### 4/5 — Almost best game ever

*2021-08-26, version 1.4.1*

It’s almost the best but I think classic should have more levels and I also think that you should put the rating up so early so people can get used to it and see how they really like it

### 4/5 — Decent

*2014-08-01, version 1.2.1*

It's a fun and addictive game, but its just the problem that I feel the bubbles (or chain reaction) go away too fast so it's harder to hit a good amount/score. Would recommend to friends.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2014-05-03, version 1.2.1*

It's lots of fun, but I wish it could have more levels.

### 3/5 — Nice game

*2014-01-23, version 1.2.1*

### 1/5 — Worth the money, not worth the time.

*2014-08-23, version 1.3*

What a disappointment. The app doesn't even open. Glad to know that y'all are powered by Unity, but that wasn't worth the time it took to download.

Running on iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

### 1/5 — Unhelpful (-) stars

*2013-07-21, version 1.2*

Non educational

### 1/5 — Advertisement ruins game

*2013-04-29, version 1.2*

Fun game but the ad is ridiculous

### 1/5 — Got bored

*2012-08-11, version 1.1*

More levels please

### 1/5 — Ads Are Horrible

*2012-06-01, version 1.0*

Having The ads cover the playing area is not nice!

### 2/5 — Too easy — I miss Booneshine

*2022-09-30, version 1.4.1*

Nothing like boomshine.
It’s much too easy. Loved everything about boom shine which is no longer on the App Store. The challenge, the music — miss it so much.

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2013-07-06, version 1.2*

It's a very basic version of a chain reaction game. It's not particularly well done, as the modes repeat themselves. Good for a minute or two, but not much beyond.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2013-03-27, version 1.1.2*

Eh it's not terrible...

### 2/5 — Tastes Funny

*2013-02-24*

Actual game play seems OK enough so far but app leaves a bad taste in my mouth:  Crowded, ad-filled display gets in the way of controls; One very limited free level is NOT enough to base a rating on; however, the app forces you to rate it before you can play anything more; then it appears that Facebook registration is the next mandatory requirement to continue playing; then cash.  Way too much Quid Pro Quo.

### 2/5 — How can I rate it when I've only played 1 level

*2013-01-30, version 1.1.2*

So...really can't tell u what I think because they r making me rate it before I get a chance to really play it. So far it is extremely simplistic with no challenge to it at all.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2018-07-26, version 1.4.1*
