Very frustrating as it is one of my stress busters but now increases my stress because of this! 😊 ### 1/5 — And still I keep hoping, still you keep letting me down. Multiple people reporting the game crash! *2026-03-18, version 3.0.6* Are you even trying? If you can’t fix the game, maybe you should take it down. Worked well for a couple of days, but here we are again! I used to love this game. NOT anymore since it crashes every game! Sad that you have not been able to fix the glitch! We are STILL, STILL, STILL having this same issue. I am not the only one reporting this. The game suddenly closes mid game or the app closes at the end of a game. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — Had to delete *2026-03-12, version 3.0.6* I have had this game for 6 years. I loved it. It was my go to game. Lately I have been getting kicked out of halfway through a game, losing a life and whatever else I used. This has happened so much that I deleted it. There are plenty of other games that won’t piss me off about losing a life. ### 1/5 — And still I keep hoping, still you keep letting me down.

Note the reviews, note the date of their last game update, Note their responses to people’s new reviews (7 yrs earlier). Note title/ratings of reviews (crashing/crashes). This is a gaming company that is taking YOUR money/profiting by watching their ads. Doing no upkeep on their platform because they cannot FIX it. They’re not going to fix it because they cannot. They’re holding on for your $$$$$$$$. Do not support! ### 1/5 — And still I keep hoping, still you keep letting me down.

It continually just shuts down in the middle of a game. If you can’t fix your app issues you need to take it down! I only gave it 1 star because it will not let me select zero stars!!! ### 1/5 — Why 1 star .game does give you new levels takes weeks. *2026-01-13, version 3.0.6* I have been at a stand still on 5436 level for 10 days. Emailed support, still not fixed missed most so vip days and many free times I earned. Is level 5436 end of game. Well now for last several weeks I made it to 6924 and then there is clouds no new level …says earn 3 stars I did on 6922, 6923 and 6924 after days of playing …why do you care if I only win level by one star. Are more levels coming . Please fix . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game crashes frequently *2026-06-19, version 3.0.6* In the last few weeks the game has been crashing a lot while I am playing it. I tried closing the apps running in the background but it doesn’t seem to help. This problem has happened in the past but went for a long time with no problem. Now it has started up again. ### 1/5 — Broken now *2026-06-02, version 3.0.6* Just like all the Storem8 games, it just randomly disappears and exits on IOS, especially when you’re about to win. And don’t even bother to write to support. Their “bots” automatically close your support ticket without even sending you a @we don’t care” response. ### 1/5 — Game keep crashing *2026-05-06, version 3.0.6* The Game keep crashing and closing the app I Keep losing life every time fix this ### 1/5 — STOP! *2026-05-02, version 3.0.6* OMG Please STOP IT with the Gossip Harbor ads! The game shown in the ads doesn’t even exist, and the ads are horrific. I can’t take it anymore! ### 1/5 — เข้าเกมไม่ได้ *2026-04-21, version 3.0.6* ช่วยอัพให้ด้วยค่ะกดเข้าไปเล่นไม่ได้เลย ### 1/5 — Games crashes *2026-04-17, version 3.0.6* What was once a fun game has become unusable. It crashes ( at least every second week) and has to be reopened after each game. This results in no rewards for successfully completing a level. Needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. Is this app still being updated? If not kindly let user know that what you see is what you get. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-17, version 3.0.6* WARNING AVOID THIS GAME! Edited 4/17/26 This might be the only game where you are forced to watch an ad (that Storm 8 gets paid when you watch). Ads interrupt gameplay and if you do not watch, you lose that play. Note the reviews, note the date of their last game update (coming up on 2 years now). Note their responses to people’s new reviews (7 yr old responses). Note title/ratings of reviews (crashing/crashes). This is a gaming company that is taking YOUR money/profiting by watching ads they get paid for you to watch. Doing no upkeep on their platform because they cannot FIX it. They’re not going to fix it because they cannot. They’re holding on for your $$$$$$$$. Do not support! ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-04-12, version 3.0.6* Le jeu ferme en pleine game, j’ai deleter ### 1/5 — Constant Crashes and Ads *2026-03-27, version 3.0.6* Unfortunately, the game has constant ads and crashes when you are about to successfully complete a level. This means you have to go back and replay the level. The game was so much in the past, but now it is too frustrating to play. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2026-03-27, version 3.0.6* Always closes spontaneously ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — QUESTION- *2026-08-03, version 3.0.6* LOVE the game!!! What’s up with the HATERS??? They don’t dig the game, they pass blame cause they shame and they sho’ don’t understand the game! “I LOVE THIS GAME! But I don’t understand how to play it!!!” Said no one...ever. And to all you YOUNG people out there...Be Kind. Especially when volunteering your opinion (positive or negative), being asked for your opinion (honest, helpful, insightful), or just being mean and petty. Typically, a Review is code for ‘we welcome any and all user input which may be interpreted as constructive, creative, considerate, and compassionate. HATERS need not respond. ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-06-17, version 3.0.6* This is the first app-game that I've become honestly addicted to. I’ve had it for years and love it. So much better than candy crush and much cuter too! Unfortunately it’s been crashing a lot the last several months on and off, also you can no longer use candy or cupcake mania without wifi/data which is really disappointing. ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-05-20, version 3.0.6* I dont mind watching ads To support the team. But Vita Mahjong offers no way out of its ad except to close your app. Could you drop Them or ask them to fix it. I will never download their games just because of this issue ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-04-09, version 3.0.6* This is the first app-game that I've become honestly addicted to. I’ve had it for years and love it. So much better than candy crush and much cuter too. Unfortunately it’s been crashing a lot the last several months. ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-01-25, version 3.0.6* This is the first app-game that I've become honestly addicted to. I’ve had it for years and love it. So much better than candy crush and much cuter too. Unfortunately it’s been crashing a lot the last several months and now both Candy Mania and Cupcake Mania won’t let you play without Wi-Fi or data which is very unfortunate. If I’m out and just waiting around for something I like to play a level but not if it’s going to eat up a bunch of data. ### 5/5 — Do NOT download this game!!! *2025-12-29, version 3.0.6* I have been playing and loving this game for a long time; but now it completely sucks! I continually just shuts down in the middle of a game. If you can’t fix your app issues you need to take it down! ### 5/5 — Stop crashing *2025-07-11, version 3.0.6* Please stop crashing ### 5/5 — Game App Closes *2025-06-09, version 3.0.6* The gaming app closes itself while playing the game ### 5/5 — Update *2025-05-05, version 3.0.6* When was the last time this game has been updated??? Can’t earn rewards!! Game crashes 😡please fix the issue ### 5/5 — Bug *2025-01-25, version 3.0.6* After playing each game on events it close the app. Please fix it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
