Pocket Plants Reviews

update: i have since completed the game. i still have some plants to unlock, but since they hardly ever update the game, i have time. i currently have 1 billion energy. billion with a B, with nothing to spend it on. game gets boring really fast. not much has changed since my last review.

i have had this game for a month or so, and it’s gotten really old really fast. i wanted an app that would motivate me to walk more and make a game out of it. walking in real life does not help PocketPlants out at all. walking IRL maybe contributes to 10% of the gameplay.

i have 52 million energy saved up, but that’s not the walking kind. there is nothing i can spend that energy on. it just sits there, adding up. the energy i do get from walking can get traded at least, for goods. but it makes a small dent in what i need to progress in the game. getting amethyst is incredibly hard. i’m about 5 worlds in and i need 900 amethyst per plant to unlock it. it takes forever to earn that. by that time i do get it, i have earned 10 million energy.

the scale of energy and amethyst is way off. it’s too easy to get energy and too hard to get amethyst. so now i sit, stuck in world 5, needing to unlock 3 plants i’ve already discovered, waiting to save up 2600 amethyst. that’s nearly 150,000 steps in game in order to trade for it. WHYYYYYY?! this game quickly became boring for me. to progress is getting too time consuming and i’m quickly losing interest.

The game is cute. Certainly and I like the little story so far but it kind of feels like the game hasn’t been finished. The quality seems to be a little lacking. It also feels at least for me in a way rushed when ever there is dialogue. It also feels like it isn’t that direct. Like I know what I’m doing when I’m playing but it feels like there is something missing. There are parts that feel like they were thrown in just because you wanted the feature and not because it actually worked with what else was in the game. But I do like the cute little plants and being able to slowly get rid of the poulticing. I feel like with the way this game is set up it could really also be a fun educational game for just anyone about the environment. I don’t know if there are things like that in the game. But it would be super cool.

I want to start by saying I love this game and I haven’t minded spending money on it. However there are some bugs that are so annoying that I’m ready to give up. No matter how many social resident quests are fulfilled I never get the event task rewards. Not ever. This is very upsetting as they tasks always give the highest rewards for these. This needs to be fixed. Second all my level upgrades for the last 12 levels haven’t given me any amethyst gems. None. And sometimes when I fulfill an order that’s supposed to give me a flask it doesn’t give me one sometimes. Any way I wish they’d fix these and then the game would be excellent.

Some parts of the game let you make or speed up progress by spending gems/energy which you can gather by running (the whole point!) but there are several pieces you can only use by watching an ad, which is super annoying - just let me pay for the game and don’t make me watch horrible game ads I have no interest in it time for. The whole point is to use running as the currency, not Mose screen time watching mind-numbing advertising!

I first downloaded this game about 7 ish years ago. It was quite fun and relaxing at first. I did not, not even once went on a walk while playing this game. I was never in a rush. Took me 2-3 years to finish all the planets, upgrades and maxing out the plants. I have well over a million so energy, rubies and gems. I don’t know what to do with it. Since then, it’s just a sitting app in my phone. There’s no new planets and any thing else to do. I can’t delete PocketPlants because of all my hard work. I check in on it every few months.

I would give it a five star if I wouldn’t have to save every time I leave because when I entered back into the game, I lose my progress and have to start all over again and earning things that may not even come back to me because of chance

I absolutely adore this game and have had it quite a few times over the past year or so. It’s very cute and fun, but I do have two issues, the first being that amethysts are SO INCREDIBLY HARD TO GAIN. Energy is easy to keep up on but the amarthysts take forever to gain, at max you get 50 of them from completing an order every six hours. The second major flaw is that whenever I close out of PocketPlants SOME OF MY PLANTS DISAPPEAR! Specifically the ones I plant to complete orders, this happens almost every time I close PocketPlants and it’s very frustrating. Overall I love the game and will keep playing, but would love more to see these issues and bugs fixed

I love this game but after I updated to IOS 15 PocketPlants keeps quitting and not letting me get past the loading page and then just exits out completely. I wanted to delete it and re download it but I don’t want to lose my progress so I’m hoping they’re able to fix it soon I miss de-stressing with my plant buddies!

I love PocketPlants. I think I’ve been playing it for 2-3 weeks now. I love the different characters and versions of each character from the different biomes. I love how it gives rewards for steps from my Apple Watch. I like being able to play with others, but it would be nice to be able to interact more with friends, like maybe visit them and “boost” a few plants a day?

It would also be nice to see from the nursery, which plants we already have grown. I’d also like to be able to sort plants in storage, maybe by biome or even manually. These features would make it 5 stars for me!

I love this game because you can easily unlock all worlds/plants without spending any your real money. It takes time to unlock everything, but it’s possible and moves along smoothly. However, lately I have been losing a lot of data. I will plant my plants for orders, then when I revisit PocketPlants to collect submit my orders, my plants were never planted and I have the same orders. Sometimes it takes me 2 days to complete one order because of the data loss. Because of that, it takes me much longer to unlock plants. Please fix the data loss bug! It happened after the Halloween update!

This is such an amazing game. It is so achieving there’s so many worlds. There is something I do not like about it. You need to like connected to like an Apple Watch or something to get steps. I have a Fitbit myself because Apple watches are very expensive in my opinion so if there’s a way to connect them to certain stuff that would be great overall this is an amazing game.

I love PocketPlants because it works well with Fitbit, but can also count steps from my phone if I prefer (only one of those per day, and I think it resets at midnight, so Keep that in mind). It is not a challenging game, and steps really do work to help you play.

I saw this game on a ad, and I considered downloading it. I saw the ratings and reviews, and I got it. I’m so lucky I got it. This game is in the top 5 favorite things I love to do! It’s so much fun, and is amazing! Even though it was a bit demanding in the start, after that ended, it was awesome! Only bad thing is, the device I play it on can’t track my steps.

I started playing this several years ago, and am finally about to finish the game. Unfortunately, no new worlds have been added in all those years. (The last world has been Witches' Garden ever since I started.)

This game is fun and addictive, the art is beautiful, and I really enjoy being able to help other players and vice versa. However, as there are no new worlds and plants to collect, I will probably be leaving soon.

As another long-time player mentioned, I'll check in every few months or so in hopes there will be an update.

It doesn’t require everyday management and it’s fun to see my steps be useful for something (aside my health ) and I love seeing my Fitbit telling me I’ve hit 10k and jumping right on to cash them out for gems.

You don’t have to log in everyday but I do simply because it’s adorable and fun.
The plants come with these hilarious blurbs and back stories, so be sure to check the info.
It’s a good time killer too.

I’ve been on and off with the game for years simply because I never really had a chance to walk anywhere heavily. While that is not the main component of PocketPlants , it did feel necessary in certain respects. It’s still remarkably relaxing though, and even a bit challenging when trying to grow and discover new seedlings. Would recommend for virtually anyone!

This game is really fun and I love how different in design each plant is! Including how many worlds I get to unlock. Even though I don’t have a Fitbit or an Apple Watch, I can still use my phone itself to track my steps and gain in-game gems and energy. It’s great that it’s not just inclusive to wearable technology! Plus, my plants don’t die or lose their yield if I don’t play the game for a while, which is fantastic! I have even recommended Pocket Plants to my mom who also likes the style of the game. It deserves “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”! Well done! 👍🏽❤️

So i absolutely love this game. The graphics are amazing and the characters are so cute!!! this game literally gave me inspiration and now i cats stop drawing the plants. but when shopping for the dino’s, i saw they were a little pricy money 💰 for a dino. i got one and immediately regretted it. it wasn’t working:( my dino would not change!!! i reloaded it like i don’t know how many times. so i wasted 6.99 dollars on something that didn’t work!!! 😩 but besides that the worlds are so cute and the plants are such a vibe! also the music is slay 💁 so thanku for making this game i luv it 😍😍😍😍

Still tons to unlock for me though sometimes I get disappointed when I have to do quests for a few days to unlock new plants(on days I'm a bit busy and forget to check more than once a day) but the plants are really cute and it's really friendly to free players(tho if I had the money I would totally buy some stuff).

I do kinda wish you could see the alternate faces(like when tap and hold or drag) in like the plant info screen or something(my fat fingers make it hard to see most of them lol).
It's like 3am and I'm sleep deprived but I'm still playing because I'm hoping to have cute plant dreams.

I downloaded this game October of 2021 and its now August 2022 and I’m on world ten and almost unlocked everything. I totally recommend this game because it’s cute you merge plants and they’re adorable. And if your out of resources you go outside and walk around with your phone and then you can convert your steps into energy rubies or amethysts. You can connect it to your Fitbit Apple Watch or phone. There are weekly tasks and events and sales love this game 5 stars.
