That’s not really very fair. You either have to buy moves or lose. ### 4/5 — This is what I think *2026-09-04, version 5.5.2.0* All of the candy crush friends keep me playing, like I’m trying to unlock all of them and have the gang altogether. But one thing, how am I gonna get gold? Isnt there sort of a challenge where I can get gold? I mean not just buying it with real money, there has to be a challenge to get it. Candy crush has a race, candy crush soda has challenge to survive for 5 levels, candy crush jelly has a challenge to survive for 7 levels, but where is the challenge for this game??? How? ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-27, version 5.5.2.0* The game is addictive I give them that, but the higher you go the more challenging it gets and there’s nothing wrong with that, however there are some instances where you know you about to concur a level I.e when you get the fish with only one last move and just one last obstacle to win that board the fish goes completely another direction instead of heading to concurring the last objective. To me I feel the game is skewed to have you lose to get you to buy more lives and other products to win. It’s infuriating and takes away from the excitement of the game. I immediately uninstalled the game. It’s like this on every version of candy crush. They skew it for you to lose in order to make you pay. ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-08-21, version 5.5.2.0* Levels are almost impossible, I'm only at level ten and I keep trying but I never win... Fun but way too hard. ### 4/5 — Glitches are maddening *2026-07-15, version 5.5.0.0* Truly enjoy this game but the glitches are ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Gets boring after a while *2026-07-07, version 5.4.1.0* Candy Crush Friends is fun, but after a while, the levels get boring and impossible to pass. And no, I’m not paying real money for fake gold bars for extra moves. However, the “friends” are really cute and silly, and I like the adorable candy-themed levels. I would recommend getting the game if you want, but be prepared for very hard levels. -chilicheesefrito ### 2/5 — Update *2026-06-25, version 5.4.1.0* Ever since the recent update, have had problems with the game-short to download, upcoming challenge disappeared. I have shut IPAD down and restarted without changing above issues ### 3/5 — Commercials *2026-06-17, version 5.4.1.0* The commercials are getting longer They are layered one on top of another Also the really long commercials freeze the screen Takes all the fun out of playing ### 5/5 — Candy crush *2026-06-17, version 5.4.1.0* Love this this is such a fun game. I love it game ### 5/5 — Awesome and fun *2026-06-16, version 5.4.1.0* Great game I’m never bored, love the characters you can play on. Love the new costumes and the holiday themes, needs more places where you can bust up board and get extra moves. It cost more to get extra moves on this game ### 5/5 — The greatest game ever created *2026-06-16, version 5.3.3.0* Five stars ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-08, version 5.3.3.0* I’m on level 2850 but it is because you realize side games to win boosters is a must. I know you must have ads but I was ripped off by daisy bras. I was to get 5 bras for 15.99 but they charged me 15.99 twice and I get 2 bras. When I complained to the company they gave me a 20% refund. No more ad purchased, except Temu. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-04, version 5.3.3.0* I am a Desert Storm Veteran ### 5/5 — Candy crush *2026-06-03, version 5.3.3.0* Great game keep your interest and fun could play for hours ### 4/5 — Mr Geo *2026-05-29, version 5.3.2.0* I have been playing candy but this one is something else. Try it for yourself. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Candy Crush Friends *2026-09-04, version 5.5.2.0* I gave it a 1 star because I can’t see any ADS to continue to play, therefore making it harder for me to play. ### 1/5 — Great till *2026-08-25, version 5.5.2.0* You get stuck ### 1/5 — My events disappear again!!!!!!! *2026-08-02, version 5.5.2.0* This happened to me a few months ago and I had to deal with it for weeks. I thought you’ve fixed the bug but now again?? I spent so much money on my account you are basically stealing money from your customers!!! ### 1/5 — Screen mode *2026-07-18, version 5.5.0.0* I need this game in landscape mode not portrait. I have everything set since I use iPad not iPhone to play. I’m old “80” can’t see that little screen. ### 1/5 — I didn’t get to play with friends *2026-06-03, version 5.3.2.0* I am very dissapointed to say that I downloaded this game in hopes to get to play with my friends as soon as I downloaded it but I was very dissapointed when I did not get to play with them asap. ### 1/5 — New Game *2026-05-28, version 5.2.0.0* I prefer the older version ### 1/5 — THE GAME THAT MAKES ME ANGRY THE MOST *2026-05-19, version 5.2.0.0* Download this game to have fun but it’s super difficult when you stop playing it for days magically it becomes easy but it’s frustrating and it makes me very angry because I download it to clear my mind but it’s the opposite it leaves you upset. ### 1/5 — Very Expensive *2026-05-16, version 5.2.0.0* Costs me a lot of money I can’t afford because I’m addicted. I hate it, but don’t have the willpower to stop. ☹️🥲 ### 1/5 — WORST GAME EVER *2026-05-13, version 5.2.0.0* Candy Crush is a predatory mess disguised as a puzzle game. It’s engineered to frustrate players on purpose, then shove overpriced boosters and lives in your face the second you fail. The difficulty spikes are ridiculous, skill barely matters, and progress is intentionally throttled unless you hand over money. Every tap is followed by an ad, a pop-up, or some fake “limited time” deal meant to pressure you into spending. What was once a casual game is now a manipulative cash trap that treats its players like walking wallets. It’s greedy, exhausting, and borderline insulting to anyone who just wants to play without being exploited. One star—and that’s generous. ### 1/5 — Hora de excluir o jogo. Função arrecadatória apenas *2026-05-01* A empresa estragou o jogo. Só quer arrecadar dinheiro. Não é mais possível passar fases sem gastar moedas. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game! 🙂 *2026-09-05, version 5.5.2.0* Altogether good but could you please fix the issue where the ads for more moves sometimes doesn’t appear? ### 5/5 — Needs New Character Costumes *2026-08-30, version 5.5.2.0* I’ve been playing for a long time and am past level 4000. Please make some new character costumes. I have all of them which makes doing special challenges kind of pointless and less fun. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-11, version 5.5.2.0* It’s calm me down, thank you,,,, ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-01, version 5.5.2.0* (Screaming in excitement) oh I love it so much but I miss when the character cries in the level failed screen please return it ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-20, version 5.5.0.0* I’ve been playing this game for years and it was one of my favorites. ### 5/5 — Avaliação👍👍👍👍 *2026-07-19* Maravilhoso! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-17, version 5.5.0.0* Love the game ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-15, version 5.5.0.0* Been playing this game for years and really enjoy it ### 5/5 — Too many apps *2026-07-07, version 5.4.1.0* I love the app but I wish didn’t opt out altogether from watching the apps ### 5/5 — Candy Crush Friends—Play This Game! *2026-07-02, version 5.4.1.0* Lots of relaxing fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
