Unfortunately very buggy. Constant hangs and crashes are way too common. Best to move along ### 3/5 — Fix the game *2026-07-29, version 2.35.1* I haven’t been able to get my boosters or any gems for 2weeks. I have over and over to fix the game. ### 2/5 — Can’t use Diamonds *2026-07-29, version 2.35.1* I have 771 Diamonds. Seriously what is the point to keep earning them when they can’t ever be used for anything? WORTHLESS!!!!!! ### 2/5 — I FOUND ANOTHER BUG 💀🤬🤬💀🤬💀 *2026-07-28, version 2.35.1* Apparently if you quit the game 2-5 seconds after game start, then start a new game afterwards, then even if you make a match, NOTHING HAPPENS!! Also any boosts equipped would STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I literally have to force quit the game then log back in for it all to work! THESE DEVS DO NOT ADDRESS THESE MANY BUGS IN THIS GAME AND SHOULD FIX THRM BEFORE THINGS GET WORSE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😭😭😫😭😫😱🤬😡🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ### 3/5 — Items not downloading *2026-07-27, version 2.35.1* For a couple weeks now, rare gems, boosts & the cat won’t download. How many weeks does it need to download? Never had that issue before. Keeps saying it’s in progress of downloading. For the cat, it says to connect to the internet. I am connected & it still doesn’t open. I don’t play this every day, but I enjoy it when I do play. ### 2/5 — Reconnecting to the internet *2026-07-26, version 2.35.1* I am reconnected to WiFi & it’s saying I’m not. I’m not sure what to do. I can’t access the power jewels I have saved. Saying “unavailable”. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-07-26, version 2.35.1* Every rare gem and boost says unavailable!! The game was already poorly operating now this! I’m uninstalling this game. ### 2/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-25, version 2.35.1* Last update is not downloading my jewels. Very annoying ### 1/5 — UPDATE *2026-07-24, version 2.34.0* You guys have taken away all my points just because the update is not downloading the new version which I did download but it’s taken me back to step 1 and lost my thousands of points . Not fair ### 1/5 — Blitz *2026-07-23, version 2.34.0* It says to hit a button to renew but NOTHING happens just goes back again! This game is really messing up! I am about ready to delete it! But HELP I do like this game and have played it for years. ### 2/5 — Seems unfair since the beginning of this year *2026-07-23, version 2.35.1* Don’t understand how “players” who I believe are not real players can have maximum use of the boosters and they most often win the top prizes. The game has been changed since the beginning of this year. Very unfair to those of us who are loyal players ### 2/5 — No longer the game it once was *2026-07-23, version 2.35.1* No support for game that gems earned won’t load. Disappointing after many years of playing. ### 1/5 — some ads will not close and waste my free rewards *2026-07-21, version 2.35.1* as per title. fix this ### 1/5 — Unplayable now *2026-07-20, version 2.35.1* Used to love this game but for the past few months when I try to load it it just hangs on blitz quest loading and never seems to progress. The blitz quest button does not light up and I cannot play the game. Extremely frustrating. I am using an iphone11 with iOS 16, which the App Store says works with this app. Please fix it ### 1/5 — Angry *2026-07-20, version 2.35.1* Why an I being asked to pay for this game after 9 years of playing it for free? I don’t think so! ### 3/5 — THE BEST *2026-07-20, version 2.35.1* I haven’t played Bejeweled Blitz in a long time, just started again and noticed my contents won’t download I deleted apps on my phone for more storage, still the same, I deleted the game several times and re-installed, no changes, I just now logged in on Facebook but nothing changed My contents will not download even though I use data I have very good internet connection ### 1/5 — Fix *2026-07-19, version 2.35.1* It stopped working ### 1/5 — Angry *2026-07-18, version 2.35.1* I’m so tired of the gems freezing up when I’m playing a game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Download *2026-08-17, version 2.35.1* This is the only game that will not download. It has been 3 weeks and it still says download in progress. 😢😢😢 ### 1/5 — Fix this game! *2026-08-17, version 2.35.1* Frozen...again. So much for the update. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great game *2026-08-09, version 2.35.1* Used to be a great game, had many good hours playing this game. Now its flooded with adverts! GET RID OF THE ADVERTS YOU MONEY GRABBERS! You have ruined a perfectly good game. FIX IT! Would of happily spent money on this game but i refuse to give money to money grabbers who flood their games with adds! ### 1/5 — Junk app *2026-08-07, version 2.35.1* It’s a want-a-be slot machine. Just a bunch of "Oh no you almost won, just pay money, and you’ll be the best" ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-08-05, version 2.35.1* I’ve played for years. Now suddenly there’s a robot playing and I can’t get the high scores I’m used to. Do better but I won’t know because I’m deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Hugely annoyed! *2026-08-04, version 2.35.1* Stop ads that have no X to stop them! We have the right not to watch these things. ### 1/5 — Data disappeared *2026-08-04, version 2.35.1* After 15 years playing this game, I amassed a supply of special “jewels”. I was off the game for a week and when I returned, my chest shows I have them but every stinking one is listed as “unavailable”, including the ones I earned in the daily spin and free chest. What’s going on with this game ??? ### 1/5 — Message Please connect to Internet *2026-08-03, version 2.35.1* Have been getting this message for at least two weeks now. Can’t use Amy special gems that I have for anything either. Saw your response to login to Facebook. I don’t use Facebook, so that’s not the problem. Everything I earned is being held hostage. I’ve never seen a major problem not addressed for weeks. I see plenty of other reviews stating the same problem. ### 1/5 — Nothing like the Samsung version *2026-07-30, version 2.35.1* Idk just not fun anymore ### 1/5 — They took all my gold bars and all my And gave me more coins and they took all my awards out of item *2026-07-27, version 2.35.1* I tried get fixed no help ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bejeweled blitz *2026-08-04, version 2.35.1* Best game ### 5/5 — Bejeweled blitzen *2026-07-23, version 2.35.1* Fun game fast paced the only thing I don’t like is you can’t use the blue diamonds for anything But the great thing is, you can use your gold bars to buy coins and shards ### 5/5 — Limited Time Offer Idea For Christmas *2026-07-15, version 2.35.1* if there will be a limited time offer for Christmas these should be the gems: twinklet, holijade, saint nick, jolly hood, and twinkle toes ### 5/5 — Inferno is a “NO” *2026-06-27, version 2.34.0* Please slow down the use of Inferno. It’s more frustrating than fun! ### 5/5 — In game issues *2026-05-21, version 2.34.0* The game is awesome and i love it and i have been playing it for a long time. Recently, in the past week or so, it wont let me use my accumulated special gems. When i attempt to use them, the game says to wait for them to download. Other areas of the game i cant access either. Please give advice or assistance. Thank you ### 5/5 — Friends *2026-05-17, version 2.34.0* I’m looking for all the friends I was playing with. It seems l am playing with children. Please help ### 5/5 — Ger4l 7he Pe4rl *2026-05-04, version 2.34.0* Want coins back ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-01-22, version 2.33.1* I like the game but can you lower down the price of 💎 please 🙏 can you make it fancy okay please ### 5/5 — Royal Match Infomercial App *2026-01-18, version 2.33.1* Update: I have to give this app a 5 now that I found a way to block ALL the ads. It’s not that hard everybody; they have a huge hole in their code. Update: All your latest greedy tweaks have sucked the last ounce of joy from Blitz. Hopefully nobody is foolish enough to make any in app purchases so maybe you’ll see how badly you have screwed up. Update. Like so many others game freezes during play since latest update. I cant play this anymore until there is another update that fixes this problem. Update:The new Royal Match ads are so long that I can literally go to the bathroom, grab a drink and they are still playing. I really miss playing this game. Warning, don’t download this game unless you want to see royal match ads almost nonstop. UPDATE: I just want to reiterate what many others have said. The Pick Your Prize is totally rigged against getting the 500,000 prize. Case in point: I picked the center square 500 times without ever winning. On pick 501 I picked a different square AND the 500,000 prize showed up in the center square. I repeated this experiment and the samething happened. There really isn’t anything we can do about it since we are not spending or losing real money. I still love the game, but I definitely can’t play as much knowing it is rigged and not just my bad luck. For many years this was my absolute favorite game to play. But now it is nothing more than an infomercial app for the Royal Match app. The ads are triple the time of game play. It is completely horrible to play this game anymore. Can’t believe how bad it’s gotten just overnight. Goodbye. ### 5/5 — Elder “E” *2025-12-30, version 2.33.1* I must admit that this game is fun and a challenge. But not a week goes by without me having played. I was not expecting to be playing this much. It does cost a lot of shackles each week. So went it get costly.
