How to Play

After downloading the app, players start off in the Stone Age and must help the game’s family of four rebuild their lost farm on the remote, deserted island they’ve been stranded on. Players must grow crops and craft goods to trade with other game characters, customize their farms, and take on different quests to advance in the game.

Family Island is compatible with iOS and macOS 11.0 or later. The app store app currently supports 15 languages, including English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.

Consumer Satisfaction

On the Apple App Store, Family Island has a customer review rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, with many users praising how fun the game is and labeling it as “addictive.” Some of the grievances for Apple users include high costs for in-app items, too many pop-ups and ads, and how long it takes to finish tasks.
