It feels like a prized jewel that was just thrown away. Please come back and give it a good shine! ### 2/5 — Soft locked *2026-08-31, version 1.9306* You can not dismiss and chage the bird named Koko the button if off the eage of the screen on my phone I picked the meat before the sling shot so it’s impossible for meat I am soft locked ### 4/5 — 好游戏…如果没有那么多bug的话 *2026-08-28, version 1.9306* 本人是国服老玩家，停服删档以后郁闷了很久，近期才找到渠道来这里玩。 内容一如既往的有趣，积攒材料、升级房子、解锁配方、制作手工，还有在Trading time争夺最佳商人的体验都令人入迷，萌萌的小红鸟、帮了我好大忙的忠心的狗子以及沿途风景本身也是我难以舍弃它的原因。另外金马蹄铁这个氪金道具其实每天完成任务就可以获得，可以说真的很良心了。 但bug真的好多。平时的闪退，还有物品制作出来以后悬在半空中而不落入背包，这些勉强可以靠退出重进解决。但今天下午我遇到了让我十分心痛的一个bug。在连续游玩一下午，出售了很多玩偶，此时金钱基本足够下一趟的船票，然后完成了每日任务，终于攒够了金马蹄铁，于是我兴冲冲地去到热气球商人那里买下了我早已看中的永久耐久帽子，零头用于购置可以增加收入的小台灯，最后在Trading time卖出了旧帽子，还采购了一点食材，做出肉干。此时肉干又出现了悬在空中的现象，我不假思索就退出重进，结果，我发现每日任务完成的进度回到了0/4，我新买的帽子和台灯消失了，金钱数额回到了原点，但金马蹄铁也变成了0。我的整个下午白费，曾经很久的时间和期待也白费了，而且因为原材料匮乏，金钱匮乏，帽子消失，我一时不知道如何重新开始……卸载并重新下载以后也没有改变。 这让我来到这里，写下我的评论，把原本的五星扣掉一星。我实在不知道该怎么继续保持活跃，并且产生了某种恐惧的心情。希望有一天这个问题会得到解决，也好让玩家们安心体验。 无论如何，感谢创作者的辛勤付出，让我拥有了一段绝对美好无暇的回忆。 ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2026-08-15, version 1.9306* The game is good,but it doesn’t save data.I play on a different app for a bit and when i go back my payment for the ferry is back to 1,400 so I can’t get on ### 3/5 — Save game issue *2026-08-06, version 1.9306* The game is amazing as everyone knows but it has severe persistence and saving issue, anytime i close the app and come again i get further away. I went to eden falls and upgraded my house then a day after i went three days earlier where i havent even been to eden falls!!! ### 4/5 — Great Game - Huge Bug *2026-08-03, version 1.9306* I have loved this game on and off for several years now, but there is one thing that has driven me away from this game recently. After buying a house, navigating off the house menu and returning to the trail will crash the game. It has happened to me at least a dozen times now in the last few days alone, and has made the game completely unplayable as even trying to relaunch the game, it will still crash. The only viable solution I have found it reinstalling the whole app. It happens when upgrading your house, trying to return to the trail, viewing crates or town buildings, etc, basically anything to do with leaving the home menu. It’s very frustrating and I have seen quite a few complaints about this issue! Beyond that, a great game with a very unique mechanic and beautiful art style, just this one major bug has really driven my interest away from the game ### 4/5 — Crashes *2026-08-03, version 1.9306* I love this game so much but it keeps crashing and when I try to reopen the app it crashes about 2-3 times before reopening. ### 3/5 — language *2026-08-01, version 1.9306* I really love this game, but I wish it had Chinese support so it could attract more Chinese players ### 4/5 — <3 *2026-07-30, version 1.9306* Very VERY fun, calming and addictive game. Only thing I have to say: it’s been crashing quite regularly since i’ve unlocked the city. Fortunately this doesn’t affect my progress at all, it is just tiring. Other than that: wow! ### 4/5 — Why was this abandoned *2026-07-24, version 1.9306* I love the game even with all of the bugs. The problem is that the developers stopped working on it even though the community is so strong! Even after all this time, I still hold out hope that they will come back to it ### 4/5 — PLEASE FINISH THE GAME *2026-07-22, version 1.9306* I have been playing this game for years. But I have reached the end I of the trial and would love to continue on. Is there any news on extending the trail and finishing the game anytime soon. I would love to continue on. This is one of my favorite games. ### 5/5 — BRO PLEASE UPDATE *2026-07-21, version 1.9306* I’ve played this game for around 3 years off and on and this is genuinely the best game I’ve ever played, it is my dream game and just please bro, don’t abandon this game. ### 2/5 — Game keeps crashing *2026-07-16, version 1.9306* This game is fun but I think something about the towns makes the app crash. After it crashes once, it’s like that’s save file is corrupted, because it will crash even when I try to redownload the game. ### 5/5 — awesommee *2026-07-11, version 1.9306* this game is so fun because you just walk the best kind of game and the characters are sooo cute and i love yhe menus plus interactable bag system wow its so good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-10, version 1.9306* I’m only a day or 2 in and I’m really enjoying it. It’s engaging and keeps you busy and distracted ### 5/5 — Amazing game. needs more updates 👏 *2026-07-04, version 1.9306* I've been playing this game for a very long time now. It's the only mobile game I've kept up with for so long. The gameplay is fun and never gets old because there's so much you can do, the art style is lovely, and ads aren't forced onto you. Despite how well the gameplay holds up today, I've been noticing more bugs coming up as time passes. Most things are minor, and don't affect gameplay too much. Specific examples are how often it crashes. Sometimes it takes 2-3 tries to open to game and get past the loading screen. It also tends to crash after exiting my home, to which it can take anywhere from 2-5 tries to get the game back open. After resetting my data, this problem solved, but I had an issue where I was unable to cut birch trees specifically. It just didn't work. In short — good game. sad to see the popularity decrease (though it seems to be getting better?), and I would love to see more bug fixing updates. ### 5/5 — Best mobile game *2026-07-04, version 1.9306* In my opinion, this has to be one of the best mobile games on here, it’s calming, yet exciting and addictive and keeps you coming back for more. It’s so fleshed out with so many fun parts of the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A big glitch *2026-07-17, version 1.9306* My game is glitching and not even letting me get in the game fix it I had a lot of stuff and now I can’t use it. ### 1/5 — Great until it breaks *2026-07-12, version 1.9306* In love with the game and definitely spent money now the app won’t open. ### 1/5 — Devs suck *2026-07-12, version 1.9306* FIX THE CRASHINGGGGGG. My file is now corrupted because of your lazy asses fml. ### 1/5 — Play at own risk *2026-06-17, version 1.9306* The game is great in concept until it doesn’t save anything you do. Spent may hours on the game just for it to not have saved any progress. ### 1/5 — Used to be so good *2026-06-07, version 1.9306* I used to play this game all the time, and had gotten super far, but recently when I try to play it doesn’t even make it to the main screen before crashing. Such a shame, I really enjoyed this one. Wish they’d fix it. ### 1/5 — Was having fun, but *2026-05-16, version 1.9306* I realized you can’t do much without having to pay, became very unenjoyable ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-05-10, version 1.9306* can’t save properly, always lose progress. ### 1/5 — 吞存档，没法正常保存 *2026-05-09, version 1.9306* 好几次了，辛辛苦苦砍树升级了房子，完成了每日任务，下次登录一看什么都没保存，一朝回到解放前。恶心死了。最恶心的是小镇砍树的记录保存了，砍树的产出没保存但是树没了保存了。离谱吗。 ### 1/5 — Not starting up on the iPhone Air on iOS 26 *2026-04-01, version 1.9306* fix please otherwise I love this game ! ### 1/5 — Could be great *2026-03-24, version 1.9306* I enjoyed this game but it’s too glitched. The town frequently crashes the game and only after multiple tries will it re-open; if not, I have to restart my iPad (A16). Sometimes after it crashes, I lose hours of progress. The most common cause of the game crashing is when you’re in the town, in your home, and you press the back button. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — great game but... *2026-08-27, version 1.9306* it's kicking me out every time i try to enter except for when i delete it and its only working when i start from the beginning of the game after that if there's any way to fix this please let me know as i had made a significant amount of progress! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-26, version 1.9306* 5 ### 5/5 — IT NEEDS UPDATES *2026-08-20, version 1.9306* I love this game so MUCH and I kept up on this game for a while and IT NEEDS MORE UPDATES ### 5/5 — Always love this game *2026-08-16, version 1.9306* I’ve been playing on and off for years and love it. Just wish I could carry saves over to new devices so I don’t have to always start over ### 5/5 — Amazing Game, But. *2026-08-14, version 1.9306* This is one of the best games I’ve ever played, and I used to ply it constantly, but the bugs started piling up like viruses, and now it crashes if I even try to open it. This is probably because of the massive amount of info the game is holding though, and up until this point, I played it for years and loved every bit! The bugs are probably not getting fixed because the devs stopped updating, but if you have a better device they’ll probably just go away :) ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-08-10, version 1.9306* 这个款游戏我从2018年开始玩，后面中国服务器停服，很舍不得，也很喜欢这款游戏，所以我来到了这里，希望这个游戏还能做下去 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-02, version 1.9306* Nothing else to say here but this is a great game. ### 5/5 — Love so much! *2026-07-30, version 1.9306* Very relaxing and simple, yet not boring ### 5/5 — This is the best mobile game ever *2026-07-27, version 1.9306* I love its style and I really enjoy that ads are optional! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-25, version 1.9306* Love this game it’s so calming and fun to do, I played it a few years ago completed it and just got it back again --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
