FarmVille 3

Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

FarmVille 3 offers nostalgic farming fun, but frequent bugs, aggressive monetization, and slow progression without spending money make it a questionable value for many players.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $99.99 4.7★ lifetime (81,801) since 2021

FarmVille 3 provides an engaging farm simulation experience reminiscent of older FarmVille titles, with cute animals and various events R9R12R16. However, the game is plagued by numerous bugs, freezes, and crashes, along with constant pressure to make in-app purchases to progress or expand storage R1R2R4R8. Many players find the free-to-play experience frustrating due to slow advancement and limited energy, while paid players report issues with customer service and unfair pricing R4R8R22R123.

Free vs paid

The free version of FarmVille 3 allows players to build and manage a farm, collect animals, and participate in events R16R85. However, free players often face significant limitations, including very slow progression, insufficient coins to buy necessary buildings, extremely limited storage space for barn and silo items, and a quickly depleting energy system that restricts playtime to short bursts R4R18R22R66. Many free players feel constantly pushed to spend money to overcome these obstacles R1R22R32. Paid players can accelerate progress, expand storage, and access certain event rewards R64. However, some who make purchases report issues with not receiving items, poor customer service, and even dynamic pricing where items become more expensive after initial purchases R8R11R123. There are also complaints that making purchases reduces free spin rewards R58.

  1. [R1] 1/5 · US Just want you to spend money: Super buggy, constant pop ups Asking you to spend money, always some sort of angle trying to force you to spend money
  2. [R22] 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
  3. [R32] 1/5 · US Don’t do it: Money pit not able to keep playing for free
  4. [R55] 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
  5. [R4] 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
  6. [R18] 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
  7. [R62] 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
  8. [R66] 1/5 · US 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.
  9. [R82] 1/5 · US 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.
  10. [R89] 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
  11. [R201] 3/5 · US Cash grab: I’d rather just buy a game than be blocked from enjoying one at every turn because they purposefully make the barn too small to store the necessary items to play.
  12. [R97] 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.
  13. [R129] 3/5 · US Fun Game!: Fun games, I will say, it takes WAY to much energy to do things, without enough earned in return, I feel like I can only play for 5 min MAX!
  14. [R172] 3/5 · US Enjoying it to an extent: Game is fine reminds me of the old days. only thing is the wait time for crops to grow and energy for you to clean up your farm takes to long to regenerate.
  15. [R8] 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.
  16. [R64] 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
  17. [R80] 4/5 · US 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.
  18. [R137] 3/5 · US 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
  19. [R123] 3/5 · US Pros and cons: Pros: the game is intense and fun! It will keep you engaged. The graphics are beautiful! Cons: it is expensive. When you first buy gems and stuff, it starts off low priced but once you spend money, it will get higher and higher. The same package for someone who doesn’t spend money, will be $4.99 while if you have spent money, it will cost you $19.99! Be careful how much you spend be
  20. [R58] 3/5 · US ElizaDarcy: I’ve started playing this game a few months into COVID-19 epidemic. When you are a new player, you get 15-20 spins on an advertisement board and collect lots of gifts daily, BUT if you make a purchase ever, you will only get 8 spins from that day forward. So don’t make purchases. You will end up with 40 of an animal you don’t want. I have over 60 goats I can’t get rid of or sell, you h
  21. [R10] 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.
  22. [R56] 1/5 · US Not worth the time or money: The game malfunctions daily. I constantly lose my progress due to the game closing out. It’s redundant game play and the rewards are not worth it. The cost of monthly passes is a rip off. Zynga support is a joke. The VIP experience is disgraceful and exploitative. I can understand why so many players I’ve played with for almost 5 years are quitting. I’m next to delete
  23. [R9] 5/5 · US Addicting: I love this game!!!! I play for hours every day. This is literally the best game I’ve ever played, no doubt.
  24. [R73] 5/5 · US 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

  27. [R16] 5/5 · US 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
  28. [R75] 5/5 · US Best Ever: Listen I was an original FarmVille player and I loved it then. Love this game always something to keep you engaged. I just wish we could get back into our original farms lol!

  31. [R85] 5/5 · US 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
  32. [R33] 5/5 · US 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
  33. [R77] 5/5 · US No ads: The fact that this game has no ads makes it 100x better
  34. [R2] 3/5 · US Bug: I think there’s a bug. My game freezes almost immediately after opening it.
  35. [R14] 1/5 · US 6 meses: Tengo ya 6 meses sin poder entrar al juego
  36. [R25] 1/5 · US 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
  37. [R59] 1/5 · US 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?
  38. [R42] 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.
  39. [R51] 2/5 · US 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
  40. [R53] 1/5 · US 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.
  41. [R11] 1/5 · US 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
