thing that I  love ❤️. So when stormfly is flying Astrid can lay on her back and just relax am I forgetting something? Oh yes! You could be able to have your own night terrors to protect the island and you could have islands with people like mala daugaur and vanihiem Bridges grappling hooks and things to connect the island thanks so much please add this is would be amazing 😉 that’s all thanks!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

### 4/5 — Love The game but few suggestions and I was reading The Reviews

*2020-04-14, version 3.6.0*

Ok first of all I live the game sooooo Much! But here’s one thing No Just No there’s no way that school of dragons should add Light fury and toothless to the one month membership But they should add breeding For all Dragons! Please do that also Please fix this bug In the Curse Of The Hob Gobbler I was doing the dragon tactics for it and when I made it to the end it Kicked me Out of the game! It constantly happens and Does not save my progress You  should make a “SaveMyProgressButton” also You should make clans To pay with Coins not gems Gems are so hard to get and Only a skilled Money Spending Brat would do that And Seriously Why on earth Did you make The “Dragon Palooza” So many gems how about 10,000? It sounds nice also There’s this weird bug that like every other day it signs me Out if my account And I’m Just So mad and have to re enter my password it’s So hard I don’t like it Just fix that for the Love Of Odin! And I’m still Really really mad about the Dragon Tactics thing fix it! Anyway That’s all Bye! Also friend Me my user is RavenCallTheReaper or RainTheDragonHealer! Also I Can’t continue into my quest Until you fix the Quest Thing that kicks me out! Bye Now!

### 5/5 — why glitchy teen dragon and why slow chat and why do I get kicked

*2020-04-14, version 3.6.0*

I love HTTYD but why do I get kicked it annoying cuz wen im trying to do something let’s say i want to hang out with my friends and it kicks me out. now that’s annoying. but wen I try to log back in it says “your time wut called out log in later”. I wuz not happy. and chat it’s very very slow. lets say this. u say something in chat. hours later it pops up on ur screen and that really gets annoying. so fix it plz. and wen I got my groncicle it wuz super glitchy it started to go invisible and wen I try to glide it starts to do weird stuff like fly in air and spin aground and I had no control over the dragon and in order to fix it wuz to have a flight suit. and the other glitch is on ground the teen dragon comes to and I don’t mean in a fun way. in order to fix this u press the mount button or change dragons if u go back to the teen groncicle or other teen dragon and it’s doing the same thing the best thing to do is log out and log back in. but the game is fun but on the next update plz do this and chat wen is NOT bad and groncicle is NOT bad. and wen I spell something wrong thats NOT bad.

### 5/5 — Really good App

*2020-04-07, version 3.6.0*

The app is really good but when people do dragon tactics on IOS it’s always lagging out the player the app is really good but it can have some renovations to the glitching out and problems having. I give it a 5 star rating but can use some more work to fix the bugs problems and struggles in the app so some of the developers should work on that while the others work on the in game status and abilities to it. Like I said really good game but just needs the better features and better option to also about my point of bugs and problems because in dragon tactics on IOS is kicked the player out of the app due to lag and the other problems within it all. So it can have some work due to bug features problems and glitches but all besides that the game is perfectly good and perfectly amazing. So keep up the great work game developers and keep up the great work and progress to this amazing game and to it all for all the good and hard work they have spent of their time to make this game and create it to be awesome and powerful and really good in general of it all.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2017-12-31, version 2.10.0*

School of dragons is an amazing game that you’d want to play for hours. I myself have already put countless hours into this game. However to those of you seeking a fun game for the iPhone I would not recommend this app. I’ve already encountered many bugs. One bug being a character in the game got stuck. This wouldn’t normally be a big deal but this character had my next important quest request. When you’d go to click on her she’d bug out and crash your game. She was also still stuck, so you couldn’t complete her current quest either. Another big downside to this game is the purchases. You are almost required to pay money to get anywhere in this game. Then, when you finally do hand over the dollar bills it ends up glitching. I tried to purchase some gems in the game and it gave me the gems, but then when I went to buy something with them it ended up deleting them. That’s ten bucks I’m never getting back! I also could not find anywhere to go to report these errors besides the forums page. Now that’s also a bit of a hassle. You have to have a forums account to be able to post on the forums. Once you make a forums account a forums admin then has to activate your account. I applied for one and it’s been five days since and still no reply. I honestly wish I could give a better review but sadly as I’ve had little success in reporting these errors my review shall remain negative.

### 2/5 — Very pay-to-win

*2022-07-21, version 3.25.0*

If you can’t get the membership, it’s going to be hard to find stuff to do considering the base game doesn’t have much to it and all the expansions cost a lot of gems that are already hard to come by (for reference: the game lets you get 10 gems by watching an ad twice a day. Each expansions is around 1000 gems to buy if you aren’t a member. Unless you get lucky with the battle system and have the time to do it several times every day, it’s going to take almost 2 months to earn enough gems to buy one single expansion). 

In my case, I didn’t want to do this so I bought the 3 month membership. With that tier, you get access to both toothless and the light fury. What they don’t tell you is that when your membership runs out, you can no longer use either of them. They’re still in your list of dragons taking up space but if you click on them, the game prompts you to renew your membership to use them again. Why should I bother buying them if I can’t even use them afterwords? I would understand if it was locking their levels or not allowing you to use them in battles but it’s incredibly annoying to have two very fast dragons at lvl 25 (takes a long time to get them that strong) and I can’t even use them to get around.

### 2/5 — There are some bugs that need to be fixed!

*2020-05-03, version 3.6.0*

I think this is a fun game, but a couple of bugs are restricting me. One of them is I can’t complete the stable tutorial, the game freezes up whenever I try, causing me to have to get off. Another bug is whenever I try to collect anything from dragon tactics, it won’t let me. I’ve tried multiple times as a guest and a player with an account, but it won’t let me. Besides these two things, the game is my favorite game ever. Even more than Minecraft.
 
A long time later -
Now I have another bug, now dragon tactics is not even alowing me to end it and save my progress, I don’t know how many awesome things that I lost because it would not load. Please fix the stable bugs, I have a dragon that is done hatching but I can’t hatch it because of the bugs. I need to put the other egg down and start rasing my baby dragon, the dragon stables need to be cheaper, and why does everything cool have to be purchased with gems or real money!!! I think that you can sell the eggs you from farming, at the same price you bought them! When you buy 1 egg, it costs 9 gems. When you sell 5 eggs, you get ~ 100 coins, come on! I am starting to consider deleting the app so I can have more room, please fix all bugs! :(

### 2/5 — Please help

*2019-07-13, version 3.1.0*

Ok so I was trying to find someone because they said I could see their titan thunderdrum and I typed in his letter part of the players name sent it then typed in the number part and I got flagged by the headmaster and this kind of thing happend a lot before an example is that I was trying ask my friend if they wanted to play fireball frenzy and I got a warning but back to the thunderdrum one so because this happend many times before I got locked out of the chat for about an hour. Secondly you should add side missions because I have done everything I can without expansions so I’m stuck coming in for my consecutive day rewards. Thirdly you need to decrease the prices of the expansions and dragon eggs because 1200 gems for an expansion and 750 for a dragon egg is ridiculous. Fourthly I agree with some of the other ideas like a trading post for trading coins to gems and gems to coins. My fith recommendation is to have all players on the same server because somebody else and I were trying to meet up so we could be friends and we tried everything until someone eventually told us we on different servers and so we couldn’t be friends. My sixth recommendation is that there’s a purple cave on the map I think I know where it is but it is boarded up so if you could fix that it’d be great

### 2/5 — Glitchy, slow, and frequent crashing

*2018-07-20, version 2.12.0*

As the description says, the game is glitchy, slow, and has frequent crashes. I’ve been stuck on the same two quests for about a week without clearing them despite having completed the requirements at least five times on each. There is a constant lag no matter how new your device is, laptop or mobile. Because of the lag there is frequent crashing, including in battles, battle events and during quest scenes. The dragons and customizations are cool aside from the fact that there aren’t many natural colors to chose from on the color bar (ex. No greys and only medium to dark browns. No muted colors like olive greens and light browns and what not), and there are no undo or redo buttons for color customizations. So if you decide to change your dragon’s color and you decide you like the standard colors better, you’re out of luck. The game is pretty much pay to play, as there are very few and very boring non member quests. Summed up, it’s a fun game, if you have the money for a membership and the patience of a saint. All in all, improvements are needed. Adding more servers will probably help as well as minor improvements, like adding more colors, having the option to trade with others, and selling goods. PS- cut down on the filtered words. It’s excessive how much you can’t say, including some dragon names, like woolly howl and scauldron.

### 2/5 — 2.12.0 update

*2018-06-30, version 2.12.0*

I play this game on a mobile device and I love playing it that way along with saying that I love the game, but ever since the most recent 2.12.0 update everything on the game of mine has been slowed down and my game seems to crash more often then it had before this update. Before this update my game would not crash as often as it does now, maybe every so often but not as much as now. In example... I could be in the middle of a battle event and my game will unexpectedly quit on me or even before the battle begins it will unexpectedly quit. The most often time when the SoD game quits on me is around the time of battle events, that goes for the game lag as well where it happens most often when I am in between a battle event or before a battle event. 
Although those are my two main problems and don’t seem to have any other problems with the game, it is a major problem for me because I can no longer enjoy the School of Dragons game I used to enjoy very much because of how often the game lag and unexpected game quitting happens.
If the creators could please fix this game lag and unexpected game quitting I would highly appreciate it very much for me and maybe the rest of the other gamers who play this game as well as me who seem to have the same problem.

### 3/5 — Nightlight quests

*2021-07-28, version 3.17*

Hi so the new quests.. you can only do if your a member!!! Super annoying because I really want to be able to get the nightlights! As grownups I begged my parents at Christmas to get the nightlights I thought I’d be able to grow them up then but I couldn’t. i play school of dragons so much but this is so annoying and I can’t get membership please fix this. Im losing motivation in the game and im not sure about this game anymore. But this is based off of my favorite movies and episodes I also really wish I could get at least one chance to explore the other part of the hidden world which I need to go there to do the quests! Ive spent like 100 dollars in the game! So I’d either like a refund or this thing fixed!

Otherwise this is an ok game I do enjoy just flying around and seeing things and the reason I rate this what I did is because of bugs, super annoying chat (like I try to role play with friends and all I get is blocked if I say something that isn’t “Hi” then sometimes even then! (Also a first person view would be great) (also in my role plays I don’t say anything inappropriate or anything but role plays are my FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN GAMES) but anyway PLEASE FIX THE NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPLORE AND PLEASE ALLOW MORE FREEDOM DURING EVENTS LIKE FIX THE QUEST!!! I WANT TO SEE THE ADULT NIGHTLIGHTS AND HAVE ONE!!! I HAVE A BABY BUT P L E A S E! I’D PAY A TINY BIT MORE FOR ONE BUT only a TINY bit MORE!! So PLeaSE!! :(

### 3/5 — Flaws

*2019-05-09, version 3.0.0*

I really love this game , I play it everyday , for a long time I wasn’t going to buy a membership because I couldn’t bring myself to spend real money on a video game . However , I finally did and bought the 3 month membership, at first it was great , I had Toothless and the light fury along with other great things . But 2 months into the membership which I don’t intend to redeem , I am finding that good quests are getting harder to receive, I am getting very little quests .  This is a great game that also has a lot of glitches . One thing I think would be great is that once a membership is bought YOU SHOULD NOT have to buy it again , you should be able to keep everything that was unlocked , islands , Toothless , light fury etc . Nobody should have to spend their hard earned money on a video game . I understand that it is by choice , a choice which I made , but for those who really can’t afford to pay for a membership should not be limited to what they can do within the game , eventually they will get tired of it and delete the game all together because they have nothing new to do since they are so limited . New quest should be something unlocked frequently that way we don’t open the game looking to have fun but find ourselves not being able to do anything but walk/ fly around .

### 3/5 — The. Chat. Filter. Needs. Fixed. ASAP.

*2018-11-14, version 2.14.0*

I absolutely love the idea of this game. Based off of DreamWorks How To Train Your Dragon franchise+series, you get to be your own Viking, and raise your own dragons alongside you with fun quests! But one of the problems is that the access charge is overpriced. As a player myself, I have not spent a single dime on this game yet. I have reached a point where I have no quests, 2 adult dragons and one baby that I cannot place in a nest due to the fact that I don’t have another one, and can’t get another one. I think that there should constantly be new quests for all players. That way, even for people who haven’t spent money on this game yet, they can gradually make progress (not too long, but still gradually) towards their goal without having to buy anything. 

Here’s the big issue.

The chat is normally inactive most of the time— Unless there’s a public server full of gossip, online dating, and drama. What’s the problem though? The chat filter is WAY TOO SENSITIVE. I completely respect the fact that you want to keep everyone safe and friendly as possible, especially on a game that a lot of more naive children play (as in innocent)— But every single day I go on the game, I’ll eventually say something perfectly fine in the chat, and it’s blocked, and then I’ll try to say what I was going to say again, except being more careful; but then before I know it, I’m once again suspended from the chat for 23 hours. This needs to be fixed!

### 4/5 — My review

*2023-06-18*

I absolutely love this game I literally live to the game i played it for so long since I was little 😍😍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 but the game glitches a lot like I mean I used to have to play a different game for a while to wait for the game to continue working amazing but sadly I’m quitting the game because it removed most of my dragons that I worked so hard on idk if it’s because I didn’t put my password in or something but I already deleted it and I’m very sad I worked very hard to get to this point but one day I joined it and I only had one of my dragons I was completely confused and I wasn’t convinced and thought it was another one of those glitches so I’ll just come back later but no I only had my deadlynatter it got rid of my lava dragon leaf flower idk it has several heads stone dragon like I can’t even no how much I still wasn’t completely convinced but my heart was breaking starting to be more and more convinced and confused and finally I knew they were gone my heart was crushed way more crushed that it’s gone now all my progress like I literally spent my money it cost very much for a lot of things I still remember the old times when people would wait for the ship to come on the rock and attack it it was fun so I recommend playing unless you hate glitches and loosing your stuff 😇🥲

### 5/5 — The Best Game Ever, I MEAN IT!!!!!

*2023-04-29*

This game is the best, I’ve been playing it for almost 4 years now, I’m a pro. I have like a billion dragons on it and I have a unique and special bond with each and every one of them. On School of Dragons or SoD you can ride your dragons around a bunch of different maps, play dragon tactics, race with your glorious beasts, complete quests, participate in battles and fun events, and make so many friends. You can also join a clan and have fun adventures with your dragons and friends. This is also a great Role play game for some reason, but very few people Role play on it. It has pretty safe chat filters and safety features that keep your child from learning bad things. Speaking of learning, this game is a great influence on your child’s learning experience, you can learn science, reading (from reading the quests), and about dragons, of course! A few problems are, there are a few glitches and it sometimes will chat ban you if you say wrong things 3 times in a row. I honestly rate this for ages 4+, just like the age rating says. But parents, remember, there are some chat glitches and some people can swear or cuss on it, take note of that. My time here is done, I’m sorry for the very long rating, this game is the best!

### 5/5 — The night light’s and free dragon stables

*2023-01-30, version 3.28.0*

I really want to get night lights but I can’t and I really want to get them because they’re so fast right and probably I wish I really had them I really want all of them really but that is kind a cool and I want fee Dragon stables and dragon stable quest I just wish so much for a nightlight dragon but I never got them into purchase for the islands I wish they would just purchase them with coins and not a lot of gems because I really want to go to the hidden world and see all the dragons in the hidden world but I can never not until I can get a lot of gems but I never got a lot of gems I don’t see that happening me going to the hidden world I don’t see that I really wish I could just go in the hidden world and see nightlight dragon is playing around and have a nightlight dragon I wish that they would let us text in there too cause it’s just boring because we can’t tell with me what we feel I just want to have a night like dragons in feet dragon stables please I need nightlight dragon please change the upgrade

### 5/5 — Things to make the game more fun

*2022-12-30, version 3.28.0*

It’s a fun game but I have a few complaints about it: first thing is when you are flying up and down you should be able to fly straight up and down. Second thing is when you are using the flight suite you should be able to also fly straight down and if you get enough speed you should be able to fly up just like Hiccup does in the show. Third when you are flying in the flight suite you should have the same controls as you flying your dragon. Fourth you should get a free Toothless when you join for the first time and the expansions should be purchased with gold that way people that can’t afford the membership can do them please do all of this so I can enjoy the game more and last when the battle event is you should be able to get captured and where is Hiccup after the Battle for the edge he just disappeared and if you have a Night Light or Toothless or the Light fury you should be able to go invisible by holding down the fire button for a certain amount of time and release it to go invisible. There are also a lot of bugs in the game like anytime I register in the game a few weeks or more it just randomly restarts my game and progress please fix this issue immediately

### 5/5 — Love the game but could be better

*2022-12-14, version 3.27.0*

This game is AMAZING and it is my favorite game! That’s why I gave it five stars, but as much as I love this game there are some problems. First of all, I am quickly going to say it is so COOL that you can move around and have quests. But about the quests, there can sometimes be errors or glitches. For example, it will say “find the note in the wilderness” but there’s no note to find. Second of all, for ever big quest, you have to buy an island, which is very annoying. The islands are locked, and to get them you have to pay gems or buy membership. You almost NEVER have 1200 gems to pay for the island, so you have to pay 10 dollars for membership. But that’s only for one month of membership, and it doesn’t give you much, so you end up paying 25 dollars for three months of member ship and get two free dragons just to complete a quest. Anyway, the quests are actually really fun, and it seems like the quests never end! But, sadly, they do. I ran out of quests on the game, and there isn’t anything to do now but go farming. (The game has farming, and it’s really fun! Things for the farm don’t cost much!) There are events often, same ones every year, and those give you quests, but still, they aren’t many quests. But still, this game is AMAZING AND AMAZING AND AMAZING! I would totally recommend it, even with all the errors with the quests.

### 5/5 — I love this but…

*2022-07-22, version 3.25.0*

So yeah this is a pretty good game it’s fun to play but I do agree that it is kind of laggy but I have noticed said that has been fixed overtime and now basically I only have a couple of complaints I’ve deleted it a couple of times for storage reasons and now I can’t re-download it I don’t understand why I don’t know if it’s a problem with my thing or something that has to do with the app I just thought I should mention it I like how the dragon choices are kept to a minimum so there’s not too many you have to choose from I do kind of miss the old quiz you have to take to see the type of dragon you’d like to me I love the new beginning don’t get me wrong but I kind of missed that one little bit for the dragon hatchery I think that you should’ve kept that it’s really fun part of it also whenever I try to do the Dragon stables thing was fish legs it always lags and I have to like delete the game and re-download it so that I can move on it’s pretty annoying I can’t be honest I don’t mean to sound rude just now it is not in the worlds best of moods in this game usually helps me cope with that but it has been coming to my attention with this change of mood the little things I didn’t bug me before but now do I hope you can figure it out soon love your game though good job developers!!!🙂

### 5/5 — loved this game growing up!

*2022-06-18, version 3.24.0*

I remember creating my account the day this game came out and being so excited to own my pet dragon and interact with my favorite httyd characters! I’m one of the few OG players out there, and even now i’m still coming back this this amazing game, and boy has it changed in the past couple of years! definitely a lot less players than there used to be, and the game alone is definitely lacking in new quests (if you’ve gotten to the point where i am) beginners, however, definitely have a ton of quests and things to do! also, the *major* updates don’t seem to be coming as often as they used to, but it’s always super fun to play this game during the holidays and getting to see all the cool decorations throughout the game! I definitely recommend this game to any how to train your dragon lovers out there because you get to not only adopt and take care/customize your dragon, but interact with your favorite lovable characters and complete quests for them!!! don’t think, just download, you won’t be disappointed :)

### 5/5 — Okay this game is ✨amazing✨ but....

*2021-11-23, version 3.20.0*

I absolutely love 💖 this game! But I do wish that I could get rid of the dragons I don't want, like sell them to get gems or something because I have many baby gronckles and monstrous nightmares that I got from chests and I don't want them. I think we should also be able to sell clothes or just items in general. I also think this game is being a little unfair to non members. I mean, I get that members should have a few perks but this game has so many things that members get. They get discounts on everything and they get free expansions and they get free stables and gems and dragon eggs once a month. It would be fine if they just got small discounts and free stables and dragon eggs and gems once a month but I don't think they should get free expansions. Maybe a small discount on the expansions but not free. Also I would really like it if you didn't have to play the night light event quests to age up your night light. I saved up for two whole months just to buy a night light and then I saved up and bought an adult age up only to find out that you could only get an adult night light if you played the event quests which won't happen for another year!! :( 
Don't get me wrong, I love this game so much, but I do think it could use some improvements/fixes. Love this game so much! I definitely recommend it

### 5/5 — Amazing !

*2021-11-06, version 3.19.2*

This game is totally worth getting, it’s so fun and there’s so many adventures! I love this game like a lot so far, I just wish that the stables weren’t so expensive because I just got this egg that I really want to hatch but I don’t know which stable it needs and I don’t have enough gems I also wish they would make it so you can get rid of the the dragons you don’t want because I have a dragon that I don’t really like and I would like to get rid of it so I can have an open stall so I can have another dragon, here’s some more things you can do to make the game better, you can make the graphics a little better but if not there still good you should make it so we can have more than two dragons at once with out  having to buy another expensive stable. Thank you for making this game!!!

This is an updated review: 
Hi again! I still am loving this game!!! The makers worked so hard and were so creative!! You guys again have seriously out done yourself’s !! Just a few things to add to make this game better, so the new dragons look cool and realistic but the first dragons they made don’t look as good and I get that this is an old game but they should also work in the animation on the old dragons also, I think they should also add some emotes our dragons and avatars can do, again great job making this game!!!! Just please add a little more!!! 😁

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!

*2021-10-22, version 3.19.0*

Ok first of all this game is amazing I currently have DART the nightlight! She is my fave! 😍 
And I really love that the dragons follow u it’s adorable! But I only have 1 complaint first off I don’t understand why the chat filter restricts me whenever I say something perfectly fine like for example “I have 600 gems” and then it will restrict me from using the chat for 24 hours or it will give me a warning. But other than that I love the game! And also I have one more request I would LOVE for there to be a TRADING system! I really want to be able to trade with other players, and I know this has been a request amount other players for a long time now! So please look into it and consider this request! And one more thing for real this time though 😅. PLEASE make a system where u can SELL EGGS because I currently have SOO many eggs in my backpack and many of them are DUPLACATES! So please think about adding a TRADING feature and/or a SELLING stuff feature PLEASE! Other than that really GREAT game! Thank u for going through all the work to make this game! IT IS AMAZING!

### 5/5 — Best game ever!!! But a few things to make it beder

*2021-09-18, version 3.18.0*

I love this game 😍but there are a couple suggestions about what dragons 🐉they could add in see I am very good at this game I pay money to get dragons and I just got all three night lights and age them up it was hard and a couple suggestions about the event first it’s very difficult to get  notes without paying Second the event was really long which I liked and the nightlight are super cool and you made me feel like they were actually going to add a fourth movie see I am a super fan of how to train your Dragon I watched all the series except for a couple that I have to pay for but I won’t and I’m waiting for them to be free but I’ve seen all the movies and shows I have almost all the games it’s truly the best third very very hard to get gems but it’s worth it when you buy something with the germs hope you love the game as much as I do!👍🏻 oh and one last thing they could add in more dragons from the series and the shows but I love that they do hopefully you add in some new dragons hope you love the game as much as I do thank you!!🤗😋😍😄🦎🐉
