- [R2] Modern Community Love!: I do love the game it’s very addictive but I love the story and how it’s so interactive and gives many options when decorating! But it’s kind of annoying that each level only gives 1 start unless it’s the challenge ones that are usually hard . Also waiting 20mins per life is so frustrating when again it’s addictive and I just want to play and continue the story wish it was a lot shorter . I
- [R8] Modern Community I Found My Game!!: I have played and deleted so many game apps. I just needed something with story line, decoration skills, fun match 3 and fun small side challenges. It’s all here and I do mean ALL here. Best part it’s not overwhelming!! I don’t write reviews often but I sincerely wanted to thank the creators of this app because you guys have created a game so elite with NO ADS! I plan on spend
- [R63] Homescapes 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,
- [R100] Homescapes 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.
- [R21] Modern Community Great game butttt: Its a great game but its super hard on levels after 300 impassable levels and u only get like 24 moves and or the most is 28 moves i think and i be stuck on one level a whole day. I love the game the part we design and all that. But levels that are super hard should have at least 30 moves. Also im done with the lower level of the store but one store is missing an item and like i
- [R24] Modern Community Great game but hard to win: Great game but hard to win and even when you do, you don't win stars until after you win two games and then it's only one star. It seems to be designed to have you pay to play unfortunately
- [R91] Homescapes Decent: Lately the game keeps crashing when my internet is on
- [R106] Homescapes Froze: It hung up, now all it does is start to load and the disappears. I loved this game
- [R10] Modern Community What happened?: This used to be my favorite game. I played it every day and then it just quit opening up. I’ve deleted the game. I’ve cleared my cache and it still doesn’t work
- [R33] Modern Community Developers Please Read!!!: I’ve had this game for yearssss. And I love it so much but i’ve noticed recently that it glitches a lot now. Please change that! This game is amazing
- [R82] Homescapes Won't open...: What happened? After the update, the game won't open at all... · translated
- [R12] Modern Community Amazing but not sustainable: The character design, the storyline, the gameplay are all amazing! The point system is mid because you never earn enough coins to allow you to continue to play the game unless you buy packages. I’m sure that’s what they want, but some people want to play the game that can’t afford to buy a whole bunch of packages, plus the packages don’t include enough coins to last mo
- [R117] Homescapes 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.
- [R11] Modern Community Match 3 for Completionists ♡︎: Beautifully designed. Visually one of my favourites mobile games plus amazing customer support. Looking forward to upcoming updates with new pets!
- [R115] Homescapes 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
