The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads and high costs of in-app purchases. Players report that ads frequently disrupt gameplay, often failing to provide promised rewards, while the prices for characters and items are deemed excessively high, leading to perceptions of the game as a cash grab. Additionally, issues with ad functionality and the inability to recover in-game purchases further exacerbate dissatisfaction among players.
- “I truly love the game, my only dislike is the outrageous cost of in-app purchases such as ponies (playable characters) and stores (resource producers).”
- “I have felt compelled to make in-app purchases, but the game has such a charm to it that I want to give them my money.”
- “It's pretty fun, I like watching everyone wander around, and decorating the towns is fun, but... man, the microtransactions are pretty bad; technically you can get everything you want without throwing money at the game, but they really want you to.”
- “The monetization for this game is the worst I've seen.”
- “It's a cash grab, one of those pay-to-win games but if you can resist the urge to pay for anything it is fun.”
- “This game is a cash grab taking advantage of MLP fans; the Mane 6 would be disappointed. I do not recommend this game to MLP fans because this game is trying to burn your wallet.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players expressing a strong desire for more variety, particularly songs from the "Equestria Girls" movies beyond the original soundtrack. Users frequently mention glitches where music continues to play after it should have stopped, and some report issues with ads interfering with the gameplay experience. Overall, while the existing music is appreciated, the consensus is that adding more tracks would significantly enhance player engagement and enjoyment.

- “This game is amazing, but there are few songs from Equestria Girls. You have to add the songs from the other movies; it would be even cooler.”
- “It's amazing... I've been playing it since I was a kid, but I really want some new songs and dances and characters in the Equestria Girls mini game, like songs from other movies like Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.”
- “More of a selection would better engage the player compared to listening to the same songs that have been there for some years.”
- “I love this game but when I turn the music off, the music still goes on and I don't like it.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring extensive effort to earn in-game currency and unlock content.

- “It would be great if Feral Interactive or Nekki or any other company owned this game, so we could pay once and play forever. Unlike me, who played once and got tired of grinding and waiting for everything. I used to love this game, but I always hated Gameloft; you guys are a shame!”
- “Fun but tedious. The overall game is fun, but the money you get isn't as much as you need to pay. You need to pay to level up ponies, pay so much for ponies, and the parasprites eat what few gems you get.”
