### 2/5 — Where are my teammates

*2026-06-14, version 1.103.0.0*

I had a plenty of teammates now I show only 3 which is weird..been like this for about a week

### 3/5 — Annoying bug

*2026-01-11, version 1.97.0.0*

The game is fun, but there is an annoying bug where the screen that shows you the lives you have received from friends is blank. There’s a button to accept all, but there is nothing there and the button doesn’t function. It’s just a purple screen. 

It worked fine for the first few days I played the game, and then something changed one day and it’s now broken. 

Given that King only updates this game once a month at best I’m not holding out hope for a fix anytime soon. 

I usually spend around $20/mo on boosters in my favorite games (including other King games), but I’ll wait to spend any money on this game until it’s fixed.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-01, version 1.97.0.0*

Really disappointed in this game.  Pitting players against each other just for gold bars? Which BTW the game is very stingy with. I don’t play for anything other than my own enjoyment, so games like this become a hard no.  Bring back earning gold bars by completing the diamond necklace.

### 4/5 — Diamond Diaries

*2025-11-30, version 1.97.0.0*

Thank you for fixing it and putting it back to the way it was it’s back to being the best game ever it’s my favorite

### 2/5 — Gets impossible to beat

*2025-10-18, version 1.95.0.0*

I LOVED this game at first. Then it started getting really hard   I’ve been stuck on levels for over 2 weeks. Deleting the game. It’s ridiculous that people can’t win sometimes at this game

### 4/5 — Lost Diamond Necklaces!

*2025-10-06, version 1.95.0.0*

Love that the graphics and the play is not based on a grid! But really disappointed that you can’t collect diamonds to create necklaces for bonus points! Very special feature has been lost! I agree, bad move Saga.

### 2/5 — My favourite game - but no longer working!

*2025-09-18, version 1.94.0.0*

I love this game but since the update last week it won't collect the diamonds you've earned, so can't collect gold bars either, which is necessary to get through the levels.  Very disappointing that King have been aware of this for some time and don't seem to be doing anything about it.

To add insult to injury, my bonus game is collect 10 diamonds, before your rival, if only I could!

I wouldn't bother with any King games at the moment, it's a waste of time.

### 2/5 — Cadê as joias?

*2025-08-21*

Pararam de coletar diamantes para fazer joias e recompensas…vou desistir

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2025-08-14, version 1.92.1.0*

You no longer fill a diamond necklace to earn gold bars. Why not???  I will not pay money for games; they’re supposed to be a mindless way to pass time.  Instead they do nothing but frustrate you. No incentive to keep playing.

### 3/5 — Why is putting the diamond counter back taking so long?

*2025-08-01*

I used to like the game so much. But it’s been a month since we’ve had the diamond counter, and that was the main way to be able to earn some extra gold bars. Now it’s gotten frustrating as sometimes the only way to advance is to pay. If you’re not going to put the diamond counter back, how about offering a way for us to watch videos and earn something like other games do. But the nice thing about the diamond counter was also that even if you didn’t pass the level, you got to accomplish something and earn towards gold bars. And also, when participating in the color key chest challenges, you had more of a chance of moving on to a level that had that color. My fellow challengers must be wondering why I’m not doing my part with my color for the key! But I’ve spent the limit that I want to pay for the day! 
You say on your king community website, that you are looking into it. But what is the technical issue that is holding you back? I’ve worked with techs before at my old job, and I just don’t understand the delay!

### 2/5 — Collecting diamonds

*2025-07-27, version 1.92.1.0*

You can no longer collect diamonds to help earn extra moves, no longer fun to play

### 3/5 — Schade

*2025-07-23*

Ich spiele dieses Spiel mittlerweile schon einige Jahre, es hat mir immer Spaß gemacht und wurde nie langweilig. Neuerdings jedoch kann man keine Diamanten mehr sammeln, um eine Belohnung in Form von Goldbarren zu bekommen. Gleichzeitig sind die einzelnen Level um einiges schwieriger geworden. Man bekommt den Eindruck, dass der Spieler gezwungen werden soll, Geld auszugeben, um weiter zu kommen. Sehr schade 😞

### 4/5 — Fun game but has a problem

*2025-07-23, version 1.92.1.0*

I enjoy this game but it currently has a glitch in it. I can be mid game or just opened it and it freezes. So I either have to sacrifice a life or abandon a game and if I’m about to complete a level it makes me cranky.

### 2/5 — 集めたダイヤモンドが表示され無い

*2025-07-21*

今まで集めていたダイアモンドの数が表示され無いだけではなくゲームをクリアして獲得したダイヤモンドも表示されない
何度ログアウトして再ログインしても同じ状態
このゲームは時々不思議な現象が起きる
ゲームを進める楽しさが無くなる

### 1/5 — ジュエリーを

*2025-07-21*

作ってゴールドをもらえる機能がいつの間にか無くなってました。
あれを励みにステージクリアしてたのに…
もうアンストします。

### 1/5 — Once a good game, now…

*2025-07-20, version 1.92.1.0*

So you’ve removed the ability to get gold by collecting diamonds? 
👎🏽👎🏽

### 3/5 — Recent update

*2025-07-20, version 1.92.1.0*

It’s not as nice a game now with changes from this most recent update.  After years of using app you can no longer earn points by working on puzzles and collecting diamonds.  Now it’s only you can level up by solving entire puzzle    I won’t be using points already earned to complete a puzzle especially when there’s no longer a way to earn Diamond points.    Bad move Saga!!!

### 1/5 — Used to love it

*2025-07-19, version 1.92.1.0*

I used to love this game, but it’s changed. You used to be able to earn coins by collecting diamonds, but now that is gone. I can only guess it was removed in an attempt to force players into buying coins to get past impossible levels. No thanks. I’m deleting all of your games now.

### 1/5 — Snico

*2026-01-11, version 1.97.0.0*

I hate this games & its sucks

### 1/5 — Diamonds no longer available

*2025-11-17, version 1.96.1.1*

I enjoyed playing the game and earning diamonds along the way. With the new update; the diamonds are no longer available. The only way you can get diamonds is to PAY for it or complete a city challenge and be in the top 3.

### 1/5 — Stole My Gold Bars

*2025-11-07, version 1.96.1.1*

Had to wait a few days for the developers to create some new levels (currently at 5680). Had accumulated 12 extra lives from friends. I was saving them for extra difficult levels. When I checked to see if there were any new levels (there were) all my extra lives were GONE!!! What’s the point of asking friends for extra lives if you’re not allowed to use them when you want to?!

### 1/5 — No more earning diamonds

*2025-09-13, version 1.94.0.0*

I no longer can earn diamonds, but you put me in a challenge that was dependent upon earning diamonds. No a good move.

### 1/5 — Why is putting the diamond counter back taking so long?

*2025-08-21, version 1.92.1.0*

Gotten boring without the diamond counter! And not much way to earn gold bars. At least put some videos so we can earn something. Seems they are not going to put the diamond counter back! Stingy!

### 1/5 — Change is not always good

*2025-08-15, version 1.92.1.0*

Agree with previous review. This is highly disappointing. People kept playing because you could earn points. Now what’s the point? Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Changes

*2025-08-06, version 1.92.1.0*

What happened to collecting gems to finish a jewelry piece?  Now I can’t do a second complaint?  I’m in a contest to collect diamonds and none are being counted!

### 1/5 — Privacy

*2025-07-25, version 1.92.1.0*

When Apps etc being breached I object to giving private data to a gaming app before I can play ie my date of birth

### 1/5 — Coins no longer available

*2025-07-25, version 1.92.1.0*

I enjoyed playing the game and earning coins along the way. With the new update; the coins are no longer available. The only way you can get coins is to PAY for it or complete a city challenge and be in the top 3.

### 1/5 — No rewards

*2025-07-24, version 1.92.1.0*

Where has the rewards gone, it was a good game, but no rewards to be able to carry on with a difficult level.

### 5/5 — There are no more levels after 4670

*2024-08-14*

I see the levels are not updated after 4670.
Will the levels be added .

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2024-07-25, version 1.80.1.0*

Diamond Diaries is a great game. All the levels are possible to complete it’s just that they may be difficult. I never pay for money on video games and I never find that any of the levels are impossible (although sometimes it may take quite a few goes)! I love how you can compete against other players with challenges and trying to race against them to complete the levels. I’ve never felt bored of it because all the levels are new and exciting. The graphics are also great as well!

### 5/5 — Perfect game

*2024-06-08, version 1.78.0.1*

This is the only game I play that doesn’t have ads,I really appreciate that this. Is”The Best Game Ever”

### 5/5 — Change the help!!

*2024-04-13, version 1.76.1.0*

Please give more help and fix when there is one diamond left and you have a bird it needs to go to the last one and help you win not no where’s else!!

### 5/5 — 4446

*2024-04-09*

4446から先のステージ(レベルは忘れた)をプレイしていると急にアプリが落ちて再起動すると4445に戻ってしまいました。元いたステージは雲がかかっていて進めなくなってしまいました。毎週火曜日の新ステージを待ってる時みたいな😭

### 5/5 — New update

*2024-03-30, version 1.76.1.0*

I love this game but since the update 2 days ago it keeps glitching, sends me back to Home Screen. I want to play!  But it’s not working!
