Stardew Valley for Negative User Reviews
✓ Rewards VanishI’m writing this here because after searching, there is no direct way to contact support. You must participate in a forum and, based on support posts I’ve read, no one official responds there. There are certain quests in this game where you win rewards - two of these rewards have vanished now. I’d either have to forfeit the 120+ hours I’ve played by starting over or just give up. The bundles can be completed once only; it’s the overarching goal of the game - complete the bundles and restore the community centre. This is bad and it’s worse that you can contact someone about it. I don’t think it’s possible that I just dropped the rewards, it seems you would have to actively delete them. This game hasn’t been adapted very well for iOS and needs greater attention. Other than that, it’s a really enjoyable game. That’s why it’s so frustrating that these rewards have vanished..Version: 1.17
✓ It’s Stardew Valley!! But...This game needs two things to be perfect. The first should be easy, the second maybe not. First you need to support gamepads like the Nimbus. Touch controls are clunky and awkward especially for long periods. I mean the gamepad almost works, including the menus and most everything else, but I can’t use it to interact with anything. So please port your control scheme from the switch or wherever to iOS! The second would be harder but great would be native AppleTV support. That way I should be able to play the game on my Apple TV 4K. I don’t actually own any of the console versions so it would be nice to have this option. Thanks for a great game! It gets 5 stars on steam! But the execution needs work..Version: 1.03
✓ ProblemWon’t open anymore and keeps crashing ive done everything to try and fix it please help!!!!!.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ FishingThis game would be perfect if you could actually fish. Sure you get a pole and you can catch the first tutorial fish. After that though it is impossible! You can only catch junk and plants, ONLY because it’s an automatic catch. The controls for fishing really need to be fixed or changed all together! Please fix this!.Version: 1.37
✓ BugsI love this game, but the app constantly glitches to not being able to close things like inventory. I then have to close the game and lose all my progress of the day. For a game I paid $9 for I expect more 😕.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Masterpiece game with one big problemI’ve played the heck out of the PC version of the game and was ecstatic that I can now play it on my phone whenever and wherever. However, the mobile version has one major flaw: the controls. The control system is a kind of “point-and-click” system where you tap a grid-square not only to move, but to do an action as well. This control system is OK when it comes to building and farming, but mining and the skull cavern are a different story. I wish I had a nicer way to put it, but the point-and-click controls completely ruin the game once you hit the mines. The mines are essential in progressing in the game, but with the controls as they are now, it is EXTREMELY difficult and frustrating to go spelunking. Killing mobs takes ages with both auto attack and manual attack. Auto attack constantly spams mobs out of range and manual attacking takes a long time to maneuver and attack without getting hit. Moving around is just way too difficult to do with current controls. It is clunky and annoying to use. In my opinion, the controls ruin the rest of the game. Adding a joystick or something of the sort will definitely improve the experience, but right now, all you can efficiently do is maintenance of save files you’ve moved over from your PC..Version: 1.02
✓ So many glitchesI love the game don’t get me wrong, just hate they hate neglected the iOS and other versions that isn’t on PC, like when you are finish the reeling sound does not go away, and most of the time the places you buy stuff glitches and you have to zoom really close just to get that menu up, and randomly the hearts on your animals will just go way even if you pet them every day and let them out side, the rocks/grass/trees will be on your screen but you cannot interact with them. There are others that don’t come to mind right now. Just hope they fix this, it’s a really great game. But with the glitches I won’t recommend..Version: 1.5.6.39
✓ No more updates?Game deserves 1 star now. Kinda Trash they never really took the game to the next level kinda disappointed Co-op never came to mobile and Updates stopped 9months ago safe to say dont buy the game its a waste of money..Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ I like the game howeverIt’s be crashing a lot lately(can’t make it through the day so it’s pointless to play), quite annoying, please fix if you can..Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ Don’t be fooled by good reviewsThe game is dull. After the initial intro everything becomes pointless. You can mine resources and sell them, or you can grow food and sell it. But then what? The plot is pretty much absent. After the intro I had no idea what the game wanted from me next. Maybe it’s just a problem of the mobile version, but controls are unplayable unless all you want is cut trees and plant crops..Version: 1.07
✓ MultiplayerCan you put in multiplayer? Everybody has been waiting for it but it hasn’t ever come😒.Version: 1.37
✓ Wonderful game but glitchesI love this game! The only thing i find is that i cannot place the special orders into their receptacles. Like if i have Gus’ giant omelet quest i cannot put the eggs in his fridge, same for Willy’s bug meat quest. I hope they fix this, but other than that i look forward to what they come out with next!.Version: 1.5.6.36
✓ Put it out on Mac App Store plzI love this game, but why can’t the developers put it on the Mac App Store so people like me who payed 10 dollars for an awesome game but want to play it on Mac. This is a brilliant game but make it more accessible please please please I want to play it more rather than pay more ..Version: 1.4.5.141
✓ Changes need to be made.Stardew Valley has been amazing gameplay wise. I love the characters, story line, custom GUI’s and the general feeling the game provides the user experience; however, primary playing as a PC player, the IOS addition changes the Default GUI scales, rotation and much more including inventory sorting. The game GUI wise has been revamped understandable so for smaller iPhone players. I truly believe that the developers of Stardew Valley should create the game exactly the same as the switch for iPad players. I also experienced a ton of bugs using a PS4 DualShock controller. From not being able to click certain buttons in different inventories, stack items or individual take one from a certain item stack. I truly believe that the IOS version of Stardew Valley has the potential to provide users with the best possible experience without ruining the game with its adjusted additions. Please bring back the OG SDV. Many thanks!.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Dev plsStarted at 5 stars, then went to 4 due to combat issues, going to 3 now because it’s crashed on me 3 times in the skull cavern mines. Even with the bat combat I adapted to try to make it through these mines. But now my third time with a haul of iridium that it’s just crashed the game on me. With a 2018 iPad that shouldn’t happen. Hope it’s being worked on..Version: 1.03
✓ Controller support is awfulJust bought the game to cast to my tv and use a controller. There is no way to open your journal with the controller, you cannot change any settings, you can’t create your character, and you can throw items in the trash or move them around in your inventory. All of those things must be done using the touch screen which makes it pointless to use a controller.Version: 1.5.6.35
✓ Buggy DisplayGreat game and played hours on it on my old phone. For the iPhone 14 pro, the display is very distorted, being zoomed out and buttons are either completely covered or cut off as they’re past the edge of the screen. I would have hoped there would have been an update for this issue by now since it’s been 4 months since the release of the phone..Version: 1.5.6.32
✓ Sewer Key Cutscene not loadingUnfortunately the day after I finally gave Gunther 60 artefacts and minerals I did not get the sewer key cutscene. Instead Pierre came and told me he had new seeds for year 2. Year 3 with 2 artefacts left and Gunther still has not given me the key. Obviously this is kind of annoying since I can’t interact with Krobus(and therefore buy a star drop) catch the mutant carp( stopping me from getting another star drop for catching all fish) AND making the shrine of uncertainty unavailable. Pls PLEASE fix. I’m no game developer but perhaps making the game check if youve donated 60 artefacts every night instead of activating after 60 dono’s? Srsly pls help~ 3 Stars, It should be 5 but this one bug has caused me quite a bit of grief....Version: 1.37
✓ I want to rate this 5 starsThe game is amazing, immersive and family friendly. I love it. Unfortunate I do not love the way the fishing is set up on IOS. Asides from the first fish you catch, I’ve been unable to catch any fish at all. I’ve spent so many games days to no avail. I really hope this is something that the developers can work on..Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ HELP PLEASEI’ve been playing this game non stop the past 2 days and I’m absolutely loving it. The problem is I want to be able to NOT stop playing because I’m enjoying it not because of the constant crashes occurring each time there is a change in scene eg leaving my farm to town, waking up, selling things etc. This has happened a few times where my game will be playing and then crash and go back to my iPhone lock screen but since today’s update (23-March) there has been 5 crashes in the past 10 minutes please fix this bc I don’t know how I’m going to get through quarantine without this game as I’ve already grown so attached to it!!!.Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ UghAfter the newest update I can’t plant seeds, interact with people and I also can’t go fishing if I try I’ll get booted out of the game, Please fix this..Version: 1.13
✓ Need a newer versionPlz update the game version and increase more content.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ PersonI was wondering if there was going to be an update involving local multiplayer coming out for PS4 or mobile I feel that would be really fun then I could play with my sister.Version: 1.36
✓ Update problemsEver since the last update, everything is messed up. Playing on an iPad Pro 2nd gen. Energy bar is super tiny, and no way to make it bigger. Fishing bar is small, unless I zoom in on the screen and then it also zooms in. Toolbar automatically defaults to smallest size whenever I start a game, even though the size is large in the menu selection. When I move it up by one notch, it suddenly jumps to the larger size, but then if I close app and re-open, size defaults back to the smallest. Tried to complete Robin special order, but when I tried to deposit the hardwood into her shed, it wouldn’t let me select anything in my inventory menu. I really like this game, but the update caused more problems then it fixed. Please resolve soon as I don’t want to stop playing. Thanks..Version: 1.5.6.34
✓ Disappointing on iPhone 14+Wish I could add a photo to show what I mean. Unfortunately this game isn’t playable on my iPhone because you can’t exit out of pages that pop up as the x is shown off screen. The top item in your inventory is also off screen and painful to try to select (started the game thinking I didn’t even have an axe). Pretty disappointing for such a great game really. Guess I’ll stick to PC..Version: 1.5.6.32
✓ Awesome, but FlawedDon’t get me wrong, I love this game! I have hundreds of hours on the Steam version and I was so hyped for a mobile version coming out. I like how they didn’t produce a washed down version of Stardew Valley and kept it fundamentally the same. But, the controls need to be updated. It’s tapping and holding down to move and use your items. This creates a weird combination of the two especially when you’re fighting in the mines. Your hand is blocking your view of your energy and health bar when you want to mine something, fight, or move somewhere. The slimes are attacking you and it’s hard to fight back given the current controls. The auto fighting option doesn’t help whatsoever. It seems to make it even worse, in my opinion. I suggest adding joystick or buttons of some kind like in RPGs for moving and using items. If the developers don’t like the idea of having that as the automatic controls, there should at least be an option for it. Maybe it’s an iPad thing, but the fishing mini game is so small. It takes up less than half of my screen and is hard to manage. Even the tutorial for the fishing was difficult because of that. I’m sure after a new update comes, all will be fixed and I can’t wait for that. I’ll also change my review to reflect what it is currently. I hope this helps somewhat and if anyone is actually reading this, thank you for your time..Version: 1.01
✓ Great game but.Stardew valley I’ve played on pc and now on mobile which I have enjoyed but the joystick buttons sometimes don’t work and has led me to die many times in the mine so overall it’s a great game.Version: 1.07
✓ BugsI’ve had this game for 2 days and it keeps kicking me off. I just finished mining and had tons of precious materials then the game kicked me off and I lost it all. Not the first time it’s happened. Super frustrating that I don’t want to keep playing.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Great game except for glitchesI downloaded Stardew Valley recently and I find it really fun, and worth the money. However, I recently encountered a bug - after exiting the app during the day (without having saved my file since it autosaved the previous night), I opened the file, and it’s at 6 am the day when I left off. This isn’t an issue, since it was my fault for not saving the game, but when I try to tap on the floor of my house to get up, it just selects the furniture where I tapped. When I tap a part of the floor with no furniture, nothing happens. I’m on Day 20 of Summer in my first year and I have an iPhone 7. Even when I made a new file, the same thing happened to me the first morning. Nothing I can do is fixing the glitch, and I can’t play the game at all! Without this glitch, Stardew Valley is one of the best games I’ve played, and I would have left five stars, but I can’t even play the game anymore because of this glitch!.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Good, but starting to get…I spent a lot of time playing this game, and away from other real-life things that are more important. This game was enjoyable for a while. The story ended for me when I bought a house FOR an NPC replacing her trailer. And I didn’t even go into the Skull Cavern yet to get all those iridium ores, but I had had half a million G’s at this point. And I also got the green house filled with ancient fruits—which was more than enough. Had farm with animals. Had everything I needed to make money. I felt it was getting redundant by then. That I had no other objectives that’s meaningful. I might get back into it again and continue but my mind is shut off from the game at this point. I have no problems with old-shool graphics. But Had the graphics been a little better, I would have continue playing, I think. I just don’t understand how so many people continue playing this game for a long time getting millions of G’s—to do what? Building your house when no NPC cares about? No more NPCs to help make their homes better. Basically your a God or King among them. No, it got boring for me. In the end I felt like there’s No end game. Still I gave this game a 3-star rating..Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Addictive.This is a fantastic game. I love that it’s a game that you only need to purchase once and that’s it. Making money in the game is a little difficult but I guess that just takes time. Fishing, however, is nearly impossible and incredibly frustrating hence why I didn’t give this game a 5 star rating. I wouldn’t bother fishing but because there’s an achievement requirement for it, I’m trying my best but the fishing aspect of the game needs to be changed. The fact that if you lightly tap once or release your finger from the screen half a second too long then you lose the fish. Very annoying but fun game, regardless..Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ Saved game vanished on iPad versionWe bought Stardew Valley for the iPad last week. My 10 year old is devastated her saved game has just vanished! She saved it and when she loaded it a few minutes later to show me something there was no saved game. We looked in ‘files’ and there wasn’t even a folder/file for Stardew Valley. We have the game on family sharing so followed instructions last night to copy a version from my husbands iPad but it’s his farm and not hers so she’s lost everything. Is there any chance this could just be hidden somewhere? Or any way of recovering her farm please? I’ve message support twice and had no response so far! Such a shame because the game itself is fantastic!.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Update in January 2023 has lots of bugsNew update has lots of bugs… (i.e. box in Pierre shop does not work) unreal . I let tech support know but was ignored..Version: 1.5.6.36
✓ No multiplayer on mobileI could recommend this but not on mobile because the other versions are multiplayer supported.Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Won’t run background apps whilst playing the game.Hey, I have one MASSIVE issue which I have goggled and numerous people are experiencing + annoyed at this bug. If I’m already running Spotify and go to open Stardew the music stops… when I play the music the game stops loading…. One or the other. Please if you could sort this out it would be fantastic. Otherwise it’s a great game..Version: 1.5.6.37
✓ JoystickIt’s a cool game but I think it needs a joystick.Version: 1.02
✓ Does NOT work if you have iPhone X or 11I just bought this game for 10$ and can’t even play. The inventory controls on the side are covered by the black bar that the iPhone X and 11s have. How do I get a refund?.Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ Beautiful, but lacking in end-game.Stardew valley is a stunning game, from its graphics to the relationships you build with the villagers. I’ve been playing this game since it released in mobile and left my mobile farm for a long time now that I have the game on steam on my computer. It is MUCH easier to play and enjoy on a laptop/desktop computer rather than the small screen of my iPhone 8. Other than that, I lose interest in my farm quickly after year 3 spring rolls around. I’ve long finished the community center and have ten hearts with nearly all of the villagers. Skull cavern is useless now I have the iridium generator from Grandpa and everything seems pointless. If they added some more late game content I think it would help players stick with the game well after they’ve logged in more than a couple hundred hours. Other than that, the whole game is perfect. I’m not sure if this is just on my device because I downloaded SDV right as it came out, but on my oldest farm I’m married to Sebastian. Sometimes he gets stuck in walls or over cliffs, on his Friday schedule especially. It can be a little unnerving seeing him stuck in the cliff next to my on-farm cave staring into the rock face as 2:00 am rolls around....Version: 1.35
✓ Too much bugsThe game is quite nice but it is not working well. It ran pretty good from the beginning but after a couple days we couldn’t even open it..Version: 1.37
✓ UI update disappointingThe new update has caused the chat bubbles, menus and inventory to become smaller and difficult to see. In the first day of playing with the new update, the auto collector in one of the coops showed a duck egg and a duck feather. Transfering the duck egg caused the duck feather to disappear from the auto collector. The menu size and display on mobile has shrunk significantly. The previous version was balanced with the menu and text size. The inventory system and menu was easy to use and navigate. I hope there is a way to adjust the menu and text size if this is the way that the game is going because the inventory and menu buttons have become too small..Version: 1.5.6.32
✓ Please fix egg hunt bugNew player to Stardew Velley playing one IPhone X. Firstly, not sure how the UI is scaled but the automatic values leave an orientation pretty much only playable on one side view. It would be great if either the UI scaling was simpler instead of many settings or if it could auto configure better. Moving onto the bigger problem I am 13 days in and already encounter a bug that makes part of the game literally unplayable, being namely the egg hunt. The first time I loaded in my game just completely crashed. I annoyingly reloaded and reduced zoom and waited to go back into the egg hunt which didn’t crash the second time. However, what just makes this event so sad is that certain eggs just cannot be picked up at all. I have reloaded and attempted the event multiple times, changing zoom values close and far not touching them during the event clicking on the eggs from multiple directions but some just cannot be picked up at all making an already heavily time restricted event literally impossible when at least a third of the eggs just cannot be collected. Seeing the first event already being broken leaves a pretty sour taste and expectation for the other events that will happen later. Please fix this problem and possibly other events that are broken or poorly done by the mobile port, because this is otherwise a fun game..Version: 1.4.5.145
✓ Game does NOT fit screen on IPhone 13.I had just purchased the game and was excited to play on my IPhone 13, but when I had opened the app up, I had noticed the game does not fit to my screen. Game dialogue gets cut off, and when trying to change the size of the toolbars, the camera hump gets in the way making it uncomfortable to play. Would give more stars as soon as this gets fixed, as I’ve heard great things about the game..Version: 1.5.6.37
✓ A few bugsI genuinely adore this game, as previously I used to play on PC. It’s even more fun because now I can play wherever, whenever, via the mobile app! The only downside is that there are still a few bugs, the main one for me being that it sometimes freezes as it’s saving when you put your character in bed to sleep - you’re forced to close the app and relaunch, and then you’ve lost an entire day - even if you manually click the save backup option from settings before you get in bed. If it wasn’t for this disappointing bug, I would give this game a 5*!.Version: 1.17
✓ Saved data issue!I’ve been obsessed with this game since downloading it, but.... it recently started crashing when I tried to open the app. Naturally I reset my phone, checked for updates, etc, to fix the crash problem but nothing worked. I thought well my saved data will be attached to my apple account so maybe I should just delete and download the game again just like I’ve done for previous games/apps. The app opens finally once complete but.. I lost all my saved data! For a game you pay for, this is a clear flaw. I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of hours on this game and to lose it instantly like this is rubbish..Version: 1.4.5.153
✓ Love it and hate itI’ve been playing Stardew valley on pc for the last few months and love it! I was super excited when it came out on mobile, and still am. I wish it were easier to transfer my old data onto my phone. The process should be easier..Version: 1.02
