Glitches and more glitches – MY LITTLE PONY: MAGIC PRINCESS Review

After 6 months of spending $30-40/month, having played on my own and my daughter’s accounts up to about level 100, here’s why we are done - glitches that make you lose rewards you earned during gameplay or from making purchases. Here’s why you shouldn’t download this game and waste your time and money too: 1) The in game currency of gems is expensive (as in, $50 of real money to buy 770 gems, aka enough to buy 2-3 ponies or 1-2 shops), and it’s very hard to come by just by playing (you can get 3-5 a day by watching videos, leveling up certain ponies, finding changelings or playing in the mine) 2) you CANNOT win the larger events without buying “helper ponies” for $10-15 each, even if you set timers to play 3) if you play the smaller events on a regular basis, you CAN win the main prize, but good luck collecting - 3 times now the event has ended, with me safely in the top 150 tier to win, and when the event ends I don’t get the prize (any prize, even 2nd or 3rd place... major glitch) 4) if you contact game loft help they take days to respond and need screenshots BUT the help form has a glitch where it won’t load your ticket if you add a picture - how fun! 5) when you spend real money you get punches on a punchcard to earn free gems every few punches - 2 out of 3 times, I didn’t get those gems 6) there is a glitch in one of the mini games (equestrian girls) where you click “ok” on 3 screens to play - on the 3rd screen you need to select a lower tier reward or you are automatically charged 15 gems - the lag on the 2nd page, however, means you usually need to click ok more than once, and this will trigger the click for the 3rd page and spend your gems - so fun! 7) everything is designed to make you accidentally spend gems - all add ons are defaulted to select the highest gem value instead of the free version or the free in game coins that are more easily earned, all expansions are defaulted to spending gems instead of bits, if you try to collect coins too quickly you will tap tap tap to collect and BAM something will have popped up for expanding or collecting that isn’t ready and a tap on it means you’re spending gems 8) yesterday, when trying to reorganize the houses in Canterlot, the game glitched and would not allow me to put a house back down where it came from or close out the edit or use exit functions. I was forced to close the game and reopen and when I did the character and their home, which I’d purchased early in the game, were gone from my game and needed to be repurchased. Since customer service has been so slow (or chastised me for the glitches), I didn’t even bother reaching out. When the customer is so fed up they don’t even try anymore, you have huge issues. Since I downloaded this game on 2 devices with 2 separate accounts so I could play with my daughter, Gameloft just lost 2 paying customers.
