Home Design Makeover for Negative User Reviews

Needs improvementI played this game for awhile and then gave up because it got almost too hard. I picked it back up to find it’s gotten harder. The amount of money needed to buy things is crazy and the levels are almost impossible. They were hard before but adding in the “boxes” makes them near impossible. 3 boxes gives one shape and takes away a move. You only get 5 lives which take 30 minutes to replenish just one which is way too long. You also don’t get any other opportunities for diamonds or coins aside from purchasing the stupid piggy bank with real money. 90 diamonds gets you 5 more moves but again, you have to purchase it with real money since you don’t get diamonds. Videos could be a great way to get more moves, more lives, and shorter recharge time, as well as getting rid of the stupid boxes would be a great way to improve the game..Version: 3.0.2

Pretty good but...It’s really annoying how you always have to play this other game that is a lot like Toon Blast (a puzzle game) to get coins to add and upgrade furniture and other stuff. Then you end up playing that game all the time and then it gets harder and you can’t get the coins and then you can't finish the project and it ends up not really being a house makeover game because you’re playing this other game to get the coins which you need to be able to play and finish the project. So over all I think it’s ok but it’s really annoying about that other puzzle game you have to play..Version: 3.0.8

Same with property brothers, and both tediousThis game is exactly the same with “property brothers”. Even the graphics of the characters are the same, except that, instead of Scott's, 2 other dudes are contracting. So if you find that game boring, you shouldnt try it either. It seems like the creators forget what's the point of a game with the title “home designing”. You have to play tones of boring games to get enough score to decorate your home! And actually when you're looking to it you'll find out that you are NOT decorating anything. You are just busy to get enough scores with other games the whole time..Version: 4.1.9

I used to like itI loved this game when I first got it and enjoyed the variety of challenges. After playing for several months it just got too hard to complete any of the challenges with having to wait 20min for each energy to be replenished and extremely difficult levels to win. I have just deleted this game after trying for nearly 3 weeks to win just one level that wasn’t even a hard level and missing out on several challenges. Games are meant to challenge us and shouldn’t be easy but this was just ridiculous..Version: 3.2.2

Charged 5 times for the big packageAnd never received it. Very angry.Version: 2.9.7

Developers, I would have rated 5 but I guess not(Sorry!)I’m sorry for not rating 5* but in the end there is a reason for two less stars. The levels are kind of harder than what makes a matching game fun and that is 1 of 2 drawbacks. When I finish a design I’m always proud enough to show my parents and they get inspired by my designs while they renovate parts of my house from time to time. The lives are the second and final problem. The levels are so hard that you waste your lives and have to wait for a frustratingly long time for one life. When you finally get a life it gets wasted again and you have to wait another long time. The idea of the game and graphics are the best of any matching game but when you don’t have enough lives to enjoy yourself you can’t play such a good game anymore. I hope you developers listen to this. The short way to say this whole thing is that the levels need to be less hard and shorten the live gain time. Disappointing for such a quality rich game..Version: 2.7.7

Ads model ruins the gameOK. This is a really fun game which I play pretty much every day. However, I’m becoming, or have become more and more frustrated with their ad model. It’s excruciating. Firstly, they last up to 30 seconds or more… but you can’t get out of the ad because it’s been made nigh on impossible. It often takes me longer to exit the ad than to play the game. Firstly you wait your 30 seconds and then you get that dreaded double arrow… click on that and nada you’re back to the ad. If you finally get to the exit X you can still be stuck in the ad. Absolute poor form with these developers. *Please* listen to your customers. I’m all for in-ad purchases so you can generate revenue but this has become ridiculous. Does anyone agree. If so, please comment..Version: 4.3.9

The DIY at lvl 400I have reached lvl 400 recently with high hopes of being able to DIY custom items but when I clicked in to the DIY section it just said ‘Lets DIY some old furniture’ and nothing else, not even a button to get started. How can I start DIY stuff?.Version: 4.3.6

Used to love this game developers are GREEDYWhen I 1st started playing this game years ago you could purchase extra moves and boosts and while a little pricey it wasn’t bad. The items to buy for the regular designs weren’t bad but the more levels you move up you end up “paying” $6k or more for room decor. Literally a few plants and some books. They have challenges on the weekends where you earn boosts and could win coins and extra boosts. They got rid of the boosts on the weekend challenges and now have team challenges where you get 7 moves to win a game. 7!!! It’s almost impossible and it’s all about greed. They are making it so you almost have to buy extra moves and boosts to win. I’ve easily dropped over $1k on this game in the years I’ve played. I’m done giving them any $. Start treating your customers better. People are not happy with the changes you’ve made. Used to be fun but you guys got super greedy. Not giving you another dime and I spent A LOT of $ on this game. It’s a shame..Version: 4.1.1

Spoiling gameplayI find this a good fun game to play and l enjoy designing the various room on all the challengers and events The latest updates however have took some of the enjoyment away as on the weekend specials which start on Thursdays, you can no longer win the extra free hours game play to help you win the keys and tickets which makes it harder to complete the special event The developers are also adding a lot of extras onto the game which evolves you spending real money to buy things for the gameplay and the prices for the add on’s are not always affordable.Version: 3.6.9

Fun until the levels just gets hardIt’s a very good game, but once the level gets hard, feels like your wasting your time away with something that’s impossible to finish. Then suddenly you’ll get lucky and it will finish it off for you after hundreds of try. They just want you to pay for it obviously that’s why they’ve made it this way which makes sense from their point of view. But if your playing for fun then your just wasting time on the levels!! Not worth it.Version: 5.6.7

The adds cause faults!Used to enjoy it but there are so many adds now! And many of them cause my game to stop, or won’t go past the add, or goes to a blank screen and I have to delete and reinstall! Becoming too annoying to bother opening the game anymore! It’s a shame because I used to enjoy this game! Have sent in many messages, never had a reply!.Version: 4.1.9

Terrible Game!I have spent plenty of money trying to advance to the next levels and still fail. I have deleted the app 3-4 times over the last few years because you just can’t seem to advance. Then I download it again thinking it might have improved, just to be disappointed and spend more money and then I still don’t advance, very often you still fail. I will not be downloading this game again and I will be advising anybody I talk to to stay away. Too much money and time wasted for nothing..Version: 2.9.7

Stupidly boringFix the lagging in your game. Still haven’t sorted out your “verses” or your coming soon..Version: 4.7.3

Biggest challenge is to keep the game going!This was a great game until you get to higher levels. Then you get fewer tries and the games block you from winning. I was ok when the ads started in the 500 levels, but now the ads are almost all 30 second ads before each game even if you watch an ad to gain plays. Now, in the 2800 level when an ad pops up, it closes my screen (the screen goes blank) and I have to wait for an hour or so to restart my iPad. Another issue is the app goes into a processing mode at whem, sometimes in the middle of a challenge. These delays along with all the 30 second adds are taking the fun out of this game. I was a fan, but no longer. I’ve been playing for about three months. The game designers need to update quickly!.Version: 3.9.5

AdsThis game was better before ads.Version: 5.5.9

Sad…..Sadly, this game will bite the dust for me. Have played for years and loved it. However, the latest update moved the number of points needed to achieve the same prize within a level from 9,700 to over 17,000!!!!! Almost cannot achieve this. Very disappointed and will be saying goodbye to a game I loved😢.Version: 5.6.0

Fun game, constantly crashes.I enjoy playing this game. Im about to delete it because it crashes CONSTANTLY. I got a new ipad and keep trying to get in touch with them to transfer my account. I never got any answer but a bot. Played many hours, now i dont get any support to transfer my old account. Unacceptable..Version: 5.4.8

Has changed loadsSo if you like playing a game that doesn’t give daily check in bonuses like the competitors do, has no way for you to accumulate tools to complete the puzzles to complete the rooms other than to purchase gems then this is the game for you. It was fun but with no way of earning tools to complete puzzles it’s just frustrating. After 3 years I’m done. They’ve changed it so much and it’s just not worth the time and frustration any more. Edited to add that the only thing good thing left about this game was it was ad-free....since the last few weeks they’ve added...you guessed it...ads. A seriously once great game that I could ignore the few bad things. Now it’s just all bad. Save your time and try Homecraft. Daily bonuses plus occasional challenges that you get rewarded for. Challenging but you’re given the tool to complete levels..Version: 3.8.4

Lost its shineI have loved this game for a long time. Passed over 2,400 levels but it’s all of a sudden gotten ridiculously hard and the amount of levels required to pass for one piece of furniture has made it frustrating instead of relaxing. I’ve spent days and then weeks trying to pass one level and I think my patience has finally run out and I will be deleting. Recommend the game on a short term basis but don’t get attached..Version: 4.2.0

False Advertising!!I was very excited about this game; design your very own house! Boy, was i wrong. You can’t design your own house... even on the title of this app it says, ‘design your dream home!’ Well, that’s not true at all. You can design, but you design some other people’s houses that need fixing... and you can only fix ONE room!! Even the adds say that you can design your very own house, make it the house of your dreams!! Well, that’s impossible on this game... even designing things is VERY hard. You have to play games similar to ‘Candy Crush’ to get ‘coins To buy things for the room... and you have to completely win the game to get the coins, which takes me about 44 mins!!!!!!! Not happy with this at ALL... This game needs a lot of fixing. So basically, if your interested, just go download Candy Crush and it will be literally the EXACT same thing... PLEASE FIX THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 3.1.2

FrustratedI’m so frustrated with the ads, it’s getting longer and longer. Most of the ads now is like a minute long. U play for one minute of game and another minute of ads. I don’t matter ads that is short like 10 seconds or so. Please stopped all the repeated ads, otherwise lots of people with delete the game. Some game doesn’t even have ads, look into it.Version: 5.6.1

AnnoyingThis is not a home design game, it is nothing more than a matching game that gets really hard too fast and earns a ridiculous little amount of coins for the overall cost of the design. The game is frustrating and annoying. I am deleting it right now..Version: 1.3.4

SeriouslyIt wouldn’t let me on the game and it took 3 hours to download and I got on for 5 seconds then the game crashed and glitched now it won’t even let me on the game. And it is copying property brothers game but this one is worse.Version: 3.0.4

LisaHi I love playing home design have done for a few years I haven’t been able to play the game for a month a guy on there I hadn’t seen before was removed and I ended up winning a few times the bonuses though I got passed this guy and then my ph and game started playing up this is seriously bad to the point I couldn’t play the game at all it’s now asking for verification and billing and my card details I haven’t brought anything on this game before ever and wasn’t making a purchase at all I find this disgusting behaviour and would like this sorted please so I could play the game I had to delete the app it won’t allow me to download it so if it doesn’t get sorted out straight away then I’ll be posting what happened to me on social media so know one else gets there game hacked into Kind Regards Lisa Boyle.Version: 4.5.4

I can’t open the appI’ve been playing this for years and really enjoy it however for nearly a week now I try to open the app and it immediately crashes...I’ve sent a request for support through this page and have heard no response ☹️ this is very disappointing. Please fix this or let me know what I can do to resolve the issue, I’ve searched everywhere on the internet for ideas and have come up blank.....Version: 4.7.6

Levels too hardAgree with all other comments...levels are way too hard for the limited amount of moves. Very frustrating, am deleting game..Version: 1.9.8

More Design, Less Candy CrushSo, I like playing design games because I like designing homes and I want to be a home designer when I grow up. But every time I download a design game, I have to play these stupid Candy Crush-like games to get money. First it was My Home Design Dream. Then it was Matchington Mansion. Then it was Property Brothers. Then it was this! All of these games have Candy Crush-like puzzles. I hate games that have these puzzles because they get really hard and frustrating. Another frustrating thing about these puzzles is that when you lose, you lose a life. It’s like punishing you for losing! And to the people that hate these design games that have puzzles, download Design Home. It has zero puzzles and it’s a lot of fun! So, please stop making the puzzles so hard. And make the game more about designing and not Candy Crush-like puzzles. Thanks.Version: 3.1.2

Frustrating!Love the design features of this game but it is so frustrating the more you progress the harder it gets. And there is no way you can get more lives unless you spend real money which I’m not doing. Nearly every review complains about this. My piggy bank is full but asking me to pay for it when I’ve earned it through winning levels....no chance! I’m on level 1137 and been stuck on this same level for over a week! Why make it so hard? I think it’s time to delete..Version: 3.4.9

Started good after impossible to complete challenges on timeThe game started really funny and very entertaining, however when the challenges come up started to be so hard to be completed on time and at level 687 it’s really Impossible, my suggestion is when we complete hard levels and get double money we should get double cupons or stars... also in 3 days we should have only one challenge not 2. If nothing change I will stop playing as I cannot afford keep buying packs all the time..Version: 2.8.6

👎😡Really bad app. don’t get..Version: 3.4.4

My game has disappeared!I am so disappointed! I have been playing this game for many years and recently a pop up came on screen to say an update was available. As soon as I clicked on it the game froze. Then when I tried to load it again it wouldn’t open... I can see it when I minimise the pages on my IPad but as soon as I try to load the page it goes black and shuts off! So upsetting as I have loved this game and do not want to start again.... I had also just spent money on the piggy bank for reserve tokens and they have now gone too... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️.Version: 4.7.5

Ridiculously ExpensiveThe game is good. The design concept is fun. If you play the game, most of the challenges are near impossible to complete. You will sit for hours (and if you don’t move the game hints for you) and neither I or the game hints can complete the challenge without you being forced into paying money for extra lives. Then you decorate and the costs are ridiculous. $1370 for pillows? Look, there are games and then there are just blatant money grabbing scamming games and these, and this one, should be avoided at all costs. The developers just don’t understand that if you make the game affordable and fun, you will play it forever..Version: 3.7.7

The game is alright but..The game is alright but as an improvement maybe make it easier to add furniture- I don’t want to have to play a game to win money. Adding a negative customer opinion based on things like style and colour match would make the game even more realistic. Instead of playing the minigame for coins maybe each customer having a different budget and the tricky part would be staying inside the budget. I recommend this game for younger kids or people who mainly enjoy the minigame (similar to candy crush ) ..Version: 5.2.4

The levels are too hardI downloaded this game because I like interior design, this is what drew me in, not the match 3 puzzle. I don’t mind these little challenges because it provides an alternative to decorating and you never get bored. However, this game should be more about decorating and less about matching. The levels are too hard, it takes 30 mins for 1 life to reappear and the prices are way too high for what you can buy. And it won’t be enough to make a one-time purchase, you have to pay again and again to play this game uninterrupted. The graphics in this game are truly high quality and beautiful and I love decorating the rooms. It’s just so frustrating that I can’t play as long as I want because the puzzle game is so unrewarding and difficult..Version: 3.6.5

CrashesThe app closes down as after a few seconds when in the contact us - my account. It shut down every time I tried..Version: 5.1.2

It’s okay but...I love this game have been playing it for awhile now. I love the designing part and playing the levels. But I never win the level until a 3 day challenge comes up then all of a sudden I have 3 hour lives. Then with the new update and having to spend diamonds to get something special is too much. Nobody is going to buy diamonds to get a special design. If we could EARN diamonds it would be more fun. This game is honestly all about money, they want you to buy this and buy that. It really has got boring as I never pass a level until a 3 day challenge comes up. Also it would be more entertaining if we had little challenges just to earn or diamonds or coins. Or every week we could get a special prize or something. Another thing, it takes too long to get a life. You honestly play the game once a day because it take too long to just get 1 life. You can watch 3 30 minute shows and you still won’t have your 5 full lives and that very trifling and un entertaining. I love this game so much but it’s not fun anymore at all!.Version: 2.7.9

SadThis has potential to be a great game. However as you advance the mini games get harder to complete using your 5 lives very quickly. No daily log in bonus. Did 1 in app purchase but the power ups use too many gems for it to be viable. Sad as I was really enjoying this on. Will not make it to level 400 to try the furniture design. Lots of improvements required on this game..Version: 3.0.2

Way too many intrusive adsAds pop up far too often and take over your device. Listening to music? Ad sound takes over. Listening to a podcast? Ad sound takes over and shuts down the podcast app. Sound muted or turned all the way down? Guess what? That ad plays sound anyway. The worst part is there’s zero way to get rid of the ads. No turning off the sound. No turning off the ads. No purchasing an ad-free version of the game. And the ads are usually not skippable and they’re about 45 seconds long then after it ends and you click the x it takes you to the App Store. Close it out and you have another 10-12 seconds before you can close it. The ads in this game have made it almost unplayable. Too bad because it’s an enjoyable game..Version: 4.2.3

Cash GrabThis game was amazing before. The levels are hard but that didn’t bother me too much. But having to use gems in the limited time challenge for clearly superior items is a terrible idea. The best part of the game is the freedom to design, and even with that sometimes the items fall short. So, having to spend gems for furniture is ludicrous. I hope that this is rectified because I otherwise don’t mind spending gems, but there are fundamentally better similar design games to play if this one starts getting expensive..Version: 2.8.4

Fun but annoyingWhen I got the game I immediately fell in love it was so addictive and everyone new what I was doing coz I couldn’t stop playing I did love it but the problem was like all other games like this of course you had to do levels to get stars/ points and when u were stuck on a level for two days it was boring I prefer playing other games where I don’t have to do levels because I am just more interested in designing I prefer over games and what is the point of having a game that u don’t like.Version: 3.0.8

Terrible game. Terrible software. Purposely makes you lose!!!!!!Needs updating often. Purposely makes you lose when you are playing correctly and by actual probability should win. The programming is faulty and needs fixing ASAP. I deleted the game after winning many levels but then it crashed and wouldn’t allow me to win more even though I was meant to (yes I played over 30x in a row and each time it crashed). Disappointed is an understatement..Version: 2.8.6

Nice at first but boring and hardThis game is really fun for the people who enjoy doing a copied candy crush and have to do it 5 times to actually change a colour of a couch or put in a chair! Sometimes you have to wait weeks and weeks to play again because the energy power has to refill. This is because when you lose a game you lose a energy point and you have to play again. I would say you get a better app if you want to play the app for a long time..Version: 3.3.6

Home design makeoverThere are really inappropriate ads in the game. Young girls play this and there are sexually explicit ads. Unacceptable..Version: 4.6.7

Home designThis game got deleted I have downloaded three times and I can’t get back into it I have downloaded one more time I really want to get back in but I’m starting to get fed up.Version: 4.8.4

Crap after the update!I have been playing this for a few years now and are on level 7259, I have really enjoyed it, but since the update, it has become very glitchy, and whenever you are given the option to watch an advert for an extra life or bonus, it cuts off, and you are left with no extra life, yet straight away an advert will appear. It is not my internet. It looks like a ploy to get you to buy stuff! Not a happy bunny!.Version: 3.9.1

Was cool...... but......First few levels I really enjoyed but the levels become so insanely difficult you have to spend money to pass them. It lets you collect gems for more lives and power ups but once you’ve collected a full piggy bank of gems you have to spend money before you can collect anymore. It allows you to collect 600 then it stops collecting until you spend £2.99 to empty, but the power ups cost 150 gems so £2.99 only gets you 4 lots. And the levels get so difficult sometimes you need this many. It’s a cool game but a money machine!! Disappointed.Version: 2.8.5

It crashes every time you try to buy a Premium Pass from EuropeIt crashes every time you try to buy a Premium Pass from Europe, and without it you only have 5 lives instead of 10, so you won’t be playing for long. I like this game, so I thought it’d be worth it for me to buy the premium every month, except… I press buy, and a message appears: “Authentication required European legislations requires banks to authenticate certain transactions” - this forces me out of the app to buy it, and when I’m back on the app the purchase is not there BUT I have been charged! This happens every single time, it is very annoying, and every time I have to write to them to get my purchase. But the last time they said that according to them I have received it, so I am furious, also because I have told them many times about the issue and they never acknowledged it, fixed it, nor prevent it. It would be as easy as letting buy the pass with “diamonds” instead of money, because it is still possible to buy diamonds even if that crashes too..Version: 4.6.6

Great but one thing........I love the game I really do my friend said to get it but there is one thing that I just don’t like it’s when you run out of money and have to do the mini game thing the first couple of levels were easy but then they got so hard and it’s really annoying and i don’t really like that part but everything else is great just not the puzzle but that’s my opinion other people might like it? 🤷‍♀️ But if u could change the levels to easy or not have the puzzle people and I might like it more 🤷‍♀️.Version: 3.5.1

Can no longer play, app has issuesHave been playing this game for a while now and love it, but the app has developed an issue which means I can no longer play the game or advance further with anything. Haven’t heard anything from my support request.Version: 5.1.9

No option adsI like the game, but it keeps playing adverts in between each game, win or lose, and makes me sit through the whole thing. Then when it gives the option to skip, the ad is just doubled. Making this feature MORE annoying, when I’m finally given the option to close the advert, THE CLOSE BUTTON IS FAULSE! I press exit and it sends me to the App Store to purchase the app from the advert! And this happens THREE TIMES when I try to close the ad!!! I’m growing extremely frustrated with this deception and will delete the game if this app doesn’t stop being so intrusive with its advertisements!.Version: 3.9.6

Good but annoyingActually loved this game so much until I came to Level 121 with the 13 Gnomes. It’s one of the hardest to best and quite frankly impossible. I’ve ran out of time for the “limited time” games and still can’t beat this level no matter how many tries and wasted my money on upgrades to try and beat it. Also started glitching out on me saying I had a power up but then wouldn’t work once a connected three with it.. so disappointing cause I love this game and don’t wanna give up on it..Version: 1.7.5

FeedbackGood game.. items are too expensive though match prices accordingly rather than too expensive it’s out of reach to complete challenges etc.Version: 2.6.9

Amazing game but..Way too hard to pass levels past a certain point. It is very annoying that I can no longer finish timed rooms! I can’t pass enough levels within the 2 days to earn the tags for it. If you can make it slightly easier to pass levels I might be more into the game.Version: 1.6.0

3/5This game can be quite fun and interesting but it gets very annoying and boring after a while due to the fact you basically have to play a game after every time you get an option to buy a piece of furniture. Sometimes you don’t even have enough and you have to keep playing. This is just my opinion, but if there wasn’t so much of those games in between and if they gave u more money then I would of rated this game a 5/5..Version: 5.1.0

ReviewThe game is great! However the levels are way to hard and I hate not being able to complete the challenges. Also there should be a way to earn more diamonds without having to spend money, other games let you do this!.Version: 1.7.1

Fed upI’m currently on level 59 & have made at least 15 attempts to pass the level. It shouldn’t be impossible to get past. I’ve gotten to a point where I need two or three moves extra to pass. The only reason I can’t finish the level is because I run out of moves before I have everything needed to pass the level..Version: 3.5.0

It gets harderA game that starts off interesting with excellent graphics, but then as you progress it gets harder..and harder...and harder. Husband who is into maths and graphs said that the configuration makes it impossible to pass, therefore no matter how hard you try, you’re not going to win. I call that cheating..Version: 3.7.0

Ads make it buggy.I don’t have an issue with the gameplay itself- but lately the ads have become longer, unskippable and more frequent. There’s even one for “Money Chase” in Catonese which I don’t understand and doesn’t prompt with a “skip” or cross to exit back to the game. I’ve been having to exit out of the game to get past the ad. Pretty poor choice of advertisement..Version: 4.0.5

FrustratingUsed to love playing the game. Now it’s become very frustrating, very hard levels. You need far too many coins to buy stuff. The new stupid piggy bank. You only have 5 lives that are wasted within few minutes and long time to wait for lives to fill up, unless you are prepared to spend money, which I am not. It’s not fun anymore. The developers need to make it more player friendly .not fun anymore. You can never finish the limited time events or the restoration as the games are too difficult and only 5 lives and long time to wait to fill the lives. Also f you get a bonus time for an hour or two, if you stop the game you lose the time anyway , so not good..Version: 4.0.6

Lots of pressure and unfair rulesYou are at great disadvantage when you finish a level early and have left over turns, not only you have no incentive for finishing early, you lose chances at getting more rewards in “time sensitive “ and special challenges.Version: 5.3.7

Too many pop upsGame play is basic and plain looking. There are SOOOO MANY pop ups of “helpful” information (with hints off mind you) that were infuriating, you don’t get to design your own house just a room for others that you have no free creative reign over and seriously the amount of “talking” the characters did was stupidly insane and you couldn’t skip the section just accept each and every sentence they decided to say after every single change you made to the room.Version: 3.5.8

Attempts the guilt tripGot to the Footballer’s Bathroom and all of the sudden “optional premiere decisions” appeared of 250 gems per option (you start with 90 and barely earn any).... That’s a big yikes. I tried to just skip forward but was then immediately met with ANOTHER 250 GEMS. That’s a big no no so I go go. Probably not coming back because as much as I enjoyed the first few hours I don’t really like the idea that once I get to the pregnant lady I’m going to be guilt tripped into oblivion and basically blackmailed into paying or facing the unavoidable cut scene of her being very upset/disappointed. Not really into people who do that to others, especially in games available to kids/the elderly/anyone with a heart..Version: 2.7.7

Buggy since the updateI’ve played the game for some time, and enjoyed the skill to reward ratio and designing the rooms. However, since the recent update, the game has become buggy and on occasion crashes completely. This seems to have something to do with the ads, with ad banners popping up randomly during gameplay. Since you rely so heavily on ads to progress in the game this is deeply annoying. Driving me to find an alternative! Sort it out or I’ll be gone….Version: 4.8.0

My thoughtsYo none of the updates ya’ll make are worth it. The reason I love this game is to design but the fact that you don’t give all of us enough time isn’t right neither ok. You don’t know what some people could be going thru that’s why they might not have enough time to submit things on time for the challenges. Because I know I would win a lot but lately I’ve been loosing because I haven’t had enough time days neither hours to submit my design there shouldn’t be a time limit because no one knows what could be coming up what if someone got injured and has to be in the hospital what if someone misplaced their phone for a few days. There are celebrations almost every month for birthdays for holidays for other things. So I’m thinking about deleting this game off my phone..Version: 5.6.4

Another micro transaction gameI enjoyed this game when I first started playing it. I’m never going to understand the point of paying into a mobile game that isn’t going to add any value to my life. I decided a long time ago that I wasn’t going to be lured into paying micro transactions to progress through a game. Most games will allow you to play without paying. The only down side is that you have to be patient about how you progress. This game will not allow you to progress without make any kind of purchase. The game does a very good job of psychology making you think that you need to pay for the piggy bank by saying it’s full. You can unlock the piggy bank by spending money. I have spent nothing. Unfortunately, I can no longer play this game unless I spend money. Oh well, another game bites the dust. Sorry people. I can’t support a game that is greedy. For the record, I will spend money on some games that are challenging and have a good system for earning prizes..Version: 3.4.7

What has happened?This was such a good game. I was over 2000 levels in when I did an update, and it never worked again. I redownloaded, lost all my progress and started again. But it’s full of terrible ads, I can’t recall if I paid to remove them 2 years ago, and it glitches, the music glitches, and the ads glitch and the game just closes, ALL the time. I’m up to about level 540 and I think I’m done. It was so good and now it’s just rubbish..Version: 5.0.3

Good game but....Love the game but you get nothing apart from 1 hour free time when you finally finish the task which takes a lot longer to get the higher the levels. All other games give you somethingfor Playing and decent sales prices if you want to purchase power ups or more lives. Cmon guys give something back to the players. Would rate the game higher as I really love playing it but the low rating is because you get nothing out of the game from the developers/ owners..Version: 1.7.6

AlrightGood game and a good concept just got way to hard to fast and gave a ridiculous small amount of money..Version: 1.3.8

Only free if you don’t want to move forward in your designsI am tired of these games they claim you can play for free. You can only get to a certain point usually where you really like the game. Then they make it impossible for you to beat the challenge unless you pay for all the extra things that can help you get through there. Otherwise you’re stuck playing the exact same game over and over and over. Never being able to beat it for days on end so that you cannot move forward in your design. Just another one of these things to get you interested and then try to get money out of you. Some of us have disabilities and can barely afford to live let alone pay for the games. We just want something to be able to spend some time doing and enjoy ourselves for a few minutes. Wicks I still can’t move forward. Play the same game over and over and over. So fed up with this I guess it’s time to delete this stupid game and get rid of it for.Version: 5.4.4

More time playing puzzles than designThis game is very frustrating as it seems I’m playing the candy crush like puzzles more than I am the actual design portion of the game. You earn so little money that everytime you add a new piece of furniture you’re going back to play the puzzle. Deleted and will not play again. So annoying..Version: 2.7.6

Great gameWell was great till all the adverts started gosh pain in the you know where so instead of watching the same **** over & over close the game The last couple of days their is ugly music playing in background whats up with that its horrible i have turned the music off in the settings and it still plays 😩.Version: 5.5.4

Waste of timeLevels are fine, but takes ages to get enough money to actually complete the rooms. Only downloaded for the design aspect and you barely get to do anything. Limited edition ticketed rooms expire before you can finish them because it takes too long to get enough tickets. They game gave me unlimited lives for an hour - managed to play enough levels to get over £33,000 and then that wasn’t enough to pay for a full bathroom to be redone because all the items were too expensive. A towel rack alone was over £2000. Ridiculous game, total waste of time..Version: 5.6.1

Mini games too hardI have just downloaded this game & I’m afraid I’ll probably be deleting it! The design part of the game is really great but the game to earn the points is way too hard! I am very experienced in playing similar games but this one is just frustrating... & not being able to use the piggy bank diamonds without using real cash is ridiculous..Version: 2.8.3

More time watching ads than designingGive me the opportunity to pay for the game and remove the ads. Too many and too long. Also, very hard to earn points - more playing games to earn points than actual designing. Super annoying..Version: 5.1.5

Disappointing updates after years of play & many payments ~ penalising long term playersIf I could give 0 stars I would!! Absolutely disgusted at the new updates and response from the developers of this game! I have played, PAID & loved this game for many years. Unfortunately it seems by supporting this app and possibly aiding the new updates via the many payments I have made, has penalised a player like myself. For over a month now, I have been unable to earn lives with weekly challenges, or even join in with the challenges?? After querying with support, apparently this is a deliberate update in order to give other players more chances???? 🤷🏼‍♀️ to say how unfair I think this is would be an understatement!!!! Way to go developers.... annoying the players that have been with you since the start and have spent lots of money with your App! 😡.Version: 3.7.1

Starting to get repetitive & stars not adding after each gameNoticing that they are repeating similar designs and games and it’s getting to need more and more money to earn furniture. Furthermore on limited time plays, despite earning the rewards to pay for the Reno’s they aren’t showing up in my account!!! Come on you guys you can do better!.Version: 3.2.8

Too hardThis game was great for the first 5 minutes. Then it got hard and there is no way of progressing without spending money on diamonds. Come on guys. I’m going to delete this game out of frustration..Version: 1.2.8

Fun for a bit but the ads are overwhelmingFirst few levels seem to be ad free. Higher levels have ads every couple of plays. Makes the game virtually unplayable..Version: 5.7.5

An ErrorI was playing one of the ‘timed’ makeovers, and was one move away from winning the game. I chose to purchase some pink diamonds, the computer told me my purchases was successful, but then a sign came up showing the word ‘processing’, which after a considerable time, said an error had occurred in my purchase. I looked at my pink diamonds and the original number I had were the same. I went through the process again, this time all went well, but when I checked my money total, it appears that TWO amounts have been deducted, whereas only one proper amount of diamonds allotted. This needs to be fixed please. I have been charged for two purchases but in reality have received only one..Version: 3.0.8

More puzzles then home designThe home design part of this game is actually great, fairly limited but good choices. However you spend 75% of your time playing puzzles to earn money that buys furniture. A bit of a shame, I’ll be deleting this app..Version: 1.8.0

Used to be funIt used to be a lot more fun. Now you barely get any extras to help you beat levels. They’ve taken the extras away. And the price they list furniture and decorative pieces is beyond outrageous. I hate that you can design special pieces by doing a challenge and then when you go to use them in a design/room, you have to pay to use them. Ummmm, you earned these pieces by completing a challenge that sometimes took days to complete. They’re double dipping and charging you twice is what it’s like. For instance if you won a piece of furniture, and then went to put it in your home and then found out you had to pay $9k to even put it in your house. It’s dumb. They need to reevaluate the amount you earn for levels and the extras you can win. Which they took away when they introduced the Team Rally’s and took away the weekend challenges..Version: 4.1.9

Do not download - X rated pop up advertsMy 12 year old daughter asked to download the game, it seemed a pretty innocent game given the puzzle type levels and the home design. As with all games you expect to see adverts for other games, however I was devastated to find adverts for interactive storyboard apps speaking to selling your virginity, carrying a surrogate baby and showing animated adults in a hot tub to name but a few- this is totally inappropriate and incredibly irresponsible of the developer to allow this type of advert on the app. I have deleted the app and will not be allowing any more downloads from this developer. I tried to give no stars in the rating but it doesn’t allow this..Version: 3.0.8

Great game butGreat game but quickly gets harder to pass levels and room makeover costs are too expensive. Would be better if there were more lives or they regenerate quicker and things went so expensive.Version: 1.6.5

Ads are a problemThe design part of the game is fun but the extremely long ads are so annoying..Version: 5.6.1

Done with this gameI started out loving this game, I didn’t even mind taking a long time and many tries to get to new levels. Unfortunately, now that I am over level 100, it is almost impossible to pass the level to get to be able to continue to decorate without having to pay money. It’s really frustrating because I get so close to passing the level and then I need only 1 more shape or couch or chair or something and despite having lots of colors and shapes flying around the board, I still lose. While games shouldn’t be too easy, the fact that I keep getting so close to passing the level and then end up losing is discouraging and annoying. I’ve already spent some money on this game and I’ve decided not to spend any more. It’s too bad because the game was really fun and I liked the different choices and the different rooms. I’m not willing to spend a fortune just to play though. Disappointing..Version: 2.9.7

Ads too manyGreat game but way too many ads!!!.Version: 5.6.5

Used to be goodThe game is not worth playing anymore once you get to higher levels things are more expensive and levels get a lot harder. The DIY part of the game is impractical, say you pass to level 2 or higher with the three lives if you run out of lives you get kicked back to level 1 and then have to do things over again and only have two days to be able to complete your DIY. This game used to be good and enjoyable, but now you just can’t complete rooms or challenges in time or things are too expensive that you’ll need to pass at least two or three levels make changes to the room. Property brothers is definitely a lot better to play.Version: 2.6.6

Doesn’t hold upI loved this game when I started it, but it gets old. The decorating is wonderful but they don’t offer a daily special (like garden or Homescapes) and I don’t want to buy specials. The hard levels can last for days, but that’s not too bad—unless there is a challenge room. You have 3 days and that goes quickly. It wasn’t so bad at first but the game now has doubled the coupon price for the challenge rooms. Items went from 20-40 coupons to 110 or more. I can see the progression when I look at my room and challenge history. It begins with completed etc and starts to change over to expired around the time that they made it harder. I like challenges, but when I’m running out of time due to a difficult level for which I need specials to complete, in order to buy decorations(with inflated decoration prices) for said challenge rooms well, let’s just say that I now ignore all the challenges. I did one of the 3 Xmas and then stopped. I visit the game occasionally to keep my hand in for the regular rooms but I’m no longer a daily player..Version: 2.7.7

Very UpsetI’ve been playing this game for several years now but the newest change is awful. How is anyone supposed to be able complete the limited weekend challenge or obtain keys without the gifts which include free play? Unbelievable! This seems like a money grab ploy!.Version: 3.7.1

Playing for years but ads are getting too muchAlmost 4000 games and i just am so sick of the ads taking so long - they used to be quicker but i just won’t play anymore because of them. Not worth my time - rather pay to play. It’s mindless and puts my brain to sleep at night and i like it for that..Version: 5.5.5

5 years and it’s falling apart fast.Been an active team member and player for 5 years. About a month ago the added a “feature” that killed team effectively managing teams ….about 15 messages later I’m getting no response… truly sad.Version: 5.4.7

Home DesignThis game is OK. I don’t think it’s that great due to all of the mini games. It seems as I am spending more time on the games inside the game, and I’m not spending any time designing a home! The original Design Home is a lot better in my opinion. Although this is a lot more updated, this app needs to offer you more money in a variety of ways. The only way to get this money is to either buy it, or play a mini game, which gets boring over time. This app needs the offer to watch an add to get more money. Also, you spend your energy fairly quickly. I played the mini game twice and lost all of my energy. I then had to wait forever! This game is not something that I would recommend. I do recommend Design Home though. It is a lot better. I think this game deserves 3 stars. You can tell it has good effort put into it, but not enough. To the Home Design Team: please find a way for players to earn more money without an in app purchase or a mini game! Thank You!.Version: 2.9.7

This use to be fun.I use to love this game but I’m not playing it much any longer. As others have stated, once you have been playing for a while the levels become very difficult to complete with out spending money. It’s no fun to play a level for a week. You you have very little chance to earn rewards like this. Also as others have mentioned there are no daily rewards or opportunities to earn them outside of game play. As for the challenges/DYI I really enjoyed them at first but the rewards that you earn per level are way out of wack with the cost of the items. You can play a level and literally not have a single ticket or glove drop. Not one! This has happened multiple times. Even then as you proceed through the challenges you are only earn a small fraction of what an item will cost. Yes, you can earn unlimited lives but who’s playing for ten hours straight? What is suppose to be fun has become a tedious chore with some not so subtle money grubbing attached..Version: 3.0.8

This game is cheating.I was so excited to play this game, but when getting through the game, You have to play very difficult game without any support, of course you can with purchasing. There are no any earning rewards just only ask to purchase to get want you need. I don’t really recommend anyone should play this game. Waste ur time and Just try to get money from people . all the designs are being organised, you have to follow and just only can choose which color or form you like. That’s totally not a creative game for people who want to create, design their own ideas. I would rate this game is zero star. It should be changed and improved, should give some benefit for players, not just ask them to purchase..Version: 3.0.7

A4angie70Do like this game but needs more free rewards like bombs swap moves etc as you have to pay for everything.Version: 2.1.1

Heartless game that only cares about moneyI’m in my 40s and have been playing video games since the 1980s, and I’m passionate about them. This soulless game has compelled me to write my very first review. I love video games, and I’m willing to put up with any amount of glitches and/or crashes as long as the game is solid. But this game is just totally heartless. It’s fun and addictive in the beginning, but the further along you get, the more intolerable the game becomes—both in the dialogue (gender-stereotyping ad nauseam) and in the gameplay itself, making each successive level be increasingly a game of chance rather than skill. I respect that free-to-download games have to survive financially somehow, and when a game increases in popularity yet chooses to behave as a here-today-gone-tomorrow desperate cash-in, that’s where I part ways. It’s a simple game with the potential to be awesome, and it opted to be greedy rather than awesome. Don’t waste your time or money; this game’s not worth either..Version: 3.4.1

Home design.I’ve been playing this game for a while now and genuinely enjoyed it. However I feel the more you add to the game the more it mucks up. I like the +2 but if you use it several times (which you have to sometimes) then it crashes. If I play a few levels then I get a black screen. Have to then turn off and wait til it decides to fix itself. I don’t have all this time. Sometimes the game makes a crackling sound. Thought maybe it was my iPad but I’ve bought a new one and same things are happening. Very annoying. I think I will delete it permanently. I’m just wasting my time when there’s so many of these games I could be playing and enjoying..Version: 4.8.5

Fun but hardDesign graphics are great but match games are too hard & it’s really annoying that you have to win 3+ games to earn enough to get ONE new design element. Makes progress slow & not satisfying. Come on game designers - sort it out!!.Version: 3.2.6

Boring.More time playing knock-off candy crush then the designing. What a joke! 😡.Version: 2.7.7

Bad costumer serviceRecently lost my account. Had over 4mill $$ and one day just gone. Tried to contact someone to see if they can recover my account and no one has gotten back to me. Sucks!.Version: 5.6.7

Game a bit slow.Need to make it move faster between the levels..Version: 2.1.2

Maybe do different kinds of levelsWhat I mean is create a choice of easy or hard levels. That way, if you find them really hard, you can swap to easy mode. Otherwise, amazing app.Version: 3.6.6

Fun in the beginning...This game was fun at first, but as you get to higher levels (I’m above 4600 at this point) it becomes increasingly more frustrating than it is fun. The weekend or holiday challenges somewhat add some fun, but it’s short lived. Some levels, not even notes as “hard” can take days or weeks to pass if you don’t buy extra lives, which then of course you somehow “magically” are able to pass a level. There are no daily bonuses like most games either. Also, as you get in to the higher levels the items cost so much that it takes seemingly forever to complete a design. There are also glitches that you can see if you pay close attention, combining pieces that don’t add up correctly, clearing pieces don’t subtract from the totals on the left correctly, and pieces that are supposed to clear based on your move don’t always clear correctly. Once a favorite of mine, I think I’ve wasted enough money and am tapped out on this now frustrating game..Version: 3.2.2

No respectEnjoyed the game for years. Even been regularly putting a bit of money into it. Forced to update to a version that’s no longer supported by my IPad. How does that make me want to invest in any games in the future? Anyone else miss the days of gaming that didn’t rip you off?.Version: 4.9.0

AwfulI’ve been struggling through this game for ages. You can be stuck on a level for days. To help you progress in harder levels you need the power ups, they are expensive! More times than not when you try to pull a tile in a certain direction it moves contrary to what you wanted. I don’t have touch screen issues with other connect four games. Would not recommend.Version: 3.0.6

Won’t open anymoreI’ve been playing this game for years and after the last update, it won’t open anymore. I’m so sad! I tried deleting and reinstalling, doing a hard reset on my iPad and nothing works. I was on such a high level too. Hope they fix this soon. I miss my game..Version: 4.7.1

Home DesignThis game is good, because you get 2 choose furniture and proceed in levels, but, honestly, I might be deleting it in a bit, because it only has a few levels, and I'm still waiting for them. That's not the only reason. If you want a designing game, this game is not for you. I downloaded it, thinking that I would do a lot of choose furniture, but it is just deciding the colour. I expected more from them! 😢.Version: 3.0.8

Game is a money grabTowards the stages in the 4000’s, you basically can’t pass unless you pay for extra moves. Done wasting my time on this game. It was good starting out though..Version: 3.5.7

TOO MANY GLITCHES AND OFFENSIVE ADS!This game used to be fun but recently I have glitches constantly. I get to one move to complete a level and try to get the 2 free moves by watching an advert and the game freezes when I click the purple ad button! Also many adverts either freeze and won’t let me click out of them or they just keep running over and over and you can’t stop them so you have to remove your history and start the level again. Some of the adverts are wholly inappropriate and offensive. Too violent and sexist. Far too many scantily clad girls for a family type game. Overall I’m thoroughly disappointed in this game. It started with promise to be a long running go to game but now it’s far too corrupt to be enjoyable!.Version: 4.8.4

Level 1124I have spent a lot of time playing this game and I have got to a high level, however there are a few things that make it a pain and the main one is the dreadful customer support. The game is glitchy, you complain... they ask you to upload screen recordings, which does not seem possible? Only photos can be uploaded from what I can see. They take ages to respond, don’t actually read the message you’ve written and ask you to do things you have already told them you have done. The videos you have to watch in between levels are excessive, so they’re really getting their money’s worth out of the player, but giving very little in return. Really, is this the best you can do...?.Version: 2.8.6

DeletingMy peeve is I have spent a lot of money. Some levels are stupidly difficult, and unwinnable. Therefore, I no longer enjoy this game. I am deleting today. I’ll find a new game that does not cost so much, nor start my day frustrated..Version: 5.6.9

This is fun ... but ...I have really loved playing this game for some weekend chill out time. The renovations are all really different and the game itself is challenging. My problem is that some levels are so difficult that you can attempt them time and time again and get nowhere near passing. I am starting to get frustrated to the point of considering deleting the app. It shouldn’t be this hard..Version: 4.8.5

DesignBasically is 100 different from the ad do not get u play more puzzles than design.Version: 5.1.1

A shameIt’s a shame to only give it 3 stars because the game is addictive however the progression for the games gets hard very quickly meaning you lose your lives fast and then can’t play for a long time until you gain your lives back, then the money earns is spent is seconds on decorating the rooms, loses the fun of playing the game rather quickly. Also the incessant demand to purchase gems, lives, money etc is extremely annoying.Version: 5.6.3

The life refresh rate is the only downside!The game is great, it’s one of the only games I’ve got on my phone that I go back to consistently. I think I’ve had it for a good couple of years now, however my only gripe with it is the rate at which lives refresh. Half an hour to gain 1 life (2 1/2 hours to regain all 5) makes the game incredibly frustrating to play, especially on the harder levels. I’m fully aware they want their players to buy gems in order to refresh them which makes me even more reluctant to do so. It would be a bonus to gain a life when you complete a ‘hard’ level..Version: 4.1.7

Such a shameI love this game and have been playing for quite sometime. You can’t fault the graphics and design , they are brilliant. On the disappointing side some of the levels are ridiculously difficult to get through to enhance your money. Several times you are unable to actually finish the design level in the allocated time. Obviously people can’t be on the game 24/7. Another disappointing factor is that I’m currently trying to get a front door... over $6,000 for one addition. A little overpriced! Some additions are ridiculously priced to achieve. This would most definitely be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️if these flaws (in my opinion) were addressed.Version: 3.6.0

Glitchy Money GrabFine as a free game, but they have increasingly altered the game in an effort to convince people to spend money. Levels are definitely predetermined for how many turns you need to win them - to the point the “boosters” won’t work properly (taking out random pieces rather then helpful ones) or blocks will actually change colour to sabotage you and make the level un-winnable in the free number of turns. I was shocked and didn’t believe it the first time or two this happened - but about 20 times later, it’s evident they are pushing me to buy extra turns..Version: 5.3.1

Piggy Bank and LevelsOne, why on earth do you suggest we pay for a piggy bank of gems we EARN by completing levels? I would love to understand the logic behind that other than the obvious, cash grab. Two, I can play a puzzle ‘level’ at least fifteen times before the game almost seems to give it to me with a bunch of smooth combos. After around 2 times (about 5 lives/attempts each time they regenerate) of running out of lives I seem to manage to win the level. The game is fun but I will delete it if this continues to be increasingly more difficult. There is no reason you should have to pay to win, and I would highly suggest you remove the price tag from your ‘piggy bank.’ It is not a smooth move if you want to keep players, and besides, we need the gems badly to win a level we are so often ONE square away from😒 Not amused. That is all..Version: 3.3.2

Annoying…Once you get to a certain level you cannot progress without buying stuff. Also, you don’t get much reward off of the match 3 puzzles so everytime you “buy” one piece furniture you have to again play the match 3 before you can design anything else. Don’t waste your time or money.Version: 5.1.3

To hardThe puzzles are to hard and can’t pass any of them. Therefore can’t design anything. Can you not accumulate lives or diamonds for extra goes instead of only having to buy..Version: 2.2.4

Cool game but...I want to start out by saying that this is a good game that is most of the time interesting and fun, with great graphics and really real looking objects and people. I really want to love this game, and don’t get me wrong, it is a good game, but I don’t like how you don’t get a daily bonus, or any bonus...and that really wouldn’t bother me if I could actually pass the match levels, but sometimes, the hints aren’t very helpful, or you use up all of your lives/energy trying to beat a level. I also think that the in game price of five more moves to way too high for what you get, and for people who aren’t a fan of in app purchases, just seems like a waste…where as they would prob rather invest their time and money in another game that is more fun and easier. I think that there is too much “candy crush” and not enough decorating and enjoying the game. I will say that I do like the game and it has a lot of potential, but there are a lot of things that I would fix. 😉.Version: 3.3.7

UghI LOVED this game, until i got to level like 520. suddenly they have these bricks that make the level near impossible to complete because they keep appearing. deleted the game because it was so frustrating..Version: 5.5.3

VERY FRUSTRATINGI love this game so much but when it gets to the point where I don’t have any coins to decorate the house is very frustrating. I love decorating games and stuff like that but I’m in the higher levels and they are so hard to beat. It takes me more than 4 days just to get 800 coins which I cant get anything out of that. So if this game updates where we get at least a daily bonus of coins or at least have us watch a video for coins that would be much better than playing this “candy crush” game to get the coins. If like littler kids want to play this game then it will be much more difficult for them than it is me and it gets me and a lot of others very frustrated. So if you could please take this into some consideration and make the levels easier or have a way where we can get the coins for free like watching ads or something that would be awesome, and much more pleasing for others. I will be opening this app so much more than I have lately if you guys decide to make the change. Thank you!.Version: 2.8.6

Key challenge gone again 😢😢Please post my latest review as the game has been totally ruined again !!!!! Why are you continuing with this rally garbage which everyone hates??? The chest challenge was restored for a couple of weeks and everyone was happy again but its gone again this week. I’m so glad I didn’t buy the piggy bank. Why couldn’t the rally have been removed instead?? I am so disappointed I really thought the devs had listened to the feedback and gave the players what they wanted. As someone else said this is the death of the game which is such a shame as we were all really enjoying it and motivated to play and spend money. Not now. No point in playing. And EVERYONE feels the same. Not one person likes the rally 🤦‍♀️.Version: 4.0.4

Total rip offDon’t download this app it’s good at first but then it wants you to buy everything once you get about two projects into it. Also, the levels are way too hard and you keep losing lives pointlessly then you have to wait forever just to get one more life. Then sometimes you get this ad which won’t go away so you have to restart your phone and it’s just a pain. I think that there should be more freedom in furniture choices and you shouldn’t have to buy everything with coins and gems. Also you shouldn’t have to buy anything. And there shouldn’t be the levels that are like candy crush. If you search home design in the search bar, I would suggest the game above this one..Version: 3.0.4

Great... butIt’s a great game and highly addictive when you see all the pieces come together.. however, the amount of times you have to play the game annoys the hell out of me and I end up giving up half way through - especially given only 25 moves to eliminate 100 of the chosen colours x 3 is less than ideal..Version: 1.4.6

Home designI’ve been playing this for a couple of years now & it was my favourite. Eventually though the games got soooo hard it was taking days even weeks to pass a level. Constantly dropping down levels all the time. Feels negative & all about failure in the end. I deleted it & am trying again to see if there are any improvements, otherwise I’ll be sadly writing this one off..Version: 4.4.9

If you get stuck without diamonds, the only way is to payIt’s a good addictive game overall. The only annoying thing is if you get stuck on a puzzle, the only way is to keep playing or buy diamonds. There should be another way to engage players. And what the hell is the deal with the piggy bank? So I collect money in a piggy and then I need to pay to buy it off? What a silly concept!.Version: 3.5.1

Good game to start off withThis is a good game and is really fun, but eventually the levels get really hard to pass and you can’t continue..Version: 3.0.0

Repetitive levelsReally enjoy this game & have been playing it for a long time. However I’m on level 1618 & have played 3 games at least that I know I’ve already played.....but cheeky. Also, there should be a tweak option upon completing rooms before they are showcased to a client. There are many times that I’m unsure whether I like the room I’ve designed & then unknowingly select the final change, with no option to review what I’ve done..Version: 3.5.1

Too Many AdsUsed to enjoy this game now it’s full of ads and they regularly cause my screen to go blank and I can’t get back into the game for an hour or so. Can hardly ever use all my 5 turns for this reason!.Version: 3.9.6

So many ads all of a suddenI’ve been playing this game for a few weeks and I was really enjoying it. However, a few days ago suddenly ads started popping up after every two turns I took. This is an unreasonable amount of advertising and it has made gameplay frustrating and unenjoyable. I contacted the app developers to check if so many ads were meant to pop up as, honestly, I’ve never played a game that forces you to watch so many ads. They haven’t got back to me so I will be uninstalling this app. Avoid this app, it’s no fun with all these ads spamming you every couple of minutes..Version: 4.3.6

CareerPlease update more frequently for different rooms in Career section. So frustrating. Have all this money saved up with no place to use it..Version: 5.1.8

Fun game but….This game used to be great but they have gone overboard with the ads. I understand having to see some ads but this is ridiculous now. It’s every two seconds there is another ad. Not only that but now it automatically sends you to download every game advertised by opening the App Store, even if you don’t click it. It has gotten to the point that I can’t even play it any more because you spend 90% of your time watching ads and having it redirect your phone to the ad product location. I have finally gotten to the point that I would rather just not play. Congratulations, you have figured out how many ads it take to alienate your audience away from playing your game. It’s a shame because I loved the game but I can stomach how greedy these guys are with the ads. It’s just not fun any more. Just annoying..Version: 4.1.3

Thank youMake the smaller items cheaper, it’s annoying to be constantly on tough levels for silly little items..Version: 2.1.1

Too many adsToo many ads. After every level is an ad. I’m on level 278. I’m going to delete it because of all the ads. I understand one or two add but why after every level????.Version: 2.2.8

Good but annoyingIt’s good but super annoying when you have to play matching games to earn coins. I think it would be good to have more than one way to earn coins. It would really improve the enjoyment to this game..Version: 2.8.4

ConfusedLike the design part, but I’m not sure if this is a puzzle game or a home design game. Having to spend 90% of the time doing the puzzles is so annoying and there hard, Furnitures too expensive for the amount of time spent on each puzzle..Version: 2.4.1

Would have been more but…..I loved this game, played continuously for months, then as the levels got harder and more ‘updates’ changed the rules of gaining gem. There was no further opportunities to ‘win’ gems only a buy option and for people like me who want to play and not spend, it has become increasingly difficult and frustrating. Disappointed is the least way to describe what this game has become. I rarely play nowadays, a very sad occasion. Would recommend playing up to level 1,000 however after that its the developers choice, if you win and continue, or lose and lose interest..Version: 4.0.4

What happened?I stopped playing for about a year, decided to come back to the game over a month ago and was surprised with the changes, including watching ads to get extra moves. I thought it was a good thing, as there are many times I’m a move away from winning and don’t want to spend money to win. But now the ads have been removed, and it’s making it harder to progress. That, or the levels are just giving me bad RNG. Weird that it was removed..Version: 4.5.2

Has potentialAt first I really liked this game however, when it comes to decorating, different decorations give you different amount of points so if you prefer one of the decorations that have less points you have to decide whether to go for points or design. Secondly, I’m not that far into the game and it’s gotten to the point where I get stuck on levels for days at a time. There are very few booster's and they are not very helpful. I love match games I’m at level 9000 on Gardenscapes but I’m on level 178 of this game and I’m stuck. I’ve tried using the couple of boosters I was given no luck and this comes after fact that only a couple of levels ago I was stuck on another level for several days. It has the feel of a game that you have to spend money on all the time in order to progress and with all the options there isn’t enough to keep me coming back or bang for the buck. That being said I still give it 3 stars because it definitely does have potential but either the levels need to be a little easier or the boosters perhaps a little more helpful. Also, it would be nice not to be penalized for liking one decoration over the next..Version: 4.8.6

Candy Crush Maniac? This game is for you.If you’re good at solving levels of puzzles, you found your favorite place. At first this game was the bomb; cute little interior designs, easy puzzles to solve to win money and buy furnitures & etc. But, the game just gets harder and it takes me more than 5 times to start solving them. Worst part is you only get 5 energy and to earn back those energies, it takes about an hour for each. If you do win, you earn money that aren’t even enough to buy a sofa. It becomes frustrating when you are so close to solving the puzzle but are out of moves (they give you like 20), and eventually out of energies to keep trying. Your only option is to use diamonds and what happens when you’re out of diamonds? Cash it up! There’s no other ways to earn anything but cash cash cash! I give it a second star for no ads..Version: 3.1.4

FrustratingThe game overall is a lot of fun, but the match 3 puzzles are awful. You won’t be able to beat the level until it wants you to. It seems very set up. The functions of the different pieces hardly make sense. Sometimes they will “miraculously” make you win the whole board in 3 moves at the last minute, and the rest of the time you will lose with one piece you can’t match for 15 moves. I’m on level 100 and I haven’t beat a single level where I didn’t follow the “hints” to an exact tee. But then that’s only sometimes because other times the hints will make you lose. It’s really annoying, especially when you get unlimited lives and time is wasted because you have to play every level 3 times before it basically lets you win in 5 moves. I’ve played a ton of match 3 games so I know it’s not just me! They really just don’t give you enough moves and want you to spend money on gems that you will have to use every single round just to get that ONE extra winning move..Version: 2.8.3

No rewardsI love this game but giving up on it. Too hard you don’t get any rewards to help you move on. Shame.Version: 2.2.4

Ads are so glitchyI really enjoy this game - it’s one of my most played games on my device. But the ads in this game are SO glitchy and freeze all the time. Conveniently, this happens more often when you watch an ad to get extra moves in the round you’re playing... It’s also pretty aggravating once you get to the higher levels; instead of new, creative harder levels, you instead just do old ones over and over with less moves. The ‘hard levels’ also have no rhyme or reason - when you aren’t doing one of the timed events, they occur every 5 rounds or so, but when you’re doing a timed event they happen about every other round - I’ve even gotten 4 in a row before during a timed event. There are also no way to earn things like the in-game currency (jewels). You're given 20, then the only option to have is to spend money. You don’t necessarily need the jewels, but when you get 4 hard levels in a row it would be nice to buy some extra moves, since the free option of viewing ads just freezes the game... If the ad glitches were fixed (instead of getting worse) and there was a way to earn jewels, even slowly, I’d give it 5 stars..Version: 3.7.7

Ads ruin the gameThe amount of ads is beyond ridiculous. Often have to wait through 30+second ads having to press x Botton or other stupid combination of buttons to make the ads go away, then wait another 15 seconds for multiple ad timers for SAME ad! Ruined the whole game. Would have gladly paid a one-time fee to own the game ad free but I’m not wasting my time on this anymore..Version: 5.5.3

Long ads between levelsEnjoyable but lately spending more time watching 30sec or minute long Royal Match or Royal Kingdom adverts between each attempt at a level so getting pretty bored now. Some levels are hard and each item costs more and more in game coins so you don’t progress much between watching endless adverts and trying to get enough coins/stars/coupons for each item. Shame as game did show promise initially.Version: 5.4.4

Was fun at firstBut now that I’m in higher levels it’s almost impossible to complete one level with the limited number of tries. Also the DIY and limited time events are impossible. I used to be able to complete them almost every time now I haven’t completed any in over a year. It cost way too many gloves or tickets for each step. The limited event going on right now has already cost me over 2500 tickets and I still have at least 3 more 90+ pieces of furniture. I think the furnitures should cost half tickets that it currently cost and the diy event should be open to keep working on every week until we complete it. Ince you finish one diy project then you can unlock another one. I probably played this game 6 + hours this weekend trying to finish the event and now I’m just irritated and don’t want to play at all. So if you want something to play once in a while then this is fine, but once you pass 2000 levels forget about it and don’t even bother with any of the events.Version: 3.2.4

ReviewTo be honest when I first downloaded this game I thought it would of been just a design game(which is why I downloaded it) only to Find out that we had to earn coins by playing some very irrelevant game which had no relations to the idea that the promotional adds give. If you are looking for a design game this probably isn’t the game for you! I absolutely can not stand this game and will soon be deleting it and trying to find a game that suited my wants in a design game😂is that so hard to ask?.Version: 2.9.8

Pornographic ads!Not for kids!!! Too many ads. Hence the low rating..Version: 5.2.2

Fun game but...I started playing this game and it gave me the first room/tutorial. I was getting a bit annoyed with the fact you had to do a puzzle per item that needed placing and then as they price up you need to complete two puzzles per item. I was willing to continue and started the second room when it then told me not only do you need to do several puzzles per item but you also have energy limits to deal with meaning you cannot endlessly play it. I was hoping for a good decorating game but this is more of a puzzle game with a sideline of decorating because the amount of puzzles you need to do takes over the decorating enjoyment, especially as there are only 3 items each to chose from. I think it either needs to be re-marketed as a puzzle game with a fun decorating element or change it to one puzzle per item rather than money earned by the puzzles and add maybe 6 different chairs/sofas/tables etc rather than just 3 if this is going to stay as an actual decorating game..Version: 3.1.6

MmmmThis game could be a lot better, like if you win a game you get more coins than you do at the moment so you can build more, you could do mini games to earn coins so you can still build and design if your stuck on a level, and maybe you could add more furniture and colours for designing! Just some suggestions otherwise this game is pretty fun..Version: 2.8.2

Used to love but now...I used to love this game. I would play every single day. I really loved how the designs are my style and the different options still go together. However, they added a piggy bank feature where you have to pay real money for money you’ve earned in the game. Sometimes you get stuck on really difficult levels. Some levels I’ve used like 5 special add-ons (which are expensive) and I still won’t be able to get past them. In the meantime, a challenge might end. Also, whenever you gain unlimited lives they start right away. In one of the weekly challenges you can get consecutively more unlimited lives. It adds up to like 10 hours of consecutive unlimited lives that you have to use immediately. If you don’t use the lives right away they’ll expire which is frustrating because you get no reward. The pieces of furniture cost soooooo much in the later levels..Version: 2.7.7

Need to do something about battery consumptionI enjoy the game, but it really drains battery life! If you could do something to improve that would be 4-4.5 star for me ⭐️.Version: 4.4.2

I’m not the biggest fan of this game.I loved the look of this game when I first saw it! The video ad I got in one of my games made it look like you could just design a home without having to do anything to get coins. I downloaded it right away seeing that it had good ratings. I went into the app after it downloaded hoping I would be able to design some rooms and houses without having to complete any games to get coins, like what occurred with some other design apps I downloaded and quickly deleted. Sadly, I was let down. I hate having to play games to get coins! If you create and game like this at least please make the game and challenge different! I’m tired of always having to slide my finger to make groups of 3 to complete the challenge to get coins!!!!!! Multiple design games have this and eventually it gets boring. There is one really great design game that includes no need to play any games! If you ever plan on making a Design game or any other type of game we’re you need to get coins to unlock things, please consider the fact that people are tired of games like this where you have to slide your finger to get groups of three. Either make it so you have to play no game at all, like maybe answer a riddle, or make no challenge or game at all. Thanks for reading this and I hope you realize my point!.Version: 2.8.6

Fun at first, butWhen I first got this game I was super excited! And it WAS fun at first. However, as you progress the difficulty of the puzzle games increase as well as the money you spend per career level (which is to be expected). However, these “match 3” puzzles get UNNECESSARILY difficult. I’m talking DAYS of not being able to solve one puzzle level. I mean, perhaps I’m not the brightest at puzzle games, however this is a problem many experience according to many other reviews. Instead of having fun and renovating rooms with a nice storyline, it’s waiting hours or even days to earn money through the puzzles. The puzzles are the only way! There’s no daily reward or anything of the sort. It’s either solve all of the puzzles or pay up using your money. There is also no actual way to accumulate gems either; that is something you have to buy as well. As the game progressed I found myself getting much more tired of it and frustrated. I’m glad there aren’t any ads of the sort, however in order to succeed in the game happily you have to spend money..Version: 3.1.6

WhyI was really loving this game but when people put fake adds on tiktok or things like this and it’s a total different game whit puzzle that’s so bad like why i would have like it whit no puzzle or like small task but this is a big no for me there’s more puzzle than design like please do a game whit out this.Version: 5.2.5

Would give 5 stars if they hadn’t put in adsLoved this game when it was no ads, now they just randomly pop up all the time. It was cool they offered them as an alternate to purchasing jewels to get extra moves/lives, as I could choose whether or not I wanted to see ads but now they are just always playing randomly. I will probably stop playing the game now there are these random ads..Version: 5.2.4

DON’T BE SCAMMED!I supported this game Day 1 and wasn’t having any issues until I beat all levels and purchased additional items to assist in my plays and then the levels started freezing up and not allowing to move on. I contacted them daily for nearly 2+ months to try to get assistance and provided them every time my issue and the Transaction ID numbers for my many many purchases and explained I just wanted the game to just reset we’re I left off to play. No one would get back to me for days and then ask me to reproduce the same information when they should be able to see the previous persons notation. I FINALLY just gave up, they took my money, kept all my game play coins and never responded properly to assist me. I would NOT refer anyone play this game as it is a scam to get money. I will be contact the BBB and the gaming company to report this illegal and unethical business practices. Don’t get Played, DO NOT SUPPORT this game, or you’ll be sorry!.Version: 3.1.4

Annoying game when it should be fun!This is a good little game that is spoiled by the increase in difficulty as you progress through the levels. It means you go through the 5 lives in no time and are left unable to play for ages. The game is practically forcing you to buy lives, which I refuse to do, so I'm left endlessly waiting. The levels that are have the limited time events are almost impossible to finish as they are so difficult and again you lose your 5 lives so quickly and then have to wait so long, the time runs out. It takes all the fun out of the game if you can never complete things. The choice of furniture and the (lack) colour scheme is also very limited. It has the potential to be a really good game and it's just spoiled. I guess you're only wanting players who are willing to pay.....I'm not one of them!.Version: 3.2.2

Doesn’t give you your purchasesI have “successfully purchased” 100 gems FOUR TIMES and not received them, but I’m still being charged through my iTunes! Was seriously loving this game until this rip off. And sadly as most of these games go, you eventually have to purchase items or moves because the round is too hard to advance without the boosts..Version: 2.8.5

This game is riggedI’m on level 276. Once you start hitting the 200s, I realized that they will make you play the same round at least 15 times before you win and go to the next level, especially the hard ones. I get it’s supposed to be challenging but be for real. They want you to make in-app purchases but I refuse to do that. Then they have them 17 hour challenges, but I can’t even participate because I can’t advance to the next level to get anymore coins or those other token things that you need for the challenges. Level 276 requires 90 hearts, 90 triangles, and 50 gray blocks but they only give you 15 tries. I’ve played this level at least 15 times and I still can’t get to the next level. This just takes the fun out of the game and makes me not even want to play anymore. This is why I don’t play these types of games because the creators rig it so much because they are money hungry. This is ridiculous..Version: 5.6.8

Bad updateNot a fan of the new update. Uses all of your 5 lives even if you pass a level so can only do 5 levels at a time. Makes me not want to play anymore. Such a shame. Use to enjoy the game.Version: 2.3.3

PuzzlesI love this game so much the only thing that I dont enjoy is that I don’t really like the puzzles because they r way too hard for me. But I love the home design. I would appreciate it if u can maybe make an option to do the puzzles or not. I really hope that u guys hear my request and do something about this. Thx 😁.Version: 1.8.3

Very disappointedPlay the game till I got level 200 (did it 5days) thats how much I was enjoying the game but it had a loaded of glitches. Spent money buying gems and thought I should uninstall and reinstall it to help with the glitches. HOWEVER, when I reinstalled the game I lost everything and was back at level one. Then I started again and the support team got me back to level I was on but NEVER got back my gems which I paid real money for. Customer support said they needed my ID number in order to get me back to where I was. Only problem with that is the ID number is unique to each download. So when I uninstalled the game I hadn’t made a record of it. The next issue is that when I began playing the game three options for design were free in that you didn’t have to spend 250 gems to get the third option. Which is the nicest one and the one the client always wants. I had made it all the way to the hotel room in the first download before that changed. At the time of the second download it asked almost immediately if not immediately. Now I’ve uninstalled and won’t being going back to as I can’t be bother. Also will be contacting apple about a refund..Version: 2.7.9

Fun but a few problemsOk so when I first saw this game on an ad. It looked like the dream game I had been searching for for a while now. A game kind of like this but way more options and no puzzles. I read a few reviews and this game seemed ok. So I got it and I started playing and then it told me I had to play puzzles to get money. I got really annoyed because I didn’t want to play any candy crush like puzzle game, but I went ahead and played it. Everything costs so much and the puzzles give you almost nothing. Also you get like two-three options that are the same design in very similiar colors so I wasn’t happy about that. But this game is kind of addicting (why I kept it for so long) and it’s not that bad, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone..Version: 4.5.6
