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. ### 3/5 — Can't restore purchases *2016-06-08, version 1.22* Had this game a long time and tried to play on iPad. Won't let restore previous purchases despite hitting the (hard to find) button. ### 3/5 — Freezes!! *2015-12-16, version 1.22* I am obsessssed with this game but it keeps freezing the more I play. Super irritating ### 4/5 — Good game *2015-05-21, version 1.22* Spoiled, by stopping you playing after level 24 unless you have the paid option ### 1/5 — Ads make it impossible to play *2015-04-10, version 1.22* Love this game on my phone, but on the iPad an ad will pop up and when I tap close (x) the screen goes black and I have to shut down the game. ### 3/5 — Good challenges/bad app *2015-01-15, version 1.22* Not worth buying. Year later, I'm trying it again and I play one short game, get a full screen ad, than get an upper bar ad that won't close, then game freezes. I shut it off and need to try way later or else ad is still there. decent game. I like it. but, obviously, they have no intention to fix it plus be reasonable about ads. very stupid on their part. ### 1/5 — Can't move to next level on iPad *2015-01-09, version 1.22* Works well on iphone but can't advance by closing ads on iPad. Have to close app and reopen. ### 1/5 — Bubble bust *2015-01-03, version 1.22* Excellent graphics on iPod iPhone Terrible graphics on iPad ### 1/5 — What on earth have you done to this game? *2014-12-15, version 1.22* This used to be a good game to play. Now you've filled it full of adds for other games and the only way to get rid of them is to pay to remove them. Why not just charge for the app? You can't even get rid of the adds to keep playing. I'm taking the app off my I-pad so you've not only lost a player but a customer as well. ### 1/5 — Black Screen *2014-11-25, version 1.22* Your app is a joke. After one level the screen goes black and that is it. I had to delete this app. Too bad the one level I played was kinda fun. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Continually crashes *2016-09-13, version 1.22* Love the game but must uninstall because the app crashes before I can even pull up a game. Have tried both iPhone and iPad and had the same problem. Plz fix !!! ### 1/5 — Game Crashes iOS 9.3+ *2016-07-25, version 1.22* Seems the app hasn't been updated for iOS 9.3 and on. The app constantly crashes when starting up a level on iOS 9.3.2. Worthless app now. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2016-07-01, version 1.22* The game keeps crashing very disappointed can't even play keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Game shuts off *2015-10-15, version 1.22* I love this game. I have it on my Samsung tablet and my iPad first generation. I have Boughten all the levels. Still waiting for level four to come out. I bought a new iPad air two and I cannot get past level 20. The app shuts off. I pulled the app back open and hit a different level, it won't let me play one level and then the app closes again. Six times with in nine minutes. Do not know what is wrong. I am deeply saddened by this ### 1/5 — Mr. *2015-09-17, version 1.22* Too many pop up ads. And they are timed ads, which can't be closed quickly. Liked the game but the ads are the killer. Removed the game completely. ### 1/5 — Why? *2015-08-17* A great game, ruined by pay wall and ads, a real shame ### 1/5 — Load of rubbish!! *2015-04-10, version 1.22* Played this on hubby's iPhone. I enjoyed it so downloaded it for my iPad. Can't get past the second level on the free world because it freezes on the ads. Shame because I was really enjoying it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’ve been a player since 2011. *2025-04-11, version 1.28* I’ve been playing Bubble Bust for about 15 years now, and it’s still my go-to game! 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. ### 5/5 — Bubble *2017-12-03, version 1.23* I LOVE THIS GAME I PLAY IT EVERY DAY ### 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 ### 5/5 — Bubble Bust *2015-11-10, version 1.22* Be careful and download at your own risk. Game is addicting!! ### 5/5 — Great iPad game. No so on windows! *2015-11-07, version 1.22* Title says it all! ### 5/5 — If you wasted untold hours on snood back in the day, this is the game for you. *2015-04-11, version 1.22* I am a sucker for bubble shooters, and this is by far the best one I've played. Unlike a lot of the "free to play" bubble shooters, this never feels cheap or unfair. You pay for extra level packs, not for the ability to pass an otherwise impossible level. I've had this on my phone for years, and re bought it for my iPad because a) the HD version is WAY prettier than playing in 2x mode, and b) after a few years, this is still the game that I always come back to, because the levels are actually fun to replay. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2015-03-28, version 1.22* Bought the in app purchase for $1.99. It's worth the price for huts of entertainment. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-09-12, version 1.22* This is my best game, my go to game. I purchased all the worlds, and have gold on all but 4 games. Will you be adding worlds soon? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
