The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive requirement of watching 10 ads to earn just 1 diamond, which many find frustrating and unbalanced. While players can earn diamonds through gameplay and daily rewards, the overall consensus is that the game heavily pushes in-app purchases, making it difficult to progress without spending real money. Many reviewers suggest that the ad-to-diamond ratio should be improved to enhance the gaming experience.
“I don't mind in-app purchases if it helps me advance quicker, but I don't like feeling pressured into buying them.”
“I love this game so much and when you're bored just play this game; there are no ads at all.”
“I love this game and there are no ads; you can upgrade and take care of your pets, and you can also do many tasks and get baby animals.”
“You have to watch 10 ads to get 1 diamond, which is ridiculous considering how many diamonds you need for upgrades.”
“It's hard saving money in this game, plus the in-app purchases for gems are expensive. I can't afford to get them if I wanted to.”
“Watching 10 ads for just 1 diamond is a waste of time, especially when you need hundreds to progress in the game.”

The game's story is engaging and features a variety of quests that keep players entertained, but many users express frustration over the heavy reliance on diamonds for progression. As players advance, they find that most quests require significant amounts of diamonds, which are difficult to earn without spending real money, leading to a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. While the graphics and overall concept are praised, the monetization strategy surrounding quest completion detracts from the enjoyment of the storyline.
“I really enjoy this game, but I feel it's way too difficult to earn diamonds, especially considering once you get to a decent level, so many quests require you to spend them. I've played this game for a long time and I'm at a point where all of my quests require diamonds.”
“The graphics are great, the story is cute, and the collections are fun. I love all the cute animals and multiple characters with an amazing storyline.”
“I love this game! It's a very beautiful story and the animals are really cute. The storyline is entertaining, and there are loads of storylines and challenges to keep you entertained.”
“It's a great game but things are still pretty expensive so unless you get lucky with cards you're not going to be able to complete the quests on time.”
“I really liked this game at first but it has become increasingly difficult to play since almost every quest I have is to place animals or other items that cost ridiculously high amounts of diamonds.”
“The major issue is that I've never played a freemium game where sooooo many quests require premium currency (every quest I currently have) while at the same time being super stingy with doling out premium currency.”

“The graphics are beautiful, the variety of animals are great and it's just damn lovely!”
“The graphics are excellent and I like how it's way more interactive and customizable compared to your average zoo/theme park game.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that disrupt gameplay. While some players enjoy the game and find it fun, the overwhelming number of technical problems, including lost progress and unresponsive controls, detracts from the overall experience. Despite occasional updates that aim to fix these issues, many users still express frustration over the game's instability.
“It's one of my favorite games; no glitches, barely any ads, and the number one it is super fun. I recommend this game 24/7.”
“Awesome game, no glitches, doesn't lag, has fun animals and big land, and you can do what you want even when something is getting built. You can decorate or help friends.”
“It is great; the animals interact, and there's no glitches at all.”
“While I do love this game, the fact that it glitches and I have to restart it at least once or twice every time I use it makes it hard to give it 5 stars.”
“The game is fun but it's got one major issue: it constantly freezes up and says connecting, and I mean constantly. Fix this major glitch in your game and then it would be worthy of 5 stars.”
“I love this game but I had to uninstall it because it keeps crashing. I try playing the game, then it freezes and quits.”

Players consistently find the grinding aspect of the game to be slow, tedious, and often frustrating, particularly due to the difficulty in earning gems needed for progression. Many reviews highlight that the repetitive nature of tasks and the high costs associated with advancing in the game lead to a sense of stagnation, making it feel like a cash grab. While some enjoy the game at a leisurely pace, the overall sentiment leans towards the grinding experience being overly burdensome and detracting from the fun.
“There are a lot of quests that cannot be fulfilled without gems, which are extremely slow, tedious, and difficult to earn for free in-game. They cost a lot of real money if you want to buy them.”
“It's a good game and I enjoy it, but earning money is such a tedious task and takes forever that I can hardly do things.”
“Starts out fun but gets tedious and boring. Everything costs diamonds, which are hard to get and expensive. Breeding animals is ridiculously hard, taking 5 or 6 attempts to breed one, which requires a lot of money. Land prices go up to tons of money or diamonds, and most animals cost diamonds. This is a money-hungry game; if you don't want to spend tons of money, then don't even waste your time on it.”

Players feel that the lack of a system to exchange cash or points for diamonds limits the game's replayability, as it creates a reliance on real money purchases rather than allowing for in-game currency flexibility. This restriction can hinder enjoyment and progression at higher levels.
“If we can exchange diamonds for cash/points, why can we not exchange cash/points for diamonds? This would make the game more playable as you progress through the levels; otherwise, it feels like we're being forced to buy diamonds with real money.”
“The lack of meaningful choices in the game makes replaying it feel pointless. Once you've experienced the story once, there's little incentive to go back.”
“After completing the game, I found that there was no real reason to replay it. The lack of different endings or significant changes in gameplay makes it feel like a one-time experience.”
