As soon as I complete one board I just have to start another. Recommend! ### 5/5 — Boy Howdy games are greatttttt” *2023-09-29, version 1.16* I am 86 years old and I love this game. It gives me great pleasure and helps me keep my mind sharp. You have the best games on my iPads Thakyou, Margaret ### 5/5 — Best matching game ever *2023-07-11* This game is the best matching game. Every character is clear and colorful. Is has so many levels that you can go on and on. You never get tired of it. There isn't any pop up distractions of other games. Who ever designed this game, my hat is off to you for keeping going. I do not care what age you are, this game hits the mark the most games don't achieve----they keep you as a player. They have some other games but this is by far the best. I hope you can come up with one that will last as long as this one. Love this game. You deserve an award for the design. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2023-06-04, version 1.15* Fun, no stress…..just a good challenge ### 5/5 — Connect *2023-02-27, version 1.15* Love the game but wish there was an undo button. ### 5/5 — Still play every chance I get *2023-02-20, version 1.15* A sure sign of a good game right? Still go to it whether on tablet or phone when I have a few minutes to pass. ### 5/5 — Enjoy this each evening to relax the end of my day. *2023-01-10, version 1.13* I challenge myself to get the most points. I wish there would be a goal/goals to reach for each game. Seems pointless to keep my own Talley. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2023-01-05, version 1.13* This is my latest addiction! I thoroughly enjoy your games! They are the only ones I play. I’m retired and I play many on my iPhone and iPad. Please keep them comin’! ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-04, version 1.13* I’m using the 9x9 grid and that suits my abilities. No intrusive ads, and enjoyable gameplay which maintains its appeal over time. ### 5/5 — This totally Free gam is wonderful!!! *2022-12-08, version 1.13* This Totally Free game is wonderful! I wish you folks Much success! 🎆🕊🕊🕊 ### 5/5 — I’m hooked! *2022-12-07, version 1.13* I’ve been playing this game for months now and really enjoy it. No annoying ads which is the best! It keeps my interest, is relaxing yet challenging at the same time. ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2022-11-03, version 1.12* I really enjoy playing these sort of games!! ### 5/5 — All boy howdy games are great *2022-07-25, version 1.12* No stupid annoying ads for other games. And the games are fun. Ads for other games spoil the game so am glad boy howdy games are just the game. Other companies advertise that they have no annoying ads, but they do. They have annoying ads for other games. ### 5/5 — Puzzle fun *2022-07-01, version 1.12* This game is awesome. ### 5/5 — How do you add higher and more points per game? *2022-05-10, version 1.12* How do I add higher and more points per game? I never move on the scoreboard. Lolli 3 ### 5/5 — Different emojis *2022-03-02, version 1.12* Could you please use some different emojis? The ones with the scary or nasty faces creep me out. It’s time for something a little different! Peacocks ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2022-01-19, version 1.12* Have enjoyed your games for years. This one was new to me but very quickly became addicted — in the nicest way. I hope you may eventually add even more levels as the game is so enjoyable. I use an older iPad mini and a wonderful thing about all your games is that it is not a battery drainer. And the advertisements are never intrusive. You are leaders in reliable performance and present a solid enjoyable game that instantly pleases and des not rely on constant new bells and whistles to entertain. You get them correct from the beginning. Many thanks, and now back to the game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid popup message *2020-07-14, version 1.5* A lot of these games has an option to disable messages not this one. If you have an invalid selection a message pops up and annoys the hell out of the player. ### 1/5 — Made a mistake getting this game *2020-06-01, version 1.4* It says only three lines but then When you tap on a pair from far away it works then the next one doesn’t I don’t recommend this game it’s a waste of your time. ### 4/5 — Responsive *2025-05-05, version 1.22* This is one of my “go to” games when I need a little break. It has some challenge to it to keep my brain active, yet is not overly hard. When I sent a message to the Howdy folks with a question, I received prompt reply and fix to a problem. They were very responsive. ### 4/5 — Boy Howdy games are greatttttt” *2023-09-08* I am 86 years old and I love this game. It gives me great pleasure and helps me keep my mind sharp. You have the best games on my iPads Thakyou, Margaret ### 4/5 — Progress keeps resetting *2020-06-05, version 1.4* I LOVE this game and all other Boy Howdy apps, but for some reason my levels aren’t saving when I switch difficulty levels. I play tricky or hard mostly and have gotten up to 250 in just a week or so. My daughter plays on light and medium and when i switch back I’m only at level 2 or 3. I know there’s no rewards or anything for leveling up but it’s a personal goal to reach a certain level as it helps with my anxiety. Like I said I love all the boy howdy apps, and won’t uninstall or anything, just wanted to see if perhaps it was a bug. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Fun and catchy *2026-07-13, version 1.29* Make matches to clear the board. Learn how to make matches without having it reshuffle the board is fun and challenging ### 5/5 — So addictive *2026-05-10, version 1.27* Love,love,love this game. It doesn’t have crazy ads. The ads are actually on the bottom of the game, but does not interfere with playing the game. I love that these games are free, and no timers so you can play at your own pace. I play a lot of Boy Howdy games, but this one is my favourite by far. I would highly recommend Boy Howdy games. ### 5/5 — Challenging *2025-12-01, version 1.25* Makes you think. Challenges your brain. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-02-03, version 1.21* This is fun and challenging.i only play when i am on my treadmill it keeps me going because the game is a challenge. ### 5/5 — Connect jewels *2024-12-08, version 1.21* I was going blind and had two cornea transplants and can see great now. Told the Dr about this game he said good play all you want. Thanks being with me while healing and relaxing. Joyce ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2024-09-19, version 1.21* This game you have many levels, therefore you can play without any ads. What we all are looking for. It keeps surprising you as you go thru the levels and the tiniest change in a picture will keep your attention. This is great for your attention spam. Other game designers can learn from this game. Cannot say enough good things about this game. ### 5/5 — Addictive and fun game *2024-07-29, version 1.21* I have been playing this game for several months since I first discovered it. To me it’s the “brain teaser” of all brain stimulation games, so fun and challenging. I have played so many times and yet I can get the same challenge from the same repeated patterns. You gotta try this. I was having too much fun I tried to get bored with it. So I deleted it, missed it so much I opened it up again and again and again. And this is free, with no ads? Gotta get this one and any of the Boy Howdy Games. They are all great. ### 5/5 — Connect jewels *2024-04-06, version 1.18* I love this game, best thing about it you are not on a timer so you get plenty of time to think and work out the puzzles ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2024-01-13, version 1.17* I really enjoy playing these sort of games!! I find them great fun and entertaining too. ### 5/5 — I’m hooked! *2023-12-13, version 1.17* I’ve been playing this game for year now and really enjoy it. No annoying ads which is the best! It keeps my interest, is relaxing yet challenging at the same time. I’ve downloaded and played several of the Connect Jewels games but this one is my absolute favorite. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
