However, it doubles and triple charges Match Pass, I believe it’s a scam to extract more money off players. You can request a refund but it’s a pain to keep checking charges and requesting refunds ### 2/5 — Too many annoying ads that take over speakers *2026-09-09, version 3.0.6* I like the game but am denying it now because the ads are just too annoying. I appreciate that developers should earn income from their work and don’t begrudge them that, but when there is an ad after EVERY round that stops my book or podcast it’s more irritating than the game is fun. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-23, version 3.0.3* I absolutely love this game ~ I’m on level 11,111! However, I am very disappointed in the amount of ads that have been included in the last few months. It’s made me switch to other puzzle games with fewer ads. 😕 Do you really need that many? ### 2/5 — Spoiled *2026-07-23, version 3.0.0* Ads ruin this ### 2/5 — Reduced time added for the same $$ *2026-07-14, version 2.9.8* I’ve been playing this on and on for a while. I noticed today that they reduced the extra time you can buy with coins from 60 seconds to just 20 seconds. They still charge you the same price for it though. Cheap and sneaky. Put it back. ### 2/5 — Fun, but privacy issues! *2026-07-09, version 2.9.8* I loved this game, but their change in product policy brought a lot of tracking issues with it. I had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Ads added now. Not happy. *2026-07-05, version 2.9.5* So disappointed. I made it to level 6500 only to discover ads have now been added. In between every level. I love this game but won’t waste my time anymore as the adds are longer than each level played. ### 2/5 — 宣伝 *2026-07-05* 一面クリアする毎にCMが入るようになった。せめて10面毎にしてほしい。削除です。 **Developer response:** Dear player, advertisements will appear after you reach certain levels. You can choose to wait a short while or purchase the "remove ads" pack from the store. We look forward to hearing from you again. The Knot Busters 3D Team ### 1/5 — Knot busters *2026-07-02, version 2.9.5* Just not much fun to play ### 3/5 — Way too many ads now! *2026-07-02, version 2.9.5* Really, an ad now after every game with this latest update? I completely understand needing ads, but this is too much! Where I was addicted to the game before because I just love it, this certainly curbed my addiction now! Maybe I should say, thank you? ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-07-01, version 2.9.5* What is with the ignorant ads that can’t be deleted?! They break the flow of the game, waste time for the players! This is ridiculous we are forced to waste all this time for an ad for something we are not interested in or will ever download. I will be deleting this app if they continue. ### 1/5 — New “feature” makes playing impossible *2026-07-01, version 2.9.5* Every time I complete a puzzle, an ad for some other app comes up and I can’t escape back to Knot Busters 3D wirhout shutting it down. It won’t allow feedback either ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-06-30, version 2.9.5* I've been playing this game for a long time and now on the update 6/29/26 there are minutes of ads between EACH game! I'm deleting what USED to be a fun game. ### 1/5 — New ads make it unplayable *2026-06-29, version 2.9.5* This was an enjoyable game, but the new, more intrusive ads are sufficiently annoying to make me uninstall it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Timer *2026-09-10, version 3.0.6* Don’t like timers, takes away the relaxation of the game. ### 1/5 — Désinstallé *2026-08-31* Désinstallé après quelques minutes de jeux. Je joue pour me détendre et non pas pour être encore plus stressé par un timer 😪 **Developer response:** Dear Player, We’re sorry the timer made the game feel stressful instead of relaxing. A no-timer mode is still in development and is not available in the current version. Sincerely knot busters 3d team ### 1/5 — Timers starts at level 41! *2026-08-03, version 3.0.2* So much for no timer. ### 1/5 — Latest update 3.00 *2026-08-01, version 3.0.1* Puts ads into the game that play after every game and completely ruined the game. Already paid to not have ads when I first got the game a couple of years ago. Not paying twice. So sad until this I would have rated it 5 stars. I was part of a great team and many of them are getting disillusioned by these updates ### 1/5 — Problems *2026-07-31, version 3.0.1* After events are finished they stay up there for extra days than on Sunday all of a sudden there is a new challenge and I just have till midnight to finish it this has been happening for months can't contact support I really like this game except for these problems so only 1 Star instead of 5 ### 1/5 — Cheating player not dealt with. *2026-07-30, version 3.0.1* I have sent detailed evidence where a player is getting an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE with some sort of extra time boost in their cup tournament. It is a simple mathematical equation to work out, especially over a longer period in the tournament. You DIVIDE CUP POINTS BY GAMES PLAYED. Without extra time boost, you get 16 cup points for every 10 games. I have fully detailed a particular players numbers, but because I can’t prove how they are getting this unfair advantage, and the developers aren’t smart enough to find out, it is just easier to DISMISS THE ISSUE ### 1/5 — Knot busters *2026-07-13, version 2.9.8* Ads are too time consuming. I don’t want to waste so much time watching ads. Short ads are ok . Less than 1 minute. ### 1/5 — Too many ads!!! *2026-07-08, version 2.9.7* I have been playing for a long time but here recently everytime you finish a game you get an ad which is so annoying so I deleted the game bc it became such a nuisance to play ### 1/5 — Ads making game unbearable! *2026-07-05, version 2.9.5* All of a sudden the game is full with ads. I downloaded this game and have been paying this ad free all this time. It is an ad popping up every two seconds unnecessarily and it’s making the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Ads all the time! *2026-07-05, version 2.9.5* Last update introduce ads between each attempt. Unplayable… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — English cc Daniel *2026-08-21, version 3.0.3* English cc Daniel ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun *2026-08-09, version 3.0.3* Keeps the brain healthy. ### 5/5 — While the cheater may not have been caught, developers changing things in the hope of fair play. *2026-08-06, version 3.0.1* I have sent detailed evidence where a player is getting an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE with some sort of extra time boost in their cup tournament. It is a simple mathematical equation to work out, especially over a longer period in the tournament. You DIVIDE CUP POINTS BY GAMES PLAYED. Without extra time boost, you get 16 cup points for every 10 games. I have fully detailed a particular players numbers, but because I can’t prove how they are getting this unfair advantage, and the developers aren’t smart enough to find out, it is just easier to DISMISS THE ISSUE ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-22, version 3.0.0* Played this game few years ago, forgot how much fun it was ### 5/5 — Why these awful updates? *2026-07-05, version 2.9.5* This was the best game! I could keep playing and now at every transition, I am bogged down with commercials. It’s now more annoying than other games. I was in the 2000+ level but I think adding these annoying interferences is a good reason to quit. And I hate the frogs. Why did you change this. I’m so disappointed. ### 5/5 — Love this…..BUT…. *2026-07-01, version 2.9.5* I’ve played this for a long time but, and here’s the BUT, suddenly there are ads after every level! There never used to be and there is no option to stop them. Very disappointing as it has totally put me off playing it now. ### 5/5 — My new favorite game! *2026-06-27, version 2.9.4* I played a lot of puzzle games, but this one I can’t seem to put down. Five months in I still find it challenging, but not frustrating. ### 5/5 — Not consistent *2026-05-19, version 2.9.2* Game play is good, there’s some things I don’t like. However, during the Music City Tour, if you have been successful getting balls, you get far more 1x pts than when starting that portion, basically penalizing players. Change your algorithm. ### 5/5 — Frustrated *2026-05-01, version 2.9.0* Why won’t you support the Android already my wife has an android phone and takes my phone just to play this darn game ### 5/5 — Got time? *2026-04-27, version 2.9.0* At first??? Then ooooh, then aaahhh, then WOW!! I find that when playing I’ll lose myself & as time passed I am lost in the game. You need a break, a time pass, an adrenaline boost, or brain changes find these in Knot Buster 3D.
