  1. [R1] Crash Landing 3D 1/5 · US Bought It and still forced to watch ads: Still have to watch ads that are much too long after purchase. You can earn different planes but they all perform exactly the same. Basically it’s the same thing over and over.
  2. [R6] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Ehh: It’s decent for the bathroom. But we need more planes. 9 isn’t gonna cut it. Also, I understand you need ads for revenue, but dear god after every flight I take. That’s a lot. It honestly made me stop playing for a while.

  7. [R42] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US I can’t do the main point of the game.: I think the game is really fun and I got to level 21 until I forgot about the app. When I come back, I hold the screen, and for some reason, I CANT EVEN TAKEOFF! Now I can’t even play the game. I tried over and over again, and it’s just not working. Please fix this! I would of given a higher review but I can’t even play the game anymore. -samcamworm

  10. [R51] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US no music: How could you think I can play this game without music and sounds?! horrible game ...
  11. [R57] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Fun game when it actually worked on my phone.: I’m not sure what has happened. It literally won’t take off anymore. I paid to have ads removed and it quit working.

  13. [R4] Crash Landing 3D 2/5 · US Hope you like ads: You’ll be spending more time watching ads for other games than playing this one.
  14. [R70] Homescapes 1/5 · US Problem with Gem Expedition: I’m having issues with the during the Gem Expeditions. It’s showing the arrow where to go yet it won’t let me go anywhere or collect any gems. I contacted support. Their resolution was to tell me how to play the game and collect the gems. I bought a Gem VIP pack. They will not reimburse me for it.
  15. [R72] Homescapes 3/5 · US Working on levels: It’s a great game but I just hit the 30 day mark and had over an hour of of time and power ups and now it’s showing the team is working on levels! I’m going to lose all my time and power ups because of this! I have spent money on coins and this is not fair! You need to have the levels complete before bringing the game back on and have better communication. When the new levels co
  16. [R118] Homescapes 1/5 · US Terrible customer service.: I had contacted them regarding issues I’ve been experiencing on the app due to not being able to do/join events my teammates have been doing, they didn’t seem to care what my issue was and I’ve had this game for over 5 years now. I’m considering deleting my account and using other apps that give everyone the same access/experience was everyone using the app unlike this
  17. [R8] Crash Landing 3D 5/5 · US Was great until Ads: I purchased this game and I’m still being bombarded with ads. Not fun, not worth it!
  18. [R63] Homescapes 3/5 · US Fun For a While: As others stated, the game is well-done and fun for a while, but once you start on the "Living Room" the puzzles get ridiculously difficult and you cannot possibly win without using 5 or 6 5-turn extensions. Each extension is at least $2 to purchase. At that point, I delete it. I'd be willing to throw a few bucks their way, but looking at how much I'd have to spend to keep going,
  19. [R64] Homescapes 1/5 · US They ruined the game: This game is no longer fun. They added a bunch of difficult levels, literally one after another, and removed the level where you get three stars. Are you kidding me? What's with these changes? The game used to be much more interesting. Now I'm going crazy because it's two easy levels, one hard, two easy, then another super hard. You don't even let me breathe. There's no interest in playing anymore. · translated
  20. [R65] Homescapes 5/5 · US Good but: When u reach level 3000 u get hard and superhard level every 2 normal games . Even the easy took more than 5 try i love this game but it keeps getting harder and i cant even finish the exploration . I hope u change something. An update its been more than a week in one level what’s wrong with this game bro It keeps getting worse even with a lot of assist with money or rockets i can’t bea
  21. [R103] Homescapes 1/5 · US Upper levels impossible to solve without $$$$: Fun until upper levels which will trap you for DAYS unless you spend money to get extra moves to solve.
  22. [R105] Homescapes 3/5 · US Fun game: The game is fun and addicting! But recently with all the new updates it feels like they made it way too hard to even beat certain levels. And when you have beaten all the levels you’re forced to play in this tournament with other players with even MORE harder levels and it takes days for you to even beat certain levels. I get that they want to make a profit but why does it seem like I ha
  23. [R117] Homescapes 3/5 · US Frustrated with the game: You can never seem to get ahead in the game it hardly ever let you win. They want you to buy the resources you need to keep ahead. I enjoy the game when it actually does let you win.
  24. [R21] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Please...: Fun game. My kids and I snuggle and play every night. I’m on level 1000+. Basically playing the same 10-15 levels on repeat for hundreds of turns. Would love to see a few updates for chronic users like me: - give me a purpose for the green gems after unlocking the planes. I’ve looonng ago unlocked them all and now it’s just a waste. - give some new levels for variety - new plane
  25. [R36] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Pointless, but a way to pass time: Honestly I actually play this game a lot, but it’s more as a way to pass time. What I don’t like is that there’s no way to advance in the game, it’s like the levels keep going up (I’m on 144) but they just repeat and aren’t more difficult or anything. Also, whenever you spend coins to buy more fuel for example, it only stays for that level and obviously goes back
  26. [R56] Crash Landing 3D 4/5 · US Fun game: This game is fun, but there needs to be many more airplanes added to buy. I have all unlocked and over 200 gems just sitting there.
