1. [R6] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Goodbye: This game use to be fun. It stopped being fun for me with the update this past April, when the free magnifying glass was replaced with a pay for use magnet. I along with others complained. I have waited to see if the magnifying glass would be returned and regrettably it has not. Such a shame. Deleting game.
2. [R8] Merge Gardens 5/5 · US Most fun game ever!: This game is so fun and relaxing.my mom is also loves this game and she’s on level 1000!!! So I kind of think that she loves this game more then me and I’m on level 800! But i love this game.
3. [R20] Merge Gardens 5/5 · US Good to see it again!: I played this game as a kid it was my comfort game I used to wake up early to play it to see the game evolve to beginning to what is now is honestly amazing!
4. [R29] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Thank you for fixing the Apple pen issue!: Thank you so much for fixing the apple pen issue. Makes the game much better. However, can you please take the magnet away that has sort of taken half the fun out of the game. It was a feature that used to be free when we merged items was to have other items highlighted for us. Now we have to pay for a magnet to pull the items together?! Not a good thin
5. [R5] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Long time player: Why can’t I use my apple pen to move objects 😭I rarely play anymore just because of this!
6. [R12] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Apple Pencil no longer moves objects: Loved playing this game, but my Apple Pencil has stopped moving objects since the last update. I won’t continue playing if this bug doesn’t get fixed.
7. [R15] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Apple Pencil not working with game: My pencil won’t move the items on the page. It just started this and it’s very frustrating and slowdown my progress. I’ve been playing this game DAILY but if this isn’t fixed I’ll have to stop altogether. Love it but please FIX THIS ISSUE
8. [R2] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Broken ads: Fun game, but extremely frustrating to have streak rewards and incentivize streaks and ads to continue the level when half of the ads break the game and force you to exit the game, destroying your streak
9. [R3] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Need update: Games suddenly not working, keep restarting
10. [R10] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US The ads malfunction: The ads (usually for that awful Kalshi betting site) malfunction so much over the last few weeks that the game isn’t as much fun anymore. Seems to be on the decline 😬.
11. [R14] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US New issue and an ask: The game reboots after merging too many eggs at once; I got 4 swan nests after tapping two maxed stars. If I tap on all the nests to unload eggs and then merged all the swan eggs and leveled up swans, the game crashed and rebooted from the title page as soon as I tapped on the x to exit the new Discovery Book. Fortunately I didn’t loose anything but had to, in the end, tap ou
12. [R4] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US the more you play, the more it’s not free to play friendly: at later levels you need to open basket or hangers WHICH need gems to open OR you can pay gems to skip it… then other levels you need mystery eggs which (who would’ve guessed) needs gems… between using gems on levels and quest to level up, there’s just not enough as a free to play player to use without paying which is why the game require
13. [R7] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US Can’t Recommend: I have been playing this game for more than 4 years. Tons of time and some real money invested. It was fun and rewarding until about 2 years ago. Now, with every “update,” they take more rewards away, they make the puzzles even harder (even the ones you’ve done before but have to do again because they run out), and they keep adding new “currencies” that you have to collect before
14. [R11] Merge Gardens 4/5 · US Great game, but…: Hands down one of the best games I’ve played. But once you get to a certain level, unlocking parts of the garden are time consuming. My biggest gripe is the wildlife count requirement. It is insanely impossible to keep up as you progress. You will have to spend money to do it or be stuck. The only things that boost you up are magnificent eggs, and they are rare to come by. I curr
15. [R13] Merge Gardens 1/5 · US It used to be fun but…: I used to enjoy playing the game, typical merge game but with a purpose. I was progressing through the game until I got to a section that I couldn’t open unless I paid for it, $20.00. Nope. Then the updates came along, now to figure out where the mergable items are, you have to pay for that option. Nope. I’ve played this game for about three years. I’m deleting it. I d
16. [R22] Merge Gardens 2/5 · US Can’t move on: For some reason I have been stuck not being able to level up. Where’s the trees??? The garden has no space because nothing will merge
17. [R25] Merge Gardens 1/5 · US Cruel Tasks to level up!: This is a fun game in the beginning but once you reach the higher levels the tasks are cruel and mean to level up! For example: 10,000 wildlife points. You only get 3-5 points merging your birds and the most points which takes a lot of time and work to make a magnificent bird nest will at most yield 150 points! Also anytime you make ANY complaint to the people at the app,
18. [R42] Merge Gardens 3/5 · US Takes to long: Takes to long to get expand
19. [R26] Merge Gardens 5/5 · US Love this game!: Thank you guys for fixing the pen issue! Been playing for years and happy to be back to enjoying the game.
20. [R63] Merge Mansion 3/5 · US Things have changed.: This WAS my favorite, but not now. I’m sad I’m looking for a replacement. Everything is progressing too slowly, I can’t spend real money and I feel it would be a bottom less pit anyway. Too many changes that have taken rewards away and I feel like it’s all about the dev’s trying to get us to spend money. Sorry but it’s time for me to move on.
21. [R85] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US Upgrades downgraded game: It was actually a fun game and you could feel you were leveling up without having to rely on paying. No more. Unless you buy gems, you can barely move ahead or complete assignments. I’ll be deleting it
22. [R88] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US Not Fun: I used to play this game everyday day, sometimes for hours. But since eliminating the ability to gain items, energy and other bonuses by watching ads the game has become a chore instead of fun entertainment. I have no interest to continue to play after all these years. So disappointing.
23. [R97] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US New Updates: …are awful. Less rewards, less energy given, unobtainable daily tasks, no videos to watch to get rewards. I spend less time playing now because of the new gameplay.
24. [R61] Merge Mansion 2/5 · US Ridiculous time waster: I use to love the game and now it’s taking days to get any further!
25. [R64] Merge Mansion 1/5 · US So many cool down timers: This game is horrible. You produce 3 items it cools down 5 more cools down one more cools down. Never gives the extra item the producers can produce. Super aggravating don’t waste your time
26. [R66] Merge Mansion 3/5 · US Love Auto-merge, but: I love the auto merge feature, i will only play when it’s active, however, i’m not sure what happened with the updates that i am no longer able to click on the item to see what generator produces it. The wait time for generators to cooldown is insane, 2, 4 , 6+ hours for you to tap 3 times and then have to wait again. I would like to get the item info back and maybe chill
27. [R68] Merge Mansion 4/5 · US weird in a good way?: this game is always fun, and i love the suspense from the grandma, and of course, there’s not too much ads. but there’s so much wait time on certain items to collect from. in fact, i have to wait 6 hours just to redeem something. also, i am not a robot nor AI. full human response 🫠
