Before when you would lose a round it would allow you to resume the game for another round. But now when you lose you have to start over. ### 3/5 — Cool *2026-08-29, version 3.9.1* I would like to rate this game higher, but in all honesty there are some changes I would make to different game modes and would really appreciate this game to be a landscape view not portrait so you don’t have difficulty dropping you phone all the time. In lightning mode I would like to see more time gems to make it possible to play for a more extended amount of time. It’s very challenging when you can only get up to a minute in the first round of time and then the second hardly getting any more than thirtytoforty seconds of gems, maybe gems could never die out so that would allow for you to use you bonus powers more effectively. Those bonus powers also should be treasure for badges in games or something. Also it’d be cool to see additional treasure when you pick up each trophy or badge! There also could be a setting for the speed off play, so that more beginning level players could still find it challenging and more pro players could still enjoy the speed off play game play, often i get more frustrated because I would like to slow the clock and allow for more time to get a run going on during levels/gameplay instead of getting a no time left and a more feeling frustrated than wanting to continue because the satisfaction of playing this game would be much higher if there was a more moderate level of play where i would find satisfaction in keeping a streak instead of pulling mental muscles and getting sick of the feeling… ### 2/5 — Game is fun ads are not *2026-08-27, version 3.9.1* It shows a million ads. Often time I can’t even exit the ad after it runs and I have to force close the app and reopen it several times just to play. It makes me not want to play, and sometimes I get annoyed and then don’t. I ### 3/5 — Don’t know what changed *2026-08-26, version 3.9.1* What happened to the second chance on all the games ### 4/5 — After iOS 26.6.1 I get ads *2026-08-24, version 3.9.1* I paid for Bejeweled in 2013 and I've never had ads. Yesterday I updated iOS from 26.6 to 26.6.1 and now I'm swamped with ads. Made sure I was on the latest version of BC. Tried restoring purchases, no change. I now see the option to remove ads for $2.99, but I don't want to pay twice. Please fix. ### 4/5 — It won’t load! *2026-08-20, version 3.9.1* I’ve always loved this game played it nightly, I updated the app and now it won’t load☹️I have an iPhone 13, I’m not sure what happened but I hope it gets sorted. ### 3/5 — Completely agree with “They killed continue!” *2026-08-19, version 3.9.1* The game used to allow the player to continue after the initial failed attempt. It gave the option to continue or to end the game. Now it just ends… That’s not good, especially after paying for no ads. Otherwise, the games are great. ### 2/5 — Bejeweled Classic *2026-08-15, version 3.9.1* Disappointed in this game now, no continue option? Why? Only one shot at the game no continue option. Oh well, guess I’ll rid myself of this game after over 20 yrs. ### 2/5 — Last update killed continue! Bring it back! *2026-08-14, version 3.9.1* Besides me having the constantly restore purchases, you dumped the contour feature. That’s super lame! Please bring it back. ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-08-14, version 3.9.1* Too many. ### 2/5 — Disappointed in the recent changes *2026-08-12, version 3.9.1* The shuffle feature was a great feature and I would’ve given this 5 stars. However, now that the shuffle is no longer there, it doesn’t deserve 5 stars. 2 at most! Bring back the shuffle option! ### 1/5 — Used to be fun *2026-08-12, version 3.9.1* The game used to be fun until this latest update. Maybe it’s due to me not paying for the in app purchases. However, you shouldn’t have to pay to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keep getting Ads after I paid for no ads *2026-08-26, version 3.9.1* Plus the support site to get help is not customer friendly ### 1/5 — Painful Ads *2026-08-24, version 3.9.1* Internal ads suck. Banish the ads. ### 1/5 — You Ruined a Good Game! *2026-08-23, version 3.9.1* Treasure Bucket not displaying artifacts, gold, and diamonds. Diamond Mine game doesn’t cover the whole screen on iPhone 16 Pro Max. My previous badges/progress disappeared with current update. The 30 second continuation is gone! The shuffle mode is gone, when there are no more moves. I didn’t receive the boosts, that was stated, when I opened the app. It was literally impossible to restore my purchase to remove ads! I lost my highest level achieved! The way this game is set up, the player has no chance of ever excelling to any high level or score! Shame on you! Fix this mess now! ### 1/5 — No continue feature? *2026-08-22, version 3.9.1* The most recent update removed the "continue" feature from the game. I wish it would be added back. ### 1/5 — What is wrong with this app? *2026-08-21, version 3.9.1* FIX YOUR APP!!! I purchased this game several months ago. I paid to remove the advertisements. The ads are removed and then RETURN in about 24 hours and the entire app starts running all these ads again. I go to remove the ads and it says I already paid, do I want it for free. I press yes. Add removed for about 24 hours —maybe less these days— then they return and I can’t play without ad saturation that I paid to remove. Each time, the game creates and I have to start all over again and go through these instructions and examples again. I’m so angry and furious. I play this game for relaxation and it’s turned into this anxiety filled mess! G ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2026-08-20, version 3.9.1* I play for years on PC, but on phone is full on ads, so deleted ### 1/5 — Ads don’t allow play! *2026-08-19, version 3.9.1* What the heck people. Why the ads before you can even click to play the game! Please fix that. ### 1/5 — Sad… *2026-08-16, version 3.9.1* With the last update, you no longer get the option to shuffle the board and continue the same game once lost. 😔 That was one of my favorite features. Please bring it back!! ### 1/5 — Ads, terrible UI *2026-08-16, version 3.9.1* I paid to remove ads. Then immediately got an ad. What a scam. There has to be a better version of this game out there. Gameplay is so small. Ads are so distracting. ### 1/5 — Bloody adverts ruin it *2026-08-15, version 3.9.1* I used to play on chrome now it’s full of adverts. You can’t play any levels cos of adverts not worth it. I’m not waiting over 120 seconds to play next level that ain’t gonna happen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Second chance *2026-08-28, version 3.9.1* While playing bejeweled, you had an option to continue playing the same game after the game was over. I don’t have that option anymore. I’m not sure why. ### 5/5 — Truly *2026-08-27, version 3.9.1* Truly truly ad free ### 5/5 — The PERFECT stress reducing break *2026-08-25, version 3.9.1* Whenever life gets a bit hectic, I take a 10-15 minute Bejeweled break. The games are winnable without having to make in-app purchases. I hope it’s never removed from the internet, like TETRIS. And now, back to work. ### 5/5 — Fun but has a problem *2026-08-20, version 3.9.1* Great game but too many adds ### 5/5 — Bejeweled *2026-08-19, version 3.9.1* What happened to the keep playing when there are no more moves ?? ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-18, version 3.9.1* Good game - works on the plane (plane mode ) a+++++ for that. ### 5/5 — Classic favorite *2026-08-13, version 3.9.1* Such an anxiety relief on zen mode. Diamond mine causes anxiety though lol ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-12, version 3.9.1* Fun game I enjoy it across multiple platforms. ### 5/5 — Forever a favorite ᥫ᭡. *2026-08-11, version 3.9.1* Been playing this series since it was on PS3 and always was in love with the soundtrack along backgrounds. I have to say, this will forever be my favorite mobile game as you never have to spend money unless you want too for your preferred mode. 5/5 ᥫ᭡. ### 5/5 — Great😃😃😃 *2026-08-02, version 3.9.1* I'd get it if i was thinking about it if i were you!!! Really good game and i love popcaps games and i got like 6 badges from playing diamond mine so yeah --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
