Recently revisited it but I don’t remember it having nearly as many ads!? I could’ve sworn it was a ads free or at least minimum ad game, now every-time I complete a level im stuck on an ad for 30 seconds to a whole minute which is frustrating. Miss the old days :( ### 3/5 — Ever heard of updates? *2026-07-25, version 4.16* It was fun to begin with, last year. Came here because of Ryan Trahan and here were are still doing the 50 states graphics. I’ve collected so many duplicates and I’m finally at the point where I’m just going to move on. The game is fine, I’ve played way too much but I’m tired of feeling like the game has been forgotten by the developer. ### 5/5 — Love This Game Play *2026-07-25, version 4.16* Might not look like other Match 3; but, there are no lives to maintain, no power ups to purchase, no other distractions. If you don’t solve the challenges within the assigned moves, that’s it. Game over. You can keep playing it until you resolve. I love playing it so much that I have removed all other Match 3 games. Oh, and you can remove the ads! Join in on the fun! Do it!😉 ### 5/5 — Staple Games *2026-07-24, version 4.16* So this match collecting is fun with no ads or no WiFi needed and thx Ryan Trahan for this amazing opportunity to play match collector on my iPhone and iPad as well. ### 5/5 — Fave game *2026-07-24, version 4.16* This is my favorite game I got to level 93! In one day I promise I did but I’m having trouble with but still it’s my favorite game of all time. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-21, version 4.16* Very good ### 5/5 — Listen please *2026-07-21, version 4.16* The game is great but they need to add feature where you can link up a Apple or Google account to save because it would be helpful ### 5/5 — 50 states *2026-07-15, version 4.16* I saw this game on Ryan Trahan’s 50 states and 50 days for Saint Jude and I’m like let me try it out so then I try out my Match Collector biggest non regret of my life it’s so fun and you can go to the 50 states thing like Ryan and Haley did recommend recommended this game five out of five stars 10 stars whatever such a good game ### 5/5 — how great match collector is *2026-07-15, version 4.16* Match collector is so fun and amazing that they made it of of a ryan t 50 states in 50days amazing how much they donated to Saint Jude 👍👍✝️✝️✝️ ### 2/5 — Suddenly choppy *2026-07-14, version 4.16* It used to be smooth but a recent update has halved the FPS and it feels slower and visually choppy. So I deleted and reinstalled it and lost everything. ### 3/5 — Level starts over if you leave the app :( *2026-07-13, version 4.16* I love this game, a lot. Got busy and didn’t play for a while, and now, apparently, if I have to leave the app mid level, even if I don’t fully close the app, the app is basically suspended, so if I have to stop and do something else on my phone for several minutes, I have to start over the level when I go back to the app. Makes it really difficult to play as a busy person who’s constantly interrupted. Once got down to just a couple moves left and then had to go take care of one of my kids. Went back to it, and had to start from square one (no pun intended). Other than that, I love it. I wish they would fix it. ### 5/5 — Ryan trayhan *2026-07-12, version 4.16* I watched the whole series and couldn’t wait to download this game. It’s so fun and exciting that I just want to do it all in one sitting ### 5/5 — Staple games *2026-07-11, version 4.16* Let’s gooooo!! I love this game! ❤️ New state unlocked! 🔓 ### 2/5 — Great game but false advertisement *2026-07-08, version 4.16* I kept getting ads about this “only skippable ads” game. I feel like that’s false here. There is an ad after every level (starting awhile in after they get you to rate the game and share with your friends) the ads are the ones where you have to skip to get to a playable demo, play that for a time and then “skip” to take you to the store page for that game, then when you exit that screen it takes you back to a flat page advertisement of the game that you can “skip” to return back to the game. It takes quite awhile to do all of this and it feels no different than every other free with ads games ### 3/5 — Suddenly choppy *2026-07-06, version 4.16* It used to be smooth but a recent update has halved the FPS and it feels slower and visually choppy. ### 5/5 — Love 50 states *2026-07-06, version 4.16* I finished the show love it well of doom! ### 5/5 — Staple games are the goat *2026-07-04, version 4.16* Thanks for supporting Ryan and Haley in the 50 states and 50 days series great game but it’s really laggy now all of a sudden it didn’t used to be like this maybe this is just an issue with my phone or my wifi but nothing else is lagging just match collector just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this anyways Great game 5 stars ### 5/5 — Match collector *2026-07-02, version 4.16* So much fun thank you staple games also shout out to Ryan Trahan!😍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-07-19, version 4.16* Downloaded and played. 5 minutes in and got hit by an ad ### 1/5 — Became like every other game *2026-03-30, version 4.11* I loved this game. It was a favorite of mine that I played in my free time every day. Then life happened and I got a little busy. After returning I find that what made this app so love able has changed. When I began playing I downloaded because of no ads. Now there’s one after every level. Just like every other game I can’t stand. This makes me sort of sad and I hope they change it back because until then I’ll want to play a lot less. I hope the developers consider returning to what made their game unique and even more fun. ### 1/5 — Was good *2026-02-03, version 4.11* This game was good until they added so many ads to the game ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-01-09, version 4.09* Downloaded because there was supposed to be minimal ads. Now there is an ad after each game ### 1/5 — Used to be fun. USED TO LOVE IT!! *2025-11-27, version 4.09* I used to play this game ALL THE TIME! Now with all the changes and long ads in the middle of the game, I’m lucky to make it through one game before I quit and go to another game. Can’t recommend this game to anyone anymore. And this review will probably never be seen by anyone. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — This is an ads app with a game, not a game app with ads *2025-11-16, version 4.09* Enough said. ### 1/5 — Fun but with Abusive Amount of Ads *2025-10-17, version 4.09* Started playing this game and supported Ryan Trahan’s 50 states 50 days campaign – and the gameplay is actually pretty cool and entertaining. But the number of ads that you have to watch repeatedly every time you don’t get through a level or between levels is stultifying. I have been pushed on the same game so many times – and the joke is most of the games don’t actually play the way that the ads show after installed. So there’s a lot of bait and switch here. These guys have some really cool game design, but their greedy pushing of other apps wastes their creativity. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-10-14, version 4.09* Literally an Ad after every single game. Not even worth it. Done. ### 1/5 — 30 second games with 5 minutes of ads after each one *2025-10-13, version 4.08* 99% of this game is watching ads. ### 1/5 — I love this game. But I can’t take it anymore. *2025-10-11, version 4.08* I downloaded this game when Ryan did his 50 states in 50 days for awesome cause and I wanted to support. I continued playing through out the episodes cheering both on. Until one day a ad popped up maybe every 6-10 games but I didn’t mind we all have to make money right? Then I lost a game one day and a ad popped up I won and game and you guessed it a ad next thing I know every game I play I’m waiting 30sec to a min. I’ll say this for all of mobile games we. Are. Tried. Of. Cash. Grabby. Company’s you guys ruined your own game for what money? You’ll gave it up so easy too. Due to this I will no longer be playing the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ryan *2026-08-17, version 4.16* New state unlock ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-08, version 4.16* Started with Ryan and I have not stopped since! ### 5/5 — messi 10 *2026-08-03, version 4.16* great super easy and very fun as well I have been playing it since the age of 12 .

Now I do know that was like a year ago but yea. The games good. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-29, version 4.16* 1 minute and I was hooked and it’s better than candy crush ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE *2026-07-27, version 4.16* I mainly got this game for the 50 states in 50 days tour from Ryan Trayhan and IT WAS AWESOME and after the tour ended I was so sad but this game is definitely still worth it so I keep playing ### 5/5 — Match Collector *2026-07-25, version 4.16* Awesome. I’m just in awe. Amazed with the graphics. I love the Ryan Trahan theme. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
