After playing this game for a while- I can't seem to get 5 star votes which is the entire point to game. The game set up and designed so the player is unable to design an attractive room without spending a small amount of real money. So you think ok no big it's only $1.99 n this room will look fab! But soon that $1.99 adds u cause you play it everyday n before long you are like me - stuck playing a game I'm not winning ( getting high scores) and spent $75 in one month....nothing to even show for
Reviews for Design Home™: House Makeover
← Back to Design Home™: House Makeoverunfortunately this game has declined in the last year. The gem items were always a money-grab tactic and I get it, it's a free game. But recently the prices have gone up 20-30% for everything and the art is either ai, recolored & recycled really basic stuff that looks like Clipart, or fair use classic artworks (don't hate this last one, but get a real artist)
At first I thought this game was amazing. And it is, for a beginner. Once you've been playing for awhile it gets boring. Once you have completed all the "My Homes" they don't have any more. And other than getting a small package of some wall and table art for leveling up there are no more perks. Like you still have the same amount of keys as a beginner, you still get the same bonus for logging in daily as a beginner, etc. It doesn't matter if you're level 1 or 101 you're experience is the same.
I enjoy the game Although I'm not happy that they got rid of the "Article " brand 😒 What happened to the videos and offers to get diamonds? Haven't seen them in a while. Some suggestions: 1 is a price range filter, for designers looking for items in a specific price range. 2 is make filters available in the inventory. 3 is ability to "mark" items you don't really like to much. That way those items will be easier to find when the truck comes.
Ya'll keep changing this game to basically force us to purchase diamonds or bundles in order to be any kind of decent at playing. When I first got this, YEARS AGO, it was fun, relaxing, and anyone from any class could play and do well. Now, it's all about diamonds and "new features" that require us to purchase diamonds or bundles to do a challenge. It's no longer relaxing, it's annoying and stressful. Also, ALL your "top designs" are carbon copies, it's SO boring & lame. I don't play much now.
I give this game a 3 star rating. Not because it isn't addicting an actually an awesome game. But in order to really be immersed in the game. you either need to spend money or you have to play A LOT of other games. Otherwise this game is fantastic. Just unfairly geared towards those who can afford to spend actual money instead of hours on sketchy games and even then you aren't always paid out. sometimes errors occur with the way you've downloaded the game etc...
Am addicted to this game and spend way too much time playing it and spending way too much money on it. I do like how I can earn diamonds but wish it was more diamonds at a time. My only complaint is to please make the "prize items" more useful. Most of the prize items are, to put it plainly, ugly. But other than that I absolutely love it. Also, shout out to the support team. It may take a while for them to get back in touch but they always do and are always pretty helpful.
Fun design app but it might be nice if designers on similar levels would compete against each other rather than it being randomized. It's hard for a designer on a lower level to win against someone who has more inventory available. I'd also like some of the prizes to be the "optional" items (wall art, pets, etc.) rather than mandatory items.
This is a pay to score high game. If you don't care about your rating, and only about what you can do with what you have - you'll enjoy this. But it regularly requires purchases to decorate your scenes with more than a couch and table. Additionally, a room with all your purchases will occasionally disappear and if you don't remember the name of the design, you won't get your $ or any of your design pieces back. 😶 Not cool - just another way for the owners to snag your $.
I have been playing this game for years, so clearly I enjoy it. The designs are great and the game is user-friendly. I was enjoying the seasonal challenges but now that the diamond rewards have been removed for all but the two top tiers, it simply isn't worth it. I'd rather complete the daily challenge and have the resources I need than complete several bare rooms a day and I refuse to spend more than I do currently for a "free" game. Mercenary algorithms.
I used to buy the monthly pass. It USED TO HAVE GREAT REWARDS! IT DOESN'T NOW! They completely changed the prizes you get for completing the weekly/monthly challenges. You hardly get ANY DIAMONDS, which, of course, you need to buy any decor & most rugs. It's very frustrating! I usually just buy diamonds now. I wish they would go back to the old format. Overall, it's the best design game, I believe. If one comparable comes out, I will likely stop playing it.
I really enjoy this game even though they set it up to where you have to buy stuff. My issue is they had a system issue that has messed up a portion of my game and I can't get anyone to respond with help. 😡 I bought 2 packages and did not get my items. it's been over a month and they have still not returned my money or given me the items. I provided the proof and they say they are still researching 😔 don't spend any money on this game.
I've been playing this game a lot for about 3 months now and I have really enjoyed it for the most part. I think it could be improved a lot though. The daily reward is insanley low and so it the prize money for submitting designs. Being required to use specific furniture that ranges from $2 - 5,000 or more for a prize of $500 doesn't make any sense. Your star rating doesn't either, I can have 5 4 star and above designs and it will stay the same, but 1 design rated 3 and my rating drops 4 points.
Really enjoy this game...just wish one didn't have to purchase same items more than once...feel like that's a waste of earned cash.. $$ or diamonds 💎. Many of the items are very pricey, therefore, one has to purchase more diamonds to buy items in game. Personally, I think the rewards for design challenges should be way higher, more commiserate with inventory item prices!! Also, the voting has gotten ridiculous! I don't know if the logarithms are jacked or if there are bots that may be voting.
The idea is good, but this is a pay to play game. You can do a few challenges, but then you're basically out of coins and gems after that. Then after a few minutes you get double points for a while. At this point though most of the challenges you can't play. They require very specific, generally costly items that you don't have. You can however get them for real money 😮💨😑😒😕
The game is relaxing and expensive!!! Love that more of a variety has been added. Items are too expensive. Will stop playing due to expensive items. Themes change too often, which requires you to constantly purchase expensive items. I would like more food items for dining rooms. Need more chances to win diamonds. I will not continue to play much longer
I've been playing this game for years. It can become very addicting and has been one of my favorite games, however as of late I am disappointed with the new rating system. If you're not using the new seasonal items to design a room you get low points, even if it was a great design using the same color scheme with items you already own. The developers have gotten greedy as they've made it to where you have to purchase and use the current seasonal items to actually get a decent score.
I love this game! If you like designing rooms and nothing else, this is the game for you!! It's simply designing a room with so many options to choose from by real furniture designers and then voting anonymously on 2 other rooms, picking one you think did the challenge better. Truly an awesome game and I love playing it everyday!!(Sometimes for several hours- it's that good!)
I just started playing this game after being away from it for several years. Now I remember WHY I stopped playing it. I just PAID earlier for a $7.99 bundle, and already I am running into "glitches," or my diamonds and keys are being taken away without you thinking I'd notice. im currently STUCK in a game that has already taken away multiple keys and diamonds when it won't let me enter my design, and I therefore try to leave the screen, and whenI do, it's like it's making me re-enter the game!
My score has lowered in recent times due to voting. Amazing designs from other players have been given low scores, while mediocre ones are 5. something isn't right. And it lowers your average so it's not fair. Not sure what's going on. And now youre required to spend money on items where the lowest price is 3k? on 1/3 required? Game crashes CONSTANTLY. CONSTANTLY. Add friends? forget about it. one crash each look. crashes 3 times on loading. voting. everything. it was fun..
