I liked the game until I could not play anymore ### 2/5 — Ads have gotten to be too much *2026-08-12, version 1245.100.0* Ads have taken over the game. There were always ads after a game, to get bonus points, etc.. I’ve played the game for several years. Now ads pop up while playing the game over and over again taking time off the game. This did not happen until about a month or so ago. I don’t have time for it. Too bad. I really like the game ### 2/5 — Ads ruin everything *2026-08-11, version 1245.100.0* Basically unplayable. Ads interrupt you multiple times right in the middle of levels. You lose your place, you lose time. Bummer. ### 4/5 — Okay *2026-08-07, version 1245.100.0* It is good but it wants you to pay for some things so I put a 4 star rating ### 2/5 — Match 3 D *2026-08-06, version 1245.100.0* Used to like the game a lot but now they are interrupting the game several times with ads. Not good ### 2/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2026-08-05, version 1245.99.0* Game is full of ads. And it’s 2-4 clicks to get out of each ad before you can play a game. The game is fun but the ads and process to get through them is not worth it. Especially when each ad is promoting another game that says it has zero ads. Don’t waste your time unless you like 2 minutes of ads between game play. ### 2/5 — Used to love *2026-07-20, version 1245.99.0* I have played this game for years since the last update in June, I can only play a couple levels before the game closes. I’m sick over this I love this game ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-18, version 1245.99.0* Love this game I like how it’s timed ### 5/5 — Five star⭐️ *2026-07-14, version 1245.99.0* Match 3D is a dream come true it it is the best app I have on my phone so make sure you make dreams come true be happy😊 ### 5/5 — timer *2026-07-12, version 1245.99.0* i think it would be way better if there was no timer. ### 2/5 — Match 3 *2026-07-12, version 1245.99.0* It is a great game but I’m done with the aggravation Been playing for months now and as I see it; you could go broke fast. Too bad too bc it was fun playing against the clock. .at first, but as you go on there is absolutely no way to finish in 2 minutes; no way! And not giving me an option to open anything for more time or to be taken away by the magnet. And it keeps freezing up now. It is a fun game at first, now it’s just aggravating me. AND I can choose on my own if my eyes need a break or not. Does it have to be sooo expensive too? ### 5/5 — Dick *2026-07-07, version 1245.99.0* Fun Shante ### 3/5 — Game is fun. Ads are not. *2026-07-04, version 1245.99.0* I haven’t played this game in a couple of years. Back then you could play for quite some time with minimal ads. Now you can play maybe three games and then you get stuck in an ad loop that you cannot get out of! Won’t be playing this game ever again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Repulsive add - violence *2026-08-09, version 1245.100.0* Appalling Ad -until today I loved this game but the new sickening ad promoting shooting animals is absolutely disgusting! No one should be playing a G rated game and have that violence pop up on the screen. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent Scam Ads *2026-07-31, version 1245.99.0* I understand why you need ads but why do you allow scam ads from false companies pretending to be everyone from Boots, Harrods and even Amazon. These should be illegal ### 1/5 — Bought ad can’t bypass them *2026-07-26, version 1245.99.0* I bought the and to bypass and won’t let me restore purchase on my new iPad suck! ### 1/5 — Game changer *2026-07-22, version 1245.99.0* This used to be a great game, but it changed. In past 2-3 months have not been able to play because the game knocks me out and won’t let me advance. Very sad to leave such a review. Also I was in high scores, then all of a sudden made me start again. That’s when my troubles started with this game. Also tried to contact support and could not. ### 1/5 — Too hard *2026-07-18, version 1245.99.0* This game has gone from fun to too stressful. Waste of time with so many super hard levels. Screw you. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-07-17, version 1245.99.0* It crashes a few seconds after starting a game. Every time.
