For replying. Most of the time they never fix the games. I got to a point that I won’t spend no more money on no game cause they don’t fix them, so I report it the best way I can and I’ve gotten where I don’t spend no more money and just delete. I’ve also have gotten where they were taking games off that I know I did not delete and some that I did they would put them back on.. I knew they did it cause on a couple that I really liked was taken off. Here’s your reply, no the game don’t freeze. When I go to play it the screen deems to almost white ,then the game will come on. There is something wrong. All the games that did it I took off my iPads. I figured that I wouldn’t get a reply and it started to bug me a lot. There was like 4 games that did it. They have a habit of also not fixing the games. So that’s another reason I will not buy till they start learning to stop doing the people like that. But the screen turns almost white but I can play the game but like I said it bugs me alot **Developer response:** Please, tell us what do you mean by "turns white". Did the game free or something else? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-09-22* Sorry Candy Riddles just deleted app off my phone. The ads were to consuming. Hopefully you will fix. Until then off to find a new game. **Developer response:** Hello there! The bug was fixed in the previous update. We are sorry for the inconveniences caused. ### 1/5 — Cheated out of coins *2020-08-11* Several times in the past week I chick on daily rewards and I received 50coins only the coins do not go to the game for me to use. If I want to play on I have to buy coins . This is so wrong so far iv lost over 200 coins very very upsetting as this is or was my favorite game not anymore 🤬 **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for the review. Please, update the game and let us know if your problem was solved. ### 1/5 — Rave Reviews? *2019-04-20* After all the rave reviews I read, I decided to download the game. I was very disappointed. I signed up on Facebook so I could play from my phone or iPad. Every time I tried to collect anything, the system took me to Facebook to post something on my page or I couldn’t collect. Ridiculous and childish. Plus it’s no different than any of the other Match 3 games. I’ve already deleted this game. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. Actually, you can collect items even without sharing the news about it with others on your Facebook page. There is an option to check this box off. We would appreciate if you gave Candy Riddles a second chance! ### 1/5 — Candy riddles *2019-01-10* Was enjoying the game but for some reason it won't load anymore.Not happy.Deleted game,downloaded it again got to level 136 and same thing game won't load,definitely not happy. ### 1/5 — Yet another dreadful match-3 game! *2018-12-11, version 1.85.0* This review will either end up at the bottom of the list of reviews or vanish completely like so many other poor reviews I have left for so many other games.... I don’t like match three games where I am forced to waste a help item in this case a Spoon Booster and whatever other help items there will be! If we don’t use it like in this case to remove the purple jelly on stage five, the first time we see the Spoon Booster, then purple jellies should come onto the playing area and line up with that one as another way to remove it and keep the help item! ### 1/5 — Crash *2018-09-04, version 1.42.3* Game keep crashing otherwise a good game ### 2/5 — Ads *2024-09-17* After the last update, the ads are to many. After completing a game now have to watch an ad. They are longer than before and annoying. So I think it’s time to end my playing after many years of playing the game.😔😔 **Developer response:** Hello there! The bug was fixed in the previous update. We are sorry for the inconveniences caused. ### 2/5 — What happened? *2023-02-27* Was enjoying the game, but the last update killed it. Game will not open any more. Here is my response to your untimely response - I have deleted your app. You waited four years to send me a response and expect me to still have your game active. Get real. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback.

We will be happy to help you!

We are glad that you enjoyed our game. If I understand you correctly, then you have lost your progress in the game. Please tell me if you changed the device you are playing on? ### 5/5 — What a great game *2021-03-09, version 1.213.0* I am sick of people complaining about games are borring . This game is addicting well done. My nephew. Who is artistic can play this no bother. ### 5/5 — Candy Riddles *2020-10-22* I love this game and it’s partner Sweet Treats? Been playing them both for several years. Sooo in the last year or so I can no longer get to play. As soon as you try to start playing, the screen goes white, back to the very beginning and you have lost a life. After about 3 try’s the screen just stays white and that’s it! Now you can wait a while and go back to it later, but you simply have the same results!! I know others have told you this same thing because I have read the reviews!! For heavens sakes, these are your games that you want people to play and spend money on, when we tell you this is the problem FIX IT!! Absolutely no excuse not to have done so MANY months ago!! Come on guys, get busy, you are losing customers and it’s your own fault! Sincerely Patti Shively Disappointed Gamer!!!! **Developer response:** Hi Patti! Thank you so much for your review. While we investigate and test out the problem, please, let me know what device do you use and what's your iOS version? It will help us catch this bug. ### 5/5 — Really fun Match 3 game! *2019-06-24* I play a lot of Match 3 games, and this has become a favorite! I wish the Blue Hero did more than disappear. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! We really appreciate it. As for the blue hero, it doesn't only disappear. It can either make other element on the field heroes or add multipliers to them. Don't forget to upgrade your heroes on the Heroes' Page. ;) ### 5/5 — Dapper *2019-06-15, version 1.130.0* Bit different but can be challenging ### 5/5 — Candy Riddles *2019-04-02, version 1.110.0* Best game app ever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
