### 1/5 — Phone Frozen

*2026-08-10, version 1.57.0*

I had to delete this game cause it made my phone freeze up.

### 5/5 — Good so far

*2026-07-28, version 1.57.0*

They say the more levels u do the more u get paid so im see what happens when I get to level 100

### 5/5 — I love the game

*2026-07-20, version 1.57.0*

I wish people would download it and just try it5 star reviews for me i hope they pay us for playing and not pennies on a dollar it’s time wasting for just what some games pay us and I deleted them but seems promising I will watch and see

### 1/5 — Lockups

*2026-07-12, version 1.57.0*

Locks up my phone and is just a clone of a thousand other apps on the store

### 3/5 — Match mania sucks

*2026-02-12, version 1.31*

The game takes away points for no reason . The game sucks now . Reboot your game !

### 3/5 — Pretty Good

*2025-09-01, version 1.31*

I used to play Joy Match 3D and loved it, but when I updated my iPhone it was no longer available. This game was the next closest. I do like it, but would like a white background. The red items are hard to distinguish with the black background. There is also kind of a delay when you tap the items,which is a bit annoying.  Joy Match 3D didn’t have that problem. I also liked that with Joy Match 3D, you could start in on a tournament, whereas this game “tournament” is what level you are on in comparison to others. All in all, I do like the game since my favorite game isn’t available anymore.

### 1/5 — What are the rules?

*2024-10-01, version 1.31*

It’s now been two months after my previous review. I contacted the developer to ask all these questions… crickets. So obviously developer could care less about this game. 

Previous review - There’s no explanation of what anything is on the Home Screen. Why does the timer change every game? What are the Star Chest and Level Chests? What are the hearts? What are the stars ? What is the diamond to infinity symbol bar? It would be helpful to know what the heck is going on!

### 1/5 — Game designed to keep you from continuing to play

*2024-07-21, version 1.31*

I have played this game whenever I needed to relax. But when you get to the point of having 70K+ coins or on levels above 3400, they no longer give you more than 2 minutes to complete the game. The only way to continue is to use your coins to buy matches or lives. Eventually that will use up all of your winnings. Now that the game is no longer comfortable to play, I’m done with it.

### 4/5 — Match mania

*2024-03-12, version 1.31*

Fix your game !!!  Ads freeze so that you can’t complete the game. FIX it !!!😡

### 1/5 — Too many commercials

*2024-02-21, version 1.31*

I removed. Commercials in the middle of a game. Ridiculous—free or not.
