There is the design, the crosswords, and the word searches. So many puzzles in one game. My only complaint is that the screen keeps freezing, when I am in the middle of a game. That is so annoying! Please can you do anything to stop this happening? ### 4/5 — All of your games *2021-08-15, version 2.2.2* The adds are so frustrating and not worth playing any of the games they’re far to long - it’s a joke ### 4/5 — Great game, but..... *2021-06-20* There are a few things I would like to say about this game. First there are plenty of ads when you don’t want them, but not enough when you do. Like in achievements when you have to watch a video to get the reward, it won’t play them when you click on them. Second when you are playing the word game some of the letters repeat themselves in the other levels. Lastly when is the next renovation coming? Otherwise it’s a fun game to play. ### 4/5 — Fun, but some words don’t work. *2021-05-30* This is a super entertaining game, but I’ve found that, on certain levels, some words don’t work, even as bonus words. For example, “herb” didn’t show up as a valid word. Other than that issue, this game is so good! <3 ### 4/5 — It’s a good game *2021-05-26, version 2.2.1* It’s a good game but glitchy.Over all its a fun game. ### 5/5 — Nice to be different *2021-05-25, version 2.2.1* There are so many word collect games this has the spin of collecting lucky clovers to build and decorate as you go . Makes it a bit different like 2 games in one , good game . ### 5/5 — The game *2021-05-24, version 2.2.1* I love this game!!!!! I love making stuff ### 5/5 — Word Holiday *2021-05-24, version 2.2.1* This game is so fun and cool. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-23* The game is fun as I love word games. The journey you take is unexpected and can be very different with each action! ### 5/5 — Good Game *2021-05-21, version 2.2.1* I am enjoying the game ### 5/5 — Why I love this game *2021-05-21, version 2.2.1* I love this game it’s because I love renovating games!!! ### 5/5 — Love love love this game *2021-05-21, version 2.2.1* Usually all the renovating games have you match stuff I love word finders and house games 2 this is the perfect game for me and I bet you it is for other people as well.😃😃😃😃😃 ### 5/5 — Star *2021-05-21, version 2.2.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-05-21, version 2.2.1* I love this game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Experienced Glitch!! *2023-10-23* This game was decent until I got a glitch when I tried to download the “Tree House Whispers” bookstore location. The glitch said my internet connection wasn’t working when my Internet connection WAS working fine. This is why I give this game only one star. Without the glitches I’d give it four stars. Don’t bother with this game. Downloading it and playing it is a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Cannot Design/Decorate Next Item *2023-01-02* I have completed several books and decorated two items, I am trying to decorate the third item, but won’t let me decorate, how can I move on to next item to decorate? If not, I delete the game☹️☹️ VickyLens ### 1/5 — Stalled *2021-07-14, version 2.2.1* On level 470 Found 27 out of 33 but does not show anymore confused ### 1/5 — Broken *2021-04-22, version 2.1.5* The game was fun and found great for the whole first chapter. As soon as I got to the second chapter (the beach), when I place items for my bookstore (floor, bookshelf) they just show up as a big white rectangle. I closed the game fully and reopened it, was greeted by two different pop ups trying to get me to pay $7.99 a week for a subscription to the game which never happened before during the whole of the first chapter. Once I finally got back to my game, items were still showing as white rectangles and trying to place a new item froze the game entirely. I had to keep closing and reopening to try again. Over many attempts, I continually get two pop ups trying to get me to purchase a theme and subscription to the game and then once I get past that and try to play the game it freezes...every single time. Also, I have to say $8/week for a game is insane. I could go buy a brand new console game with all the money I save after a couple months of what I would pay at $8/week! Why would I pay hundreds of dollars a year for a simple game like this when console games rarely go over $60 and you own it forever? I know developers work really hard, and you deserve to get paid just like anyone else, but that’s a bit ridiculous. I’d happily continue playing at a much more reasonable cost or for free with the ads as they are reasonable in this game provided the glitches get fixed. As for now, I’m deleting and don’t recommend downloading as it won’t work after the first chapter/level. ### 1/5 — Ads lie *2020-08-24* I downloaded this game because of the way they made their ads I thought the idea of finishing quotes and stuff would be a cooks change from the normal word cross after playing for at least 30 min found out it is just a normal brining weird cross not finishing quotes in books like they show... **Developer response:** Dear, sorry about this. We value your opinions very much and we will work hard more to monitor promotion creatives and optimize the contents in latest version. Thank you for your support. ### 1/5 — Bonus Words Messing Up *2020-06-27* It was fun in the beginning. Now every time I try to click “claim” for the bonus letters, it always freezes and I always have to restart the game. I tried to restart my phone and see if that would fix it, but it just kept doing the same thing. Please fix this! **Developer response:** Dear, sorry about that, could you please tell us more detail informations, such as the device system version and model, to help us solve the problem ASAP. Thank you so much~ ### 3/5 — Fun *2021-06-02* Fun and very creative but make sure that when prompted to choose next level or collect by watching an Ad that you choose Collect (watch ad) because you’re going to watch a full length ad regardless so you may as well get the extra coins or whatever ### 3/5 — Excessive ads *2021-05-28* I get that ads are a way for companies to earn money, but this game has TOO MUCH ads! there are ads between each level, and even sometimes during a level. Since I can figure out a level in a couple of minutes, so it gets too much. Always the same long repeating stupid ads. At the beginning I could deal with them, but come on. I wouldn’t even mind paying for the app if there was an option to do away with the ads. It’s fun no more. Will delete. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2021-05-02* Fun app with way too many ads. The excessive ads take away from the relaxation. ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2021-03-02* I have two or three books in the first couple of levels that say they’ll be unlocked when I finish a specific level, but there’s no way to go back to finish that level, and I’m hundreds of levels further than that. I enjoy the game play itself, it’s fun and interesting. Wish there was more to decorate as I’m just stockpiling clovers now. And I have 3 out 4 books done that are “coming soon”. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2024-02-19* I loved this. Please please put it back on GOOGLE PLAY. PLEASE.
