You are deceiving the public. ### 3/5 — HINTS, not optional *2026-03-23, version 1.52.0310* The game is fun, vibrant and moves gradually in difficulty and strategy. For me, not having the option to disable hints defeats the purpose of a strategy game; nothing to strategize. Just wait a few seconds and the game will give you your next move. Without the hints, again just my opinion, definitely 5-star game. ### 3/5 — Candy Pop Story *2025-12-14, version 1.35.1203* This game is fun! I paid for No Adds and still getting them! Don’t waste your time on purchasing the No Adds! ### 4/5 — Link game progress *2025-12-13, version 1.35.1203* Disappointing ### 4/5 — Craziecoonie *2025-11-25, version 1.33.1118* Starts off slow. I hope it picks up. I want to join a team! ### 1/5 — Gereksiz reklam *2025-08-23, version 1.26.0812* Her bölümden sonra reklam çıkmaya devam edecekse berbat bir oyun 👎🏻 reklamlar kaldırılmalı ya da en azından seyrekleştirilmeli ### 1/5 — They kinda lie to you *2025-08-19, version 1.26.0812* Thus is a pretty good version of this kind of game. Challenging without being annoying. No silly story to it, just a good game. It’s still getting one star. You can spin the wheel 6 times a day, once for free, 5 times after watching an ad. I noticed something, and kept track of what I got over 10 days, this is what I got. Power Ups Barrel - 13 Die - 5 Globe - 11 Hammer - 2 Heart - 8 Helicopter - 13 X50 - 8 X5000 - 0 Notice something missing? I should have gotten 5000 coins at least once or twice in that time. They dangle that 5000 in front of you so you’ll keep giving them ad revenue. They obviously make it impossible to get. I paid for no ads, and I would have bought some power ups here and there. I believe in supporting games that treat their players fairly. This one doesn’t. 1 star ### 2/5 — 広告無しは嘘 *2025-08-16* 課金すれば広告無しにできます。難易度は普通。クリアしていけばアイテム貰えるので、微課金すれば問題ない。しかし、このゲームは「No Adds」と宣伝しているので、不信感から星２。 ### 3/5 — Bonus Time *2025-08-10, version 1.25.0729* Great game and I just love when it says BONUS TIME at the end of a level. Makes me get hard and wanna bang my wife hardcore. ### 1/5 — Not really fun *2025-07-26, version 1.23.0722* Over 1 min adds, really. Taking my valuable time and the free time away from my boosters ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — An update after a year *2026-04-09, version 1.53.0325* A year ago I spent a month spinning the wheel 5 times a day because I noticed I had never hit the 5000 coins. In that month I also never hit 5000 coins. I left a 1 star review talking about this and the company cut and pasted some mealy mouthed BS that the wheel was fair. It’s not. They want you to buy coins, not win them. I did an update in December. Still no 5000 on the wheel. Same mealy mouthed reply. Now a year later I have my final review, still 1 star. I have spun the wheel every morning. I have accumulated this … Helicopter - 222 Globe - 191 Barrel - 222 Hammer - 66 1x dice - 22 28469 coins A lot of hearts, but I didn’t keep count. And I never hit the 5000 coins. They lie. Simple as that. If I like a game, I pay for no ads if they do that. I buy some powerups every so often. But I only do that with game makers that I feel treat their customers fairly. This company does not. They dangle the 5000 coins under your nose so you’ll run an ad for each of the other 4 spins every morning. You will never hit it. Another example of greed over a well balanced game. I await the same mealy mouthed reply. ### 1/5 — Deception *2026-03-31, version 1.53.0325* Started out as great game then forced to join a team ; whereas, l’d rather play alone. Deleted ### 1/5 — Adv and impossible *2026-02-23, version 1.50.0210* Not bad only this stup….adv every second level just broke all fun….And after win streak challenge just some levels impossible done without coins or booster.Many levels with under 20step?????Ridiciolus!!!Very clever.Other money hungry developers!!!And I read someone paid for adv off and still get.Why no response for this????Why you so silence????? ### 1/5 — Adverts *2026-01-25, version 1.38.0113* I have paid for no adverts but still keep getting them. No adverts means NO ADVERTS so why do I still get them ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-15, version 1.38.0113* I love the game. Trying so hard to keep loving it but the ads… my gosh there are so many dang ads. I understand having to watch ads to get rewards, but every time a level is over there is an ad. And they aren’t just your normal 30sec ads either. Some of them are as long as 90+ seconds. It really takes away from the experience. Honestly. I’m probably going to delete the game soon because of this. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Problem *2026-01-12* Bleibe jeden Tag kurz nach Beginn hängen und kann nicht weiterspielen, dass ist wirklich sehr ärgerlich … ### 1/5 — Advert algorithm broken *2025-12-17, version 1.35.1203* Gameplay spoilt by repeated adverts for games already downloaded. No way to end repeat ads so gave up and deleted app . ### 1/5 — They lie *2025-12-15, version 1.35.1203* Some months ago I posted some stats in my review. No matter how many times I would spin the wheel, I could never get the 5000 coins. The programmers responded that it was possible. They lied. Now 8 or 9 months later I have spun the wheel once every day (ok, I may be a little obsessive) and received dozens of everything else on the wheel. I have never gotten 5000 coins. It's on there to coerce you into spinning repeatedly, and everything after the first spin means you have to watch an ad. But you cannot get the 5000 coins, because they want you to pay money for those. Do not support game publishers that lie. This could so easily be a 5 star game, it really is a fun example of this type of game. If only the programmers were fair to their customers. ### 1/5 — The game locks. *2025-12-15, version 1.35.1203* The game locks up when you get further in, it just shows a ‘Forest Rescue’ screen with no way of moving on. ### 1/5 — Candy pop story match 3 *2025-10-07, version 1.29.0923* Says no ads. Definitely shoving ads down our throats. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Candy Pop Story *2026-08-21, version 1.65.0812* This is a very cool game, always will be.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎 ### 5/5 — Candy Pop Story *2026-06-23, version 1.60.0617* This game is awesome.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👍 ### 5/5 — Blood *2026-05-29, version 1.58.0519* This game is so much fun ### 5/5 — Candy Pop Story:Match 3 *2026-04-21, version 1.55.2208* THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! ### 5/5 — Blood *2026-03-19, version 1.52.0310* This game is so much fun ### 5/5 — Candy pop story: match 3 *2026-02-16, version 1.50.0210* This was the best game I’ve ever played in my entire life and I love it so much and I so much fun with it🤗🤥🙄😴😴😴😴😴😴 ### 5/5 — Game *2026-02-01, version 1.39.0127* Excellent ### 5/5 — Sam game *2025-11-21, version 1.33.1118* I love this game.
