Community Insight:
This is such a lovely app. We hadnt used it in several years, but now we realize how easily it can put a smile on someones face. You can send it to someone through email or iMessagejust a simple gesture to brighten someones day. Thank you for this wonderful app.
Love to grow the flowers but a big problem has come up. We pick a few flowers for a bouquet we go back to get more they r gone. We made a bouquet wanted to sen later well when we went to send it it was gone. That never happened before. We wish some one can fix a very bad problem. Noel. Help us out pls. Ive been playing this for years enjoy very much. So pls help us out fix the settings so our bouquets dont diss ape ar.? Thank you very much. We chatted with u a ing time ago. HELP ,!!!! Make a nice bouquet. Then go to send it its gone. Thank you.
Played this game for the first time, like, 10 years ago. Redownloaded recently because we wanted to grow flowers and not worry about ads. Not an action-filled or fast-paced game by any meansthis one takes some patience. But its so worth it. Its a very straightforward gameplant seeds, water them, fulfill the latest commission. Theres a list of totally optional achievements if youre a completionist. Thats really all it is. The credits build up slow, yes, but they do build up, and even though Im on the free version we have 6 gardens and 4.5 seed bundles. If you can get to the secret garden or the greenhouse with your first credit, itll get faster from there. Sending the bouquets to your friends is still kinda messed up, although they still kinda work by email? Sorta? Taking a screenshot is honestly higher quality so just do that if youre doing this game to build bouquets. If you just want to chill and build a nice garden with your flowerpots, though, this is a really good game. No ads, we cant stress that enough, no ads! Very few mechanics, and lots and lots of flowers. Very calm, very satisfying, and barely changed from 10 years ago. (Also if youre really that impatient, the drying timer relies on your device time, not any external clock, so uh. You can cheese the wait times by going to device settings.).
This is our favorite game it makes us happy.
This game is soo soothing. You can tell the team really put some effort into this game. Our favorite part is the sound effects. The nighttime sounds are wonderful and we cant get enough of the sound of the clay pots moving around. It appears that this game is no longer maintained, which is a shame as it is amazing. Ive dumped more $$ into this game than we normally do because we love it so much. Please continue development! Some ideas: Named gardens at birds eye view More sounds (Day time and night time ) More then one Bouquet in works at a time Ability to delete bouquet bouquet display case.
We love this game so much we have it on both our phones we used to play this on generation 2 IPad thank you for still having it here on the App Store so we can still enjoy it with our little ones.
We love this game so much, it is very entertaining and the flowers are beautiful. We only wish that the developers would fix bugs in the app so we could send the bouquets via SMS and make the app fit iPhone plus screens. Otherwise it is very perfect and needs nothing else.
Fun game to send loved ones a thank your or a get better message and the fact that it takes time to grow these plants so it feels special to us.
We love this game and all the glitches were already fixed also this is the best game to play if your bored at home and you can find anything to do.
Loooove this game . Could there be a setting where you can water them not just one by one but all at once? Just curious.
We are addicted, we admit it. We like to grow the flowers, and trade the credits for more fertilizer so we can grow more flowers. However, since the last update, Ive noticed a few anomalies: 1) bouquet requests will change before we can grow the flowers requested. It just happened again. We were growing some wild rose, and before they were grown the request changed to snappy flower. The bouquet request shouldnt change until it is skipped or redeemed. 2) pots of flowers are cloning themselves over neighboring pots, overwriting the previous flowers. This is not the occasional your flowers have spread where they spread to an empty pot, but overwriting a pot of flowers, so now we have 3 identical pots of pink grace (we never plant more than 1 pot of the flowers that regrow themselves.) Once even overwriting a pot that we were needing for a bouquet request that we were growing other flowers for. The cloned pot is the exact configuration (number & arrangement of blossoms) as the one it copied. Anyway, we wont stop playing this as we still enjoy it, but we thought youd like to know whats going on. Im using an iPhone 5 with latest iOS. (our original review below) we have a hard time keeping house plants alive, but these are great.
We remember playing this game when we were really little. Its been about six years since we were playing it and we loved it so much. We downloaded it again and it is so satisfying! We forgot how much we loved this! It isnt exactly a game but its a great way to pass time.
This is a really good gardening game. It's nice because it's not a game you have to constantly check up on, which goes well for when we have school. It's nice to come and check our flowers, water them, and then get back to work. Requests are nice to do, and it's nice that you can use credits you get from doing them to unlock things like more pots or seeds, making the requests very rewarding.
This is truly a wonderful experience! We wouldn't say it's a game, its simply something to be enjoyed. Great if you're looking to relax or pass the time. We would also say that its perfect for all ages, even those younger and older since you don't need to master a perfect skill or strategical plan. The Flower Garden is rewarding each and every time your flowers bloom. We like that you receive points for tending to your flowers as well as being able to skip the requested bouquets for points if you cannot complete the items being "ordered." The sound effects are quite nice and very relaxing. We would suggest that the noise for what we are assuming is a barking dog-HAS TO GO! The sprinkling of water is right on as are the birds during the day and crickets at night. PLEASE get rid of that dog like sound effect. It doesn't sound like a dog and its repeated far too often. It makes us want to mute the sound but then again we'll miss out on the relaxing birds/crickets which we really don't want to do. We hope this reaches the developer's attention.
We played this game since we were a little child (about 7 years ago, we think) and it takes us effort and time to grow these beautiful flowers. And each time we send these beautiful bouquets to those who want it (when earning credits) and to those who we love most, we always fled with tears. And when they received our bouquet, they said it was pretty and they loved it. We feel proud and happy every time we grow these flowers. This app made us more positive and helped us drive out our dispirited feelings. Thank you so much for creating this app, and we hope to look forward for new beautiful flowers and updates.
We love plants and flowers so much, but unable to properly care for them in our current living situation, so we're growing all the flowers we can and sending daily bouquets to our friends.
Our favoritest app! We love being able to play a game we can share with others who don't play.
We love this game but after not playing for a bit it took away our purchases, we can restore them but if we close the app they all go away again and we have to restore it all over again. Any way to fix this please.
Ever since we updated iOS, the game restarts pretty much every time we reopen it. It was pretty fun and relaxing while it worked though.
Sometimes we leave for hours and none of our plants have dried out at all ( not caused by vacation mode ) , as in the water meter hadnt moved in or from the green. We can add more water but that just moves it closer to the yellow. This doesnt effect all of the pots tho and its not all the time, it is really really annoying when 1 or 2 pot(s) of flowers take forever to grow and its not because of the plant being a slow grower or your own negligence. Additionally the email and SMS feature doesnt work. It lets you make the arrangement and fulfill the in game orders but after you type your message and fill out the send information nothing happens after that it says sending and nothing happens and you have to restart the app. While we enjoy the game very much the inconsistency of the time and which plants or pots will refuse to dry out is fairly annoying. As it doesnt seem to be a actual part of the game as that information would have been shared at the beginning and there would be a pop up message telling what had happened, as seen in random full blooms and random extra fertilizer. Please note that these issues apparent on both the free and full version of the game. And a question for you as well. Why cant we decorate the pots or have different pots. The terracotta pots are nice and all but after you have 2-3 gardens of the same thing it gets very redundant. Thank you for your time and we wish you a happy rest of your day.
We found this game after looking into an old favorite game of ours called Amazing Alex. Apparently, Snappy Touch games partnered with Mystery Coconut games to create Caseys Contraptions, the ip of which was bought by Rovio (the Angry Birds company) and rebranded as the Amazing Alex game we played. Dude, your game was amazing! We dont know how similar Caseys Contraptions and Amazing Alex were exactly, but the online images made the gameplay look very similar. This game has a completely different feel, but is just as great. Glad to see youre still in the videogame business. ;).
So we remember liking this game from when we were younger and we decided to redownload it recently but…theres an issue with sending bouquets that arent for bouquet requests. If you go the email route itll tell you that you need to set up an email account first…which ive done. And the message still pops up. If you try sending it in a text it literally never does it, just keeps you on the sending bouquet… Screen. This would be fine if certain flowers (like the iris mantle) werent locked behind sending bouquets to people. Im not optimistic about this getting fixed cause the last update on the full version was three years ago, so. If you want to get this game please keep in mind that you might not be able to unlock all of the flowers.
We have loved this game for the longest time, grew up playing it but Im wondering if anyone even works on it anymore these days..? Only complaint we have is that we cant send bouquets at all, please fix that bug.
This game is a really fun little game, but they dont seem to have many different varieties of flowers. They dont have daffodils, nor do they have any sort of flowering vine like clematis. Other than that would highly recommend. Its safe for the whole family, and makes us not feel like a complete gardening failure. Good confidence booster for those looking to try their hand at growing an actual garden.
Im not able to send bouquets anymore, we dont know why, we think theres some glitch with the app.
We love this game!!! But recently it is glitching all over the place. We have multiple pots of on flower that we didnt have before IN PLACE of an old full pot, not the flowers spreading trick. Also, we had a pot that went into bloom faster than normal and the next time we got on, it was barely growing again. Also, we will log on like 2 hours later and half our plants are dried out when they shouldnt be! We love this app, but the glitches need to be fixed please.
Every time the app got closed it would re start everything. We tried putting our account and stuff but it didnt work. Please fix this.
Ive played this game on our iPhone for several years and have managed to collect all the options FREE. We enjoy the game since it is a chance for some creativity with little pressure. BUT when we put it on our iPad (because its getting harder for us to see), it didnt copy our pre-existing game. It started a brand-new game. If it were really FREE, we would just work our way up again. But it is NOT FREE. So why is that part of the title.
So we got the game and we love it, but it keeps glitching to the point where our purchases are completely nonexistent and we have to start all over from scratch every 3 days. Honestly we have no clue. Do not hate the game, but the glitches are another story.
We don't often write reviews but…we had this game for a long time, and then deleted it. Recently, we redownloaded it and am severely disappointed…the 3 stars are solely for nostalgic reasons, but now Everytime we open it the game restarts and we've lost all our progress after tutorial it immediately re-gives us the tutorial -we're stuck in a loop.
The game is simple. Plant your flowers..water..and fill achievements and orders. Nothing to it. We have had this game for a long time and enjoy it. Didnt have any problems until recently the plants dry out within 30 minutes to an hour after watering them. We cant grow anything or achieve goals if we are watering them every 30 minutes to an hour. We have cleared home page, turned off our iPad waited a few minutes then turned it back on. Deleted the game and put back on. Ended up starting completely over. Any suggestions.
Ive been playing this game for literally over 10 years. We recently updated our iPhone to ios16 and now our game will not save our progress even if we keep the app open. It starts us back at square one as if we had never played before. Its a great game but is in bad need of an update for current operating systems.
Im mean its a good game but how do you make bouquets its hard we hate the game sorry but we just dont like.
When we were younger we had this game and it was a lot of fun because we were able to have tons of flowers and bouquets. But now its is extremely limiting and you cant buy anything with points. Now you have to buy everything with real money.
2/13/2018 good app but but send to facebook icon isnt there anymore. And the our music player for device you're on no longer works. Music icon pulls up blank white page and immediately goes back down. Used play our music with no problem. The 2 internal music players work fine. We used to have 5 stars for it …but parts are missing function and support does NOT respond. And we have spent $on it. Doug Think: if it's not broken, don't fix it, enhance it = continuing improvement.
This game has been out for a long time now. We had it right when it came out and had unlocked a lot of things. We redownloaded it today and there are so few choices to pick from and theres no way to pick up where you left off (or maybe its just been too long). Regardless, there are too many in-app purchases. This app has been out too long to still have so many. Make a single 2.99 purchase to unlock everything (seeds/backgrounds/pots/etc) and make fertilizers and colors be rewards for making bouquets. Id really like to get into this again, but its just so slow moving without making multiple purchases. Add some new seeds too.
We love planting, watering, growing. Would like to pick and arrange our bouquets, but game allows only a few flowers to be picked and there's nothing to indicate which can be cut. It's difficult to rearrange bouquets. Flowers do not move well.cant addressees be saved? We only know two.we would love to do bouquet, then add written card. Then click mail and write address…then Send. It's a great game…but if we can't cut flowers it's no fun.
Loved this game used to play it a lot way back when. Unfortunately game has glitches that are not being fixed you lose all progress when app is closed. Waste of money beware.
We loved this game but it's not supported on IOS 18. It resets back to the tutorial when we close the app. PLEASE FIX THIS.
Cant seem to send any bouquets which is weird. Please fix this. Thanks.
This game is fun in the BEGINNING, but later it gets boring. We normally use free versions of games, and even then they are good quality. This one, BAD. When you run out of fertilizer or color dust, you cant get more! Green thumb points take TOO LONG to collect, and credits too because you can only get them through green thumb points. Maybe some more pots. Some more flower seeds. Some more fertilizer and color dust! Maybe being able to plant 2 or 3 different flowers in the same pot, or getting one new fertilizer and color dust packet each day? We like how you can send bouquets, but we have no contacts on our iPad. This game could use more updates.
So it asked if it could access our contacts and said no because well no we dont trust the company. Then it started acting weird, and we tried to delete it and it deleted but it was still there. It was dark and we couldnt actually play it, but it was still there. At that point we kinda freaked out. Also, the games very restricted. Its awful, and out for money.
We played this a long time ago and it was wonderful. Downloaded this again on a new device. We are so surprised to find out everything costs real money; an extra pot, different colored seeds… Really? Selfish move by the developers.
Love the game but am bored now that we have unlocked all the seeds would love a update with more seeds like other games have.
The plant growing aspect is ok. Interesting how they grow. But the bouquet sending is weird. You have to type in the phone number to send it through text. Most haven't memorized numbers because that's what contacts are for. You can look at the contacts, but not select them. We tried sending one to our friend and it didn't work. You're on the right track, it just has some bugs in the sending aspect. We exited the app on accident during the tutorial and it skipped, leaving us lost. So maybe fix that because we had to re-download the app. Also the backgrounds and interfaces could use a design change. It looks like the kind of thing you'd play years ago. Other than all that, good performance and flower growth. Just the bouquets and interface need work.
Need more than boiler plate answers to problems and there is nobody to communicate with. Many of the parts to the game do not work like it did and the game wont advance without each step being complete we love this game-PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO RESTORE also the basic notifications are way out of date.
We agree, wont send bouquets anymore. About to delete app.
It wont let us send flowers to friends anymore:(.
This is a really fun app, and many years ago, we purchased all of the flower seed packs. We redownloaded the app recently and hit the restore our purchases button, but it didnt restore the seeds of love pack which we know we bought. It might be because we couldve purchased it on a different iTunes account, but we would still like our purchased seeds to be accessible.
