It isn’t. Every two or three levels has an advert, most of which you have to hunt for the way to get out of. This isn’t relaxing, it’s more stress inducing bs. I will not suggest it to Anyone unless they have more patience than a deity. ### 4/5 — Christmas crush *2025-12-18* Good but the ads are annoying ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-11-26, version 2.101* I just want to play the game. I will NEVER get any of the games advertised. NEVER. ### 2/5 — Confused *2025-11-20, version 2.101* Not catching on to the rules nor purpose of tree ### 4/5 — Any more levels? *2025-11-16, version 2.101* I just spent $$ for some mittens and four way and now I notice I am on level 1,008. Are you adding levels soon? ### 3/5 — Liked it but… *2025-10-25, version 2.101* Like the game. Looks good and it is fun but there are just way too many ads and no way to buy “no ads” ### 2/5 — So frustrating *2025-09-18, version 2.100* I have enjoyed playing but when I get 3 stars it never records it I have 3 on many levels but end up on a game I mastered. The horrible glitch isn’t fun either. Please correct this for me there are numerous levels I have 3 stars on but it never shows when I select a level that shows 1 or 2 stars. Frustrating!!! ### 4/5 — Issues *2025-07-06* I’ve played the game for a few years and generally enjoy it but there are frustrating glitches. When you decide to use the option to increase time it often takes one of your turns but does not increase time. ### 4/5 — A Fun Game but…… *2024-12-09, version 2.97* The images are a bit too small. Could see them better if they were larger. Hard for older eyes to focus. ### 4/5 — Help! *2024-01-22* I love this game and as it gets more difficult I find I need to watch the stupid ads. However, when I do and try to go back to the game, no matter what I do, it always just starts a new game! It never brings me to where I was in the game I was playing! Am I doing something wrong? ### 3/5 — Ads Keep Freezing *2023-12-24* So frustrated with the way the ads (particularly the Vita Jigsaw ads) freeze up, causing me to actually restart my iPad and lose any progress I had made before the ad froze everything. Also, when that happens, I lose the progress I had made on the ornament challenge. And it makes me start over. Please fix that! I’m about to delete this game. ### 1/5 — Freezes up on ads *2023-11-27, version 2.96* This would be a good game if you didn’t get stuck on ads! Don’t download! ### 3/5 — Nelson *2023-11-18* I love this game but 1) it freezes up a lot and then I have to start the level over and 2) it says I’ve failed because I’ve run out of time and the timer is showing lots of time left. Plus I do the ad thing to get extra time. I’ve deleted it. Hope when I try again it’ll be fixed. ### 1/5 — Freezing *2023-08-06, version 2.92* PLEASE STOP THIS FREEZING IF SCREEN AFTER WINNING A GAME!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-03-18, version 2.101* Hate the ads ### 1/5 — Not worth the hassle *2026-01-02* I don’t mind some ads, but if I’m spending as much time trying to find the nonexistent X, to close the ad (instead of it forcing me to open my App Store app) and return to the game — well, it just isn’t worth it. I actually spent more time playing the advertised game than I did the actual game. Sorry to have to delete the app, the game is fun, but ultimately not worth the hassle of trying to play. ### 1/5 — Level Failed AFTER watching the ad *2025-12-10, version 2.101* Your ads no longer have the little X to exit out once finished so that I can get back to my game, it’s happened three times where there’s no x and I have to just completely get out of the app, losing my game. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2025-11-01, version 2.101* Ad after ad after ad….. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2025-06-16, version 2.98* The game glitches quite a bit. And when it does, there is no one contact. You’re just screwed. They’ll gladly take your money if you’re dumb enough to spend it, but there is no support at all. ### 1/5 — Too sluggish *2024-11-23, version 2.97* And way too may adds. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-11-21, version 2.97* I’m trying to like this game but it says watch an ad for extra bonus time then if your lucky you get 5 seconds before it says you ran out of time. I tried several times, same thing. Too many stupid ads. But I’m not stupid. Not wasting anymore time on this deceitful game. DELETING ASAP ### 1/5 — Level froze 2/18/24 *2024-02-18, version 2.97* Could u fix this? ### 1/5 — Too many technical issues *2024-02-03* There are so many problems with thugs game, I cannot count them. Two major problems: you might try moving a piece one direction only to have the program move it in another; it shows you have x amount of time, but it quits with time left. It gives you a chance to watch ads to increase your time. Most games actually give you a goal to reach. I haven’t figured out what the goals are with this. It has been very poorly programed. ### 1/5 — Level Failed AFTER watching the ad *2023-12-06, version 2.96* I like to come back to this game every December. Since playing December 1st of this year, I encountered this happening three times where after watching an ad to get more time, I returned to a pop-up box that says level failed, and then I ran out of time. That’s pretty frustrating. Please fix, otherwise I will delete this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-01-11* This has been my stress reliever for many years. I like knowing what I need to do to accomplish the goals. I especially loved working towards the ornaments on the tree. I guess I’m done though because I’ve got three stars on every level and my tree is full and I can’t make anymore ornaments. I wish I could start all over! I love this game! ### 5/5 — Christmas Holiday Crush Games *2024-12-24, version 2.97* I love it. 🎄❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-11-01* So I love it bc when it’s Christmas you have a fun game to play I promise it’s amazing it’s for any age to be honest ### 5/5 — Apparently Stinks *2024-01-04* Going by what I have been reading under your reviews the general consensus is that your game stinks. But apparently you are not taking the public seriously. So I am joining the ranks of others and deleting you once again. I sincerely hope someone else starts a fair and reliable game like yours and all of us disgusted customers will load theirs and you won’t have anyone. You won’t listen and you won’t fix any glitches….so what’s fair is fair. Too bad! ### 5/5 — Christmas crush *2023-11-08, version 2.96* It’s super fun and it’s light hearted ### 5/5 — Yes jayashree. *2023-10-01, version 2.93* Like it very very much. ### 5/5 — SP. that’s a fun game *2023-06-07, version 2.92* Take time to check it out. ### 5/5 — Level 433 , 435 , 439 *2023-05-28* These levels has frozen up on me more times than I can count, it’s so frustrating. I love this game but I’m about to delete it. Because you can’t enjoy it for fear of freezing the heck up!! Please fix if possible!! There’s an ad that freezes up dealing with some privacy acts and it freezes up just about the time you’re cleared the dang board. Why would you run an the freezes the yuck up?? Will you PLEASE fix Level 855 needs to be fixed! Dang, it’s like if you don’t download a game you’re punished because the game will immediately tell you you’ve run out of time. So frustrating because you have only one or two plays to go before you clear the board! I’ve been playing this game for quite some time now because I love it. I’ve deleted it but always find myself reloading it . I have finally decided I’m licked! Yeah, I give up on thinking you will see this malfunction and fix it. That sure didn’t happen. This old lady is signing off!!! ### 5/5 — Freezes *2023-02-13* I actually like playing the game. BUT I can almost be finished with a game and the ad(s) will freeze!! I try to fix it and I’m forced to start the game over 😳 It doesn’t happen every time but enough times to be annoying. Is this a fixable problem? Sometimes the game itself will freeze.🙄 It’s me again 👋🏼 Please stop repeating my boards 🙏🏼 OMG ITS FREEZING UP SO MUCH! Okay, I will soon delete the game and never return ‼️ ### 5/5 — Bittersweet 2 *2023-02-02* I have seen the other reviews and the have all been written a long time ago, please can you do something so that I can play the game again soon, I really miss it thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
