Farmville by Zynga – iPhone App Review

Farmville by Zynga (Free)

Version – 1.01

Review – “Bring classic Facebook gaming to your mobile device!”


Whether your already addicted, or you’ve always wondered why so many of your friends are playing, there’s never been a better time to try out one of the most popular games on Facebook! Farmville by Zynga is an iPhone app that interfaces with Farmville. It does this by downloading all your information from their servers, and then rendering it all on your iDevice!


The first time you open up Farmville on your iPhone you’ll need to get your account set up. If you already have Farmville on your facebook account you’ll be able to log in and access your old farm. You can also just create a new farm though if you’ve never played Farmville.


The basic idea of Farmville is that you get to create and design your own farm! As you progress through the game you’ll unlock the ability to grow a variety of different crops. You can also buy all kinds of items including fences, houses, barns, and animals!


In addition to “leveling up” for performing tasks and gaining xp, you also make money by producing and selling things. You can make money by growing trees and selling their fruits. You can make money by growing and selling various gropes from flowers to fruits and vegetables. You can also make money off the various different animals by performing things like milking them, or sheering them, etc.


As far as the look and feel of this app Zynga has done an excellent job making it feel like the web version! The interface is pretty easy to understand, and the app offers explanations of how to perform basic functions in case you can’t figure it out.


In all honesty the only real problems with app have to do with it’s connectivity. Sometimes it takes several tries to get the app to connect and load the information from Facebook’s servers. While some of these problems have been fixed in the latest 1.01 update, some of the problems still persist. For the most part the app seems stable after it gets loaded though.


One of the coolest features of this app is that you can actually receive push notifications when your crops are ready to harvest! One of the more difficult/time consuming tasks in Farmville is keeping track of when you need to get on to take care of the crops you have planted. With Push Notifications you’ll never have to worry about keeping track of this manually!


Overall the performance of this app was adequate. There are definitely a few bugs still in the system, but Zynga is working hard to fix them. While I probably wouldn’t probably recommend starting a new farm with this app until they get a few more kinks worked out, there is plenty here for the experienced Farmville user! Regardless, it can’t hurt to at least take a look at this app because just like Farmville on Facebook this app is available for free. So download your copy today!
