1. [R3] DragonVale 3/5 · US Takes too long: I can see why I didn’t play this game for too long when I first installed it. I redownloaded this game on a bored whim, saw I had no progression beyond having only one dragon, and decided to give it another try. And honestly, this game is ridiculous towards new players. It shouldn’t take twelve hours to breed what are basically the beginner dragons, and another twelve to hatch them
2. [R6] DragonVale 3/5 · US The game lied to me…: Having to wait multiple days or spend money on gems is stupid and makes people quit. I like collecting the dragons tho. HOWEVER!… I used Bahamut and rolled a 19 which says it’ll let me get a free level for my dragon. I am not farming 5 million food to get my Earth Dragon from 19 to 20 just to have to get 8 million to get from 20 to 21. A 19 roll says it’ll give him a free lev
3. [R19] DragonVale 2/5 · US Nothing to Do: I really love the idea of breeding and collecting dragons, but as a beginner player there is really not a lot to do. I got a few dragons, but don’t have room to expand and I need an exorbitant amount of gems to do anything. I only check in once or twice a day and it feels like I’ll never get anywhere unless I spend money. There needs to be more incentive for a new player to play fre
4. [R23] DragonVale 4/5 · US Pretty good except for one thing.: Like the title suggests, this game is pretty good except for the fact that it progresses quite slowly once you have higher levels, and mostly depends on you spending actual money on items since it is a mobile game and is required to have transactions to make money. Also the advertisements can be weirdly suggestive, even if you are set to a younger age, BUT it pr
5. [R9] DragonVale 3/5 · US Great game but stopped loading: I loved playing this game but it stopped loading on my devices for some reason and I have tried everything to fix it but nothing worked
6. [R12] DragonVale 3/5 · US Great game: Used to love playing this game , but sadly can’t get past the loading screen for ages now so
7. [R16] DragonVale 1/5 · US Latest Update: The latest update sucks! Keeps logging me out! Please fix this!
8. [R21] DragonVale 3/5 · US What happened?: Used to love this game, and reached level 180 or 185. Today I opened it after a long time, and the game is almost unplayable! Elements are scrambled, many dragons are constructed of text, and the images are often checkerboards. It’s nearly impossible to play the game. Coins and gems look normal, and a few characters can be seen wandering the paths, but other characters are only gra
9. [R1] DragonVale 1/5 · US charged me WAY too much: I've been playing dragonvale since I was a little kid, and I just recently downloaded it again because my family members still play it, and I was bored. I made a purchase of $4.99, and obviously tax comes with it too, but I was charged $8.45. Huh..? I'm a teenager so I have like NO money, but thank god that was actually in my account. I have nowhere to get actual support be
10. [R4] DragonVale 1/5 · US Piggy Bank: I purchased the PiggyBank and never received my reward. Support is impossible to get in touch with.
11. [R15] DragonVale 3/5 · US A little too gem greedy: This game is cute and all, but it goes a little too gem heavy with almost everything being needed to bought with PAID gems. Maybe the game gets a little more generous as time goes on and offers gems as rewards for things, but I’m level 13 and it’s not looking too generous at the moment. I’d be more inclined to buy gems if the game wasn’t so stingy with them.
12. [R20] DragonVale 4/5 · US To expensive: Love the game but everything is to expensive please put a sale I really want the rainbow dragon but around 50 to 60 and I don’t have enough gems so it is expensive to buy
13. [R7] DragonVale 1/5 · US Ads not appropriate for children: We played this as a family, and good thing too. The ads start off innocent, and then grow more and more suggestive and inappropriate. So disappointing.
14. [R22] DragonVale 1/5 · US Political Injection: Thought I’d revisit a game I played many years ago as a kid; first thing I see is a bunch of wizards carrying around pride flags. Why must we inject political messages into all media? Mashallah the West corrupts all good things
15. [R24] DragonVale 3/5 · US Ai update screen: Loved this game since I was like 10 so I’ll genuinely miss it, we had a good run. Thanks for the game you used to make, sorry to see it drink the kool aid like the rest of them.
16. [R36] DragonVale 3/5 · GB Played for many years…..now bored.: This was a great game. Played it for many years. But it has become very formulaic, verging on boring….. Play less and less these days.
17. [R13] DragonVale 1/5 · US Played since 2012: Genuinely horrible. So many issues top to bottom. DragonCity in my opinion is way better. The races are the best part and they suck. You can have the elements correct and hit all perfects and still lose. Why play a game ur destined to lose. No point. Dragon city lets you battle. Use ur dragons and much more. DragonVale I wish upgraded but it’s the same as it was in 2012
18. [R51] Dragon City 1/5 · US Meh: It was fun for a little bit but it’s dead now no one is on and it’s boring if they could add more to alliances it would be cool
19. [R53] Dragon City 3/5 · US Stop: Stop forcing people to do what you’re tutorial says it should be optional
20. [R54] Dragon City 1/5 · US I can’t summon while others can: Please fix this, this will stay a 1 start till it goes away if I still play it.
21. [R65] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US AI Slop Ads: YOUR AI SLOP ADVERTISEMENTS DISGUST ME
22. [R66] Merge Dragons! 5/5 · US Awesome game pros and cons mostly pros: This game is amazing! I have had it for years and i never get bored of it if you are looking for some way to pass the time i recommend it for you i LOVE it, the only con is that the dragons take their sweet time to wake up when they they are sleeping this game takes a while for them to wake up and for you to be able to do little missions.
23. [R67] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Gg: A genuinely good game if you can get past the micro transactions!
24. [R68] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US No New Levels: Are you ever going to add new levels? Just say if you are or you aren’t so I’ll know to delete this game or not.
25. [R79] Dragon Mania Legends 2/5 · US Terrible game support: Love the game played since I was 12 but my account was linked through Facebook so I have no way of retaining my old account, contacted support and still have heard nothing after weeks of waiting
26. [R81] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US It's okay: It's really annoying sometimes when you can't get in on the first try; you have to wait a bit. Also, you need a lot of money. · translated
27. [R82] Dragon Mania Legends 1/5 · US Insane Ads: This game was fun years ago, but redownloading it was sad. The amount of ads is like Times Square. Click into something, ad. Click out of something, ad. The fight map scene animation has an ad square in the middle of it. The home islands have ads all over them. The store now has more icons to buy with real money than game money. You have to scroll past all of it to get to the in-game
28. [R84] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US Can this bug be fixed somehow?!: After I received a dragon fragment as a reward, nothing works, nothing clicks. I exit, re-enter the game, click on completed tasks again, and this stupid map pops up again, and it's a loop. I'm upset. · translated
29. [R93] Dragons 1/5 · US Been playing since the first.: Now it’s so glitchy it won’t open!
30. [R94] Dragons 4/5 · US audio problem: weird audio problem. there is a strange noise in the background playing at all times and the music cuts in and out rapidly. it’s not my device, it’s this specific game.
31. [R95] Dragons 3/5 · US Good but stop changing mechanics and just add: So this is honestly a really good game, but I came back after not playing for a year roughly, and find out that Brawls are different. And different for the worst. I get put against opponents that have grades 6-8 while I have one grade 6 and then the rest are 3 or less. And then I don’t know what happened but all my grades got dropped horribly. My cham
32. [R96] Dragons 1/5 · US loading issue: for some reason, i can’t get into the game, it freezes whenever i try and it only ever happens with rise of berk. it just stops loading on the loading screen. i cant access the game. please help
33. [R106] Dragons 4/5 · US Love it…but: I LOVE THE GAME…but I wish you could turn the fish to would or wood to fish
34. [R107] Hungry Dragon 1/5 · US BEWARE: Once you buy something, and uninstall the game, Ubisoft doesn’t save that information. I purchased a dragon, and can’t use it on my new phone. This has happened with every phone I have redownloaded this game on. I have always had to start from scratch. For that reason, making you rebuy stuff, not saving your info / progress, AND having the worst customer suppor, I recommend you downl
35. [R108] Hungry Dragon 4/5 · US Slade: It’s ok I had it before i loved then but it can get boring you should get it play with friends or siblings
36. [R109] Hungry Dragon 3/5 · US Good game, but I’m a little sad.: PROS: the game is fun and their admin community is always working hard. I played hungry shark beforehand and was inspired to join this game me personally i literally LOVE dragons I would recommend this game to all the dragon members out there. CONS: now unfortunately I have to say this but there is a massive problem that is with both this game an
37. [R70] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Way too time consuming: Really fun at first, after a week it becomes way too tedious and felt like a chore and lacked any rewarding feeling
38. [R72] Merge Dragons! 5/5 · US So much fun!!: This game is so fun, I love it. Here is a helpful hint for you newcomers. Rather than just merging 3 items, try merging 8. When you merge 8, you get 3 new items. You can set your camp to let you do even bigger merges. Just turn off auto-merge.
39. [R34] DragonVale 1/5 · US Purchasing items: This game is absolutely horrible about taking my money and not giving me what I bought and honestly I find it disgusting they would scam and profit off of people who just want to play childhood games if you download don’t buy anything
40. [R37] DragonVale 1/5 · US Offerwall is a scam: Offerwall games will mark rewards as achieved/rewarded but will not actually provide gems. DragonVale support and Tapjoy support are both impossible to contact… don’t waste your time playing.
