I found out how to get my purchase back thank goodness but all my options need resetting 😠 not disastrous but annoying. I'll give 5 * if it's sorted. ### 4/5 — More please! *2014-06-09, version 1.1* Took a while to get used to it but now I love it. Any chance of some more levels please? ### 4/5 — Dreamer *2013-07-02, version 1.1* It's the type of game that makes you think about each move and then get rewarded by pretty jewels. ### 4/5 — My review *2013-05-02, version 1.1* Good game very addictive. Hard to put down. ### 2/5 — Mr *2013-03-15, version 1.1* Like game but problems with locking up ### 4/5 — Pjj *2013-02-08, version 1.1* Good game ### 3/5 — Multi player mode often doesn't work *2013-01-19, version 1.1* A good game, but often refuses to connect to Internet, so I can't play against others. ### 5/5 — Love it!/hate it!! *2012-12-31, version 1.1* No, I don't hate it, but I do agree with "Why??" It's a cool game, tho, & very different & new idea. Ok, I love it..! ### 3/5 — Good game. BUT! *2012-12-31, version 1.1* At first I really liked this game but now, not so much. When I get a really large score going, like over 100,000, the game freezes up and I lose my points. It gives no warning, it just happens. So far I lost scores at least 6-7 times. I don't like playing it so much any more and I do not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Why? *2012-12-25, version 1.1* I am not the least bit interested in playing competitively against total strangers, nor do I appreciate having to be online to play any of the games by Absolutist. There has been an occasional game put out by Absolutist that I may have enjoyed but I never bother to keep any of them because of the ridiculous opponent and internet connection requirement. I see absolutely no reason why we should be forced to play against unknown opponents when most of their games are solo type games, and are far more enjoyable when played at one's own leisurely pace rather than running like a bat out of H-E-double-L to see who can play faster. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Julie *2022-06-09, version 1.4.3* I’ve played thi game for years and put up with losing my scores etc. every time it freezes or updatesand I had to reinstall. But this latest glitch is infuriating - it’s telling me to upgrade if I want to play all levels but it won’t let me pay for the upgrade and on the App Store it tells me I’ve already upgraded. Every time I finish a level I get the same message. Please fix this as I can’t put up with it. So from a great 5* game to only one star and I’ll be looking for something better. ### 1/5 — I lost my game *2015-09-24, version 1.0.1* I lost my game after updating to IOS 9, I had score in millions and I lost all of it. ### 1/5 — Sad with Update *2015-04-04, version 1.0.1* Lost my rating, lost my game. I understand I have to pay again. Sad. ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2014-11-20* Nach iPhone Update muss das Spiel neu gekauft werden! Volle abhocke!! Leider kann man nicht 0 Sterne vergeben ### 1/5 — Jewel Slider *2014-10-07, version 1.0.1* Updating to IOS 8 lost my game. Had a score of 278,000,000. There is no way to access my screen name. AND I have to pay these people again. Also noticed I have to updat with every device. Finding new game ### 1/5 — Took away my purchase *2013-12-20, version 1.1* Went to play this game after a couple of months away and it's making me pay to upgrade to the full level again. What a rip-off. I will be deleting. ### 1/5 — Plays sound when phone is in silent mode *2013-11-23, version 1.1* Rookie mistake ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS GAME *2013-07-28, version 1.1* This game has gone from yea to nay...I'm tired of being stuck forEVER on a level, never losing, but never winning or ending...I'm tired of asking for help everywhere I can think of but being ignored...I'm tired of buying games that appear fun and worth my hard-earned money and only after purchasing them they fall apart and all the glitches come out of their glitch hiding places...and, finally I'm tired of reloading the games because the App Store said my previous purchase would be recognised but that in fact is a lie in itself and I'm tired if it. I'm only happy that you've allowed me only one (1) review and I was able to watch it go from great to crap myself! I'm sick and tired of people doing half-assed jobs with negligible work ethics and I'm so sad that because of soul-sucking illness, leading to life-crushing boredom has led me to playing any kind of ridiculous game on an appliance in my home instead of going out and living my life like I used to...I'm just plain tired of mediocrity being the crap we (I) accept every day and standing silent. ### 1/5 — Challenging! *2013-04-18, version 1.1* This game is fun and challenging. It can be hard to understand what to do, however. ### 1/5 — Jewel slider *2012-12-31, version 1.1* Bought it. It froze. Won't work now ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need Update/Patch for New System Update *2014-09-25, version 1.1* I love this game and I have yet to find anything similar with the sliding aspect. But after I updated my iPad this game will only open to a blank black screen and freeze. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Jewel slider *2014-03-30* It's fantastic !! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2013-05-02, version 1.1* This is a more challenging game than Fitz; it requires more strategy than luck. The opponent component is annoying, however ### 5/5 — Jewel sliders *2013-04-06, version 1.1* Took a while to understand the game but once you are in then it is quite addictive. ### 5/5 — Jewel sliders *2013-03-12, version 1.1* great game once you understand what to do.
