  1. [R11] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Long time player and Love it!: I really enjoy FarmVille 2: Country Escape, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements that would make a huge difference: • Show how many of each item I already have in my barn while viewing recipes in each production station. • Add a “Sort by Lowest Inventory” option so recipes I need most appear first. • Allow players to search for recipes and inventory item
  2. [R15] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many: Too many games going on at once
  3. [R17] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US FarmVille 2 country escape: I have played farm games before, but this country escape is very realistic. I love how it can teach the littles what animal eats which food and how much work it takes to keep a farm up and running. Might i suggest a bit of adventure for our creatures if we dont keep them fenced in.
  4. [R23] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Addicted: Yep this game is addictive 🎶🎶
  5. [R1] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
  6. [R3] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
  7. [R4] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Problem connecting: Since the update at beginning of July, the game doesn’t connect to Facebook, and no pictures of coop available and just acting buggy in game. Is this being worked on to fix?
  8. [R7] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Logging in: I can’t log in with Facebook or even on my web browser A lot of people are having this issue so many players zynga is gonna end up losing
  9. [R6] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Not loading to Facebook or Game Center: Not happy
  10. [R24] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Play to win and tedious: I find it hard to enjoy this game fully. You’re expected to have an absurd amount of keys for most items you wish to get for your farm that are hard to obtain without watching over 400 ads (literally as that’s what it costs to just get a dog) or otherwise buy them with your real life money. It feels very pay to win. Then there’s the fact so many tasks require hours to comp
  11. [R25] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Not enough space for storage: I am tired of my barn being so full I can’t do anything. I x out a lot just to make a little space. To enlarge the barn requires so much material that air have no room for them plus all the events take extra items. I get frustrated that I stop playing. Sometimes I have unlimited speed seeds but no space to use them. What a waste
  12. [R30] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Special Events!!!: I am about ready to delete this game! I enjoy playing it but they make it so hard (without spending money) to complete the special events! Your not guaranteed a needed item when completing a craft BUT the game should not give you random items 3 to 4 times or more in a row when it is so hard to make the items needed to hopefully get the needed item!!! I have wasted too much ti
  13. [R34] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Greedy companies: Your taking the fun out of playing games because of your corporate greed
  14. [R10] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Horrible: In the last three days, your system has been horrible. You can no longer login via Facebook and no one is telling you anything.
  15. [R12] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Pop ups!: You have to many pop ups every time you open the game to play. It is very frustrating and you need to change that. sometimes I just back out of the game because I’m tired of closing them down all the time!
  16. [R64] Marble Master 1/5 · US If you like to watch ads: Seriously I like the game but oh my, the ads. And I’m not talking just occasional, after EVERY game and some ads are 3-5 minutes. Other games I play may be a 30 second ad…not this one. I end up losing points because as soon as I finish a game, I close out just so I won’t have to watch another ad. Great game but the ads are killing it for me.
  17. [R67] Marble Master 1/5 · US ADS, ADS & ADS!!!!: Uninstalling this app right now. TOO MANY ADDS. 1 or 2 adds every level you pass. That make the game impossible to enjoy and play….
  18. [R70] Marble Master 1/5 · US Grrr: Installed this app three days ago. The first two days were fun. Today, there is an ad break between each level, and the level takes far less than a minute to play. If this isn’t more ad time than play time, it’s too close for me. Bye.
  19. [R73] Marble Master 1/5 · US Worst Game Ever: Do not download this game. It’s the worst game ever. There’s a commercial after everything and they forced it on you. There’s more commercials than game.
  20. [R2] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Tamekea: I love this game so much I can’t wait to play it with my friends and family
  21. [R16] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: I have played this game for many many years settings connected through FACEBOOK, GAME CENTER AND APPLE. Now cannot connect with Facebook. I am ready to Drop Game as I am i unable to connect with coop members market, I cannot help them with their order and requests.
