Farming Simulator 23 Mobile
reviews and complaints

Please add a larger plow, it takes forever.

Please allow fences and traffic to be destroyed or broken down, tractors get stuck on them which slows down game play and is very frustrating.

Allow placement of lighting, very hard to see the fields without turning the brightness all the way up and draining battery.

Would love to be able to purchase limited items, build building to store vehicles and materials.

Personalize it and allow to have a dog, able ti paint equipment and buildings.

Thanks for listening

I love the game is amazing improving all the other games since 2008 I think you can correct me if I’m wrong but anyway I love the game I play almost every day but there is a few things that I would like to change about it but then again it’s whatever you guys think I know we have the forklift but I would really like to add front loaders for the tractors it’ll be pretty cool but like I said it’s whatever you guys think I was just wondering also it gets corrupt sometimes so please fix it from-epic gamer 100110

Overall, not a bad game. Personally, I believe FS20 has better graphics, features and is overall better quality. FS23 lags way more than all the other FS games. Judging by the images they use to lure you in, it makes you believe the quality is that of the pc version….it is not. Had I known that before spending $8 on the game, I would have spent $8 on coins in FS20. I believe Giant could have done better on this rollout and hope they will make some needed changes for those who have already purchased this game.

I love playing this game and have been waiting for it to be released for about a month and a half. It is a joy to play and is the best version by a long shot but there is one problem. I already preordered the game for eight dollars and now the best quality items cost real money. The worst part is it is all individually priced so you cant buy it all in one pack. Each piece of equipment that you have to buy ranges from a dollar each up to three dollars. Two dollars it the most frequent though. Pretty disappointed.

I loved Farming Simulator 20 and didn’t mind spending some money to enrich my game play. So many things wrong with this edition. It’s too slow. Machines might as well run in reverse for all I accomplish. Because 2) everything costs way too much money. The price to purchase a field is outrageous - can’t even dream of accumulating enough game cash to buy anything! Farm equipment and land is way out of reach. Luckily, I bought a reasonably priced gaming computer and downloaded FS 22. I’m deleting this game forever.

I would give this game a 5 star rating but i am experiencing some bugs mainly related to game saves.
1. I noticed that when i quit my game save there is a black screen or the game crashes and i loose my save or progress sometimes.
2. Optimisation improvements could be done because i am on the i phone 14 plus and there seams to be some lag on medium graphics.
3. The AI worker menu needs to be fixed because i have to close and reopen the menu for my vehicle to be selected.
Overall great game just needs some optomisation and updates.

Farming Simulator is an amazing game with amazing detail (still wish there was terraces though). But having a PAID game that also has IN APP PURCHASES completely destroys the point of making the game paid. If it was free it would be a completely different story, except it isnt. So for the love of god Giants Software get rid of the IN APP PURCHASES for all our sanitys sake or make the game free and give the people that paid for the game all the tractors that are behind a pay wall. 2 stars for the good game but not 5 until this issue is fixed.

This game is another great expansion on the series, but I personally don’t like the fact that there are numerous vehicles and tools that you have to pay real money to use when your already paying 7.99 for the game itself. But other than that it’s an amazing game with many great things to do.

And devs if your reading this please add more John Deere and CaseIH vehicles and tools. I love having a John Deere or caseIH themed world so having more vehicles and tools to help me do that would make me give this game a five star rating instead of a four.

I’d give 0 stars if I could. Seriously, huge disappointment. With FS20, you buy the game and then your set to get farming. No more paywalls. But here, you buy the more expensive game and then you have to spend upwards of $20 to get the better equipment of each type. Resorting to EA Games’ level, Giants, your supposed to be better than this. In reality, this game has a couple lackluster new features over FS20. Just get FS20, it’s actually a good game.
Also, what’s with the limit to the amount of equipment I can own? Why do you want to limit the progress in-game?

Did anyone play this before it went out? I’m trying to hold a phone or iPad and the controls are so awkward it’s not fun to drive. Acceleration bar is too long and too close to the edge of screen. You can’t hold the device and operate it comfortable. Too much lag in start and stop. Very first version had the best controls. Please add the ability to move the resize them. And remove the need to hold the acceleration unless you want max speed. Every tractor I’ve driven I use a bar next to steering wheel for speed and it’s move and let go. Seldom using pedals as the game acts as if you are doing.

This is a really good farming game although if you didn’t read the other reviews it’s still a bit laggy from release date but it will get better giants always does good but I do have one problem in this farming simulator (which if you didn’t know is also on console) is there isn’t very many large size tractors like in the other farming simulator and if there is you have to buy them so that makes me a bit mad because you can’t be the best you can be without paying money besides that tho the game is good a lot of people are saying they can’t play it but I’m on a IPHONE 7 plus playing in medium graphics so I don’t get that but amazing game Giants made here

The game is great but there could have been more options here like allowing to create your own fields or allow buildings placement so you could create you own farm I know it a mobile game but there definitely could have been more options here the price point to play is worth it too me as my kids like playing it but I feel like it was more designed for kids then adults but there should be more in game options but other then that it is a great game I do like there there more then one map in this version I do think it is worth buying have not put it down since I purchase it; it nice to lay down on the couch and play when I not in the mood to play FS22 on my computer.

Does not seem like much of an improvement over FS20. Game lags on my iPhone XS. Equipment selection seems more limited than in FS20, and as others have mentioned, paying to unlock items is irritating (I did not see this mentioned as a feature prior to release). Possibly my biggest gripe is with the AI. To get the best yield possible you have to apply fertilizer twice and spray with herbicide. The AI for spreading fertilizer or spraying with the larger sprayer is worthless. The AI misses large chunks of fields (AI spraying with the smaller sprayer seems to work ok). The AI works pretty well for planting, cultivating, and harvesting. I’m not sure why fertilizing and spraying cause such issues.

All in all this is a really great simulator. There are loads more things to do in this simulator over FS20. I’ve barely gotten started and haven’t even scratched the surface of what all you can do with this edition. However, and I hope the developers see this, I’ve had several game freezes since I’ve started. I’ll just be going along driving down the road to sell products and the game just freezes. I have to force close but luckily so far it’s saved up until the freeze, so I don’t lose anything. It’s just really annoying to start getting into a groove and then it freezes. It’s not every single time I play but it’s enough to warrant including it in my review. Don’t let this scare from purchasing the game, it’s still a lot of fun, just needs some tweaking. Hopefully an update will be available soon to address the issues.

I have all six farming simulators on my phone right now- 14, 16, 18, 20, 20+, and 23, with 12+ hours on each. Admittedly I don’t have much time on 23, but so far my experience has been sub-par. The graphics seem far worse than 20/20+; almost toy-like. It’s great that the landscape is 3d, but the Neubrunn map felt empty and basic.
Another issue I have are the paid tractors. This was something that annoyed me with FS14, and that the last 4 version has fixed. After spending $8 on the game- which is more than it has ever been- at least give me all the tractors/combines/etc. Farming Simulator has been my favorite game for 8+ years on mobile and computer, and this most recent version seems to take a few steps in the wrong direction. FS20 is my favorite, and even after spending $8 on the new one, I think I will continue to play the last generation. Here’s to a great FS25.

I Absolutely Love The Farming Simulator Mobile Series, I Have Had Every Single One Since 2014. Farming Simulator 23 Mobile Is By Far The Best One Yet. By A Long Shot. BUT, I Have Just 2 Complaints. #1: The Fields Grow At The Same Time Every Day, I Can Be Half Way Planting A Field And Whatever I Just Planted Will Have Grown The Second It Hits That Time. Makes My Fields Grow Oddly Uneven And Takes The Realism Out Of Growing Crops. This Even Screws With Me Trying To Fertilize. #2: During The Night Hours The Game Gets Extremely Dark. Which I Understand Because It’s Night Time But The Headlights On The Tractors Aren’t Bright Enough To Be Able To See Where I’m Going Or What I’m Doing Unless I’m Actively Using A Tool. I Feel As If The Headlights Should Be Brighter Or The Screen Shouldn’t Get AS Dark In The Night Time. These Are My Only 2 Complaints Of The Game And I Have Tons Of Hours In Already, I Highly Recommend This Of All Mobile Farming Games. Now It’s Time To Find The Other 8 Toys….

I think this is a very well produced game, a ton more activities to do than the last couple games. Feels like you took the console game and put it on mobile. But what I don’t like is the fact you specify new tractors and make it seem obtainable with the $7.99 price and maybe some coins in game if you didn’t want to grind. What you don’t say anywhere is you have to buy those tractors with not coins but real money. A total of another $23 to get the more desirable equipment and bigger tractors. Just be ready to spend upwards of $30 on a mobile game, and we’re not talking any coins yet. I’d give this game a rating of 5 stars if it wasn’t gouging the pocket books, but for $30 I feel you could have done better. FS2020 was free and I only spent $5.99 on coins to get all the land and all the tractors. Yes, I’m aspects its more detailed than the older farming simulator games but it also lost depth like the maker lights look like a pixel instead of seeing them clearly, also in FS2020 you can read the warning labels on the equipment, in this game it’s too pixelated. Over all opinion good game, but expensive if you want the full experience.

farming simulator as a franchise has been losing its magic over the past few years and this is just another piece of its downfall. a few changes could make it go from bearable to remotely enjoyable.

1 -
performance - the game appears to lock itself to 30 fps. it would be a nice option to be able to set it to 60 or even higher as the M2 iPad Pro would be able to handle the task. i also see others complaining about performance on lower end devices which is a whole other issue.

2 -
keyboard + mouse support - since this game is just a watered down port of FS22, surely it wouldn’t be too difficult to introduce keyboard and mouse support on iPad? it would make this feel a lot more like a “real” game.

3 -
seasons - the inclusion of seasons in game appears to be purely visual. again, as this is a port of farming simulator 22 it would be nice to have a difficulty option where seasons influence the game outside of visuals.

4 -
microtransactions - this is the biggest problem i have with this game. this is an $8 mobile game, which is already pretty steep for such a watered down version of a nearly 2 year old game. you’d expect to be able to drive every vehicle included in the game, but no. there are certain vehicles in the shop that must be “unlocked” separately for about $2 a piece. this is very disappointing to see in such a pricey mobile game that’s already missing so much content from its original version. lose the microtransactions, giants.

I cannot express in words the amount of disappointment I have in Giants right now. It’s a foul taste in the back of my mouth. Not one single farming simulator game that I have bought has ever charged additional money for the in game items. At no point was it implied or stated that this game would be any different. This isn’t like some expansion pack released a few years down the road, this is charging for access to the game and then charging additional money for other equipment and vehicles. Guys, I bought the game! Pre ordered the game, why do I have to pay more money for the game? Not just more money for the game, but more money than the game costs originally. Go ahead, total it up. This means anytime you update or add something later, yup, it means you plan to charge additional for that too… I wouldn’t feel no where near as betrayed had it been a couple bucks for a dlc pack later, but this… the already downloaded and installed base game items being monetized is outrageous. The disappointment I have right now has completely overshadowed my initial excitement because the game appears to be your best effort yet on mobile. I cannot and will not reward this. I hope I am not alone in this. We people vote with our dollars and by the dollar. If you purchase the in game equipment, you only incentivize this behavior later and it will get worse before it gets better. I didn’t even see this coming from you Giants, it’s completely against your tradition with other releases. I will never preorder a game from you again.

I like the new maps, pretty happy with the industries and inclusion of grapes and olives, chickens are a nice addition compared to previous installments. Now that all of what I like is laid out I’ll get into my gripes. I’m not happy with paying 8$ for the game then faced with another 50$+ of micro transactions to unlock the other 30 pieces of equipment from the advertised 130. Maybe package the other 30 pieces together as a dlc that costs another 5$ but advertising 100+ pieces of equipment then locking it behind a price tag 5x more expensive then the base game seems like a bad faith practice. I would give this a pass in my review if the equipment that is 2$-3$ a piece was something really new and exciting or somehow special but so far everything I’ve seen is just the end game equipment from fs 20, I would have preferred leaving the endgame equipment as included with the game and add in new better equipment to serve both types of players. I just want to buy my game and play it, I don’t want to pay for the game then be locked into a grind or buy faster equipment that was included with the base fs20. Another issue I have is with the implementation of orchards, not being able to plant or place them and only having a limited number is annoying and again just barely meets what was promised. Yet another issue is the lack of plows, only having one plow and a small plow at that seems like a big oversight considering the lack of settings to augment field states and required field work. To get 100% yield you need to plow but are locked to a single small, slow plow as an option. These are pretty big issues that previous fs games handled much better, I appreciated being able to buy fs 20 and just enjoy the game, I enjoyed adjusting settings to avoid annoying and menial field work like plowing, it was great to open the shop and just buy the equipment I wanted instead of being faced with a 15$ price tag for stuff that would previously be purchased with 1m of in game currency. Hopefully some or all of my problems are just temporary to allow the game to be released on time because it’s seriously jaded my view of the franchise

I bought a grape field and now it’s telling me I don’t own it?

They should add new cars like trucks is only one truck in the game

Ever since my iPad got the 16.5 os update the game freezes and crashes now.

You HAVE to spend money to get some tractors and stuff witch this is already 8 dollars

Won’t work on my iPad. It worked for the first day then stopped. I even deleted and reinstalled.

Cmon, they save the best equipment as payware only. You can’t save up to get it, you just have to pay money. Bummer

They made the highest end trackers only usable unless you buy them with real money. After already paying for the game i was not going to waste my time.

Where’s the tour, silage facility and what’s up with the lagging? I’ve been around here since the first release of fs14 and this is about the same. My opinion is, your on the right track but released way early!

Still no multiplayer and a lot of the vehicles you have to pay real money for this game was built just for people to spend money. Don’t buy this game it’s trash. There’s nothing new and there’s nothing good about it.

You guys need to fix the crashing issue. I am done playing for a little while so I go to quit the game and save it but it crashes immediately after I click “quit game” and I’m losing so much progress over this issue. Please fix it ASAP

I’m very disappointed that they added micro transactions to get the better equipment. The game costs $8, while I’d pay $20 if they just included all the vehicles, I’m not going down the route of paying $1 for each piece of equipment in a mobile game.

In-game coins can't be inherited from any other save, which is equivalent to another save where you have to re-spend if you need coins. In-game vehicles can't be acquired for free once in any other save and you have to spend in-game coins to get them. In-game purchases are all one-off

They make u pay 60 bucks for Nintendo Xbox and ps4 games I never had any work on my ps4 are on pc nothing works hope Nintendo version at least has mods and hope they add them to mobile
Giants software has a lot to make up for to get back on my good side I have played 14 16 maybe [protected]

The game is great but there are so many things that would make it better the forks on the forklift should be able to pick up bales of hey if u flip a vehicle over it should be able to pick it up but the forks go through the vehicle the snow should accumulate great game tho love y’all’s farm simulator games

Positives - I like the chain productions and two different areas.

Negatives - The game was more expensive than the previous which I understand for development costs but I would have thought the higher cost would have also included all the equipment! No, you have to shell out another $23 for all the other top tier items. This is a money grab to do that. The previous version included all the equipment. Why isn’t this the same way?

I have played all the farming simulators since 2016 on console and mobile. this is by far not my favorite. first the game is $8 and when i opened it and played it i was thoroughly disappointed in the quality graphics button placement and design. there are so few options for tractors/cars/trucks/havesters in the game it was disappointing to play in my opinion 2018 mobile was the best. i wish i could get a refund save ur time and put ur $8 towards cigarettes or something.

It runs fast but it uses a lot of battery power
