The reviews highlight a common frustration with grinding in the game, as players find the process of earning coins and advancing through tasks to be tedious and slow, often leading to a pay-to-win mentality. While many appreciate the game's fun and engaging farming mechanics, they express that the long wait times and limited resources can detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is enjoyable for farming enthusiasts, but the grinding aspect may deter some players seeking a more streamlined experience.
“I really want to like this game, but immediately I realized after I got the hang of it what other people were talking about. I actually leave to play my other farming game waiting on multiple kinds of feed to produce. The longer I played, the more money I was inclined to pay. I tried playing without paying, and it's extremely tedious to earn coins for buildings and things you need to proceed in the game. I don't usually pay to play, but oh my god, you get nowhere fast!”
“It's really tedious and slow to advance in the game. The cost is ridiculous for the things you can do. Also, what is the premium membership getting me? I don't even know. It's sad because the game is really fun.”
“Just another pay-to-win (optional) farming sim where you need to no-life to get the basics.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of mandatory ads that disrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Many players express frustration over the necessity to watch ads for basic actions, such as clearing obstacles, and report issues with ad functionality, leading to a stagnant gaming experience. While some appreciate the option for in-app purchases, the high costs and aggressive ad placements have driven several players to consider uninstalling the game.
“Try it, what's it going to hurt? It's free and does have in-app purchases available.”
“No ads, so no gifts.”
“Unfortunately, no ads again, which means we can't cut down trees, bushes, etc...”
“I played for a few days, but the ads were annoying enough to make me look elsewhere.”
“You have to watch ads to remove dead wood/trees which you have to do most days, if you haven't enough axes or saws, but eventually the ads stop working so you're left with a load of dead wood that you can't get rid of. My farm is full of dead wood, so I have had to stop playing it.”
“The amount of advertising is impressive; it always plays an unskippable ad just for launching the app.”
