Design Home™: House Makeover 4+

I like this game because I like to design and decorate. The rooms are amazing, real beautiful furniture selection and seasonal decoration packages inspire a high quality approach of luxury living. I can try several colour combinations and learn from the ratings how it could be done better. The challenge is the limited budget. But it’s like in real life, eg you move to a new home and have to decide colouring first. Then you check how your beloved furniture goes with as you don’t want to buy all new. I like that you don’t need in general to decide freely in addition curtains, pillows, wall colouring etc as this would take too long to finish one job. I manage to play without additional money and can do sometimes 5 star ratings. But you need to select which home you create, just 1-2 per day possible. And so, have to select which of the seasonal decoration products could be bought to make the home nice. My average rating is 4.25 as I try with minimum amount to get a 4 rating to win each prize. That’s fine for me and ok as I also cannot spend too much time for this hobby. But yes, would be great to have access to all furniture and all the decoration for free :-) That’s why only 4 stars. But the game needs to be funded, so play it like this or leave it from my point of view.

It’s a really enjoyable game to play, and if you go in every day to do the daily challenge and get your daily reward you can play it quite a bit without spending money. I have had it a couple of months and on occasion have spent some money to play more as I was enjoying it so much. However the other day there was a glitch in the daily challenge where it said I had none of a specific item, when I definitely did have those items and in the right size for that space (both on my iPad and my daughter went into it on her iPad and had the same issue) It had nothing to do with how the game generally works, with not all items fitting all spaces, which I totally understand. I wanted to flag it to customer service so they could investigate and avoid it happening again in future, but now twice they have responded telling me I don’t understand how the game works. I was only trying to be helpful, but them not reading my messages properly and being condescending in their response makes me not want to spend any more money on this game, although I’ll continue to play for free. This is one of two games I play regularly, the other has much better customer service if there’s any issues, which is always friendly & helpful, so guess which app I’ll spend my money on in future! Not this one!!!

I love the quality of the decorations and the fact that they have things from real life brands. However, I currently have 2,000 money and diamonds (that’s not a lot in this game) and I’m struggling to get more. This is making things really hard to buy decorations. It would be great if they could give more rewards, currency wise, every 24 hours and when you finish decorating a room. Also, even if you have enough to buy something, you can only use it 5 times. This is annoying as you would have to get it multiple times if you want to use it again and again. It would be much more useful if, once you buy something, you can use it an infinite amount of times creating more freedom when decorating and making the game more enjoyable. There are ways to gain more diamonds, but that involves paying real money and if ,like me, you’re not willing to pay, it can get really tricky. I really hope the developers of this game sort these things out as I’m considering getting rid of it as it’s not fun when you can’t physically play the game.
