People need to stop giving this bad reviews. IT IS AMAZING! Dont change a thing about it. We just love planting the crops and making ice cream! We love this so much! DOWNLOAD IDLE RANCHER.
The game is good, and it has a cute art style. It would be really good if you fixed one thing. When we get a chest, there is no back button so we can get off of it. When we exit and get back on the game, the same thing happens.
We love the game we think its great but it has a bug…the bug is wen you go to collect your first chest it wont let you out of that screen thats why Im a low level.until they fix the bug its a 4 star.
We went to claim a chest but theres no button to go back. Please fix.
We CANNOT play this game past the quest Open 1 chest. It doesnt allow us to. We play on iPad, which is supposedly compatible, but the screen does not stretch far enough so we can see all the enter and exit options. Please fix this ASAP, we really like this game.
The chests make you stuck and its so annoying.
Pls add ads its a great game though we would like a few more crops and in app purchases.
Its a really good game but the ads dont work we wanna harvest again but we need to wait 12 hours cause the videos dont work.
Amazing, quite addictive, this is a cannot stop game once you started.
So Ive been playing for about 2 or 3 years and we forgot about the game until we remembered idle rancher. When we rediscovered the game we played idle rancher for a while until we knew we could make ice cream. And we made the Ice cream and started it and a few minutes later, we got the 6th plot and we tried to restart and make ice cream.So can you please fix this bug please, thank you.
Idk how to use potions but great game.
This game is very cute and fun! But we cant get the ads to work so we cant get any bonuses.
We love the cute food but when we press the chest button we cant get out and we need to close the app.
It never shows you how to use potions. We are quite confused on how to and Im not sure if its just us. We tried googling for answers yet we couldnt find any either. It is quite frustrating. Other than that, its a really enjoyable game! We can pass a lot of time playing it which is saying something. We highly recommend this game.
We just downloaded this game and started playing it when it said we got a chest and had to open it so we obliged. We collected our chest and thought the game crashed because we couldnt leave that screen, so we shut down the app and reopened it. We got another chest and hoped it didnt crash again until we realized it didnt crash. There s no way to exit the chest screen. We think the game has a good concept and the art style is what drew us in, but this needs to be fixed. We dont want to have to keep on closing and reopening the app every time we want to open a chest. Other than that we havent run into any other problems yet.
We wish there were bug fixes with ads not being playable anymore because half the game we need ads to use certain things.
We really like the game itself but the bugs need to be fixed still. It wont let us watch videos to use any of the helpful tools.
The ads on this game doesnt work for most of the devices we play on please fix this bug.
After coming back to the game after 5 months no money display next day 141226 until ice cream time.we dont know how it happened. Yesterday ice cream time was 1 hour at night next day it was 141226 hours now, please fix it. Thank you.
We absolutely love this game, its our go to game for when we just need to pass some time. The issue is that its stopped updating since last year. We dont mind not having updates, we do mind having half of the game functions not work because theres no ads. Id suggest having a function where ad rewards still go through if no ad can be played, there are many other mobile games that do this. You ask for a reward that requires an ad and if it cant be played then the game lest you know and gives you the reward. Im just sick of not being able to use the singer or mole yet having all the quests telling us to use them. Wish we could bump the rating up to a 5 star but we cant even use half the game.
This game is so cute and has a lot of potential but hasnt been updated in almost a year. Please dont abandon this game.
This game looks super fun and amazing, and we just love the art style its just so cute! But we cant play it because of the chest thing, we dont know if its different for other people but when we click the chests theres no back button! So we cant get out of it and progress to the ice cream part of it, please please please fix it we understand if it takes time, but we hope you can fix it so we can play this wonderful game! ^ v ^ (edit) ello, ima here again because of the last update, the one that says it fixes the bugs, we were really happy to see that they have updated it so that we could play this cute game, but upon downloading it and playing it again, that they have not fixed the bug, and we still cant close out of the chests, and cant progress through the Christmas lvls, and we just say this because we want the makers of this game know that they havent bin fixed, but please keep it up and we hope you can fix these issues. ^ v ^ <3.
We have lag issues a lot when harvesting, and now it bugged out with making ice cream it wont make it after the tapping scenario. We wasted potions and the game is stuck.
Please make it so we cant get duplicate puzzle pieces. It feels like playing for nothing, and is immensely frustrating. This game is too cute for that.
We straight up cannot tell if our edited review went through or not but here we go: Im reviewing this because we seriously want this game to work. The art style is adorable. This is the second time Ive downloaded this game and have tried giving it a shot, the Christmas version is up and everything is adorable but Im still running into the same problems that we pointed out before. The entire game seems to be zoomed in and causes a softlock to happen when you check on the chests. The very least yall could do is at least put the exit on the top corner or something. Im honestly annoyed by how smoothly all the ad stuff runs but the game is so dang broken. Like at least it runs smoothly but we cant really do anything besides continuously gather coins and not change anything. Also the Christmas part is broken too, Ive unlocked more than enough plots of land to be able to go but it wont let us go, just keeps saying that we need to unlock a number smaller than the amount of plots Ive already unlocked. Please just fix it… We want to play forever. EDIT: you still havent fixed the problems at all. Game softlocks itself by forcing you to go the chest page, only way to bypass is to close the app and ignore the chests. Multiple times Ive unlocked all plots and we were unable to play the holiday games and we still cannot prestige the farm. Yall need to fix it or just toss it all away.
Hi Im zayden we got locked in the game so pls fix the chests.
There is noway to close the box after you claim the chest, so we cant even get past the freaking tut! Thanks for the reply, Ill wait to play until the bump is smoothed out.
The app was great until we went to use our potions and upgrade and it completely froze and wouldnt do anything. Closed the app, didnt work, restarted phone, didnt work, and caved and redownloaded it. Now all our progress is completely lost.
After clicking on the chest you cant go back but other than tat the game is good.
Something went wrong with rewards and earnings when they updated and added Christmas farm. Plus there is no way of reporting this issue. If they would fix this, that would be great. This game was fun until latest update.
We love this game, its fun and such to see what ice cream youll unlock but…the recent update is making the app lag so badly that you can play at all. It even glitches and didnt use our potions but showed we had none when we had a lot after it crashed. Until its fixed, the game is unplayable in just regular game play, we havent tried the christmas even because everything lags and icons are showing on top of other icons when before they didnt. Ill give it full stars when they fix the most recent bugs caused by this recent update.
Just downloaded the Christmas update and now the offline earnings is gone.
So… We really enjoy this style of game. Ive played many games just like it, but this one is the cutest. We cant open chests because no back button. Ive spent gems trying to open it even, and lose them, but still cant get back to the game, so, exit, reopen, and… Open chest is still our quest… The gems are missing… And we have, apparently not opened it. The event! Looks adorable! Cant exit the speech box to play it. Basically, just waiting for an update so we can enjoy this beautifully adorable game.
There is no X button for some reason.
This has quickly become one of our favorite games! The ads are actually really well done, the graphics are ADORABLE, and its really calming to play! Theres little trivia questions and we enjoy them a lot.
Every time we try to collect a chest, after we collect it there is no back button or any other way to exit the screen and its so annoying.
Same problem. Cant watch ads or it wont let us exit the screen. If we reset the app it acts like we never watched it and doesnt give us our rewards. If we spend gems to open it instead itll take our gems but wont give us the reward.
We agree with people who have this problem,WHY CANT we EXIT THE CHEST ICON?!?!?!LIKE WHAT?ITS MAKING ME DO IT IM SO mad,this is the worse game we ever had.
The screen where u watch an ad or pay gems to u lock the chest isnt sized right, there is absolutely no way to get off the screen! The game prompts you to that screen during the tutorial, so its totally u playable after about 2mins! How in the world do things like even happen? A simple play through would clue you in real quick, and/or anyone beta testing would pick up on this immediately.
After you watch a video for a chest the game breaks and you can never move on.
