### 4/5 — Me encanta

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.36661*

Genial

### 3/5 — Great game, bad customer service

*2026-08-13, version 1.3.36581*

Been playing this game for about a month and really enjoy it. I’ve made a few purchases through the game which was fine . I had an unexpected charge show up on my Apple account so I contacted Apple to look into it. Apple refunded the money and I was then suspended from the game. I reached out like the app said and they said in order to get the game restored I have to send them 9.99 through PayPal because of payment reversal. It sucked but I was like whatever I sent it. They tell me they received it but a second payment was now required of 6.99 (now I’m feeling like something is going but I want to play this stupid game) so I stupidly send it. My suspension has not been lifted and Ive been dealing with this for now close to 2 weeks. I highly recommend not making any in app purchases and hopefully you don’t have to deal with customer service should something occur. I’ll keep this review updated if progress is made.

Update 
A few days after review was made my game has been unsuspended and working fine. I will not make in app purchases and hope I don’t have to deal with customer service again. I have altered my 1 star rating to 3 because the game itself is very fun .

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.36032*

Loving this game

### 5/5 — Best Mobile Farming Game

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.36032*

Few games have genuinely piqued my interest in mobile but this game heavily reminds me of my favorite game on console. Coral Island, at least with the farming aspects.

And if you enjoy working alongside others then you will LOVE the guild aspect of the game.

10/10 would recommend

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-01, version 1.3.36032*

Good

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-07-26, version 1.3.36032*

I love playing this game

### 2/5 — 5 hours to process items is ridiculous

*2026-07-25, version 1.3.36032*

For the first hour or so I enjoyed this game, but it gets boring really quickly as it takes far too long for necessary items to process (5 hours for feathers, iron, cotton etc really?!). I refuse to spend a small fortune just to level up. The storyline is OK, but takes too long to progress as everything else takes so long to generate. It’s a shame, as this could be a really good popular game for me and my friends but the hard push to get people to spend a fortune on micro transactions is a tad greedy and far too obvious.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.36032*

Perfect distraction

### 5/5 — Pain is time

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.35988*

Hukkkk

### 4/5 — Cute game, diverse, challenging but…

*2026-07-21, version 1.3.35648*

Overall great game, addition of plantation farms…yeah wondering what agenda is being pushed with that.

### 4/5 — Easy progression

*2026-07-20, version 1.3.35648*

It’s fun and enjoyable, easy to progress so far, (on level 12) :)

### 1/5 — it was okay for a while

*2026-08-04, version 1.3.36032*

I played the game study for nine months hit level 51 leader of my group I played the game nonstop I just deleted the game and got bored of it plus there’s nothing really new to do. You’re just collecting resources all day especially with the recent update. It was so dumb. I spent so many gems and you get very little in return. The game is a money grab they want you to spend so much money and the gyms don’t even do anything. I’m looking for a different game now.

### 1/5 — Very buggy after latest update

*2026-07-31, version 1.3.36032*

I enjoyed this game until the last iPad update. Now it crashes after about 10 minutes of play. Tapping to harvest crops isn’t responsive. Ads freeze up. I’m on a 2-month old iPad and don’t have problems with any other app. It’s just been since this last upgrade. 

Customer service is terrible when loyalty awards and offerwall gems are missing. You click on support to make a claim and they tell you what they need but there is no way to get the information to them. They have to email you a link. It’s been a week since I provided my email address and they have yet to respond. Clicking on the support link through the App Store is a similar waste of time. It takes me to a page where there is no obvious way to get support. 

If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t play this game. I’ve invested a lot of time in it and some money. I enjoy the people in my guild, but the instability of the game and lack of customer support is wearing me out. The ads just get longer and longer and you have to  multiple clicks to work through the ads.

EDITED: it’s been over a month and still no contact from customer support.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-31, version 1.3.36032*

Won’t even load past the loading screen been sitting here for 5 minutes

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.36032*

When you get a refund because they double charge you, they’ll suspend your account and tell you that your only option is to pay them money you don’t owe them. This game not worth all that.

### 1/5 — UPDATE

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.36032*

My app is frozen!!! I love the game but it freezes on the new animal sanctuary now. HELLLPPP

### 1/5 — flaws

*2026-07-14, version 1.3.35648*

as fun as this game should be it isn’t events are made so impossible to do an in short or long periods of time that you never complete them back-to-back major events that you do with your clan, make you constantly have to spend too much time on the game in essence unless you have absolutely nothing to do and you have tons of friends this game is a waste

### 1/5 — AWFUL COOKING EVENT

*2026-07-13, version 1.3.35648*

This cooking event is on another level of bad. First off is very difficult to progress through the levels, and second off it givea you a quick option to continue to keep your streak going and that makes it super easy to accidentally spend your jewels and when you actually spend 100 jewels to keep going that no where nears helps you get further. This game isn’t bad but this event is so bad it needs to be gone forever. HORRIBLE!!!

### 1/5 — 최근 패치 적용 후 접속이 안돼요.

*2026-06-26*

패치 후 PC에서는 접속이 잘 되는데 아이폰에서는 여전히 접속 불가 입니다. 47%에서 멈춰있어요. 행결방법좀 안내해 주세요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — jeux

jeux amusants et intéressants

### 5/5 — An upgrade?

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.36661*

I don’t know if your company takes suggestions and implements them into your games. 

One suggestion I have is for the game Sunshine Island.
My fiancé and I both play the game and we love it. However, my suggestion would be to add an option to give or sell items to people you are friends with to help out with the growth of their progress. Or at least and option to be able to sell items that others need across the platform in an open trade place built into the game. A community market to trade or sell. I believe this could help bring in more people to play Sunshine Island. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
