1. [R8] Love & Pies 5/5 · US best merge game out there: i LOVE merge games and this one definitely takes the cake. most merge games use ai to create stories and imagery but it is such a relief that this game is drawn and made by man. such cute stories and quests!
2. [R14] Love & Pies 4/5 · US AD issues: I love this game - I’ve had it for years and love the simple gameplay and decoration aspect. My only issue is that sometimes when I watch ads in the game, they don’t give me the reward afterwards or they simply don’t allow me to exit out of the ad back into the game and I have to close the entire app. Not sure if this is a game issue or whoever is running the ads but it’s very annoying!
3. [R15] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Meh: I’m just not feeling it. The story is too similar to Gossip Harbor. We’ve got not-Quinn with her divorced self and fluorescent hair. Her daughter, not-Olivia who likes boy things. Her high school love interest, not-Harrison who works against not-Quinn to pay for not-Harrison’s-dad medical bills. Come on now…
4. [R41] Love & Pies 5/5 · US Must Play Merge Game: I just had to review this one! I’ve tried so many merge games and this one is on top! The artwork and animation is great, the story is well done and flows beautifully, not dubbed. I look forward to getting the stickers, not like others. The merges actually make sense. The side games are not overwhelming and are enjoyable. I wish the energy refills were less gems but I’ll surv
5. [R4] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Not a fan of the latest update: I really love this game. I love the graphics, storyline and how inclusive the characters are. I’ve paid out of pocket for the picnic pass and a few other things. I don’t mind supporting creators when I can. However, the latest up date (9.23.22) drastically changed the number of coins needed to advance the story. Before the update, things cost 36-90 coins to advanc
6. [R6] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Great but annoying: I've been playing this game for several months now and I can confidently confirm that improvements are needed in order to compete with other popular merge games. Firstly, less time needed for recharging generators - I should not have to play hourly in order to progress (this is a game after all) Secondly, and not so importantly, the amount of notifications is excessive. I just
7. [R12] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Ummmmm: Ok well this game is very fun and I think quite well organized, but there are definitely some problems. First one is the energy thing. Let me explain, when you’re doing the matching game thing every time you click on the regenerator it takes away one energy. One out of 100 by the way. Now that might sound like a lot, but it’s not. And then you have to wait a whole hour for it to restart. L
8. [R13] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Still so many pop ups: I haven’t played in over a year. I tried to come back but there are still so many things you have to clock through to get to the game play. This was supposedly being addressed over 2 years ago. I know how the season pass works. It annoyed me so much having to click through the “activate” tutorial that I just closed and left the app again. Such a shame as this is a wonderful
9. [R10] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Crashing: Game keeps crashing. I’m about to delete for good.
10. [R16] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Angry: I would’ve given it 5 stars any other time but I didn’t get my rewards for completing the rocket event. I needed the mystery cloud to complete all my albums😡
11. [R35] Love & Pies 4/5 · US Freezing: I only gave it 4 stars cuz it’s one of my favorites but a 3 really because I’ve gotten to level 17 &’ it keeps freezing idk why but I haven’t played in awhile but just want to play.
12. [R1] Love & Pies 2/5 · US Didn’t pay, Paid and now no commercial for things I need: I was on this app before for years and was at a way advanced level than I was before and didn’t pay. Had commercials for energy and items in shadows that were big. Decide to pay and get less commercials for opportunities to earn energy and blinking items. I’m not donating another penny. Smh
13. [R19] Love & Pies 2/5 · US has potential: app has potential to be a fun merge game, but makes you wait extremely long to play the game so you can buy energy or coins. never understood the whole "you have to wait to play" thing till i realized it was just a money grab
14. [R30] Love & Pies 3/5 · US Somehow Got Worse: I used to ADORE this game because there was a lot you could do without being a PTW. I’m not sure what happened, but as of a week ago, you can’t skip anything or get any more energy with ads like you used to. I can watch maybe one or two ads before I’m paywalled.
15. [R31] Love & Pies 2/5 · US don't spend money on this game, you'll just be penalized for it.: i enjoy this game, but i want to say it's absolutely ridiculous how when you spend money on anything, you're basically "punished" for weeks for spending money. once you send the game any money, expect to only get about up to fifty free energy through ads as opposed to the normal daily three hundred energy you can get through ads wit
16. [R7] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Steals money, useless customer service.: I like this game a lot. It’s fun and easy to play. But at some point an update has it occasionally charging me when I don’t authorize a purchase. I have changed my password, required a PW for every purchase, turned ability to make purchases off, deleted and redownloaded the game. It still happens. CS is totally useless and tells me to talk to Apple, which h
17. [R43] Love & Pies 1/5 · US Won’t refund unapproved purchases: They refused to refund money, that I hadn’t approved for purchases made for in game content.
18. [R32] Love & Pies 5/5 · US No adds: I hate adds but this app has none
19. [R80] Mergedom 4/5 · US Either Way, If You Play You [Will] Have to Pay…: (Diabolical.) Either with your money, or your time - which they make money off of via ads. A Lot of ads, and the Long ones at that. To the point where I almost feel like they make more money off that than purchases. And mind you, I paid for the no-ad feature so I don’t even know how prevalent ads are for the free version. I can only imagine. To b
20. [R89] Mergedom 5/5 · US New Favorite: At first I was put off by the ads and kept closing it and coming back later, frustrated because I liked it and didn’t want to just delete it. It took me a quick minute to notice 3 things: 1) The forced/popup ads are closable in less than 5 seconds, if that long. You then still have the option to watch reward ads that are the 30-60 sec required play through. 2) The pass that remo
21. [R106] Mergedom 1/5 · US Unplayable: Biggest pile of manure i have ever seen. bUt YoU cAn PaY tO rEmOvE tHe Ad- and you can ingest a satchel of richards. That will happen first i promise.
22. [R51] Love & Pies 3/5 · US game is good: pretty good. follows a story line.
23. [R59] Love & Pies 5/5 · US Great game: This has become one of my favorite games . I started playing it to earn points for my fetch app and have continued because I am so invested in the characters and want to see what happens next. I appreciate the creators keeping it running smooth and keeping it fun .
