I download it every few years and play it through again. The artwork is lovely, the design elements are fun, and it’s exciting to see how the plants change as they grow. But it’s important to note that the “coming soon” elements are never coming. There aren’t any events, there aren’t any more plant collections, this is it. It’s been years without any updates. It’s too bad, I wish they’d bring the original artist back and expand the game. ### 4/5 — Great game, so many ads *2026-07-16, version 1.35* I mean, I get it, the makers have to make money somehow, but it’s after every decision made; on top of a banner ad constantly going at the bottom and the bird constantly flying in. Again, ads are fine, but this is way too much. It ruins the relaxing mood the game is trying to promote. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-05, version 1.35* I understand that ads are necessary to support the game financially, but there are simply too many of them, and they appear in so many different forms that they become frustrating. Some ads are so long that you forget you were even playing a game in the first place! In my opinion, both the frequency and the length of the ads are excessive and seriously hurt the overall experience. ### 4/5 — New worlds *2026-07-04, version 1.35* The game is great but it feels like we have been waiting for a long time on a new world ### 3/5 — Annoying ad button *2026-06-22, version 1.35* This game is great, but when upgrading plants, the game will sneakily replace the button with an ad button that forces you to watch an ad, even after paying for no ads. Please change this ### 3/5 — Wouldn’t play unless you plan to pay for no ads *2026-06-21, version 1.35* Ads are just ridiculous. I get it, it’s whatever. But they have tiny, mini skip buttons that make viewing and closing difficult to do, and every interaction is basically a choice between ad or no ad, and even if you hit no ad, for the smaller reward, you still watch an ad. Might as well always do the 3x payout ad option because even if you don’t, it still forces you to watch the ad. ### 3/5 — An honest review. *2026-06-19, version 1.35* I’ve played the game on and off for years now. On the brink of leveling up to one thousand now. The “new worlds coming soon” is just a feature to keep people hoping for new content. Spoiler: There will never be new content. The ads… if you play casually, can be unbearable. There truly is a stupid amount of ads. Play the game if you don’t mind blowing 5hours total and don’t mind ads. Few of us will be waiting for new content that will never come. But for the old version of this game… it still earns its spot on my home screen. ### 3/5 — Wish they would finish building the game *2026-06-11, version 1.35* 3.5 I like this game but it has other worlds/event coming soon forever. Like they just gave up on the game. Unless there’s something I’m missing. ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-06-11, version 1.35* When I press to play adds it doesn’t work other than that is fine ### 5/5 — Игра топ *2026-06-11* Игра хорошая , но было бы классно если в игре сделают хоть какую то часть кристаллов доступной без доната🙏🏻❤️ И уважаемые разработчики сделайте пожалуйста новые уровни ! Мы игроки очень этого ждем!♥️😊 ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-06-11, version 1.35* Ads every 5-10 minutes ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-06-08, version 1.35* More consistent and organized TapTapFish! Very fun! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-06-07, version 1.35* It’s calming and relaxing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-31, version 1.35* This game is just an ad farm. ### 1/5 — Never Updates *2026-08-30, version 1.35* Never updates ever ### 1/5 — all idle games are idols to the wrong god *2026-08-27, version 1.35* all idle games are idols to the wrong god ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-17, version 1.35* I downloaded this game and immediately the ads started. Can’t play without misclicking an ad. Unplayable. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-14, version 1.35* It doesn’t have a monster in the game that doesn’t have a Monstera is trash so it’s trash ### 1/5 — So many ads it’s insane *2026-06-11, version 1.35* There’s an ad every 30 seconds no joke. And they’re long, some of them make you wait a minute. Sad because I like the game itself but omg. The ads are so horrible. Just greedy. ### 1/5 — The ads kill this game *2026-05-29, version 1.35* i get 2 options to level up, 1 is to watch an ad for more oxygen or money and 1 is to just level up, its funny how just trying to play the game without clicking the ad button STILL PLAYS AN AD! i watch more ads than playing the actual game 1/5 ### 1/5 — Oppressive amount of unskippable ads *2026-05-14, version 1.35* I was excited to play this game, but the amount of forced unskippable ads is overwhelming. I feel like I spent as much time watching ads as playing the game in my first 4 minutes. A shame, because I love the idea and aesthetic, but the lack of respect for my time and patience is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Always adds *2026-05-04, version 1.35* ads everywhere!! You cant do anything, clicker game where you have to buy upgrades for each plant but every upagrade a plant, you have to wait or watch an add to buy the next one!! Its like if you had to wait 10sec everytime to buy a cursor in cookie clicker when you buy just one.. waste of time ### 1/5 — Фу, реклама *2026-04-28* Раньше так любила эту игру. Сейчас пару горшков посадила и уже устала от нее. Это кошмар а не реклама! И закрыть ее практически невозможно ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kinda nostalgic *2026-08-06, version 1.35* When I was younger I used to play this game and not really understand the idea of it but now I’m older and it feels a bit nostalgic because of that past experience xx ### 5/5 — So good *2026-08-04, version 1.35* This game was so fun in my car ride I definitely get it if i were you ### 5/5 — Plants are cool *2026-08-02, version 1.35* I like plants and I always accidentally kill my plants at home so having online fake ones are much better ### 5/5 — DARK MODE NEEDED *2026-07-26, version 1.35* A way to make the general UI darker would be an amazing upgrade. Maybe colored themes orange/red/purple so on could make the game feel a lot more personalized and easier on the eyes. The bright white can be sometime aggressive to look at! ### 5/5 — Самая лучшая *2026-07-25, version 1.35* Лучшая игра на свете чтобы не давали мне рекламу ### 5/5 — Too easy *2026-07-22, version 1.35* 1k takes 1 nanosecond ### 5/5 — I just have a few ideas. *2026-07-22, version 1.35* I thought maybe like more flowers, marigolds, sunflowers, moonflowers, or orchids, plus for Halloween you could do the corpse flower or bleeding heart flower. And you could do a Skelton flower because when they get wet their petals become transparent, so they could go slightly see through when you use the watering can. Roses on valentines day, maybe four leaf clovers on saint Patrick’s. and maybe banzais or spider plants. Idk, just ideas. This is a great game though, love it! ### 5/5 — Grind game *2026-07-08, version 1.35* it takes a awhile to get the plants which is good and makes it more fun to collect ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-06-23, version 1.35* It’s a nice relaxing game. It doesn’t cost any money. It does involve a lot of tapping, but if you like plants and making progress through time, this is a good game. I like how the plants get bigger the more you level them up! ### 5/5 — Love the game so muchhhh *2026-06-19, version 1.35* I’m on like my 3rd play through of the game and I’m finding a ton of enjoyment in watching the different stages of growth and the attention to detail put into every single plant! I can’t wait to see what the next plants added will be! (Pls say the coming soon is actually coming soon) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
