Downton Abbey: The Game for Android
It's a fun game but it crashes a lot. And I noticed that since the last update whenever I have a notification from the game my screen always stays on while with everything else it dims after 5 seconds. Annoying...
Even after stating the update fixed the bugs/glitches, it still doesn't run correctly. It's a shame, because I loved the show.
The graphics are fabulous!! I know some people dont like the fact that it is so hard to unlock the rooms. I think that is one of the things i like be, ause it keeps me coming back to try again. My issue is the level up stopping at 30 since this is one of the ways to re-energize. I also believe if you reach certain levels your energy should raise so that you would be able to be at more than 100 energy. Also why does it not open more than Ediths bedroom there are tons more rooms. I guess im done playing
Not at all intuitive. Very hard to figure out the object of play. The crafting in particular makes no sense; I never figured out how it works. You acumulate objects as rewards, then frequently have to choose which ones to delete without any clue what you might need them for. The pace is very slow. It seems to take a long time to accomplish anything and there's no sense of moving forward. The instructions are unclear or simply lacking. Just wish the game play was half as good as the graphics. I hope someone creates a game worthy of the graphics, but this ain't it.
I really really love this game and i love downton abbey more, but I've been having issues with the landing. When i try to play it, everything goes black and when i exit the game and go back, I've still lost my energy. I've had this issue with another room before so i reinstalled and i lost all of my progress. Please fix! I don't want to loose my progress!
...But it gets really tedious playing the same rooms over and over. I feel stuck and enthusiasm for this game is going down. I don't like how hard it is to upgrade and unlock rooms looking for the same items you have to craft. I also don't like that you can use your money crafting things and it doesn't work. I also don't like that there is no way to replenish diamonds besides paying. I love Donwton Abbey and this game has great graphics and the game premise was exciting, but the game unfolds too slowly.
I've been playing this game since September. With the last update, I lost all my progress, all my items and a boatload of money. But I started again. I've gotten back to where I was before the update, now I'm at Edith's bedroom and that's it. No more rooms unlocked, even though there are at least 6 rooms that should be in play. I'd like to know if this is the end of the game or what. If it is, very, very disappointing. You could have done better, it is a nice game but sorely neglected by the developers.
Downloaded this game app because I love the show. And I love the idea of this game. However crafting items fails regularly requiring much more time and money if you pay, to complete objectives. Played yesterday without issue on a large scale, today it will not even load. I want my money back! - after months of plat it reset my play to zero!
Cute hidden object game with realistic layout and fun Edwardian graphics. Not having any tech issues with it on my android phone. However maxxing out at level 30? That isn't great. And now since Android upgrade having lots of loading issues related to 'network connection' which in reality is fine but the game is not recognising.
Seems a bit sluggish, and overly confusing. Hard to keep track of what you need for what room. Also, keeps stopping/shutting itself down between rooms, making it even more difficult. I love Downton Abbey and hidden object games, just wish the game was a bit simpler to keep track of progress and such.
It's a slightly different way to do Hidden Object puzzle, but some ingredients for craft items are too difficult to get, and because I have to redo search on certain rooms really often just to earn those hard to get craft items, the game becomes very repetitious and tedious at times.
I really like this game but with all the issues of it crashing is driving me crazy. Now the game won't even open. I keep getting a message that says to check my service connection, yet there is nothing wrong with my service. I have closed the app completely and restarted my phone but same thing. I guess that's the end of Downton Abbey both show and game. Sad...
2/5/16 (9pm) - I was able to play yesterday for awhile but when I ran out of energy, I couldn't get back into the game and still can't. I wonder if anyone ever reads these comments and if anyone ever tries to fix the game? There hasn't been an update in a long time. 2/2/16 (noon) - I can't open the game on my Samsung Tab 4. It works fine on my ipad 2. Please fix it so I don't lose the several days in a row bonuses.12/26/15 (5PM) - I don't know what happened but after being down all day, I just got into the game. I love this game when it is working! 12/26/15 (8AM) - It worked fine last evening. Today it won't open. I have restarted my samsung galaxy tab 4 in hopes of correcting the issue but didn't help. I LOVE the game, when it works. PLEASE FIX! I will give it 5 stars when you do. Thanks!
Still some bugs. Crashes on game exit. Cant send/receive energy. Buggy, but good. Graphics excellent. Named items unfamiliar on a lot of searchable items, but hints help with that, which then "teaches" alternate word for items, thus expanding vocabulary. So that is cool. Irritating, but cool. Overall, good game. Will keep playing.
After the app update, everything worked fine. Why does it only go up to level 30? Several more rooms on basement and 1st floor yet to open. Now it says no network or wifi when there is. Please sort it all out. Now when I can finally get on to the game, I've lost eveeything and have to start all over again.
Looking forward to playing the game having enjoyed the t.v series. Cannot play games any more as there are so many problems from crashing to the graphics not loading up properly.
Loaded this game twice. First time, after spending money on diamonds and getting to level 28, the game refused to load. Uninstalled and reinstalled, lost all my progress, coins, inventory, etc. Second time I played without spending a dime of my own money and got to level 22 before the game froze and denied me access. I'm done. Downton is over and so is my participation in this game.
Played on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. Since I had to download google play games app, it crashes. It's also too big for the screen, I can't see the bars along the top. If game worked properly it might be a good game. It doesn't seem to flow properly. Everytime you play a room, the items you have to look for are the same, makes it boring.
The game is your typical 'find the objects' fare, with 'crafting' to be done for points/coins/diamonds. Unfortunately, it tends to crash quite a bit, and sometimes gets 'stuck' trying to load scenes. It's not completely unplayable, but can be very annoying. Meh. It's Downton & it's free.
This is a really large file, so if you download it to your android tablet...well, it lasted for about 2 games then it crashed and then it crashed my tablet all together. I'm sending it in for repairs, and luckily I just bought the tablet and it may still be under warranty, but just wanted to get the word out, some platforms are not meant for android yet and it should have said so...
Every time I try to enter a room the game shuts off. Please fix the problems!!!!!!!! Just got new tablet and had to start game over. It would have been nice if game would have transfered. I had just bought Dimonds. I should be reimbursed.
I would love to give this app a higher rating of 5 stars but it is constantly crashing on me. It gets about 75% loaded then crashes/force closes on me. I keep trying multiple times to get it to load but it just wont. Hopefully a new update will be released to fix this problem. When it was working properly I loved this game. Is anyone else out there having this issue?
I'm giving it a 1-star due to its frustrating and infuriating 'crafting' system. I spent days to find items required to craft a certain item and spent thousands of coins required only to get 'energy boosts' or lousy 'gems'. When you spent that amount of time to craft only to be screwed over by its stupid crafting system. Inventory system also doesn't help. No other Hidden Item type game have infuriated me more. If not for its crafting system I would give this a 4-star rating. Music's great and so's the graphics. Be warned to those who'd want to play this game as it is, it'll make you curse like a sailor.
I really like the game itself. But it keeps on crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice and after reaching Grantham's bedroom it just stops loading. Tries to start up... But keeps crashing...
Big download and looks pretty, but no item list appears in the bottom box so can only hit randomly at objects as I've no idea what I'm looking for. Other reviews from Tab S2 devices confirm the same issue. Disappointed.
I reached a high level and then it wont open the game, it is happening since this morning. I have no idea why, can u please fix it?
I've been at level 30 for about a week, and now that I'm trying g to unlock Grantham's bedroom, after having almost every other room fully upgraded, the game keeps crashing before it even opens. Please fix, as I really do love this game!
A BORING Game trying to find random Items in rooms of the House. I would've rather play the part of a new Butler/Maid/Servant and do cleaning/cooking etc Jobs for the main Characters. You also HAVE to be Online AND be connected to FaceBook! Why? It's just a Game...
Game is visually appealing and fun in theory, but the energy level drops off after playing 4 of the rooms, and there's no way to earn that back faster than to pay money or wait an hour. Also, so annoying to have to play a room ten times before you get an item needed to unlock a new area. There should be a way to trade items from your inventory or something to keep play moving faster. Get sick of replaying a room so many times; getting bored of slow pace of entire game. Need some tweaking gere game designers
The graphics are lovely and the gradually increasing difficulty is well-designed. The storyline is iffy in terms of quality, but the biggest issue is the difficulty in unlocking rooms. The required items for crafting are not easy to come by and too often the crafting reward is too rarely the desired article. I'm uninstalling the game after trying 2x to craft 1 of the 3 items to unlock the earl's dressing room.
I had installed the game a couple if months ago. I reached level 30, but you cannot go past level 30. I continued to play the game making great progress until the game would stop before it opened. I reported this to google which went ignored. Then I started getting popups saying I had to check the connection. The connection was good. I took a chance and uninstalled the game and reinstalled it losing everything! I am Not, NOT happy about this! All of my energy and diamonds were lost not to mention all of the rooms I had unlocked. The game is now back at the beginning. I love playing the game BUT I am Not happy at Not having been able to get back into the game and continuing to play where I left off.
Really enjoying the game now that it will actually load after recent updates. Still a few glitches, like freezes when click to watch ads for free energy, occasionally crashes. But on the whole enjoyable when it's working
This is a very well designed game and is a must have for any Downton Abbey fans! However, this game crashes every 5 or so minutes on both Nexus 6 phone and Nexus 7 tablet both up to date. The crashing really takes you out of the game. Will check back to re-rate when notified of a fix.
I could play the game for one day but then the loading problems came back. At "polishing the silverware" there isn't a connection to google play. So it shuts down the app at " cooking luncheon"
After more than 2 weeks of not being able to play the game, because it kept freezing, I finally had a few days of good play and now it won't load! Telling me I have no Internet connection!! Funny because I'm using the Internet now and I'm using it for all my other games! Ironically I'm pretty much back to the point I was at when I has to delete and restart the game last time. If I have to delete the game again I won't bother to put it back a third time, it's just a waste of space!!
I have been unable to play this game for over a month because it wrongly thinks there's a problem with my Internet when trying to load the game. I was having this same error after a different update and they fixed it for a while. I've reached out to the company and haven't heard back. I've spent a ton of money on a game I can't even log in to now. I'm very unhappy. Also, I feel like I should mention that the game crashes all the time when you're playing, but it seems to save your data.
ETA: 5/2016 So I got a new phone, a Droid Turbo, and when I installed my game, all my progress was lost. I went ahead and started over. However, now every time I try to craft the darn door knob, I get a message that my game is out of sync and it will not let me craft it. Please fix. 2015- It started crashing, however I've found the issue. If you're having problems, check and see if you also have CleanMaster. Uninstalled that and all is well again.
I see all of the reviews mentioning the game crashing. Hasn't happened to me yet. This is a simple hidden object game which I am enjoying so far.
The game was fun when it loaded. It would only load half way an then stop working. So frustrating that I just deleted the game.

Could be 5 stars if it didn't fail. It ceases to work long before one gets to the higher levels. Deserves zero because game eventually (sooner, if you don't already know several severe glitches to try to avoid) hangs up irretrievably. All progress and purchases are lost. Must uninstall and begin again.
