The game is fun. Has a lot of potential but definitely needs to be tweaked a bit. No need to spend money as it does have plenty different ways to get rewards however, if you’re low on items or simply have to have what everyone else does then plenty of different packets to choose from. Prices are high and most items require diamonds. That’s the first thing they need to adjust. Either lower the price or make every tab have equal amount of coin and diamond options. There are challenges which require partnering up but it can get tricky. Sometimes you have to do it all and for that, might as well have an option where we can partner up or do it solo. Finally, it would be nice to be able to inbox friends. I would say a world chat would be nice but seeing all the complaints on Facebook kinda distracted me away from that idea. But being able to message friends in game would be great. Also, voting..perhaps make it so that once a player gets a 5 star they’re removed from the voting pool. Because indeed that voting system is not very fair. So as you see it’s all little tweaks that would make it better but nothing that makes it non fun. I thank you for the many perks you have for us to get prizes and items needed to design at no additional cost as well as all the options available in case we choose to purchase.

I actually really like the game. It’s very calming and unexpectedly engrossing. The details in the art are amazing- the lighting in a scene will actually change depending on what you place in it. The more you play, the more items you can win and the more fun you have. The downside to the game is that many of the areas to decorate are absurdly generic. There is literally just a backyard and a fence that could be anywhere in the world, instead of Tunisia. But I just avoid the very generic ones, so that’s not too bad since I wouldn’t have enough resources to decorate them all, anyways. What’s really bugging me now is this friendship thing they’re pushing when there is NO WAY in the game to add friends, other than to invite people you know in real life to join the game. So I have a mostly dead friend list that’s left over from when they had clubs, with no way to add anyone new. I have all these friend gifts, and no one to give them to. So if that friend thing is what’s getting you to join the game, think again. Also, not many things in the game match. It is almost impossible to find a sofa and chair that match, whether in color, style, design or size. It can be very frustrating. The tables are usually waaaay too large for the size of the chairs, but then some of the chairs are so tiny it’s like they’re for children. Hopefully the game designers will see this, since I really do like the concept and look of the game, but would like to see it done better.

Overall this is relaxing and I like it but they could use to add some things to it to make it work better. I was doing a design and had added the wishing well in one of the spots and then tapped on another and it added a wishing well to that spot too and I didn’t want one in the other spot so when i went back to tap it again to remove it like you do on all the others it would not remove it, it was removing all the other things around it so i went to where the other one was and tapped on it and it would not remove either just the other plants or things around it would be removed frustrating to want to change one or two of the items or remove it and cant. They should really have a clear icon for people to be able to clear it all out and restart the process again when they are unable to tap the icon to remove it. So i had to submit my design with two wishing wells in it that looked goofy and now gonna not get a good score because the game would not work it was like that item was froze, even tried shutting off my phone and restarted it to see if that would work and nothing. Then there is not even a way to report issues with the game or app without exiting the game or app. Please fix. Too slow at adding to the game im getting bored with it already been at the end of all the levels for months now, they can add new designs but they cant add new levels. Gonna give it another month then i will just find another garden design game to play and uninstall this one.

This games is lots of fun but only if you’re willing to shell out $5 every few days for more diamonds. Technically you don’t have to spend a cent but there are requirements for each project and often you need to buy item to meet the requirements. Not every option takes the coins that you receive daily and most the items that need to be bought with diamonds cost more than what you get daily. So, if you want to enter that challenge you need to buy more diamonds. $4.99 gets you 16,000 diamonds but each item you buy costs on average 2,500. It goes quickly. Once you buy an item you don’t have it from that point on, you only get to use it 4 or 5 times and then it goes away and you have to buy it again. Then there are bundles that give you items, those cost money. And the challenges, those cost money. It’s one of those games that nickel and dime you until you realize that you’ve spent $35 that month. I realize the point of making these games is to make money but when it’s too pricey people stop playing because it adds up too much. They would do better to give the items for 10 uses. And give more free diamonds. This way people don’t stop playing to save money. Also, make every category have coin purchase options, for example, none of the centerpieces can be purchased with coin, only diamonds. So again, either don’t use or spend money.
