Who it's for
FarmVille 3 is for players who enjoy classic farm simulation games, appreciate cute animal graphics, and are looking for an engaging, potentially addictive game to build and manage a virtual farm R6R13. It might appeal to those who don't mind a slower progression pace or are willing to make in-app purchases to speed things up R19R63. It is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by frequent technical glitches, aggressive monetization tactics, constant pop-ups, or unresponsive customer service R5R22R50.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative (43.8% negative), which contrasts with the lifetime rating of 4.65. This indicates a downward trajectory in user satisfaction, suggesting that recent updates or changes have introduced new problems or exacerbated existing ones. Many complaints about glitches and monetization are very recent.

- [R2] Always there for me!!: Absolutely recommend this game!!
- [R6] Addicting: I love this game!!!! I play for hours every day. This is literally the best game I’ve ever played, no doubt.
- [R9] Farmy: Really takes me back to the ol FarmVille days on Facebook, love it!
- [R10] 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
- [R13] Great Game!: Okay, so I love farm simulator games and I used to play this when it was a Facebook game so I was immediately intrigued. I was playing Sunshine Island, still do a little, but ever since I started playing this, sunshine island who? The animals are so cute and I do love that you can grow them up instantly. Some of the products take awhile to complete, but that’s with any game like this
- [R30] Farmville Three’s puppy farm 😍🐶no unicorn’s🦄 😞: I like the game but it needs wifi good that there are no adds my friends in the game like it a lot my later for the game because I like it so bye!!! I wish it had unicorn’s but I love the new little puppy’s that were just added to the game cute puppy’s 🐶 well thanks for putting them in bye bye
- [R54] Wonderful game with lots of Fun: It is beautiful game with lot of features and option buyand sell options, can make big network with neighbouring farms with exciting features . the graphics are so perfect that you feel asxwe play in real farm.
- [R94] 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.
- [R61] 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
- [R70] finally a game to be addicted to: i LOVE this game. gosh. it’s been so long since i have been addicted to a game like this. i play it everyday. i love it soo much. i wish there were some changes though: 1. i think the timing of the truck orders is way too long, it’s kinda annoying. i like how the animal quests is only 3 seconds. 2. the storage gets filled up SO quickly! i have bought gems b
- [R74] No ads: The fact that this game has no ads makes it 100x better
- [R82] Community and Choice: You have community in this game; if you choose it. You can also choose which parts of the game you want to play. You can still play, even if you don’t want to play all the pieces. It also allows you to continue playing, even if you don’t pay money. It also lets you choose if you want to watch the ads or not. I like all these things about it! Oh my other favorite things are my
- [R11] 6 meses: Tengo ya 6 meses sin poder entrar al juego
- [R14] Classic: Farmville in any form is always nostalgic and a classic. It’s a super fun game however I will say that the exotic animals map often has quite a few glitches. I often can’t go and get the different fruit because it’ll say I don’t have any animals to do so when I do. And you also have to let the exotic animals farm load for between one and two minutes before you can actually click on anythi
- [R21] Pup race no good: I play this game daily and enjoy it, but I can’t play at all right now, because every time I try to play, it gets stuck in the pup race and won’t let me do anything at all. Please fix this.
- [R22] Want to play but glitchy: I want to play but despite having space and a great internet connection it glitches from time to time. I wish I could just skip tutorials on new things and just play. I just reached level 22 this evening and the damn animal sanctuary keeps freezing the game. I can’t unlock anything, can’t x out. Can’t leave the game. Have to force close after waiting several minutes and t
- [R1] 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
- [R4] Dog rescue game: I used to like the dog and cat rescue game but this time the number of items required to clear each section has gone up so much it’s going to be impossible to finish. I’ll never pay to access the upgraded features of this part of the game again.
- [R15] 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
- [R19] 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
- [R17] 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.
- [R31] Get real: Stop forcing me to do something I don’t want to do. I’m not getting paid for anything of this!
- [R39] 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.
- [R48] Game is ok, the start up stinks: I remember playing FarmVille when it first came out a long time ago lol. It’s very different now but fun and fitting for mobile device playtime. I wish there weren’t so many popups every time I log in, it already takes a long time to load, and then I feel overwhelmed by several pop ups that I have to quit out of or get pulled into a mandatory tutorial conversatio
- [R5] 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.
- [R77] Glitches and lack of support: The game is fun and engaging. Having said that there are often glitches, when reported the issues a rarely addressed. I have many times lost progress in tasks, time and resources lost. It’s extremely hard to reach customer service. It’s just a game but when you invest your time it should be supported.
- [R134] Instablooms don’t show up: I love this game and would rate it higher, but my co-op is having issues with multiple people on our teams not receiving instablooms with our level ups, as well as the instabloom box just disappearing from our screens. It’s a recurring glitch that needs to be fixed. Your support line does not respond adequately
- [R79] Money grab game: I spend my time making things only to be told that my barn or silo are full. Takes days and days to collect enough items for an upgrade. I know the game makers want to sell me the needed supplies but I will not spend real money. There are plenty of games that I can play FREE, thank you. And I don’t want to be in a ‘co- op.’ Enjoy it yourselves.
- [R86] 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
- [R7] 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.
- [R27] 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
- [R8] Phone calls?!: You have GOT to be kidding me right now!! This is the second time I’ve had a PHONE CALL from you guys promoting your game?! WTAF! I am trying so hard to not drop curse words right now because y’all have CROSSED THE LINE! You have ZERO right to call me; ESPECIALLY about trying to convince me to spend money on your game! I have dropped a LOT of money and there is no reason to phone st
- [R75] Lots of Notifications: So I got this app and it’s a pretty good app, but it keeps notifying me in the middle of the night, and I don’t like it I turned the notifications off and it still keeps notifying me and it just Happened to me now. Can you please fix this? Thank you for reading my review.
- [R45] Buggy: Township ads do not let you close and require a full restart. Please remove them or fix them.
- [R49] Ads: Ads will not give you the x to close out. FIX THIS!
- [R50] Too Many Pop Ups: This app has too many pop up. There’s a full minute of them before you even get to the game and you can’t close out of them. If I could post the video I took of all of them I would.
- [R68] Bombarded with pop-ups: This game would be better if you weren’t bombarded with pops-ups for their ads and events that are going on and what event ended. You can’t close some of these out. Then more info pop ups and this is in little blurbs so you have to tap and tap again to get through this one because again, can’t close it out. It is not fun when you open a game and have to tap and tap and tap
- [R29] Don’t do it: Money pit not able to keep playing for free
- [R63] Another app designed to have to spend $$$ to advance: I wanted to like this. But the reward for the amount of hours I’ve spent is pitiful. Silo and barn fills but no way to upgrade unless real $ is spent. No real movement in a weeks time. Removing app and looking for a more friendly game.
- [R24] Update woes: After the last update, I’ve not been able to log in. The screen won’t load all the way.
- [R44] Booo! I did the REQUIRED update and now it won’t load.: I did the required update on my game (which was loading perfectly) and now it won’t load. The loading screen and the spinning wheel of time just stays up.
- [R56] Fix your glitches: It’s so dissapointed to try to play and can’t even acces the game. There’s no word from Zynga about all the glitches this game have carried since launch, forever beta, How do you expect someone to expend any money on your games anymore?
- [R3] Hi: I love this game but I don’t like how many updates we have .
- [R23] This game just lost 2 of the 3 stars…: This new update is trash. My game now lags badly, it starts acting jittery and tries locking up anytime I try to move to different sections one the farm,and workshop and cook station item options won’t load. Never mind the fact that 10 minutes in the game fighting with all that and it DRAINED my batter 10%. Just stop ruining the game.
