1. [R2] 5/5 · US Awesome game!: Just started a new account after not playing for a couple years. I love this game and it brings back great memories. There are a couple of QoL changes I think would make the game a lot better. First is just overall performance (making game load faster/offerwall updating faster). Another thing is fixing the UI. Being able to scroll faster through the various menus would be nice and I
2. [R8] 5/5 · US My childhood: I loved this game when I was younger and I still love it now that I’ve revisited it
3. [R31] 5/5 · US Timeless: I have been playing DragonVale for as long as I can remember. Definitely back when I was in middle or high school and now I’m going to higher education and I still have this game and I love it. Please don’t ever go away. Also the soundtrack is divine!! I listen to it on Spotify all the time 🥰🫶🏽
4. [R35] 5/5 · US YES: This game is so much nostalgia…
5. [R10] 5/5 · US Great dragon game: This is a really fun dragon game where you get to collect and breed many dragons and see your park grow and thrive. Don’t buy dragons for lots of gems in the marketplace, though, you can breed all dragons and also many of them can be found in events and bought for event currency! Very fun game. :)
6. [R24] 5/5 · US my favorite game: i absolutely adore this game, it’s got fun undates and plenty of dragons/ pedestals & decor you can collect! I played as a child and recently re-got the game and it saved all my progress and i STILL have lots of personal goals within it. I log on at least once everyday to check on my virtual friend dragons !
7. [R28] 5/5 · US DragonVale lover: This game is awesome! Whenever you need to get something off your shoulders like stress this game can change the stress to happiness. The game makes you r always in ant to keep your laying cause of all the cut dragons you can get from the market. If you don’t have this game do load it now its not t a robot review it is amazingly increadable!!!!!!
8. [R34] 5/5 · US Love all Dragons: Every dragon in the game is fun and unique. I am currently on level 38 (I think) and I have so many dragons. The difficulty is perfect but my suggestion is that you should have more types of epic dragons. Like the gemstone spring has only 4 dragons. I know adding more may make the epic dragons not so epic anymore but more of them would be nice.
9. [R7] 5/5 · US Very cute but they need redesigh: I love the dragons but they coula use a redesigh. Some if thème are cute but some are reasonably wierd…but i really love this game
10. [R43] 5/5 · US this game is so fun: I like the glacier dragon. It’s so fat and silly I love this game.
11. [R3] 3/5 · US Great game: Used to love playing this game , but sadly can’t get past the loading screen for ages now so
12. [R9] 1/5 · US 15 minute load time: With WI-FI, full bare service or both, you have to wait 15-20 minutes just to load in.
13. [R12] 5/5 · US Love game but it’s not working right now: I love this game I log in every day, but right now it’s not working. I try to open the app and it won’t let me. I click the app and it opens the DECA screen for a second and then closes. Is this something that can be fixed? I LOVE this game and would love to continue to play it. Please please PLEASE tell me it will work again! 😭😭😭😭😭
14. [R21] 2/5 · US Won’t work: I’ve been playing this game for years and all of a sudden I cannot open to game. I have updated my phone, reset it, deleted and updated the app, but to no avail my app still crashes anytime I try to even open the game. I don’t understand what happened but it’s very annoying!
15. [R52] 2/5 · US It takes forever: It takes me like, a full 6 minutes to load my park. And I love the game but it takes FOREVER to open everytime which makes me wanna not play.
16. [R113] 2/5 · US Doesnt load: The game is fun, but would be way better if the app loaded. Sometimes takes me 5 minutes just for the app to load.
17. [R126] 3/5 · US most breeding/hatching times are WAY too long: I honestly love this game, I’ve been playing since I was a kid and I’m an adult now and still enjoy it. while the game is very fun, it can also be slow to load and the breeding and hatching times are a little crazy. we’re talking 20+ hours waiting for most eggs to hatch when you’re far enough in the game, which seems excessive to me. but overall I wou
18. [R15] 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
19. [R29] 1/5 · US Bad update!!!!!: I just updated my app with three days left in the winter wizorts and I’ve pretty much lost everything!!!!!! I can only see my islands and my breeding incubation times there’s a few spotty graphics!!!! It’s mostly blacked out… this is horrible. I emailed support but who knows how long that will take. I have no way to finish out this event!!!
20. [R49] 5/5 · US Big bags with textures: I played this game for days on end a few years ago. Today I decided to pick it up again and start playing again. However, all my islands were made of various pictures, dragons made of letters and numbers, everything was black, and the minigames were all squares with black and white pixels. But despite the laggy textures, all the features (breeding, the coliseum, etc.) work.
21. [R53] 3/5 · US Would be five stars if it worked right now: I am from a time before the metal dragons. Right now, my game opens, but with everything that ISN’T there I’m shocked it doesn’t crash immediately. Pls help
22. [R1] 1/5 · US Offerwall system doesn’t work: I’ve achieved 3 of the 9 Township goals and have only received the reward for the first. I tried submitting a support case at least 3 times and every time it said the problem was fixed but I still never received the rewards. I also tried email support and never got a response.
23. [R14] 2/5 · US Ads don’t work: This is a great game, but ads never work. This is the only game I have this issue with. It happens on multiple devices. It is a widely reported issue across message boards. The timer runs out and there is no X to exit the ad. I have tried to tap all of the corners, etc. nothing. I have to force quit the game. I am missing daily ad rewards. This needs to be fixed. I will not watch a
24. [R16] 1/5 · US Ads never work: Fix the ads. Don’t put them in the game if they’re constantly not going to work.
25. [R32] 2/5 · US 2 minute ads: This went from one of my favorite games to one I play twice a day. The ads are the problem. You can watch an ad and then get a message saying ‘Sorry, Tolzar turned the wrong dial” and not get the credit, even though you watched the ad. About 2 weeks ago, 2 minute ads started and it takes another 10 seconds for the ‘x’ to work. I know ads are necessary for game play but this game is t
26. [R4] 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.
27. [R5] 3/5 · US Going down….: This has always been my favorite game. Been playing it since it released. However it’s going way down hill… It used to be kind to its players but it’s slowly becoming more and more rigged. It’s not as if people expect to be spoon fed dragons but the breeds have gotten increasingly ridiculous. When I’m Wasting 600 gems trying to speed up the breed of a single dragon and still can’
28. [R18] 1/5 · US Greed: Money hungry, have to wait ridiculous amount of time and only wants youmto buy gems or play a dif game for gems but then takes off the offer so you dont get anything
29. [R66] 4/5 · US Not Enough Gems In The Shop: 100 dollars for 4000 gems! Most of the dragons in the shop cost 1000 or more which means I could only buy two or four dragons. Make the 4000 gems bundle a little cheaper and also add more gems in the bundle at the shop.
30. [R27] 3/5 · US Amazing but it won’t let me update it: This is a good game. With lots of adventures. I’m just wondering why is so hard to get gems. But it’s still an amazing game. And the game still goes whenever you’re not on the screen. But still it is it relaxing and amazing game. And it takes so long for the dragon slayer egg and there’s not a lot of fun things to do on it you have to like wait hours to do so
31. [R82] 2/5 · US Overwhelming: I’ve played this game on and off for years, and I want to love it still. But there are so many dragons and the odds for breeding are so low, so it feels impossible to actually breed them all, which takes the fun out of collecting. And breeding takes so long, and with the odds so low, the game mainly becomes about waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And never getting the dragons you wa
32. [R17] 2/5 · US Needs fix for in-app purchase: Everytime I make an in-app purchase it doesn’t give me the item but I make the purchase again and it goes through. I end up getting charged twice please fix this.
33. [R138] 1/5 · US Purchase Failures: Went to purchase Red Gems TWICE, said “you’re all set” and got two notifications for purchase completed and to wait that “gems will be inserted into your inventory shortly” that was yesterday and still I haven’t gotten a thing. Fix your bug. The app owes me 375 gems.
34. [R46] 4/5 · US Hi I need help fix tutorial: My tutorial is glitched to where I can’t get past the part it gives me three gifts it gets stuck in the screen and I have to close out would really like this fixed so I can play I loved this game as a kid
35. [R123] 2/5 · US It’s mid: The game is actually really fun for an idle time waster. However, the first few hours of the game are a forced tutorial that you cannot skip and is supper boring and not very helpful.
36. [R129] 3/5 · US Broken tutorial: So I decided to start a new island and right after I finish building the breeding cave. It wants me to go to the social tab and when I get there, it wants me to click on the gifts tab. I am already on the gifts tab and no matter how many times I click it, it won’t do anything. I can’t even click anything else and reloading the game doesn’t work
37. [R176] 3/5 · US Nonskipable tutorial: I played this game years ago and decided to redownload it. My old account credentials are long gone since I deleted facebook that was connected to my old account, so I have to start over. You really need to consider adding a skip tutorial button bc 1) I used to play and 2) I don’t like using a tutorial for most games, they’re almost unbearable bc it forces me to spend gems
38. [R11] 5/5 · US Love but: Hard to progress high level
39. [R40] 1/5 · US Crystalline love needed: We need more space for crystalline dragons, a way to get more habitats, the limit is too low. Please add
40. [R101] 1/5 · US Game play miserably slow: It comes off as a disgustingly greedy money grab the way the game play is so slow it’s barely even enjoyable to play. There’s zero incentive to level up after level 50ish. How have you created zero incentives for me to keep playing after we’ve been playing for a decade….? Shows how much you care about your customers and it’s disgusting. I’m considering deleting the game b
41. [R233] 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.
42. [R36] 3/5 · US Seasonal mini games: It seems like it’s very rigged when it comes to the minigames during the seasonal events. The drop game especially has very reactive dots by the big rewards, but the dots near smaller rewards dont react to being touched. It would be more fun if it was actually reflecting players’ skills.
43. [R59] 1/5 · US Help: I am not getting the updates. There is a winter special going on and I am not able to get it.
44. [R61] 1/5 · US Winter wizard spa: It is December 10th and my park still isn’t apart of this event. I am so sad to be missing out on an event even though I am at level 185 and have been a loyal player since high school. My user is butterfly5312, please someone in support fix this :/
45. [R102] 2/5 · US Endless Events: I started this game many years ago, the app claimed you could breed to get the dragons..not so much anymore. It’s losing its entertainment value, used to be fun to log in, now it feels like just another app wanting you to buy, buy, buy. Events now are endless- they’ve lost the “excitement” they once held. And the app itself is glitching more than ever. If you get the reward for gem
46. [R88] 1/5 · US Fix dragon track: How can I explain this every single time I’m in second no matter how many perfect dashes I’m still slower make it make since
47. [R98] 1/5 · US Glitchy races: I can never win in the dragon races. I can only ever get second place even when my dragon has all the right elements and the other dragons are missing an element. It’s very frustrating.
48. [R180] 3/5 · US Racing: I’ve figured your racing is rigged. It has seems that a pure fire dragon is faster than a chikipea dragon in a fire, light, earth, water race. Even though I got all perfects.
49. [R95] 1/5 · US Lost My Park: Let me start by saying that I haven’t played this game in 10 or 11 years. That said, when I was playing regularly I spent a lot of money on this game buying gems. My wife asked me to download the game so we can play together and my park will not load. So I guess the time (and money) I spent building my park, no matter how far back it was, is wasted. Stay away. The developers won’t
50. [R99] 1/5 · US Randomly deleted island: Awesome game! However, in the past i’ve had my islands randomly disappear with me being unable to access them. Upon deleting the app after it disappeared and restarting today, I lost all of my progress. Very sad and disappointing from such a perfect game. Incredibly upset about losing my nearly level 50 island that i’ve put countless hours and days into. Please help.
51. [R255] 3/5 · GB Re-installing: (Skip to the bottom if you want a quicker response) It occurs that when I re-downloaded this game, all my saves weren’t there. According to others they could see all my old things e.g my land places yet I could see that at all. It is still a decent fun game but all of my things have just disappeared. Now I was sure it was a glitch so I left it a few days but nothing has gone back t
52. [R310] 3/5 · GB Amazing game But..: It is great but if you accidentally delete it then you can not get the data back.Like I was on level thirty when I accidentally deleted it. \ / • • ^
53. [R20] 5/5 · US Ads: Not sure if they saw my review but there fixed now
54. [R22] 1/5 · US Mad: Ok so …I wasted all my shards like multiple times in the rift and I keep getting the same dragon over and over again
55. [R86] 1/5 · US offerwall does nothing!: i’m very irritated as i have done a offerwall for almost 2 weeks now and even made a purchase on that game which was supposed to grant me gems and i haven’t gotten a single gem. i even contacted support and they didn’t respond. love the game tho, please fix this bug that’s all i ask.
56. [R105] 1/5 · US Became Pay to play: It was a really fun game for the first 5 years it was out, I played it with my whole family and many random Facebook friends. I kept up with the updates and had a complete collection of all the content as it was coming out. It was a winter event that ruined the game for me, I logged in everyday and collected as many of the events currency’s as I could with in the time frame g
