Only a few things could be improved
Wed Apr 13 2022 annikathecatThis is the first design/decorating app that doesn’t falsely advertise the gameplay; it’s actually just arranging and decorating which I love! I’m glad they finally added the option to remove ads, however the one flaw/missing feature in my opinion is some sort of storage/selling option for the items you earn for your house. It’s a bit inconvenient that since the items you get for your own house by completing levels are randomly selected and there is now way to hide/store or even sell items you don’t want so they just end up cluttering your house, especially if they are big items that don’t fit in the closet/drawers provided. There should be some in game option to sell or store unwanted items. It also would be nice to be able to buy interior items for your house using the in game currency like a daily refreshing store inventory or something like that because otherwise you get left with clothing without hangers to hang them up with or one shoe, etc. I also think that you should be able to rotate items yourself instead of having to rely on it auto rotating while moving the item around because it doesn’t always turn the way you want. Other than that it’s a great game, but the ability to get rid of unwanted items is a feature I really think would benefit the quality of the gameplay otherwise your house will get filled with random items pretty fast along with the other minor things I also mentioned.
Great game except for one thing…
Sun Dec 22 2024 Kira Miller14So, it’s a good, relaxing game, but for some reason every time i get into the game there’s an ad that pops up. Alright, no big deal. But then, after i’m in the game and i’m playing for about a minute, this obnoxious ad shows up at the bottom of my screen. It literally covers half of the screen and I can’t see anything. I tried to close out of it and it won’t go away. I love the game, but now I can’t play it because of this annoying ad that won’t go away. Yes, i’ve already closed out of it and went back in… same thing happened. I don’t know if it’s just me, or if it’s happening to other people, but this ad is really ruining my experience i could’ve had for this game. And it hasn’t been going on for a while now, it just started happening. i don’t know what to do because it’s really frustrating and annoying. Hopefully the game developers see this and try to do something because it’s really annoying and i love this game. Overall, it’s a really great and relaxing game, but now i can’t play it because of this obnoxious ad that came out of nowhere all of a sudden that covers half of my screen and I can’t close out of it. If the game developers see this, please fix it because i love your game, but now i can’t play it anymore 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing game! But-
Mon Aug 08 2022 Akio-chanIt's a good game I really like it but there are way too many ads... I find this game really relaxing but when im putting stuff away and an ad just randomly starts It gets me anxious.. Reason for that being I get possibly around 6-7 ads for one room alone sure I'm ok with the ads to unlock things or even just an ad when i finish and already hit complete but while I'm playing I want to be able to organize things how I like them without constantly being interrupted every 5 minutes, sure there's something to remove the ads but I'm only 15 and am unable to buy things online without asking my parents and even then it's most likely they won't pay money for a game, theres also the main home interior... The ones you get at random- there's no way to put them away if you don't need them and not all of them would match the same design if you were going for something specific having a place to store them all would make things easier if you don't want to use them otherwise they take up space. Next would probably be to have more options.. Possibly not just to buy interior items but as well as being able to buy different wallpapers or chairs and stuff... Other then the options already given having more options to design the main mansion would be great! I want to be able to design the mansion in my own way but I don't fully like all the options given and to be able to choose different things would be great
Super fun game although..
Tue Jun 06 2023 AjdjdlqThis game doesn’t falsely advertise the gameplay and its super addictive and fun although there is WAY WAY to many ads I’ve probably watched over 20 and only have had this game for 2 hours. It’s also very laggy it could be my phone so I’m not gonna throw it under the bus because of it very fun game I do recommend it
Edit: again no false advertising. And it's a fun game but still there is to many ads! This is probably one of the best decor games I've had on my phone bc it simulates the opening of boxes and gives you a storyline. But a ad popping up every 3 minutes makes the game very VERY frustrating. And as I said before its laggy. And I believe it's because of all of the ads. Sometimes when i get a ad I can't skip it and I'm stuck on it even if the ads over so I have to exit out and go back it. And another thing is it tales awhile to load you in. And after all of that sometimes it makes me redo the whole room from scratch. I read another Review which brought up good points about the game but what really caught my eye what's the developers comment. It read "we arnt a huge fan of ads either" there was more but this part of the comment I was bugged about. I don't think anyone is a fan of ads not even a huge fan. But as it is your game and you arnt a fan of the ads you put in it and EVERY Review I've read about this game has a complaint about the ads showing up every 3 minutes. Please fix this
I enjoy this game, but it needs some changes to improve overall player experience
Sun Jul 10 2022 Reviewer 0906So, genuinely I really love this game, I enjoy the unpacking concept and it’s similar to an unpacking game I have on my switch. It’s really an enjoyable game and isn’t falsely advertised it’s quite literally just designing rooms and unpacking. However as much as I love this game it does need some fixing, as many other commenters have said there are sooo many ads like of course I was expecting a good amount of ads because i’m not willing to pay for ad free however there is so many more than expected and I think they need to cut back, I do know of course they need a way to make money because it’s a free game but it’s just a lot and it didn’t really bother me until I was nonstop doing at least 3 rooms and I kept getting frustrated with trying to move items and getting an ad right in the middle of everything. Also along with the ads this game needs a bug fix update, another thing I noticed as I was playing was that my phone would start glitching and slow down and I have a updated and fairly newer phone model so I wouldn’t think it’s my phone but I could be wrong, but between the glitches and ads I was definitely getting a bit frustrated while playing and had to get off because of it. But other than those problems I’ve noticed it is a good game and I do enjoy it otherwise.
Super fun, but a few bugs…
Thu Nov 23 2023 jelly._.porridgedownloaded this game yesterday, and can’t stop playing! It’s not falsely advertised; you’ll be playing what you see on the adds EXACTLY. There are some issues, though. It’s not really the adds for me, as I saw many people talk about. I mean, most reviews complaining about the adds are exaggerating at least a little bit, plus, it’s how they stay in business. The real issues are bugs. DEVS, PLS READ!! First of all, it may just be my device, but the game is pretty laggy at some points. Second of all, the things in my delivery box keep resetting, and I have to keep placing them back every time I go to my house. This might be because the things were in the way of renovations, but still, the game could be better if this was fixed. Lastly, Idk if this is on purpose but I bought a bathroom floor I disliked, and went back later to change it, just that the price for that same floor had gotten increasingly larger. I didn’t have the gems for it, and I couldn’t watch an add, so I went back later to find out that the price had gone up EVEN MORE. In total, the price went up around 3 times, going from around 30 gems to 52.
Other than that, this is a great game for anyone who loves to design, decorate, organize, etc.! Sorry that was kinda long, thx for reading!
UPDATE TO: Love(d) the game but no support
Mon Oct 02 2023 houseofvasWow so I wrote this review hoping to receive a response either via the support email address or at least in the comments of this review. What I can now see is that this team has completely ignored this review and instead responded to more recent reviews about the frequency of ads. I will continue to review this app with lower and lower stars until the creators actually spend time supporting current game players. I watch your ads ; I pay for the game. I support your game and your success. As a customer, it should be your priority to resolve in-game issues instead of focusing on responding to only the reviews that mention frequent ads. Do better - we can clearly tell the business is responsive.
I really enjoy the game and after buying no ads have been loving it. That said for the last couple weeks the game has been glitching out during gameplay. After every room you organize you’re supposed to receive some item to put in your “overall house” however for whatever reason mine hasn’t been working. I’ve tried to contact support multiple times and can’t seem to get a response. I’ve checked all parts of my inbox too in case it got marked incorrectly but nothing. It’s been over a week and nothing yet there’s very active response to reviews on the App Store. Please help this game is 5 stars but when issues arrive it feels like the platform is very ill-equipped to deal with/support them.
Fun but Flawed Game
Tue May 16 2023 FangirlLanieThis game has the promising feature of being relaxing… except you can’t do anything for an ad popping up every 5 seconds (not an exaggeration). And while I pay to remove ads with most games I like, it’s $9.99 (or more with packages) to remove ads. It’s just way too expensive when the average to remove ads is $4.99 or less. It’s to expensive to remove ads, and too frustrating to play, so the only option is to delete the app. Apart from the greed, gameplay-wise, it would be nice to move the boxes around and out of the way, if need be.
Update: Took it down to 1 star for the developer response. I think it’s really bad business to not listen to the majority of reviewers telling you the same thing: way too many ads. Yes, ads generate revenue to keep making the game. However, most developers understand how to do that in limitation to make your customers happy, not more frustrated. And most developers get more revenue with cheaper costs to remove ads (average $4.99). Customers are more willing to play and pay when greed isn’t superior to their happiness and enjoyment. Because nobody wants to have ads play more than actual gameplay, nor will want to pay $10 to remove that, and then to be told “oh well, we’re going to keep doing what we’re doing and ignore the vast majority of our customers, because we get more money from advertising.” I will definitely find a similar game that puts customers first, and happily hand them my money.
Reduce Ads
Sat Jul 20 2024 NerderdameI have played this game before and I stopped because it was constant with ads. I wanted to play again to see if it reduced because it was actually fun gameplay wise. But it still has a problem with too many ads, which is a shame because so many other players have said this. You could still make money from this game even if you reduced it, because then you’ll have players who will play longer and be more loyal. My suspicion is you want an incentive for people to buy the stop ads feature, but it feels expensive compared to other games that players will just stop playing the game altogether.
It also feels like either it’s timed on when the ads play or how many times you tapped the screen because it feels like I tapped it so many times trying to move an object and then get an ad. You have a good game and you’ll just be ruining it if you keep having these excessive amounts of ads.
I would also like to add a suggestion for a feature that would be nice for players. A decor item inventory book. Every item that you have for your own house that you are redecorating you can go through and see what it is. Because sometimes we don’t immediately use an item or want to use it and forget what it is. The book, stores and identifies the decorations/items that you might not want to use right away.
Used to be great…
Tue Jul 12 2022 Claire. E. WesselHonestly, I used to love playing this game, but at some point, there was an update and it made the game insufferable. Before the update, I could put items pretty much anywhere I wanted, but now I can’t leave things where I, and most other people, would actually put them. For example, I have never kept shoes in a drawer, always on the floor, usually next to a door. Or a vacuum, there is no way a vacuum would be stored by anyone on top of a shelf that looks like it is inches away from the ceiling and that you would need a step stool to reach. The fact that I can’t keep the items where I want them unless I want to receive fewer stars annoys me a lot. Something else that turns me away from playing the game as often as I used to is the repeat levels. I understand having some repeats, as there’s no possible way to make enough that there are no repeats, but there is one room that I seem to get every 3-4 rooms that I do. I get it so often that I avoid every “child’s room” level for as long as possible. I really did use to love this game, but the fact that I am now told where things have to go and am given the same level so often , I find myself not playing it as often. I would really like to see these things fixed, especially being told where to put items, as that is what puts me off of the game the most.
