Family Farm Seaside Reviews

by WastedMoneyHere

This game will reboot if it has sat idle for a few minutes. This indicates that the game must be connected to THEIR server in order to play. With each upgrade this game developer has released, the game has more and more glitches. Support will blame YOUR device, YOUR network connection and even INSULT your intelligence. Understand this game is not free. You have to purchase game money for many items. This recent game release, a good deal of my game purchases went missing. This review is not being written lightly. It’s only after volleying emails via the game that I decided New Possible Players need to be warned. On your iPad or iPhone you can screen Shot your farm, barn, gallery and ALL the contents, (items you’ve won, and PURCHASED). You need to take the time to protect your purchases with screenshots as evidence because at some point you ARE going to have game problems and support hides behind the pen name of “Felicia”. There is No other way to contact this game developer and report poor game help. They will not provide you with a direct email or snail mail address. The Developer’s responses you see here on Apple App Store is nothing more than an attempt to give you the illusion that you will receive the necessary help.... You WON’T..! You will be brushed aside and treated like your stupid. It is NOT my device Mr. Developers. I have been playing on the NEWEST release iPad PRO.

by Where Is The Real Help

I have been playing this game for a very long time. After all the recent updates and so on, I have been having problems with my farm. Things are coming up missing, green dollars have been missing, and more. Every time I reach out to support, Felicia responds. Even with proper screenshots they still make it seem as if your lying, or it’s your device. I am a daily player and have been since I started playing. No matter what you say, screenshots you upload, they don’t do anything to fix it. It’s always a loss of time and a loss of money. As much effort as people put in with this game, you would think you’ll receive proper help. The responses that are automated makes it seems as if they are willing to help you, but they are not. If you get into this game beware, they won’t help you with any losses. You will have to redo everything. It’s as if you have to screenshot your every move, or get screwed. Then again screenshots has made no changes, so I guess that’s a waste of time as well.

Really upset with this game now! I’ve been playing for 4 years now and never had to pay to play. Now they r charging since this new update. They keep telling me to put my debit card number just to play the game. Guess I won’t b playing anymore considering I will not pay to play when there r hundreds of games that r free. And if it says it won’t charge til u buy something it’s wrong cause it won’t even let me update the game cause it keeps saying my card is declined. I’m not paying to play ur game. Which is to bad cause I played everyday for hours sometimes all day and night. I am a homemaker with severe P.T.S.D. And agoraphobia and insomnia. It is what helps me cope with not being able to leave my home and not being able to sleep! I’m so upset now that my vise is gone. Guess I’ll b moving on to another game then and getting rid of four years worth of work on that game! To bad Family Farm! U lost a true player! Real sad! U say u don’t charge but it’s trying to charge my card! Now it won’t even let me play unless I update but to update I have to pay!!?? I don’t think so!! So I guess this is bye Felicia! It was nice knowing u! And btw I use a prepaid card on this game always have and never had a problem with it so it’s not my card it’s the game!

I was about to start playing this game and decided against it. My mom just paid her hard earned money to buy 50 of something she needed on here and when she cut her game back on they had disappeared. When she logged back on later for more had disappeared other than the 50. My aunt called her and said that some of hers had disappeared as well. What is the point of buying something or working on a game for hours when everything you have worked for or about is going to disappear and you have no hope of getting it back. Plus my aunt is always glitching and they have played this game for months if not a year and I saw my mom about the game over her things disappearing. Especially when she’s never hard-earned money buying it and never even got to use it on the game. I hope you guys have better luck than we did with it.

My mom even tried to write/message the developers and ask them while her stuff disappeared even after she paid for it and she never got a response. Hopefully, like I said you all will have a better experience than we have.

I have been playing this game from the beginning and no you do not get a real person too help you. I lost my game after they told me to logout of the game. It was no longer my game some other game came up. All they could say what level, farm ID # name of the farm. I told them I did not know because it was gone it took my whole game. I had everything, I spent my money too get the extra. This game I played everyday all day, I am disable and this game became very important too me after I was unable too work anymore and have to be in bed all the time. But all that say to me is name of the farm, farm ID #, what level, how much RC. I do not have that information because it was lose do too them telling me too log out. I play the game was was not looking for that information I work a ticket with the loss game but they can not find anything, but there is one of them with with the name I said but it is being used or was a high level. I would say do not play they tell you to do one thing and when you game is gone because of what they say oh well that’s your problem not theirs.

I like the game but y’all please do some about your growing times. An hour or two I can understand but 15 hours for tomato’s is extremely too long. Also how do you make me do missions where you have to buy trees and machines with RC cash but don’t have any ways to make or get RC cash? I have a mission to buy a tree go to the store it’s 15 RC cash. But you don’t give us or even let us get ways to get RC cash. So you want me to spend real cash just to get RC cash just to buy a tree just to pass a mission. That’s not fair to your customers that are on fixed income and can’t afford to just throw away money on a game. You all are wrong and money hungry and took the joys out of a game for greed. Sad thing about it. I’ve read other review and people have been complaining about this same problem for 3 or 4 years now and you all haven’t changed a thing. So apparently you don’t listen to your customers. Fine I will just play other farm games where you don’t have to pay real cash unless you want to.

I lost my game do you my ipad crashing without warning just black screen so no way of getting any of my information back much less my game . I sent a description of what happened to tech support and I got an automated response saying thanks for contacting use will will contact you in 24 hours two days later I get another automated response saying we haven’t heard from you in 24 hours so we’re guessing your problem was resolved. I spent several hundred dollars in cash playing this game to get absolutely no help in retrieving it to put on my new device. I must say I was stupid for ever spending money because everytime I had even a simple question I got less then nothing helpful so it would figure when I lost my game they wouldn’t care . Moral to my story they are only in this to steal your money and care nothing about their customers. I absolutely loved this game but I will never play it again do to bad business practices.

I have played this game for 7years. Ever since an update released around Nov 2020, there has been a huge problem with many farms being lost to hackers. At first, they were just taking over inactive farms but in the past months have started taking active farms. It is happening on all platforms and appears to have nothing to do with being linked (or not) to Facebook or GameCenter. The corporate ownership and/or developers of Family Farm Seaside do not seem interested in fixing whatever is allowing these thefts to take place. They routinely blame the victims, dedicated players of their game, for the problem. They will, if pressured, return ownership of the hacked farms to their rightful owners but not in pre-hacked state so many hard-earned decorations and resources are missing. In the meantime, they continue to develop the game, adding new features, without trying to locate and repair whatever security flaws might exist to allow the proliferation of hackers. This, to me, shows a complete disregard for their customer base. I enjoy the game itself but am completely disillusioned by the developers who are allowing the serious security issue of vulnerability of their customer‘s farms to continue for over a year.

I really like this game, a lot. Only thing that makes it not worth playing after awhile is needing fake game dollars to do things. &&& you only get one each tome you level up. But when you need 8 of them to finish a machine that you need to continue with the game you literally can’t go any further. Example: I have been trying to make the cake house for four days. But since I cannot finish 5 “quests” because I don’t have it I cannot level up. I don’t and won’t pay money to buy money for a game. I get it. Companies need money too. But there has to be a level ground to where the madness ends. So now I’m stuck and the urge to play has diminished. But of course, no one cares that makes FamilyFarmSeaside because there are enough dumb people elsewhere that pays 50$ a month to buy fake money for an app that means nothing to real life. So thank you for that.

I enjoy playing this game a lot, but my biggest issue is that the game takes a long time to upload, this is the only game I have that issue with therefore is not my phone or internet is the game. Because it takes so long to upload Im not able to do a quick play if I have 10 minutes of free time to play because sometimes it takes 10 minutes to upload, it makes me feel like I’m playing a game from 1990. Also since they created the community the amount of tasks you need to do at the same time it’s kind of ridiculous and imposible, yes imposible because I would have to use more than $20 a week to finish all of the activities because everything in this game is SUPER expensive. I wouldn’t mind spending some money in the game, but like I said everything is too expensive. We need more power to be able to do community tasks plus the multiple activities you put at the same time. I can spend the 35 powers I get in 2 minutes and not even be half way with all of the tasks. Maybe the developers need to be less greedy and make things less ridiculous and affordable to get players happy. Happy players = more money $$$

The game is cute and looked fun. I was having some fun with it to begin with and was surprised how quick the goods take to produce. But I quickly realized why the goods are made quickly. The crops take FOREVER to grow. Hope you weren't needing that wheat because its gonna take six hours! Others take four hours, two hours. The lowest time for a crop that I saw was the clovers which take thirty minutes. I come from games like FarmVille and Township where wheat, corn (the basic crops) take 1-5 minutes to produce. So maybe I'm spoiled that way. But the basic crop shouldnt take 30 minutes to grow. Sure you get free fertilizer but only up until you reach level 10 then you're on your own and have to wait those long wait times for your crops. It had potential, but after seeing such long wait times I knew that I wouldn't be able to do anything with this game for more than a second, twice a day. Uninstalled.

I’d say I’ve been playing this game for a while, I’ve been playing it since middle school on and off and every time I come back to it there’s always something new being added, I appreciate how active the developers are in adding new features for those who are both low and high levels, it keeps the game interesting. The visuals are stunning and I haven’t come across any glitches, this is a great game to play as a way to pass time and I’ve fallen in love with it over the years.
My only issue is that a lot of the trees and machines have to be built or bought with In-game currency and as much as I’d like to support the development I don’t actually have the funds to at the time and I’m sure many others don’t, but you don’t find a lot of opportunities to actually get this currency, you only get one every time you level up, which is hard to work with when some missions require a banana tree that I don’t have enough funds for and I find that very irritating but, don’t let that stop you from enjoying the game! There’s a lot more to discover on your own and although I have my differences I still very much enjoy this game

I’ve been a Family Farm Seaside player for 3 full years, as of this August (2020), and I can honestly say that’s wonderful for a game developer because it’s super hard to keep my attention. Playing the game is pretty effortless without the in-app purchases, so long as your patience. Unlike FarmVille, which I was a loyal player from its release until roughly 2014-ish, the crops don’t wither, there aren’t endless tasks and it’s manageable with only 30 minutes to a hour of your time, and there’s constantly new side missions that earn you rewards that otherwise would end up being an in-app purchase. Everyone there’s maintenance, a holiday, or a server issue, the game rewards you. I absolutely love this game, it was a great replacement for FarmVille (both versions), and after 2 full years, I did start to in-app purchase every month or so. Basically I just took the money I’d be spending on my Xbox and spent it on something I play more often.

Don’t get me wrong this game is amazing but there are two major problems I have. number one is the crops, I love how they try to match the timing with how long it would normally take to grow the crops but at this point, it's just really annoying especially when you need your crops but you have to wait like 7 hours or when you need to get crops for a quest or for your animals. Second is the RC this is the most annoying part basically EVERYTHING cost RC and I mean everything it's so annoying don’t even get me started with a machines you can start off by asking your neighbors for the items you need but when you get to the last one you need 3-10 RC and I takes forever to get rc and I don’t even know where to start with the prices for the rc you’re telling me I have to pay 4$ just for 12 rc? and they still have the audacity to put only 750 RC for 100$... That's just crazy but over all this game is amazing and keep it up!<3

I’ve been playing this game over a year and I must say that it is very addicting. It’s like my go to when I’m feeling stressed or just want to tune someone out. First thing is when I awake I always grab my pad and play this before even starting my day out.

I’m seeing a lot of reviews that are not that great but I’m not sure why because I really haven’t had any issues. The one issue I did have the customer service team was able to help get the issue resolved.

So yes the game refreshes if it’s sitting idle for sometime. That’s no big deal.

No you don’t need to put any type of card info into just to play this. Yes sometimes you do have to spend real $$$$ for certain things to complete levels. In over a year I’ve spent about $500. I mean I work hard for my money and have a great paying job so I can afford to dump $$$ like that. We all spend $$$ on unnecessary things that we don’t need. You just have to be wise and choose what you want to dump your extra $$$ on. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO SPEND $$$$ into this game. Some people just need something to complain about or their life isn’t satisfied.

I play this game on my iPad everyday and I am really enjoying it. I used to play the PC version, but this mobile version has a lot for features. There are so many ways to earn great rewards, and I am completely addicted. But, when you click on a goal or mission or whatever you call it, it shows the steps of the goal of the one above it. Confusing, right? Let me give you an example.

Example: I have a two goals to complete. One for harvesting 8 apples, and one for making 3 Mac and Cheese. The Mac and cheese one is on top of the apple one. When I click the apple one, it shows me the Mac and cheese goal. With that being said, I cannot view the apple goal. I ask you to please fix this bug. Thanks

This game is really fun but, there are some serious problems with FamilyFarmSeaside . Game offers double RC for first time purchase. Did that. The RC amount was fine after purchase, then it went down by half when game was reloaded. Contacted “help” but still hasn’t been fixed. Then out of nowhere the game screen loaded much larger than my phone screen. Cannot see the whole game and cannot close windows. Tried deleting and reloading game but didn’t do anything. Contacted “help” again but still no fix. Don’t spend money on this game, real disappointment.

UPDATE - After contacting support in the “help” tab, they finally resolved the issue. Really fun game and I don’t mind paying since it takes time and effort to maintain these complicated apps.

I love the game itself. Every time I get a new phone, this is the game that I end up downloading again. Literally every time. I’ve been playing for years (never made it past level 50, but that’s because I break my phone pretty often).

I love it because, there’s never any actual need to buy things. It makes the game go by faster or a little bit easier, but anything that is necessary for the game play is free. I purchase RC when I feel like it, but never because I need it to continue playing the game.

You don’t HAVE to complete the missions. You can just decide to plant what you want, sell you want, and decorate how you want. There’s plenty of things to do, and also plenty of free reign.

I do like the idea of being able to move my animals and machines around a bit more freely, but I’m having fun regardless of all that.

One problem I’ve been having recently is with batch productions. I’ll use OP to complete things while I’m away, but when I come back and click on it, it’ll give me my OP and ingredients back instead of completing it. It doesn’t happen often, but enough that I wanted to bring it up.

I still love the game. 5/5 for me.

For example all my coffee house guests have been maxed out at level 150 for months so there’s no incentive to fulfill their requests anymore since I get no prize boxes. And I have over 9000 boat ticket things that I literally can’t spend on anything else bc I’ve bought every boat customization thing and maxed out everything else that appears in the boat ticket store. And you got rid of the “I’m looking for something specific” function of visiting neighbors’ shops a while ago which was a great feature!! Pls bring it back!

I play this game for at least an hour every day, often more. Love it but want some updates for late game players as mentioned before. Maybe I can use excess boat tickets to purchase old decorations from past events from the gallery, like I do with my excess blue mystrons?

If you want to play this game 30 min a day, you can, if you want to play all day, you can.
The in game connection and chat with the community and neighbors is an awesome feature. The visuals are so cute and people who love to decorate their farms, like me 😍 never fet bored. I play both on my iPhone and on my pc in Bluestacks and never have a problem with bugs so far. The 9 months I am playing this game made me addicted totally. Yes there is stuff to be payed with real cash but I gladly support and the friendship flowers are a great way for us to help those who can’t afford get some RC.
The quests and events are going continuous so always something to look forward too. Most importantly the devs actually listen to their players ❤️
Wish I could give 10 stars!
