Nice farming, crafting game with special events
I’ve been playing Funky Bay for close to 3 years and have enjoyed it immensely. It has the basic, clear land, grow crops, decorate your island and populate it with fruit trees, animals and craft buildings. There is a submarine for under water clearing/exploring, an expedition ship to bring seafood, and other islands to explore. There are also special event quests of exploring. And there is a weekly regatta for competing with other teams. So the gameplay is all very nice. The problem is, the game seems to have been put on autopilot and abandoned. There hasn’t been any new content in over a year. The max level is 100. We previously had a weekly gift of which choices were given and voted on over at the game’s Facebook page. There was a dolphin nursery, now gone. The submarine and special quest events are on a cycle. It’s all very repetitive. So while it’s a nice little fun game, I would not recommend it unless you see that it has been updated recently. As of this writing, the last update is showing as a year ago.

Nerfing the market
I have been playing the game for months now. And really enjoyed it. Finally found a fun and active neighborhood to join where we worked together to complete tasks and help each other out.
Now with the latest update they have totally nerfed the market. Instead of players buying and selling with each other and the market updates every 10 minutes with several players with multiple bins of items they have replaced it with one that has 10 bins. And those items don’t change for 6 hours unless you spend 10 gems to get new items. On top of that where we had basically from over 100 possible bins when buying from other players we are down to 10...unless you spend gems to additional bins. The items they have vary and you cab find items that sold fast in the player’s market and you pay top price for them which was common in the player’s market as well. But you could also sell items at the highest price as well. Now you sell to no one (so you can’t sell to mates in need) but you can sell through your silo and barn...at the cheapest possible price. This also caused the regatta task to sell items to go away. One of my favorites to perform.
Updates like this one will kill the game off because l am sure it is only the first in more to follow down the road to make you pay to play to get anywhere. I will give it some time to see what happens, but if money l spent on the game is going to upgrades like this...l will be keeping my money from now on.

Lots of bugs, NO customer service
I love the concept of this game! However, there are many many bugs that make this game so frustrating it’s not worth investing time in anymore. The challenges are impossible to finish or to make any progress on unless you spend money for gems to clear land. There is a gem trap on the challenges in the form of a pop up box that will pop up quickly at the same time you are clearly land and suddenly you’ve accidentally clicked on this random box and lost all of the gems you’ve worked hard to collect. There is a coon trap in the store where you click on items to buy, the store takes your coins, but you never get the items. Add to it the multitude of other problems that happen on a daily basis in this game and it’s worth taking a pass on spending time with an unreliable app as this seems to be. I have contacted customer support several times for lost items on my account. I never receive any response back except a predrafted response telling me how busy they are and how updates have been made. What updates? Where? And please tell us how that is helping the issue we are coming to you about! Telling us you have made updates without resolving our losses is as good as the zero response that I have also gotten in the past from support. Players, do yourself a favor and skip to another game that isn’t trying to scam you.

Cute but buggy
This is a cute game. I love the concept, the characters, the tasks and games, the islands. But it is buggy, even glitchy. The market is full of items that are already sold, making it nearly useless. Many players have complained but there’s no response. The cost of items increasing as you move up levels is ridiculous. An apple tree should cost the same on every level. The in-game chat for neighbors works sporadically and is very limiting. The islands are cute and I love this separate game, but the cost to clear them is high. Again, complaints from everyone but silence from the developers. I’ve paid real money for them in the past, as I want to support the game. It’s at the point that I am not sure that I will give the game any more money until problems are fixed. And finally, the regatta. Fantastic concept, I love it and my neighborhood. But it needs an overhaul. The tasks are too low in points to make a serious run for placing in top 3, and this is after an update. So they made it harder. And there are teams, regularly from outside the United States, that rack up impossible points in the first few minutes of the race. It’s impossible, so something is going on. And again silence from the developers. I love this game but it needs attention, and the developers need to start communicating more than silly polls on their Facebook page.
Infinity38,
Very fun game but HUGE bug makes it implayable
*EDIT* The problem was not fixed with the new update. The load screen still gets stuck at 22% and says “unable to connect to server.” I have contacted the developers on multiple occasions to either no response, or to be told to access the settings in game (which I can’t do because I get stuck on the load screen.) I’ve contacted them through both Facebook and email with no fix or to be completely ignored. Their customer service is atrocious.
I downloaded this game a few days ago and was instantly hooked. It had several things I have been looking for in a game. Several hours after downloading it, I connected the game to Facebook and was immediately booted from the game and upon restarting the game, the load screen was stuck at 22% and would not move. I contacted the Funky Bay Community on Facebook messenger and was told to go into the menu and report the bug.. issue is, I CAN’T get into the game to do this! I told them as much and have not gotten any further response. I deleted the app and redownloaded it, which worked but I lost all of my progress. After several hours, again I get booted and when I try to renter the game, it gets stuck on 23% and tells me it cannot connect to the server and to check my internet connection (which is fine, every other app requiring internet works fine.) Please fix this bug! I would love to continue playing and re-review to give 5 stars!

Developers have become greedy... sad & mad
UPDATE: Somehow they’ve become more greedy ~ which I did not think possible. Planting crops cost money and are no longer doubled; the game constantly crashes, cannot get into underwater adventure or a lot of the island games. Don’t waste your time or money. Play farm bay instead. Harder game but doesn’t have the issues this one does!
I used to love ❤️ this game. I have spent a kings ransom playing. Funky Bay will not only be cut off from my pocket book, but also my time As time went on, the prizes for finishing in the top 3 of competitions became lackluster at best. No sense spending my hard earned cash for this anymore This latest update completely ruined it. They’ve ruined any point in belonging to a neighborhood. You cannot help anyone. The market used to be awesome, now you sell to the game for 1/20th of what they charge for the same item. Boat orders used to provide tools to upgrade your barn and silo. Now you must purchase them from the crappy market for gems, which you have to spend real money on, if you don’t want to wait a week to accumulate 5! Sorry Funky Bay - I have created a Farm Bay account and will spend my time & money there. You had a great concept you have managed to destroy with your greed. Shame on you! I hope all players vote their disappointment and disgust of your changes with their pocketbooks 🤬. I know I am

AlexM555,
It’s a good game but...
This farm style game is pretty good but does have some elements that are maddening because it is not necessary for it to happen. Case in point, the Funky Market... you click on it and the market pops up with what looks like to be an assortment of items for you to click on, BUT even if you click on them immediately, there is NOTHING to select... everything is sold! My gripe is, why don’t the developers exclude all those that have sold everything from the list display. Only include things that are actually available at the moment. Yes, I know the stuff gets picked right away, but when I click on something that has 10 minutes to go, there is literally NOTHING in all the selections at the moment I click on it. That is not realistic, and it is frustrating.
I got this response back from the developer which gives me the impression that they either don’t want to fix it, or they don’t know how to fix it...
“Hello! Thank you for the review. We are sorry for the inconveniences and problems with the game. We are working on market and hope that we can fix it in future versions of the game. We understand your feelings and we are truly sorry that we cannot resolve this issue right now."

whyttyger2001,
Great game, but...
At first I was absolutely in love with this game. Leveling up was easy and it didn’t take a lot of time to make production items. Now it seems like it takes forever to make things because you have to wait an hour or more to make some things just to be able to wait longer to make something else out of what you just waited so long to make. Also, where are all the shovels?? I get lots of saws from gift boxes, but after I leveled up a bit, I stopped getting any shovels in the gift boxes. This makes it impossible to remove the nectar bushes that I need to produce honey, which I now need to make several production items. Now I have to spend gems to buy shovels if I really need the honey, which is becoming more frequent. I would like to see this aspect of the game replaced with the ability to just remove the expended trees and bushes. I already have to pay coins to buy them, I should be able to remove them without wasting the hard-earned gems. If the developers were to change production times and make removing trees and bushes easier, I’d almost definitely give this game 5 stars. As it is, it’s just another farming game that gets impossible to play without dumping tons of money into.

Waste of time and money
After a year of playing and spending quite a bit of money (because they make it impossible to play unless you spend actual money)and glitch after glitch after glitch they recently updated a couple of the games features that literally everyone on the Facebook group I’m in including myself HATE!!!! And it makes it really impossible to play anymore...for instance one ring to buy is now 675 coins when you sell one you make it’s 67 coins🙄 you can’t talk or help your team members anymore so all this time everyone took building friendships within their neighborhoods is a waste there’s literally no reason to have a neighborhood anymore...I could go on and on but what I’m getting at is the creators are just money hungry and don’t care about making a good game which I kind of already knew but after this new update they have completely ruined any fun I had playing the game so there goes a years work and money I spent trying to better my land for nothing!!! Also let me add I have written to bug report numerous times, once because gems I bought with my actual money just kept disappearing from my account like A LOT of gems and they takes MONTHS to respond if they do at all and it’s just always the same automated message never actually fix anything!
Goozed4,
Nice graphics/glitchy game
I loved this game at the beginning, the graphics are great compared to other games. I like the regatta task and side adventures games but there is so much that the developers can’t seem to resolve all the constant glitches. The timed adventures were fun but not anymore due to amount of energy clear areas. I have never made an in app game purchase until this game because I wanted to finish one of their adventure games, that’s how much I enjoyed this particular app. But I was charged double of what I actually purchased. Luckily, I was able to report it to Apple and was refunded. One of the most frustrating part about this game is not receiving a response when sending a bug report. I lost 100,000 coins earned from the side adventure games, reported it but only got the automated generic email response that my report was received. My other reports also went through the same process, and still no resolution. I’ve only been playing the game 2 months and will be throwing in the towel. There are too many issues.
