  1. [R1] FarmVille 3 2/5 · US Too many things.: I wanted to like this game, but tedious is the best word to describe it. The amount of coins earned is laughable, so much that it takes forever to make enough to buy anything. Also, I hate games that use energy. If I’m playing a game, I want to be able to play longer than 5 minutes before having to wait hours to play again. It should be like FarmVille 2 Tropic Escape, which I lov
  2. [R19] FarmVille 3 2/5 · US let’s be real…: i’ve played farmville 3 for 4, 5 years and genuinely enjoy collecting animals and building my farm, but progression has become increasingly frustrating. new workshops and production buildings are extremely expensive, often costing 20,000, 40,000+ coins plus large amounts of materials. it feels like new buildings are introduced faster than players can realistically earn the resources
  3. [R22] FarmVille 3 2/5 · US Fun for a day: Fun game but gets extremely slow very fast. It could be fun, but its clearly designed to entice you to pay to progress. You cant do anything besides wait, impossible to earn gems, and not enough storage. Not worth the download unless you are okay with wasting money to progress
  4. [R24] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Fun, but getting more and more frustrating.: The game is very fun don’t get me wrong, but there are many things that are annoying in the game. Far too many pop-ups, the amount of production buildings they keep adding are SO expensive! The accrual rate of coins is not enough to keep up unless you want to spend a fortune on in-app purchases. Keeping up with expansions, sanctuary, exotic animals and
  5. [R3] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Update woes: After the last update, I’ve not been able to log in. The screen won’t load all the way.
  6. [R12] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Game: I had downloaded this game yesterday was having fun playing it then once I got to level 5 it’s frozen and when I open the app it is frozen to where I left off and I have restarted my phone deleted the app and re downloaded it and nothing seems to be working so I can continue on playing the game
  7. [R15] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Love the game until…: Loved playing the game but when I got to the part where we go to the cave it freezes and it won’t let me click anything I’ve restarted and updated and it’s still doing the same thing and now I can no longer play because it forces me to go there
  8. [R16] FarmVille 3 1/5 · US 6 meses: Tengo ya 6 meses sin poder entrar al juego
  9. [R29] FarmVille 3 4/5 · US Simplify your tutorial please.: I feel like I spend more time clicking through explanations on how to play than I do playing. I love the game but for the love of the game give us an option to skip so we can play the damn game.
  10. [R39] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US good when you can play it: i have had enough of unskipable dialogue and forced tutorials for “special events” that i have to play a little of before i can finally get to the main game. it’s a fine enough game but for a game like this once it’s loaded i should be able to get to the main gameplay in under 30 seconds max NO exceptions.
  11. [R43] FarmVille 3 1/5 · US Get real: Stop forcing me to do something I don’t want to do. I’m not getting paid for anything of this!
  12. [R46] FarmVille 3 1/5 · US Forced BS: You are forced to sit through so many mini game tutorials and ads. This game has become absolutely ridiculous. It is not worth the headache.
  13. [R7] FarmVille 3 1/5 · US Worst customer service ever: Beware if u purchase anything. U will pay for something u will never receive. Customer service is a bot. I got better things to do with my time than going back and forth having same conversation with bot. Problem never solved. They don’t care.
  14. [R27] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Transparency and Evasiveness: CS very evasive on answering direct questions when issues arise. More than a dozen back and forth messages with CS and still no answers. While game is free, many in app purchases are needed to level up. Constant events do keep it interesting, that is if you spend enough money to purchase upgrades. If you don’t, you’ll be last in line for the updates everyone else gets
  15. [R6] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Need new stuff: Need new decorations and trees. Need ability to breed new animals.
  16. [R10] FarmVille 3 2/5 · US Needs new things: I love playing this game. It needs new games , animals and food the amounts of items to cook are way to high. It is getting boring doing same thing all the time. Special events we can’t get gifts because you either want to many things made or time runs out.
  17. [R37] FarmVille 3 1/5 · US Game play: To much to do all at once .. can’t advance fast enough. Game got very boring and was so repetitive that the fun was gone. You can’t win bigger prizes unless you spend a ton of money
  18. [R42] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Several issues: The free spins on the wheel never work. There is too much emphasis on paying to play. There is too much lag time with nothing to do unless you pay to play which isn’t an option for everyone. I don’t like losing the animals almost immediately and the inability to continue to breed. They could breed 2-5 times before retiring. The only way to upgrade your silo and barn is by buying pa
  19. [R45] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Cute but slow: I like this game because the animals are cute and the farm looks nice. It is relaxing and fun at the beginning. But I don’t like that it takes a long time to finish things. The energy runs out fast and it can get boring for a while. Overall, it’s a good game but needs to be faster.
  20. [R52] Brain Test 5/5 · US Really fun but to many adds: I rated this five stars so it would show up at the front burst anyway I really like this game it’s just after every single level there’s an add. It really annoys me. Plus lust to make the adds go away they try to make you pay. This is going to be a short review because I have somewhere to be
  21. [R54] Brain Test 1/5 · US Should be called ad test: Hard to get any sort of rhythm going when every single level ends with an ad. Any chance at enjoying the game is immediately squashed when you force ads interrupting the game play. Instant uninstall after 6 levels smh. When will devs learn
  22. [R56] Brain Test 3/5 · US Emmyaliceannssis: Okay guys y’all need to download this amazing game. I’ve gotten to level 46 in 1 and a half days this game is so fun
  23. [R57] Brain Test 1/5 · US Too many ads: This is ༺MikePittsFanGirl༻ here to say that there are too many ads after 1-2 levels
  24. [R65] Hay Day 1/5 · US Overwhelming Update: I have been playing this game since 2013 but the recent update might be the end of my journey. I get very motion sick and the new animations may kill my heyday enjoyment. With each event having its own icon and taking you to a new page when you click it, its feels like i’m constantly being dragged across the farm. The neighborhood nurture event that rushes across the screen is
  25. [R69] Hay Day 5/5 · US 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
  26. [R70] Hay Day 3/5 · US Updates: I wish I would stop with the unnecessary updates. I’ve had the game 10+ years and I do like it, but I don’t know why the design for things have to change so much. Like why change the design for the orders board and why change how the boat works. Lecture add more buildings for us to buy, but I don’t know why the design has changed. I also wish the bushes that are supposed to attract butter
  27. [R75] Hay Day 5/5 · US Andi’s farm: LOVE the game❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have been playing with my cousins brother and friends since like 2019 and I love it. The best thing NO ADS!!!!! I just wish it was easier to get diamonds, other wise I think you should get it. And it’s great for all ages and easy to play!!!!
  28. [R79] Offline Games 2/5 · US Ads continuously pop up: Decent games, but the ads pop up constantly in the middle of playing the games. It didn’t use to be like this. I didn’t mind the ads between levels or watching an ad for a hint, but this now totally sucks.
  29. [R80] Offline Games 5/5 · US 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!
  30. [R81] Offline Games 3/5 · US Long ads: I close your app and reopen it after every game. 5 seconds to reload app versus 60 seconds unskipable game ad.
  31. [R82] Offline Games 1/5 · US Lies: When I got it looked it doesn’t have 1000 games p
  32. [R14] FarmVille 3 5/5 · US Fun to Farm: I have been playing since the 1st FarmVille! I still Subscribe to FarmVille 2. FarmVille 3 is my 2nd favorite game ! 2nd only to FarmVille 2
  33. [R93] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US 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
  34. [R95] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
  35. [R108] Klondike Adventures 4/5 · US Pretty good👍: This game is pretty fun but you run out of energy pretty fast and please please please take this into consideration, this game is NOTHING like the ads or how it looks like on the apps icon. Once you run out of energy it’s pretty hard to get it back without paying for it. But overall it’s a pretty good game and it’s pretty fun. There are also mini games that are very fun but maybe mak
  36. [R109] Klondike Adventures 3/5 · US Good game but…..: Too many ads. Some ads require exiting game to get back to the game.
  37. [R110] Klondike Adventures 1/5 · US It’s a lie: Nothing like the ad. Don’t bother! So dumb
  38. [R111] Klondike Adventures 4/5 · US Fun game to many adds: It’s fun when you can play but you have to watch 4-5 adds in a row for any rewards wich are not worth the time you spend watching the adds
  39. [R36] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US This game is tightly controlled: This is a really fun game, but so tightly controlled to make you spend money. You can’t enjoy playing if you don’t have barn storage. So they withhold the tools needed to enlarge your barn in an effort to make you purchase the tools. After while the game isn’t fun any longer, it’s just a constant struggle trying to get rid of items for storage. The game has constan
  40. [R18] FarmVille 3 3/5 · US Dealer scout is forcing me to like spend money: I can’t get away from the dealer scout if I wanted to . I can’t click on multiple buildings now it just always has an arrow trying to make me buy gems for the next dealer scout pack which I don’t wanna do
