  1. [R8] Farm Town 5/5 · US Best Farming game: My Favourite game. Recommended.
  2. [R9] Farm Town 3/5 · US Ok-Ish Game: The game is very interesting at the beginning but soon your space on your farm gets full BECAUSE OF THE ANNOYING BUILDINGS!!! Please have more open area at the start Don’t Focus On Just Your New Games focus on all your games because that is what makes people happy when you fix more glitches then you might get more players.
  3. [R35] Farm Town 5/5 · US Just plain fun: It’s simple and fun. A+
  4. [R39] Farm Town 3/5 · US needs a few things: needs a way to be able to sell excess things in your silo. not just storage. more interaction with town. it’s basically just to look at. interact with other gamers. not just solo play. and more opportunities to get tools. it’s hard to earn coins. and things u need to pay for are expensive
  5. [R2] Farm Town 4/5 · US Crashes: Cool game put everything I try to buy and ova the puff pen it freezes and I have to force close the app and do my last few actions over again. Annoying. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Lmk when it’s fixed I’ll play again.
  6. [R3] Farm Town 3/5 · US Hate tutorials!: I came back to the game after many years and now I have to deal with tutorials WICH I hate so much
  7. [R6] Farm Town 3/5 · US I’m so confused: On the special offer board you get gems for free, then watch a video to get the other free things, then get free coins but the next option just has “8” next to it, I’m confused because when I click on it, it does nothing. Is this the subscription only button or?????
  8. [R7] Farm Town 1/5 · US Need help: My game have problem.when i want to add new animals the game is stop and get out.please help and ok this problem
  9. [R10] Farm Town 1/5 · US Expensive: Game kept crashing and cost me 9 diamonds to cut 1 tree not realizing it was just crashing. After I refresh the app, the tree finally disappeared. You must pay to advance and tree have to be cut twice … not worth it.
  10. [R11] Farm Town 4/5 · US Beautiful but glitchy: This is an enjoyable game. Beautiful graphics, lots of choices, optional ads, and long wait times to prevent excessive gaming in one sitting. However, it glitches regularly. I think my whole iPad is slower since downloading this game.
  11. [R13] Farm Town 1/5 · US Don’t get this game: Don’t get this game unless you want to spend money. It’s not technically free. I loved this game at first. Can’t get enough storage unless I pay actual money. And all the diamonds I get to pay for extra storage goes into a piggy bank that you have to pay money for.
  12. [R15] Farm Town 3/5 · US Fun but there’s a problem: It’s super fun! Until your silo is full, yet you still don’t have the needed supplies to make needed items. You’re basically stuck with no way to collect anything else and no way to make anything. The real farm town was never this restrictive and pushing you to spend money to advance
  13. [R18] Farm Town 3/5 · US Good, but be ready to spend....: It’s a VERY good game. One of my favorites out there but if you really want to keep your farm up & make it look good without a bunch of dead plants & trees, be ready to fork out some money. Don’t get me wrong....I know everybody has to make money but, I just think $8.00 a week to be able to do what you need to do? Come on! If it were $8.00 month, then it would defi
  14. [R21] Farm Town 3/5 · US Confused: I need someone from app support to acknowledge that I have asked a question about their game please. I have already sent a review stating that I can’t figure out how to do something and I need help figuring it out please !!!! I want to get the pig and peacock and it says that I need to build a yard first but I don’t know how to go about that . Help please !!!
  15. [R24] Farm Town 3/5 · US Cost more than says: I love the game. But my daughter was playing it yesterday clicked on. 7$ game package and y’all took out 10$ extra. This happened twice yesterday. We try to contact y’all about it and we get no response!
  16. [R73] Township 2/5 · US Seriously?: I get up this morning and go to play my little Township game only find that my barn storage expansion has been downgraded back to its original state. In other words, it went from 240 to 180. And there's no easy way to contact the Township team through the game. So, I did what I normally do when I get irritated with these games, I deleted it. This is probably some little quirk on the p
  17. [R64] Township 1/5 · US BAD!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬: SOOOOOO MUCH ADSSSSS🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡🤬😡😤😤😤🤬🤬😡😠😠😤😤😠😠😤🤬😡😡🤬🤬😤😤😠😠😤😤😤🤬😡😡🤬😤😤😠😠😤😠😠😤😠😤🤬🤬😡😡🤬😤😤😠😤🤬🤬😡😡🤬😤😤😠😠😠😤😤🤬😡😡🤬😤🤬😡😡🤬🤬😤😤😠(also the ads are waaaaaay different from the actual game)🤬😡🤬😡🤬😤😠😠😤😤🤬🤬😡😡🤬😤😤😠😠😤😤🤬😡😡🤬😤😠😠😤😤🤬😡😡🤬🤬😤😤😠😠😤😤🤬😡l hate this game so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so
  18. [R82] Township 1/5 · US Pop ups: Please stop the stack of pop ups about all the different games and events all at once when I open the app it is SUPER annoying
  19. [R103] Township 1/5 · US Could you stop making ads?: You dumb ads
  20. [R112] Township 1/5 · US I don’t recommend if you don’t want no ads: Literally millions of ads on this game I don’t like it
  21. [R67] Township 1/5 · US Temporary upgrades: This could have an excellent and fun game. Instead they gouge you at every turn with temporary upgrades to your barn, and they don’t tell you it’s temporary until you contact support about the fact. So, when it reverts you cannot collect items needed to actually play! I deleted the app and will never play another Playtrix game because that name is literal!
  22. [R85] Township 1/5 · US Scam game: So not only does this game have micro-transactions, your purchases DO NOT MATTER!! If you use any payment to increase storage for example, it will be taken away by the next pass (season pass, battle pass.. etc) So if you’re looking to just space out and have fun go for it, but don’t give these people money.
