### 3/5 — Perfect for Apple Watch

*2026-06-20, version 16.0*

This is an ideal game for the Apple Watch due to the simple addictive gameplay. Only issue is that occasionally it resets all of your progress, this time when I got to level 22 🤬

### 1/5 — Indefinitely stuck

*2026-05-10, version 16.0*

Bubble bouncing forever between walls on Apple Watch in the attack game mode. There is no way of resetting this.

### 2/5 — Latest upgrade sucks

*2026-03-24, version 16.0*

I used to love this game until I upgraded it. LONG ADS for failing a level.  Previously it used to be very short ones.  I would go back to the previous level if I could!

### 1/5 — Royal Kingdom adverts ruin this.  You cannot close the advert for it between games

*2026-03-09, version 16.0*

As above.  It’s impossible to play due to the advers that won’t go away

### 5/5 — Brilliant concept

*2026-03-03, version 16.0*

Gameplay is a daily requirement. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Fun but repetitive

*2025-11-16, version 15.9*

It’s fun for a bit but it just gets really repetitive and it yeah

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-07-24, version 15.9*

I played this game for several years and it is the only game I play and I absolutely love it

### 2/5 — Long ads every new game

*2025-05-07, version 15.9*

I’ve been playing this game for years and still love it. Normally you’d get an ad at the very beginning of play and maybe one after 30 or so games. As of today, 5/7/25, there are ads every new game and on top of that, they’re long ads. I’m so disgusted with it that I’ll probably rarely play Bubble Wars again. I get that the company needs to make money, but going from one ad every so often to one between every game that can’t be skipped is pretty rotten to your subscribers.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2025-04-12, version 15.8*

It's fun to play

### 3/5 — Needs colour change

*2025-03-10, version 15.8*

I think there’s an extra colour but I legit cannot see it, it just looks orange to me. Please remove the colour or make it stand out more as different. Too hard to distinguish
