### 2/5 — Lost all my coins

*2025-08-04, version 5.3.2*

After recent updates all the coins I won were removed. Been playing it for years and never ever used them… but they say nope. You never had that many… wrong answer.

### 3/5 — Love it.  But

*2024-05-05, version 5.1.4*

Second time I have run into a level that I have been trying to beat for 2 weeks. Every day. Multiple times a day. Not worth it. About to delete when I saw update and hope they just get rid of it

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2024-02-13, version 5.1.0*

Bubble bustin 😩

### 5/5 — Great new version of this app

*2023-08-04, version 5.0.3*

Really fun and challenging. Looking forward to new levels soon!!

### 1/5 — Unmögliches Zwangsupdate - ich will die alte Version wieder zurück!!!

*2023-05-13*

Was muss ich machen damit ich die alte Version wieder bekomme??

### 1/5 — New version is a mega fail 😭

*2023-05-11, version 5.0.1*

It’s been years since any changes have been made to this app, and for years I have been enjoying its simplicity, having completed all the levels I picked my favourite and went back to it every day. SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED with this ‘upgrade’ which is a rewrite - there are exploding mines now and the graphics are shocking. CONFUSING, MESSY and ABOUT TO BE DELETED!!!!! Do us a favour and bring back the old version please.

### 1/5 — Thieves!!!

*2021-03-07, version 4.4.2*

What is wrong with this game??? There’s no possible way to pass this current level. I have spent so much money and can’t win if there are no grays to win if your goal is 2 fish when no fish are made!!!! Why is this???????????? You are just taking my money and that’s messed up. Refund my money!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — So much fun.

*2016-08-25, version 4.4.2*

Love this game.

### 2/5 — New ads that freeze the app?

*2016-05-16, version 4.4.0*

Been playing this game for some time. Fun and addicting, but the latest "update" has introduced ads before every time you play a game that play over and over again with no ability to exit. Some ads require you to shut down the game because they won't stop, which makes you lose lives. There's an "x" circle at the top right of the screen, but pressing it only stops/starts playback of the ad.

Looks like the "update" wasn't much to improve anything in the game...time to move on.

### 3/5 — Loads of Fun

*2016-04-20, version 4.4.0*

I love this game. However, I wish they'd come out with more levels more quickly. I've gone as far as I can. It says more coming soon, but it's been well over 6 months.
