- [R1] Merge Mansion Ridiculous time waster: I use to love the game and now it’s taking days to get any further!
- [R2] Merge Mansion 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 🫠
- [R3] Merge Mansion 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.
- [R4] Merge Mansion 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
- [R7] Merge Mansion No longer enjoyable: Changes that have been made are disappointing. Daily tasks are more difficult to accomplish. No videos to watch and earn an extra power suitcase. Rooms take more energy.
- [R25] Merge Mansion 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
- [R28] Merge Mansion 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.
- [R13] Merge Mansion Won’t Load: After the update , it won’t load past 50%. Ugh
- [R23] Merge Mansion Update mess: Since last update I cannot get past 50%.
- [R29] Merge Mansion Pity: I really enjoyed playing this game for two years but now it doesn’t work. I tried deleting and reinstalling it but that didn’t do anything. I can tap all over the screen and it’s like it’s a photo. Pity.
- [R30] Merge Mansion Glitching: It’s a pretty fun game and I enjoy it, however it keeps resetting my progress, I’ll do a ton of grinding in the game and then I’ll close the app and it’ll redo all of it
- [R6] Merge Mansion 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
- [R26] Merge Mansion Fun game: I would have given this a 5 but on one of the last updates it took away the ability to tap an item to see what other item produces it and now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to produce stone pebbles with no clue. Makes me want to quit because who wants to waste time just tapping when you cannot progress in the game. Please bring back the ability to see how to produce the items you nee
- [R35] Merge Mansion Stay Consistent!: Please, I beg of you, STOP changing the layout of the main board. Just as I start to get used to it, it changes again. At the moment, the layout is horrible. You have to go back to the home/landing screen every single time you want to switch between events or status screens. This wasn’t a problem before this latest change, so why mess with it?
- [R41] Merge Mansion Change the UI for the tea party challenge: I love this game, but the changes with the automatic merge mechanic sometimes seriously disrupt the playing process For example, with the auto-merge the tea party challenge bar (the one with the pink cup) is constantly triggered. It’s placed on the top of the screen, where the counters for energy, gold, and crystals are constantly placed, so the bar ofte
- [R12] Merge Mansion I’m upset: You have stopped all of my things that will help to open more doors.My Egyptian room I have no more ways to get what I need to finish this room. I won’t buy anymore gems till I can play to finish what I’ve started.
- [R31] Merge Mansion Slow: Takes too long for the timers. And when buying extra pinks. Not $4.99. But charged $42 and still fighting to get some back. Total waste of time. Sorry.
- [R62] EverMerge Played for YEARS: I’ve a senior citizen and been playing for years. Recently I had a problem on a Friday night. I sent a message on the support tab. By Saturday morning when I opened it to check the status, it was fixed. LOVE IT!,
- [R73] EverMerge EverMerge: Don’t get into this game, I I’ve it but it requires you to watch ads or you progress very slowly. I’ve been writing to the tech team since March because their ads stopped work and now we are at the end of June and they are still not working! They apparently don’t care that people will quit play but I am thinking that I have wasted enough time playing! Beware!
- [R24] Merge Mansion Good but: I wish there were no in app purchases or any adds
- [R45] Merge Mansion Wish you didn’t have to spend money to win things but otherwise good: I really like this game and have played it for a few years now but you essentially have to pay to win any of the side games or card deals and it’s really frustrating because i actually like the side games. The fishing one really irritates me because i can’t even get enough types of fish to fill the cameras.
- [R37] Merge Mansion 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.
