Design Home™: House Makeover 4+

I was very much LOVING this app. I got it back during our 1st lockdown back in April 2020 & have been playing every day since. It’s a great creative outlet. Lately, since the most recent update I’ve been encountering a number of problems; the most frustrating being that when watching ads to earn diamonds the x to close the ad once it has finished has suddenly moved too far up in the corner of my screen & it’s behind the battery icon & I am unable to close ads that don’t auto close once their time has finished. If I force close the app I don’t earn the diamonds & it gets slow to restart. It’s highly frustrating & has hindered my submitting rooms - which if I can’t submit my room when ready what is the point of doing a room & in turn what is the point of having the app if I can’t use it? So I was loving it, but now I’m suddenly frustrated and would like to know why this has changed?

I’m a newbie to this game and at first loved it ... until I realised how quickly and easily you run out of money. I’ve just read through most of the other reviews and thought yep everyone feels the same. I then also realised that a lot of these reviews are from 1 - 2 years ago. Obviously nothing has changed. The creators and makers of this game can’t be reading or seeing people’s reviews. I hate how you purchase something and only get to use it a few times and then have to buy it again. Geez imagine that in the real world. Going out and buying a lounge suite but then being told you can only sit on it 5 times and then you have to pay for it again, or we will come and take it away. Once you buy something, it should then be yours!!! There should be NO limit on it. Most of the items are so expensive too. I hate having to scroll through looking for the cheapest items. In real life I don’t buy cheap but in this game you have to. I refuse to use my own money, in any game, and will not do it in this one either. I’d rather delete the game. Until you level up your buying is so limited, that’s certainly not fair. Such a shame as this game could be loads of fun for the creative person. Pretty silly game really, just writing this makes me wonder why I’m even playing. Is my life that boring ... Nope, now where’s my gardening gloves, I think I’ll go out and play with my real succulents (that I get to keep 😁)

This issue has been raised before and it would be greatly appreciated if the creators of this game would take this into account — WE NEED TO EARN THE DIAMONDS AND CASH IN SOME OTHER WAY RATHER THAN PAYING FOR IT. The game, as others have said, is really addicting. However, after a certain point, you wouldn’t have enough cash and diamonds to continue playing. Yes, you get daily prizes but to fully enjoy the game, you need to buy furnitures and decorations that will fit the criteria or theme of the room. To do so successfully, you need to BUY some items using the game’s cash. BUT THESE ITEMS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE! Why don’t you increase the cash prize for each daily challenges? Why don’t you make 3 daily challenges instead of 1, so we can choose? Or why don’t you increase the cash prize earned for each completed room? Also, If we do watch the advertisement to get diamonds, why can’t we get 30 instead of just 15? I know it’s mimicking the real world, where budgeting is a crucial aspect, but all I’m asking is to make it fairer—at least make it DOABLE to design more than a room per day! It is a GAME after all!

I think if you want people to continue playing this, you need to make them WANT TO PLAY it. I would love to play this game everyday, but because of these issues, I’m slowly turning towards other games. Seeing other people’s reviews, I think they have the same sentiment.
