1. [R4] 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
2. [R6] 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!
3. [R23] 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
4. [R38] 5/5 · US Great game: This has become one of my favorite games . I started playing it to earn points for my fetch app and have continued because I am so invested in the characters and want to see what happens next. I appreciate the creators keeping it running smooth and keeping it fun .
5. [R5] 5/5 · US amazing: i keep having to delete it but i always add it back. It is amazing
6. [R10] 4/5 · US The game is quite good: It has task that is fun to play
7. [R12] 4/5 · US Good game: No ads and could keep you occupied. After I reached 23 I stopped playing because it didn’t seem like would go farther as quick as I was going in the beginning. It got a little boring and I downloaded a different merge game but I see myself redownloading it.
8. [R14] 5/5 · US I love this game: I love this game
9. [R16] 5/5 · US Amazing game, amazing team: This is one of the only mobile games that I’ve kept consistently. They listen to their players, and they make good content. I don’t personally go to in depth with the storyline so I wouldn’t really know where I’m at, but I can say when I first started playing it was interesting. I’ve spent a lot of money on this game and I could proudly say I don’t regret it, this gam
10. [R43] 5/5 · US Fun: I enjoyed this game, but what I noticed the most was that the devs seem to actually care about their players thoughts and opinions. Updates happened often to fix things. The random “mail” that gifted the prize boxes or whatever just because it was a holiday or what not. Thank you for that!
11. [R51] 5/5 · US Love it!: I never write reviews but I will for this game! I have tried other merge games before, but never keep playing them because it’s so hard to make progress. This game is a lot more user-friendly and gives lots of opportunities for you to play without having to pay. Since starting this game a couple months ago, they have sent out multiple surveys asking for feedback. I feel like they really
12. [R52] 4/5 · US What “bugs” did you fix? -UPDATE: Update, They brought back the extra energy by watching ads and the free items by watching ads. Im back to having my morning routine and will continue to play as long as that doesn’t change. Seems like now though you get a lot of the smaller items out of your generators than you used to. For example I have a level 9 food box and I rarely used to get chocolate chip
13. [R18] 5/5 · US No adds: I hate adds but this app has none
14. [R35] 4/5 · US Level 55: I’ve been playing this game for awhile and I’m on level 55, granted there is so much about this game that is sweating really I do love it, no ads you don’t have to pay for anything I mean that’s pretty great, but I do have to say that as it’s gotten into the higher levels I feel like my generators are going backwards as in giving me the lowest they can in everything as much as they can,
15. [R47] 5/5 · US No ads: Amazing!
16. [R97] 1/5 · US bad update: new update made the board WAY too small. i used to open this app multiple times and day and ive only been checking every other day now to see if it got changed back. i cannot understand how making the board so small that players can’t merge properly, is a positive update. i really hope it gets fixed soon so i dont have to delete the app and find a new game
17. [R99] 2/5 · US Horrible New Design: I've been playing and loving this game for a while now, but this most recent update has made it genuinely so hard to play. The smaller game board is inaccessible, and it doesn't even make sense to have the margins so much larger now. It didn't add anything to the gameplay, and it didn't add anything aesthetically either. My biggest problem really is with how small the game boa
18. [R100] 2/5 · US Eh: The new SMALLER board is stupid and all the pops up in the beginning are the reason I rarely open this game
19. [R102] 1/5 · US Latest update is unplayable: I love this game and have played for years, but I literally can't play any more since the latest update made the game board so small. I can't tap the pieces I'm trying to tap, let alone see where I'm moving anything to. I love this game, I don't want to delete it, please PLEASE change the layout back or give a zoom option or SOMETHING.
20. [R13] 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
21. [R19] 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
22. [R29] 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
23. [R31] 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.
24. [R24] 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
25. [R25] 5/5 · US Feedback: I love the game but it is very hard too complete levels. Some of the items that u generate with only work for a few turns than take 2 hrs to recharge . The cat thing and the beehive thing barely work before they have to recharge . Very frustarting. Plz fix
26. [R26] 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
27. [R2] 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
28. [R40] 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
29. [R41] 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
30. [R44] 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.
31. [R3] 4/5 · US Almost perfect: I truly enjoy this game, but I find the sticker packs frustrating. I didn’t realize you only had 24 hours to use the dream sticker reward after earning it. So I was extremely disappointed because I had planned on using the dream stickers toward the end of the sticker pack event to fill in spots I hadn’t managed to find. It was frustrating to realize I had wasted time and gems whi
32. [R17] 3/5 · US Disappointed: Love the game and have played for a long time . Worked hard to finally complete a challenge and get the choose a sticker reward. I purposefully didn’t open it because I know they disappear shortly after opening. BUT It still disappeared. Maybe a warning before it goes. I log on multiple times a day and never was there a heads up. I’m so disappointed because the challenges are al
33. [R55] 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.
34. [R56] 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.
35. [R11] 1/5 · US Crashing: Game keeps crashing. I’m about to delete for good.
36. [R20] 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.
37. [R22] 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
38. [R9] 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
39. [R60] 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.
40. [R49] 4/5 · US Updates: Love the game but it sucks being at the end and waiting weeks for new levels also the matches/orders are getting a little boring. Idk game needs more.
41. [R147] 3/5 · US Needs to add new activity: I used to enjoy this game. But there’s no new activity. Same dating game, same every thing! You need to liven the game! Bring back the toy shoppe! You also need to add free tokens instead of watching ads! There’s no Thanksgiving theme going on serious
42. [R27] 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…
43. [R112] 3/5 · US Latest update creates low sight difficulties: I’ve enjoyed this game for several years and have played it exclusively on my iPad. It’s been a favorite, relaxing, and well designed, until the most recent update. The latest release significantly reduced the size of the main play board area, making it much harder to see and interact with. As someone with low vision, this change has had a real impact
44. [R118] 3/5 · US New update: I really like this game, and have been playing for some time. There was a new update, and I just did it. I like almost all of the game, but after this new update the merging board (“kitchen”) is really small compared to previously. I find it jarring and it is more difficult to use on my phone. If there could be a setting to change it back that would be great.
45. [R32] 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
46. [R57] 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.
47. [R61] 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
