Farmville is arguably one of the most successful games of all time, gathering almost 53 million active users per month. And with so much popularity behind the game and name, there’s bound to be atleast some developers thinking of porting a clone of the game onto the iPhone platform. Most have been quite unsuccessful if not hopeless; some notable ones including iFarm from Playmesh.
Tap Farm from Streetview Labs, the makers of Tap Defense, seems to be a different story though, being without “Playmesh points” or other unnecessary things. And best of all, Tap Farm is free for all users to play. Another notable feature I found with Tap Farm is the ability to visit neighbors, and while I’m not sure if they are actual players from around the world, it’s still cool nonetheless.
You also have the ability to earn more coins to buy more patches and fruits by downloading Streetview Labs’s other games including Tap Out and Tap Defense. Overall, the system was quite seamless with little to no loading times, and it almost feels like Farmville on my iPhone. I haven’t gotten far enough to tell whether you find baby cows on your farm or chocolate milk cows, but so far, it seems to be quite an interesting Farmville clone.
If you’re interested in these type of farming tycoon games at all, Tap Farm seems to be a noticeable standout from the rest. I’m sure there will be more developers jumping on the farm tycoon bandwagon soon, but for now, Tap Farm is one of the best available on the iPhone. And for free, you really can’t complain.

I can’t seem to move objects to a new location? Does anyone know how to do that?
um you just go to the thing in the bottom right hand on side and click on move and then just click on the onject you want to move and tapp where you want it
how do you harvest trees? It wont let me use the harvest tool.
I have picked the move arrows and I can’t move trees either, is there any other way to move them?
follow the steps above its very hard you have to touch the corners
Tap the very base of the tree trunk to move or harvest trees.
Me neither. It’s almost impossible for me to move the trees, even when I tried tapping every single corner of the tree. it must be a very stupid thing of the game.
I can’t move or delete animals is there a way to do it?
How do you get money from the Get Coins? When I click in it, it does nothing!
How do you find neighbors other than the standard farm that doesn’t have any activity? My brother is in the same network as I, so shouldn’t we be neighbors?

How do you get magic beans
It is ssoooo hard to move stuff.if the items don’t get cheaper and it stays so hard to move stuff,I’m done with it.Also why can’t I sell my items?anyone know?You get magic beans by downloading apps offered under the coin button on tapfarm!
To sell stuff use the remove tool. to move stuff tap on it twice it works for me.
