So I thought I would try it again. But when I found the first two plants it kicked me out of the app completely, and when I try to get back in the game it kicks me out again. This might just be my phone, but if not please look over it. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Was super fun; until it started crashing *2022-08-07, version 2.1* I was messing around with the mix plants feature and all the sudden it closed me out. So I tried to open it back up but now it crashes when you get to the loading screen after you hit play. I do hope it gets fixed because of the fact you have to pay almost $4 for this game and it is pretty fun. **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

And whenever I mix a plant together I get kicked out. I tried to reset my phone but that didn’t work either. This was basically childhood to me but it’s sad to see me rate it low 🥺 ### 4/5 — Latest Glitches *2022-07-18, version 2.1* Toca boca plants is one of my favorite games to play, I’ve been playing this game for years. However, one of the latest glitches made this game almost impossible to play. Whenever you make a new plant hybrid in the plant breeder, it kicks you out of the game and doesn’t let you pass the home screen of the game. I kindly ask of you to help fix this glitch so this game is enjoyable for toca boca fans around the world. **Developer response:** aHi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

Please reply! *2022-06-13, version 2.1* So I got the pack with Toca elements and Toca plants, whe. I first installed it it was great! Then I mixed it in the hybrid thing, then when I clicked back the paper crashed and closed out! And I re- installed after uninstalling , I t happend again! I hope you can fix this bc I spent money on it! Thanks Toca boca! ### 4/5 — If Toca plants come off when loading *2022-05-28, version 2.1* Toca plants kept on making me leave it mad me sad so I deleted the app the put it back on and it works! So people who have that problem try that I hope it works for you to! ### 4/5 — I can’t get back in the game *2022-05-28, version 2.1* I mixed plants and I can’t open the game it’s is making me really close to uninstalling it because I paid money for a game I can’t get in to it’s my frist day playing this I hope you can fix this problem. ### 4/5 — Found a bug, not a good one. *2022-05-21, version 2.1* So I was just playing the game when Hypnum Moss decided to be a weird one. The place where his mouth was supposed to be was completely destroyed and altered to where he was in like the shape of a V. However, when he walks he returns back to normal, but when the animation stops, he goes back to his V shape. I don’t know if this is a problem with my IPad, but none the less it needs fixing.😀🫡👍 **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

I tried to delete apps as I was thinking it was a Storage issue that did not work. It stops working the moment I make a new plant. I really would love the game if it wasn’t for this major bug. ### 4/5 — I like it but may *2022-05-15, version 2.1* So this game is really fun like I tried everything and there’s only one thing that crash the game I still love it but it’s annoying Developers response Please fix the glitch when I go on the combining then anything comes out it crashed the whole game that’s like oh no you said the whole game and where I would do you do please fix it **Developer response:** aHi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

But when you try to combine the plants it just closes the game. And when you try to get back in it kicks you out again. Please fix this bug because it takes a lot away from the game. ### 3/5 — Annoying glitch *2022-04-16, version 2.1* So the game is really fun and stuff and I really like it but there’s a glitch to when you open it and you get to the loading screen, it just closes out every time so I can’t even play the game, and if I can’t play it I’m gonna want my money back unless it gets fixed sometime soon, and other people are having this problem so it’s not just my phone acting up **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

Every time I use the combination machine it and it finishes it kicks me out the game so when I try to get back in the app it won’t let me. Please fix this. But otherwise, very fun game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced close *2022-08-05, version 2.1* I played for a few minutes and now I cant play at all because the app glitches and forces me out as soon as I hit the play button. I paid for a game that doesn't even work. What a rip off. I usually love all the Toca games but this one was a waste. I’ve spent a good amount of money on these games because they're usually good. Please fix this issue. It says last update was 4 months ago. There needs to be another one to fix the bugs. ### 1/5 — Fix the glitch please *2022-07-23, version 2.1* So when I bought this game for my kids they really wanted it because they saw you can mix the plants into some sort of weird plant and when they first got it they went to the mixer and mixed the plants and as soon as they exited out out of the mixer it just took us back to the Home Screen I thought it was the tablet but then I put it on my phone and it did the same thing so it was the app so please fix it ### 1/5 — Please read! *2022-07-23, version 2.1* I bought this game and thought it was good at first but soon later I wanted to play a different game so I left then I came back and it wouldn’t let me play it just kept sending me to my home page! I was pretty mad and I was reading the the reviews and saw it was happening to some other people please don’t spend you money on such a awful game it is not worth it! ### 1/5 — Fix The Glitch!!!!!!! *2022-06-10, version 2.1* So, I had just paid for the game and I began to play it. I played it for about five minutes and then I got a notification and closed the game. Well, instead of it being closed for a few minutes it has been been closed ever since. It seems like a lot of people are having this glich too. Not just me. So, if you’re looking to buy this game I wouldn’t recommend it. Please don’t waste your money on a game that doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — I hate this stupid glitch *2022-05-04, version 2.1* So it is really boring because I will get to the part where you press the play button but it will load for like 2 seconds then when you get to the part where it is loading you into the actual game (before you see anything)it just crashes and kicks you out of the game so you can’t play it. When you first play the game you can get in but after you make your first plant it just kicks you out of the game. We need you to actually fix the problem because you said “bugs fixed”when it hasn’t been fixed so actually try fixing it.(please and thank you) **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

Shortly after that, it loads for quite some time, and then brings me right back to my personal home screen. I deleted it, thought it was because my phone wasn’t updated, updated my phone, reset my phone, but clearly it is on the developers side. This game has been out many years, as seen from the comments and their age, so you would think they could have fixed this problem by now. Do not waste your money, I love Toca because their games are very easy for my mind, but this is just devastating and disappointing. I never thought i would have to read the reviews for a Toca game, but I stand corrected. **Developer response:** aHi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

There was a recent update in October but it didn’t fix the problem and many people are still purchasing the game!!! To everyone looking to buy this game, wait until you see this get patched otherwise your going to waste your money. FYI when you purchase an app you’d expect there not to be any ads in the game but Toca Boca has ads leading the kids to more of there very expensive and not educational apps. Very low standards for this company which used to be full of cool, fun, educational games. It seems they pay a lot more attention to their new mindless apps where kids beg their parents to buy more crap everyday because of all the “special characters” the kids click on which are ads disguised as part of those games. ### 2/5 — Stoped working day I got it *2022-09-18, version 2.1* I know many people say the same thing that I say but after you press play it just crashes over and over and it hasn’t been fixed I have seen another review that said it stoped working in September of 2020 and 2 years later it’s still not working I got this because I played it when I was younger ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-06-03, version 2.1* Okay so I got the pack with Toca lab elements and Toca lab plants today and I was playing the plants one and I was just playing it until I wanted to play another game and I was getting off to play another game and I played that for a bit until I wanted to play the Toca lab I got on it and sent me to the home thing with the play button, so I pressed the play button and it loaded, until it sent me into my Home Screen. So I restarted my phone, deleted the app and reinstalled it, checked if there were updates but nothing worked. Please look into this I am begging I really like this app. **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're truly sorry for the time it's taken to fix this issue.

Never had a problem with the other games , not sure why this one is having one 🤔 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is awesome. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 *2023-05-05* This game is super cool and fun to play. But there are some glitches with the coconut tree, the green and red, and the mosses, andreaea, hypnum moss, glittering woodmoss, Red bogmoss, and the blunt leaves bogmoss. Can you please give me an update of the glitch fix? Super duper extremely please? I hope you fix this glitch. I’ll still have fun with the plants. I’m not sending it back to the App Store. According to my apps, deleting apps is restricted due to Qustodio VPN. First of all, Qustodio is a parental control app for your child. And second of all, a VPN is a virtual Private Network. But if you ask me, VPN means Vice President Needs. ### 5/5 — Fix it please *2023-02-26, version 2.2* When it got downloaded it keeps crashing on and on and when I swipe to the next screen it crashes the screen and plz fix it now also it’s not loading or buying ### 5/5 — Needs bug fix but awesome game *2022-10-27, version 2.2* After the crash fix, I was excited to revisit the game I grew up on but when I checked the plants, all of the mosses were glitched and their idle animations were messed up. The moss hybrids did the same thing and the coconut tree had the same issue. Still a W game tho. **Developer response:** Hi there 👋 We're sorry to hear about this issue, please reach out to our support team at https://tocaboca.helpshift.com/hc/en/16-other-toca-boca-apps/contact-us/?p=ios and provide as much information as possible about this issue (include screenshots and a short video if possible). ✨ Toca Boca ✨ ### 5/5 — Love the game but requires a bug fix *2022-08-14, version 2.1* I loved the first Toca lab, and love the second one even more, but the game freezes up and crashes upon opening when you mix the plants Please release a quick patch ### 5/5 — Does it have to glitch *2022-07-14, version 2.1* I love Toca nova and since I finished TocaElements I got bored then I saw this game and when I bought it the first thing it did was glitch then I got into the game for like 3-4 mins and it glitched me out so ya that’s my only problem about the game! ### 5/5 — There’s a bug *2022-05-04, version 2.1* When ever I use the machine that combines the two plants it always leaves the game I can’t play it again I have to delete it and then download it ### 5/5 — Make more science games PLEASE! *2021-06-29, version 2.0* They are so fun, but you need more science games also make more science games where you can combine creatures. The first science game was good but would have been better if you could combine elements. :) ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2021-05-27, version 2.0* I’ve played tons of games, but none compare to this one. This game is full of creativity and over all fun. It’s incomparably amazing. Amazing, there is not another way to put it. This game deserves nothing but 5 stars. Keep it up! 😁 ### 5/5 — Like it but want more plants. *2021-03-07, version 1.1.3* Can you add a cherry blossom tree, another cactus type, a palm tree, a redwood tree, a tulip plant, rose bush, yellow orchid, apple tree, ivy, grape vine, coral, and seeweed. Other than that, it’s a great game. Also, can you add a stump to the ground area and when you go on it your plant does something cool. Also, for the tulips, can you add a red one, a pink one, and a yellow one? ### 5/5 — More plants please *2021-02-25, version 1.1.3* I love the game in all, but I was able to beat it in not even a day and I would love it if you added new plants and if you had a page of all the hybrid plants you make. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
