Glitch? ### 3/5 — Addicting *2026-05-14* I use to play this only in winter. But, the short games are addictive. Which is so sad, I almost never win with the chipmunk and I even more rarely complete one of the other games. However, with addictions, you just keep playing and hoping! No, I don’t use money to buy stuff. I just go with what I get. I was very sad my diamonds don’t stay put. The first time my 9 extra diamonds had a minus that decreased when I won a single diamond, I almost cried. Now, it’s just what happens. Not fun, but whatever. Sure doesn’t make a person want to have them, though! Used to save them for a very important moment… now, it’s not important. If they exist, so be it. Otherwise, it’s gimmick. Now, off to play with pick wielding chipmunks! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback! We’re glad the game keeps bringing you back, even outside the winter season. We’re sorry to hear about the issue with your diamonds. Please contact our support team through the game or at support@charstudio.com so we can investigate what’s happening and help you. ### 3/5 — Addicting *2026-05-06, version 11.9.9* I use to play this only in winter.

Das Problem wurde erkannt und wir arbeiten bereits an einer Lösung. Bitte installieren Sie das nächste Update, sobald es verfügbar ist. Vielen Dank für Ihre Geduld und den Hinweis! ### 2/5 — Update or download an earlier version *2026-03-24* I have been playing this game for a longtime. It now asks me to update it but when I try it says I need to update my iPad to a later version. I am unable to do this. I cannot afford a new iPad and the game will not play without it. It says I can upload an earlier version but it won’t let me do that either. I will have to delete the game altogether. **Developer response:** Thank you for your long-time support - we truly appreciate it. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Some updates require newer iOS versions to ensure stability and security. Unfortunately, older versions may no longer be supported. Please contact us at support@charstudio.com, and we’ll do our best to assist you. ### 3/5 — Very frustrating! *2026-03-09, version 11.9.8* Since the last update. I keep getting denied the ability to play the Santa quest! It tells me I already tried and only get two tries! But I haven’t tried! I’m at level 1984 so I think I know how the game works! Then, I want to report this to app support but can’t! I just get led to websites in another language! How can I get someone to look into this! Very frustrating! ### 3/5 — Fun but….. *2026-01-19, version 11.9.3* TOO MANY ADS! ### 5/5 — Non funziona *2025-12-17, version 11.9.2* Non funziona ### 5/5 — Feedback *2025-12-17* Das Spiel macht sehr viel Spaß, ist schön gestaltet, und für zwischen eine gute Abwechslung ☺️ für groß und klein und für die ganze Familie ein Spaß ☺️ kann es nur sehr empfehlen ### 5/5 — Christmas Sweeper *2025-12-16, version 11.9.1* My favorite game! ### 5/5 — Best Christmas game *2025-12-14, version 11.9.1* Nice game and I truly enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-01, version 11.9.1* Really am enjoying this app. Lots of levels and good quality graphics. ### 5/5 — Christmas sweeper *2025-11-27, version 11.9.1* I play this every time the same time every year ### 5/5 — Christmas sweeper *2025-11-25, version 11.9.1* I love this game it kills a lot of time when I’m off work. ### 5/5 — Play this game every year *2025-11-24, version 11.9.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Fun Match Game *2025-11-22, version 11.9.1* Lots of challenges to keep you matching for hours! ### 5/5 — Cool game *2025-11-21, version 11.9.1* I like the idea I can play this and earn GC with Fetch rewards ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SHEIN adds are ridiculous! *2026-08-16, version 12.0.4* Come on with these adds that pop up without Eve touching it!!!

Now that I did the iPad 16.7.15 update, char logo comes up and just freezes and doesn’t load. Help! ### 1/5 — Deleting *2025-11-20, version 11.9.1* I downloaded this game because I enjoy match three games but I deleted it because I was on level 10 and still was getting the tutorial. I have done match three games for many years. You should be able to disable the tutorial. The game would be enjoyable if I could play without interruption. ### 1/5 — Non opening game *2025-11-09* Once again it’s stopped opening after an update. Was a good game but now useless. After update it worked, then another update and it no longer opens. What is going on? Still no action. Game will no longer open at all **Developer response:** We’re very sorry the game stopped opening again after the update. This isn’t expected behavior, and we understand how frustrating it is. Please contact us at support@charstudio.com with your device details so we can investigate and help resolve this as quickly as possible. ### 1/5 — Non opening game *2025-11-03, version 11.9.0* Once again it’s stopped opening after an update. Was a good game but now useless. After update it worked, then another update and it no longer opens. What is going on? ### 1/5 — Non opening game *2025-10-27, version 11.9.0* Once again it’s stopped opening after an update. Was a good game but now useless ### 1/5 — Free chances are frozen *2025-08-26, version 11.8.0* When given the free turn option one must watch a commercial for another turn. As of 8/23/25 the commercials are stuck in a repeat pattern and one is unable to close them out and return to finish game. Please fix ASAP. ### 1/5 — Was fun but... *2025-07-28, version 11.7.2* I've been playing this game for a long time and loved it. The variety of games is great. But I play mostly on an IPhone and due to the persistent ads at the bottom of the page my choices are nonexistent. The ads cover the buttons to move pages. So I can play whatever the first game opened and that's it. I'm about done with it. ### 1/5 — Latest Update *2025-05-08, version 11.5.5* I cannot see the top or bottom of the screen since the latest update. Same thing happened with the update before but it was corrected within a day or two. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More Wins *2026-07-10, version 12.0.2* I have been playing this game for years and I love it. I will never be a person who pays for rewards, though. A few more wins without paying would be nice. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-06-11* Muito divertido ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-05-18, version 12.0.0* Easy to play ### 5/5 — App lässt sich nicht mehr starten *2026-04-28* Mitten im Spiel hat sich die App aufgehängt, beim aktuellen Spiel war plötzlich wieder alles auf Anfang gesetzt und jetzt lässt sich die App nicht mehr öffnen und es ist nur der Startbildschirm zu sehen. Nachtrag: Neuinstallation hat geholfen, ich hatte Sorge, dass ich wieder bei Null anfangen muss. Aber dem war nicht so: Alles läuft wieder toll, danke! 👍 **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass sich die App aufgehängt hat und jetzt nicht mehr startet. Das sollte nicht passieren. Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass die neueste Version installiert ist und starten Sie Ihr Gerät neu.

I love the app. It’s a good way to destress. ### 5/5 — El más adictivo y mejor juego del mundo. *2026-04-04, version 11.9.9* Llevo más de seis años jugando este juego, especialmente me gusta en época de Navidad por la música, pero igual suelo jugarlo bastante durante todo el año. Señora una sola vez por eliminar los anuncios.
