I love this game so much. It's relaxing and not addicting to the point where it's a bad habit to play. I continuously want to come back each day to see how my plants have grown and it only takes a few minutes to manage them! I don't tend to spend money on apps but I bought several bonsais from the app because its such a cool game! One issue: I opened the app on my tablet and all of my trees loaded. However, the cuts I made didn't transfer back to my phone so the trees are growing differently :(
Good game! It's always really great to a see a non-scummy game, but it's also relaxing and feels rewarding to look at after a few hours have passed in order to see how your bonsai have changed. I'll definitely think about buying some of the decorations and species in the game!
To be very clear I have tried to grow these damn things in the real world and trust me it's more damn effort than it's worth! When I discovered Pocket Bonsi ALL my problems? Solved! Booyeah! There are free options available but I am into customised stuff so yeah I spent real money and so what? It's major rad. I think I spent maybe 9 monies all up. Worth it! They grow in real time and they made pulling weeds fun lol my advice? Just play this wonderful game!
Game is Very cute & very relaxing, but I was disappointed to not see a Wisteria type tree 😿. I will give 5 stars if you add one! 😸 I've always wanted a Wisteria bonsai! Otherwise, I like the game. You could also add bamboo, maybe do a color selection on the pots, or add one with a dragon design. The Wisteria plant though is the big one for me, the other stuff is just suggestions! 😺 UPDATE 4/1/22 - No Wisteria tree... 😿 I know its not a big game... but please!? Dropping to 3 stars for now.
It's a relaxing and cool game but I wish there was more to do. You only get two different trees, two different pots, and for decorating you only get a rock and some moss. You have to pay to get any other decorations, pots, or trees. The trees grow in real time too so I only open the game like once every three days or so, then water the trees and pluck the weeds and my play time is over with the app.
This game is awesome,but without 2 things all need real money. It will be better if half items needs real money & half not. And also it will be better if it will look like more survival & realistic.
This game is so satisfying and calming. I love the fact that you actually have to wait for it to grow like a real plant (although this grows alot faster [But I'm glad that it does tho]). I also really like that you can trim and angle the branches, but I wish that you could wire them and cut the roots. But overall I really like this app!!!
Could easily be amazing, but no longer in development and there is minimal customization outside of a staggering $1 per individual item. Feedback reply: Would glady pay a few dollars for the entire game to have all the customization options.
Very nice overall, but I think tweaking the branch shaping aspect would do well, if instead of directing the branch as it grows, you could wire the branches/trunk. Or, maybe both? Keep the direction arrows but maybe later add in wiring? Good game either way, has potential for greatness :)
was really excited to see this game. been wanting to play a game like this for years. the only problem is almost everything costs real money. wish there was a little more free stuff because paying to get everything (I would love to collect all the items) would be very very exspencive.
It's a peaceful and fun game. My only problem is the price for literally everything in the game. If you want to focus on two trees with only two pots and two decorations, it's great. Otherwise everything is $1.99 per.
This is a 5 star game if not for the fact that i actually broke down and spent money on more pots at at least one tree on a previous download. Nothing happens when i tap restore purchaces. I ended up deciding to buy more pots anyway and it won't let me because i already own the item. I still only have two pots to plant but apparently i own the 3 pot expantion but i can't use them. I just bought like 4 trees. Please restore my purchaces.
Love it!!! I never had a green thumb and all my attempt at growing plants ended up in disaster! ((>ヮ<°) These bonsaïs are just realistic enough to be super satisfying! And although you only get two free, you can start over as often as you want and sculpt them to your will. Long story short, I'm very happy with it and I'm considering buying a 3 bonsaïs pot, in the near future! ( ᵔ‿ᵔ)
So I'm giving an otherwise five star app three. The money dump aspect is there, even if it isn't much. That said, I put down a little money on another device. Tried to restore purchase and it doesn't work. Don't be like that, man. Restore purchases.
Good game, very fun to watch the bonsai grow and take shape. Some better zoom features would be nice, selecting weeds vs. decorations can be tricky. Overall worth a download!
I'm loving this game. it's so relaxing and easy to use, but I wish that you didn't have to purchase the decorations and bonsai's with real money. It would be nice to earn them in-game with in-game currency. I think it would be a good idea to add a small game or something in it to earn money, or you could pull weeds and earn money too. This game is on a really great path. There are things that need to be fixed for longer game play, but other than that, This was a great game idea.
I'm a bit disappointed that you have to spend real money to get new trees,bowls and decorations,however,I am working with what I have got and it still works, it would be great if you gave a money-less option (adverts),which would still give you money,because I WOULD watch those, but I am not paying real money yet.
Cute plant graphics - could improve in smoothness and aesthetic in overall game tho, it looks too rough and tacky. I like the simple functions - wish there were more plant/decor options or perhaps free things weekly?
great game! wish there was a way to sell plants to have in game money to buy other plants as well, in that way players will hook up to the game in long runs. and fewer plants to buy with real money. overall game is kinda limiting, makes me wanna uninstall after playing in a few weeks...
good game. good idea. graphics i think could be better. very little allowed for free, but the game is entertaining. it's accurate to a bonsai simulation. great concept
awesome game, almost better than the real thing lol! one thing that would be nice, if you could tap on the branch selector to show you all that are available to make it easier to select the branches
Very relaxing, casual game. Nice to check on during slow times in the day, watching it grow and pruning it is surprisingly fun 😀
I like the game but the leader branch grows way to fast and the rest of the tree grows way to slow!!! But over all good job!!!
Pocket Bonsai is very relaxing and entertaining, but more plants and accessories should be available. or even a level system to allow other things to be unlocked
Very relaxing, slow paced (as far as games go) you are growing a tree after all. But it's Zen like music and soothing background make it worth the download.
I really enjoy this app. I wish you can adjust speed of play so you can see your bonsai at its maturity sooner.
Im impressed. I really enjoy it. Its fun and easy. I get to pick which way my lil tree grows and do all the normal things I would do. There is decorations and I thought they would get more expensive as I scrolled but nope! They're all only 99¢! They have kittens, mushrooms, treasure, other plants etc. Theres no ads and there is relaxing music in the background. I stop and water my plants to take a few minutes for me. Its a fun way to unwind for a little. I highly recommend!
