The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequent and often malfunctioning ads that are necessary for earning in-game currency and rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, they report issues such as ads freezing, not loading, or leading to game crashes, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, players feel that in-game purchases are overpriced, making it difficult to progress without relying heavily on ads, leading to a perception of the game being "pay-to-win."
- “This is one of the more fair games you'll find on the store, in terms of microtransactions.”
- “The best thing in the game is there are no ads at all.”
- “No ads unless you want to watch one to get a reward.”
- “The ads in this game sometimes don't work, I don't know if they did that on purpose for you to buy the ads removal. It's really annoying that I have to restart the game every time the ads don't work, I will feel lazy playing this game in the long run because of that, I hope they will fix this problem.”
- “It's purposely baiting us to subscribe to your 'remove ads' by not loading the ads for us. That's the only free thing that you can do for us but you're not allowing us to watch ads by not loading it.”
- “The game is great, but things and furniture are way overpriced, and also the in-game purchases. The only way to stop the ads is to restart the game.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their cute and vibrant art style, with many users appreciating the customization options and detailed environments. However, there are frequent complaints about performance issues, including lag and overheating on devices, as well as a desire for more adjustable graphic settings to accommodate lower-end devices. Overall, while the visuals are considered appealing, there is a strong call for optimization and improvements to enhance the gaming experience.
- “The graphic design is 10/10, characters are cute, and the pets are probably the best part.”
- “It has a great art style, and the virtual world is really detailed and fun to just look at and hang around in.”
- “The graphics are absolutely amazing 🙂 and may Haegin succeed in the world of gaming with flying colors 😌😊”
- “I love this game, but I find these days I can barely play it because of lag. A year ago I could play it almost flawlessly with 60fps, but every update, especially with the addition of downtown, the game has been so laggy. Even with lower graphics, it's still very laggy. There should be settings for even lower graphics or just optimize the game better.”
- “My phone specs are SD710 with Adreno616, which is considered a mid-high end device, but it still overheats. There's no lower graphic setting, and this app consumes so much RAM space, around 550-800 MB.”
- “The graphics are not too ugly, but on a high-end phone, it is still choppy.”
