So Frustrating!
This game is very addictive but also very frustrating! I have never seen a game this impossible to finish levels in. I can spend literally hours and days trying to beat a level and it is literally impossible. As much as I play, I still have never been able to finish a weekly challenge. The first few levels are easy but by the time you get about half way through, they get nearly impossible to beat. I am a very competitive person and it infuriates me that I can’t finish- EVER. The other thing that is horribly frustrating is how the stupid ads lock up the game. I have the data turned off so the ads don’t come on when I am out of my house but as soon as I connect to my WiFi they are back again. Some might say it is my phone, but it does do that for any other game I play. Right now I am trying unsuccessfully to finish the challenge for the week and am super frustrated, so it is getting a one star. I would give it a zero if I could!Show lessmefyo
Good but frustrating.
There are times when this game is a lot of fun to play, and also others where it becomes really infuriating.
It’s possible to make good progress with the first few levels, but soon you get told there is no space available when your score is very low, and this repeats a number of times, before suddenly things change and it becomes very easy again.
Had a game where a only one more of a certain colour was needed and the game didn’t put that particular colour out at all. It simply kept adding blocks with colours has already been completed.
The ads are also a major pain, and there should be an option to skip these, especially when you’ve already watched State of Survival 20 times!Show lessGarry Durbin

Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We will pass this onto our Product team for consideration with future updates. Any other suggestions, please let us know!Really is a B.S. Game in the end
Will admit I enjoy playing it, but after about 4-5 rounds, the frustration of only getting 3 blocks at a time and not see what is coming next always kills a great game and eventually you’ll need to just close it and move on. This game never allows you to calculate risk when setting the third of the 3 delivered blocks. You can set areas of the board up and the game can progress and progress and you never get delivered the piece to clear cornered or areas you have prepped. It’s almost as if the game traps you in to keep trying to clear one section of the board. Decided to write this review after the last game just closed down. I had the upper left corner and basically left side of the board prepped for any number of pieces and went through multiple rounds and the game would not even deliver me a single block or double block. I highly doubt the pieces are delivered randomly. No block games being developed will ever match original Tetris.Show lessnoahzarc1
Far out the Ads!!!
I love this game, good brain workout BUT the ads are all to do with husbands cheating on their wives and kicking the wife and kids out of the home with the mistress on his arm. If it’s not those ads it’s ads about killing, not the sort of ads you would expect from an app that is used to wind down. Improvements on the app need doing, would be nice to see what block is coming up next as no one I know has managed to score over 2500, gets boring when you can’t break the ceiling. I feel this app is just designed to lure you into other apps. I would rather pay for it and never see another app again to be honest. It’s just ewwwShow lessBrizminx

The game has a very annoying tendency to give you pieces you can’t use, so you lose, not because of skills, but because the piece selection is flawed. Of course, some of the strategy involves planning ahead for the odd piece that may not fit, but sometimes the pieces are so random you can’t do anything with them no matter how skilled you are. I made it to an upper level that I tried too many times to count and finally gave up. I was simply never enough pieces to succeed.
I tried to buy out if the advertisements, but there is no place in app to do that apparently.
The app endlessly crashes during the advertisements. I’ve had to download and delete repeatedly. As others have noted, once you go so far, you never get the shapes you need, no matter how good you are at strategizing. Seems like it’s just a set up to get you to watch advertisements.Show lessVu-tang
Love the app, but game keeps freezing
This is an addictive app. I have different versions. I like the brain challenge, but it is so annoying when the game freezes for 5-10 seconds and I can not move any of the pieces. Often I have to restart the game. I’ve tried closing and reloading, doing a forced shutdown of the iPad, but nothing helps. What causes it to freeze when it’s time to move a piece? Also, the number and frequency of ads is so annoying! And some games like Brains n Balls don’t have a “silent” button, and so can’t play this in bed or anywhere while waiting! Why not offer a paid version w/out ads? Let us buy it once, not a monthly charge. Also, I HATE all the FAT ads! They are not true and there is no pill that can create those results. PLEASE eliminate these ads!Show lessClassof65

I love this game. I have enjoyed the increasing difficulty. I don’t mind having to replay games over and over again in the journey that is new every week. I never get to the end of a journey, but it is a great relaxing game.
Two things have changed in the last few months:
The developers increased the daily challenge from 10 diamonds to 14. That means it’s no longer a quick “sit with my coffee and enjoy the game” before I begin my day. I routinely have to play it to several times. The other change, and this may be a dealbreaker for me, was that I paid a nominal fee to be ad free. Not only does that option no longer exist anywhere I can find it, I know have ads all the time. It’s not about the money, but it is. I paid for an ad free game that no longer exists. Very, very disconcerting.Show lessNimbleHen
Frustrated
Used to be a good game and enjoyable but ruined by your inability to tidy up the faults - too jerky - ads cannot be got rid of - often freezes and one cannot do anything but leave the game and come back another time, which one does not always bother to do! - now totally spoilt - about time you either pulled the game or did something constructive like sorting out the problems, that is always assuming you have the required skills and ability to do this which one questions. What is the point of having a game when it is impossible to get rid of an ad so that one can continue to play the game, it becomes pointless - sort out the problems if you have the capability do do so which one is beginning to doubt!Show less?A?C?E?

Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We will pass this onto our Product team for consideration with future updates. Any other suggestions, please let us know!Not random and too many long ads
There is a consistant lack of smaller pieces provided the longer you play, as other reviewers have stated. It means you have to replay Journey games over and over and over to finally complete them.
Furthermore, the number of ad screens has increased from 2 to as many as 11 or 12 since you have to touch the super tiny ‘x’ to get back to the game. The difficult button means you switch back and forth between the ad and the download screen over and over and over until you hit the ‘x’ just right. Far too many interruptions for this game to be fun.
Also, there is no way to silence the ads unless you turn the sound off on your phone. You can silence the game sounds in the app but not the ads. That means no playing in bed, at work, or in public (ie. waiting in line or in s waiting room) without turning all media and phone sounds completely off. This causes all sorts of problems when opening the game and forgetting to toggle all phone sounds, alarms, audiobooks, etc off before starting to play.
And there are not enough days allowed to finish the journey activity. 5 days to get through 45 levels, each of which have ten or more ad pages after each fail and between levels.
All in all, the game is fun even though the parts dropping in to be played are far from random and the ads take up so much time and are
splittingly loud. Exceptionally fristrating.Show lessCsmoferret
