I decided to redownload it because majority of games have ads unless you pay for it and I enjoyed the game. Lo and behold, this game now has ads. What really annoys be more than the ads, are the 5 pop ups that come up whenever I open the app. I get you’re trying to promote your other games but do you really need all those pop ups and ads for other things? ### 2/5 — 広告が多い *2026-06-28* 動きは滑らかでよかったが、広告が多すぎてやる気がなくなった ### 4/5 — J’adore ce jeu ! *2026-05-29* Honnêtement, je suis accro à ce jeu depuis de nombreuses année mais que de bugs !!! Alors autant avant ça passait parce qu’on ne se tapait pas des pubs toutes les 2 minutes mais maintenant c’est le cas ! Dommage… ### 4/5 — Jewel Mania is the best! *2026-05-20, version 1.9.5* I love this game more than any other one I've played. I am usually drawn to word games, but this one has really grabbed me. Some levels are a bit frustrating but challenging enough to keep me at it! Try it, you will quickly be drawn in! ### 4/5 — Like the game but freezes With ads *2026-05-10, version 1.9.5* I love this game but find it freezes when I watch the ads , I have spoke with others who find the same issue . If you try to use ads for extra time or moves it almost always freezes. If not for all my lost lives having to restart I would highly recommend. The developers need to fix these glitches ### 3/5 — Glitch *2026-05-09, version 1.9.5* I’ve been playing for a while (level 800+)and lately, probably within the last 6 weeks, it freezes up after I play just one game. It seems to be after an ad. The screen looks like it’s ready to advance to the next game but when I try to play, I get no reaction when I click around. It’s only happening in Jewel Mania, no other games. ### 3/5 — Jewel mania *2026-05-02, version 1.9.5* Game freezes frequently, very annoying. Too many ads as well. ### 3/5 — Like game but ads freeze a lot *2026-04-24, version 1.9.5* Mw ### 4/5 — Challenging game *2026-04-20, version 1.9.5* This game must be the worst maintained ever. Quite often the ads cut in once you’ve started playing. It quite often can’t keep up with your game play speed, probably an ad trying to cut in! Now after watching an ad, nothing works,it’s been like that for weeks now. Occasionally when you log in ,you start at level one.i’ve then got to scroll through to level 800. I no longer get bombs as my inventory is full, it would take weeks to find them and use them up. Get it sorted,please. ### 3/5 — Help *2026-04-13, version 1.9.5* I have been stuck in the same area for about two years. Most games give you a break at some point to move all. Very frustrating. The game is fun and I miss it. ### 3/5 — Mixed views *2026-04-12, version 1.9.5* Whilst I really like the game I agree with many of the comments. It’s too short and then the wait time to continue and refill is far too long. I find it virtually impossible to gain 3 stars on any new levels despite scoring highly. I hate the number of adverts for other games and it’s very slow to load on iPad. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable with some frustrations…. *2026-04-10, version 1.9.5* I have been playing Jewel Mania for years, now! Enjoy the challenges at the different levels. But I cannot understand why it seems impossible to achieve the 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ at so many levels!!?? I have asked before and never got a reply!? ### 3/5 — JEWEL MANIA *2026-04-06, version 1.9.5* Too many adds. Fun gave but you just give up because of all the adds you have to watch. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-04-05, version 1.9.5* Great game made infuriating by ads ### 4/5 — Great but *2026-04-03, version 1.9.5* Love this game but struggling to move onto the next level now. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2026-04-03* Очень люблю это приложение, оно не работает ### 2/5 — Challenging game *2026-03-26, version 1.9.5* This game must be the worst maintained ever. Quite often the ads cut in once you’ve started playing. It quite often can’t keep up with your game play speed, probably an ad trying to cut in! Now after watching an ad, nothing works,it’s been like that for a week now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes constantly *2026-07-26, version 1.9.5* freezes rrrrt ### 1/5 — 36 уровней *2026-07-14* 36 уровней. Три звезды в каждом. Дальше тупик. «Пожалуйста, подождите, скачивание» и все. На выделенке…. ### 1/5 — Where are free lives?!! *2026-06-29, version 1.9.5* Yes you idiot it’s my name ### 1/5 — Does not display color gem total score on iPad Air M4 *2026-06-25, version 1.9.5* I have a new iPad Air M4 OS 26.5 and the color gem total score does NOT display any where on the screen. You can only see the color gem score of the game you have just completed. Everything else works as before. ### 1/5 — No new stages for over 3 years. Is it abandoned? *2026-06-23* I cleared all 1,968 stages a few years ago. Since then, it has been over three years with absolutely no new stages added. Is this app no longer being updated? ### 1/5 — Ads freeze the game *2026-05-29, version 1.9.5* The ads on this game are trash! If you’re playing well in a game and an ad pops up, or if you use an ad to get a few more moves/time to win the game, good luck! The game freezes and you have to close the game and start over… thus losing an energy and the game. Been going on a few months now and even WORSE lately. It used to be “once in a blue moon”, now it’s literally 95% of the gameplay! Im at level 888 and I’m over it! ### 1/5 — Ads freeze the game *2026-04-24, version 1.9.5* The ads on this game are trash!
