Game worked fine before this issue. ### 2/5 — Won’t work on iOS *2022-12-14, version 1.2.140414* I really want to try this game out but I really can’t because it is not allowed on iOS. please make it to where iOS can in joy the game aswell please. ### 2/5 — I see a reoccurring theme… *2022-06-23, version 1.2.140414* Love the board game! The app doesn’t hold up. I consistently roll low harvests and the in game stats prove it. Consistently land on half harvests and I set a PR of hurting my back 3 times in a row and PR of 2nd week of February of 5 times in a row. I can usually predict the exact space I will land on 60-70 percent of the time. ### 3/5 — Have to pay again? *2021-07-21* Really love this game. Have since I was a kid and was excited to see it in the App Store. Super bummed I have to pay for it again just to get the updated version that works with my phone **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working. The new version can be found here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-farming-game-3d/id1572900782 I decided to do it as a completely separate app so people could still play the old version on old devices if they chose to (and the new version ended up taking more time to create than all previous versions combined). If you don't want to pay for a the new version, just send me an email at rrtenz@gmail.com and I will send you a promo code so you can get the new version for free. ### 4/5 — Love, but needs updated *2021-07-01* Our family loves playing this game, but it does need an update to work with the iPad now. Hoping hat gets taken care of quickly so we can keep playing it! **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working.

No longer works with current iOS. ### 4/5 — Update..... *2021-06-13* Is there any news on when the update is gonna come out? I enjoy the game, but it could definitely use some upgrades. **Developer response:** Sorry for the delayed response.

It has always been one of my favorite boardgames. However, the app game is not fun. The human player almost never wins. Most of the “random” dice rolls for the human player somehow end up 3 and under most of the time. Hardly ever get good OTB cards, and the number of negative Farmers Fate cards are plentiful and very common. Not to mention the human player’s dice rolls to move the game marker are weighted to land on negative spaces most of the time. Example I consistently get sent back to the 2nd week of February multiple times. I more often than not land on your harvest is halved spaces. I land on pay spaces more often than not. It’s like the “random” dice generation software is purposely weighted against the human player. This could be a great game if the programmers would fix the dice roll generator to give the same odds to both humans and the computer players. **Developer response:** Sorry you had a bad experience with the game. The dice rolls really are completely random...sometimes the dice just don't go your way. I hope you give it another try. Also, an update will be available soon...I'm hoping in less than a month. It will have a new 3D look. ### 2/5 — Terribly slanted coding *2020-04-13* I grew up playing this game with my family. Unfortunately this game is missing some of the rules that make it most fun, like that if you own equipment you get rent, and the ability to customize the rules that is in the original instructions. Most frustrating, is that the coding is written so that the computer ALWAYS wins! I’d be equally bored if it was too easy, but really???? ### 2/5 — Wasted potential *2019-04-11* The original board game is a lot of fun, but this version has nothing but bugs and sloppy programming. Bots always roll a 4,5, or 6 when harvesting, meanwhile I roll a 2 and get hit with 15k worth of “fertilizer fees” for the 5th time this year. Human players can hardly land on an OTB, but the computer player has 45 acres of fruit and makes 100k each harvest. No, I don’t want the OTB Rattlesnake ridge because I ALREADY OWN IT. This game had a chance to do the original justice, but they blew it with a bad version of a great game. ### 3/5 — Bug fixes *2017-03-26* I will update my review when the bugs are fixed. The biggest thing is when I roll a 5 and go to collect my harvest check it'll change it to something less. Once this is fixed I'll update my review. I like this game and enjoy playing, but only when it's fair and works right. ### 2/5 — Please do an update *2017-02-27, version 1.2.140414* As stated before...the dice rolls are not random, I usually roll 4 and under 90% of the time when the computer rolls 4 and up. Need to be able to make some house rules like must be out of debt to be able to win. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why is it on the App Store if it didn’t work!!! *2024-01-09, version 1.2.140414* Refund please I didn’t know it won’t work if it’s literally on the App Store!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work with IOS 16.6 *2023-09-04, version 1.2.140414* WARNING!! I bought this game on my iPhone and it is not comparable with my software version. I will update this review if it changes but I may request a refund. Do not buy if your iOS is 16.or newer ### 1/5 — Needs an update won’t work on my phone *2022-02-09, version 1.2.140414* Doesn’t work needs an update ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Needs to be updated *2021-10-24* I bought the board game when I was a kid. I had this on my kindle. Just got my iPad and wanted this game. It needs to be updated. Can’t work with the current iOS so basically it’s useless. Don’t buy on the iPad. Go buy the board game. This game is worth playing. So disappointed that it just needs to be updated. **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working. The new version can be found here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-farming-game-3d/id1572900782 I decided to do it as a completely separate app so people could still play the old version on old devices if they chose to (and the new version ended up taking more time to create than all previous versions combined).

Developer has not updated in over a month and not sure if they will at this point ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-07-13, version 1.2.140414* Bought it it but won’t download because the app hasn’t been updated to work with current version of iOS. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work With iOS 14.6 *2021-06-29, version 1.2.140414* Bought and downloaded but can’t play because it doesn’t work with this version of iOS software… ### 1/5 — Out of date *2021-05-10, version 1.2.140414* I really deeply want to play the farming game on ios but it says that the developer needs to update the app. I payed for it but it's useless right now and I am out of the money. Please refund, or update the app. ### 1/5 — Math is consistently wrong *2020-09-27, version 1.2.140414* Payouts are based on what you rolled on the dice. It’s pretty frustrating when you roll a 5 or 6 (meaning the payout should be well over 10,000$) and the game only pays you 1,000. Some times it just forgets to pay you your yearly salary. And there is an “income tax” square that says pay 10% of the money you have. It often takes many thousands of dollars more than it is supposed to from you, but if the cpu lands there it might only take $150. I can’t believe I payed for this. ### 1/5 — FIX THIS *2018-08-24, version 1.2.140414* You can’t zoom in on the board to read the spot you are on and the graphics on some FREE games have better graphics and this is a paid game so it should have much better graphics fix this and ill rate five stars ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of my favorites in the palm of my hand *2023-06-24* My wife introduced me to the farming game. When I discovered I could play it on my phone it became one of my favorite apps. I cannot wait for the app update. ### 5/5 — Please Upgrade to new IOS *2022-02-14* Love love love this game but cannot play it anymore because it needs updated. Saw a review response it was supposed to be updated June 2021 but it wasnt. Please update. My cows need me. 😂 **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working.

With the most recent iPhone update I can’t play anymore. The App tells me it isn’t compatible with IPhones latest update. Hopefully someone figures this out so I can get back to farming. **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working.

Its time has probably come to an end tho as there’s been no update in 7 years and as of September ‘21 it’s no longer compatible with the current iOS. Hope to see it revived one day! **Developer response:** Sorry this version is no longer working.

Please fix! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-05-05* This game is just like the board game. It is so fun! It randomizes the rolls fairly and gives you totals for your pay check, considering harvest, operating expenses, and the space instructions. I think everybody should try it! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-09-08, version 1.2.140414* Just like the real board game!! I enjoy it!! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2016-05-27, version 1.2.140414* Runs great! Had a few bugs to start with but runs much better now. So much fun! ### 5/5 — Memories *2014-09-10* The App works great, and figures harvest $$ much more quickly than doing it manually in the board game. This is fun and brings back great memories of playing the board game for hours on rainy days. Well worth the $. ### 5/5 — Excellent adaptation *2014-08-08, version 1.2.140414* Well worth the price. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
