1. [R2] DragonVale 5/5 · US Amazing game!: I’ve had this game for about a year and I’ve played it everyday since, and I love it. The only one true complaint I have is that the islands spaces aren’t symmetrical so you don’t have the same amount of space on each side but other than that it’s a perfect game.
2. [R15] DragonVale 3/5 · US A little too gem greedy: This game is cute and all, but it goes a little too gem heavy with almost everything being needed to bought with PAID gems. Maybe the game gets a little more generous as time goes on and offers gems as rewards for things, but I’m level 13 and it’s not looking too generous at the moment. I’d be more inclined to buy gems if the game wasn’t so stingy with them.
3. [R68] Dragons 5/5 · US I love your game !: Dragons rise of Berk is a great game ! It’s very peaceful but when you brawl your brain starts working and eventually you win and my personal opinion is: That it a great how to train your dragon game possibly the best in the world.
4. [R81] Dragons 3/5 · US Pay to win…: Great concept, but you have to pay for SO MUCH… a lot of things will say you can unlock them at a certain level, but then you have to pay for them. Which is excitingly frustrating. Overall, it is an exception app, but I would only recommend to those who are okay with paying for lot’s of in game content.
5. [R9] DragonVale 3/5 · US Great game but stopped loading: I loved playing this game but it stopped loading on my devices for some reason and I have tried everything to fix it but nothing worked
6. [R46] DragonVale 1/5 · US 15 minute load time: With WI-FI, full bare service or both, you have to wait 15-20 minutes just to load in.
7. [R61] Dragons 1/5 · US Been playing since the first.: Now it’s so glitchy it won’t open!
8. [R70] Dragons 1/5 · US PLEASE Help Your Players: I know this is probably a shot in the dark and the developers will probably never see this but I told myself that it’s better to speak out than to never say anything at all…I love this game but there is a huge problem when it comes to the obscene time wall behind EVERY single thing that you do in this game. Whether it’s resources, building huts, gathering iron, training d
9. [R21] DragonVale 3/5 · US What happened?: Used to love this game, and reached level 180 or 185. Today I opened it after a long time, and the game is almost unplayable! Elements are scrambled, many dragons are constructed of text, and the images are often checkerboards. It’s nearly impossible to play the game. Coins and gems look normal, and a few characters can be seen wandering the paths, but other characters are only gra
10. [R25] DragonVale 1/5 · US All GameCenter Friends GONE !: Been playing happily for many years - this latest update is a complete disaster - ALL 433 GC Friends have vanished ! And the update isn’t even optional - it’s a forced update required to open the game. How can you release an update like this without a fix, and require the update knowing what it will do to all of us ???
11. [R62] Dragons 4/5 · US audio problem: weird audio problem. there is a strange noise in the background playing at all times and the music cuts in and out rapidly. it’s not my device, it’s this specific game.
12. [R100] Dragons 2/5 · US New update: The new update has a massive glitch or bug . I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible
13. [R19] DragonVale 2/5 · US Nothing to Do: I really love the idea of breeding and collecting dragons, but as a beginner player there is really not a lot to do. I got a few dragons, but don’t have room to expand and I need an exorbitant amount of gems to do anything. I only check in once or twice a day and it feels like I’ll never get anywhere unless I spend money. There needs to be more incentive for a new player to play fre
14. [R20] DragonVale 4/5 · US To expensive: Love the game but everything is to expensive please put a sale I really want the rainbow dragon but around 50 to 60 and I don’t have enough gems so it is expensive to buy
15. [R103] Dragons 1/5 · US dragon rise of burk: the dragon rise of burk yearly subscription is way to expensive it should be 20 dollars instead of 87 dollars and the game is a pay to win game and i dont like that because i wish the company cared more about the players than the money thank you
16. [R112] Dragons 1/5 · US Too Expensive: Most recent changes to cost of iron are over the top and not acceptable. Too costly to make progress in game. A lot better games out there with realistic and fun progress more closely aligned to cost to play.
17. [R4] DragonVale 1/5 · US Piggy Bank: I purchased the PiggyBank and never received my reward. Support is impossible to get in touch with.
18. [R37] DragonVale 1/5 · US Offerwall is a scam: Offerwall games will mark rewards as achieved/rewarded but will not actually provide gems. DragonVale support and Tapjoy support are both impossible to contact… don’t waste your time playing.
19. [R111] Dragons 3/5 · US Dont add your card!!!: I loved this game! I had purchased a couple things on it, now there are random charges coming out ranging from 50-100$.. very disappointing.
20. [R43] DragonVale 1/5 · US Offerwall system doesn’t work: I’ve achieved 3 of the 9 Township goals and have only received the reward for the first. I tried submitting a support case at least 3 times and every time it said the problem was fixed but I still never received the rewards. I also tried email support and never got a response.
