Whether I’m killing time, waiting in line, winding down before bed, or just in the mood for something fun, this game never gets old. Lately, I’ve been on a mission to collect all gold stars, and let me tell you, the challenge is real! If I land a silver or bronze, I won’t stop until I snag that gold. It’s so satisfying! I truly love this game. It’s addictive in the best way, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classic, feel good game to keep on their phone. ### 5/5 — Awesome, *2021-11-12, version 1.25* I’ve been playing with this game for years. Highly addicted. ### 1/5 — Game goes into super slow motion *2019-10-19, version 1.25* The game plays ok for a little while then goes into super slow motion very annoying t ### 3/5 — So so *2018-11-08, version 1.25* I liked the old version better ### 1/5 — Down the slippery slope... *2018-06-01, version 1.24* I having been playing this game for years. It is one of my favourite time wasters. It's a real shame that the authors have now decided to make it necessary to have a internet connection. I will be deleting this application with immediate affect. A real shame. ### 1/5 — Why does this game require an internet connection? *2018-05-30, version 1.24* I've been playing this game for a couple of weeks and really like it (it's old-school, not cutesy, and moderately challenging) but I took my iPad mini into a hospital to visit a relative & turned the Wifi off — and Bubble Bust wouldn't load. Why does a basic bubble-popping game require an internet connection? I wasn't trying to update, buy extras, open new levels, etc. Just play already-unlocked games. I find the default dependence on Wifi creepy, and I'm not sure I'm willing to keep using this game. ### 5/5 — Bubble *2017-12-03, version 1.23* I LOVE THIS GAME I PLAY IT EVERY DAY ### 3/5 — Good game, BUT.... *2017-10-01, version 1.23* I can confirm that this game crashes EVERY single time you hit select world. Also happens when hitting play without removing the app from the background first. Must be something with the world menu. Minus 1 star.😫😤 Also out of the 514 levels in this game only 24 are free. 95 per cent of the levels in this game are not free, and the credit card is not usually in my iPad. Minus another star for the amount of micro transactions, because isn't this a little over the top? Other than all that good game though. ### 5/5 — Bubble bust *2017-08-13, version 1.23* I have enjoyed this game for some time. No issues, just a fun way to pass time. Lorei ### 5/5 — Problem with progress *2016-12-18, version 1.22* I have this on my iPod touch but tried putting it on my iPad mini but didn't transfer. So when I just loaded it, It shows That I have to buy worlds that I've already purchased in the past. Please help, I don't need to buy them a second time ## Frequently asked questions about Bubble Bust! HD ### What is Bubble Bust! HD? Bubble Bust!
