I haven't used the exit button a single time since I started playing this game. I always left it via home button and closed the app by swiping it away. Worked just fine.

I agree with camper's beaver. The exit button was always used to safely exit the game. Mixed feelings on exiting the game this way.

[Camper's Beaver]

Kinda neutral about this, as it feels quite weird without the main screen to me.

True, I guess we could have digging patches like we have plots. Buy small patches, place them wherever you want them, buy something like Farmer that allows you a dig all/collect all and the you go.
Guess it could be the same for diving. In my case, that would mean I'd fill the whole water area though, but a dive all option would be splendid. And to have something done about the shells. Yes, I want the xp. No, I don't want to place them individually and then delete them one by one.

I guess forgot to post it/not ready to do so. Because it should have mentioned the planet fix, for example, if it had been a complet list of the fixes for the two most recent updates.

I also feel that the previous developers took their time on anything that would help players but certainly acted promptly on anything that helped thier bottom line. A dedicated digging patch would have made resources easier to get, while a desire to get rid of the ship animation may have encouraged people to become a VIP and earn Feathers.

I think we all remember that any bugs the benefitted the players were closed almost as soon as they found out about them, yet any bugs that benefitted the game itself, well those were just so hard to track down.......

Yeah, that might be one of the reasons. The same as when peoples ask for digging/diving patch which they said cannot be done (so that they continue to purchase EOs or anything for resources).

I hate when they said it cannot be done when we have examples that it can be done. Loading animation for island (but not with feather) and can't make digging patch (but they can do farm plots)

I'm in no hurry. Bongfish can take their time and make it happens sometimes in the future. I'm happy for these changes they made.

Yes I know Spelling Bee said that it's incomplete on 1.48.0. That's why I'm asking if 1.49.0 is the updated one or they simply forgot to post it

[Silver]

So true. I like the way it is now. The faster we can get into the game would be better.

If peoples want the Smurf's Village title perhaps Bongfish can put it on the first screen (along with Bongfish logo)

[Cupcake]

I agree with you on this, Evanna! Shorter is better!

[Evanna]

Unlike supersmurf, I am glad for how fast I can get into the game now. I see what they mean, but I appreciate that I don't have to slowly load the first screen, then the what's new one, and only then get into the game. I don't know if adding the screen again but with just a start button would make the loading time significantly shorter than before. Personally, I am glad the screen is gone. So 'Thanky You' from me for that.

[Evanna]

I guess one of the pros of Feathers is that there's no ship animation. Maybe that's also a reason they keep it? So that if people don't want it they have to become a VIP and buy Feathers? (Just guessing. Also no idea if Bongfish ever thought anout this at all, but it could have been Beeline's motivation.)

When I asked her after the last update, Spelling Bee told me that she doesn't have a complete list and can't make a post because of that because Bongfish still want to check if the things they fixed/tried to fix/change work as they should. Don't know if that changed by now or if the post will be skipped.

[supersmurf]

I noticed the general improvement that has been done and I appreciate it. But I don't like the absence of a Logo "Smurf's Village" at the beginning of the game; just to enter immediatly is not a good idea, I don't see other apps (among my favourite) that have "abolished" the title card. So I hope you'll put it again, just with a only "Start" botton, but an introduction should be reintegrated.

[Silver]

Thank you Bongfish! I really like that the game loads faster. Loading screen is indeed so much quicker! Visiting each area is very fast now! Perhaps later we could have an option to skip dreamy ship animation (Beeline told us it's not possible in the past, but I didn't believe that).

Btw, we haven't got 1.48.0 bug reports. Is it the same as 1.49.0 ?

Thanks so much @Spelling Bee

Why don't "@Spelling Bee" change colour into blue?

[Morning Sky]

Maybe the gifts don't arrive.

Still can't visit most friends on android. Their outdated villages are still showing and therefore say they need to update. As is my village still showing old levels..
But I can visit AND even gift some Ios friends.
