Does anyone else think Gregs letters are a little aggressive.
Love the game but it would be great if the seasons changed and we could be mowing up leaves in the fall and snow in the winter. Seems really odd to have grass and flowers in the dead of winter.
LA LA LA LA LA LA Hi again stop the adds.
This is a really great app relaxing and fun but we really wish we could place the animals in our yard, or else buy a house that comes with animals. We currently have a horse farm with a place for a horse that has no horse. Thanks.
We have been playing this game for a while and we love it! It also has NO ads.
Just Mowing is a fun game, but we have decided to take a break from playing. The game has been around for a while, and it has some frustrating aspects. We are not interested in making in-app purchases, so having toolboxes in our inventory that we can't use without spending money is a drawback. Additionally, we are not interested in catching critters every time we mow, as we simply don't have the time for it. This aspect of the game is particularly time-consuming for people who want to relax or engage in other activities. We think the game would be more enjoyable if the in-app purchases were removed, making it completely free to play. This would alleviate the frustration of having items in the inventory that can't be used without spending money, and it would also make the game more accessible to a wider audience. Overall, we enjoyed the game, but we would prefer a more user-friendly experience without the pressure to buy additional items or engage in time-consuming activities.
This game is our go to when we dont want to doom scroll on social media. The game is fun, and we like the concept of being able to buy home lots, but it could use some improvement. We think there should be a home market where you can go and view the houses that are for sale. Currently, the house that is for sale is up to chance. There was a home we came across that we really liked and wanted to buy, but we didnt have enough jewels so we had to pass on it. Ive been saving our jewels and now have enough to buy it, but we have not come across that home- or any home in that same price point since.
We used to really like this game until they put ads in after every single lawn. Sounds to us like this company is money hungry.
Bro this game has ZERO ads we mean Zero we have not got any ads At all in 9 weeks buy this game now PLS.
We cut the grass of our fam ( we're in 9th grade) and we got addicted to cutting grass in a way and this game is now one of our favs.
This is the most zero stakes game you will ever play. We love it, and while there are in-app purchases, you can absolutely play without ever needing to make any. We love everything about this, including the music and sound. We literally mute everything on all our other games, but we dont like to play this one without the sounds on. We wasnt planning on getting this, we didnt see it on an ad, we just went to the App Store looking for calming games. When we first saw it, we were like, why would any one enjoy this, but we had to check it out. 100% best game choice Ive ever made. Seriously, thank you to makers of this game. It brings us so much joy. Please dont change it.
So thoughtfully designed. Im hooked.
This game has us saying "One more lawn and then we go to sleep" but nope! This game is actually so addicting! But we do play it with no Wi-Fi because the ads kinda remove %5 of the serenity of the game, we love the avatars and everything is sooooo perfect, not 5 stars, but 999 <3.
Its great but it would be better if you could steer diagonally and things werent so expensive and if you had more control over the direction of the mower.
You lose your home and what you paid for it if you buy a new one. What?! 20k coins gone.
Great game, played for years. This new update takes away a lot of the fun.
Home lawn idea needs work. Rather than starting there every time give the option to go there to modify by our choice. The sign in the yard also in the way. This was a fun and relaxing game. We're on our third time through and this update now has us reconsidering if we want to continue or not. It's frustrating to be forced to always start at the same place every time.
Now its a real estate game where you have to be on the lookout for different tiers of property as you go, or else youll be collecting a bunch of yard decor that you cant place anywhere. Im sure it will be satisfying for many, especially those who either dont know the original game or thought it was too simple. But we dont understand why they couldnt allow us the choice of continuing to play the classic version.
This was soooo much better until the update with the home lawn. Now you have to mow the same lawn every single day. The boosts you can buy used to match up perfectly with the number of lawns to mow before she showed up selling them again (they last nine yards, she shows up every nine yards to sell more); now it throws everything off. So frustrating. The stupid home lawn should be optional. Its definitely made us not want to play as much anymore.
It WAS just mowing, now theres real estateIm out. Already glitchy and cant plant a plant.
This game is the game Ive been waiting for.
Just mowing lawns what a great game. Its fun and easy to play.
We LOVE that ads are completely optional.
Like the title of the game thats all it is! We do wish there were more open fields instead of houses with obstacles. Forced ads after many yards. Very sad. We hate how much these games kill themselves with ads.
We got this game because we wanted something where we could just keep doing something that was you know nice, Tidy, and honestly gave us inspirations for our future home and just to further make us love yard work. This has NO ADS unless you want more gems. We love this game honestly.
Ive been playing for over a year. The concept is simple, but it is our go to when we are feeling anxious. We love the mowing sounds. Greatly recommend.
Nice game. Good graphics. Just maybe a little variety on the yards and fields (maybe a few winter yards where snow needs removed or maybe Zamboni a rink) but otherwise a decent game.
Would be sooo much more satisfying with haptics whens mowing the lawn.
As soon as we submitted a review ads started appearing. Its a smooth game. Well made. We just cant do the ads at the end of every level.
Hate the way the mower moves made us aggravated rather than relaxed . Even with the zero turn.
Lots of ads! But we like to play.
We loved this game in the beginning, when things were new and it was fun to get new stuff. Now that Ive been playing for awhile and not gettting much new items, its just not worth our time anymore. The straw that broke the camels back was this summer event. Only getting 2 flowers a lawn if youre lucky, it takes FOREVER to get to 900. You used to get between 1-4 every yard but they clearly nerfed it to keep you playing. We regret purchasing the no ads package as this game has become nothing but brain rot at this point. Thanks for memories but its time to grow up and move on. We would NOT recommend this game to anyone.
We got this game thinking it was gonna be boring. But we were definitely proven wrong. All of the good reviews are right because this game is extremely satisfying, stress relieving, and it is also outstandingly fun. If you are stressed out or need to calm down, play this game. If you are bored and tired on a flight or a road trip, you need to play this game. So try its literally just mowing so we can get on with our day AND MOW SOME MORE LAAAWWWNS.
At first glance this game looks to be like like just mowing but in the truth it is game about taking over the east most Wendys in the White Houses under ground dinner.
We love this game.it is our favorite one on our iPad.
Im a Rancher and this game reminded us of cutting hay.
Smooth way to take a little bit of time.
Love this game been playing a long, long time . Always played an event, and always had 100% of items for that event. However, we havent had a new event show up since Lunar New Year and all our other event complete percentages now at 70-80%. Ive missed so much but no new things ever appear. We make sure we are on most current version! Im really upset about this.
We love this game very much and how simple the design is unlike other games Ive played we prefer this one 10/10.
We think that you should make them go much faster and upgrade the animals buy doing jungle type and then we think it will draw attention.
Its just really good for when your stressed or dont feel good.
Its fun if you like to watch ad after ad after ad after ad after ad after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads after ads.
Our son was playing on our phone and the mowing man jumped out at the screen and made scary noises! NOT suitable for young kids!!! -sincerely, a concerned mother.
We love the simplicity of it! We didnt think we would enjoy it this much but we love it.
The characters look cute but please add a Hispanic mower male and female and the females name is Maya she loves to paint her favorite artist is Frida Kahlo and her husband is Joseph the males name is Joseph he loves music his favorite singer is Michael Jackson and he is married to Maya they both were born in Durango Mexico and they have four children triplets and a son and they both have black hair but Joseph has a red highlight in his hair so please do this thank you also do this for the Easter update please thank you.
This game is so relaxing. We are hoping that they will eventually have more stuff like clothes and accessories that some of us ladies would like. Its hard to get excited over tires and seat cushions. Love this game tho.
Its so good we play at school too.
Its amazing how a simplistic game can capture our attention for so long its so much fun.
We literally love this game so much and it is just so relaxing! We could literally play this game for hours and hours nonstop. The absolute best part is it doesnt require any Wi-Fi at all!! But there is much more to this game than that. There is no adds (unless you choose to watch adds for gems), and no annoying parts that keep you from actually playing the main point of the game. Collecting the different animals and being able to customize your lawn mower just adds so much to the game as well, and the graphics are spectacular. Honestly we could just go on and on for days, but we dont want to keep you waiting from downloading this app right now.
We play this game before bed. The most relaxing game Ive ever played. Well done.
