The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its excessive reliance on ads and high subscription fees, with many players expressing frustration over the inability to remove ads without committing to costly weekly or yearly subscriptions. Users have suggested alternatives such as one-time payments to disable ads or more reasonable in-app purchases, as the current model feels like a cash grab that detracts from the overall gaming experience. While some players tolerate the ads, many feel they disrupt the game's relaxing nature and limit access to content, leading to a generally negative perception of the monetization approach.
“I understand in-app purchases are needed to keep the app running.”
“Absolutely wonderful game definitely worth the download and considering making in-app purchases, keep it up guys this is mobile apps done right.”
“No ads, easy and fun to play, definitely recommend.”
“The ads are annoying and majorly take away from the relaxation of the game.”
“It's fun and relaxing and by all rights should get 5 stars... except the only way to remove ads or get additional colors and features is to subscribe for either $6/week or $100/year.”
“The only real purpose it serves is to force players into watching ads which could otherwise be avoided if Wi-Fi was turned off.”

The game's story aspect is heavily criticized due to its reliance on a subscription model that locks essential patterns and colors behind a paywall, making it nearly impossible for players to progress in quests without paying. Many users express frustration over being unable to complete quests they previously enjoyed, as recent updates have restricted access to previously available content, leading to a sense of unfairness and disappointment. Overall, while the quests are seen as engaging and challenging, the monetization strategy detracts significantly from the overall experience.
“The quests are fun and you can get coins easily!”
“It's very relaxing, fun, creative, and the quests are entertaining and challenging.”
“I love how you can see other people's pots and comment and like them, you can gain money by doing quests and it's a fun relaxing game.”
“The game requires you to pay the subscription to get past quests after a certain point, which is entirely unacceptable.”
“I was loving this game until I logged in tonight because suddenly half the patterns I owned became premium and now I'm stuck on a quest that I cannot ever complete because of this and 15 bucks a month is just absolutely ridiculous.”
“I deleted the game after reaching a point where the quests *all* required premium patterns or colors.”

Overall, the graphics of the game have received positive feedback, with many users praising their quality, detail, and improvements over the original version. Players appreciate the vibrant colors, textures, and the relaxing visual experience, although some express disappointment over the limited customization options and the impact on device battery life. While the graphics are generally considered excellent, there are concerns about the game's monetization model and the repetitiveness of gameplay.
“The graphics are amazing and the feature of laying patterns on patterns really makes custom patterns a thing.”
“Beautiful graphics and a zen environment.”
“Graphics are nice and minimalistic with a modern clutter-free UI.”
“The graphic quality is better than the original game, but not enough colors, patterns, textures, etc. The worst part is not being able to shape the clay the way you want to, which quickly becomes repetitive and boring.”
“There is no way the makers of this game need $15 to create more graphics for a pottery game.”
“Worst, I didn't like the controls. The graphics were good enough, but the overall performance wasn't good enough to get a good rating on the Play Store, just my thinking though!”

Many users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the slow leveling process and the high costs associated with in-app subscriptions. Players express dissatisfaction with the limited tasks available and the steep paywalls that restrict access to content, making it difficult to progress without spending money. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as overly burdensome, especially for those who prefer not to pay for additional features.
“Only 1 task every 3 hours makes it extremely tedious and boring after a while.”
“My only complaint is once you reach level 5, getting to level 6 is almost impossible; the leveling should be a bit easier than having to sell like 500 pots or so, which makes it tedious to do.”
“Most of the stuff is locked behind a steep paywall which no amount of grinding can unlock.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing and enjoyable qualities, enhancing the overall experience of pottery-making. However, users express frustration with intrusive ad music that disrupts their enjoyment and leads to technical issues, such as losing progress after reinstalling the app. Overall, while the game's original soundtrack is well-received, the presence of ads detracts from the experience.
“There is relaxing birds' songs and realistic potteries.”
“It's not like Call of Duty; it's so relaxing and peaceful music.”
“To me, making the pots is very nice because of the background and the music that is played with it.”
“The fact that ads play automatically with sound is incredibly annoying and it stops my music from playing.”
“It was great until it wasn't. I had a glitch where an ad's music continued playing no matter what, so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, but I lost everything I'd had except the pots. I lost all the colors and the patterns, and I sold all my pots which wasn't enough to buy everything back. I tried reinstalling again just to see, and I lost all the money, so I gave up on it. There's no way that I was able to find to talk to support either.”
“It's not like Call of Duty; it's so relaxing and peaceful.”
