1. [R13] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Still so many pop ups: I haven’t played in over a year. I tried to come back but there are still so many things you have to clock through to get to the game play. This was supposedly being addressed over 2 years ago. I know how the season pass works. It annoyed me so much having to click through the “activate” tutorial that I just closed and left the app again. Such a shame as this is a wonderful
2. [R18] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Enjoy but too many pop ups: I enjoy playing this game but the pop ups in the beginning drive me insane, I just want to play the game like normal I dont care about the new events. If you want to advertise new events put it on the side or something where you click on it to see it instead of the tons of pop ups.
3. [R25] Love & Pies 2/5 · US so many pop-ups!: I recently opened this game up again after a while of not playing, and I was wondering why I stopped at all, and then was quickly reminded: there are so. many. pop-ups. If you don’t open the game for a few days, you have to click through tens of pop-ups about events stopping and starting. I just want to get to the game! But the pop-up event notifications totally deter me from pla
4. [R27] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Pop ups: I would play this game more often if the 1000 pop ups when you open it didn’t make me wanna blow my brains out, other than that it’s fun 👍
5. [R6] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Great but annoying: I've been playing this game for several months now and I can confidently confirm that improvements are needed in order to compete with other popular merge games. Firstly, less time needed for recharging generators - I should not have to play hourly in order to progress (this is a game after all) Secondly, and not so importantly, the amount of notifications is excessive. I just
6. [R12] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Ummmmm: Ok well this game is very fun and I think quite well organized, but there are definitely some problems. First one is the energy thing. Let me explain, when you’re doing the matching game thing every time you click on the regenerator it takes away one energy. One out of 100 by the way. Now that might sound like a lot, but it’s not. And then you have to wait a whole hour for it to restart. L
7. [R19] Love & Pies 2/5 · US has potential: app has potential to be a fun merge game, but makes you wait extremely long to play the game so you can buy energy or coins. never understood the whole "you have to wait to play" thing till i realized it was just a money grab
8. [R45] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Awesome Game butt…: This is a really good game game but the big dent in this game is the energy bar. You join and play maybe 5 minutes and then ur energy is just gone!! Its a pay to play game. :( Unless you want to wait a week for good progress you’re done!! That really made me delete it the first time and now im considering it again.
9. [R1] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Didn’t pay, Paid and now no commercial for things I need: I was on this app before for years and was at a way advanced level than I was before and didn’t pay. Had commercials for energy and items in shadows that were big. Decide to pay and get less commercials for opportunities to earn energy and blinking items. I’m not donating another penny. Smh
10. [R30] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Somehow Got Worse: I used to ADORE this game because there was a lot you could do without being a PTW. I’m not sure what happened, but as of a week ago, you can’t skip anything or get any more energy with ads like you used to. I can watch maybe one or two ads before I’m paywalled.
11. [R31] Love & Pies 2/5 · US don't spend money on this game, you'll just be penalized for it.: i enjoy this game, but i want to say it's absolutely ridiculous how when you spend money on anything, you're basically "punished" for weeks for spending money. once you send the game any money, expect to only get about up to fifty free energy through ads as opposed to the normal daily three hundred energy you can get through ads wit
12. [R34] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Fun game and good storyline BUT don’t make any purchases: I’ve been playing Love & Pies for a few years now and enjoy the storyline and seeing what’s going to happen next. I don’t like to spend money playing games but once in a while I will when I want to keep playing and am out of energy or other ways to earn energy to keep playing. I’ve done it a few times playing this game always hoping they ch
13. [R10] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Crashing: Game keeps crashing. I’m about to delete for good.
14. [R35] Love & Pies 4/5 · US Freezing: I only gave it 4 stars cuz it’s one of my favorites but a 3 really because I’ve gotten to level 17 &’ it keeps freezing idk why but I haven’t played in awhile but just want to play.
15. [R38] Love & Pies 5/5 · US Game freezes after last update: I’ve ran into a problem recently after updating the game to the latest version the game freezes right after launch
16. [R37] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Fun & Disappointing: The game cheats on challenges to make it IMPOSSIBLE to win before the time ends. I played 30 days straight, gaining lots of points and then as it gets closer to the, received nothing but DUDS. So, disappointing. Waist of time, for real.
17. [R42] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Was great: I loved this game when I first started playing. Now it’s impossible to get through most orders and I can’t finish a sticker album without paying. Might have to drop this game soon if this keeps happening.
18. [R46] Love & Pies 1/5 · US It’s cute, but: Like I said, this is a cute game to look at but isn’t without its problems. If you want to chase something,like the sticker album or esmes adventures, be prepared to pay. I will admit I’ve thrown a lot of money at this game only to come up short. It’s been several days since I last saw a “new” sticker, and with only 3 days left, I have zero hope that the final 3 I need will show up
19. [R49] Love & Pies 1/5 · US “Too bad, so sad”: After a few years of LOVING and actually spending money on this game (when I literally NEVER spend money on games - not even a dollar) I ran into some frustration surrounding the new sticker album feature. The first album, I used my special “24 hour” sticker on a higher level sticker to an album that never ended up getting completed despite constant gameplay. The next time aroun
20. [R4] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Not a fan of the latest update: I really love this game. I love the graphics, storyline and how inclusive the characters are. I’ve paid out of pocket for the picnic pass and a few other things. I don’t mind supporting creators when I can. However, the latest up date (9.23.22) drastically changed the number of coins needed to advance the story. Before the update, things cost 36-90 coins to advanc
21. [R21] Love & Pies 3/5 · US So hard to progress: awesome but it takes so long to progress anywhere. it takes 600 coins just to buy one rug. I don’t like how you have to spend coins in order to just see the story and not even buy anything for your restaurant. I’ve been playing for a few months and have spent at least $25 and I’m still only on like the third room because it takes so many coins just to progress. And it’s pretty
22. [R22] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Coins: Get rid of the coins or find a use for them!!! It’s so frustrating because they are pointless when you get to higher levels
23. [R7] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Steals money, useless customer service.: I like this game a lot. It’s fun and easy to play. But at some point an update has it occasionally charging me when I don’t authorize a purchase. I have changed my password, required a PW for every purchase, turned ability to make purchases off, deleted and redownloaded the game. It still happens. CS is totally useless and tells me to talk to Apple, which h
24. [R43] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Won’t refund unapproved purchases: They refused to refund money, that I hadn’t approved for purchases made for in game content.
25. [R52] Merge Mansion 4/5 · US Super fun but you have to wait a lot: This game is so fun and I love the story line with the daughter and the grandma and it’s also pretty fun that you have to build your way through the mansion to find out more things. Two things I don’t like about it though is that when you use all your energy and gems up, you have to wait until you get an energy restock, Also you also have to wait to produce th
26. [R53] Merge Mansion 3/5 · US Things have changed.: This WAS my favorite, but not now. I’m sad I’m looking for a replacement. Everything is progressing too slowly, I can’t spend real money and I feel it would be a bottom less pit anyway. Too many changes that have taken rewards away and I feel like it’s all about the dev’s trying to get us to spend money. Sorry but it’s time for me to move on.
27. [R54] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US So many cool down timers: This game is horrible. You produce 3 items it cools down 5 more cools down one more cools down. Never gives the extra item the producers can produce. Super aggravating don’t waste your time
28. [R55] Merge Mansion 5/5 · US Lorena Figueroa Lebrón: Me encanta es super entretenido solo q aveces no me gusta porque hay q esperar a q las cosas carguen oara que ouedas seguir haciendo cosas pero fuera de eso e smiy bueno y entretiene
29. [R65] Gossip Harbor® 1/5 · US Lies: Not at all like the add!!!!!
30. [R66] 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.
31. [R67] 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
32. [R68] Gossip Harbor® 1/5 · US Not the ad: It’s not the same game in the ad
33. [R79] Merge Hotel Empire－Design Game 4/5 · US i’m lowk only doing this for the gem things: i downloaded this app for another app that pays you to play (i know they don’t all work but idk im bored and want money) the game is very boring at first, but if you play it for like 15 mins its lowk addictive kinda.
34. [R80] Merge Hotel Empire－Design Game 3/5 · US Okay: I like the monotony of the game, but the annoying pop up adds for in-game purchases is ridiculous.
35. [R82] Merge Hotel Empire－Design Game 3/5 · US Disappointed: In order to play and get far you have to pay. Not a fan when you have to buy everything to move along. I wouldn’t download unless you want to spend a lot.
36. [R85] Merge Hotel Empire－Design Game 5/5 · US What a hazzle free way of making money: But be warned this could be addictive
37. [R95] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US what are u supposed to do when the generators are loading: the generators only work for a few seconds even after upgrading them. i genuinely close out of the game while i wait like an hour for them to even regenerate to which i only get 10 minutes of gameplay after that. and if you want it to generate faster you have to spend a ridiculous amount of diamonds. like theres genuinely nothing else to t
38. [R96] Merge Cooking® 2/5 · US The game is fun.. however: The game itself is actually fun, and the merge mechanics are enjoyable, which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. Unfortunately, it's buried under so many monetization mechanics that it stops being fun after a while. The biggest issue is the energy system. You're capped at 100 energy, it takes 120 seconds to regenerate a single point, and it takes nearly 3 hours t
39. [R97] Merge Cooking® 4/5 · US Cool game: Fun to play not overstimulating
40. [R98] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US Opinion: Excellent game!! I have been playing this nearly since one month🤍I have only a opinion about energy..restoring energy should be get more faster..i takes 3 hours!!
41. [R107] Mergedom 2/5 · US Used to be fun, overtaken by ads: I used to play this game often but these days it has SO MANY ad interruptions, can’t listen to my podcasts while I play, plays the SAME stupid ad over and over every 5 minutes or so… I rarely play it now and when I do I usually switch to another game out of frustration over the ad overkill. Oh, and don’t forget the ads every 2 minutes that force open other apps. S
42. [R108] Mergedom 5/5 · US Mergedom: Home Design: I generally don’t like merge games. However, the decorating makes it more interesting.
43. [R109] Mergedom 3/5 · US Ads make the game unbearable: This is a decent game. Pretty standard merge game with a some of minor but good improvements. The ads, however, ruin the playing experience and I’m deleting the game after only a few days of playing it. They pop up literally every 2 minutes or so. And not like other games that only play ads after you finish a round, they pop up right in the middle of games….and when
44. [R110] Mergedom 2/5 · US Too many ads: Deleting the game because of the amount of ads that pop up. Theirs way better similar game types out there without the ads
45. [R14] Love & Pies 4/5 · US AD issues: I love this game - I’ve had it for years and love the simple gameplay and decoration aspect. My only issue is that sometimes when I watch ads in the game, they don’t give me the reward afterwards or they simply don’t allow me to exit out of the ad back into the game and I have to close the entire app. Not sure if this is a game issue or whoever is running the ads but it’s very annoying!
46. [R36] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Is this just me not remembering i sold it?: Hey, sorry to start with the bad, but ive been having this problem with my things on the board disappearing, it might be me, but I had a bag of seeds and i got another one, but the other wasn’t there. Ive had this problem with other things, it might just be me. But overall its so good! Good story too, but I will say can you find a way for us to earn more
47. [R8] Love & Pies 5/5 · US best merge game out there: i LOVE merge games and this one definitely takes the cake. most merge games use ai to create stories and imagery but it is such a relief that this game is drawn and made by man. such cute stories and quests!
48. [R15] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Meh: I’m just not feeling it. The story is too similar to Gossip Harbor. We’ve got not-Quinn with her divorced self and fluorescent hair. Her daughter, not-Olivia who likes boy things. Her high school love interest, not-Harrison who works against not-Quinn to pay for not-Harrison’s-dad medical bills. Come on now…
49. [R41] Love & Pies 5/5 · US Must Play Merge Game: I just had to review this one! I’ve tried so many merge games and this one is on top! The artwork and animation is great, the story is well done and flows beautifully, not dubbed. I look forward to getting the stickers, not like others. The merges actually make sense. The side games are not overwhelming and are enjoyable. I wish the energy refills were less gems but I’ll surv
