Gonna try the game but think it's on the dishonest side only to post the reviews you want people to read ### 4/5 — Great fun *2014-07-04* Race against the clock to complete the level & gain access to the next. ### 3/5 — NOT HAPPY :( *2014-01-12* With your new update it made things worse! Every time I try to get into it it freezes than goes back to the home screen I am really not happy! Next update fix it please! Other than that the game is brilliant definitely recommend it. :) ### 3/5 — Review *2013-10-13, version 3.5* I love this game so so much!!! I love the different variety but only one thing is wrong the sound is not working cuz each has its own song but it's not working right please fix ASAP thanx ### 4/5 — Jewel Adventures *2013-09-10, version 3.4* Nice app to play when u don't want to play anything else or if you're stuck on another game & u need to take a RELAXING break. I like the newest game u added but the music isn't all that great. Thanks!! ### 4/5 — Adventure Fun *2013-09-02, version 3.3* Wish there was a way to pick what one to play. If you don't want to pay should be a way you could pick one weekly. Still like to play ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-08-24, version 3.3* This is a fun match 3 game except I can't go on to the next level without going back to the home page and choosing the game again --- then it takes me to the next level. Weird glitch but except for that, it's a good game. ### 4/5 — Jewel adventures *2013-08-09, version 3.3* Jewel adventures is a very game, I would give it 5 stars but... Every time you close the app you have to start all over again. Other wise a very fun game!! 😁😀😃 ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-07-21* Good challenge! Can't wait to unlock other levels! ### 4/5 — Fun! Fun! Fun! *2013-04-27* Great video & graphics! ### 5/5 — Susieque *2013-04-25* Nice little game to pass away the time. ### 5/5 — A-ma-zing *2013-04-18* Amazung my friend has been going on and on bout this game and I have finally found it yaaaaaaaaaaaay ### 5/5 — Jewel adventures *2013-04-01, version 2.9* This game is awesome. I have enjoyed this game app. I will recommend this app to all of my friends on Facebook. To anyone who loves a matching game this is the game app for you. ### 5/5 — Gem *2013-03-31* Good game like options. ### 5/5 — Getting past the levels to unlock the next one with out paying *2013-03-29, version 2.9* To unlock new levels just based on your score is very difficult. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ok but NOT ok *2022-03-01* I like the game.. but it gives you absolutely no guidelines or game rules. It doesn’t tell you how to earn the power ups. The chess board in the bottom left corner needs to go! And the pieces need to be more clear.. ### 1/5 — Jewel adventures needs improvement *2013-02-17, version 2.7* This game stinks. After paying $9.99, you still can't go any father than the first level of each style of games. This only allows one level and to advance you need to purchase more to advance in levels. $9.99 is way to much to pay for the limits of this game. I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Can't restore purchased themes!!!!! *2012-11-11, version 2.2* I purchased 4 themes (spaceships, candy, spring flowers, & one other) & with the last upgrade, I found that they bundled these with others that I did not want nor did I pay for. But now because they are bundled together, It will not allow me to restore the games that I purchased! I tried emailing the developer from the contact button in the app store & the website would not accept emails! RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!! I want my money back since I can't play the games I paid for anymore!!!!! ### 1/5 — Jewels *2012-02-11* Rubbish if you dnt want to pay for things but over all a good game if you want to play more gooood games go on to bubble shooter in the app store and youwill be amazed ### 1/5 — What happened? *2011-10-21* I did like the game till it wouldn't load. I reinstalled it and now each time I try coming back to the game my points are at 0 even if I'm on a higher level. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Jewel adventures *2011-09-12* Thanks for ruining all the games on this subject I will not buy any more or play them again stuff your updates I rate these games zero ### 2/5 — I don't like this new version, looks more like candy crush, the other look was unique. I may delete. *2013-09-15, version 3.4* Wish I never downloaded the new version, it was unique. This one looks like candy crush and all the rest. ### 2/5 — Jewel *2013-03-09* Pretty easy and don't think it warrants paying for each section. It should be one cost for the whole lot. ### 2/5 — Not that great.. *2013-01-10, version 2.5* It's a good game, however; it would be better if you could unlock other backgrounds by winning or playing a certain amount of times instead of having to pay for them...it's not worth it to pay to unlock, therefore this game gets boring after a while.. ### 2/5 — Good but with issues *2012-07-27, version 2.0* This is a great game except for that I could only buy the newest islands and unlock them, while trying to purchase the other islands they would not download after about 10 times retrying. Please fix these either than that I would highly recommend this to anyone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jewel adventure *2015-02-05* Thank u team, for creating the best match 3 game :-) it's stunningly beautiful, easy to play, nice and relaxing :-) no stress, and highly addictive :-) with loads and loads of levels too keep u entertained for ages and ages :-) I love the fact, that there is something different on each level of the game :-) big high 5 from me :-) please do more of theses wonderful match 3games team :-) congratulations team good work :-) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-09-29, version 4.5* I love this game and how many different themes you can choose from!! Granted it kinda stinks that you have to pay for them, but they are relatively cheap and it's so worth it to get them! :) ### 5/5 — Fun *2014-04-06, version 4.1* Just started playing but it's fun so far. Love the beautiful graphics. If I can play without having to spend money I'll be very happy with it ### 5/5 — Good game *2014-02-15, version 4.0* Easy to spend way too much time with this! ### 5/5 — Simple Adictive!!! *2013-10-06* I've never thought I could become addicted to an iPhone App like this one! One thing though, if you run out of moves before you are Safe, DO NOT press the 'Continue' button, because if you do, no matter what level you are at, this will bring right down to Level 1, without any warning!!! Suggestion for the next update? Yup! 1). An Undo button! 2). An indication as of how many moves are possible at any time in the game! 3). Save the Level one is at at all times ...Please?? Thanks!! Daniel. ### 5/5 — Jewels *2013-07-13, version 3.2* Enjoy, but wish they would unlock more. ### 5/5 — Rate it! *2013-07-11, version 3.2* New Fashion Island is really cool. Can't stop myself from playing, love to complete all levels on different game modes. Awesome, addicting and challenging, that's the game. ### 5/5 — Nice Update *2013-07-11, version 3.2* Love this game so much, the upgrade made it even more interesting to play. Nice and fresh graphics.. Very fashionable design. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-06-27* This is so addictive it's great so given 5stars ### 5/5 — Challenges me to beat the time *2013-06-24, version 3.1* Quite a lot of modes of gametophyte choose from. I enjoy playing the Quick mode because it makes me think quick and try my best to beat the time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
