The story is generally praised for being engaging and enjoyable without requiring purchases, but many players find progression increasingly difficult and costly, leading to frustration. Numerous users report long waits for new story updates, with some noting glitches, plot inconsistencies, and repetitiveness across similar games. While the narrative is a key attraction, the heavy focus on merging mechanics and lack of fresh content diminish the overall experience for many.
- “The story is pretty good, and you can play without purchasing anything.”
- “Love the game, it's very fun and easy, and the storyline is amazing too.”
- “It was actually good for a basic merge game; the story kept me hooked.”
- “After a few stories are completed, the objectives become more individual and the cost increases dramatically, making the game more tedious as you spend more time merging than playing the story.”
- “Unlocking story items requires baskets, but their availability decreases as the merge completion reward shifts to coins, rendering them useless because you cannot progress in the story.”
- “Even worse, Alex, the guy who looks really good at the start, looked nothing like himself when I played his story, and there was a large plot gap regarding his and Jane's relationship.”

The game's monetization heavily relies on frequent and often intrusive ads, with many users frustrated by ads causing freezes, blocking rewards, and forcing in-app purchases due to high progression costs. While some players appreciate ad-free options and occasional ads for rewards, the overwhelming number and glitches associated with ads significantly detract from the experience. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as aggressive and buggy, leading to negative impacts on gameplay and user satisfaction.
- “It's definitely geared towards in-app purchases despite the varied options to earn for free.”
- “Am enjoying this game, no ads, just fun and interesting, thank you so much for this app, it fills my day.”
- “I did not think that this game is at this level, it surprised me, and the best thing is that there are no ads, it really deserves 4 stars.”
- “Everything gets progressively more and more expensive until you're forced to make in-app purchases just to continue playing.”
- “Love the game, however, I purchased an ad-free subscription and it only worked for a couple of days then started showing ads again.”
- “By your second person to makeover you either have to spend real money to buy gems or spend 95% of your time in game watching ads.”

The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including freezing on startup—especially during the "starter pack" offer—and freezing during gameplay or ads. Many users report being unable to proceed without uninstalling and reinstalling, which risks losing progress. Connectivity appears to exacerbate these freezes, frustrating players despite their enjoyment of the game.
- “Every time I try to open the game, the screen freezes and the starter pack offer appears, but the screen remains frozen no matter how many times I try to click 'x' or anywhere else.”
- “The game keeps freezing on opening, and it can only be played offline. Whenever turning the internet connection on, the game freezes, which is very annoying.”
- “I love this game so much but after playing a lot, the game just freezes and the only thing you can do is uninstall and reinstall the game, but you lose all your progress.”
