Keep coming back

This is a great game you can play continually or leave and come back too. One of my favourites that stays on my list.

everytime i leave app it restarts

i love this app so much! and i will still give it 5 stars regardless it is my favorite stress reliever game. but tonight i just got the new 3160 app update and everytime i leave the app even for a minute to answer a text, snapchat, etc., it will refresh to the home page of the game and i lose the level i was playing.......before in previous version it gave an option of resuming the level you were on. if that is not available anymore that is okay but to only leave the app for a minute and come back to a refreshed page everytime is frustrating. before you could leave for a good amount of time maybe 10 minutes or so and it would still be on the level you were playing. hoping it could be a bug and may be fixed soon ? thanks !

Too slow to add levels

I’ve give this game 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that it is too slow to add levels. Perhaps it’s because I play it all the time (the game is addictive) but I keep running into the situation where I’ve beat all the levels and then I have to wait 2-3 weeks for there to be more added. Also, the events are too short and are always over before I have a chance to complete them. Why not make them 2 weeks at least? It’s getting frustrating and I don’t know if I’ll keep playing.

Gotten to be worse! Not worth the trouble at higher levels

This was my favorite game! No longer. I’m about to delete this. They used to have levels that were difficult but not impossible. They had lots of power ups and coins and lives. Then, I don’t know what happened to the developers! They didn’t like us enjoying this game I guess. I’m on level 940 something.. and I have to play each level at least 30 times before I can somehow manage to scrape through the levels, even when they are green levels! I have to use all my power ups multiple times. It’s been so frustrating. They make special events and I used to complete them all. Now I haven’t completed the last three events because in 7-10 days I can barely cross 1 level. So it’s been really frustrating and I feel sad. Why did you have to destroy such a good game? I don’t consider this worth a headache. Look for other games.

Hello dear player, the key to leveling up sometimes lies in finding little tips, we think you have great potential and that you can find them easily. You can also get some advice on our fan page.😁

Update. Aug 29. Sound works

I discovered that I had to let the game go farther in the game then the sound kicked in. It’s a very cute game and so far I like it but I just started it. Will write more after I have a chance to play it more but so far so good.

Looks like a cute game but I have absolutely no sound. Yes my volume is up. Yes I tried another game on the same iPad. Actually two games that I have and they both play sound. Has anyone else had a problem with no sound?

Love it!

I’m totally obsessed with this game. I play it for hours. So much fun!

One of the best match 3 “design” games out!

Great game! Many extra rewards...free lives, unlimited lives, power ups and coins. That’s what separates this from other games like this. I don’t mind spending money when I’m getting rewards daily, and not just the typical log-in reward. Just out of the blue they’ll give them to you. Not too difficult either, only the odd level.

Love this game but can’t do anything right now

Awesome game but I’m up to date on all of the levels and I just tried to open the game and I can’t do anything it’s just the living room from the start and nothing to click, the host lady isn’t even there?

Be careful, updates will erase extra lives

Let me start by saying- this game is my favorite. That being said, the newest updates I’ve downloaded have knocked out extra lives and bonus scene progress which is super annoying when you have amassed a bunch of lives and progress for weekend sprees, and suddenly it’s gone. If that gets fixed and lives stop disappearing, I’d give 5 stars hands down!

Cheating and Gouging

I have put up with the frequent crashes that also take one of your lives, even though you may have been beating the level at the time. And yes, when you return to that level the winning move has mysteriously disappeared. So you lose the level, and another life of course.
But now you cannot “save” lives as before. I have been stockpiling my “5 life” wins on spins or gifts for when I needed them, for a total of about 30 lives. So I just went to use these lives and all but 5 are gone. Yes, they have been deleted due to a new policy which doesn’t allow you to accrue more than 5 lives, or maybe 10 under certain circumstances. I obviously didn’t qualify for the 10 life “bank”. Don’t you think it would have been sporting to let us keep our saved lives and use them, and to notify people about the policy change as well? I had to find out about this by searching out this info (listed as: Where did my lives go? or something similar).
I have foolishly spent real money playing this game but I see it was wasted.
Don’t trust this company and don’t spend any money on their products.
