So much so it makes the game unplayable. ### 4/5 — No save point *2024-08-25* I’d kept my phone on and this game up for weeks to see how far I could get. I got to level 600 before my phone updated one night, and the game started me over at level 1. It’s going to take me forever to get that far again. There is no way to save. If you close the game, you lose all of your progress. Other than the screaming rage of being forced into permadeath so I have to start over from level 1, it’s a fun game. The way the bubbles drop is satisfying. Please make a save point option. ### 3/5 — Bubble Pops! *2023-09-02* This game is fun except that I can’t see the scores, they are so dim & disappear so fast that they are not readable. Also please save scores for each game. I hope you can make these changes/corrections. ### 3/5 — Leaves bubbles off sometimes *2022-07-30* Very frustrating when it leaves blanks where bubbles are supposed to be. ### 4/5 — No ads *2022-06-13* This is my favourite game and I can’t play it because of the ads. ### 4/5 — More colors? *2019-10-16* I love the game and the strategy of it, but couldn’t the colors change up with each round? Just red, blue and green all the time gets a little boring. ### 3/5 — Really...no way to save your progress? *2018-06-16* This game is a great way to waste oxygen. I really like this game and my star review would be higher if there was a way to save your game progress. Of all of the games I’ve played over decades, I do believe that this is the first game with no was to save. AND no way to contact support within the game. Fun time waster, just needs a little more tweaking. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Change the next level button *2018-05-31, version 6.1* The next level button is really annoying it’s always in the way and it skips the game I’m playing before I’m done ### 4/5 — Can you fix the issue with restart *2017-06-28* I love this game. However, it drives me nuts that I get to my all time high score then have to answer a call or stop for work etc. and it resets to the zero start when I open it again ugh. Any advice? **Developer response:** Fixed ### 5/5 — Niceeee *2015-12-22* Can't stop playing this awesome game with my son ### 5/5 — Cool! *2015-12-22, version 6.1* The best buble game around here. ### 4/5 — Thumbs up *2015-11-11* Great time waster. I just wish I had the option to skip immediately to higher levels instead of tapping the skip button over and over. ### 5/5 — Good update *2015-10-31* Great fix for the iPad. Now it works as it should. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Fun, fast game *2015-02-19, version 5.2* This is a quick game that you can play a level in under a minute, but play levels for hours. I got hooked and played 100+ levels in a row on a flight. ### 5/5 — great time waister *2015-02-16, version 5.2* A pretty simple app, easy to play and great for waisting time. ### 2/5 — Ok *2015-01-14, version 5.1* Fun but when they all shift to the side, I can't see the ones on the edge. And why do they double up? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Size *2026-08-02, version 8.1* Why have you changed the size of the balls now only half what we had old game please ### 1/5 — Latest update no good on phone *2022-12-29, version 7.1* I’ve enjoyed this app since I first got an iPhone. The latest update has mucked it up though as the screen size isn’t adjusted to display properly- one gets part of the game screen, but just the top LH corner. The block version of the game is the same. ### 1/5 — App no longer works on my phone. *2022-11-19, version 7.1* I have enjoyed playing this game for years on my iPad, iPod and, mostly on my iPhone. It’s a great way to pass a few minutes. Unfortunately, it no longer fits on my phone screen. The bottom few rows of bubbles are not visible at the bottom of the screen before the ads come up and, when they appear even less bubbles are visible. I would gladly upgrade to ads fee, but this doesn’t seem to be an option and wouldn’t bring the missing bubbles back up the screen. I have the same problem with Drop Blocks. I have reluctantly deleted both apps from my phone. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-11-06, version 5.1* When you manage to remove a column, the ones to the right move and overlay the ones to the left, leaving the game scrambled. Avoid ### 1/5 — Bubble pops is messed up *2014-09-10, version 5.1* The bubbles shift to the left and over lap. Needs some de-bugging! ### 1/5 — Hate it *2012-11-18, version 3.5* This is a crappy game I played it 10 times and it still boring :( ### 1/5 — Boring *2012-10-18, version 3.5* Sorry, but this game was just boring. Only played it 3 times. No challenge. ### 1/5 — Glitchy and slow *2012-09-14, version 3.1* There's a few seconds before the bubbles pop and even then they often don't pop at all. ### 1/5 — Just spam *2012-01-07, version 2.7* Played two levels then some sort of viral ad took over...no way to get out of it. Stay away from this worthless app! ### 1/5 — Stay away from this app *2011-12-03, version 2.7* There is a religious ad that takes over after you play roughly 100 games. I had to delete app just to get rid of it. I wouldn't install this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WOW!! *2026-02-16* Love it! So relaxing. You don’t have to do anything to have fun, but if you plan well, it can be very challenging. ### 5/5 — Needs Sound *2026-02-04* This game is amazing, but I feel like its needs at least a popping sound when u tap the bubbles. ### 5/5 — Memories excavated *2025-05-26* Very nostalgic ### 5/5 — Relaxation *2023-12-26* This game allows my mind to take a pause and recalibrate!! ### 5/5 — Bad Bubbles *2023-08-09* I enjoy the game. I hardly get rid of all the bubbles. The bubbles seem to shift in random ways but I guess that is just part of the game. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-08-31* I enjoy this game. It relaxes me. ### 5/5 — Just recently just dark screen and an add when I launch? *2022-05-11* Can't get help on app assistance just shows creator home page no way to ask questions **Developer response:** The latest update should fix this. ### 5/5 — I like this game *2015-12-23* I like this game a lot, great features, whenever i have free time pick up my phone and play my favorite game. ### 5/5 — Addicted *2015-12-23* I'm addicted to this game, simply the best! ### 5/5 — good game *2015-12-22* its good game with good graphics, I'm playing it all day long. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
