### 5/5 — Smash!

*2015-03-01, version 4.0*

I had more fun breaking bubbles than my friend Oscar has breaking his lady's phone and sunglasses. A smash hit.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2015-03-01, version 4.0*

Save a high score for dad now...

### 5/5 — ToMo strikes again

*2015-03-01, version 4.0*

If you thought kissing your sister was fun, just wait until you play this game. There is enough thinking involved that you will have to pull your Tesla over and tell that guy from Fiji Water who was stabbed a bunch, "you drive, I need to play more!" It is also better for your brain than fluoride. To sum it up, it's amaaaaazing!!! Boom bam!!!

### 5/5 — More fun than anything

*2015-03-01, version 4.0*

Playing this game is the most enjoyable thing you can do. It is better than spending the day with a water baron and someone with 3 gun shot wounds.  

Another great game by Tomo.

### 5/5 — Thanks a lot ToMo

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

Just downloaded Glow Burst Free and after several rounds of game action, I fell like a boob. My son schooled me. Guess I need to go back and take sixth grade math again.

### 5/5 — Relationship ToMo

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

I have to commend relationship Tomo, most men get hitched and all creativity is flushed down the toilet, independent thought is squashed, and freedom of expression is enslaved. ToMo this game is truly a five star entertaining and educational experience!!!! Why get a 100k MBA when you can learn all the mathematics you need by playing Glow Burst. Every time I pop a bubble, I imagine one of Mikes colon diverticula popping.

### 5/5 — Hi. This is a random listener.

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

This app is more fun than driving my Tesla while flipping through pictures of selfies with Robert Redford simultaneously listening to the wind chimes on White Noise. Get the game it is awesome! 

That's Robb with two b's!
I've been drinking a lot tonight...

### 5/5 — Thank you Glowburst!

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

### 5/5 — Glow Burst Free Worked For Me

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

I used to be dumb. How dumb? Well, I once high-fived a cactus. Now after a short time playing Glow Burst I'm so smart I've gone back to college to get my MBA. Thanks TMSoft. Great game, lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Glow burst cured my hemorrhoids!!!

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

I was looking for something to kill the time during my painful process of elimination and Glowburst was the cure.  The colorful graphics, catchy tune, and swipe interaction hand me bopping around on the bowl.  Before long the cranial exercises of the game focused my sphincter muscles back into shape and I was as they say "sitting pretty".  The game is such a pleasure that I find myself playing it when ever I can, on my long beltway commutes, during a spin class and even while soaking in the tub.   Give Glowburst a try, it will change your life!!!

### 5/5 — I Love The White and Gold Logo

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

In between graduate class study sessions with my middle-aged, not very attractive classmates, I enjoy this fun, fast-paced gaming aplicacion. It is also a favorite game for my little sobrino, who uses it to learn his numbers, and unlike me is not a lonely latch-key child, with only the American public television to keep him company. Cinco Estrellas.

### 5/5 — BOOM-BAM!

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

Glow Burst from TM Soft rocks.  The graphics and sounds call to me, enticing me to get out of bed at 4:30 in the morning to play.  I am on the verge of losing my job as a drug development scientist because instead of solving pressing unmet health problems, I am tapping and swiping, BOOM!  Even though this app will likely cause us to fall further behind the rest of the globe, I recommend it highly.  Six stars out of five.

### 5/5 — This app + Distilled Water will extend your life

*2015-02-28, version 4.0*

I'm no scientist, but my research indicates that those who play this game and drink 3-4 glasses of distilled water each day may very well result in a handful more days of their lives that can be spent driving Teslas and partying with Fiji water barons in Vegas. 
Bottom line ... This app is pretty, pretty, pretty good. I mean Robb fruitcake good, ToMo fighting with officer Meg good - Good! Download and enjoy - Right Now! #TMSOFT #Tech411 #TMOS

### 5/5 — Just had a glowburst in my pants!

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

Love this game so much, I'd stab a fool for it! Las Vegas style!

### 5/5 — This game changed my life

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

2 days ago my wife left me, I lost my job, my car was stolen, and I was mugged and left for dead in the street like a dog. I've been spending the nights on the couch of my ex-wife's step father who is constantly having loud orgies with street vagrants that keep me awake all hours of the night. I heard about this app on TMOS, and decided to download it to a phone that I asked to borrow from one of the step dad's regulars. When the he/she comes over I put some headphones on and can be completely engrossed in the game and taken away to a magical world of numbers and fireworks. When I started I wasn't much of a numbers man and couldn't count too good, but on easy I was able to learn how to count. I recently was able to get a job at a bank and now I'm completely surrounded by hot babes 24-3! I can't afford hot babes 7 days a week. I just want to thank Glow Burst and TMOS for changing my life.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

I love it. My three-year-old son loves it. I just haven't scored high enough to shop in the jerk store yet.

### 5/5 — So good I wet my pants

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

Twice

### 5/5 — Fun-tastic!

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

You like countin'? You good at countin'? You good at numbers and math and that stuff? You also like poppin' balloons? Or maybe bubble wrap? What if the bubble wrap balloons glowed in the dark and gave you a great satisfyin' POP sound when you popped 'em, and also let you show off your countin' and math skills? That's GLOW BURST! You should really check it out, and by check it out I mean download it and play it a whole bunch a times.

### 5/5 — This app teaches you how to count

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

TOMO hit it out of the park with this addictive game. It has taught me how to count (before I had problems with negative numbers) and I have an accounting degree.

### 5/5 — Explosive fun for all ages!

*2015-02-27, version 4.0*

This game is great...great...just great! The  effects remind me of the sounds from an irritable bowl!

*2012-11-21, version 3.2.2*

App opens to first screen and then shuts down.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2012-08-05, version 3.2.2*

It's ok but a bit educational and boring!

### 2/5 — Glow puzzle

*2010-11-26, version 0*

Not really good for people who are bored and it's not really fun but I like the writing for the names it's really cool many thanks x

### 3/5 — I LOVE and HATE this game

*2012-08-05*

I love and hate this game because I've been playing this game for a few months but when I last updated it , the app won't work. Whenever I tap on the app, the background would come up, but them the app would just shut down. Can anyone help me

### 4/5 — Jo Edwards

*2013-03-02, version 3.2.2*

I am always pleased when I see my five year old is playing this. I think it is helping him get a solid base for maths.

### 4/5 — Addictive game

*2012-07-05, version 3.2.1*

Keeps me on my toes practicing my reaction speed.  A very fun ap.

### 4/5 — Glow burst review

*2012-04-01, version 3.2.1*

It's a great game for kids but there is no pause button so if you run out of time you have to play all over again.

### 4/5 — pretty fun

*2012-03-16, version 3.2*

It's fun, but it doesn't have a lot of replay value.

### 4/5 — Good but needs option to turn off negative numbers

*2011-10-16*

Great app but needs the option to turn off negative numbers for use with younger kids

### 4/5 — Music

*2011-06-23, version 3.2*

There isn't a way to turn the music off. It's annoying. Other than that, great game.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I love everything about it

*2024-05-05, version 4.6.5*

I love the beat of the music and like the fact that,as you start to get anxious, the music gets more intense making you even more anxious.

### 5/5 — Well designed

*2016-05-31*

Thought it is mostly for kids, but random size of circles can confuse anyone

### 5/5 — Bursting Glory!

*2016-02-15*

I really love the firework-like explosions the circles make in this. It looks insanely beautiful on my iPad!

### 5/5 — Original and fun!

*2015-12-13, version 4.0*

This app is very original and not just a copy of another app. The gameplay is very fun and easy to learn. Great fun for all ages!

### 5/5 — Tolle Effekte

*2015-04-11*

Interessantes Spielkonzept, intuitiv und herausfordernd. Sound und grafische Effekte sind ebenfalls schoen gestalteter.

### 5/5 — As addictive as lip smacking to Drab

*2015-03-08, version 4.0*

I'm here, I'm q****, I'm not going skiing all because of this game. It is highly addictive and tests your brain as well as your reactions. It's like getting your MBA on weekends and avoiding the shallows while boating but at twice the speed.

### 5/5 — TMOS love it!

*2015-03-08, version 4.0*

It's Aaaammmaaazzzing!!!

### 5/5 — TOMO + Big O = Sexy Eyes

*2015-03-02, version 4.0*

Another great product by TMSOFT. Keep bringing the fun.

### 5/5 — Infuriating, goddammit.

*2015-03-02, version 4.0*

I'm giving this game 5 stars, not because I like it, but because it's infuriating. I don't know if you enjoy being irritated at your own idiocy, like I do, but I seem to be something of a masochist. Yes, I know -8 is less than 11. I'm not stupid, Todd! You jerk. I find myself playing this game gripping my phone with white knuckles, the world around me fading into silence as I concentrate with all my might, my child calling my name, my husband asking me something. I don't hear them. I'm gone. I went to college! Why am I failing at this?!?! 
I could blame my gender. Math is hard...for girls... But if I can calculate how many units/hour/kilogram to run on a heparin drip for my 78.5 kg pulmonary embolism patient, why can't I do this? This stupid, addictive, infuriatingly simple game? I'm SMART!!

### 5/5 — Better than Robb's fruitcake!

*2015-03-01, version 4.0*

Great game, and as far as Robb's fruitcake I honestly wouldn't know, despite even asking Carla to help me out I never got one, anyway I'm sure they are good but this game is great. Keep up the great work Todd, many thanks from Drunk Brian in Oregon!
