Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game and the puzzles in it! Its so fun and relaxing.
We have a lot of fun playing this game.
We love this game but.. Why did us and Ted have to break upp we wish we could make our own decisions like instead of going with the storyline we miss Ted.
Wat too many ads and the clothes that needs to be chosen is so skimpy. Do better.
We paid to remove ads and Im still forced to watch the ads.
Once we win so many levels in a row it glitches a level to where you cant win and takes away your boosters so you lose on purpose. Fun game but it has some of the dumbest glitches.
We have never played a game that actually offers you money to beat certain levels until now plus the story is addictive we highly recommend this game.
Has the makings to be a great game but takes way to many chances and lives to make a simple move its crazy. Ive just went through about 10 lives trying to remove 1 remaining block, other than that its a pretty good game.
We just played a level and it had to mix it up 10 times for us to be able to play we really like this game but it get impossible which does make it fun please try and make some adjustments maybe get 2 stars depending on the level.
It leaves us on the loading screen.
We like this game. The graphics are cute and story is fun. This is similar to others like it, except it becomes basically impossible to progress without spending money. There comes a point where the levels get so hard that youll play them 10, 20, 30 times and then get one star when you finally complete it. You rarely get more than 20 moves for every level, regardless of difficulty. We do like that it takes less time to accumulate another life to play than other games, but that makes sense because youll easily use them all on one level multiple times over. We understand needing to balance the challenge, but there comes a point where when every single level is so hard that you cant progress it all, it becomes less fun. Im not paying $5 every time we need gems to get 5 more moves. We would watch ads for them, but they dont even give that option. They just want you to pay. Im pretty close to deleting the game at this point.
It takes a long time to accumulate gems which is annoying and the jelly is hard to see. We wish they made it a more stand out color that isnt the same as the matching pieces like bright yellow or something. Other than that we like it.
Previously you offered many more stars and now you only offer one it's boring.
This game is mostly good, and the story is pretty inoffensive for the most part. However, theres a storyline where one of the main characters HIGH SCHOOL AGRD friend, is seduced by the mother of one of their other friends. Now theres an event solidifying that this boy met the woman hes dating when he was maybe 9 years old, and again, she is the adult mother of his friend. Very big red flag and not a good look.
This is a great game adorable and fun to play! The only issue we have encountered is that it is not ADA compliant for visual issues. Individuals with lower visual acuity and slight color blindness will find it difficult to play on certain screens. Specifically, when tasked with trying to eliminate the blue squares, it is almost impossible to see the blue squares against the background. There needs to be a greater contrast of colors there, otherwise people with visual disabilities are going to be very frustrated. We hope the developers will make the changes so that people with lesser visual acuity can play this game and enjoy it fully, because it really is a great little game! Thank you! :).
We love this game we love the set up is we love when we 3 stars at a time we are enjoying it a lot we will keep playing it.
We LOVE this game. It is so fun. We like how it has the match three aspect and also the story aspect. The best part is its EXACTLY like the ad, which is great! Ive downloaded SO many games based off of ads and theyre NOTHING like the ad! So we really like this game, and we totally recommend it to anyone who is like us and gets bored of games really easily. We can sit for HOURS on this game and not get bored. We seriously cant pull ourselves away from it.
Its not how it is in the commercial.
Even though all these ads are pretty annoying most of the time playing this game we love the story and how we are helping Annie get rid of this bullies so she can live out her high school life. If we ever came across something like this in real life, which we cant now that high school has passed, but if we do, we would stand up for someone just like Nate. Because its the right thing to do and we want to be a good person. We love this game! Keep up the amazing work, everyone! You all are loved and appreciated.
We like the game but the higher in levels you go, you barely get 3 stars. We never played a game where you put in all that work for 1 star. Still a cute game tho, would do the star thing different.
It keeps glitching when we get to the first level of the new story.. It says there's an error downloading, and freezes the page. Our wifi is working perfectly and it continues to freeze. You'd have to delete the game, then re-enter, then it'd glitch in the same level again. Pls help the plot seems really interesting and we want to play it, but this bug is preventing us from ittttt.
We recently started playing this game again and personally really love the storyline, and the fashion part as well. However, we just started the jogging chapter with Ted after we had a pregnancy scare and everything is going smoothly except for when you press the wear bracelet button with five starts and choose the bracelet it freezes EVERY time we go and try it again. Again we LOVE this game but this bug really upsets us because it stops you from progressing in the storyline. Please fix as SOON AS POSSIBLE.
After we varnish nails for the first time during level 12 our game glitches and is stuck on one screen.
Cute and fun so far but we have a question, do we HAVE to pay for the female love option or can we do it without payment.
This game is awesome! We like the story behind the actual game but for us it wont ever load and wont let our play. We had to reinstall it many times but had to finally delete it since it wasnt working. This was very frustrating. But other than that its a fun game.
We love this game. The story line is great and the clothing designs are cute too, but its kind of ridiculous that you need 6 stars for 1 shirt when you can barely get 2 stars by doing the games.
We updated it cause we wanted to make sure that the game is up to date and working properly. It is now not loading any levels at all. This is unfortunate since we genuinely enjoy playing this game.
We love the game dressing her and the story line but its so impossible sometimes to win levels with how many moves you get. The worst part being you can win a game but it wants you to watch an add and you just lost your win not fair when you have to play it like 3 times to finally pass it.
We have so much fun on this game however it crashes every other second and we lose everything we have worked for! Ill lose all our gifts and things we have worked for and then it crashes or an ad wont x out and Im screwed. Truly sooo frustrating.
Idk about you guys but every time we get into the app it goes dark and idk why. We dont think its our iPad but we think it might be a glitch or something.
This game is a W its so good and theres no ads unless you want to have more game moves. We dont know yet if this game is offline but its a really good game and fun to play the story we could care less about but its fun to make the character have a glow up. Ciao.
This game is fun and addictive. We like the story and the fun challenges and puzzles that go along with it. Id definitely recommend this game.
We love this game but the vip takes away from the game and it doesnt give us a chance to see the scenes or the outfits same for love matters plz get rid of the vip.
We really love this game for the story line, but, lately there has been a lot of bugs (issues) freezing upnot openingand it causes you to lose your boosters if youre in the middle of the game. Otherwise its terrific.
We literally just updated the game & now it wont open.
Every level we play or even when we press on Beckys Slot tab our game is stuck on that screen and we have to restart the game. Please fix this bug.
Level 924 is literally impossible, and we've been stuck on that level for weeks now. The last 3 perfume bottles are stuck at the top, and the rng is so hard, that you can't even make them switch to a side opposite to them, for them to drop to the bottom. We wish the top row would be able to count for them to fall at their corresponding row to count, but it's just stuck there, unable to move. As much as we wanted to finish this game, we think this might be a GG, and a soon to be uninstall.
We hate the co-op levels . 1. The fact that its 200 gems for one pass is CRAZY 2. We feel like the other player isnt pulling their weight 3. We feel like if you dont beat a level you should be able to start that level over again from the one you lost not have to keep starting it over from 1. 4. Yall make it nearly impossible to beat . Im on the one that we have to get all orange pieces . Theres NEVER enough of them on the board and we keep losing . Thats not fair at all and again having to pay 200 gems for ONE PASS IS INSANE 5. At least make them easier to win or give us the option of using a power up to start.
So as we were playing the game,we were really enjoying it but then we saw Annie without any cloths, it made us uncomfortable, also as we were trying to play a puzzle it for some reason didnt let us,please fix these bugs.
At some point the levels are just too hard and its very difficult to proceed in the story. Theyre incredibly frustrating (on purpose, so they can get you to spend money on boosters and more tries since this game is just a cash grab like every other app nowadays) and finally after beating the level after like 20 tries you win 1 star. Woohoo. A top costs 9 stars. Nevermind tops only costed 1 star in the beginning of the game and the cost just gets higher and its harder to get Annie dressed. Just once Id like to play a game where the main point isnt transparently that they just want to make money off of you. Lame and annoying.
Hi! First of all, we love this game! Our one suggestion is that for premium choices, could we pay gems instead of real money? Maybe per choice instead of for the entire thing? Thanks.
Its a cute and calming game with good background music but the commercials are cringe our only critique.
We absolutely love this game!! Such an interesting and engaging story plus actual cute clothes! Its honestly super addicting and does challenge you. Ive played for hours just trying to beat levels. It really is a great game, 10/10.
Ive been playing this game for a while and we dont know if its our phone or the game. But as soon as we level to 7, Annie disappeared off of the screen completely and then we cant continue to the next level. We can swipe to different screens but we just cant click on anything on the main home page. Please fix this! :).
The van can be fun even with the story part but after the first two stories theres a chance your character becomes bald and no cloths we tried resetting the game but we cant click nothing and cant see our character anymore.
We like it but we got stuck on a change hairstyle part where every time we click it it seems to freeze at the spot so if you could do a reset button for the level or something thatd be great.
We honestly love this game. However, when Im supposed to change Nates outfit for 2.99 it doesnt let us say no and it stays frozen. Our cousin has this game and never had this problem and we dont want to delete the game to start all over. Please fix this. Thanks.
We would give this game 5 stars because all in all it is a fun game. The story is interesting the activities are cool and the puzzle is mediocre. The thing that is stopping those 5 stars is the fact that you have to use A TON of power up actions in the puzzles in order to get three stars everytime you play a puzzle! You only get 1 star if you beat the level without using power ups, unless your lucky and still had 12 moves left after you best it to get the remaining stars. Receiving stars should be easier especially when you need 6+ to complete task.
We love this game, but dont like how some things take so many points to get. It takes to long to get 9 points for 1 item, especially when you only get 1 point at a time. Loved that you could keep playing, watching games. Then it started letting you watch one ad, and you had to spend your gems. Had to delete it.
Been playing it for a bit and Ive come to the dilemma of no more episodes. We paid for a subscription and cant even really use it since theres no update yet.
