Leave a Review Bejeweled Blitz
Really a bummer
I loved this game for years, and decided to delete from my phone a few years ago to free up space. I was always ranking well and earning jackpots and lots of rare gems and prizes when I stopped playing. Just downloaded it again a couple weeks ago. Like finding an old friend ... AT FIRST. Still fun to play, but even with high scores, and after playing hundreds of games, never won a single gem jackpot, on the 9 spots to chose - when chances should be 1 in 9. When I win the daily challenge, half the time (like just now) I don’t get the rare gem even though it says I qualified (cat lights up and meows on far right). I select BANK IT, but it is NOT added. You have to pay pay pay to play with gems, which you need for all the contests, and the good gems are $100K plus - why aren’t they given to you as they used to be, for loyal (paying) strong players??? I can go to Vegas, I don’t need it to be in my phone, too. Deleting again, but won’t be back this time 😔 I really loved this game - look at my user information guys, you’re going the wrong direction, for sure, and you have to reward the paying, strong players.

FINALLY!!!! WHOO HOO!!
Like so many of the other people on here who complain—and KNOW—that the chances of getting the Grand Prize were rigged, I never got it either despite playing thousands and thousands of games. That is, until tonite!!! I finally won it!! I couldn’t believe it!! I hurried and took a screen shot so I had proof cuz I didn’t really believe it. It doesn’t make up for the 4 times recently when I should have won the 1500 gold bars in the Gold Masters game because I got the highest score, but it didn’t record it. Nor for the time this week when I did win the top prize, but for some reason it only gave me 1000 bars instead of 1500, but at least the developers showed that THEY ARE LISTENING TO US AND READING THESE REVIEWS!! Here’s hoping they share the wealth and others of u will start to win the grand prize like I just did!!!!Show lessflamingo2626
Absurd level of pay to win (hundreds$$)
Title says it all. The utter magnitude of money required is actually insane. If you want any chance to even get to the middle of a competition expect to pay hundreds $ or grind for years. The disproportionality is what is so staggering, and exactly why I don’t waste time with app games, but this is NEXT LEVEL PAY TO WIN. It WAS the only app game I’ve ever played bc there was real visual acuity skill to be gained and there is too many apps that are pay to win. I played thousand plus hours, since early days. Now, unless the greed lvl comes down substantially, I’m done. The game revolves around competition, but uses boosts. If u don’t max them you can’t compete. To fully upgrade just 1 of the 3 boosts allowed in a game it takes MONTHS OF DAILY WORK or YOU CAN PAY ROUGHLY 75$ plus to do it via roundabout in game purchases. There are 9 boosts so do the math. Naturally there are always ppl who think paying to win makes you a winner so if you aren’t willing to drop a few hundred dollars on the game there is literally ZERO point playing. And don’t be fooled into thinking you can eventually skill your way to the top. I’m a professional gamer, and I can push 2 matches a second but it literally means nothing. The algorithms and money decide who wins.Show lesslittlestormyq
Developers - PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THE POOR REVIEWS!!!
Blitz Developers - please pay attention to the poor reviews - especially the recent ones. I have some of the same issues most of them have:
1. Never getting the jackpot when playing special gems. I certainly don’t expect to get it one out of 9 times, but at this point I have played HUNDREDS of rare gems and NEVER gotten the grand prize. Once in a while you gotta let your loyal players win.
2. In the new Spin feature, let the players watch two ads for two additional spins ever 24 hours like you used to do on the old spin feature. Odds on the spins get you small numbers of coins most of the time anyway, so why not at least offer a few more chances to spin each day.
3. The events are not showing much imagination. Please change the rewards more often. I liked intermediate rewards of gold bars and shards that you did at the holiday season. I don’t need more coins - I’d like to be able to get shards and gold coins in some way without having to go to the champions events. I enjoy the champions events but there should be some other way for players to get shards and gold bars.
4. I like the happy hour and special offers store ideas. However, again, please have some of the happy hours provide sales on shards and gold bars, not just coins. As I said, I can get coins plenty of ways and will NEVER spend money on coins or rare gems, no matter what the discount or special offer.Show less2old2sk8
Is it random or is it not?
I believe that parts are fixed as so people can not win. A perfect example is the bonus you have 9 choices to choose from to win, well if you always choose the same spot occasionally you should win you would think right? NO!!!! I choose the same spot EVERY time and I NEVER get the top prize and I am not saying I should get it often but at least once out of 1000 tries yes after all there are only 9 spots that means all 9 spots should be a winner occasionally well that is not the case with this game (and now as more proof of the fixed Can’t win I JUST PLAYED AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 1000 attempts I CHOSE TO PICK ONE OF THE OUTSIDE 8 SPACES AND THE CENTER CAME UP SO THERE IS THE PROOF!!!!! First time picking a spot other than the center and the center came up)... so if that happens in the bonus round what about when you play the game. If it is made so you can’t win bonuses is it made for you to win and advance in the game?
Your game is fixed against winning and receiving bonuses.....Show lessHotchef13
Discouraged
Blitz has been one of the best games out there and as all my favorite games succumbed to greed, I had 2 left: Angry Birds and Bejeweled Blitz. Then Angry Birds needed to be deleted from my phone. Now, it’s Bejeweled that will get the ax next.
Some of the tasks have become IMPOSSIBLE to achieve and I have yet to figure it out. FORCING us to equip and use Rare Gems before we can advance is a horrible display of greed. FORCING us to play 25 Blitz Championship Games before we get the new boost? No bueno. And this last update, messed up one of the tasks. Every time you press play, it redirects back to the Special Championship Blitz game board! There’s no way to achieve the ridiculously high Total Game Score, even if one is willing to do the work. I’ve really had it with this game. The Daily Game and Daily Spin... I don’t even want to get started on that topic, as my blood pressure will blow up. So many of my friends are
I’m disabled & cannot get out so I made sure to have plenty of games, books & crafts to keep my mind off of the pain & to entertain me... and now, I’m getting ready to delete this one too. And I’ve supported this app monetarily...and not in a small way. PLEASE FIX THIS GAME?
Thank YouShow lessJudo4me

Thanks for your support! We Appreciate it!Mostly fun.
This is a nice game to play against friends and letting you try to best each other’s scores for a week is sweet. The mini games against strangers for coins, shards, etc. are nice to. There is a daily game that allows you to win coins and gems to use but it is very unreliable and crashes often. I’ve learned to know when it would crash though. If I am more than halfway to the score needed to get the coins and gem, with more than 30 seconds to go, the game is going to crash and kick me out to my phone’s home screen. When I go back, there is a 10,000 coin fee to play that particular game again. Due to it happening once or twice daily, I can only give 3 out of 5 stars.
p.s. - At the end of the game, when going for the grand prize, never pick the top, right corner. I play about 10 games daily, have picked that spot every time for this entire year and the grand prize has never been there. I’ve seen it ever place but there, so we’re approaching a statistical impossibility.Show lessJimmy Legs 316
UPDATES
I really like playing the games on my iPhone. I don’t, however, like feeling as if I’m being jacked. By this I mean, if the game is advertised as free to download, it shouldn’t be any ambiguity. If I put in my Apple ID password and I’m now on my credit/banking information. Why? If the game is advertised as if it’s free to play, then it’s free or you should make it clear that it’s “NOT FREE”. I’ve been just deleting the games that I’d long ago downloaded simply because I pressed the update because it seemed the only way to keep playing. NOT! So, there’s no OPT out button or the “X” and an update shouldn’t be used to try to fleece people. I can do crosswords for free. I’m insulted by your pitiful attempt at surreptitiously charging me to play a game that btw, you also cheat on. Like Subway Surfer, they just stole all of my points, lives, etc. in that specific game. They still try to get me to update but I have the option of pressing the “x” to continue playing the old version. People are BROKE ENOUGH AS IT IS, WE DIDN’T GET THE TAX BREAKS BIG CORPORATIONS GOT. SO NO THANKS, I’ll read and do crosswords, writing, etc. I won’t be extorted because I happen to like a game that was free when I downloaded it. Mama was right, greed begets GREED, no wonder the people who are that way are so miserable. WOW!! CHILD OF THE CREATOR OF ALL. I SEE YA’LL. JUST REALLY WHACK!Show less1QueenoftheNile
Too greedy
I used to love playing bejeweled but now its just completely focused on micro transactions. I get it, everyone needs to make money but what frustrates me is that in your description of how all these new in-game currencies work you state that the gold bars can be used to buy coins, spins, and chests. However they cannot actually be used to buy coins; they can only buy spins and chests which are random....
Additionally, the entire game is focused on using these rare gems now, which have gotten so ridiculous that the entire map is just exploding the entire time and im not even making matches and playing the game, the board is just auto-clearing the whole time. So stupid. I remember when it actually use to be a challenge to get a 1m score, you had to get two blazing speeds by actually playing the game and make your own matches. Not to mention that the *rare* gems were actually rare and you got them randomly. Now they are always available to buy, very expensive and are required to enter all these challenges youve created.
Can you please just create a mode that is reminiscent of the original bejeweled blitz? Like a challenge mode with its own leaderboard where you have to buy your powerups and there are no rare gems, or maybe just a cats eye.Show lessLaxenater

Hello, thanks for sharing your opinion. We value your feedback and suggestions. While the option to play without Rare Gems is still available in the game, we'd urge you to try the new Blitz Champions mode. It has varied rule-sets that make the game more interesting and challenging. We'd love to hear your feedback on the same. Thank you!A Developers Tale w /Pics
I like some of the new features and the option of playing the new world wide version of BEJEWELED BLITZ. But now the game has become tedious and unfriendly due to all the unresolved app issues..
Earlier Today, I lost 2 diamonds, 3,513 chards, 3,280 gold bars, 6,197,226 coins and #1 spit on the LEADERSHIP BOARD w/ a high score of 16,400,300 due to the TASKS/challenges working improperly. These are some of the same issues from 6yrs ago as stated in Bejewels rating and review data. Ridiculous!
I also have a few concerns, such as the cost to buy ADDITIONAL spins, chests rare gems etc.....they are waaayy too expensive particularly for people who are on a fixed income like the disabled, or children, or college students or just your average hard working citizen who maybe working pay check to paycheck. Furthermore, some of the tasks require you to match 10 hypercubes in a game or reach an outrageous high score of 11 million in a game. The app often freezes up, steals your points, money spent and rare gems without any responsibility or accountability from the developers. If your not going to fix the bugs, repair and or update the APP then PLEASE remove from the App Store.... as this app has the potential to Rob/Steal people’s money spent on buying more PURCHASES!
I would appreciate a response and a satisfactory resolution...Give me my stuff back or make it right.... I have pics of the above data.Show lessShowstopper007
