You can’t pause the game. And it you manage to put it in the background or if your screen locks, the game freezes. I paid to remove ads, but sometimes when watching an ad to get extra balls the game freezes. Then I have to force quit it and I lose my progress. It hasn’t been updated in six months. Also the light blue and green balls look too much alike. ### 3/5 — Fun game up to a point *2023-04-14* This is a fun game. I tried a number of these bubble pop games and kept this one. I even paid to remove ads. At least they let you do that. However, when a game gets to the point where the only way to complete a level is to watch ads (after I paid to remove ads) or buy coins, it becomes not so fun. This game will do things like give you nothing but green bubbles when there isn’t a single green bubble on the screen. Until you run out. That’s not random. At that point a close the game and move onto something else. Games should be fun and relaxing. Challenging is fine. Impossible isn’t. Then it’s a money grab. You shouldn’t have to buy coins just to finish a level. ### 2/5 — Stupid ad will not exit! *2023-03-28* The Tiki solitaire ad comes up every time I’m playing this bubble shooter. It never brings up an x to exit I wasted a full 10 minutes on trying. I see you have not updated this bubble game for a long time. Please will you either check this ad or get rid of it. The Royal Match is almost as bad, but after several tries it finally exits. Still between the two I am thinking of deleting. That’s a shame because I really like the game. **Developer response:** Dear player, thank you for your feedback, and we will arrange technicians to verify it. After watching some advertisements, you need to wait patiently for 1~5S before the closing option appears. At this time, you can choose to close the advertisements. We have released a new version, thank you for your support! ### 3/5 — Great workaround for those long “Royal Match” ads.. *2023-03-19* Simply log out after each level,.. then log back in,.. it takes LESS time than waiting a minute and a half looking at that dumb ad that never seems to end,..and even when it ends,.. there’s a clock ticking down for 5 more seconds..it’s maddening.. **Developer response:** Dear player, we apologize for not providing you with a perfect experience. The advertisements are provided by advertising platforms and are also affected by your current location and network status. It is difficult for us to determine what ads you will see. However, we have received your feedback and will strive to provide you with a better experience in the future. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you for your love and support! ### 3/5 — To many commercial for bubble pop *2023-02-27* Love the game but a commercials are ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Too many Ads *2023-02-24, version 1.0.7* Fun to play but 15-20 seconds to play a level then 30-40 second Ad after EVERY level plus purchase offers, extra Ad views, it’s more annoying than relaxing. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Easy *2023-02-20, version 1.0.7* Too easy ### 2/5 — Fun, but! *2023-01-10, version 1.0.6* Fun game but 20 seconds of play followed by minutes of 2nd rate ads makes the game annoying at best. ### 2/5 — Way to many videos. *2022-12-24, version 1.0.5* It takes longer to get through a video than to play a round of the game. Does that make sense to you?? Not me. ### 4/5 — Great game *2022-12-19, version 1.0.5* Great game, but WAY too Many ads, unless you want to spend $5.99 to get rid of them. ### 1/5 — Where Are The Challenging Levels? *2022-12-09, version 1.0.5* Another bait and switch game. Where is the challenging level access advertised? The “hard” levels are stupid easy. Boring. Why advertise what you do not deliver? Such fraud. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very inappropriate ads *2023-10-07* For an app rated for children 4+, the ads in this app are predatory. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. Do not allow your young child to download and play this game for the simple fact of what they will be exposed to in the ads every couple minutes. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-09-09* I’ve played this game for a long time and have enjoyed it. It’s fun, straight forward and at times challenging. I’ve reached a point however when I will have to delete it as I have reached a point where I cannot win without paying for tools. I refuse to pay for any game. I’m disappointed but after 3 weeks trying to beat it, it’s not possible. I’m at level 2382. ### 1/5 — Played until I got to level 2596. Scam alert *2023-03-21* This is rigged to force you to purchase more balls. I have clean shots that should have been recognized under the game play. Clean hits but no acknowledgement REPEATEDLY, forcing unnecessary ads to be watched rewarding me with 3 balls, rinse and repeat. It wasn't allowing any points to be registered to allow purchasing bombs or or other features…just keeps you in the “not enough points” to do anything, again to force one to spend money to have meaningful play. Momma doesn’t play this forced type of manipulation. Will be deleting. Adios! …got to level 2596…balls get direct hit and should pop, but they do not. Tried to break this level for days…I aim and hit a group of same colored balls, but instead of popping, they change color. This is a BIG SCAM. **Developer response:** Dear player, you can click on the +10 ball on the left side of the screen to get more balls. If you fail in the current level, you can get more balls for free on the resurrection page. There are many elements in the game, each with its own characteristics. You can pause and click "Help" to learn more. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you for your love and support! ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD! *2023-02-22, version 1.0.7* This game does not allow you to replay any levels to get three stars if you do not play the level they way they want you to. You spend more time watching the ads than playing the game. Very SAD! What happened to hours that were tracked on me to get to level 4000? I guess this is what you get from a Chinese company. ### 1/5 — Played until I got to level 1500+. Now it is a scam *2023-01-27, version 1.0.6* This is rigged to force you to purchase more balls. I have clean shots that should have been recognized under the game play. Clean hits but no acknowledgement REPEATEDLY, forcing unnecessary ads to be watched rewarding me with 3 balls, rinse and repeat. It wasn't allowing any points to be registered to allow purchasing bombs or or other features…just keeps you in the “not enough points” to do anything, again to force one to spend money to have meaningful play. Momma doesn’t play this forced type of manipulation. Will be deleting. Adios! ### 1/5 — What gives? *2023-01-11, version 1.0.6* I would like to know why on every cup challenge there are always 1 or 2 people that jump out a few hundred items ahead just a few minutes into it? Today is stars. I was playing while the old challenge ended and a new challenge began, but a few are already way ahead!!! ### 1/5 — WAY TOO MANY ADS *2023-01-04, version 1.0.6* This game is easy to play but it is so ad heavy that it’s not any fun to play. I do not recommend it to anyone. After a few days play I’m sick of the excessive ads & am deleting the game. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-01-04, version 1.0.6* It would be a 5 star if it didn’t have all the ads. What’s worse is the ads that you can’t X out unless you completely shut off the game. ### 1/5 — Bubble Pop Mania *2023-01-01, version 1.0.6* My bubble pop mania ia stuck again ### 1/5 — Whaat? *2022-12-20, version 1.0.5* Too many ads, some of which take way too long to X out of. I thought ads could only last for five seconds? Now Bubble Pop Mania is unplayable because it is stuck, with no way out, in an ad for “Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks” by Scopely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ads *2023-04-11* There are too many ads, one right after each round. Otherwise the game is somewhat of a challenge. ### 5/5 — Ads *2023-02-22, version 1.0.7* Too many ads and when they happen they are too long. After seeing the same ad several times if I wanted to download it I would have done it on the first or second time seeing it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-02-09, version 1.0.7* It’s fun and very relaxing I would suggest it to anybody!!!! ### 5/5 — LOVE this game! *2023-02-02, version 1.0.6* February 1, 2023. Still waiting for more levels. It's been almost a month since I ran out, but have no idea how long it has been since you added any. I won't wait too much longer. 😰 Easy to get through for the most part. Lots of ads, so pay for the ad-free version, it's worth it! Unfortunately, no one told me there is only 4000 levels. I was in 2nd place coming up to 1st, for the win with only a short amount of time left in the event...and ran out of levels. 😭😭 So I ended up like 7th. Very distressing after working so hard to get up to almost 1st. Please please please get some more levels up! Yesterday would be good! 😂🤣 I'm so used to playing this before bed, it has been rough! LoL!! **Developer response:** Dear player, we will continue to update the level, please keep paying attention to the new version. Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2023-01-08, version 1.0.6* At 83 this game lows me to use my brain and dexterity to its fullest potential. Thank you! ### 5/5 — No adds *2022-12-30, version 1.0.6* I love it no annoying add ### 5/5 — Good job *2022-12-21, version 1.0.5* Thank you ### 5/5 — Bubble Challenge *2022-12-13, version 1.0.5* The game is fast,fun and challenging. ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-12-10, version 1.0.5* Nice ### 5/5 — Really fun *2022-12-08, version 1.0.5* Awesome game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
