- “House flipper impresses with its beautiful graphics and detailed environments, creating an immersive renovation experience.”
- “The graphics are so realistic and it runs very smoothly on low devices.”
- “The graphics are mediocre for what it is....the only thing that keeps me from giving it a full 5 stars is the fact that to unlock new things you need to spend these coins.”
- “The graphics are very realistic.”

The game is praised for its lack of intrusive ads, providing a seamless and enjoyable experience. However, players express frustration over the difficulty in earning in-game currency (flipcoins) without resorting to real-money purchases, suggesting the addition of options to watch ads for coins or implement daily rewards to enhance gameplay. Overall, while the absence of ads is a significant positive, the monetization strategy could benefit from more accessible ways to earn currency.
- “No ads, no absurd money requests; you can just play the game.”
- “Definitely not a money-grabber, in-game purchases speed you along, but the slow road is free and achievable.”
- “No ads, and is for the most part playable without spending real money.”
- “I would love to give this game 5 stars because it's fantastic but there needs to be a way to watch ads to earn flipcoins as they're necessary to gameplay and become very difficult to acquire without paying money later on.”
- “The only thing I'd recommend is adding another way to get flipcoins, as they're really important - perhaps through the option to watch advertisements?”
- “It's a very fun game to play, and it doesn't have pop-up ads so you can play without interruptions. However, I wish there was a way to earn coins by watching ads because I have to create a whole new player because I had no more coins and all the jobs needed coins.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its repetitiveness and lack of depth, with many players expressing frustration over the limited variety of missions and the necessity to repeatedly complete the same tasks to earn essential currency (flipcoins). While some enjoy the basic premise of house renovation and the satisfaction of completing missions, the overwhelming reliance on flipcoins for progression and the long wait times for rewards detract from the overall experience, leading to a sense of stagnation and boredom. Players are calling for more diverse missions and better ways to earn flipcoins to enhance gameplay.
- “I love the different orders and story behind the characters' situations.”
- “The graphics are good, the gameplay is good, the only downside is that you have to wait four hours before you can get the rewards from completing a mission.”
- “Love it and the updates add a cool real-life story to the jobs.”
- “The game is good but I hate waiting 4 hours to take the money that I played for. Why should I wait for four hours to take the mission money and also buying anything needs coins? Once I finish them, I'm stuck as I can't do any other mission without the coins.”
- “The only problem is that if you run out of money, there is no way for you to earn money without having to go on another mission; hoping that you will have enough money to complete the mission from selling things.”
- “The app is amazing but at some point, you're stuck playing the same quest over and over because you just cannot progress and it really doesn't make me want to play any further.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, addictive nature, and relaxing experience, making it suitable for casual play. However, many players express frustration with the reliance on a premium currency (flipcoins) that can create a paywall, making progression difficult without spending money. While the graphics and overall design are well-received, some users note that the gameplay can become repetitive over time, and there are occasional bugs that disrupt the experience.
- “The gameplay flows smoothly, and it's easy to lose track of time.”
- “The gameplay is fun, can be a little repetitive sometimes, but a good game to pass time for a while until you get to levels that need you to have coins.”
- “The gameplay is easy to get to grips with and it's quite fun designing your own rooms and doing up 'clients' homes.”
- “The gameplay is as bland as it could be; stuff is locked behind premium currency, using gloves costs you real money, you have to wait 4 hours to get paid (unless you pay for instant delivery), and the controls are terrible.”
- “The gameplay loop can get repetitive sometimes and is annoying; you have to wait 4 hours to get your money from a job (unless you use the premium currency, which isn't too hard to get, but if you use it freely, it will quickly run out).”
- “The one major downside is the flipper coin mechanic, which makes it difficult to progress without spending real money.”

- “Great game, works fine, no glitches that I've seen, an all-around good experience.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and repetitive, particularly when it comes to earning flip coins needed for progression. While some enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay experience, others express frustration over the limited ways to earn coins and the necessity to repeatedly complete the same tasks, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. Overall, players suggest that a more varied approach to earning coins could enhance the experience.
- “Playing the same 2 levels to get free flip coins becomes a tedious and boring task, ruining fun.”
- “The customer orders get very costly in flip coins, but the only way of getting coins for free is to either level up (extremely tedious to grind for when you can't do customer orders because, you know, no coins, and have to do the basic level on repeat) or to get achievements, which run out, and a maxed achievement won't even give you half the coins you need for a big order.”
- “It does get tedious grinding the same two 'free' levels over and over again in order to level up to get flip coins so you can unlock new items to either do other levels or decorate homes.”

The music in the game is generally described as soothing and calming, enhancing the relaxing gameplay experience.

Overall, while the background music is appreciated, players often prefer to listen to their own playlists for a more enjoyable experience.
- “It's a really super fun game! I usually don't write reviews for apps or games, but this one is literally one of my favorites. It doesn't have a lot of annoying ads, it's addictive, and you can play music while playing, which I always do. It's a truly perfect experience.”
- “The music is enjoyable and very therapeutic! It creates a calming atmosphere that enhances the overall gameplay.”
- “Very relaxing and the soundtrack is so soothing. It really adds to the experience of the game.”
- “The music is soothing but gets tiresome quickly.”
- “The music, though, is repetitive and drives me mad as it goes on and on, not that it's a very bad thing considering how other players can just listen to other music, but it's just my suggestion.”
- “It's just the music; it gets a bit annoying after a while. If there was like a radio or an MP3 player that the player could buy in-game and some songs, that would be cool.”

- “Exquisite gameplay ensuring smooth performance on every scene.”
- “I appreciate this game because when I play this game on my phone (2GB RAM) it runs smoothly without lagging and any other problems.”

- “But I was admittedly worried it would be struggling with performance on my tablet.”
- “After my last request was actually added, not my doing obviously, I've no real issues other than performance on my underpowered phone.”

Things I love: runs smoothly on older phones, tons of projects, houses, and items to enjoy, a fair microtransaction model (with the starter pack), and hilarious tongue-in-cheek quests.”
replayability

Overall, players express that the game's replayability is limited, primarily due to a lack of diverse mini-games and the repetitive nature of tasks after completing all houses. Many reviewers feel that the current system restricts earning in-game currency, leading to a stagnant experience once initial content is exhausted. Suggestions for improvement include adding more ways to earn currency and opportunities to revisit previously completed houses.
- “Decent replay value, though I wish you could repurchase houses you've already bought and sold.”
- “Good game but needs additional opportunities to earn flipcoins so that the game can be a bit more playable.”
- “It'd be a lot more playable if we could earn coins multiple ways instead of just 2.”
- “The way it stands, there is zero replay value.”
- “It causes everything to halt, especially since there are 1-2 replayable jobs to be played once a day for grinding.”
- “It'd be a lot more playable if we could earn coins multiple ways instead of just 2, which is 1) by completing a house, but once you use those coins earned from that house on another and run low/out, you basically can't do anything else except play the starter houses you've already been through many times that only reward cash.”
