It’s barebones, but that’s what makes it ideal for a quick game or ten! Just 2 things: 1) Gameplay could be smoother. As someone else mentioned, the pieces feel like they’re “sticking,” and it makes making matches more irritating than it has to be. 2) The daily Pearls. I had been getting my one pearl a day up until recently! Sometimes, I don’t get the daily pearl which can be frustrating, but not a deal breaker. Overall, this is a fun game with no ads that’s pretty darn good! But if you promise daily pearls, we should receive them! ### 4/5 — Jewel Beach *2024-08-19, version 1.50* I love the game but the main problem is there’s no music. The music i remember when I was a kid was soothing and had me thinking about it and now it’s not there. I try google searching it but nothing. Please bring the soothing music back I miss it. ### 3/5 — Wish there was a way to win. *2023-01-15, version 1.46* I wish it would show what I missed when I loose. Wish there was a way to get more points. ### 4/5 — Good match game with two modes *2020-03-20, version 1.42* Like other games by this developer, this is well done. Both the timed mode and the relaxed mode are enjoyable. Easy to pick up and play when you have a few minutes. Thank you for a great game that’s not greedy ... there are no IAPs and the banner ads don’t get in the way of playing. I would pay a small fee to nix the ads, but it’s still ok as is. ### 2/5 — More flash *2017-10-14, version 1.37* Get more special effects When you get 4 or more, More excitement. ### 4/5 — Jewel Beach *2017-08-27, version 1.37* Great for stress!! ......very addictive though =} ### 4/5 — Simple but effective *2016-12-09, version 1.35* Love this game and I love how I have a relax mode. Overall it is a simple and nice game. Worth a download for all Bejeweled fans. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2016-09-20, version 1.34* Easy to play and lots of fun. ### 5/5 — Still love it *2016-09-11, version 1.34* I love this game! It's both visually and auditorily appealing. I play it every day. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable time waster *2016-09-08, version 1.34* I enjoy playing this game; however have not yet discovered how to turn the sound off other than muting the device. ### 4/5 — Fun, but... *2016-08-05, version 1.31* Very enjoyable. The only frustrating part is the seeming randomness of why, or when, you get the "Game Over" message. It doesn't appear to be tied to how many minutes you have been playing, nor the score, as far as I can tell. Annoying if you can clearly see that you haven't run out of moves...apparently, the game gets bored with you! ### 5/5 — Relax on the beach. *2015-08-14, version 1.28* I like this app, it's relaxing and compulsive and you have the choice of relaxation or competitive. An enjoyable app which I would recommend to anyone. ### 2/5 — Slow ... *2015-07-16, version 1.28* It is a cute game but it runs too slow. And when you switch the jewels to make a match it's almost like they are stuck to a sticky substance that is keeping you from moving them. Not keeping it. ### 5/5 — Jewel Beach *2015-06-25, version 1.28* LOTS off fun! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2015-04-29, version 1.26* This is the most addictive game I ever played. Once you started, you're hooked forever. ### 5/5 — Jewels *2015-02-21, version 1.26* Great fon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to LOVE it but … *2025-09-13, version 1.52* I played this game for a few years and loved it but at some point it changed so that much of the screen is continuous auto play ads. Very sad because it used to be pretty great. ### 1/5 — Obnoxious noises, Settings not apparent or non-existent *2021-10-29, version 1.45* This app makes obnoxiously noises during game play. (Really, why do app developers think people like this?) I could not find settings at all. So turning off the noise was not an option. I have many apps, and all others have settings you can find. ### 1/5 — Werbung nervt *2018-04-21* War mal ganz nett, Werbung nervt, kann man direkt TV schauen. Ist nicht schlimm, man kann es ja löschen. ### 1/5 — Ok ... but *2016-02-21, version 1.28* The game isn't difficult to play so in that sense it's ok ... BUT there's NO way to turn off the sound which makes it a non-option for my game play. It got removed from my device. ### 1/5 — iOS8 *2014-09-23, version 1.25* iOS8にしたら、開かない・・・ ### 1/5 — Boring *2014-03-12, version 1.23* No point it's repeated over and over no levels ### 1/5 — Very disappointed! *2014-03-06, version 1.23* Annoying sounds. Difficult to figure out how to play. Deleted it! 😞 I have tried the Boy Howdy yatzee, word jewels, mahjong, and black jack games. They were great games! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍 ### 1/5 — Nope *2013-12-07, version 1.23* No way to turn off the sound if you want to listen to your own music. ### 1/5 — すぐに落ちる *2013-09-14, version 1.22* 強制アップデートのダイアログが出てアップデートしたら、落ちまくり。 何とかしてください。 ### 1/5 — 壊れてるの？ *2013-09-14, version 1.22* バージョンアップしたら、ゲーム終了時にソフトが落ちるんですけど、続けてプレイさせない為の親切設計ですか？点数の確認が出来ない。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-08-10, version 1.45* It’s a fun game. Nice to have a choice of either times or just relaxing. The only thing I would online to ask is instead of the game being an automatic clear after you clear a matching set, just let us manually clear a set. Automatic clearing doesn’t leave us with a longer game. I hope that made sense. But again. This is my morning game with my coffee. All the best ### 5/5 — The *2020-09-03, version 1.43* I loloolvvvvveeee the game my bro thinks it’s dumb though ### 5/5 — 良い！！ *2019-09-22, version 1.41* 広告が入らないし、おもしろい🤣 ### 5/5 — Great relaxing game *2019-01-08, version 1.39* I love this game. Unlike so many of the Boy Howdy jewel games, this one does not progress in difficulty from level to level. So you don’t go through the typical progression into frustration and delete this game. It is instead a challenging game without being evil. The graphics are very pretty. Over all, it is my favorite of the Boy Howdy jewel games. ### 5/5 — JAB *2019-01-08, version 1.39* Playtime relax and it’s fun. ### 5/5 — シンプルでハマる *2018-10-03, version 1.38* ついつい時間を忘れて、はまってしまってます。 ### 5/5 — This game is great *2018-09-29, version 1.38* I play Beach Jewel everyday, sometimes for hours. You can play to relax or you can race the clock. This game doesn’t interfere with my iPad, the banner ads are in a good place and I love playing. ### 5/5 — Love this game. *2018-09-19, version 1.38* I have three Boy Howdy games and this one is the most recent one. I have already become addicted to it and have spent many hours playing both modes. Either relax and take your time making matches or race the clock for some excitement, you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2018-06-04, version 1.38* Have enjoyed this game for years. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-05-20, version 1.38* Very relaxing and challenging. Two levels keeps the game interesting. The “beat the clock” option is very exciting and the sky is the limit on points but you have to be really on your toes! Match three or more. The relaxed option is great when you want a relaxed game you can play for a short time and get back to. Really first-class match game. Addictive ... in the nicest way! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
