First I will start by saying, I do love this game! I've been playing daily for over a year. My only real complaints are:1: Diamonds are too difficult to get ahold of. If all artwork, plants and decor can only be purchased with diamonds, and you only get 500 a day, (artwork averaging $900 a piece, table decor averaging $500) it makes it nearly impossible to design the way you'd like to. It would be nice if there were at least some options you could pay cash with.2: I am often overloaded with pieces of furniture I would never use. It would be nice to have an option where we could sell unwanted furniture for cash, so we could purchase things we actually want. I wouldn't have a problem spending $8000 on a couch, but I'm certainly not going too, when I have 100 couches in my inventory to use (half of them are purple or teal), so I make do with what I have so that I can at least get rid of it.3: Voting definitely seems a little off to me, but I know you have no control over what people actually vote for, but I do agree that it should perhaps be rounded up if a room gets a certain amount of votes. I know I try to actually read the description of what I'm supposed to be voting for, and I generally overlook horrific artwork placement, because I'm certain that's all they have to work with because of the ridiculous prices and diamond only purchasing. I mean, who in the real world is spending $500 for a little table decor? Or $900 on a plant?

UPDATE Woo! My Home was added to weekly challenges, I am so happy! I love the monthly $5 tier rewards. Nothing major financially, yet a huge benefit to my inventory. LOVE IT! Still hoping for inventory to be filtered by shape, like tables and rugs: square, round, rectangle, oblong. I would super appreciate borrowing from all my friends before the like long rest. Every time I borrow an item, there is a cool down time before I can access the borrow feature. I appreciate after that cool down I can still borrow from my other friends, but I would love if I could borrow from everyone, and THEN the cool down kicks in. Loving all the changes so far, especially including designers in the challenges. Excited to see where else the app will go! Maybe the tiles could be movable one day, <3ORIGINALI have consistently played this game longer than many other apps. I love the options, styles and series challenges that offer diverse designing obstacles. I’m hoping for improved filtering of the furniture such as by table or rug shape or chair height. I would adore more color options in all the categories as well as more specific style types. Boho and minimalistic, for example, are missing. One other improvement I truly hope for more table art and floor decor options especially. The former especially is lacking. If the amount of home points for the My Homes section could increase more often, I would start putting money into this game. That is my favorite part of this app. Thank you so much for all the hard work!

I’ve been playing this game for many years and absolutely adore it. I do one design each day for the most part. Unfortunately it has become impossible to play unless you’re spending quite a bit of money. The bundle prices have increased from $2.99t-$4.99 to $9.99.. for the new design packages. On top of that, the design themes have increased weekly, so there are new designs, and to participate in the daily design, one needs to change the design to the new design packages to make their design coherent and work with the colors presented. In short, this encourages/forces the player. to buy new items much more often, to be able to make a coherent design within the daily design colors presented. This feels and is predatory. As a longtime player who enjoyed the game for years I am spending twice as much money as I have in the past to enjoy the same amount of game perks and purchases. and if I don’t, I am left out in the cold. If I wish to enjoy the game in the same way, I have I would have to buy more expensive bundles more often especially to participate at the level I had reached over the past 4 years. It is a financially substantial increase and my respect for the app designers/representatives who have designed a beautiful and seamless game has decreased greatly. What a shame. In my humble opinion, it is getting way too expensive to play. Moving on.

Update: so I’m a few days in playing everyday and like others have said, I’m at a stand still because I’m low on money. When you do a design challenge you get cash, but then you have to turn right around and spend that cash in order to do another design challenge Bc it has certain requirements you have to meet. There are very few challenges where there are no requirements. I also do not like the fact that you have to keep repurchasing items after 5 uses. Voting also is by other users, so most people are probably just voting for what they personally like and not viewing the design and making sure it matches the description/requirements. It’s still a fun and relaxing game, when you’re able to play it.I downloaded another design game but you had to play mini games in order to collect enough money to design. This game is all about designing, no “other” games to play in order to design. I’m only a level 3 designer right now since I just downloaded, but at level 4 more things unlock. I absolutely love getting to design a room and then you submit it to have it rated/scored by others. I think it’s from other players? You also have a gallery of all the designs you did so you can look back at them if you want, which I thought was cool. You do have to choose wisely about purchases or you will run low on money. I’m not sure how you gain money again yet, maybe by completing challenges and getting good scores. Anyway, I’m only on day 2 of playing and I LOVE IT!
