Love this game. Never been addicted before! You do NOT have to spend real money in this game, but you probably have to watch some ads but only if you want to, it’s NOT forced. The ads are easy and short and you can do a lot of them in a short amount of time, plus they make it totally worth it and totally painless to do the ads. They do it differently than any other game I’ve played. You can still get good scores if you don’t pay real $. There are partner challenges to earn lots of diamonds to spend on future game items. Sure, you can wind up with a bad partner or two during the 3-5 day challenges. But you live and learn and in the third challenge that I did, i found 3 solid partners to keep playing with. It is a GAME so it’s not perfect. But one thing is for sure it’s really fun, you can make beautiful gardens, and learn about the plants. The devs keep adding new items daily and keep your interest by having different changes in the game and different activities. Just when you’re starting to get slightly bored there comes another one. Plus who doesn’t need a rest from gaming occasionally! If you’re looking for everything being 100% accurate in terms of plants appropriate for the climate and meet 100% of your wants, this game is not for you. But if you want to be creative and have fun decorating and having a true escape from your daily grind, play this game!! Highly recommend but yeah you might not be able to put your phone or tablet down until after a few hours bc it’s soooo fun. 🌸🌺💎💎💎

I downloaded this game a month or two ago and I have logged on every day since to do the challenges. I’m up to 210 designs and almost 6M exp! It’s so much fun and chill, and doesn’t take too much time a day to complete the few given to you a day. I love interior/exterior decorating, so this was a perfect fit for me! There are a few suggestions I have for the devs and one would be the ability to rotate ground decor, especially. For instance, I’ve never been able to use one of the original items I received which is a grey angel statue. Whenever you place it, it’s facing the opposite direction and you can’t ever see the face. A few other items occasionally have this issue too, but that’s one item for sure that I just can’t seem to use without it bugging me. I don’t see it used often. I’d also like to see more round rugs, esp with more color choices. Also, I see a lot of 5* ratings that you’re like HOW. It’s either people are just randomly clicking them, or they’re rating based on how many items are placed when there’s no balance whatsoever. Trees on rooftops make no sense and I see those often on 5*, like what?! I try to decorate based on the climate and location described, but it seems like a lot of players don’t take this into account when voting. I think the voting system needs a revamp. I think you’re just randomly pitted against another design and it doesn’t seem to matter what level they are, which is an issue. This needs some changing. I’ll sometimes go through the top designs and sometimes you’re just shaking your head?! Once these updates are in place, it’ll be close to perfect for me. Keep the improvements coming!

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.
