Please offer an and free version. Will pay! ### 3/5 — Crash *2016-12-01, version 3.7* Love it but it crashes. I would even update to the paid version but reviews there indicate a crash issue as well. Fix the tendency to crash and you'd have a nice time waster ### 2/5 — Fantastic *2015-05-21, version 3.7* Not your regular gem swap.....next level. ### 3/5 — Addicting game *2015-05-07, version 3.7* It's been my favourite go to game for weeks, then all of a sudden it starts crashing every game! What's going on?! It hasn't had an update for a year and I'm thinking the designers are no longer maintaining the app. Disappointing😠 ### 3/5 — Doodle jewels HD Lite *2015-02-06, version 3.7* Love the game but hate all the advertisements. You need to remove three fourths of the advertising. ### 4/5 — What's not to like *2015-01-22, version 3.7* Really fun and good graphics ### 4/5 — Doodle jewels - great time waster, very addictive *2014-06-05, version 3.7* When it works, I keep going back. Not really much less buggy on the newer iPads, though. The ads seem to cause many of the crashes. Especially hate crashes that restart at the beginning. ### 4/5 — Fix the bugs *2014-05-28, version 3.7* Fun and addictive, but can't you get rid of the bugs? Crashes often, especially when I have a lot of swaps. ### 4/5 — Jewels *2014-05-01, version 3.5* Quite a nice and fun game, great way to pass the time :) ### 2/5 — Prettyjeanettesan *2013-08-05, version 3.3* I like this games it's so Kool and fun to play and love to hear the music on the games sound so relaxing like this game ;) ### 4/5 — Like the game, but locks up occasionally. *2013-08-04, version 3.3* I like the game as it is very addicting. I just wish it did not lockup so much. ### 4/5 — Very fun to play *2013-06-05, version 3.3* Love this game! ### 4/5 — Doodle Jewels *2013-05-21, version 3.3* Very fun to play! Addicting game, once you start, it's hard to stop playing!! ### 2/5 — What? *2013-04-13, version 3.3* I haven't a clue what the point is - or the scoring- but it is still amusing and a mindless stress less way to relax. I prefer Be Jeweled as you could keep a running continuous game but it disappeared . ### 3/5 — Some problems *2013-03-29, version 3.3* The game is good but on multiple occasions, it just shuts down! It does not resume where you left off. Very annoying. This happens about 15% of the time. Way too much! ### 4/5 — Doodle jewel *2013-03-17, version 3.3* Very enjoyable ...addictive...love this game! ### 2/5 — Lost all previous high scores! *2013-03-01, version 3.2* Still crashes a lot... Ads also interfere with play. ### 3/5 — Crash *2013-02-19, version 3.2* It keep crashing and going to ads! I love the game but I reloaded it and it still has the problems. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Goodbye *2026-01-25* Game is known as advertising I use to love this game play it when I felt like it kind of like that special item that you always counted on well I was in shock to play one turn and boom an add came up and after every move you do another add wish you had just left it alone for it use to be a fun game but now I am saying bye for I’ll be removing you from my device ### 1/5 — Lost App *2026-01-07, version 4.1* I previously purchased this App and when I bought my new iPadOS 18.6.2 I lost the App and cannot retrieve it. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — cannot restore ad-free bought version *2025-03-15, version 4.1* music stopped working so i deleted the app & went to the app store & it’s no longer available. thieves ### 1/5 — used to be great *2021-06-15, version 4.1* was a great game when you could buy the version that has no ads. now it won’t work. this version has video ads popping up all the time. the banner ads are ok, but the video ads are seriously irritating. bring back the purchasable ad-free version ### 1/5 — Version 4.0 crashes consistently in iOS 10.3.3 *2017-08-23* Doodle Jewels is my favorite slide jewels game. I have spent many hours enjoying it. Unfortunately version 4.0 crashes consistently at level 1 or 2 in iOS 10.3.3 ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2014-02-11, version 3.5* Can't play a game that crashes every 5 minutes and takes you to a random place in the game when you re-open. Also, points are worthless - no need to have them in treasure chest. ### 1/5 — Doodle Jewels *2012-02-14, version 3.0* Have LOVED this game, but now ads keep popping up and then I have to start all over again. This is too frustrating, so I am giving up my beloved Jewels until this problem is fixed. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2012-01-30, version 3.0* You have too many bugs. I get frustrated & quit the game. It COULD be great game & I MIGHT consider buying it, but you can't even get the sales demo to work right. Why would I consider paying for a broken product? ### 1/5 — Exhausted *2012-01-09, version 2.5* After an exhausting three days of playing the same game and scoring 41,000,000+ points and 4,800+ swaps, I have decided to remove this app. Prior to the latest update the game required thinking about your moves and was highly addictive. However, it is now just mindless screen tapping. GO BACK TO PRIOR GAME? ### 1/5 — Fix... *2011-12-13, version 1.4* I just updated the app and now it won't open. As soon as I tap on the app, it closes up immediately. Fix it, and I'll give it a 5 star rating. It was working just fine before the "update" ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Revood *2016-04-12, version 3.7* I play doolde gmae el lot. It ist unblevabel ### 5/5 — Good times *2015-06-11, version 3.7* Fun fun fun ### 5/5 — Love fit *2014-06-21, version 3.7* Great time killer game, I like the fact that you can shut it off and when u come back later u pick up where left off. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2013-08-19, version 3.3* Just the type of game I like to relax with..however it keeps crashing, please fix!! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2013-08-05, version 3.3* Neat twist on an old game. Entertaining for hours. ### 5/5 — Fun App *2013-03-21, version 3.3* This is lots of fun! Can spend hours playing. ### 5/5 — Fast paced and hard to stop playing *2013-01-23* This is a fun, fast paced game which relies on your instinctive reactions, because you won't have a chance to do over. Despite its addictive nature, I prefer it to the casino games and the bingo types because there is no learning or skill level to them and this game does sharpen my reaction times. Give it a try. Hope you like it. ### 5/5 — jewels *2013-01-21, version 3.2* this game is very relaxing.Thank you for gentle music . ### 5/5 — Doodle Jewels *2012-12-31, version 3.2* Ditto the random crashes. FIX THEM! But am addicted. And what's with the ads every 2-3 levels? ### 5/5 — Please make it free *2012-12-18, version 3.2* Please make it free --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
