For real i'd rather pay to buy the app on the app store than to have it free but having to pay for nearly everything in the game. I was also really disappointed to have paid 25$ for the vip bundle for it to only last less than a day. Its really annoying cause i really like the game but the number of microtransactions is just too much to appreciate it **Developer response:** Hello! We're glad you enjoy the gameplay, but we understand your frustration regarding microtransactions and the VIP pass expiring before you could fully enjoy it. We take your feedback about season durations and pricing seriously and have shared it with our team to help improve future balancing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 3/5 — It used to be great *2026-09-01, version 1.3.1* I loved the game so much I bought ads free. I was content watching ads for perks or bonuses. But now everything requires an ad or payment. I enjoyed doing the daily timed contests, those are gone too. The entire app just has prices for things all over it. Even on boards I played when they were events and free and I’ve completed they want me to pay like $9 if I want to play again? I can buy a whole other game with that! I get that they want money but you guys can try to be a little less obvious about it. How can people even tell if it’s worth spending now? Since I’ve already bought ad free over a year ago I’ll still play but, it’s a real bummer. ### 3/5 — Great game, invasive ads *2026-08-30, version 1.3.1* I really like this game. So much so that I purchased the permanent tray. Now I’m upset that I purchased it. I’ve solved the same picture in the weekly challenge twice, without success. I get an ad as soon as I finish the picture and when the game resumes, all I get is an outline. It never shows the completed picture. I like this game, but the ads will open up browser pages or open up a browser in the app. I don’t mind the ads, but I do mind how they behave. Shopee is an awful ad on this app because the x is too small to close the window. Maybe in time I might have purchased the no ads feature, but after this it’s looking like I might not use this app any more. ### 3/5 — Stuck in Events *2026-08-30* Have completed level 13 in Pawsome Place 4 times but picture doesn’t appear. Can’t complete the event so very frustrated. Would like this glitch fixed please. Ads are annoying but I still think this game could be fun if I can progress. **Developer response:** We're sorry level 13 prevented you from progressing in Pawsome Place. This issue has now been fixed, so please restart the game and check the event again. We also understand your frustration with ads and will pass your feedback to the team. ### 3/5 — Glitches made me delete the app *2026-08-30* The game was fun until I watched an add that glitched and then I lost all my progression because of a glitch in the add. Make sure your game works! **Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review. We’re sorry for the frustrating experience and for the progress loss. We take your feedback seriously, and please contact us via the Settings button in the app with a screenshot of where it happened. ### 2/5 — Unfortunate *2026-08-29, version 1.3.1* Ad before, after and even during the puzzles. It’s ridiculous to even play. Each ad is about 2mins long. It’s not even enjoyable and I downloaded the game about 2 days ago. ### 2/5 — Event Energy Disappears *2026-08-27, version 1.3.1* I had 320 event energy saved up by playing premium levels but as soon as the new event started my energy dropped down to 50. They take away earned energy when new events drop. ### 4/5 — アプデ後から... *2026-08-27* タップした色が優先的に選択されるようになり、離れたところのブロックまで取れてしまい連続でプレイしにくくなってしまいました...😭😭 そこはアプデ前に治してほしいです。 あと、毎日あった速さで競うイベントがなくなって、プレイし放題になる機会が少なくなってしまったのも惜しい。 プレミアムレベルも一つプレイしないと次のステージにいけなくなってしまったり、なにかと不便になりました。 ずーっと楽しく遊ばせていただいていたので、前に戻してください🥲 ### 2/5 — Battery Drainer and too many ads *2026-08-26, version 1.3.1* I liked this game initially. I could handle buying coins/tickets occasionally. There used to be a daily puzzle that rewarded the top few players who solved it in the shortest amount of time. Those coins helped unlock the premium puzzles needed to progress in the museum. Latest update removed that feature. Now you have to watch ads or pay to unlock premium puzzles. That coupled with the drain on my battery and my phone getting very hot while playing is why I’ll be deleting this game. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-25, version 1.3.1* Why does it only go up to stage 174? ### 2/5 — Update ruined it *2026-08-25, version 1.3.1* I used to love this game. Would play it every night before bed. I didn’t even mind the occasional ads but now I have to watch an add before I can even play. No ads is like $10 which is ridiculous. Very greedy to make the no ads option so much money and then Forcing an update where ads are mandatory to play. ### 3/5 — 悪くないけど... *2026-08-24* ここ1ヶ月ほどプレイしています。ゲーム自体は楽しく、マスに同じ色のブロックをはめていくのは快感です。 ただ、イベントのスタミナについては不満があります。通常ステージとイベントステージをプレイするスタミナが別になっているのですが、通常ステージをクリアすると報酬でイベントステージ用のスタミナが、イベントステージをクリアすると通常ステージ用のスタミナがもらえます。これ自体はとてもいいと思います。 イベントをクリアしたので、次回のイベントに向けて通常ステージをクリアし、イベントステージ用のスタミナを貯めていました。しかし次のイベントが始まると、貯めた分のスタミナが消えて時間経過で貯まる上限の50になってました。イベントの開催期間は数日と短い割に要求されるスタミナが多く、完走できないこともあります。イベントステージ用のスタミナが消えてしまうなら、イベントをクリアしたら通常ステージをやる意味があまりないなと感じました。改善していただけることを望みます。 **Developer response:** イベント用スタミナはイベントごとに設定されており、次のイベントには引き継がれません。短い開催期間に対して必要量が多く、貯めたスタミナが無駄に感じられる点は理解しています。改善のご意見としてチームへ伝えます。今後改善を感じていただけましたら、評価の見直しをご検討いただけますと幸いです。 ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-24, version 1.3.1* This was an enjoyable game at first. But now that I have played for a while and since some updates, ads will pop open mid game play and do it repeatedly. I literally just started a round and got 5% into the puzzle when an ad automatically popped open, it shut and popped open again three more times. I forced closed the game and opened it again and it did it again. Deleting the game. Which is a shame. It was a fun game until this. ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-23, version 1.3.1* It’s a relaxing and entertaining game but the ads are absolutely ridiculous. You click a puzzle to play, an ad plays before the puzzle pops up. You’re in the middle of a puzzle, an ad plays. You finish the puzzle, an ad plays. You want to get a reward you earned, you have to watch an ad first. Ad after ad after ad. So I started playing while on airplane mode. Well now they have some puzzles you aren’t even able to play until you watch an ad. It’s annoying. ### 3/5 — Era bom, mas agora piorou *2026-08-22* Eu adorava o jogo, mas tiraram a competição diária, que me motivava a jogar todos os dias. Também aumentaram o número de propaganda e colocaram uma que é na barra debaixo que é irritante, piorando a experiência de jogar.. **Developer response:** Obrigado por deixar sua avaliação. Lamentamos que as mudanças tenham afetado sua experiência; levamos esse retorno a sério e vamos considerar seu feedback sobre a competição diária e os anúncios. Se quiser, fale conosco pelo botão Configurações no app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not what it shows in ads *2026-08-30, version 1.3.1* Not the game it shows in ads. I will be deleting ### 1/5 — Bug on level 12 of the event can’t proceed *2026-08-30, version 1.3.1* Please fix this bug every time I get to the end of this level, the picture goes to gray and the screen freezes. It’s literally happened 10 times I even uninstalled the game and reinstall it and it still didn’t fix it. ### 1/5 — Ads are way too invasive *2026-08-29, version 1.3.1* Deleted the game. Sometimes 5 pop up ads interrupt one puzzle. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-08-25, version 1.3.1* Game is nice but this adds That is 98% of game waiting for adds to finish Generally waist of time ### 1/5 — Newest updated ruined the app - deleting *2026-08-22, version 1.3.1* Between the auto-sorting/picking diamonds by color and the fact that each new section now requires completing all energy levels PLUS a coin level to unlock, I’m deleting the app. Bad decisions by the developers and clearly I’m not the only one who thinks so. Such a shame because I used to love it and play daily. ### 1/5 — MUITA PROPAGANDA 😠 *2026-08-22* Eu gosto do jogo, legal pra passar o tempo, mas no meio do jogo abrir anúncio do nada é muito irritante, vou desinstalar por causa disso. **Developer response:** Lamentamos que os anúncios interrompam as partidas de forma inesperada. Entendemos como isso prejudica a diversão, mesmo gostando do jogo. Levaremos seu comentário sobre a frequência e o momento dos anúncios à equipe. ### 1/5 — Resets iPad *2026-08-22, version 1.3.1* App suspect. My iPad started resetting while playing the game. I thought it was an issue with my iPad but it never resets on other apps and games I deleted the App and downloaded a fresh version. I have tried several times now to play and it is continuing to cause a reset. This just recently became am issue. I was enjoying the game until this strarted occurring. ### 1/5 — Waaaay too many ads *2026-08-21* The ads are way too much. I didn’t make through even half of the first level when three ads popped up. Granted you can close them but popping up every 10-15 seconds is ridiculous. Didn’t finish level one and deleted the app. **Developer response:** We're sorry three ads appeared before you could finish even half of the first level. Interruptions every 10-15 seconds leave no chance to enjoy the gameplay, and we understand why you deleted the app. We'll pass your feedback about the ad frequency to the team. ### 1/5 — latest update is TRASH *2026-08-21, version 1.3.0* used to be my favorite game for killing time or unwinding. the latest update ruined it though. the diamond pulls are incredibly inconsistent and it makes playing so frustrating. on top of that, it seems moving from stage to stage solely with the “free” levels is no longer an option— you HAVE to either spend coins (which you’ll probably have to pay real money for), spend tickets (which you’ll also have to pay real money for), or watch an ad. gross, greedy, and disappointing! i have no problem spending a few bucks here and there just because i do enjoy the game, but now that you’ve made it basically a requirement? won’t be getting another dime out of me, sorry. ### 1/5 — Diamond 𝓹𝓾𝓩𝓩𝓛𝓮 *2026-08-21, version 1.3.0* does not look like real bedazzling I want it to and and it should be relaxing kinda like you’re at the beach ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brain Food *2026-08-28, version 1.3.1* Try it will keep you playing even when ur tired as u can be like me right now I still wanna play ### 5/5 — Dangerously fun *2026-08-27* This game is probably occupying WAY too much of my time!! 😂 It is so fun and satisfying. The ads are JUST tolerable for me..1 after each completed puzzle, and an ad if you change out of the app and come back to it (and a tiny banner that I don’t really notice). Fortunately you can pay to permanently get rid of ads ($9.99) so I’ll probably do that soon, just wanted to get through a significant number of levels first to make sure I would hit any possible paywalls before reviewing. Oh! And the puzzles are largely un-timed, which makes it very fun and relaxing. The only ones that are timed are event-related or little “bonus” sections. All in all, I’d highly recommend this game! There ARE ads, but not nearly as egregious as some games I’ve played (AND you can pay to be rid of them). It is SO FUN! I love playing while listening to audiobooks! ### 5/5 — Fun!!Different!! *2026-08-26, version 1.3.1* Wasn’t sure at first, about this game. I hadn't seen anything like it before but I figured, What up? Ok! I'll give it a go! It's Great!! Loads of Fun and not as Easy as it seems. Give it a Try!! ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2026-08-25, version 1.3.1* Diamond painting without the hassle of all those little pieces spilling on your floor. Good game to pass the time with as it is a puzzle and coloring game tied into one. ### 5/5 — Ahhhhh *2026-08-23, version 1.3.1* Relaxing and satisfying. Great to play before bed. Soothes the brain for rest! Great for seniors too…😃 ### 5/5 — Fun, *2026-08-21, version 1.3.0* I AM ADDICTED ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-16, version 1.3.0* Great game very addictive ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-08-15, version 1.3.0* I love the game, but it freezes & shuts out on its own sometimes & it’s extremely annoying. It freezes & moves slow ### 5/5 — BSDP *2026-08-15, version 1.3.0* Its the best ### 5/5 — Plus de niveaux *2026-08-14* Bonjour, j’ai fini jusqu’au niveau 525 est ce que vous allez en faire des nouveaux ?
