Wi-fi is most definitely needed
Tue Feb 11 2025 KrisaI love this game! I don’t know about others, but my game will simply say “checking for updates” indefinitely if I do not have wi-fi, so I have to argue thatwi-fi is absolutely required. I have been feeling a little salty about the fact that I can no longer choose the look for what I place in my garden. Unless you buy paintbrushes. Pretty much all game s let you choose between three options. Panthia does as well, if you pay for it. You can earn paintbrushes, theoretically, but they are very few and very far between. I think i’vehad the opportunity to win two or three. So it is not as fun to place things in my garden because I have no control as to the look of them. As someone else noted, money is not required but it is impossible to complete all the tasks in the side quests or prize islands to get the prizes. You would have to spend a good deal of money to get enough energy and crystals to complete these in the scant three days provided. I know it seems like all I did was complain, but this game is so good that the bad things really stick out like a sore thumb. The graphics are beautiful, the game play is easy and relaxing, and the side quests and prize islands add variety (even if you can't finish them). I come on and play a couple of times a day, it only takes 5 minutes or less before I am out of energy and can do no more, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Fun game
Thu Mar 06 2025 Tequilared5Edited-I have played this game for a while now. The floating balloons are aggravating. They float over the island blocking structures the player is trying to build. The player has to keep moving the balloons out of the way. More than once I have accidentally spent gems while trying to move the balloon. This is probably on purpose to get a player to buy more gems. Next, even though a wonder has been created, a player keeps receiving items to build the Wonder. This is a waste of energy. Then a player has bits and pieces sitting around taking up space. So a player has to merge the pieces to make more room for other pieces that go with creating another wonder. We should be able to “sell” these odd pieces back to the game. Like the coins, the more pieces merged the higher the value. Receiving energy for the pieces would be great, because the player had to spend energy to receive these worthless odds and ends. To date, I have not spent a dime. If I have objects that take 20 minutes to build, I use all my energy and build the objects prior to leaving the game to do something else. Well I am out of resources to continue building wonders. I have several items that required resources to build and all I have is 4 stick ponies (not what they are called, but what they look like). So unless I want to spend money, which I don’t have to spend, I am done. So when the advertising says play free that is up to a point. Then to continue you must spend $$$$.
It’s a good game, but I’m still waiting on the promised ?100 joining prize.
Mon Mar 03 2025 Tomas PalviaThis is indeed a good game (actually I’m sure it's a great game, it's just not my cup of tea, so sorry if I’m no doing it justice in how this review sounds), but the advertisement that drew me to this game said something about 100 of something. Whether that is 100 coins or gems, 100 of some other item or actually $100 worth of wheatever stuff I don't know, but I’ve gotten to the 3rd island (which is still the beginning, I’m sure) and I still have no idea when or where I’m going to recieve that 100 whatever prize from the offer. If the makers promise such a thing for a new player to recieve when they join then they’d better deliver it soon after the person joins the game if not immediately upon joining. Otherwise that’s false advertisement, and thus bad business, ehich is something I do not tolerate. When I next return to play the game the details of the offer and when I’m supposed to get it must be there (in the mailbox or whatever) or I will delete the game and not spend a single cent on this game.
Developers and publishers (and any other makers) be warned that not doing what you say you will do and/or not making what that is pefectly clear will lose you a lot of customers now, and it eill hurt your reputation causing you to further lose even more customers as word gets out.
That is all.
It’s a pretty good game
Fri Aug 01 2025 datkangylSo I gave this a 4 stars because even though it’s fun and a good laid back game, it seems you are unable to complete the special side islands that come up without money unlike other games I have played where you can as long as you go on about twice a day as that’s about how many times it takes for the energy to refill. I’ve went on an hour later and still not been full energy I’ve even went on like 2 or 3 hours later and still not had full energy. Most people have jobs and families that they have to take care of and can only go on for short periods and cannot afford to throw money into a game to complete these. The normal island is great and works wonderful on completing it’s just the special islands that come up. Now as a free game it is not as bad as some of the others out there that I have found and at least you can complete things daily usually I’ve had games where to complete one thing in an area it takes days and those to me are worse. So to end I will say if you don’t mind not completing the side quest islands for free and are fine with just a fun laid back game this is a good one.
Review of a Fairy-Themed App
Mon Jul 07 2025 Jovana ObscuraOh, dear travelers of the digital realm, gather round for a tale of an app sprinkled with fairy charm but tangled in vexing thorns! As a lover of all things fey, I dove into this game with a heart full of sparkles, only to find its magic dimmed by frustration.
The first few levels were cute and fun, like a pixie’s playful dance—nothing grand, but sweet enough. Yet, by level five, the truth behind some reviews emerged. The app boasts “free” treasures worth a hundred coins, but these are mere illusions, costing the creators nothing. Playing on my phone, I was ambushed by flying “presents” (most of which demand payment) that clutter the screen. Try to nudge them aside, and—poof!—you’ve accidentally spent gems, especially when fairy dust and multiple offers swarm at once. It’s maddening!
Free it may be, with no outside ads, but those rainbow balloons and gift buses buzzing across the screen are as annoying as a pesky sprite. And the worst? Once you build your final “wonder,” you’re whisked to a new land, leaving your creations piled in a corner, unseen. If I spend $5 or $10 on a fairy land, I want to see my wonders shine, not be forgotten!
I wanted to love this app, but its tricks and neglect of my crafted wonders dim its glow. Unless you’re fine tossing gems away, tread carefully. For now, I’m torn—charmed by fairies, but let down by this app’s flaws.
Let’s see if I can get further this time
Wed Jun 04 2025 -DrDoom-Started today, got through a couple of levels. Eventually, I started getting an “unable to update” error. I am playing on an older iPad. Didn’t have any problems until this. Restarted the iPad, but could never get back into the game. It kept putting up the reload error pop up and finally had to uninstall the game. Started over from scratch again so just seeing if I can get further this time.
Update: I did contact support and they reached out to me. I had this reload error occur again, and this time I unloaded the app, and started over. They showed me how to reload from the saved information on the network, so I did not lose the progress again . And I have been able to continue. Not sure why it happens, but at least it is not catastrophic. I am using an old iPad, and it locked up in a different location. They did want a screenshot with my player ID.
Cherry
Mon Mar 10 2025 Sad,dgxjI love this game. It’s helped me through 2 years of being couch bound due to physical limitations and grief. I don’t often buy extras. They are treats to myself like an extra desert. But when I do it’s usually worth it. With that said. I bought a key and shovels specifically for use with Love Letter island. It seems they went to the main game. I’m disappointed but would like to know the specifics when buying some of the extras. Thank you.
UPDATE - I again bought a key and 2 shovels for Oasis Island. The shovels were there but there was no key. There was only 1 misted area to unlock so I know I didn’t mistakenly use it. I’m disappointed but accepting that this kind of thing happens sometimes. I won’t be buying any more extras. I love this game I’ve been playing multiple times daily for the past 2 1/2 years .I’m still playing it. But I have to say, some of the shine has gone. I don’t find myself picking up my I-pad as much.
Energy
Tue Jul 23 2024 {AnimalLover}I just got this game a couple hours ago, and so far I have not had any problem with it, except for one thing. The trees need from 5 - 20 energy, depending on which tree it is, and they give you 100 energy in total. However, the trees with 5 energy only gives you like 3 items at a time, and most of the time they aren’t the same, so you can’t do anything but use more energy on another tree, or keep using energy on the same tree, but the same tree will need more energy than before. Also, you can buy 100 energy with gems, but as you keep playing the game, the energy starts to get more and more expensive. For example, at first, you can get 100 e energy for free, then it goes up to 15 gems, and then it goes up to 30 gems and so on. I do love the storyline though and I love the characters too. I would give this game 5 stars if not for the energy problem. Thank you for reading my review.
Why All The Merges
Tue Aug 06 2024 RanerGirl2019Have people run out of new ideas? Every game out there is some kill the monsters or merge the items game. I’ve played about a million of these games. They give you “energy,” you start the game, you play about 5 or 10 minutes and then it’s curtains for the next 30 minutes or longer, depending on how long the developer wants you to sit around and wait. Games requiring energy to play, cause the game to become a burden. You lose interest about the time you have to keep putting it down and picking it up, over and over again.
Then there is the design aspect. Why not give the player the option to design the areas. Each player could have a unique area and enjoy their own creation, instead of the game doing it for you. If you want to drag players in, give them a reason to spend time in the game. I’ve noticed that games that give people the ability to be creative, keep them coming back. But that’s a whole other bag to unpack. I also agree with others…the boards aren’t large enough either.
On a positive note. The characters are cute (fairies and all) and the graphics aren’t bad. I can think of a lot of ways to make this game more interesting and set it apart from other merge games, but alas, I’m not the creator.
I should have went to school for software engineering. Could have had a lot of fun.
Sloppy AI graphics and glitchy timers
Mon May 19 2025 CmgartonAt first I enjoyed the game. It was relaxing. But something felt off about the art in app loading page and the cards. Like it felt off enough to be disconcerting. Then I noticed packages with ribbons that just stopped and flowers that had deformed petals. Ah, it was all ai art, and sloppy ai art at that. In fact, some of the art you could tell they fed the ai Disney IP which feels extra sketchy.
Then I noticed other glitches. Like there are timers for certain actions and if you watch the timer, it will occasionally go backwards and then forwards again, adding on time, trying to get you to spend items or money. Like I get making game play that encourages that but this feels like cheating. And if it is just a glitch, somehow that feels even sloppier than just the bad ai art.
Anyway, I figure if those parts of the game are sloppy, who knows what else is going on behind the scenes—I would not trust the security, at all. I’ll stick with games that use human artists and pay attention to the details.
