1. [R2] Lily’s Garden 5/5 · US Cute Game!: This is a fun and entertaining game!
2. [R8] Lily’s Garden 5/5 · US Miss: This is a great game! Very relaxing and a lot of fun. I have it on my iPhone and iPad. I love it
3. [R43] Lily’s Garden 5/5 · US Addictive!: Beautiful graphics, lovely choices to decorate, fantastic story. Some of the mini games can be tough, but it wouldn’t make any sense to play if they all were easy to solve! Love it, BUT it’s such a pain to have to wait a whole week to continue to the next level ! I use the squirrel games between levels to kinda “practice” for the real thing, but sometimes it takes so long to get a n
4. [R65] Small Town Murders 5/5 · US I love it: Great
5. [R3] Lily’s Garden 3/5 · US It’s fun but aggravating because it hangs and crashes.: It seems like some ads are just thrown on the platform with little to zero testing. When you’re playing and have to watch an ad, the ad will stop mid play, and that’s it. You have to cancel out of the game, then start over. Argh!
6. [R10] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US Love it, but ad glitches: I would give it 5 stars, but nearly every 5th or so ad will make it impossible to close out of it- meaning you have to close the game and reopen it to get out. Meaning you ALSO watched the ad for nothing, and can lose coins, or even progress (like watching an ad for +2 moves on a one shot level). This is frustrating enough to dock the review for me.
7. [R70] Small Town Murders 2/5 · US Need to fix: Game would be more enjoyable if it didn’t freeze up all the time. I have high speed Wi-Fi. So I know my connection is not the problem. It’s very annoying when you have almost completed the puzzle and the game freezes up and then kicks out a move that you didn’t make costing you the puzzle and making you start over.
8. [R81] Small Town Murders 3/5 · US Updates are killers: Apple and the developer on game did updates this week. Now the game opens and doesn’t allow any other actions even though it looks as normal. Exhausted with updates breaking more than it fixes in general. What happened to some QA? I guess I will need to abandon this game and move on. Challenging fun prior.
9. [R16] Lily’s Garden 2/5 · US Frequent crashes: The game stops repeatedly and I lose my progress. It is annoying
10. [R28] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US Latest update: Game keeps crashing.
11. [R4] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US This game is designed to steal your money! BEWARE!: It has a great story line so it sucks you. After every try they present you with cheap enough options so you can win. So you click 2.99 then 9.99. Then 14.99 by a he end of the month you have spent well over 100 dollars or more. There is no way to win unless you click and pay. I take responsibility for playing this game and letting them outrigh
12. [R7] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US Money grab: I’ve been playing this game for three years. The graphics are amazing. They changed it up to keep it interesting. Now the bad news, this is ridiculously expensive to play Even the side games, especially merge, works against you, in that not only do you have to earn energy, you have to buy it, and then as you’re playing, they put up obstacles (bubbles were running out of energy again) e
13. [R88] Small Town Murders 1/5 · US Too hard to play without money: This game gives you dead end puzzles over and over unless you are willing to spend money for bonus tools. Don’t waste your time.
14. [R64] Small Town Murders 2/5 · US Disappointing: Now I find that I’m stuck on a level with no boosters and no coins. I find that unless you beat the levels you lose lives and it doesn’t take long to run out of lives. I won’t pay to play. I also find that I accidentally use coins because the button is where I would have played. This is frustrating because I love playing.
15. [R50] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US Trying to report a problem…..: I have been trying to open my game for a week now, but there is a window that pops up stating there is a problem and that it’s been sent to the developers and that the game will close. I try the “report a problem” link below. But there is no option to report an actual problem. No way to contact the developer on their website. They want you to go on to their instagram
16. [R54] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · GB Game not working: I do like this game but for a few days now it don’t seem to be working and I’ve emailed the company to ask for help but they have not responded
17. [R82] Small Town Murders 1/5 · US Annoying: Every time you upgrade your phone the games start all over again and can not get help I played for 5 yrs and switch phone to start all over again when all you should have to do is reconnect to Facebook well that didn’t happen I wasn’t at the highest case level
18. [R106] Small Town Murders 1/5 · US Not worth your time: It was fun and relaxing to play as Nora was solving mysteries. I know the further you get the harder it is. But once you solve all the mysteries it takes you back to previously solved mysteries to gather secret clues that take forever. You can’t give zero stars or that is what I would have given. This so not not worth the time or effort. Unless the way you earn secret clues ch
19. [R1] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US broken ads: broken ads blacken the screen and block game progression- extremely frustrating- State Farm ad is broken blocks game and never exits, have to quit game entirely totally aggravated as a frozen ad forced deletion of app- won’t be coming back
20. [R19] Lily’s Garden 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: I’ve been playing this game for years, now after the latest update the numerous adds no longer have a way to close it. I waited 10 minutes and still no exit point. It makes game play impossible so don’t waste your time. Seriously, don’t waste your time!!!!
