### 3/5 — What is going on????

*2026-07-28, version 1.6.5*

First of all, I have been playing this for years!  Suddenly, when playing a level, my app closes on its on and I lose that life!  Happens frequently now. 

Next thing is how hard these levels are, I don’t mind the challenge, and I don’t mind spending money once in a while…

But come on!!!   Level 1684 is completely IMPOSSIBLE!  I have wasted days, lives, and money.

I’m done.  FIX IT!

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-05-29*

Good game but I hate to wait for the lives. No levels after 3098????????

### 2/5 — Es nervt nur noch

*2026-05-05*

Ich habe das Spiel immer gerne gespielt. Aber die Häufigkeit der Werbung nervt einfach nur noch. Was ich aber noch viel schlimmer finde, was für Werbung gezeigt wird. Mit deutschen Prominenten, die bestimmt nicht wissen, für welchen Schrott aus China sie da herhalten müssen. Echt traurig, dass solchen Abzockern hier so eine Plattform geboten wird.

### 4/5 — Gems?

*2026-03-15, version 1.6.5*

What happened to the option of earning 5 or 15 gems by watching videos? Please bring that back, there is no other way if getting gems other than buying them.

### 4/5 — More times to get free points

*2025-12-24, version 1.6.5*

The one thing I don’t liked about this game is you have to buy points, and not enough times for free points

### 4/5 — Fun game but…

*2025-12-19, version 1.6.5*

Some levels take weeks to get past. No good way to earn rewards to help with those levels.

### 3/5 — Level 3001

*2025-11-18, version 1.6.5*

This level is impossible to complete in 7 moves with random cookies are supposed to be falling that dont% please reevaluate this level and check for glitches as it is impossible to attain to many how many free help options you have! I guess I have to quit after over 13 yrs of playing this game.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2025-11-14, version 1.6.5*

Updated now it won’t work. Trying to download again

### 4/5 — Needs Support

*2025-09-21, version 1.6.4*

I have been playing this game for years but am increasingly frustrated by the lack of support. Why are there no weekly games and opportunities to earn rewards for use in the game? I also play Sugar Mania and that is far more rewarding. It is also far too quick off the mark to add 5 moves for an extortionate number of jewels at the end of each game.

### 4/5 — Needs Support

*2025-01-07, version 1.6.4*

### 3/5 — Lost saved games

*2024-12-26, version 1.6.4*

Got a new ipad, all saved games lost , even when I log in. Was up to level 1049. Can’t even start again as it won’t let me scroll to level 1. Hoping tech support can help.

### 4/5 — App crash at level 1702

*2024-09-14, version 1.6.4*

I have been playing this game for a very very very long time. Game keep crashing at level 1702.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2024-08-09, version 1.6.4*

Would like to see a few less ads and still be able to win points

### 3/5 — Love the game….but

*2024-07-31, version 1.6.4*

Sometimes it crashes and you lose your stars for that game along with a life.  Wish there was more than 5 lives.  Would play more if we were granted more lives.

### 5/5 — I really like this game

*2024-06-25, version 1.6.4*

I really enjoy this game a lot.

### 2/5 — Bug fixes

*2024-06-22, version 1.6.4*

Last bug fix was 3 years ago. That says it all. It’s too bad because it’s really a fun game but it crashes often after you have won a hard level and used special help(which costs you) and then it doesn’t advance you. So frustrating.

### 5/5 — Cupcake

*2024-05-26, version 1.6.4*

Absolutely love this game been playing it for years only my iPad don’t update was considering get new iPad but don’t want to loose my level as I’m on 1343

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-10, version 1.6.5*

The ads are awful.

### 1/5 — When I watch ads for gems it says oh darn and takes them away

*2026-01-13, version 1.6.5*

I watched the stupid ads, gives me the gems!

### 1/5 — DELETED THIS GAME - NONSTOP ADS

*2025-01-04, version 1.6.4*

Used most of my tokens up, & deleted the app. There are so many annoying ads that it is totally unenjoyable.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY ANYTHING

*2024-02-19, version 1.6.4*

Storm8 closes all help tickets with the response that they don’t respond to individual requests for help. The game crashes constantly and cheats you out of your purchase. Storm8 is made up of crooks!

### 1/5 — Fun game, ruined by constant ads

*2024-02-17, version 1.6.4*

Every other time I try a level, there’s another add. Long, unskippable ads that force you to tap around just to get it over with. It ruins any joy I can get from this game.

### 1/5 — wont stop crashing

*2023-11-17, version 1.6.4*

I have been playing this game for years and I am currently on level 889.recently in the middle of a game, the App will glitch and close out and when I go back into the game I have lost the life. This keeps happening on multiple occasions. I have contacted support multiple times and they keep doing nothing. I’m about to uninstall the game and quit for good.

### 1/5 — PLEASE add a method for resetting the game and starting over!

*2023-10-30*

Update: the app hasn’t been updated in over two years and now crashes in the middle or at the end of every single turn. It’s now unplayable. Such a shame because it was a good game. 

I have been playing this game daily since I think 2016? It’s my favorite game. Unfortunately, i have gotten so far along in levels that it’s so hard and not any fun anymore. I have tried everything I can find online for how to completely reset a game app and somehow this app always knows that I’m on level 1659. I just want to start over or else I will have to find a different game!

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2023-10-18, version 1.6.4*

This game crashes in the middle of a game, blanks out, but it will still take your money to buy gems. Hasn’t been updated in over two years.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2023-10-09, version 1.6.4*

While playing the game, it will suddenly pop out 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-09-30, version 1.6.4*

App keeps crashing

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Definitely recommend

*2026-06-14*

A great little game, visually great quality with cute animations and pretty colors plus lots and lots of levels. Unfortunately right now all of the sudden it won’t let you play cupcake or candy mania without Wi-Fi which is a bummer. I occasionally like to play in the car while finishing lunch or waiting for a friend but I can’t do that now without eating up lots of data.

### 5/5 — The best game

*2026-04-14, version 1.6.5*

I like this game so much. !

### 5/5 — Love/hate

*2026-02-27, version 1.6.5*

Been playing for 12yrs. This morning it continues to say “Connect to internet”. I am connected but the game will not load. I refuse to uninstall/reinstall bcuz it’ll be a nightmare to restore my gameplay. (Speaking from experience). I’m upset. That is all.🥴🤬

### 5/5 — Cupcake Mania

*2026-01-06, version 1.6.5*

My 10 minutes of fun. Hopefully every day.

### 5/5 — Sue

*2025-11-24, version 1.6.5*

I have been playing this game for a few years and still love it

### 5/5 — Exciting

*2025-11-15, version 1.6.5*

Enjoying beating the bear. Love the music.

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2025-11-12, version 1.6.5*

Some levels are challenging. Especially the ones where you get less than 20 plays. It’s what makes it fun and rewarding to play. Just keep trying till you accomplish getting it.

### 5/5 — Old school fun

*2025-08-26, version 1.6.4*

Great game. Nothing fancy. It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be.

### 5/5 — Keeps shutting down

*2024-10-01, version 1.6.4*

I really love this game, but just recently there seems to be so many ads on there and when playing it just shuts down, when I reopen it I have lost the game I am in and it goes to the next one. I am up to game 1162 but I am thinking of deleting it as it is getting frustrating . I can only give it 2 stars due to these problems.

### 5/5 — Update?

*2024-07-21, version 1.6.4*

I’ve been playing this game for years and love it. But I just got a newer iPad and now the game keeps shutting down on me. I noticed the last update was three years ago. Any chance it could be updated so I can keep playing even on my newer device? Thanks.
