Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story Positive Reviews

Some mistakes but overall a fun game.This game was pretty fun to play. What surprised me the most was that it didn’t have many add. It’s very detailed and the story is very interesting.😁👍 HOWEVER it seems that the energy runs out VERY VERY quickly each ingredient takes 1 energy and I usually depend on energy potions so I get a little of energy. Each energy potion is just 40 for me and what’s enough for a whole day is 200+ so I can’t serve that many people meaning that I can’t continue the story and I have to wait a while to recharge my energy and since I’m impatient (one of my weaknesses) I can’t really handle the waiting since I need 200+ I have to wait 200+ minutes which is 3 hours I get really stressed and since this is one of my main games right now (in fact my only one) I don’t know what to do and I can’t install more games because my storage is low. 😭Overall A VERY FUN GAME!! 🤩🤌 just needs a tiny bit to become perfect. All I’m asking for is more energy for 1 minutes at least 3 is enough. ☺️🫰.I like this game it soo fun :DVersion: 3.35.0

Game is pretty great except..Except for when they have the card collection event because their algorithm doesn’t work correctly. They keep trying to explain it to me as if I don’t understand even though I provide them with plenty of proof to show that it’s consuming 101 stars EVEN though I have enough cards with stars to make it an even 100 stars to receive a gift. It’s frustrating when you have enough to get 3 gifts yet you can’t because of this issue. I wish I could provide screenshots to show everyone EXACTLY what I mean. The story also started off great but as you progress further and further the attention to detail really falls off. Constant grammar issues as well as missing context for certain scenes. But don’t worry they just want you to tell them exactly what’s wrong with it instead of doing their job and fixing/ figuring it out themselves, even though you provide them with screen shots of these issues. Where is the quality assurance with this game?? Really frustrated with this because it’s a bunch of little things that pile up over time. I just want them to actually care about the app and show it in their work and caring for the consumers who play this game by providing bug fixes instead of adding a new theme. Send out a gift even to all players who’ve been playing this game as a way of saying sorry about this bug instead of gaslighting their clients into thinking they don’t know how to add numbers together..ZepholoseVersion: 3.51.0

Pure HonestySo obviously this game isn’t at all like what the adds say, even the previews are misleading until the last three or so. With that being said, I downloaded it under the impression the game was what was being shown in the adds, and to my frustration, it clearly wasn’t. However it is still a good game, I came for one game and ended up staying for another. It’s pretty fun and i’ve had this game for a while now. The plot so far is good, it has good story building so far, however there are some downsides again. One, you won’t really excel at this game unless you give in and pay up, I have yet to spend money but if you don’t you just spend a lot of time waiting, whether it be for more energy or a lot of other stuff. Second, whenever it has those events for a themed space, it’s really unfair how much time they give you, especially for those that can’t spend money on this game. You can only really complete it if you spend every waking hour playing it AND spend money on it. And worst of all, the time frame is the only chance you get, there’s no coming back to it or nothing so you’re just left with a half empty done lot because you either A. didn’t have enough time and or B. have enough money. I’m still salty about being misled and all of the obvious money grabs but I still play it for now, this review was to provide some insight for everyone else. ☺️.KikitinyVersion: 3.51.5

Fun but a bit annoyingI enjoy this for the most part, even though the storyline is a bit ridiculous and I can only play it for about 10 minutes before running out of energy because the orders are almost all impossible to fill in 1 try as you advance, but I really get annoyed at the side events that are offered to help you gain prizes. One day I decided I really wanted to finish a side event before it expired and I wound up spending $40 on additional energy and gems, but it was impossible to complete because after I reached level 2 (out of 3 levels) every fish caught was a duplicate, for which I received a measly 10 coins. So now I absolutely refuse to spend money on these events. Once the very first order to fulfill a side event would have required a minimum of 600 and possibly as much as 1,000 energy, since I needed a complicated potato dish and the cart gave me over 100 energy in bread before it gave me even 1 sliced potato. And besides the potato dish I needed a shell that would have required 64 energy to get. There were less than 2 hours to fill that first order, so needless to say I didn’t even attempt to do that event. If you don’t mind spending money every time you play in order to get more than 10-15 minutes game play every 3-4 hours, then this is a fun game..EquuscycleVersion: 3.49.0

Addicting but hard to advance without spending moneyFirst off, the ads for Gossip Harbor are NOT consistent with the game. But nonetheless, Gossip Harbor is an incredibly addicting and low stress game. But as you advance in the game, it gets harder and harder to continue without spending money. You use “energy” to match items which build up to the final item that the customer is asking for. You can only accumulate a maximum of 100 energy, and you get 1 energy every 2 minutes. So it takes 200 minutes (over 3 hours) to accumulate all that. As you level up, the items become more “complicated.” For example, you need two cups of tea to make a glass of iced tea. You need two glasses of iced tea to make a mason jar of iced tea. And you need two mason jars of iced tea to make the final pitcher of iced tea. That means you need 40 energy to make the pitcher. But some items require more iterations, so you would need easily 200 or more energy. You can’t move forward in the game until you make enough customer items for coins. So then there are packs you can pay for energy and jewels (which buy you energy or items so you don’t need to use energy). The packs are usually between $1-4, so not much at first. But you can easily spend a large amount in a week depending on how impatient you are..Bonbons23685775Version: 3.41.0

Good needs minor changesI have tried several merge games and this is one of two that I really enjoy enough to log into daily to play. Visually, the play board is nice and the story is not horrible and is easy to skip through if you want to. However, it gets extremely frustrating to work towards one order for several weeks because most sources will release 6-10 items then need to recharge for an hour. I play to relax at night or on a lunch break so I’m not going to log on again an hour later when the source is reloaded. At level 22 I’m often not able to fill any orders because all 4-5 customer require items from the very limited sources. I purchased a promo package that awards rare items for filling orders and I can’t ever fulfill the daily challenge because there aren’t enough orders that don’t require extremely limited items (like level 10 shells that take 2 weeks to fill). It’s also frustrating to have the play board constantly cluttered with rare items that will take weeks to get the pieces to merge to create a finished source (beach baskets for example) I have started looking for other games to switch to because of this but otherwise this could have been a super fun game..JJJ5467543Version: 3.7.0

Fun, but limited playing time.Hi! I’ve had this game for a while, and it’s enjoyable to play, but only for around 15mins per use. The game has a concept of earning coins to pay to continue to the next mission. In order to get coins, you must play a mini-game and merge items to make dishes and serve people. Here’s where I find the issue with Gossip Harbor, the game has an icon that is a lightning bolt which stands for your energy. In order to produce an ingredient or item, you must use up a lighting bolt, therefore constantly using energy. When your energy is out, and you can no longer continue with the mini-game without paying real cash, you may be able to speak to one or two people to complete the next task, but then what? It takes a minute to be able to produce an ingredient leaving me waiting over an hour to be able to do anything in the game again. I don’t understand. Why would the developers limit people’s playing time on their game? Gossip Harbor does indeed have no ads, which is beneficial, but at what cost is it worth if you are only playing the game for 15mins?.CassidytruthlordVersion: 3.13.0

Fun!Updated review: Thanks for the response. I very much enjoy the story and the gameplay. If you enjoy some calm merging and a cute story, I definitely recommend this one. I’ve played quite a few merge games and this one is quite enjoyable. I’m leaving my previous review in case anyone else comes across the same issue and wants to see how to turn the feature off. There was a new update where the items produce higher level things but consume more energy. I do not want to spend 4 energy on one click. But there is no way to turn that off that I see, and the game “tutorial” doesn’t allow you to not follow the tutorial instructions. So you have no choice but to end up spending 4 energy to get one item. I enjoyed spending 10-15 minutes tapping and merging. Now I spend less than 5 because the energy is gone so fat. It’s a cute game with a cute story line, and I’ll update my review if they change this new feature to allow for you to turn it off and on..GFox5Version: 3.32.0

Best game ever!!!!I have been playing this game for a couple months now, and i never get bored of it. Most merge games make you watch so many ads, or they just take forever. This one gives you good amount of energy at first and really only takes a hour or so to get 100 energy again which you can go eat or clean or anything. You could watch a quick ad for some energy or spend your gems, which isn’t a issue because you do get a good amount of gems here and there. The challenges are so fun and pretty easy, and the variety of things you can merge and create is nice. altogether the game is great, but the only downside is the decoration. It’s very tacky and hard to kind of match all around the cafe, but it doesn’t bother me as much. the story line is amazing and i don’t mind spending money on this game to get a few more goodies. The game is fun and unique. definitely worth the time i have put into it!!! i’m addicted to it, the more you play the more stuff you unlock and reveal..Kittens1110Version: 3.4.0

Love this gameI love playing mobile games, but of course any free games either comes with ads or makes progress impossible without paying for extra power ups or lives. With this game your “life” adds 1 every two minutes so when you come back from work or a chore you constantly are able to do progress bit by bit. I do spend money for the monthly passes on this game exc but it’s the only add free game that I love to come back to constantly for months now to pass a bit of time. I think the feeling of not having specific levels to go through but rather different stories and conversations and decorations makes it feel a lot less pressure. 10/10 game no pressure just a good game if you like organizing, decorating, and completing orders throughout your day. If you were to spend no money on this game I feel like you can still progress unlike many other games. Genuinely love it! Worth it and when I buy extras it feels good too..ApollonoelhVersion: 3.49.0

It’s good but I have a complaint. Please read this!!!It’s good but might recommend something. First off, I would like to say that this game is really good if you are bored. But I saw this game on an ad, and it was very deceiving because the ad looked way different than what I saw on the game. Please STOP 🛑 putting fake ads and deceiving people because it’s getting really boring. And also, in the ad, it shows a homeless girl and gets adopted by a poor woman. They go to a house and the person/hand controlling how to fix the house or controlling what they decide to do to fix the house always makes the wrong choice which gets on my nerves. WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE TAPE THAN A DOOR TO PREVENT THE COLD?! Stupidity. So back to the game. Why do I have to wait 2 minutes just to get 1 more energy?! That’s not fair?!?! I would recommend you change this to at least 15-20 seconds 5 seconds is even the best. That’s what makes the games fun!!!!!!! Goodbye..HannahLudienVersion: 3.11.0

Silly Story but Fun if you don’t spend too much MoneyIn the beginning, gaining energy and gems was easy. I thought too easy, and as the game progressed, those gains are harder to achieve. I’m having fun with decorating the sets, especially after learning you can hold your finger on a chosen item and have the ability to change it. I will pay for the VIP Pass because you get nice rewards. I have never reached the end, though. I lost my head and spent a bit of money to win an event. I was on the last segment with almost 2 days to go, but suddenly the accrual of points (coming at a slow but steady pace) just stopped, then picked up again when there was 6 hours left to go….not enough time to begin to win. I learned that I will stick to the occasional VIP Pass. The waste of money hurt, and I won’t do that ever again. Otherwise, I like this game. It becomes slow over time because it’s harder to fill orders, but it’s interesting to see the silly story unfold and decorate this little world..Kimberly ShopperVersion: 3.41.0

It’s fun but I have complaintsI got this game about a month ago and I have to admit that I’m loving it, it has a complex but I simple story and it’s not impossible. But on thing I will say is your ads are fake, there’s a lot of different games like this though so I won’t criticize that much I would just appreciate it if you would be honest with your ads. I also appreciate how it’s not one of those pay to win games, you get 100 energy and you ahead to wait a minute for each, seems fair to me, you can buy some with gems to and you can actually buy gems. But the thing that impresses me the most is that you can actually get a fair amount of gems for free, and the characters are really likable. It’s pretty much a good game but I jus have one more complaint. The decoration style is good but it’s for one certain color and sometimes it could look tacky, now there is ways to make it look good but that’s all I wanted to say, it still is a really good game so I suggest you check it out.Misty_Midnight_Feathers🪶Version: 2.7.5

My Favorite Merge GameI’ve been around the block with merge games. I’ve played everything from Merge Mansion to smaller merge games. This one has a completely different feel. The storyline is interesting (I usually ignore the storyline on other games because they are so boring.) I love the characters and their interactions. I’ve seen people complain about how long it takes to get what you need. Honestly, it isn’t that bad. You can normally get what you need in about 2 energy refills. On another merge game I was trying to get an object for a month straight due to how rare the item was. This game isn't that bad in that aspect. I personally like the challenge of getting items. Energy does go down fast, but there are chances to watch an ad or spend diamonds for a refill. Diamonds are pretty easy to get compared to other merge games. Overall, I don’t think you could go wrong by giving Gossip Harbor a try!.Chyna RayneVersion: 2.7.5

Average Merge Game / Annoying StoryI play a lot of merge games and this one is just average. It started out ok. The board and graphics are nice, you could fill a number of orders on the 100 energy you get and could level up pretty consistently. As would be expected the orders get more complex as you progress, but I believe the amount of product needed to fill orders becomes increasingly impossible to do in a reasonable amount of time. The limited energy, highly complex orders, the meager rewards for each filled order makes leveling up excruciatingly long unless you spend money. I’m not opposed to spending a little but you don’t get much for what you spend compared to other games. In regards to the storyline - that is just ridiculous and annoying. The lead charter is completely unappealing- whiny, dim-witted and wishy washy. How can she be in a love triangle? Supposedly has great detective skills but can’t pick up on obvious clues. I just fast forward and skip. Other merge games have better stories that are actually interesting..Asphodel 34Version: 3.51.0

Fun gameUpdate: I am still enjoying the merge part of the game but I have to say that the storyline is getting annoying. There are so many grammar issues and not to mention whoever is writing the storyline keeps mixing things up. First it was Quinn’s dad who poisoned his clients, and then suddenly he isn’t even mentioned anymore and it switches to being the ex-husband (who was actually a fiancé in the earlier chapters) who was being investigated for the poisoning. Who knows what is going on at this point? But it detracts from the game in my opinion. I really enjoy this game. There aren’t annoying ads, there is a storyline that is interesting and fun merges. The only downside to this game is when you work to fill orders to collect coins and all you get is a conversation from it. 150 coins for a conversation is way to much. Most of the time when it takes that many coins there is no action to be done. Those high coin transactions should be saved for actions not conversations..TlynpittsVersion: 3.2.0

It’s alright.It’s a cute enough merge game. I feel like I’ve tried every merge game on the app store at this point, and like someone else mentioned I’m pretty picky with them. If you’re thinking of downloading, here’s a rundown. Pros: cute graphics, you get a good amount of energy to start with, no ads unless you watch them, the storyline isn’t bad. I usually couldn’t care less about storylines so that last one is a plus. Cons: the merge lines are so unbelievably long, causing you to use an insane amount of energy to get a lot of the very early game items required, energy regenerates very slowly and takes a LOT of gems if you want to regenerate. My biggest issue is pretty much the same complaint that almost every merge game has — you download it, you play for about 15-20 mins, you get stuck with no energy and waiting for your items to regenerate for a long time. Which then forces you to either wait for a few hours for everything to regenerate again, or spend real money. It’s just an okay game. Very, very similar to the Love and Pies one. If you like that, you’ll probably like this one. No hate to the devs, it’s a well developed game with great graphics. Maybe just give people the option to watch some ads and give like 30-50 energy so they don’t get bored and uninstall instead of trying to wait for their energy to come back. People have short attention spans nowadays, like me. Or make the merge lines a little shorter. Both would be nice. But y’know, you do you!.JawaeseVersion: 2.7.5

Will Never DeleteThis is one of the few games that will last a lifetime on my phone. I really enjoy the story, the actual gameplay and the graphics. The side missions and challenges are fun and not overly difficult to the point where you don’t even want to participate. I really hope to see more games like this from the developer as I prefer the merge board style like this! There are definitely a few times when it feels like you’re stuck and tempted to make a purchase to push through but it’s not necessary. Just need some patience 😁 I’m not a big spender in games and I’m usually irritated by offers presented and the value placed on them. However, this game does a good job at providing bundles with value for the money so when I have taken advantage of one I’m satisfied with my purchase and happy to contribute to further developments in the game..Ab081112Version: 3.41.0

It’s a fun game, just takes a long time to advanceIt really is a fun game. I’ve been playing it for about a month now, and only once have I paid for gems(I rarely buy from free games bc I believe free should be free) but I did to get a order done with which is why this game can become frustrating quickly when you advance further. It’s a shame that the game advances the orders but not your lives so you get a quarter way through a single order before your out of your life and takes you over a day to finish it, and you spend ten minutes or less playing before you can’t play anymore and I refuse to spend a few dollars a day just to keep playing. This is probably how the game makes their money but if you want people to keep playing the game something has to give. Soon enough I’m going to find a new game to play since I can’t fully enjoy it anymore but I’m still trying to give it a chance since it is fun..15cassVersion: 3.43.0

THE best out of them allEdit: I may have spoke too soon about the energy and gem costs. Further in it ended up being just the same as any other. Sad. This one follows the same formula of merge games you probably already enjoy. Decoration, cute story line, cafe… BUT this one actually lets you play for a good little bit before you run out of energy. Even then you have opportunities to earn them in game and they aren’t asking for a large number either. Maybe 1 gem or 2. You easily get those already in the game without spending real money. For that reason I’ll actually spend my money to buy things from this game, as crazy as that sounds. It is very refreshing to have one of these games not be a huge cash grab. Not everyone has $10 to spend every day loading energy. I support that. There will be other people who feel the same way about this game. I hope devs are reading this and keep the game that way because I will continue to support you all for doing this and thank you..TaraTrillVersion: 2.4.0

Amazing Customer Service!!!I love this game so much so I decided to download it on my phone after using it on my iPad first. Then my data was linked and I lost my progress on my iPad (which I was further ahead in levels). I contacted costumer service through the app and told them my problem and they worked with me through everything and were very kind and explained what I could do on my end. For 6 days they worked with me to get my data back and they were able to fix it and I was so grateful! I highly recommend this game to everyone and I love how they care about the people who play their game and I want to personally thank the person who helped me. (If you see this lol thank you) I will be a lifelong player! Also best merge game I have ever played. I can’t wait to see how you continue to make this game great!.Emmebubble521Version: 3.16.0

Gameplay Is Addictive, But Storyline Is the WeaknessI'm enjoying playing this much more than I'd thought I could enjoy a merge-type game. It's fun strategizing what to work on and I'm enjoying the game even more with the western side event, because it gives me the opportunity to earn more goodies and play for more time each day. I hope when that is over, they replace it with another similar one! I also think the amount of ads is reasonable for a free game. What I'm not wild about at all is the storyline, which is kind of dumb and kind of a mess. But what bitters me even more it's that it's centered on a character (Quinn) I don't like at all. She's very immature/judgemental and not a great mom (for example, she tells her daughter she's too busy to play with her, which is fine, but after promising to play with her later, when she finally has some free time, she chooses to go on a date, instead). I basically find her annoying most of the time..LagilPrimeVersion: 3.24.0

Don’t bother unless you want to spend your $This game was fun in the beginning, but the higher level the more it requires you to spend or wait a week for you to be able to complete an order. After a certain level, you’re no longer offered the option to watch an add in exchange for energy so unless you want to wait a week, you’ll end up spending $2-$4 which can easily add up. Then let’s talk about rubies for energy. Another $ grabber. You can buy 100 energy for 10 rubies/jewels but the next purchase will double in price going 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160. So that deal you got for 200 rubies/jewels isn’t really a deal because you may think you can buy a lot of energy, but you can’t. Overall the game was entertaining in the beginning but the further you go in the levels, the more energy each order will take and your only options for recovering energy is to purchase it or to wait 2 mins per 1 energy. Some items cost over 500 energy - so you’d have to wait over 1,000 mins for those items - not happening. I’m in the 50’s level now and have spent enough. It just aNTA to to keep spending more and more - yes that’s normal but you shouldn’t have to wait days to play for free and then only be able to fill one order lol. I say save your money and only play until level 20 or so and move on to another game. I’m about to delete it from my phone now because of all of the reasons I mentioned..Ivey Ivey RVersion: 3.43.0

This game has so much potentialBut it’s not fully there yet. I love the story line and it’s fun to decorate and make the design your own. But energy runs out so fast just like other commenters mentioned. It takes so long to get through the story line. I was on the fence about deleting the game because I want to see the finished version of my café and I am getting invested into the story line, but the game is so greedy and you need to pay real money for everything. I wouldn’t mind spending a couple bucks if I knew my money would go far but there’s simple never enough money and the game board is always full of stuff you can’t even use until way later into the game. It takes the fun out of everything. Unfortunately I won’t get to see how the story finishes. I ran out of energy within a couple minutes of gameplay and I’m just tired of it. I hope for better updates in the future to promote actual gameplay instead of playing the waiting game.Lil miss chrissyVersion: 3.41.0

Fun gameI want to give this 5 star review but I am disappointed with some things. I was buying energy and the jewels to help me get further, at first was good I felt I got my moneys worth then as I progressed it took more and more energy to complete the task. Full energy is 100, it take 2 hours for energy to refill, I just used (14 hours) and 700 energy and still have not been able to complete a task making a big round sandwich. Fulfilling the contest is really hard I was able to finish one at beginning then again it takes a lot of energy to complete these missions! Hey it is a game it supposed to challenging, I get that! After awhile playing without progress can get boring. I suggest sooner energy refills and more rewards of jewels to help along the way. Last I am sad to say I had to stop buying from the game as I kept getting double charged. Apple did reimburse me when I reported it, but it kept happening so I stopped. This is a very addicting game and lots of fun for awhile..Jan@71Version: 3.18.0

Love this game, but…Love this game. One of my favorite mergining game. Problem is I wish there are more opportunities to get more energy, ‘cause they ran out WAY too fast given how many steps to get to the fancy coffee or the fancy sandwich. Honestly, I don’t mind if I need to watch quite a bit of ads just to get more energy - also please don’t just give like 15 energy, make it 30 or even 50. You get revenues from us watching ads, we have more fun playing this. ‘Cause, that’s too little. Also, it’d be great if there are other ways to get that energy box. Chances are too little. Either I have to level up or I’ll have to wait till 5pm PT to use 10 gem to purchase that energy box. I spent quite a bit real money into this game, yay to the developers, but not so much for myself that I might delete the game soon as much as I want to keep on playing due to lack of motivation and running out of energy too FAST :(.Meglo99Version: 2.4.0

A Fun Game So FarI’ve only been playing for a day, as part of playing Merge Fables. I think it’s rather fun, but the energy used is too much, and it’s too hard to come by. As it is now, being a new player, I can only play 20 minutes or so until I’m busted. That being said, I’ll say these things about gameplay—the merging part of the game is smooth and, unlike many of these merge games, doesn’t fill the board with so many things you don’t need right then. The dialogue and the storyline part of the game is kinda lame—there was a fire that destroyed a diner which belonged to our heroine’s father who has disappeared. So, she sets out to avoid the two “hot and available” dudes who want to do her, and thus the party begins. I can’t wait to see which one gets the girl. I’ll keep playing for awhile, so I can earn credit for my other game, but I’d only keep playing if there’s some relief where the energy is concerned..LoveMelodioVersion: 2.5.0

Most money I ever spent-and it’s a good thingI play a lot of games, due to the fact I get bored easily. This game has held my attention the longest, and has even coaxed me into spending real life money! The most I have spent on any game…. Ever…. And I hate spending money. And it’s not even the story line. Side note: I hate reading story lines. So I skip thru everything. Don’t even know what this game is about but I love the goals with In goals and the wins and constant prizes gives me the dopamine my mind can’t make on it’s own lol. It’s honestly fantastic and I love logging in on breaks or right before bed…. But all good things come to an end. This will be my last season. Only due to the fact my adhd and commitment issues makes me a person who bounces around.. in a few years I’ll sure I’ll be back to play again.AdabewbsVersion: 3.49.0

Honest review (parents read)First off let me get the parents note out of the way right off the bat. This game has story lines and there is a lot of lgbtq characters and relationships, so if you don’t want your kids exposed to that then don’t let them play this game. As for the game itself, I’ve been playing this game for at least two months and besides the storyline it’s pretty good. No ads and no WiFi needed. I like the way the game is made, how you can go back and forth between mini games and decorating and the matching stuff. I really appreciate that you can get items like diamonds and energy by doing other things and it isn’t impossible or super hard. I really like this game, I’m determined to get to the end and see what that looks like. I just felt the need to warn parents about the storyline because if you don’t get very far in the game you would not know..GretchenvvvVersion: 3.50.0

Great game, but…Very intriguing game. My Daughter and I got seriously hooked on it! I noticed that they employ allot of psychology in order for you to (top up) your energy. I’ve been buying her many top ups for most of the time we’ve been playing because she can’t afford to. She told me yesterday that she wants to quit because they are dragging out the story line and she never wins any of the contests. She also has continuously complains about running out of energy too fast. I’m fine if she does because it saves me money, I’ve been trying to get hold of the game creators for awhile now to advise them that they run out too fast for your average player to remain interested. I can’t seem to be able to contact anyone. When you go into help you get a “contact us” icon to click on but everything leads you to a list of selections. I finally figured out to go to a suggestion part but I just get canned responses. Oh well their loss..DesignerwithinVersion: 3.48.0

Prepare for long wait timesI really want to love this game but as I progress in the game, it continues to disappoint me. Unless you have the money to buy the energy to produce items, prepare to wait for hours to become fully charged. On top of waiting that long for energy, there are some item producers that give you a limited amount of items to merge then it pauses for an hour or more before you can use it again. Also as you level up in the game it gets harder to complete one customer’s order as it takes a lot of item merging to complete it. I’m on level 19 and it takes me a day or 2 to complete some orders. There are some items or like 15 energy you can get from watching an ad but it’s very limited. I am still holding on hoping maybe the creator will make it easier or give us more options to gain items or energy but it looks like I’ll be deleting this game soon as my patience is running out..Kayeana2007Version: 3.14.0

Cole is ruining this game for me.I used to love this game!! However, the sudden and unexplained shift in the storyline, the board that’s far too small, and the requests that take far too long are ruining it. I also am frustrated that the SECOND I started spending the occasional $1-$5 on the game, free energy options disappeared. Now, let’s get to my gripes about the storyline. When you suddenly change a storyline months after the game comes out, you need to explain the new one to the players. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on anymore. The old storyline and the new one do not coincide at all. Also, Cole is absolutely insufferable and I would love the option to just dump him for good. Also, most of the decorations are terrible and don’t go well together in the slightest. I used to love this game, and I want to continue to love it so badly, but it’s just become such a hot mess that is borderline unplayable due to the small board and difficult orders..KatiewayisgayVersion: 3.9.10

Pay to winIn the beginning, once you first download the game, it's great! It's awesome and exciting and the drama that's going on is pretty amazing. And so you may be wondering why I only gave three stars. Well that's because after around fifteen minutes or so the games decides to become a pay to win. See, there is. Mechanic called energy. Every time you create a new dish it uses one energy and once all of your energy is used up you have to wait a couple hours at least to get back into having enough energy. Where it becomes pay to win is once you run out of energy you donthave to wait if you pay with gems but gems are decently hard to get and it cost quite a lot of gems an so once you run out of those gems you we'd to pay for more to buy enough energy to continue. So, developers, solid game but you would have so many more people willing to play if you just got rid of the energy mechanic!.Kitty_kittencattyVersion: 3.46.0

The fun is short livedI like this game, but the playtime is way too short before your stuck having to wait a long time to get more energy. What really pisses me off is when you have to spend your coins just for the game characters to have a conversation, etc. and no building or repairing takes place—THAT NEEDS TO STOP! It’s a waste of your customers resources and time. Essentially, this game is a big money pit to make developers rich, unless you are someone who has a vast amount of patience to wait many hours for energy. It would be so much better and more enjoyable if you could get one energy every minute instead of one energy every two minutes. I’m not spending one more penny on this game. The value just isn’t there for what you get for your money. Not worth it. Otherwise, it’s a fun game to kill 10-15 minutes of time here and there..Truth87777Version: 3.49.0

I’ve tried a lot of games & deleted them - not this oneI started playing this game about two months ago, and it really is a lot of fun. I appreciate that there aren't any ads, the storyline is great, and it’s the best merge game I've found so far. I’ve tried a lot of games, but only a couple (I played Seeker's Notes and Hogwarts Mystery for a long time but got bored and don’t play them anymore) have held my interest like this one. That said, this game is very expensive when you have to buy packages of gems to complete tasks. I don’t mean a couple of bucks here and there, like Candy Crush - I mean $10-$40 a pop! I’ve contemplated deleting the game because of the cost. Then I think about all the games I’ve tried and almost instantly deleted because of the constant, repetitive, annoying ads that take up so much time. I guess you get what you pay for..NautimindVersion: 3.32.0

Pretty good, could be better.Very fun, excellent for chilling or waking your brain up in the morning. Only thing is, I’d make energy more plentiful or easier to get. As it is, the wait for it to recharge can be frustrating and sap interest..JackinabottleVersion: 3.5.0

Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story Negative Reviews

-0Seriously a cash cow game. They make their money easily off of you and the paid advertisements. I only made it to level 13, while spending my money. Yes my fault, the point is. I only got to that level by spending money. The requests of the dinners are so ridiculously hard to make, and the game started feeling redundant. Basically you get no where fast. Even while spending money. Then they allow you to get extra energy by advertising. So they are making that money too. The they start encouraging you to play their other games for rewards. So basically, you will spend money there too. I honestly did not pay much attention to the storyline for the most part, however when I did, I was even more put off. What a waste of time and money. If you like repetitive game play this may be for you. And let me assure you, IT IS REDUNDANTLY REPETITIVE. And a cash cow. Technically a F2P game. However, if you really want to advance in a reasonable way. Then you must P2P. Update- got the typical cookie cutter response. It was as always seriously unhelpful. My review will remain at -0. Save your time and money. Unless you have excessive time to play into their other social media contests and hope you win anything. Fact remains. No matter how much energy you get. The game is still 2 redundant to get anywhere to be considered satisfying..JoksteerVersion: 3.21.0

Shopping pass is impossible!!Found this game via an ad from another game and downloaded it. Pretty good at first, but then after a few levels, every item takes 20 steps to make and the generators take forever on a time delay. Worse, I paid money for the shopping pass, and I’m barely to level 18 (of 36) and each higher level takes thousands of points to unlock! It’s literally impossible to get through the pass with the energy levels, time, and items needed to merge. The extra games (like recent food truck fire) eat up the energy for very little return. It’s honestly a good game, but the developers need to be a little more reasonable on rewards, energy banks, and number of merges to get items completed to keep people engaged. I’ve spent three days trying to make this stupid Dalmatian dog, and if I ever get done, it’s only for a small amount of coins and gems. I’m likely uninstalling and certainly not paying more real money to buy gems or energy with so little return on the fun. The worse part is you can buy energy with gems, but it keeps going up. First 100 is 10 gems, then 20, then 40, then 80! You “wait out” the game and it might give an add to watch for 15 energy (which is like 4 merges). Ugh, I’m getting angry just thinking about how much better they could have made this by being reasonable..Andeey.Version: 3.6.0

Throttled right off the bat and not iPad friendly.Usually a game lets you advance pretty far before they start throwing roadblocks to get you to buy (which is fine, developers need to eat too) but this one throttles you almost immediately. Not enough energy and customers want the “big items” after the first few purchases. I’ve only been playing maybe an hour total and I’m at the point where I can’t sell to one customer without running out of energy. Also, this game is not iPad friendly. You must hold your iPad vertically, which wears my hands out because most stands (including mine) are made to set your iPad horizontally. One more thing that annoys me. This is another game that does not match the ads. I have not run across one puzzle where you have to build a window, paint a wall, make a bed, or adopt a child. It’s all “click this item using energy, make food, sell to customer.” An example is in the ads they make you think the little red head girl is an orphan that you have to pick whether you keep or ignore her but actually she’s your daughter that’s with you the whole time. The only good thing I have to say about the game is you find all this out rather quickly so you don’t feel like you need to spend money on a game you’re going to uninstall..Kcelsner79Version: 3.34.0

Money grab gameThe only thing true about the ad is the top part where it has the level, coins, gems, and energy. As well as combining the same items to get a different item. I’m on level 80 and you’d think they’d give you more energy as you level up but it doesn’t. You have to wait 2 minutes until you get a singular energy and by the time you reach a higher level it takes 4 energy to make 1 item so imagine how fast you can play til it’s over. The energy literally goes away in 2 minutes. As well as the higher level you are the more difficult the orders get. So you have to wait 2-3 days to complete one order if you’re not willing to pay physical money from your bank account. While you could use the gems you get sometimes but the first time you use 10 gems for 100 energy. Then the gem price goes up to 20, 40, 80 all for only 100 energy. The card game thing is also bogus because how is it that I’ve collected some of the same cards and then randomly it will pop up that one of them is new but I already had it? This game is definitely a cash grab but nonetheless I only downloaded this game while on maternity leave because I’m not use to being home this long..DontdownloadthegameeVersion: 3.55.0

Limited Play Time and False AdvertisingWhen you actually download and play Gossip Harbor, it is NOTHING like how it is advertised, which is misleading. In the beginning you can get some decent playtime in by using energy to merge items and advance the game's mystery storyline. The storyline has quite a few grammatical errors, but most players probably won't notice. What is noticeable, however, is as you advance in the game (and after updates), orders start to cost waaaay more energy and you earn fewer rewards for each order when it takes an immense amount energy to fulfill those orders. I only get five minutes of gameplay now before I run out of energy. To get more energy players have to pay with real money, and all those micro transactions really add up. We're talking paying over $200 for a phone game when you could have purchased at least three Nintendo Switch games instead and had endless hours of challenging fun. The mini games featured on this game are similar to many other free games like "Royal Match" (also ad-free), but the difference is you can't play more than five minutes and advance in the game at a decent rate unless you pay for energy. It's incredibly frustrating..JehddygdVersion: 3.48.0

Fun at firstThis game is a classic merge and advance through the story game. You get 100 “moves” at a time and at first it’s easy to advance, but eventually the challenge get harder. This is fine and expected. I also am one to spend a bit of money on a game. After all, the creators and support staff deserve a salary, I hate ads, and it brings me more joy than a crappy Starbucks coffee. However, this game is more cash hungry than others I’ve played. The rewards for advancing levels are stingy for the time needed to get there. And there are multiple producers you need to “create” (using up moves) just to get whatever they produce (using up more moves) that then disappear- example is the seafood plate. You can use all 100 “moves” to not even make one item requested in the game (example- need multiple seafood plates to make the lobster tail dish; using way more moves than 100). The love triangle story line is also dragging already…and I’m not even to level 40. Bottom line message to creators: I’d play more, spend more money, and download more of your games if you rewarded me better for playing..Ltk2012Version: 3.42.0

Not the game in the ad, P2(actually)PThe story and game are completely different than the ad about the homeless woman with the children making choices about their lives and trying to stay alive and using a merge game to fix their home to survive. The game is a merge game to make restaurant items for customers to fix up a restaurant. There are no choices about which way you want the story to go and it has nothing to do with these ads about people shivering in the cold or trying to survive. You can only play for a short time before hitting a wall where you have to purchase more “energy” to make items to merge. Otherwise you close the game after a few moves and come back later. I’ve only had it a few days and it’s already to the point that I can’t complete a single item before I need to pay for more energy, so I’m definitely going to delete now. If they were smarter, the developers would give you more to get you hooked and see a reason to buy. But I guess this works for their purpose, which is getting enough people to give them money that they don’t need to make a game you can actually play..SmashleyCAVersion: 3.33.0

Not worth ur timeI was gonna give this game 2 stars because while it’s a merge with good animations and the story was okay, but I’ve reconsidered to a 1 star. The game is so grindy of the same item. Also, it started off with a fire, then mentioned a poisoning, and now some gambling? Ive paid attention to all the story chats. Where is all this new info coming from? It’s making it super unenjoyable and I’ve deleted this game. We should have a journal compiling the story as each chat continues or each day. Also a situation with development was just the last straw. No physical evidence on their claim to show and very poor customer service. They obviously just want your money. Look at the items, they all cost jewels. And getting jewels in the game is so rare, so you’d basically have to buy them unless you’re extremely patient. Want to play an actually good game? Play Merge Mansion or Love & Pies. L&P is even more similar to this game and it’s actually good. Their items cost jewels but you start off with a good base of items and actual completable tasks that you dont have to run through ur jewels. Save ur time and money, play something else..KattheKajhiitVersion: 2.7.5

Fun gameI like the game. I don’t mind spending a few dollars on a game I like either. I also enjoy spending a bit of time on games I enjoy as well. The story is fun, but I do dislike there is never enough energy to at the least get one maxed product of a certain item. I wish the energy was increased to 200 instead of 100. No … the 200 would probably not give you a maxed out items.. but it would allow us to play a bit more and feel like it isn’t taking an hour for energy to reload to use it again to not even be half way finished working towards an item. Also! The options like the dog house or the orange tree only dropping less then 10 items before there is a cool down is so sad. I have been working forever it feels trying to get this Dalmatian during my evening down time and I just wanna give up on it. I will change my rating if the game makes some updates to give us more energy and offers less time for cool downs on those “take forever items” or dishes put way more items before it initiates a cool down..Alex.Ike766Version: 3.37.0

Cash grabThis was an interesting time saver, but I don’t like the misleading ads. I have spent some money on it and have come to understand that if you don’t, you cannot achieve most goals. It’s a business model so it is up to you if you want to support this. A little too soapy for my tastes, but I can overlook it and you do get the opportunity to “fast forward” past the story line. It’s not bad by any means but it is not “great”. Update: After actually exploring the amount of money I was investing in this game, I finally deleted it. There is no end game and you are increasingly forced to spend real money if you want to complete projects or storyline in anything resembling a reasonable time frame. I actually quit spending money on the game as a test, and found that completion times were absolutely atrocious. I have already made it quite far (up to remodeling the mansion). After spending what I convinced myself were small amounts, it added up to hundreds of dollars over several months. Talk about feeling stupid. Just not worth it for a story that will never end or mysteries that will never be answered..That Mean GuyVersion: 3.50.0

Disappointed.I played this game for months on end, and bought in game things to make my experience more fun. Once a pack came out that was $3.99, I purchased it. But instead of getting it almost immediately after, my game crashed and didn’t give me the pack I had paid for. I tried to reset my purchase and got the same ‘Connection failed’ screen. After about 15 minutes of trying to get this purchase to come through, I noticed that the tab the pack was under had changed. The price went up from $3.99 to $4.99. And still, even after this, I didn’t get the in game pack I purchased. I deleted the game since and have been extremely upset since. I paid money for something I didn’t wind up getting. And on top of that, the price change? Could be wrong, but it looks like some kind of scam after seeing that. I understand 4 dollars isn’t a lot to lose, but when you’re expecting to get something out of it, it’s pretty annoying. I’m highly disappointed in not only this game, but the company..Im.a.clown.don't.judgeVersion: 3.49.0

Fun, but…So contacted CS on the several issues I’ve had, and “ their records “ show I received what I was supposed to, when I actually did not receive it. Just sent another one in regarding energy I just won… Will report back their response, which always seems to be the case. Not worth my time and gigs if I have to take a screenshot after everything, except the actual merging. Getting very annoying. Update… Still happening. Not receiving the prizes that it shows. Every time I contact CS, they respond about something I’m not inquiring about. Not getting any of the “ good prizes “. I’m not even reporting anything anymore since they always make excuses, and I refuse to fill up my iPad with pics I’m supposed to get, but not getting. It’s still fun, but energy goes very quickly, and orders are much more difficult. Not worth my time anymore to contact them, or take screen shots. I’ll play once a day, and not spend any more money or time. It’s a cool game, if you don’t care about receiving prizes you win…. But then, what’s the point?.Enc GillVersion: 3.45.0

Oh well.. next?So I played until day 21 level 26 or something around those… and deleted the game. The long grind to get items was annoying but tolerable cause it is what it is… but they changed the entire storyline after I’ve been playing for a very long time they completely scrap that story from the game and do a different story with no rhyme or reason and no hey to catch you up here … when I asked in customer support about it they just brushed me off with the same generic response of thanks for your input. We are making adjustments on the storyline. So that was it for me… not playing a game that apparently didn’t have its own identity figured out before releasing. - loooooooong item trains - long waits for new energy - no customer care - changing the entire story (story I was playing has nothing to do with new story and no catch up to speed) - long waits to get items to make things to get stuff to make orders… yeah you have to do trains for those too they just don’t give you the stuff to do that with often - generic responses in any contact with developer company because their players don’t matter -random ratio is off. If you need something expect double wait times or just hoard what you can. - money hungry. To avoid a wait please pay rubies which you rarely get for free so spend money to buy them so you can try to enjoy our game before we leave you confused on the floor about what’s even going on. Excuse me while I go play something else..DuckyournicknameVersion: 3.1.5

NO Gossip in this boring HarborAfter playing this game for over 4 months (quitting this game at level 55), the once promising premise faded away into a series of boring vignettes designed for children without plot and excitement. You’ll spend 90% of the time in the kitchen using energy to put together items until you fulfill the orders that will “pay” you to have access to the story of the game. There is never a payout, the story villain is never seen and after two incidents at the beginning of the earlier levels nothing happens, the protagonist's ex-husband comes back to her life and she simply allows him to be part of her business despite he cheating on her and gambling their money, subplots with her handyman who has a crush with the police officer in charge of the case also goes anywhere and the big issue is setting up a lot of things that never goes anywhere. There is not a sense of jeopardy or that you're rewarded with good stories after spending time and resources combining items to create food, If you want a repetitive and monotonous game with bad writing, play this game..France de AtlántidaVersion: 3.37.0

Annoying after 2 months. Completely obnoxious characters.In the beginning I enjoyed playing the game although the advertised storyline for the game is false. You do and can end up spending some coin on this game because you blast through energy without much reward. The reason why I am on the verge of deleting the game is because the characters are so incredibly annoying and I find myself struggling to support a game with characters that are unlikeable. Cole, the ex of the main character Quinn is such a complete douche, along with Carmen, and a couple other characters. Seriously, the storyline drags on and on and on and on, see my point? The employees at the restaurant are great, but, the game creators need to swap out storylines after a bit in order to make the game more appealing. I’m so ready for Cole to just run off to be a douche with someone else, taking Carmen too. Sam and Mark are sweet, growing tired of Quinn whining and allowing Cole to be his super douch self to people. I’ll give the game creators a week and if they make some intelligent changes then bye bye..Theapplefan10Version: 3.50.0

Not enough play valueA slick, and too effective, cash grab game. It’s impossible to have an enjoyable time with this game without spending money, and *even then* the actual gameplay is inadequate. The energy fills too slowly and doesn’t last long enough. Immersion doesn’t happen. There’s no reset, so messing up means the game is ruined. If an ad system refilled energy it might be better. Atm not worth downloading..The ~kayt~Version: 3.5.0

What were you thinking…Honestly, I’d have highly rated this game before the sudden abrupt change in storyline. When you’re partway through a story about a fire, it’s not cool to suddenly remove that and start talking about a food poisoning (nonsensically, in my view, since I have no context for the new dialogue)…and then to go and blame the only non-binary character in the game? What the heck are you guys thinking!?.ElsewhereCWVersion: 2.7.5

Becoming frustrating, unplayable and story is kind of icky.The game is becoming unplayable with all of the events also taking up space on the board. It’s becoming difficult to even make basic orders without deleting some of the upgrade items like rocks, coffee beans, etc. Between coconuts sky journey balloons, Valentine’s Day orders, and other in game special orders for the kid, Carmen etc, there just isn’t room in the board for anything. The other challenge is the orders are always high level orders from producers that only release a few items at a time or take forever to obtain. With the seafood, you have to produce the prepped seafood which takes a while and doesn’t produce a lot of seafood. I’m not sure if the money you get from the seafood even takes into account the extra energy of producing the prepped seafood AND then producing the seafood orders. I always seem to get a lot of the scuba orders, but it isn’t balanced with the inflatables. I can’t count the number of peacock inflatables, high level sandwiches and coffees I’ve had to delete without an order coming up because of the more rare to get items, but seem to be a very common order. It’s always the seafood platter, high level scubas, tea jug, fry plate, and the odd high level seashell thrown in for me. I’m not sure how much longer I will attempt to play this game but the board space and the algorithm for what orders come up are a big issue. The gem cost for resetting order producers is absurd. For example, resetting the nautical storage bin is 2 hours or 97 gems, which is approx $3 CAD. This is not a reasonable price for me for resetting a single producer just to speed things up once. My other issue with this game is how they made Cole into a cheating husband and then introduced him back into the story as anyone worth being romantically involved. I think it would make much more sense if their relationship devolved over the restaurant poisoning incident, not infidelity. Cole is a very toxic person as the story stands and the fact the main character is even considering being romantically interested in him is seriously messed up. I think my story started with them at a casino and him having a couple ladies hanging off of him. Why isn’t he gambling away their savings and a suspect in the poisoning incident and this was the cause for their divorce? The gambling issue and the storyline about the poisoning would make the main characters responses seem a lot more healthy and understandable. Or honestly not even gambling or infidelity, just the poisoning storyline would still make a lot more sense..Teresa1111111Version: 3.11.0

This is DISGUSTING and incredibly disturbing. Wish i could give it 0 stars but need to give it at least one in order to post this. Despicable..DaisyRose1999Version: 3.12.0

Offensive adsThe ads for this app are highly insensitive and offensive with their depiction of child abandonment..MeritmelVersion: 3.55.0

Domestic abuseI keep seeing your ads depicting domestic abuse. How could you ever think this is an appropriate way to market a game? This is horrible..CatsisavVersion: 3.55.0

Not what you get!Game is not what is advertised. “Fake”..BubbaFUVersion: 3.55.0

Not at all like the adsDon’t download it! They lie about what the game is and then expect people to keep the game? Total false advertising which should be illegal. Also, when you do start enjoying the game they force you to buy all types of things. The ads plus the constant need to buy things makes it really not worth it. I’m uninstalling it..WizardraghnallVersion: 3.55.0

Disgusting AddI am so disgusted that the Ads for these games show children drowning or being homeless. Is there no morality left in our society?.Jjjj441Version: 3.53.0

AwfulI dislike the theme of this game so much with babies crying, kids starving and domestic violence where the guy slaps the woman holding the baby. Horrible game..Grooms by PamVersion: 3.52.0

Remove this game…I literally saw the first 5 seconds of the game, got extremely upset and deleted it. No way this is sad and disgusting. The worst thing anyone can do is snub a poor child who looks up to you and cries daddy…. No freaking way…..BoootzzVersion: 3.52.0

DisgustingFake ads. Disgusting story. No play time. Spend money. Don’t download..BettivaVersion: 3.52.0

MisleadingNot as advertised….. you don’t get to play the game that’s in the ads.Cass wildVersion: 3.51.5

Nothing like the ad!This game is NOTHING like what the ad shows at all! Even though your advertisement specifically says it is! Also the gameplay is super slow. Not enough energy given to even play and enjoy the game. Energy takes way to long to replenish..100%MeeVersion: 3.50.0

Expensive - don’t waste your timeThis app asks for reviews when everything is free. Right after that you can not complete a few tasks per day unless you spend tons of money. It’s too bad there isn’t just one price for these games and it includes everything. They make money off of those who clearly have no financial control. I just want to play a game and have fun. Not spend $400 doing it. Outrageous and greedy on the app developers part..RaHondaVersion: 3.50.0

DisgustingThis content is absolutely disgusting. Negative relationships, abuse, toxic, just stop already. This is not a good game..Prince ziggelotVersion: 3.49.0

The Ad continues to lieThe ADs continue to lie. Another game that claims to be the thing from the ads but isn’t..19nonnahs93Version: 3.49.0

FakeNothing like the description.Pelu8Version: 3.48.0

Money grab - absolute scamIs the game fun? Yes I’m enjoying it but the fact that it takes so long to get “energy” and your only options are to either wait hours to get enough to do anything, or to spend an insane amount of money. Why not make any sort of permanent mini game to earn energy and rarer materials? The fact that I have to wait so long and can’t do anything other than that makes me want to never pick up this game again..MarderrVersion: 3.48.0

Misleading Advertising, Harmful Stereotyping, and Promotion of ViolenceI had to download this game just to leave this review because I kept seeing its ad everywhere in the other games I play, and I needed to say something. The advertising is incredibly misleading, focusing on divisive and dramatic narratives that have almost nothing to do with the actual gameplay, making it feel like a cash grab. What’s even worse is how the ads perpetuate harmful stereotypes—women are constantly shown as victims, men as villains—and this only fuels division and hatred. To top it off, it even promotes violence toward children, which is completely unacceptable. This game and its marketing reflect much of what’s wrong with today’s media: glorifying harmful behaviors instead of providing an enjoyable or meaningful experience..Bob234lkVersion: 3.48.0

Not What Is AdvertisedThe ad literally said tired of those games that make you think you are going to be fixing and renovating things and help the characters out but they don’t turn out that way when you download the game and play it? That’s this game!!!! Waste of my time so far. Thinking of deleting it. Not what was advertised at all!! VERY DISAPPOINTING!!.PDT1971Version: 3.48.0

OVERCHARGESI paid for $6 worth of diamonds and got charged $55!!!!! Do not download this app!!.Macdrach2004Version: 3.48.0
