Home Design Story for Negative User Reviews

Really disappointedI had purchased gems on the sale around (Black Friday) When going in to purchase things I wanted, it would let me purchase but the app crashed I'd go back in and look to see if my purchasesd items were in my stuff and they were not, but it took my gems! It did this at least a good 9x that night! Also I went back in and it had purchased this goofy looking pond worth 320 gems I had never even looked up to purchase! I turned a ticket in and they asked me to provide my purchases from the Apple store which I did! They then tried to tell me a list of things found I had purchased! But what they aren't understanding is I have no items from the things I purchased just my gems are gone! They then terminated my ticket! I have never once and it will show turned in a ticket, never complained once, but when you mess with money I spent then told me you can't give me back my gems or money I'm done! Don't waste your money! I am out $30 bucks! They have terrible customer service and don't treat their customers good!.Version: 1.1.0

Good game, but…This is an oldie but a goodie, 3 stars instead of 5 because with everyone having more than one device these days it would be great if you could do some major updates… allow us to play on more than one device and update furniture 😉…We can now login to Facebook so just take it one more step and use that option to play on multiple devices….Version: 1.2.1

Can’t access previous accountsI have spent lots of time playing this game and I love it but every time I get a new phone I have to start over since you can not access previous homes you’ve designed which is disappointing and why I no longer play home design..Version: 1.2.0

Pride stuffI would enjoy the game a lot more if you included pride flags and stuff like that to decorate your house with! Thanks!.Version: 1.2.1

OkIt’s a good idea, but I find it kinda boring. A few minutes of playing, and almost all I can do is wait for money. I wish we could actually do the challenges instead of just waiting for our characters to do them and earn money. And maybe you could add a few mini games? Like I said, it’s a good idea, but you just made it boring..Version: 1.2.0

Neighbor troubleThe game is fun but it’s impossible to complete goals without neighbors and they aren’t easy to come by. The forums I found are from years ago. I spend an hour inviting people from old forums and not one has responded. There needs to be a better way. Why can’t there be an invite option when visiting other homes??.Version: 1.2.1

ReviewPositive: new updates and new furnitures almost everyday and it's addicting once you get the hang of it. (: Negative: You're not allowed to play offline without the internet and it takes a long time to earn money..Version: 1.0.2

This will help!!!!!!This game is kinda fun. I play this game pretty often, but there are some things that need to change. (These are the only things wrong, the game is great.) 1. All the cool/good stuff you can only buy with gems. (gems are really hard to get) 2. When I click one of the things that gives you money in a certain amount of time every now and then it will glitch. For example, I’ll click the one that gives me $3,000 in eight hours, but in eight hours it only gives me $1,500. When I can get $1,500 in two hours. 3. It sends me notifications telling me I have money to collect, when really it just wants me to come play the game. 4. My friend and I both got this game so we could play together, but she didn’t like her house. So she deleted the app and the got it again. But it keep her account. She tried many other times (through the App Store, through the link I texted her), yet nothing worked. So she just deleted the app for good. The creepy thing about it is, it still shows her as my neighbor..Version: 1.0.9

I like the game, needs improvement thoughI really like the concept of this game. I do think it is a rip off when it comes to the gems. I think the game could have been designed better in general. Quarks with some smaller objects not fitting on many counter spaces or objects not fitting in other areas because of the big square highlighted under the object is way larger then the circumference of the actual object.I also wish it didn't take so long on construction of furniture, I only have one neighbor so it takes days to do things. Overall despite its many flaws though, I still find it fun and play it on a regular basis..Version: 1.0.9

Needs MAJOR UpdateI’ve been playing this game for years now, redownloading it each time. I love the idea of the game but as the years pass by nothing about the game changes. 1. The whole design needs a fresh modern update. Maybe some more realistic features, new music, overall look. 2. Furniture and items in catalog need to be changed. I like the idea that every season there’s always something new to look forward to. Not just the same old stuff. 3. Personally I would change the way you can rotate furniture. Instead of tapping “rotate” ever time just simply tap on the price of furniture and it will change directions. 4. I think that in the community when looking for new people to play with it should be limited to the level range that you are currently in. Not 40+ levels above your rank. 5. Create more task that you can do to earn coins. Some examples would be cooking meals, or cleaning or repairing the house. 6. Create more true to life task and jobs that would come with owning a home. Like paying off the mortgage, things about the house break or need repairing. Being able to host little house parties and invite other friends to join. I would appreciate if a lot of features they have in the Sims were added into this game because I see a lot of potential but nothings changing. I’m sure a lot of people can agree and with these changes could bring more people to play and actually enjoy..Version: 1.2.1

No supportHundreds of people play this game and enjoy it. It’s a great game and I hope I get to play it for years to come. However your loyalty and support is woeful. We get a special Valentine’s Day sale and as soon as it’s over, the items disappear from storage. You are happy to take our coins and gems but give us nothing in return.Version: 1.2.1

False advertising and dishonest practicesYour ads don’t pay out most of the time because you’re sneaky and dishonest and make the X out button only good for bringing the viewer to install the app, instead of bringing you back to the game for a payout! I am now leaving reviews every time you do this and letting the advertisers know their ads are misleading! I will not be installing nothing malicious on my device and find your business practices are dishonest and sneaky! FIX IT!! And also your earn cash always pays out the minimum task instead of the two hr task I always put on before I leave the game!!! Again sneaky and CHEAP!!!.Version: 1.2.1

Expect to spend real moneyAt first I enjoyed this game but the only way to move forward is spend real money and/or annoy your friends to invite them to play which I refuse to do. I was so happy to finally have found a game where i can decorate a home without the bejeweled aspect to it, but I’m not dumping real money into a game. Maybe if the deals offered were better... And you should be told that if you purchase more property and want to build onto it, you’ll need to wait weeks or spend money. Also, it’s been months since Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving and they still have pop ups encouraging you to buy things for those holidays. Someone got lazy and hasn’t updated this aspect of the game. It’s March! Also, when you purchase anything you have to wait for it to build. So you may have to wait 18 hours for something to finish up! Annoying. Where are the instructions? Can you not build more walls? The faq don’t answer enough questions..Version: 1.2.0

Good game but...It’s a really good game and I really like playing it hit there so a couple of thinnest that could be fixed. 1. When you get to a certain size you cant buy anymore land, so I think you should be able to extend upwards and have different levels. 2. All rooms should have four walls and there should be an option to take them down and put them up. It would be good if you could also love the doors around. 3. Recently it’s been telling me I need to connect to WiFi for it to work even though I’ve got a tally good connection. I’ve tried on data as well but it’s still not letting me play on it..Version: 1.0.9

Not the best, but okay I guessI down loaded this game because I like organizing and designing, and had good reviews. But after down loaded it was really boring, and like who are these random people walking around my house. Also needs more of a challenge with opstivals.Version: 1.2.0

Updated reviewUpdate 2: I got a new iPad for Christmas and I went to email who helped me before and TeamLava no longer accepts emails. You have to fill out a "ticket" with your request. I did that and I got an automated email with my ticket #. It has been almost 2 weeks and nothing. My game still isn't transferred, there is no one to contact. It says in the email to reply to the email with any questions but when I do, i get ANOTHER email saying they do not accept emails. 😳 The automated email also says I can check the status of my ticket by clicking on the ticket number but when I do that it takes me to their website with an error message. They must really want people to NOT play their games. Update: I contacted TeamLava and they were able to teansfer my game for me. The customer service was great! Although I do think the game needs updating with a login so you can transfer data yourself and maybe a few more challenges, I am very happy now 😊 I was very invested in this game. Then I got a new phone and nothing carried over! I was up to a $1.6 mil home and had over 50 neighbors and now I'm back at square one. I emailed about it and the only thing I received was a link how to login in to every other game they make EXCEPT Home Design Story. Trying decide if it's worth the time to start over..Version: 1.0.9

I changed my mindIt’s a good game only because you don’t have to play mini games to earn coins. The only bad thing is that the notifications I get when my couch let’s say the notification says Come your couch is ready but the movers put it in the tub like can you make that an actual thing that would be so funny please also add me: habinski EDIT: hi this is me again umm so I backed up my phone and now I somehow logged out my original house and my house was at level 99 I was so close to my goal 100 it took me 1 year to make it that far please let me get back in please.Version: 1.2.1

Please Fix My Problem!I love this game! It’s so addicting and fun! I love that their isn’t a whole match game, you can just create! Update: Hey! Love this game! But when you do the jobs, it kind of glitches. Like I set the 8 hours one and then the next morning I got the money you get for the first job! This has been happening a lot lately. And usually it always happens with the 8 hours job. I want the money I set up for, this has stopped me from making a lot of progress. It happens almost very time I set the job. Please fix it! At this point, any job I do, it only gives me the amount you would get for the first job. I press the 8 hours one, and the next morning, I only get $300!!! I haven’t tried the 2 hours one yet, but hopefully it won’t glitch out!.Version: 1.2.0

Dumb and potentially expensiveThe majority of items are only available to exchanges against gems, which cannot be earned in any way, just bought through in-app purchase. Of course, you can always choose not to use the nice stuff, just furnish your house with limited, ugly bits... But then again it will take hundreds of hours to earn enough credits to do just that. Too bad. I would have been happy to pay a few bucks to play a better thought of (and less greedy) version..Version: 1.0.4

PoorI’m sorry but this is like the worst app ever!! It always clashes, you have to pay for loads, it is boring, the graphics are terrible, there’s hardly ever updates, it’s laggy, it is nothing like what the company make out, the furniture is rubbish and yeah it’s just not good so I wouldn’t waste ur time getting it. I will probably never get it again I’m sorry. 🤷‍♀️☹️😡.Version: 1.0.9

Ok... but long term disappointmentLatest update completely wiped my progress... including credit I'd paid for. The game challenges stop after the 40th lvl so you can only buy new furniture if you want to mix things up and wait for seasonal refreshes. It starts out fun, but quickly becomes disappointing..Version: 1.0.9

No gem. Free bugThis game would be better if they give more free items rather than need to pay so much to get gems or coins. And they need to fix the bug in the system it keep need to repress same button again..Version: 1.0.9

LISTEN, LINDA!!Okay, listen, I like this game. I wouldn’t have it for three years if I didn’t like it. It’s a pretty good game, I’ll admit that but... it could be wayyy better. 1. THE BULLYING!!, UGH!! It’s so annoying!! Three people I know have gotten bullied either but stupid teenagers who are on this game to roleplay and mess with people or just, are intentionally annoying. They are arrogant!! My friends don’t deserve to get bullied. You’ve just lost one star because of that. 2. I can’t even say the word cheater. I was trying to be funny bc I was playing a game with my friend and I wanted to say she was a cheater bc she cheated.. I CANT EVEN SAY CHEATER!! Some of these words aren’t even bad words but they are banned!! I can say them in fonts but not on regular. Gosh!! You lost ONE star bc of that too!! 3. Why is it so difficult to kick the people off the game if they bully or say bad words? The teenagers are on here to bully. Have you seen them? No, you haven’t bc your too busy not even looking at these freaking reviews. LOOK at them IDIOT!! Everyone needs to see all of this!! It’s really bad!! You need to change a lot of things and you still haven’t!! LOOK at my review! AND change these things. Good day now!.Version: 1.2.1

They don’t care about youI spent 15 minutes doing a survey for gems, it’s obviously not worked so I’ve contacted them, they said they can’t retrieve lost currency but then ended there sentence with a link to go and buy gems 🤦‍♂️how can you not fix a mistake in you’re own game lol storm 8 in general is dodgy, all they’re games took 5 mins to make on unity and they make money from it? Not from me thanks..Version: 1.2.1

FeedbackI wish there was another alternative to earning gems apart from purchasing them. Moreover, the game would be even better if we were able to retrieve our older accounts when we switched to another device. Furthermore, would love to see this game available on androids too! Several other options such as indoor plants should be introduced please..Version: 1.2.1

Home design gameHome design game won't open it just closes up could you let me know ht the problem with this game is Regards carol.Version: 1.1.0

Good gameSometimes the game deletes my items on its own and doesn’t put money back to me, other than that I love it.Version: 1.2.1

3 Reasons why I don’t like this game1) when you say the game is 4+ I froze many people can hack this game or say swear words/fools words in the comments but to be positive it’s good you can block people if they get to your nerves 2) EVREY THING IS EXPENSIVE Look people for the cheapest sink it’s about 1000 dollars Please do something about all the expensive stuff cause I don’t have all the time and money in the world to spend 3) nearly everything takes a long time to get.Version: 1.2.0

DisappointedAt first the game is good but then when I bought couches, chairs etc, the game would make me spend over 100 diamonds or ask friends for diamonds. I have nowhere near 100 diamonds. What should be a couch, just sits there as a pile or rubbish. It wouldn’t be as bad if there was actually a way of getting diamonds. I like how you can earn money in the game (without making in-app purchases) but the only way to get more diamonds is making purchases. If you’re willing to make purchases then I recommend the game but not everyone can afford to waste money on a game..Version: 1.0.9

Kicked outMy sister can’t get back in the game! She will open the app and it will kick her right back out! Please fix this!!! Also, I think you should add a search bar so you don’t have to hunt through all the categories for a simple thing. And PLEASE make gems easier to get by earning them like you do with coins. It’s a decent game but frustrating sometimes, especially when I clicked on a piece of land to see how much it cost and it started working on it. Not to mention the fact that it also sucked all but 2 gems of my gem savings when I tried to see how much time was left. PLEASE FIX THIS I’M BEGGING YOU!!! I’m really frustrated now!.Version: 1.1.0

Not improvingSince you added the ads this game is now sliding into bad. We used to get new items each week, now we’re getting ads. This is not improving the game..Version: 1.2.1

RateTo much time is wasted in waiting for some of things to be ready.....2 days or more is just crazy to build a room or even a piece of furniture. Also I don’t like having to have neighbours to build things or to have to get items from them to even open more land up. I ‘ll hang around for a while to see how things go .....hoping some changes will be made..... the game is kinda fun .... just need to make some changes..Version: 1.2.1

DisappointedWas loving it then it crashed and I lost 3 years of work.Version: 1.2.1

Could be fun, maybe...If I spent real money to get the gem things it would be a lot more fun. As it is, half the stuff you buy needs to be constructed (who constructs their own couch, really??) and you can't do that without pestering your "friends" or paying real money. Deleting..Version: 1.0.2

OkIt’s an alright game. In the beginning it was really fun. But it got challenging real quick, with earning the diamonds. Especially with the other games to make u level up on this game. The waiting for items n land is way to long for a game. And once you reach level sixty u stop receiving new items with every level up. Needs a fixing n make it easier..Version: 1.2.1

Could be betterYou can't buy stuff for the exterior of the house except for garden and plant items, I don't know if the game has changed at all, I used yo play it, but then I deleted it and I re-downloaded it loaded it. But I agent played it in a long time. and another thing, you can't restart the game or reset your progress, and the quests are all the same, because I remember when I was playing all the quests , were just mainly download their other games. Or buy stuff from the shop. And I remember when playing there were even ads like billboards near your lot for their other games. So if you're thinking of buying this app for your electronics, like for your kids, I don't recommend it, this all is a money machine, they want your cash, and with the ads it could trick kids into wanting their other apps. Because considering how half the quests are "download our other apps!" While the rest are "buy furniture and decorative and outdoor items in our shop!.Version: 1.0.9

Video not finish playing bugIt’s nice to get free gem after watching a video but a lot of time it say video not finish playing even after watching - this is annoying! Also, need updates please, it’s getting very boring..Version: 1.2.0

It’s okI love the game and it is really fun and I like the way you can be creative as you like. But... for a lot of things like hot tubs and fire places you need gems but you only are given 50 at the beginning of the game and it is not nearly enough to buy those things. For more gems you have to buy them with real money..Version: 1.1.0

Needs an updateI’ve been playing this game for a while now and I think it needs an update of some sort, although it seems highly unlikely. The game is good, requires patience but a good game nonetheless. An option of having multiple houses (even maybe in a different location) should be added. Once you finish your house, meaning buying every piece of land and furnishing it how you please, then you are done and there is nothing else to do besides maybe re-decorate. Different ways to get gems should also be added, not just buy or download other apps. The app has potential to be so much better but it seems like the creators have given up on it which is a shame..Version: 1.0.9

WhyIt’s so bad I thought u are suppose to just build but now I know that’s a lie.Version: 1.2.0

No gameI can not get it fix this bug.Version: 1.2.0

Buying from the shopSo this game is good and all but i bought some chairs from the shop, and when they finished downloading, they disapeared! this is really annoying because i spent most of my money on them and now i have not much money and no chairs. Also there is a lot of bullying on people’s walls. if you could help me with my confusion about the chairs and get in contact with the bullies and tell them to stop or they wont be able to play the game again or something then that would be ok. Thank You.Version: 1.0.9

Not badCan see me getting bored with it to be honest. Takes too long to build up cash to buy things and to buy a decent sized room is way too much anyway. So you don't seem to be able to get ahead. Kills the fun really..Version: 1.0.1

Terrible.You have to do jobs to get money, and you don't even get the full amount of counts that you've been waiting for. You have to use friends to help you build things but I don't have any friends who play it. So I'm left with unfinished projects..Version: 1.0.7

Still a mixed bagI recently redownloaded this app after not playing for a few years. I had grown bored and frustrated with it for various reasons. Getting gems is HARD but they’re required for the most desirable items (and most of these cost A LOT of gems.) I’ve tried to download the games that will give you a few more gems, but the app just shuts down when I try. Besides being the coolest items, some gem items are the only way to have matching furniture in a room. (Chair=coins, matching sofa=gems) For a while, new items, both gem and coin, were offered regularly; this seems to no longer be the case, and, really, it hadn’t been for a while before I stopped playing. I’ve only been back for a week or so and I’m already considering deleting the app again. I’m getting bored using the same, old, cheesy combinations. On a more positive note, I received fantastic customer service that allowed me to recover my level 100, >$12 million home after several years away..Version: 1.2.0

ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FOR ISSUES WITH THIS GAME!!!I contacted Support about Issue with Disappearing Cabinets after Purchase. 3 times I purchased a Cabinet, 3 times it Disappeared after it was ready and I placed it. On top of that, another Cabinet that was fine, Disappeared when I moved it. The Flower Vase that was on it is still there, the Cabinet is gone! I don’t know if that spot is currently, The Bermuda Triangle, in my House but, I DO KNOW, the UTTER LACK OF SUPPORT, for HOME DESIGN STORY, is HORRENDOUS!!! Being sent a terse email telling me, that there aren’t enough people to give Support for the Game, which you developed is extremely poor! The Icing on the Cake is, that the Cabinets don’t seem to be available to try and replace the 4 missing Cabinets! Why bother putting them out to purchase, having us go through all of the work of buying, designing, etc, only to have them Disappear, and know, not be able to replace them! Shoddy business work, S8, TeamLava! I’d go back to giving this game 5 Stars, if this were fixed, my Cabinets returned, and they are put back to Purchase more. Extremely Disappointed in a game that I love to play, and have played for Years!.Version: 1.2.1

Worse game everI have just started playing this game when I relise that I have lots of gems and money, but I haven’t even used 1 gem and I am at 3!!! You have to wait for sooooooooooooooo long and things are ridiculously expensive!!!😵😮 I got a toilet 🚽 for200 💷!!! And it was the cheapest!!! Everyone else who has been encouraged to buy it ... don’t,trust me ,it is terrible!!! I am really ashamed that it is so bad!!!! The only thing good about it is that if you are not allowed to message people, this game allows you!! Plus their are umazing items for ridiculous prices !!! Game people ... get better upgrades It doesn’t let you even do anything like make fried eggs 🍳 or touch anything!!! The sims free play is a much better game by far same is hay day township and for little people lemon meringue and the team Games for reasons the sims free play is for 12 or over parents and children 👶!!!.Version: 1.0.9

It's fun but..It keeps crashing on me and to build a room it cost diamonds, it should cost the coins. I'm starting to get alittle bored with it because it keeps crashing. Can you please fix it. Thankyou!.Version: 1.0.1

TerribleIt just a plain waste of time, and the prices on EVERYTHING are rip offs. Ex: fruit bowl is priced higher than a trash can, and gingerbread house is priced higher than a table with decorations. I can’t even stand it anymore. Anyone who’s reading this comment, don’t waste your time buying this game like I did (on actsident). 1 star for effort. BTW, those pictures up there that show all the pretty rooms and all the things you can do, is when you get to level...hmmm....100,000. You can’t buy it right away, in fact, I didn’t even see 1 item in those pictures except for a flower vase. And I was on level 109. Don’t get this stupid app. Take my advice and don’t spend you money and time on this piece of junk. Thank you -Me.Version: 1.1.0

To expensiveIt would be much better if you didn't make the prices so high because some of us don't have all that money to go and buy a million things so don't ignore this and think about it. Just then I went on to the game and it said a rug was 9,500 coins for one rug how expensive is that and you guys better fix this because people have been complaining about this for years and you haven't done anything so don't be lazy and do something you lazy people 😡😡😤 OK!.Version: 1.0.9

Good but....I played for days before knowing there was a daily bonus as it would give me a message that the game in online only when I would sign in even though I was fully connected to my wifi. It has stopped doing that, but there’s now a new issue where it doesn’t show the hearts to let people know how active of a player you are, it just shows the number 4 and nothing else. Also, you should be able to block someone through their home, you shouldn’t have to wait for them to comment because if they don’t, you have no way to block them. There’s a lot of bullies on this game and blocking would be a bonus. Please add this option..Version: 1.2.0

DisappointingI realize it’s an old game but to just abandon it. Loved playing it and spent a lot of real money on it. Looked forward to weekly new items even if they were overpriced..Version: 1.2.1

Impossible to get gems and build itemsGame would be better if you didn't have to ask friends for tools to build things you've bought! and it is practically impossible to save up gems and very unrealistic the price of items should defiantly be more ways to win gems and coins . It's all about downloading other games.....Version: 1.0.9

Fun gameThis is good for relaxing sometimes, I enjoy the concept of this game. But just like other users mentioned, I find the price of furniture varies way too much. Some take a crazy amount of gems just to buy a sofa in a different color. And the amount of materials required to build some furniture is unreasonable. Takes way too long to get. The tasks are kind of annoying too. If I don't want to download any more apps, or I don't want to buy that hideous piece of furniture to put in my house, then I can't move forward and get any new tasks. I just ignore them now and do my own thing to design my own house. Isn't that supposed to be the point of the game?.Version: 1.0.9

Annoying.I updated my iPhone to IOS 12 and now the game has stopped working. It will not even load. As soon as I click the game icon, the game shuts off..Version: 1.0.9

StuffierI love this game; been playing for at least 4 years. The past couple years have been disappointing due to the lack of new items to buy. The last update finally came about a year ago maybe. I was excited to be able to expand my ‘home’ & to see a bunch of new items! I THOUGHT it was going to be an ongoing thing again but it was very hard to qualify to purchase the new items - I never did figure out what it took to open a lot of the new items. Anyways, there hasn’t been any more updates since. Very disappointing. For the first couple years of playing, I’d give a 5 star rating; for the last couple years, I’d give a 2 star rating simply due to the lack of new items..Version: 1.2.1

Customer care not helpfulDevelopers , I had many gems , and came back to play to see that 1/2 were gone. I don’t know if I accidentally hit the wrong button or my kids opened the app. But you SHOULD HAVE A FEATURE that asks you if you are sure you want to use the gems or not. Many people are requesting this so they don’t lose their gems. Why don’t you add this option for your players? That’s why I deleted the app over a year ago. About to do it again. There are other games that accommodate this. Update... ok there has not been an actual update in over a year I just saw. So I guess I won’t bother and just delete the game again. And keep it off.Version: 1.0.9

Home DesignThis game doesn’t work properly! If you do a 2 hour task you only get coins (140) for a 2 minute task. The same applies for an 8 hour task. Then it cost me 20 gems instead of 10 for a name change. Getting in touch with storm8 is like shaking hands with Jesus - never likely to happen! Probably won’t play this game for much longer. Too many things wrong with it! And no way to fix it 😡.Version: 1.0.9

Where are my coins?You need to do "jobs" to make money so that you can buy things for your house. You have a choice of 2min, 2hrs or 8hr jobs. The 8hr job seems to be broken and only giving me payment for a 2 min job. Super annoying!!! Also, they need to have a report option, or an option to limit who can write to you!.Version: 1.0.7

MunniHi been playing this game for 7 years but this new update is rubbish as you don’t give video to watch to earn gems but keep forcing videos upon us as we collect the earnings. That’s a shame and disgusting action. I emailed you and contacted you to fix video feature so I could earn some gems too but noting .Iam Only able to earn 2 gems with videos 🤣🤣🤣it really a laughing matter ! Still happening what I described above and shame that you force video upon me but not letting me watch more than one video to earn gems . Awful behaviour!.Version: 1.2.1

Very disappointed after downloading app againI got a new phone and was exited to get this game back to continue playing and I think I was on level 25 or further but downloading this game and can’t even log back in. And I was like oh well I’ll start over it’s a good bored game at work but I noticed every time you delete the app and download it again or download the game on any other device you can’t log in to your storm8 Id. It’s useless to have a password so why do we have to have a storm8 Id. This app needs an update so we can download app and put in our ID and PW to continue the level we worked hard for. It takes a lot of time to save money and to buy items for our house and to not get automatic access or even be able to log in this app is pointless..Version: 1.2.1

Not happyGood game but it log my storm id out , so not happy.Version: 1.0.9

Not what I expected🤕I don't think that this is a very fun game like people think because you put things in the 🏡 and then you just see people walking round the house trying everything out. They just keep saying "I love this place and I never want to leave your spectacular holiday house." One thing that I think is that it isn't a holiday house and it's just not for children because I really do think it's so boring so I really should delete the game..Version: 1.0.9

Home Design storyI liked the game but their is a few BIG faults first is the Gema I feel you should give more free Gems even if it’s watching videos every 10 minutes if you can get 2 free Gems for that cool or maybe 3 as a lot of people arnt made of money to keep buying Gems also have an upstairs too that be cool and have the avatar interact with items in the house like play a piano swim in the pool or sleep in bed and have a save game option so if you delete game or game crashes your not starting from scratch again I had worked up to level 24 and I crashed and lost everything I was very angry and upset I lost my hard earned money and Gems I bought and my neighbours who were helping me so won’t be downloading this game a agin I’d rather play the sims.Version: 1.2.1

Listen!I've had the game for quite a few years and at first it was great fun. New goals to reach to get certain furnishings. Great rewards for trying other Storm8 games, some of which I've kept. I know a lot of people who have played for years. That says we players are pretty loyal to you (Storm8) but you're not reciprocating that loyalty. You have your hand out for us to buy gems but what have you done for us? • It's been over a year since you have intriduced anything new! Come on! It's getting very hard to remain loyal. I stay for the friends I've made and the fun we've created for ourselves! • Y'all need to pull your act together and start acting like you care about your players! Straighten up and fly right!!.Version: 1.2.1

Slow but decentNot the worst but not the best.Version: 1.2.1

NiceI think this is a pretty good game but I don’t understand why you have to buy gems my parents won’t let me buy enything..Version: 1.1.0

Nothing but an addThis app is nothing but an add. I can't go 30 seconds without another add popping up!.Version: 1.0.9

MsSince sept software update, this keeps on crashing and was never able to access it while all other games worked fine.., so I tried loading it on other iPad but I had to start from level 1..... So I decided to transfer this game from my original iPad to new one through iTunes along all other games that I play and everything worked well, I could play all games from the level I was on except this one. This is still asking me to start from level one....I could see me original home by sending a friend request to my original storm id but why can't I access and play from the same I'd and same level.... Please help.... I don't wish to loose my time spent on to decorate, expand home and getting 70+ regular visiting neighbours....Version: 1.1.0

Out of proportionI started playing this game recently. The furniture is out of proportion. Need to make it more realistic and for goodness sake the year is 2019!! Not 2016 as you still have on the New Years cake you can buy! Is there anyone updating this game???.Version: 1.2.1

HorableThis app was fine until I was trying to make my house nicer but it wouldn’t allow me to. I rated this app 2 stares because it it sooooooo slow and it is not as fun as the other apps.Version: 1.2.1

Fab game but....I love this game, it's on the best home design game I've come across and you don’t need to spend your real money like people are saying I haven’t yet I had this game before and loved coming back to it Only negative is I think there is a glitch if I do an 8 hour job when I come back to the game it has only paid me for a 2 hour job When I contacted storm8 I received an instant email back clearly automated saying they can’t recover the missing currency That wasn’t the point I just want the glitch fixed so I can earn more funds in the game I can the game hasn’t been updated in a year so I don’t think the creators care about this game anymore which is a shame.Version: 1.0.9

Unfair gems rewardLove this game been playing for years plz need new updates and watch the video to earn gems and I was one of the players who suggested this feature to you guys and now all other players are reviving 16 to 30 gems but I am only getting 2 ! How unfair is that and when I tried to report it, i got a rep that they won’t deal with it . I request to fix it for me. I D is Khawab86 Many thanks To add more now new update is forcing to watch videos but I am still getting only 2 gems . What a pathetic and sad strategy you have to earn.Version: 1.2.1

Good game, but...A group of players in the game were bullying my sister, so I stood up for her, and now my account is suspended, even though it’s 2020, it says 2019, please fix this or I’ll stop trying to play and the review is going to 1 star..Version: 1.2.1

HmmmmAnnoyingly I deleted this came and when I got it again all my work was gone and I had to start again. It would be better if the work would be saved.Version: 1.0.9

Nice but could be betterWould like to have some way within the game to earn Gems, also if you could customise the house more, e.g change walls and move rooms around..Version: 1.0.9

Running a scamForget about this game and stay away from Storm8 games. Says it’s free but you have to spend tons of money for gems or you can’t do anything. It is limited in what you can do even with the gems. And customer service is atrocious. There is a serious flaw in popups that randomly show up while you’re in the middle of a function causing you to click on it and taking your gems so that you have to keep paying for more. And they won’t fix it and refuse to give you the gems back. I guess that’s how they make their money. No wonder everyone complains about customer service. And now they don’t even give support for this game because of “limited resources”. They just automatically close your support ticket! What a scam. Save your money and look for a legit and better game. There are a lot of much much better games out there..Version: 1.2.1

The game is fun and all,The game is fun and all, but you have to wait a lot and it’s kind of annoying.Version: 1.2.1

Can't open since latest updateSince the update from November 6, I can't open the app. This happened before & it took over 6mths to get my home design back. Sad. I really like this app..Version: 1.2.1

Too many bullies!This game is great! Apart from the fact that there is too many ways for a bully to write swear words and bully others. Something needs to be done about this NOW. My wall is constantly getting hammered by bullies, and I'm a really nice player. I ask why they swear at me and they say (words from one player) "coz its fun, i love bullying others, u b****s cant do anything coz I'm selena gomez." In my opinion, i don't think selena gomez would play is game. I am fed up with the bullies. Pease do something about them!!.Version: 1.0.7

Furniture size is oddSome of the furniture is disproportionately small in comparison to others. The sectionals for example, are tiny placed next to a table. I want to place a couch in the master bedroom, but the scale is so off that it looks ridiculous across from the bed. I also hate how long it takes to open a new piece of land..Version: 1.2.1

Good not goodI truely think this is an awesome game to play but the social part is dangerous. I hate that u can chat it is very bad because when I was visiting a house I saw that on a post she had a very mean message. Also it is not safe for kids to be wandering around social games because some adults might not know their a child and send mean things on their chat wall. Do not let your child play without adult supervision. Also to get free gems you need to watch ads and some are inappropriate for children. e.g. guns, zombies, killing and not very often swearing! Not safe for children at all! Also the people inside the house say stuff that is not connected with the game at all! E.G. did I drop something, I’m addicted to Bubble Mania! And so on. If you wanna see me in the game add retyuityui and you should invite 🐈Fluffy cat 🐈 to be your neighbour.Version: 1.2.1

Love this but...Great app. Avid daily player. However, the app has undergone some recent updates and apparently now it functions a bit differently but there was no alert to the user. A new item appeared so I tapped it to see what it looked like. Usually when you do this with any item, it prompts you to press “accept” or “cancel” before you “purchase” the item with your coins or gems - gems cost real dollars to get. But the new item “gym crates” apparently do not work this way. So when I clicked it to see what it was like, it purchased it automatically! 84 of my gems are now spent and I didn’t want the item. I have been saving them up for an item I did want that is now out of my reach unless I spend real money and buy more gems again. But I’ll never spend my real money on this app again because of this. This puts me very off the app. The items should always function the same way or should clearly state to the user otherwise! Poor UX. Scam..Version: 1.0.9

Too glitchyI could really like this game... but there are a couple of niggles; Constant glitches- keeps making me wait for money, then when it’s time to collect it glitches and I don’t get any money. Too long to progress- getting permits/materials/waiting 2 days for plots of land or rooms... all gets a bit boring. Overall it could be a good game if the above was addressed. As a commenter said below- changing from day to night would be good so lighting was effective. I don’t think the developers are too bothered about making the game better though, I played this game about 6 years ago and recently re-downloaded, yet the game and items are pretty much exactly the same as they were back then..Version: 1.1.0

Okay?So I used to play this game and was looking for some offline games to play and came across this one. I downloaded it obviously and it’s great, just like I remember it, however the “jobs” are glitching. The 8hr ones are giving me the money for 2 minute ones. Despite the fact I have to wait 8 hours! This means I don’t have much money at all in the game therefore I can’t get very far. This is a very small issue that I am picking but it does really limit the game for me, I don’t know if this is just my phone if so please tell me a way to fix it! Apart from that it is a fun simple game but one problem throws it off for me🤷‍♀️.Version: 1.0.9
