I personally love this game! The graphics and design are amazing, the characters are all fun, there's always a good laugh or two, and I dont think I've ever experienced an ad. Just a fun little idea, maybe you could show players what the board of the next level looks like so they can decide whether or not to use certain power ups. As I said, though, just an idea. I'm not demanding anything. In a nutshell, this game is amazing, I love it, and I highly suggest playing it!

Update : after losing the ability to watch ads in August, I have spoken to several people who lost the ability as well. Do NOT try to con us by saying it's random. Beend stuck on a levels for 8 days. This game used to be fun. So fun , I did spend money on it. Now it's all about the money. The challenge round should not count as a loss if you have won other games in sequence. If you want to make this a play for money game only, then do just that and quit adding more reasons to extract money.

This game is not what it used to be. The game is rigged. I have been playing this game for many years and with each new update it gets worse. Whenever you get unlimited lives they lock the levels making them impossible to beat until there is 1 minute of the unlimited lives left. They used to give you 50 coins per round completed now you only get 30. I'm about to stop playing this game completely because its a waste of time.

Can be fun, but like every other game you will need to spend $ to proceed. You will need a lot of patience or be prepared to splash a bit of cash, especially when you get stuck on a hard or super hard level for a while which is when it gets really boring. Currently stuck on a Super hard level for 4 days. Updates are definitely geared to making money. Don't bother with this. Take up knitting instead.

I have spent a lot of real money in order to win, more so lately than ever. The 2 major complaint I have is when you win free time, you should have the option to either play it now or save it. It's frustrating when you are in between doing things in life, play for a bit, win 15 mins free lives, or even an hour; but have to close the game to attend to things, and you lose that free timer. I have lost more free time than I have gotten to play. Downgraded due to both issues. Game is getting greedy.

I played to level 1252 it is a fun relaxing game at first but some of the levels take forever to beat like weeks. Most details to the garden are 3 to 4 stars so it takes forever to build. I've been playing quite a while and only have about 10 areas completed not much to show for almost a year of my life playing nightly. It's a lot of dedication for not much reward.

After seeing countless ads for this game, I was overwhelmed with curiosity and decided to download it. The puzzles shown in the ads are actually accurate and match the gameplay. You also get to clean up and design your own garden and it's rather fun so far.It's the first time i've seen a mobile game with accurate ads.

I just like this state that I agree with all of the people saying that the game has changed and is now become very hard to play without paying. Even when you do pay you don't give much. They literally Make the game harder when you do spend money so you have to spend your coins just to continue on. There used to be a daily 1 hour free play and now it's once a month. They no longer are having star playing for more than 12 hours so you can't even progress in the regular game any longer.

I agree w/ all the recent negative reviews. I've played for years, it has become greedy. Used to spend $ a little when I wanted it to be a easier, now they make it extremely difficult to play w/o spending, so no thank u. Fewer prizes for winning levels & tournaments, higher prices, impossible difficulty. I played a level & it wouldn't let me win even after adding 5 moves - the pieces I needed to eliminate to win simply wouldn't generate on the board. Hope they go back to how it was.

I really like this game but refuse to play a game that takes all your coins and items to beat a level because then you must try to win levels without any items at all which is impossible. I really dislike the way these games are designed; making it so you have to pay to play and enjoy. Not everyone can afford that. I'll find something else to do. And your reply with suggestions made no difference or helped. Uninstalling for good. I'm done!!!!
