- [R5] Farm Town Amazing game: It’s amazing you can watch videos and get diamonds. You can just do a bunch and it’s totally epic and rock on.
- [R14] Farm Town Great game: It would be great if you could put more animals to make more product on different animals meat and milk, so on like crabs, lobsters, more different kinds of fruits, vegetables.
- [R15] Farm Town 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

- [R16] Farm Town Game: Your game is broken. It is asked me to put chicken food into the factory and make it two out of three of them.. and I have done that six different times and yet the task is not done because yet it keeps telling me to say do the same thing and it does that with other factories. Your game is broken. I have asked you guys to fix this before you guys said you’re gonna fix it you about it and yet
- [R27] Farm Town Being stuck: Hi, in the game when you get to a point in the beginning you get stuck because it asks you to expand but you can’t gather anything but the bee’s, flowers and the fish. I’m not trying to degrade the game at all I enjoy it but I don’t like how I can’t gather any crops or others items. I just feel like I’m stuck. I think it’s a good step up of the game.
- [R2] Farm Town 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.
- [R4] Farm Town Fun game.: This was a fun game. Now if you want to refuse the choices for the characters you gave to watch a video every time. That ruined it. Now the screen goes black. I have to delete and starting again. 3 times in 1 month. Stop the videos to change items.

- [R10] Farm Town 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.
- [R13] Farm Town 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.
- [R18] Farm Town 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 $8.00 month, then it would defi
- [R24] Farm Town Cost more than says: I love the game. But my daughter was playing it yesterday clicked on. 7$ 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!
- [R21] Farm Town 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 !!!
- [R58] Farm Town So upset: I had been playing this game for weeks and decided to try out the membership for 7.99 a week. I decided I didn’t want to pay for it so I cancelled it after one week. It reset my silo and storage to what it was at the beginning of the game, so now they are overflowing with all of the stuff I had and I can’t collect any crops or things I made. I literally can’t play the game anymore becaus
- [R33] Farm Town Love the game but......: Glitchy. Can’t become VIP as nothing happens when I click on it. You really have to spend real money in order to grow your farm. Plots have too many trees and shrubs that need to be removed but you rarely get the needed tools to do so. Graphics are awesome and it is fun to play. But it is hard to justify spending real money just to plow the field and store the items. Sor
- [R78] FarmVille 3 Dealer scout is forcing me to like spend money: I can’t get away from the dealer scout if I wanted to . I can’t click on multiple buildings now it just always has an arrow trying to make me buy gems for the next dealer scout pack which I don’t wanna do
- [R84] FarmVille 3 Fun, but getting more and more frustrating.: The game is very fun don’t get me wrong, but there are many things that are annoying in the game. Far too many pop-ups, the amount of production buildings they keep adding are SO expensive! The accrual rate of coins is not enough to keep up unless you want to spend a fortune on in-app purchases. Keeping up with expansions, sanctuary, exotic animals and
- [R111] FarmVille 3 To many long ads: The ads are relentless. If you want to earn anything extra the ads are long and relentless. Don’t earn enough coins even when doing all tasks or deliveries. The Sanctuary missions are a joke. They require spending a lot of coins to get better outcomes.
- [R40] Farm Town Crash: Don’t know what you did but now game crashes seconds after it finally starts
- [R72] FarmVille 3 Game: I had downloaded this game yesterday was having fun playing it then once I got to level 5 it’s frozen and when I open the app it is frozen to where I left off and I have restarted my phone deleted the app and re downloaded it and nothing seems to be working so I can continue on playing the game
