Best Merge Game!!
This game is so addictive!! I started posting it as an offer on Freecash as a means to earn some money on the side and have been playing it since, even after completing my tasks! Lol
Biggest rip off scam game ever
You could play 24 hours a day n they make sure you can't get ahead without spending obscene amounts of money do not believe you will make money on this game if playing it in that capacity in free cash or anything they will make damn sure you don't you will LOSE money it's like $50 a level or more once you get up there with many many unfair level up tasks that would take days or way more mo ey than they pay it's the greediest most set up game I've ever played. Total scam play for fun if your rich 🤑 😂 but DO NOT bother if your believing you will make money. It's no wonder they offer so much no one can get there unless they spend more time than humanly possibly and more money than they are offering. I've made thousands and been playing games for money years so trust me don't bother with this one it seems fair right up till about level 70 and then they pull all the tricks out n start charging arms and legs it's ridiculous. It's a shame really. That they have to use entrapment and offer a grand to get ppl to not make money playing their game.
Problem
The game glitched every time But it’s really good
Frame rate issues persist
Weeks now and still no fix for the lag that dogs this game. Slow, jittery response in the garden is bad but drrraaaagggging in Match 3s makes them virtually unplayable. Thanks for once again proving that you no longer care about player satisfaction.
No way to get help
I like this game, but I’m mysteriously missing over 100 gems this morning and there’s no way to get help with that. That stinks, honestly. Boo.
Favorite
One of my favorite games too play
Stopped working on my iPad
I was at a decently high level and have been playing for many months, but last night when I pulled up the game it crashed. From then on, including tonight too, I just get a blank grey screen. The game won’t even try to load. I don’t understand why this has happened. I don’t want to delete the game, redownload, and start over, because I have put money into this app to get where I am. I’m so disappointed.
Great game until it wasn’t.
I actually enjoyed this game a lot. I played it daily. It was addictive. The game looks great and was perfect for leisure. And then the upgrade happened and it changed how you buy things from the store. Still wasn’t bad. HOWEVER, as you progress, the tasks to level up will become impossible without spending money. The wildlife rating task is the reason I will be deleting the game. You only really get wildlife points merging magnificent eggs, which are rare. Basic eggs only give you 3-5 points. Currently my rating is 50000, I need 60000 to complete the task. I really tried to hang in there but feel it’s beyond me now.
Issues Leveling
As you level up the incentive to continue leveling keeps dropping because it takes forever to get the quests done and the reward for the quests are so subpar. They really really want you to spend money - which I have (probably more than I should have) but i always do not have enough space. I was so disappointed to see the amount of land that I unlocked at level 90 was 8 squares of space… The constant popups to buy extra packages is aggravating too
I hate your ad
I'm making this review from the middle of the ad that is running on other games. Something like a minute and a half of the same eight second sequence again, and again, and again, and again until I'd like to throw my iPad. I'm either gonna buy the game or I'm not but torturing me isn't convincing me to download.
fun
can be overwhelming
Greedy and they ignore users. They also delete negatives.
I was in a group. If you mentioned anything negative they’d delete you. The game was fun but they’re asking for basically pay to play now. You “can” get through without gems but it’s such a slog and you won’t get all rewards unless you pay. Don’t download. They don’t care. You are a transaction to them.
Great relaxing game
Have been playing it for over a year. Unfortunately it has gone very slow since the last update. Deleted it and downloaded it again, it worked fine for 1 day now going very slow again.
Fix bugs
Not able to play game. Game keeps restarting.
Totally stupid game
I think the title says it all
Most fun game ever!
This game is so fun and relaxing.my mom is also loves this game and she’s on level 1000!!! So I kind of think that she loves this game more then me and I’m on level 800! But i love this game.
Decent game
The game is pretty good overall, it's a lot for a phone to handle though, mine is overheating and running slow after about 15 minutes of gameplay. My biggest issue is the 13+ pop ups when I first open the game that I have to dismiss if I want to play. Half the time I open the game I close it before I get through all the pop ups because it's just that annoying. We can find these things on our own, there's no need for it to pop up in our face every time we open the game.
Broken ads
Fun game, but extremely frustrating to have streak rewards and incentivize streaks and ads to continue the level when half of the ads break the game and force you to exit the game, destroying your streak
Love but ???
I love this game and I play for hours daily but I am so tired of not getting my collections stickers because everyone you open is a duplicate. Especially the ones you get daily. The only way I see that you can get the collections stickers anymore is if you spend money which is ridiculous.
Opening new land
It’s very frustrating when you level up to the next level and do not get any more land open. It takes a lot of puzzles to do for nothing. New land should open every time you level up. I have been playing this game for years and it’s starting to get old because of this.
More updates
I love this game! I wish you can do more updates.
It only gets worse—Greedy developers
Not only does the game soft-lock you on Level 6 by completely cutting off the Oak Tree item chain, but the community forums are full of players warning that it gets even worse later on. If it locked me out if level 6, what other levels are like this? No thanks!
Long time player
Why can’t I use my apple pen to move objects 😭I rarely play anymore just because of this!
the more you play, the more it’s not free to play friendly
at later levels you need to open basket or hangers WHICH need gems to open OR you can pay gems to skip it… then other levels you need mystery eggs which (who would’ve guessed) needs gems… between using gems on levels and quest to level up, there’s just not enough as a free to play player to use without paying which is why the game requires gems to level up to get people to spend
Wrong advertising
I was getting the new update and I saw the vid was false! It skipped nectar & pet evolves
Good to see it again!
I played this game as a kid it was my comfort game I used to wake up early to play it to see the game evolve to beginning to what is now is honestly amazing!
Lags, too long to progress
I have played this game for a long time and deleted that app because: once you hit lvl 95, you are stuck for months, the game lately has been lagging since the last few updates, puzzles get too hard to complete. You might think you are logged in and your game is saved but will lose all your progress if you clear the cache (which did nothing too fix the game lag). Unlike other apps, if you are logged in under apple id, you don’t lose your game. Since all my progress was lost there is no point restarting. Plus now PE owned by distasteful family of EA games makes me not want to contribute any revenue.
New issue and an ask
The game reboots after merging too many eggs at once; I got 4 swan nests after tapping two maxed stars. If I tap on all the nests to unload eggs and then merged all the swan eggs and leveled up swans, the game crashed and rebooted from the title page as soon as I tapped on the x to exit the new Discovery Book. Fortunately I didn’t loose anything but had to, in the end, tap out one nest at a time and merge after that. Also, could the level up arrow for the wildlife be a different color or more bold? The light green tends to be hard to see. Thanks!
Can’t Recommend
I have been playing this game for more than 4 years. Tons of time and some real money invested. It was fun and rewarding until about 2 years ago. Now, with every “update,” they take more rewards away, they make the puzzles even harder (even the ones you’ve done before but have to do again because they run out), and they keep adding new “currencies” that you have to collect before you can get anything that helps you advance in the game. And the latest update is so glitched that people are getting kicked out, can’t get the game to load, items dropped in the garden have a blinding streak that obscures the board, power-ups are weakened, the inventory is impossible to navigate. It’s a mess. I’m looking for something new. They just don’t care about their loyal users.
New update is awful
Everything was fine until after the game updated today. Now when I play the match levels it’s almost in slow motion. It’s awful. It makes the levels take forever. There is a pause right before each power up is activated.
Best iPad game ever
I have been playing Merge Gardens for years. I love this game.
Lies
The puzzle games are fun except when you get the super hard bonus ones it then takes days to win wish they had a way to skip them. Merging the gardens and weekend events are fun but they lie and force you to buy to get anything. It says merge and get this item but often when you do you get something else the only way to get things is spend money. Not worth playing because of the lies
Crashes!
Been playing for a while, but recently, been experiencing some game crashes that shut the game down. Want to start a puzzle? Crash. Want to watch an advert for lives? Crash. Does it with events too. I’ll get so far in, and the game just crashes.
The ads malfunction
The ads (usually for that awful Kalshi betting site) malfunction so much over the last few weeks that the game isn’t as much fun anymore. Seems to be on the decline 😬.
Goodbye
This game use to be fun. It stopped being fun for me with the update this past April, when the free magnifying glass was replaced with a pay for use magnet. I along with others complained. I have waited to see if the magnifying glass would be returned and regrettably it has not. Such a shame. Deleting game.
Love this game!
Thank you guys for fixing the pen issue! Been playing for years and happy to be back to enjoying the game.
Terrible update
Game gets caught on loading screens ever since the last update. Farm struggles to load. Not my internet.
Thank you for fixing the Apple pen issue!
Thank you so much for fixing the apple pen issue. Makes the game much better. However, can you please take the magnet away that has sort of taken half the fun out of the game. It was a feature that used to be free when we merged items was to have other items highlighted for us. Now we have to pay for a magnet to pull the items together?! Not a good thing IMO. A few other suggestions to the developers are to have a timer on each item to see when it is going to spawn an item or turn into another item. For example, on the boulders, have a countdown timer when you tap them to see how long before they spawn pebbles. Or for the puddles, give us a timer to see how long before they turn into mushrooms. This will be very helpful with strategy and fun factor.
Gems are USELESS
All of these things gems buy are low level garbage. And now everything is blocked by a paywall. You guys are really depreciating the gems of their worth.
Room
I’m having trouble making enough room don’t have money to buy it!
Quick Fix! Thanks
Update: Thank you for fixing the Apple Pencil issue quickly. Old: Since the update yesterday I can’t use my Apple Pencil with Merge Gardens properly anymore. I can tap on and “click” items, but I can’t move anything. It looks like there are other people with similar issues. I have a hard time playing without the pencil because of the tiny hit boxes of the garden items.
It used to be fun but…
I used to enjoy playing the game, typical merge game but with a purpose. I was progressing through the game until I got to a section that I couldn’t open unless I paid for it, $20.00. Nope. Then the updates came along, now to figure out where the mergable items are, you have to pay for that option. Nope. I’ve played this game for about three years. I’m deleting it. I don’t want to pay to play.
Dumped the other merge games for this
As long as you do daily tasks and occasionally do the 6/8 puzzle maze competitions you can earn enough gems to use. Puzzles can get very hard but doable eventually. Event maps are too hard to finish in a weekend (which is when they are held) with the exception of the dog park because of the flower starting point (you start harvesting higher tier nectar there). I hope to see more story advancement between levels, at 54 I haven’t seen much. Btw thank you for fixing the Apple Pencil bug.
Can’t move on
For some reason I have been stuck not being able to level up. Where’s the trees??? The garden has no space because nothing will merge
Apple Pencil no longer moves objects
Loved playing this game, but my Apple Pencil has stopped moving objects since the last update. I won’t continue playing if this bug doesn’t get fixed.
Long time player, but this latest update…
I’ve been playing for a while and always use my Apple Pencil to manipulate items in the garden. On this latest update however my pencil stopped working, I could no longer move items around. I saw another user noted this as well, so I’m hoping it’s just a bug that will be fixed on the next update? IT gurus, pls help!
Technical issues, glitchy AF
Not user friendly, get all horizontal, it took me some time to get out of that app, NOT recommending it
Love this game but…
I’ve been playing this game for so long with my Apple Pencil it’s so much easier than using my fingers, but after this last update I can’t use my pencil the same way anymore. That makes me not want to not play the game until they fix it to where I can use it again. Other than that great game overall!!! Fun events, fun animals easy to play game!
Great game but what happened to screw it up?
I have been playing this game for a long time, and admit I have spent a lot of money to advance since level 75. Still, I was having fun. But all of a sudden, with last Thursday update, the game won’t let me use my Apple Pencil to move objects on main screen. It screws up when combining five items to get a rainbow spinner and instead I get nothing, or a plane. It’s so frustrating now as well that getting one level to the next requires so many eggs, I am on level 98 and it wants 500,000. I am ready to say bye bye but will give it one more week, but no more money to see if this gets fixed.
What’s happened?
Been playing this game for a long time on my iPad, and normally my Apple Pencil works great on the game. This week it recognises me selecting an item, but won’t let me move it around. No issue with pencil in. Any other app, only this one - assuming it’s a bug - please fix it, it’s spoiling the game atm!
