And the option to start bigger is unfair. Because I don’t want to watch an every single game. And the people that starts bigger always win because the ones that doesn’t have less chances of winning. ### 3/5 — Can’t purchase boosts *2021-03-09, version 1.31* On the iPad mini I can’t purchase boost because the buy butting is below the bottom. New iPad mini lasted version 3-9-21 ### 5/5 — Good *2020-08-17, version 1.31* It’s so fun it’s so satisfied two me 🥰🥰🥰 ### 1/5 — Playing against computers? *2020-07-03, version 1.31* I like this game a lot. I would give it 5 stars. But I‘ve realized that you aren’t always playing against the same people or even real people? You can start with or without starting bigger (which requires you to watch an ad). You can watch half the ad and quit it in the middle and still join the game. If I don’t choose to start bigger by watching an ad, I get to start immediately. But if my opponent chooses to start bigger, they must watch that 30 sec ad. So why do we start at the same time when I forego the advantage?? Then there are instances where I take the advantage. And I doubt everyone else waits for me to watch my ad to start. They start immediately. Time wise that is impossible. I think we are all just playing against computers. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-05-05, version 1.31* They don’t tell you about power ups, more experienced players take advantage of you, I think after you get world domination you can’t have power ups used on you it’s not fair, if they do. It’s impossible to by skins or power ups based off where the screen is located. I’m not even near some players and automatically it’s like x player can eat and take your beads. Very very very very (did I mention very) glitchy:( ### 1/5 — ADS🙄 *2020-04-14, version 1.30* I downloaded this game a few years ago and There was barely any ads! Now there is a game after every game then IN THE MIDDLE OF UR GAME THERE IS AN AD! I literally feel like I’m watching an ad every few seconds i get annoyed and close the app out! Will be deleting this game ### 1/5 — Anuncios *2020-03-18, version 1.30* Aveces cuando juegas te aparecen anuncios y en media partida ### 2/5 — Hmmm *2020-03-15, version 1.30* Love this game but I can’t get power ups! But I love the game. Kinda frustrating ### 1/5 — Pésima experiencia *2020-02-27, version 1.30* Se entiende que se debe vivir de la publicidad, pero ésta es excesiva, sale al medio de una partida, por lo cual el juego se hace lento. ## Frequently asked questions about Beads.io ### What is Beads.io?
