FarmVille is Coming to iPhone and iPad
FarmVille addicts rejoice! It appears as though the widely popular Facebook game FarmVille by Zynga is coming to iPhone and iPad.
Nothing has been officially announced, but the domains farmvilleiphone.com and farmvilleipad.com have been reserved by the same company that is responsible for the official FarmVille website. This could only mean that Zynga must be planning to make FarmVille available for iPhone and iPad.
The question now is whether Zynga is also planning on releasing FarmVille applications in the App Store, or if there will be strictly web apps available for the game.
So who's excited? Are you a FarmVille player who has been begging for access via your iPhone and iPad? If you're an ex-FarmVille player, will having mobile access bring you back to the farming game? Let us know in the comments below!

First!!! I am a farmville player and I was wondering when will they add farmville to iPhone ... I'm excited!!! Lol
This game is an epidemic like World of War Craft. It takes over their lives and hurts the people around them. Hold on I got to wake up at 3am in the morning to water my plants! NOT!
@Mustard - You don't water plants in Farmville...I play WoW and I play Farmville and I think it will be great to check on my farm from my iPhone.
This is Great! I mean really! I've waited so long and now there it is! Farmville oh the iPhone! This could really get interesting bcause in app purchase and farmvillecash.. I mean.. Just think about it! It'll be so much easier and more trust than tho online payment. Agree with me?
Sweet holy J**us no! But seriously, no, no interest.
Nooo'!!!
I haven't really got into playing this game but I hear more folks than I want to raving about this addictive app. Maybe I will fall in line with addicts on my iPad farmville soon. Come on April 30th.
Very excited. That would be awesome.
What about Apple stopping the development of flash to iphone games? Are they seriously going to re-write it from scratch?
How about cafeworld?
How about NO???!.... Just the name makes me sick
Maybe it will actually work properly on the iPhone. Flash is a nightmare online and the game is always having huge hiccups. Sometimes it's unplayable. An iPhone/iPad app would make the game worth staying current.
@Ferrigno I couldn't agree more.
Excited to hear tht.... I always wished this come true.
not interested for myself, but the g/f loves it, and she's inheriting my 3g when i get my G4 iphone
@Ron, that's the first thing I thought. Where's cafe world. I'm at level 78. I could play more if it was on my phone. I submitted this news to TiPb last night. Good to see they posted it. If I hear anything about Cafeworld. I'll send it to them. Hopefully they will post it.
@Tricky
Most likely, yes they will have to rewrite it if it is a native App. It actually raises an interesting question about 3.3.1, which says that the code must "originally" be written in C, ObjC, or Javascript. Even if Zygna rewrites it, the algorithms involved were written originally in ActionScript. Is that a violation of Apple rules? If not, why is it a violation, as most have alleged but Apple has not clarified, if a machine does the retyping (not cross-compiling, but translating ActionScript source to ObjC source) instead of a human?
Actually, since the transition from ActionScript->ObjC is much rockier than ActionScript->Javascript, Zygna should make the iPhone version an HTML5 webapp, or a PhoneGap native app, if HTML5 and Mobile Safari's implementation thereof are at all up to the task. Not only would it be a smoother transition, they would not be locked to the App Store for their release cycles, and, once enough desktop browsers (read:IE) support the necessary features, they could unify their codebase under a language and release cycle beholden neither to Apple nor Adobe.
I don't play farmville, but I am interested to know if Zynga is going to connect it to the FB version somehow. I play their game Mafia Wars and they've had a MW game on the iPhone for a while. Problem is, the iPhone version does not connect to your FB MW account and therefore you must start completely over using the iPhone app. Major let down. I wouldn't be surprised if the Farmville app is the same way. Don't get too excited.
You have got to be kidding me....lol @ALL FARMVILLERS!!! stop playing this game!!!
well i might just start growing pot in farmville and sell it in mafia wars
im an ACTIVE farmville player...and I've been waitN on this for a while...
I would love it. I hope it comes soon. It will probably be like waiting for the iPad 3G. FOREVER!! The Flash crashes are bothersome on every browser I have tried. Can't Adobe Fix Flash???
Nooooooooooo!!!!!'
We Rule is better than farmville for me.
Kept telling family members can't play farmville because I usually use my iPod Touch for face book. Oh well, all good things come to an end. Wait a min. may be I can pull the old too much battery drain, and my USB charging cord is just too short to reach the plug.
After I was late for work twice because I had to harvest my crops, I realized that I had become a slave to Master Zynga. I 'sold the farm' and haven't played in months. I feel bad for my chickens, cows and whatever else I had on the farm though...
I finally had to "hide" farmville updates on my facebook page as about 75% of all updates... were of course farmville!
Not a bad idea though to make an iPhone app for the game.
YES!!!! This makes me incredibly happy
@Tricky and Dev
I've been hearing html5 ever since people wanted it for their phones and Jobs is adamant about flash.
Bought an Ipad for the three hour train commute everyday only to find out I cannot farm. Please, please, please add this app soon!
Just because they register the domain names dont mean they are making the apps available.. we need a bit more info than that.. and id thats your only clue then its a far stretch.. maybe they just want to keep the brand name away from others ??
very excited. I am now hooked to Social City because it is available via the iPhone. I hope Zynga comes out with their iPhone version for FV. Love the game so much!
If Zynga makes this available for the iphone/Ipad i will go out and purchase a ipad, that would be awesome.
this is the best day of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I have been using the iPhone app “Farmer’s Hero” for about a couple months now and love it. It is an app that collects the bonuses your friends have published in your newsfeed for you while you are away from Facebook and puts them in your giftbox in your Farmville game. I run it on my iPhone while I’m at work and also when I’m sleeping. It’s the next best thing to being able to play the actual game on the iPhone! http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=295637190733
FIRST i love framville very much
It's funny people talk bad about the game but there on the site where it's talking about farmville coming to iPhone/iPad so.... I think they play the game. STOP TALKING BAD ABOUT A GAME U PLAY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
no cost on the net flash games 247
Luv fv bt dont have an iphone and cant get on 2 fv right now coz im at a skool! in hols!
I am working on an app that will tend to my farm. It will logon while I am away and take care of watering ,etc. Eventually I hope that I hardly ever have to do any maitenance myself. My migrant apps will the farm keeps chugging along. What's the point? I will be able to sleep at night without worry.
May be you are right.I think it is a good archive.Thank you!
They work with piping systems, install sinks, tubs, and other kitchen fixtures and bathroom fixtures. A plumber also gives plumbing estimates, does general maintenance, and can work on waste disposal systems.
