It stood the game completely and I have to log out and log back in. Hasn’t happened in 1100 games til you added the Halloween slot bonus game. Love the game but this is working ### 3/5 — Ok but *2021-07-04, version 4.4.2* I paid for this app to get rid of ads and I’m still getting ads. Fix it or I want my money back ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2021-01-13, version 4.4.0* Good game, apart from too many long boring adds.🥲 ### 3/5 — Aggravated *2020-11-13, version 4.3.2* I love this game. But, for the last month and a half I have been stuck on level 1980. No matter how many times I win, it will not advance to the next level. Also, when I should be given a chance to use coins for five more moves, the game quits and I have to start over. Please fix these glitches!!! I don’t want to start over and lose all the coins and extras I have built up. As I said, I really like this game and want to continue playing without losing anything. Thanks in advance ### 3/5 — Recent issue *2020-11-10, version 4.3.2* I have played and love this this game for years but after clearing level 1980 a week or so ago, no new levels have been added. Please fix this. Thanks ### 4/5 — Major problem *2020-08-27, version 4.2.0* The bonus banner has appeared in the playing section making it impossible to see the last two rows. This just appeared with the last update...gotta fix it ### 3/5 — Latest update hides the bottom two rows *2020-08-27, version 4.2.0* The row of optional gems normally shows at the far bottom of the screen. As of today, it appears a couple inches higher, obscuring the bottom two rows of the puzzle, making it impossible to see or select anything down there. ### 3/5 — Love this game but it just started crashing! *2019-11-28, version 3.0.0* Love this game but starting today it just started crashing! Please send an update... ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-09-06, version 2.4.0* Awesome game addictive ### 5/5 — Game *2019-04-27, version 2.1.0* Thank you, a game I am enjoying ### 5/5 — Love *2019-04-26, version 2.1.0* Need more free gems 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Jungle Gem Blast *2021-07-15, version 4.4.4* No fun to play since u updated version, was on 1200and ?, had to start back at beginning, now it’s no fun to play. ### 1/5 — Annoying sound issue *2021-04-04, version 4.4.1* On my iPad Mini 5 I keep the sound off. In the game settings I turned the sound off. Yet this game insists on turning it back on, full blast, when ads come on. Fun game play but too annoying of a problem. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Jungle gem blast *2019-12-01, version 3.0.1* Game keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Advertising *2019-09-18, version 2.4.0* Keeps cramping down your throat. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Something is wrong *2019-09-07, version 2.4.0* On stage 812 you can not pass it. You can clear the stage of all rocks and cages and it still says you still need to clear rocks 9 rocks but there is no more on the stage to clear. Please fix. This is an awesome game and would like to continue playing. ### 1/5 — New update *2019-04-02* Ever since I updated the game it freezes and only way to unfreeze it is to start the level again 🤦🏻‍♀️ guna delete the game soon. ### 2/5 — Could be fun as a paid app, but… *2021-10-04, version 4.4.8* This game is too aggressively focused on wringing money out of players. I would pay maybe $25 for a permanent right to use this ad-free, plus modest sums for upgrades. Instead I’m going to delete it after paying just $8 for a couple of starter packs, because the constant clamoring to buy stuff is very annoying. Booster packs are expensive, and the game coins earned by playing aren’t good for much. The ads are junky and intrusive. It’s $12.99 to turn them off for only 30 days (which would add up fast) and you can’t pay to turn them off permanently. The graphics are nice, though. ### 2/5 — Love the game but..... *2021-02-24, version 4.4.1* Three times I’ve installed and uninstalled due to being unable to close out of an ad. Really disappointed with that ### 2/5 — Impossible to play *2020-08-28, version 4.2.0* Having reached level 155 the ‘boosters’ are now displayed along the bottom of the game board making it impossible to play. This is the third time I’ve reached a similar level, only to have the game produce a glitch. I’ve tried to contact the developers but no response. Goodbye Jungle Gem Blast. ### 2/5 — Jungle Gem Blast *2019-09-01, version 2.4.0* I have enjoyed playing this game and have gotten quite far but there has been quite a few glitches and there is no place to report them for repair. I am experiencing one now and will have to delete the game as there is no way of advancing in the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2021-07-10, version 4.4.3* I really like this game.
