### 3/5 — Alright game, but heads up to the devs

*2026-05-14, version 1.1.52*

Some of your rabbit characters look a lot like bugs bunny and with “looney” on your transition screen that’s pretty dang close if not right on the border of copyright infringement. Bugs bunny is not yet public domain.

### 3/5 — Payed for no ads

*2026-05-10, version 1.1.51*

Of course they make it hard after paying for no ads so you need to pay to win,greedy like them all

### 4/5 — Hole Express app game

*2026-03-11, version 1.1.49*

fun game to play on my iphone 📱 but there’s ads. So i rated this four stars ⭐️

### 3/5 — Good but …

*2026-03-07, version 1.1.49*

This is a good game, but I can’t play it.  I’m  sorry but I’m not playing anything with snakes.

### 4/5 — Fun But Too Challenging

*2026-01-22*

Of all the “black hole” games I tried this is by far the best. Enough variety and side challenges to keep it interesting and extras are plentiful to come by without shelling out money. My only complaint is that one of the extras (a super suction feature) is weakened once you reach a certain point. I am currently on Level 1509 and have developed a strategy for clearing items that is now useless because I can no longer plan for the super suction mode to actually pull items into the hole. Please fix this as the game is not as enjoyable.

### 3/5 — Great game but app keeps freezing mid game

*2025-11-24, version 1.0.73*

So frustrating that I finally found a great game to play and now mid game the app freezes and you lose all your valuable items. I’m so annoyed I could scream

### 3/5 — Not receiving unlimited time amounts

*2025-11-14, version 1.0.65*

I’m a relatively new player for HoleExpress, playing only a couple of weeks. I enjoy the game, the special events & rewards during play. I would give a 5 star review & recommend it. One request, please don’t take so long to refill lives. You’d get player loyalty more because they wouldn’t have to play other games while the time restores here.
However, the biggest problem the last few days is a HUGE issue. While beginning to play all the rewards from playing team & individual results through events, like racing to see who can complete levels faster, was giving unlimited life playing for 15mins, 30mins, 1 hour, I noticed my time should  have been 2 hours & 30mins. I only received 1 hour and 30mins. That happened this past weekend. Today, I should have received 1hour &30mins, only received 30mins. I hadn’t had the problem before now. Please fix this problem so I can play this game that I’ve liked until this huge problem.
Thank you from this game fan!!

### 5/5 — Updated review! Five stars for sure!

*2025-11-14*

Updated Review: 

The game is now offering the option to watch ads for rewards. This is now my favorite app of this sort and I will be deleting the other apps. The graphics are smooth. The optional starting rewards are great. The time is perfect. The icons are easy to distinguish. Definitely the best of the best right here!


Old review: This is the second game of this type that I have really enjoyed but it doesn’t offer the option to watch ads for a reward. Most all of the other games of this type offer to watch an ad if you eat a bomb. As with the other game that didn’t offer that I’ll be deleting this one also. It’s a shame because it’s quite a bit better than it competing apps.  I hope you’ll considering changing that.

**Developer response:** Hello, 『Hole Express』. 
Thank you for your feedback.
We will consider adding optional ads for rewards in the future.
We’ll continue working to provide better service. 
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.65*

Very addictive really nice smooth gameplay graphics very cute ,

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.65*

Fun game BUT the beginning of game TIME is alot with little to swallow….the higher the level less time and alot more to swallow

### 2/5 — Good……BUT

*2025-11-08, version 1.0.65*

My daughter has autism and special needs and she loves this game! BUT when the bombs are put in she isn’t quick enough to get away from them which causes her to have a meltdown. I am not able to buy her coins anymore which is causing me a lot of stress. 
Why do you game makers have to make things so hard for any kids that obviously can’t manage the hard levels. 
I WANT YOU TO MAKE ONE WITH NO BOMBS FOR CHILDREN! 
Surely that is possible? As for now I am trying to find a game suitable for her but none of you creators seem to have any interest in kids playing your game as it gets too hard. My daughter loves this game because she loves rabbits and gets upset now she can’t play any more. 
SHAME ON YOU!

### 5/5 — 토끼굴이다!

*2025-10-31*

킬링타임용이지만 집중도 필요함ㅋㅋ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 『홀 익스프레스』입니다. 감사합니다! 🎉
게임을 재미있게 즐겨주셔서 정말 기쁩니다. 더 큰 즐거움을 드릴 수 있도록 계속 노력하겠습니다.

### 5/5 — Fun game, but…

*2025-10-30, version 1.0.63*

The graphics are great. Movement is smooth. But PLEASE make a bomb-free version. No way I can relax with bombs on the board.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay money to stop ads

*2026-05-27, version 1.1.52*

I paid to get rid of ads but they don’t let you win without paying 
Two games have burned me that way. Plus ads are 2to 3 minutes
Way to many bombs

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-03-08, version 1.1.49*

If you like playing a game to watch ads this is the one.

### 1/5 — Freezes my phone

*2026-01-15, version 1.0.92*

I downloaded this game today. It froze my phone up the first time I played it. When I finally got it unfroze I tried playing again but it once again made my phone freeze and completely shut off. When I got my phone off I deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Great game but…

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-07-28, version 1.0.12*

After level 36;;;ADS🤬!!!
Should’ve known🙄

### 1/5 — Must spend money to win levels

*2025-06-14, version 1.0.11*

No adds but impossible to finish levels (once you get into the 40’s) without spending money to buy boosters. I was hoping to have finally found a game I could enjoy without a ton of adds but this isn’t it. Stop the greed and make games fun and reasonable.

### 1/5 — It’s fun….but

*2025-06-10, version 1.0.11*

This game is fun and enjoyable. Because I enjoyed it so much I purchased a large coin package.

So imagine my surprise to learn that the game only has 99 levels. After that, all I is gather coins.

I sincerely hope that I haven’t wasted my money and that a large number of new levels are on the way. 

Until new levels are added, I don’t recommend this game.

### 2/5 — Time

*2026-02-08, version 1.1.20*

Not a fun game. They have a time limit for how long you can play a game. You only get to watch one ad, then you have to start over. Why does it matter how long a person takes to find everything?  That hoke moves so fast you miss things.

### 2/5 — What is going on

*2025-12-13, version 1.0.83*

I love this game but it keeps freezing mid game and I can’t even turn off my phone. When it finally closes I lose all my extras and it’s getting very frustrating

### 2/5 — Okay

*2025-11-22, version 1.0.72*

It’s telling me there an update but there isn’t and now I can’t get on to the game because of this please fix this

### 5/5 — Level 3000

*2026-07-23, version 1.1.53*

I play this game a lot, it helps me to relax. I have also spent a lot of money playing and now I can’t get past Level 3000!  Wey frustrating because I’m getting bored. Lol

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-07-09, version 1.1.53*

So fun you guys need this

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2026-07-05, version 1.1.53*

Love this game so far. No issues yet and I hope it doesn’t develop any

### 5/5 — Too many bombs

*2026-03-28, version 1.1.49*

That last level I played was too much. They’re were too many bombs on that level.

### 5/5 — Vraiment addictif 😉🤣😜

*2026-03-10, version 1.1.49*

5 étoiles

### 5/5 — Extremely fun

*2026-02-06, version 1.1.12*

Download it

### 5/5 — Hole express

*2026-01-28, version 1.1.00*

Fun addition to playing passes time by sometimes I forget how long I’ve played this game

### 5/5 — Where are the new levels?

*2026-01-13, version 1.0.92*

A,lot of us playing the game have reached 2001 and there are no new levels after that. Will there be more and how soon?  Love the game.

### 5/5 — Updated review! Five stars for sure!

*2025-12-24, version 1.0.92*

Updates review: still a 5 star rating but please fix the bug that freezes the game when a stack gets eaten at once. It forces the app closed and when reopened, it is a loss and we have to start over collecting rewards.
