I really thought the last mystery prize would be awesome/ And would at least give some cash, but that's what it was.. an animated untradeable (hopefully at the moment) slot machine... Please BVG I've played for so long... make it worthwhile. :heart:

Same here! & I stopped spending money on it when I unlocked the last slot mach & reached the last level for the match 3 game. There is no point to keep spending only to get same lame prizes & can't continue on to more levels. Not worth opening my wallet anymore for the app. It has become boring. I also noticed now that we can trade the prizes which were already in store. Funny how we don't get the costumes anymore lol.

BVG, please change out the prizes and not use in store items. If I'm going to keep spending rl money on this app I expect to win prizes that cannot be purchased in the store. They should be exclusive imo.

It's a dumb app. Don't waste your time. Its an app that has nothing to do with whats going on in Yoworld and just another way for BVG to make money.

Of course the owners of YoWorld want to make money, It's a business........... You dont think someone got in trouble and is doing community service just for you , Gregory? Do you ? ROFLOL......

Well no of course I dont think it should be community service but at least make the app so that it's compatible with the actual Yoworld. Calling it the YoWorld Mobile companion App was just a lure for people to launch the app thinking its actually Yoworld. I suspect it's actually the first phase in doing away with the web version. The reason I say this is because it's very noticeable that BVG seems to be invested in new players rather than trying to hold on to the players who have been here for many years.

I play the games on the companion app, I haven't noticed any of the 3 of a kind slot wins that pay more than the amount bet...they all pay less... Most real life slot games have a few symbols that will pay more than the wagered amount...so, I get the feeling this app is another way to get players to purchase YC and coins (especially since coins and YC can only be transferred out of the mobile app and not into the app from the game- if you want to play with YC it must be purchased via the app. The only way to gain ground earning coins is to have multiple win lines or hitting a bonus game. I myself don't like playing a slot game that isn't responsive to my input of stopping the reels when I click stop. When a slot game doesn't immediately respond to my input (a click on the stop button or reels if touch responsive) that is a good indication that the result of the spin is predetermined and doesn't take any kind of skill for a player to win or lose...it becomes the developer's choice. I usually walk away or block a casino that does this...or definitely quit spending my Real Money there because it's like paying to spin and not get anything out of it except less money than you started with. Just thought I'd let you know what I think about slots that aren't player responsive. And also,...I don't know about the first two slots, because I didn't check their pay scale from my wins, but I've been checking my wins against the pay scale in the Atlantis game and I believe you need to correct your pay table screen because it isn't paying what it says. According to your pay scale, 3 yellow triangles should pay 300 playing a 1X bet (100)... I won 172 for hitting 4 yellow triangles, 3 dark blue gems, a different 3 dark blue gems, and 3 yellow triangles (four different paylines)...if adding up per your pay table, I should have received 1500 for the 4 yellow triangles, 500 each for the 3 dark blue gems (1000), and 300 for 3 yellow triangles totalling 3300...I won 172...none of the pays are as stated in the pay table. I did notice at the bottom in real fine print, it states "All symbols pay left to right on active win lines except Scatter and Wild." Could you please explain what the reference to "Wild" means in that? At first I thought ok...maybe we don't get paid for having a wild in your payline... then why does that line highlight as a win line? And I did get 4 turquoise ovals (without any wilds)...that the pay table says I should have received 2500 for...but I was paid 300 for the win. Please explain how your pay table works.
I didn't know the match 3 game was the rainbow colored jewel icon. Is there any kind of a directive a player can read to familiarize themselves with what the icons represent and what the intent of the games - in other words, what benefits the player to play it. A few days ago, I found the match 3 game...which I found to be fun and an excellent source of earning more coins to feed back into the slot machines...since the slots are the only way to advance on the "ladder" of the game. But then I hit a point that told me I couldn't play the next level until I reached Level 25 in the Mobile Companion App. :grr

That's when I noticed the only way to advance a square (level up) on the ladder was to 0 the countdown of how many spins were required move to the next block (level up)...(something like over 3000). I thought the app was supposed to be a way that we could send our winnings earned to our YoWorld game...you must've been referring to the prize items. In my opinion, level advancement would be more fun if it went by our winnings and the slots were player responsive. It would then be a challenge to learn the slot and advancement on the boardwalk wouldn't depend on how much we purchased from the app. So...I've been cut down on my play on the app because the little amount given every few hours doesn't cover but at the most about 31 spins at minimum bet and possibly a few more depending on bonuses hit in game...then I realized we could earn coins from watching videos...but I guess there's a limit on how many we can watch in there too cuz this morning when I came on there were 0 available for me to watch. By the way, the ads in the mobile app are a lot more fun to watch than the ones I've been given in YoWorld!
Would be nice if there was an introduction/instructions to the app. :eh:

But maybe you just want us to grope in the dark so you have more time to develop games for advancement? lol :idea:

I enjoy playing that match 3 game but when we can't go any further because we haven't reached a certain level, it would be nice if we could replay the games we've played and earn more coins...even if the amount is only half as much as we earned since we've already finished that game or even if we could only gain more coins if we topped our highest score on that particular game...I wouldn't mind playing some of those games over again because they were fun and a challenge...but see no reason to if no coins or anything (like advancing on the boardwalk) is earned from playing it.
I also wanted to let you know that on the bonus game for the Atlantis slots, I chose a shell (second row up, first shell) and it wouldn't open-tried about 5 or 6 times to get it to reveal...I finally chose another shell...but it didn't open up to reveal it's prize even after I was finished choosing like all the other shells did. Might want to look into fixing that. Call me paranoid, but it made me feel that it was a nice prize you didn't want me to have. :haha:

Just wanted to give my opinion about the mobile companion app because the survey you gave us for our opinion came out way too soon for me as I hadn't discovered much yet about it due to my lack of exploration I guess and had only played slots a few times so most of my answers on the survey were "no opinion".
