- [R1] FarmVille 2 No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
- [R3] FarmVille 2 Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
- [R4] FarmVille 2 Problem connecting: Since the update at beginning of July, the game doesn’t connect to Facebook, and no pictures of coop available and just acting buggy in game. Is this being worked on to fix?
- [R5] FarmVille 2 Love it: I would have had put 5 stars but I have been unable to connect to my facebook for about 3 days and it effects the global shop
- [R12] FarmVille 2 Pop ups!: You have to many pop ups every time you open the game to play. It is very frustrating and you need to change that. sometimes I just back out of the game because I’m tired of closing them down all the time!
- [R43] FarmVille 2 Too many pop-ups at game start: Every time I open the game there are 4-5 pop ups for events that have to be closed.
- [R24] FarmVille 2 Play to win and tedious: I find it hard to enjoy this game fully. You’re expected to have an absurd amount of keys for most items you wish to get for your farm that are hard to obtain without watching over 400 ads (literally as that’s what it costs to just get a dog) or otherwise buy them with your real life money. It feels very pay to win. Then there’s the fact so many tasks require hours to comp
- [R30] FarmVille 2 Special Events!!!: I am about ready to delete this game! I enjoy playing it but they make it so hard (without spending money) to complete the special events! Your not guaranteed a needed item when completing a craft BUT the game should not give you random items 3 to 4 times or more in a row when it is so hard to make the items needed to hopefully get the needed item!!! I have wasted too much ti
- [R34] FarmVille 2 Greedy companies: Your taking the fun out of playing games because of your corporate greed
- [R36] FarmVille 2 Lost Perks: Marcos Mart requires you to spend keys on each tier… some tasks end before you can complete them and move on to the next tier. One task was complete 8 boat orders in the race. The race ended befor I could complete them. I still have 7 hours to complete it but the next race doesn’t start for another 22 hour. Why even make that a task if it’s going to cause a bottle neck. I purchased and
- [R9] FarmVille 2 Glitches: There are so many glitches now the game used to be better. and place for years now I can’t even log into Facebook and I tried everything.
- [R19] FarmVille 2 fix it!: i don’t know why i cant touch it. the game freeze on my ipad and even on my phone! its js producing sounds!
- [R21] FarmVille 2 help😭: i love this game, however, lately when i try to play it i don’t get past the loading screen before it freezes and kicks me out or has me on there for HOURS on end. is there anything i can do? the game is updated to the most recent update, i’ve attempted to restart my device, and im unsure what else to do
- [R18] FarmVille 2 Back out option!: This game is really fun! I love playing it. But they need a back out or cancel button something like that because I hate when I accidentally click an event, but I didn’t mean to start and it won’t let you cancel it. It forces you to play that event whether you want to or not. Then you end up with a bunch of junk and you’re barn full for no reason. And it also makes you waste keys
- [R51] Township Fake: Game is not at all what it is advertised to be.
- [R52] Township Other than this it’s a great game: This is probably one of the most addicting games I’ve ever played. It’s so fun to level up and chat with friends. I just don’t like that you have to wait four minutes until you can join another team. If it happened to township the why doesn’t it happen on fishdom. On township it shows how many people are online and on Fishdom it doesn’t. You don’t even have to wa
- [R53] Township Meh: Could do better just saying, and also stop showing the mini games in the ads
- [R55] Township Great game: Great game butNOTHING LIKE THE AD!! NOTHING. I don’t know y it’s like that. I’ve been playing for about 2years. I love this game. Challenging, great graphics. I play every day so it bothers me that the ad shows one thing and the game is another. I don’t get it. But great game nonetheless
- [R17] FarmVille 2 FarmVille 2 country escape: I have played farm games before, but this country escape is very realistic. I love how it can teach the littles what animal eats which food and how much work it takes to keep a farm up and running. Might i suggest a bit of adventure for our creatures if we dont keep them fenced in.
- [R26] FarmVille 2 FV escape: I’ve been playing this game from the start.. totally love this game.. keeps me relaxed when I’m stressed lol
- [R66] Hay Day Freeze Loading the game: Hi The game not playing on my phone (iPhone 8) and my daughter’s phone (iPhone 16). Loading the game stop in half of its run
- [R69] Hay Day Hay day: A great game especially if you are in the middle of a bad day or something like that but I think you should try this out before you say something bad about it
- [R79] Count Masters Good game, but…: An ad every time a level is completed 🙄
- [R80] Count Masters It’s quite fun: It’s really quite fun. It’s too bad that there’s so many and so long of other game ads they try to get you to purchase.
- [R81] Count Masters ADDS!!!!!!: Way to many adds but it was still fun I guess 😒
- [R83] Count Masters Fun but…: The game is fun! But there’s adds
- [R94] Offline Games Offline Games: No WiFi needed and ads are completely optional! No fees necessary! Ads are only involved if you die in a game and want to rebirth yourself or something. Contains all the best classic games like sudoku, hearts, and even flappy dunk!
- [R98] Offline Games Love this: I love this game I’m. Kinda addicted to.
- [R102] Offline Games Me: ITS A FUN ADDICTIVE GAME. Perfect to play on an airplane if you don’t want to pay for WiFi 😂
- [R104] Offline Games Offline games honest review: I love this game it kept me occupied for hours on a road trip! Definitely recommend for an alternative for scrolling!
- [R107] Marble Master ZumA: zuma is back with 30x more ads. Remember back in the day you would buy a PC DISK with 0 ads RIP music was better then too
- [R108] Marble Master Advertising: I like the game, but the length of the advertisements are ridiculous!
- [R109] Marble Master Limited time add free: I paid eventually for a deal that included add free but I only enjoyed it for what seemed like a month now the adds are back so that’s annoying it’s a monthly cost for add free, other games it’s a one time fee I dont know why this one is different but now I know
- [R110] Marble Master If you like to watch ads: Seriously I like the game but oh my, the ads. And I’m not talking just occasional, after EVERY game and some ads are 3-5 minutes. Other games I play may be a 30 second ad…not this one. I end up losing points because as soon as I finish a game, I close out just so I won’t have to watch another ad. Great game but the ads are killing it for me.
