I'm shocked that I won't be able to complete this game unless I pay extra. I would have paid money for the app, a fixed amount.

This I am sorry is just LDW taking advantage of the customer and dare I say it ripping them off.

Of course they will say that the app is free, but your going to pay much much more for 'Plant Bucks' in the long term if you are ever going to complete the game.

Also not having the Stats in app, and as indicated in an other thread, why not use a pencil and paper to keep track. That to me is just shifting responsibility for a feature.

Pedantic maybe, but it's clearly an issue which for me is tarnishing a very good game.
