1. [R3] DragonVale 3/5 · US Takes too long: I can see why I didn’t play this game for too long when I first installed it. I redownloaded this game on a bored whim, saw I had no progression beyond having only one dragon, and decided to give it another try. And honestly, this game is ridiculous towards new players. It shouldn’t take twelve hours to breed what are basically the beginner dragons, and another twelve to hatch them
2. [R18] DragonVale 3/5 · US Going down….: This has always been my favorite game. Been playing it since it released. However it’s going way down hill… It used to be kind to its players but it’s slowly becoming more and more rigged. It’s not as if people expect to be spoon fed dragons but the breeds have gotten increasingly ridiculous. When I’m Wasting 600 gems trying to speed up the breed of a single dragon and still can’
3. [R68] Dragon Mania Legends 5/5 · US My favorite game: I love to play this game I also used to play this game when I was little I still play this game when I found it again I love this game so much and I would recommend playing this game. My friends play this game too and I think that they like it nowadays I have been playing it most often and I love this one the most right now I might even play this game when I’m older I love this g
4. [R80] Dragon Mania Legends 4/5 · US Good game but riddled with ads: The game at its core is a very good game with a lot of cool dragons but the sad part of the game is that there are way to many ads that ruin the experience
5. [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
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. [R72] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US a good game, but with some mistakes: After the update, you won't be able to get the pink dragon card by completing daily tasks or as a reward, and you won't be able to complete other tasks or receive rewards. The game freezes and doesn't work, so I have to restart it. However, the game is still great! Please help me fix it.
8. [R120] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · GB So buggy: I advise to not play this, as the game is so buggy. I spend gems, and energy for it then to say “connection lost” even though my internet is stable. Reconnect and the gems/energy is lost. For example spent gems to finish breeding the “connection lost” so reconnect and the gems have gone, the timer is back to where it was. I am constantly contacting GL for the same issues and I’ve now
9. [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 ???
10. [R28] DragonVale 1/5 · US What a mess!: Good game ruined… While fixing most problems with the ADs, this last update obliterated my friend list. All FB friends are gone including my deceased brother, my kids and grandkids that have moved on to other interests in games. While I didn’t send them gems, I could still visit their parks and tap on party hats, and I could use their dragons in contests in the special events. Now i
11. [R69] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US Make a new update: With the last update, the application just stopped working properly, when you take the reward for performing daily rewards, the game freezes
12. [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.
13. [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
14. [R86] Dragon Mania Legends 4/5 · US Good, but…: It’s a good game for the most part. Just so many things you have to spend money on, and not cheap either 99.99$ for 3,800 gems!!!!. Also, there’s a good amount of adds.
15. [R119] Dragon Mania Legends 4/5 · US Make: Great game! Keeps you engaged. The biggest problem is all the ads. Very annoying. If it weren’t for that then it would be 5 stars!
16. [R1] DragonVale 1/5 · US charged me WAY too much: I've been playing dragonvale since I was a little kid, and I just recently downloaded it again because my family members still play it, and I was bored. I made a purchase of $4.99, and obviously tax comes with it too, but I was charged $8.45. Huh..? I'm a teenager so I have like NO money, but thank god that was actually in my account. I have nowhere to get actual support be
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. [R61] Dragon Mania Legends 2/5 · US Terrible game support: Love the game played since I was 12 but my account was linked through Facebook so I have no way of retaining my old account, contacted support and still have heard nothing after weeks of waiting
19. [R97] Dragon Mania Legends 1/5 · US Technical Difficulties: I’m having issues with the excerpt for claiming the daily rewards. When I try to claim a dragon shard, the screen freezes and I can’t do nothing but to exit the game. Can you guys help me? I tried contacting the support page, but they did nothing.
