  1. [R5] Happy Merge Home 5/5 · US Good game: This is a really fun game to play!💝you should play it. Im only 12 and i really like it!!👍
  2. [R11] Happy Merge Home 5/5 · US Loveeee: I love this game !! It’s my anxiety fixer !!
  3. [R13] Happy Merge Home 2/5 · US Went waaaay down: First of all, the screenshots on the App Store are misleading. That is not the game play at all. You can’t move furniture accordingly. The game is that you merge items and you get to pick which furniture you want. I’ve noticed during the most recent update, items are getting pricier which requires more coins. They want you to pay in app or else the game is harder. I think they’re
  4. [R14] Happy Merge Home 4/5 · US Fun, but not as advertised: The game is absolutely nothing like the ads or even the pictures in the App Store. It's fun, but it's just your basic merge game. You merge stuff to earn coins and then use the coins to buy furniture and decorations to decorate rooms. You don't clean or fix anything though.
  5. [R2] Happy Merge Home 4/5 · US To many adds: Used to love this game but lately it just has to many adds
  6. [R4] Happy Merge Home 1/5 · US Merge home is a scam: The ads don’t work, and I hate that sometimes when I try to play it… IT WONT EVEN LOAD!!! IT won’t work I deleted it and will NEVER SUGGEST IT AGIAN! take ads away no one cares about someone trying to interrupt your Peace for some perfume! Having forced ads every 5 seconds is why I deleted it. MAYBE YALL SOULD FIX THAT NOW
  7. [R7] Happy Merge Home 1/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
  8. [R9] Happy Merge Home 3/5 · US Ads are ruining this game: This game is fun and has kept my interest daily for a few months now, but these new forced ads will be the reason I delete it from my phone. I appreciated how in the past, viewing ads was OPTIONAL. You could watch them if you wanted additional products, but they never popped up unprompted. This changed within the last few weeks. Now I have to close out the whole game and
  9. [R12] Happy Merge Home 3/5 · US Problem: Hi I noticed that a bunch of my items from the last color wizard event that I was awarded disappeared from my que. I had not dropped them all to my board yet. I wanted to use the lightning boxes etc.
  10. [R22] Happy Merge Home 2/5 · US What happened?: I loved this game I was up to the last house and was in the middle of playing the carnival event the app crashed and restarted and I erased all my levels I completed and it brought me back to one. I’m devastated. I am not starting over again. I emailed support and no answer. I absolutely loved this game I played for a few years. I can’t believe this happened if it’s not resolved I’
  11. [R25] Happy Merge Home 1/5 · US Issues upon issues: This app has so many issues that they’re always making you buy space and there’s always glitches in it currently you can’t use it right now because there’s a glitch of the reward prize it happens all the time you can’t even make one and then they’ll have another issue
  12. [R30] Happy Merge Home 3/5 · US Better before updates: I hate having to watch 3 videos in order to get a free item. Also, it takes so long to complete any combo to continue with the game.
  13. [R31] Happy Merge Home 2/5 · US Disappointed: The update of watching 3 videos to get a free item has ruined the game. All items are high level for orders and you don’t have enough energy to get the items unless you buy more energy so you end up having to watch a dozen videos for barely anything.
  14. [R62] 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 🫠
  15. [R71] Merge Mansion 5/5 · US Merge mansion puzzles &story’s: I love this game
  16. [R74] Merge Mansion 4/5 · US Good game!: This game is super cute. It doesn’t really follow the storyline of Maddie marring that man in the ads. GRANDMA DOES GET ARRESTED THO! Still haven’t found out why. It takes a while for you to complete some levels of the game but that’s just the game. There is also “story events” that require the same energy as your regular task so I wouldn’t worry about doing that part of the game cause
  17. [R77] Merge Mansion 5/5 · US For the developers: I love this game so much I play it every day and I love the events but it is hard to more energy maybe we could start out with 150 of 200 if not that’s cool too otherwise good work on the game I love it
  18. [R18] Happy Merge Home 3/5 · US Not that fun: The problem is about the bubbles that are so annoying and in the photo of the game has no relation to photo like the game isn’t like that so i dont recommend it to you guys
  19. [R24] Happy Merge Home 3/5 · US Those pictures are not this game: I’m not sure what the pictures are for under this game but those are not for this one. You have to merge items and watch 3 adds to get things.
