Zynga puts FarmVille on your iPhone

The most popular Zynga game on Facebook is now available on your iPhone and iPod Touch — FarmVille. The FarmVille app is now free to download at the iTunes Apps store.

The game still connects to your Facebook so it can pull off all the data from your farm. That means the state is in sync both on the iPhone and your FB. I tried installing it on an old iPod Touch and the game seems to lag very often. See the video below:

Since the iPhone/iPod Touch has a limited display, Zynga had to change how you interact with the screen. FarmVille will prompt you to a tutorial/walkthrough the first time you login so you’ll know the touch commands for harvesting, plowing and all that.

I’ve stopped playing FarmVille for months now but I’m kind of inclined to check out my farm again because of this app. I think FarmVille’s position as the top game on FB will remain and even grow just because of this app.

I heard that it’s slow, unless you’re using an iphone 4.

ndi pa naman siya nagcrash. actually ok yung performance niya. problem is you can’t zoom out.
you won’t be able to view your farm.

Been using it since day 1. Hassle lang, not all features are playable. But the free gas makes it all worth it! Lol!
