1. [R2] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Broken ads: Fun game, but extremely frustrating to have streak rewards and incentivize streaks and ads to continue the level when half of the ads break the game and force you to exit the game, destroying your streak
2. [R3] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Need update: Games suddenly not working, keep restarting
3. [R10] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US The ads malfunction: The ads (usually for that awful Kalshi betting site) malfunction so much over the last few weeks that the game isn’t as much fun anymore. Seems to be on the decline 😬.
4. [R14] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US New issue and an ask: The game reboots after merging too many eggs at once; I got 4 swan nests after tapping two maxed stars. If I tap on all the nests to unload eggs and then merged all the swan eggs and leveled up swans, the game crashed and rebooted from the title page as soon as I tapped on the x to exit the new Discovery Book. Fortunately I didn’t loose anything but had to, in the end, tap ou
5. [R5] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Long time player: Why can’t I use my apple pen to move objects 😭I rarely play anymore just because of this!
6. [R12] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Apple Pencil no longer moves objects: Loved playing this game, but my Apple Pencil has stopped moving objects since the last update. I won’t continue playing if this bug doesn’t get fixed.
7. [R15] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Apple Pencil not working with game: My pencil won’t move the items on the page. It just started this and it’s very frustrating and slowdown my progress. I’ve been playing this game DAILY but if this isn’t fixed I’ll have to stop altogether. Love it but please FIX THIS ISSUE
8. [R18] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US New update stressing me out: Loved this game until the most recent update where I can use my Apple Pencil in the match game but not in the actual merge game. My fingers are far too fat to merge things. Unfortunately until it’s fixed I won’t be playing.
9. [R4] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US the more you play, the more it’s not free to play friendly: at later levels you need to open basket or hangers WHICH need gems to open OR you can pay gems to skip it… then other levels you need mystery eggs which (who would’ve guessed) needs gems… between using gems on levels and quest to level up, there’s just not enough as a free to play player to use without paying which is why the game require
10. [R7] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US Can’t Recommend: I have been playing this game for more than 4 years. Tons of time and some real money invested. It was fun and rewarding until about 2 years ago. Now, with every “update,” they take more rewards away, they make the puzzles even harder (even the ones you’ve done before but have to do again because they run out), and they keep adding new “currencies” that you have to collect before
11. [R11] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Great game, but…: Hands down one of the best games I’ve played. But once you get to a certain level, unlocking parts of the garden are time consuming. My biggest gripe is the wildlife count requirement. It is insanely impossible to keep up as you progress. You will have to spend money to do it or be stuck. The only things that boost you up are magnificent eggs, and they are rare to come by. I curr
12. [R13] Merge Gardens 1/5 · US It used to be fun but…: I used to enjoy playing the game, typical merge game but with a purpose. I was progressing through the game until I got to a section that I couldn’t open unless I paid for it, $20.00. Nope. Then the updates came along, now to figure out where the mergable items are, you have to pay for that option. Nope. I’ve played this game for about three years. I’m deleting it. I d
13. [R1] Merge Gardens 1/5 · US You don’t give us: Any freakin space I keep buying coin storage and I can’t store any more coins this game is stupid that’s why I literally deleted this game before
14. [R9] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Room: I’m having trouble making enough room don’t have money to buy it!
15. [R22] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US Can’t move on: For some reason I have been stuck not being able to level up. Where’s the trees??? The garden has no space because nothing will merge
16. [R6] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Goodbye: This game use to be fun. It stopped being fun for me with the update this past April, when the free magnifying glass was replaced with a pay for use magnet. I along with others complained. I have waited to see if the magnifying glass would be returned and regrettably it has not. Such a shame. Deleting game.
17. [R29] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Thank you for fixing the Apple pen issue!: Thank you so much for fixing the apple pen issue. Makes the game much better. However, can you please take the magnet away that has sort of taken half the fun out of the game. It was a feature that used to be free when we merged items was to have other items highlighted for us. Now we have to pay for a magnet to pull the items together?! Not a good thin
18. [R25] Merge Gardens 1/5 · US Cruel Tasks to level up!: This is a fun game in the beginning but once you reach the higher levels the tasks are cruel and mean to level up! For example: 10,000 wildlife points. You only get 3-5 points merging your birds and the most points which takes a lot of time and work to make a magnificent bird nest will at most yield 150 points! Also anytime you make ANY complaint to the people at the app,
19. [R42] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Takes to long: Takes to long to get expand
20. [R51] Gardenscapes 2/5 · US it’s an okay game: too hard and the powerups are weird
21. [R52] Gardenscapes 5/5 · US New programmer review: I’m not liking the new game as much as the old style for the adventures. There are too many fixes too many find and fix constantly find and fix over and over and fix this is getting repetitive and boring. I miss the old blue and yellow trails and the new adventures is stupid. Some of these obstacles I have to move 3040 and 50 energy points, which means I have to wait 2 1/2 3
22. [R53] Gardenscapes 3/5 · US The game is fun but…: Level 25 is very hard to pass. Especially if you don’t have a lot of coins. I won’t spend money in games. It be nice if there was ads to watch when wanting to use a booster instead of just coins. If a person does not have enough coins then there stuck.
23. [R54] Gardenscapes 1/5 · US Welcome to…: Welcome to pure meanness. You have one task left to do to complete a day. You finally get the chance and obtain a “reward” of 30 free minutes of play. The level you start will a super hard level which the entire 30 minutes will be wasted on. Using power has the same effect as using a flashlight with dead batteries. You then try using the free 10 minutes in frog event after that humil
24. [R65] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Merge DRAGONS: What is going on with my game? It keeps shutting itself off & resetting itself. It’s really getting frustrating.! I’ve been playing this game for about 10 years & I’ve never had problems like I have had since the new update!! I’m about ready to delete it, if it’s not fixed soon! This is so frustrating!! Now 2 hours before the event was over, I was able to get 4 keys to open the land
25. [R66] Merge Dragons! 5/5 · US Awesome and easy: :)
26. [R67] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Makes me angry: I’ve played this for many years. I always get upset at the dragons harvesting without my permission. Especially on my period, I’ve been extra cranky so this is making me more upset and I don’t like how the dragons will harvest whatever and then I’ll try to get them off and they’ll still get them so I have to toss them across the map in anger since they’re too high leveled to sell.
27. [R68] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Takes too long: It takes too long to get enough dragons to clear boards unless you pay for boosters or egg nests
28. [R79] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US broken ads: broken ads blacken the screen and block game progression- extremely frustrating- State Farm ad is broken blocks game and never exits, have to quit game entirely totally aggravated as a frozen ad forced deletion of app- won’t be coming back
29. [R80] Lily’s Garden 5/5 · US Cute Game!: This is a fun and entertaining game!
30. [R81] Lily’s Garden 3/5 · US It’s fun but aggravating because it hangs and crashes.: It seems like some ads are just thrown on the platform with little to zero testing. When you’re playing and have to watch an ad, the ad will stop mid play, and that’s it. You have to cancel out of the game, then start over. Argh!
31. [R82] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US This game is designed to steal your money! BEWARE!: It has a great story line so it sucks you. After every try they present you with cheap enough options so you can win. So you click 2.99 then 9.99. Then 14.99 by a he end of the month you have spent well over 100 dollars or more. There is no way to win unless you click and pay. I take responsibility for playing this game and letting them outrigh
32. [R93] Merge Mansion 2/5 · US It doesn’t allow you to…..: It doesn’t allow you to get to the different levels fast enough before the reward ends.
33. [R94] Merge Mansion 4/5 · US Pity: I really enjoyed playing this game for two years but now it doesn’t work. I tried deleting and reinstalling it but that didn’t do anything. I can tap all over the screen and it’s like it’s a photo. Pity.
34. [R95] Merge Mansion 3/5 · US Good but: I wish there were no in app purchases or any adds
35. [R96] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US Issues: Major issues- app freezing What is wrong??
36. [R107] Gossip Harbor® 1/5 · US Lies: Not at all like the add!!!!!
37. [R108] Gossip Harbor® 5/5 · US ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️: I love this game it’s really good and I love the drama between the mom and the dad. It’s really fun and so far I love it even though I’ve only been playing for like two days and you don’t have to pay for it.
38. [R109] Gossip Harbor® 3/5 · US Real/honest review: I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this one was worth writing. First, the game is nothing like the ads. To be fair, the game itself is enjoyable, but the marketing is misleading. The ads portray gameplay that simply doesn’t exist. If anything, the mechanics shown in the ads would make excellent optional side activities or mini games, and I would genuinely enjoy seeing them add
39. [R110] Gossip Harbor® 1/5 · US Not the ad: It’s not the same game in the ad
