Community Insight:
Oh our gosh, this game is so fun. We love it. We love building a new house. Its like so fun it kind of like his idea of what we wanted to sign our house when Im older. We love the little levels in between to get your money, not real money the coins anyways this game is the funniest game we have ever played before and we hope you like it too.
We loved playing this game with so many new and unique styles.
We love this game and there are no adds it is a some and you can design houses and it is so.
This game is really fun but it doesnt really work it keeps showing us a bunch of activitys when we try to decorate.
Please go back- Been playing several years, learning as we gosome levels VERY DIFFICULTBUUUUUTTTTTTTNOT IMPOSSIBLE. CURRENTLY ON LEVEL way past that 11,312 and have not spent one cent. Im patient, but some rounds take weeks or even months.
Others might enjoy competing but we like to play for our pleasure and at our leisure. So, the constant prompts to compete are a drawback. Other than that the game is relaxing, gratifying, and fun.
The new update is awful. Ruins the game. Go back to the original game. Also too many extra challenges. Cant even finish a room.
LOVE this game! Ive been playing it for a few years but the newest update that they did .. We DO NOT like it.
This game is fun and highly addictive. Which translates into you spending a boatload of money to get the rooms the way you really want them. You are rewarded with diamonds and cash and you buy items with both. But the catch ismore things costs diamondsand thats much harder to come by. A few years ago you could complete a whole room with very little outlay. Say you spent $10k on a room. You could fill all the bubbles. Then they added more items to the room like hanging plants, wallpaper, pets and pillows. Pretty quickly a regular room costs you 40k. The rewards have not gone up much either. So you arent getting the bang for your buck like you used to. Add to that the extras theyve included are ridiculously priced. This holiday season you can get Christmas lights for $1500(!) Cmon.
We really love this game, but recently its taking waaaaaaaay too long to start up and load like minutes just to get into the game. Hopefully this gets fixed.
We have been an avid player of this game for years. We absolutely loved it for a long time but lately we have noticed many issues in terms of bugs and crashing. In some cases, it wont even load at all and then crashes. It seems this game has had several owners so Im not sure if thats why it has gone downhill. Im also noticing that some levels arent even there and it only says coming soon. We hope that doesnt mean the game is in trouble. That said, if it did go away Im sure Id get some of our life back! :-).
We would have given this 5 stars but . We cant play the game anymore. All it says is new levels coming. We know its a game, but like an idiot Ive spent money on it. So basically thats like stealing money.
More and more it takes longer for the game to load. Some times we cant get on it at all but we love the game. Im 1300+ levels in so we dont want to delete and re install it in risk of losing all our progress we have a iPhone 17.
Ive played this game for quite awhile and suddenly its almost impossible to open the app. Loading screen remains for multiple minutes before app opens.
Why does it not come up. Fun game but theres a bug that needs fixing.
This has been our go to game for the past 6 years! We have always loved this game, but this latest update is awful. We hate that it's now more like candy crush or something. We get on to check if it has changed back to how it was before this latest update almost every day. So upsetting.
This game use to be our favorite but recently they changed it and it sucks now. Needs to go back to how it was.
The update from 12/25 is terrible. It totally changed the game and the prices of things in rooms have doubled, even tripled. We play the same level over and over to get no where. Its only been a few days and the game we are most faithful to, put more money into (which we shouldnt, but do) and make time for is no longer one we want to play. Please go back to the previous game play.
We enjoyed it when we first got it but then it started moving from house to house to challenge and we were like wait what about this one, and its just so stressful especially when you only have a few days to complete all of them. Also when we were trying to do a house this thing kept popping up like this moving on up thingy and IT WOULD NOT go away. Like we pressed exit then like three milliseconds later it was there again, not letting us play the game. Thanks for reading this if you did.
Please get rid of the new designs that the latest update did. Ive played this games for years and Im about to delete it, because we hate the new design of the matching part game. Pleaseeeee.
Fun game but try to get help from support?? Well Good Luck!! This has to be the worst support for an app Ive ever experienced! Now its changed to be more like Candy Crush- and theres a reason we dont play candy crush.
Love the game but its hard to play when the game wont load on our iPhone.
There are new enlarged gems and features and we dont like them, we wont the old version back. Plus, we play this game EVERY SINGLE DAY. We havent been able to open it in a week! It just freezes during the opening. Please fix it.
Since the last update it opens slowly or not at all. Ive been playing for years.
Our sister and we both play this game and our gameplay is completely different than our sisters. She has power ups that make the level so much easier to complete. Im actually shocked when we play her game versus playing ours, we dont know why this is when we are playing the same game. Please fix this issue because it is extremely annoying and we dont even wanna play on our own phone because our sister has a version that is for some reason not available to us.
We wish the game was like the add. Giving a budget and we need to stay within the budget. Too many adds and you need to spend money as the higher levels are tough to beat.
We have been playing this game for years. This new update sucks and makes the game not fun. Bring back the original design. This is why we didnt update for a long time.
Im personally in love with this app because one it actually lets you start with the easier to harder levels but either theyre just easy because Im like really really smart and also we really really love to sell puzzles and Im very really good style and we just love it and its a lot like the app than you think its so like the other other games we feel like personally they just have an amazing intro but really when you download game app its nothing like the ad so we present to you house design makeover, so you could download it and give it five stars and write a review like this. Have a good year.
This game takes your mind off of the days worries.
They just want your money. The game itself is fine, good way to pass the time until you break down and give them a buck. Sometimes we feel ok about it because theres no ads but they always make us regret it. Been stuck on a so called easy level for a day now, its a weekend so we have popped in a lot, use up our lives each time cant win no matter what. If it were a hard level we would be annoyed, a super hard level we would understand but a basic level? They just want money. Deleting, we dont play these games to be frustrated we literally play to unwind.
We absolutely love this game but theres just way too much going on! If you could take out the DIY and maybe something else then we would feel less overwhelmed. Otherwise amazing game.
Will change to 5 stars if you finally add career levels! Ive been playing for 4 years and which is longer than Ive ever played any game and Ive loved it. However, Ive been waiting 3+ months for new career levels. Plus theres been a lot of glitches lately. Glitches were fixed but still no new career levels. Im earning millions of coins with nothing to spend them on. Regretfully, we will have to find a new favorite game if they dont add more career levels soon. Something has changed with the developers because they used to be on top of things.
Only because they really do need a amazing digital circus option because that would totally be really fun to build like a circus house we think it would mostly just make us say aw mostly just because we would build like a cool circus house just for fun or if it was one of those ones that you can like do yourself and like put it on Facebook or something then more people would be like saying #Adorable Or LikeEven A Minecraft House Would Totally Be adorable and also again we just like helping boost population with more writing like this and why they should combined a lot of the other cool games or even build like a cool house like one that you can build yourself with like inspiration of like we mentioned or even like other cool characters cause we would totally build like a mixed up house it would totally be really cool mostly because it would be like a circus a haunted house and it would be like a indoor park kind of thing this is why people need to have stuff like this or like that we mentioned so that way we can like build our own houses maybe even like help out or even like mix it with that cool game called picture builder that would totally be fun too and again Im just saying for like more awesomeness as well like that.
We love this game and its the most fun game Ive ever played.
Ads are freezing, close, restart, freeze again. Please fix. Also heats up and kills our phone battery.
This game is so fun and creative we play it every single day when we can.
We like the game but a few things we hope changes. 1 when game is complete if theres moves are left it should be used to clear the board and tokens on board should be credited to players. 2 we only get 1-3 tokens per game if any so it takes a while to complete a renovation more should be available to win. 3 when event is done we lose unused tokens so we have to collect tokens all over again.
This game is so easy and fun and it is so interesting.
We love the game and the storyline. The side quests are fun too! The only complaint that we have is that if you are going to charge more for the renovations, give us more money when we pass the higher levels.
Kids will enjoy this game, which is really at least 3 games in one. At heart, its major appeal is designing rooms, which gives a sense of creativity. Most of it, though, is a typical (but pretty easy) match 3 game as thats how you gain credits in various ways to design the several different challenges. And theres an ongoing story about the designers that unfolds as you complete challenges. It isnt overly expensive unlike so many design games; dont pay for anything and you can still play.
We like this game our only concern is that we can barely get any thing done because the Caricters talk to much and the people are like thats cool thats ugly so we think the people should talk less.
We have been playing this game daily for years! Love everything about it, however this past year the game has crashed/Frozen on us for several hours or days! Not sure whats up, our app is updated.
Design games like these help us build confidence for DIYs at home.
Getting stuck in rallys in new update. Dont update until new fix comes out if your team is competitive in rallys.
We really like this game, have been playing for 7 years. The game has gotten to the point where its all competition now. If you dont score high enough you loose your ranking in the game. We really dont want to compete we just want to play the game without loosing a ranking. Its stressful. Everytime we play and found out that we have to compete against the other players we are playing the game non stop to loose any ranking. We just want to play for fun with no loss of ranking. Please allow players to opt out of the competitions, if we want to compete then we will.
The new update makes the game freeze especially when doing the team rally. Super frustrating. We love this game and before this update would have gave it 4-5 stars.
Awesome game to play when your at work.
Ive been playing this game for more than 5 years.we did new update and since then we cant watch adds to get extra moves or gems. Please solve the problem.
Was our favorite game but now it wont even load and we just made the decision to buy a gift set on the game.
Very disappointed to pay $7.99 to remove ads after having a long ad to get only 2 extra chances. Now that we have no ads, we get no extra chances to complete the level and end up playing each level longer than if we just sat through the ads.
