Need more chapters & stories please

Let me first start off by saying that I absolutely love this game. The ads really don’t bother me because you can close them out a few seconds after they begin. Only time I choose to watch the full ad is when I’m doubling my reward for X2 hammers (well worth it). However, as of right now, I’ve stopped doubling my reward because I have 261 hammers and nothing to build. There are only 16 “chapters” and for over a month now, when I try to go to number 17, it shows a black square and has “Coming Soon” above it. I’m on level 331, I’ve already done all my stories too and I’m caught up on my daily challenges. I keep playing the levels because I’m obsessed with this game but at the rate I’m going, I’ll have so many hammers that when they do release more chapters, I’ll probably complete them all in a day. Please add some more chapters asap. Along with some more classic and graph stories. TIA

Interesting, but the ads kill it.

I don’t know what that reviewer saying there are no intrusive ads is on, but I can literally open the app and an ad plays right away, lol. Seems pretty intrusive if I can’t even open the game without seeing an ad. The first few rounds, there was just the little ad banner at the bottom, which is rarely an issue. I think we’d all be fine if that was how all the ads were. However, after I played round 5, ads started popping up nearly every minute. Yes, it’s usually after a round, but if you click around too much in the game, you’ll also get an ad. Now, I can barely go 5 clicks without an ad being thrown at me. Once, I literally closed the game because someone called me. I came back into the game and an ad played right away. That’s a first and I’ve been playing mobile games for some time. The game is a bit weird when you read the “clues”, such as a clue saying someone became “a gay” because his mother abused him. I didn’t know being gay worked that way, but okay. Like, are people only straight because their parents don’t abuse them? Like, what? 😂 Anyway, I don’t know how this game has such high ratings considering all the ads, but it’s interesting, I’ll give it that. Would be better without so many ads, but we can say that about 90% of mobile games.

Too dependent on Ads

The latest update has made everything too dependent on ads. It takes forever to collect hammers to add people to your new city. And the coins are now almost completely useless. Want to revive hearts? Watch an ad. Play an old daily puzzle? Watch an ad. Play a story? Watch an ad. Need a specific person in your city? Watch an ad. Double your rewards? Watch an ad. Do a timed challenge? You guessed it, watch an ad. I have THOUSANDS of coins and they do nothing. Wait— that’s a lie, they do do something. You can buy backgrounds and circular frames for your family trees. This is a feature NO ONE asked for and adds nothing to the game play. And now since the update, they’ve switched the location to skip ads. So if you’re trying to quickly get to the next level, sometimes, you’ll press the wrong button cause you got use to it being on the left. Now it’s on the right AND delayed appears. Mind you I paid the $10 for ad free. The ads are loud and obnoxious and even disgusting. They won’t stop using an ad with grotesque pimples and other body growth. I normally don’t write ads, but I use to really enjoy this game and the new update has ruined it.

2.5 or 3 Stars

I downloaded this game to my phone about 2 to 3 days ago. At first things were fine, they had adoptive children, interracial couples, which was great. However I would've liked to see more same sex maraiges, adopted kids in married couples, ect. There are also a lot of ads which can be annoying. After looking through other peoples reveiws it seems the 'No Ads' Pack doesn't actually get rid of ads. It seems to only allow you to skip through the ads. Then as you get to higher levels, inbreeding is deffinetly an issue in this game. If you like mini games it's great game because they have a town thing for you to do. However, they only have eight towns, others may come soon, I don't know. They have daily challenges and chllenge modes you buy with coins you recieve in the game. It's mostly good because it gives you other things to do, than the main levels. While the game has it's AI issues like the incestual relations, the no same sex marraige, ect, it isnt the worst mindless game to play. Sorry for the impropper grammar and incorrect spelling.

Great Game But WAY TOO MANY ADS

I downloaded this game almost 2 weeks ago and the first couple of days I was impressed, I liked it so much I downloaded it on my tablet as well. But the ads became just way too much, I even took the plunge and purchased the ad free version(overpriced btw) for my tablet thinking that would get rid of the ads and it did not what so ever so a waste of my $10. The daily challenges are better/harder than the regular game which I prefer. The regular game itself became very repetitive has you move up in level so that was beginning to turn me off as well. The matches in between I found unnecessary because matching couples together is just not that interesting to me. Overall it’s a great game, just needs some tweaks with the language and the ads maybe one or two per every couple of games just not after ever game you play or if you want to replay the daily challenges that you missed. I am beginning to lose interest with the game just because of the ads and the repetitiveness.

Fun, As Advertised BUT TOO MANY ADS

Super fun game. The addition of the daily challenges is really fun but having to watch an ad before EACH one is ridiculous. These are not short ads either. 30-45 secs every single one. The no ads purchase does not completely erase ads and the app says so. It is only to skip ads that pop up as you progress through the game. So read carefully first if you’re going to purchase. Reduce the ads and/or reduce the steep fee of 9.99 for “no ads”. It should be noted that I am not against watching ads to progress through a game for free but this game wears down my patience and creates lull in gameplay which is a sure fire way for me to delete an app. Also some other reviewers mentioned the storylines. The storylines are pretty rough. The pronouns are wrong “Julie is married and ‘his’ husband…”, marrying cousins, etc needs some work but let’s be honest it does reflect today’s modern family as far as same sex marriages. I gave 3 stars specifically because of the ads.

Redundancy is boring

I like this game. It’s interesting. My issues, however, are (1) the text is so small. I’m playing on a phone and I can barely see the words and (2) I keep repeating puzzles, the only thing that changes are the names. I just completed today’s daily puzzle and I didn’t have to read or think about it because I’d just completed it a few hours ago. Now it’s starting to getting boring. They also repeat through the levels not just the daily puzzles. Too many more repeat puzzles and I’m deleting. This is awful for a cool game and (3) what is the purpose of the coins? There are only 24 challenge levels. The in-game purchases feature coins as if it’s a deal but why would I pay real earned money for something that will just be a number sitting on the screen? Why not more hammers as rewards? You added more neighborhoods, the hammers would be helpful. Edit: Do you listen to the customers at all? Just asking. So people say the ads are a bit excessive so you add more?? Ok. I like still like this game but I’m deleting. Redundancy is boring.

Too many ads and inaccuracies.

As everyone else stated, way too many ads. And honestly, the ads wouldn’t seem that bad if they weren’t so long. It’s already bad that clicking the “x” on ads no longer actually exits out, but you have to sit through a good 1-2 minutes of a full ad. It’s unnecessary. Especially given the amount of ads ran. Besides that, the inaccuracies in the game. I thought I misunderstood (I am a genealogist, so this game was entertaining and pretty easy for me to understand). Once I kept getting an answer wrong and had to sit through a minute long ad, I decided to screen record the riddle & my response. The riddle: “Ben and Austin are identical twins brothers with Ben being the older one.” There were three slots. I put Ben in the middle (came out “correct”), then placed Austin in front of him and it was incorrect. If Austin is older than Ben then he should be placed in front of him. There were several others that were incorrect. Then you’re forced to sit through a lengthy ad to get that play time back so you can come back and answer the question incorrectly in order to move on.
