Price and subscription60%

108 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ loved the PC version, but this is ridiculous. In the original game, you paid once. Here, you have to pay every single time you want seeds and you'll need them constantly after selling your plants
★★★★★ Didn't get the memories, only asked for money.
★★★★★ Thankfully I didn't spend money.
Lost data, sync, backup14%

25 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I lost money because I had purchased bucks, I lost all my supply upgrades, collections, seeds and my progress.
★★★★★ I'm so sorry to say this but by the time I found out I need real money to win the game, I deleted it.
★★★★★ I've lost so many plants and can't make enough coins to buy the spray.
Limits, credits, locked features8%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Here, you have to pay every single time you want seeds and you'll need them constantly after selling your plants
★★★★★ You have to pay to finish the game apparently?
★★★★★ Deleting it now as you have to pay for Plant Bucks, which you need to progress, and there is no way of earning them.
Bugs, things not working7%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Terrible Apple adaptation with grabbing items you didn't intend, trash not working now.
★★★★★ Like the idea of the game and the gameplay mechanics. The fact you have to spend real money to win is a complete break of the model.
★★★★★ Sogar die mit plant bugs gekauften Sachen.
Wrong or poor results6%

★★★★★ please help me understand what's going wrong
★★★★★ For some odd reason, watching fake plants grow is really addictive.
★★★★★ Great game, wrong scheme.
Worse after an update4%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Please release a new version, even if it is $2.99.
★★★★★ This game hasn't been updated since 2011.
★★★★★ Iv had this game for a long time and it dosnt get updates so either you guys are being LAZY AND WON'T DO ANYTHING or Your working on a REALY big update with I doubt that so this game is USLESS !!!!
Crashes and freezes4%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Not to mention that the game critically crashed and I had to delete it.
★★★★★ Plus when I try to plant a seed, it crashes my game, which I see has happened to a lot of people.
★★★★★ Keeps crashing when I try to plant one particular seed.
Missing features4%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I kept racking up coins on this app, but no way to earn bucks without buying them.
★★★★★ If I just haven't found that feature, let me know, but as it is, there's no way to know which plants you've crossbred unless you make an excel spreadsheet.
★★★★★ So unless you're writing down or remembering what the seeds and plants all look like there's no way to keep it all straight!
