A delightfully jovial game, let down by miserly levels of reward. If you're a fan of the cartoon, then definitely take a look.

In the end, the biggest problem with this game is that it's charmingly vapid: the exact opposite of Lauren Faust's reboot of the franchise.

Regardless of a few downsides, My Little Pony – Friendship is Magic is still adorable, addicting and too much fun to pass up on exploring-especially for the diehard fans. Get ready to go on a fun-filled adventure in this free-to-play and incredibly cute title.

I've become quite addicted to it, and it's a great way to ring in the new season of MLP this weekend.

Slide to Play

Unless your eyes are good, you might prefer to play it on the iPad, as some of the text is can be tricky to read with the fonts used. Nonetheless, we can't complain too much as the game is free, and while it does allow you to purchase certain in-game currencies, it feels less necessary than even some games which charge you for the purchase, making this a must-try for MLP fans, "Bro" or no.

But if you're active in the MLP fandom and you have cash to burn, it's probably worth the money and effort necessary to make a town that's worth showing off. Friendship is Magic, but envy is a heck of a motivator, too.

Enjoyable title but with flaws, you have to spend over 200 bucks to finish the game or play 14 years straight every day. Not joking. it's true. *curse you 150 character minimum*

I liked it, but it did a poor performance on my iphone : -( Also, to unlock everything you have to play like forever, and i find that a little greedy and not appropriate.

That game is relying a lot on microtransactions and Fear Of Missing Out. Since 2018 I'd say, they have toned it down by making some event's last reward a gem shop or gem pony (something that will give you the premium currency every day), but they upscaled by a lot the price of ponies. I would advise you to check the Dark Pattern page on My Little Pony: Magic Princess, which is fed by real players too. When you start the game, it'll be very long, boring to farm, little rewarding, you'll see a lot of events you won't be able to finish (unless you pay with real money and even so!), and you'll be tempted to wake up during the night to succeed at some events, which I find disgusting for a game that is meant to target little girls in priority. After something like 2 years of game, you'll be able to participate events and succeed as long as you connect once every two hours (with a fair margin of 8 hours sleep), but still won't be able to afford many ponies you **** for me, I have been playing daily for 7 years, I have 1027 ponies and I am producing over 100 gems a day, yet I still have to restrain myself from buying everything I want. Also I still can't win most competitive events, but I can win the timed story events with a margin of every day 8 hours sleep and a whole day. But there are currencies (bits, hearts, shards, dress tokens...) that I have too much of and can't properly spend for something useful. About Fear Of Missing Out, the timed story events (those with the purple coins or the sapphire currencies) come back the next year after their first release, then a third time a couple years later and rarely a fourth time; the hotel ponies, rewarding fun, calendar rewards come back quite randomly but you'll surely get it next time if you at least stay in touch with the community to know when it comes back. Sales and competitive events are even less predictable, save for thematic sales like the children's day, the Pie day, the Labour Day, Halloween... but the game does reward you for being there daily and punishes you for missing a day, for instance with the calendar reward or the seasonal stores. The minigames (especially the crystal mine and the Equestria Girls ones) are old and get boring after a while; it seems the programmers who were doing these are long gone and they didn't find so far someone to refresh them. They are still adding new ponies (though nowadays it's mostly clones), new mechanics (like recently they added pets in the game, the find a pair minigame, the critter farms,...) so I don't think they're going so bad as to worry about the game closing anytime soon. But it's very frustrating to see them ignore old good features like pony editor, in favour of something like transformation. They also make limited use characters, like the ones that farm tokens for a seasonal store, you won't find them farming the same token next year, once their event is over they're just as ordinary as all the other 1994 ponies (as of April 2025) of the collection. They also are limited with what they can do with canon. They did invent characters, scenarios and transformations that don't exist in canon, but they can't take anything from Equestria Girls unless from the first movie (what a shame, there is so much good content), they also don't have the rights for gen 5 it seems (though Gameloft does have the rights to produce Mane Merge, an IOS match 3 game) but they have the whole series, the comic books and the movie. Also, they were caught red handed stealing a fan's fanart, and promptly fixed it several days later, while offering a refund to people who already purchased the character. But they do like suggestions and the support is very receptive. They don't have many glitches in my opinion, too.They also have two types of monthly subscription, which do speed up the gameplay and skip all the ads (I don't know why, but I never see ads I didn't specifically clicked to see, while some other players have banner ads and sometimes ads appearing after just closing a menu, anyway both subscriptions skip all ads). In my opinion they're not very worth it, or at least not every months. I wouldn't be able to keep a high productivity to go with it for more than a month in a row, I would need a break! No, if you want to encourage the devs, or just have some advantage in the game, go buy a gem shop like Discord's Pumpkin or Manehattan Jewellers, which are exclusively available in real money bundles. But in the end, do you want to give more money to Bolloré? I am conflicted because the devs seem to be less conservatives and more okay with things like canon lesbian characters.

I'm not a brony, but my brother is. The game is decent, but there's WAYYY too many in-app purchases. Implementing features you have to pay for in a "free" game is an incredibly scummy thing to do.
