Is it really that HARD to double tap when someone helps your trees/bushes??

I am getting annoyed at the lack of kindness from people. I HELP as many people as I can, but yet when the postman comes he just shrugs his shoulders and hops on his Scooter and rides off into the sunset :( When you help someone's boat you automatically get a thank you note sent, but when someone helps you revive your trees and bushes you have to double tap to send a thank you note. Is it really that HARD to double tap the bush/tree and send a thank you note to the person who helped you. It's the least you could do seeing they spent the time and effort helping YOU.

It seems odd that you would get absolutely nothing!

I automatically double tap just because I want my trees growing again as fast as possible. I was not aware that a double tap was required for a thank you note.

That said, my automatically double tapping all this time would lead me to believe that most people double tap.

I know I get a ton of thank you letters and all 5 gift cards per day, every day.

If you help 30-50 times per day and this has been an ongoing issue, I would contact support.

I always double tab them, but it is a needlessly tedious process.

We should only need to click once to both revive the tree and send the thank you note at the same time.

When you do a heap of revives at once it's rather annoying clicking on it all twice.

I agree - it makes no sense to have the revive and sending of thank you notes as two separate steps (maybe it's a technical thing).

I've also found that the double tap doesn't always "take" and I have to tap again, so it ends up being 3 taps. Maybe that's what's happening to the OP.

Double-tapping has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time; especially when you can just tap once on picked-up townies to clear them off your station.

Fascinating. Until this moment, I never counted how many times I needed to tap to make the avatars disappear and allow the plants to grow again. So I harvested 2 trees and 2 bushes and flagged them for revival. When I saw the avatars, I slowly tapped them and counted the taps before the avatars disappeared.

One, no
Two, no
Three, no
Four, yes!

I repeated the experiment and 4 taps were needed again. Are you kidding me, Team Hay Day? :)

Addendum: Just did the same experiment 14hrs later after my post and the avatars disappeared after 2 taps.

I will check again next time, but I only need to tap twice, methinks?

Are you sure? If you don't tap the boat crates filled by people who have helped you, do those people get a thank-you note anyway?

I always thought it was weird that reviving a tree is a guaranteed way to get a thank-you note (since people have to double-tap to get rid of the huge avatars and to get their trees growing again), yet when you help with a boat, people have the option to not send you a thank-you note.

Are you sure? I've tried it in the past with my second farm. Tap once to revive and leave the avatar waiting for a second tap to send the thank-you. It takes a while (several minutes) but it does disappear.

Also never needed more than 2 taps to revive and thank. Avatar still hangs around for 2-3 seconds.

Well, now I'm not so sure! I think I tried it once when I really disliked one farm's name, and I didn't want them to get a gift card from me. Didn't go away for hours. I'll try again today with one nectar bush.

EDIT: I've just tried it, and the avatar does go away after 2 minutes or so. Maybe this was introduced after I tried it 2 years ago?
