I love it and play all the time but the constant ads are killing me. Wish there was an option to just buy out the endless constant ads! It breaks the pace. ### 3/5 — Been playing this for years *2024-11-18, version 2.01.02* Obviously I like this game. In fact it’s my favorite. But… I need to let you know how frustrating it has become lately. Too many times I am fighting the clock to finish and I get to my last match and it won’t finish. It freezes up and I got clear to the end in time only to watch the clock run out while the very last match freezes. I’m talking several times a day!!!! What the heck? Please look into this and hopefully fix it. I want it to continue to be my favorite game. ### 3/5 — Been playing this for years *2024-08-19* Obviously I like this game. In fact it’s my favorite.

Can’t finish a game before the screen freezes! Have to reboot to get a new game! I’m done. *2024-01-26, version 2.01.02* Don’t bother! ### 1/5 — Appalling - Not recommended *2023-12-08, version 2.01.02* I bought this game and enjoyed playing it except for the extremely intrusive adverts. I understand that developers need advertising revenue to support a free game but I’ve never had a game before where the 3 or 4 minute gameplay is interrupted by up to 3 separate 60 second adverts. So… I paid to remove adverts and guess what? It made no difference at all. I wrote to application support explaining the situation and guess what? Nothing happened. I wrote again…same result. Then, to rub salt into the wound, I got an email asking for feedback on how my query was handled. You couldn’t make it up. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2023-11-01, version 2.01.02* Love the game but constantly glitches and sends you back to the beginning. Shame really because it could be good. ### 2/5 — Do pay for no ads!!!! *2023-06-06, version 2.01.02* I love this game, but I was bothered by the ads, so I paid the $6 to stop the ads, and I’m still getting them right in the middle of the game! I tried resetting but nothing works…..just a waste of money. ### 2/5 — Was super fun until… *2023-05-29, version 2.01.02* I played this one a lot but I’m deleting it from my phone now that ads are popping up during the short gameplays. It messes me and my concentration up and I refuse to pay $5.99 to turn off ads. No thanks! What a shame. ### 1/5 — Shop master *2023-03-07, version 2.01.02* Don’t bother with this game, just riddled with ads, more ads than play time.Good thing it’s free. ### 1/5 — In App purchases don’t work *2023-02-04, version 2.01.02* The game is decent but has TONS of ads. I purchased the No ad option. I Still have ads and no response or refund given. Buyer Beware. ### 3/5 — Ads! *2023-01-24, version 2.01.02* I love this game but there are so many ads! They interrupt mid game. I paid to stop the ads which I have never done before but they were driving me insane. The ads still keep coming though so I’m not very happy! Spent money for nothing and the non stop ads ruin the whole game experience. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2023-01-18, version 2.01.02* The game locks up frequently! I often lose points and my rhythm. So frustrating. I really like the game but I am considering deleting it from my phone because it freezes a lot. ### 1/5 — Pay for no ads still interrupts with ads *2022-12-14, version 2.01.02* Waste of money paying for no ads rip off ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-11-24, version 2.01.02* I previously gave this game 2 stars because the game play itself is fun when it works. But there are several issues that make it unplayable. 1. It glitches so often and pieces will disappear causing you to fail. OFTEN. 2. SO MANY ADS. 3. I paid the $6 to have no ads and I still had the same # of ads so basically they just got me for $6. 4. The higher levels only give you 2 seconds to clear a board. It’s ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Don’t pay to remove ads, it won’t work. *2022-10-27, version 2.01.02* I love the game itself, but there are way too many ads. I paid $5.99 to remove them but it didn’t Take the ads away, nor did it reduce the number of ads. I’ve found no way to contact anyone about it. I don’t mind paying to remove ads on games I like as it makes the play more enjoyable. I DO mind paying to remove ads and ads aren’t removed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to love this game *2026-04-22, version 2.01.02* I played this game so much that I’m at level 240, but now it is completely unplayable. Having ads pop up in the middle of a level of a concentration game renders it useless. Deleting the game. ### 1/5 — Worst most ads of any game *2025-07-13* I deleted the app as soon as it said no more lives. It makes you sit through ad after ad and then says you are out of lives. So here is your answer…….deleted the app.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 I paid for NO ads and I still have to sit through ads on every level. Ridiculous and this company is completely misleading you!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Again this company completely lies about their ads. I paid for no ads and I still have to sit through their ads.

It makes you sit through ad after ad and then says you are out of lives. So here is your answer…….deleted the app.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2024-03-22, version 2.01.02* Keeps freezing you can’t put the objects to the bottom but the timer keeps going off.. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-03-09, version 2.01.02* Would play this game for hours and watch many ads before and after, but the ads pop up in the middle of a game. Going to delete ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-03-08, version 2.01.02* Fun game, but it freezes a lot, even tho the timer is still counting down. There are SO MANY ADS, it is constantly interrupting the game. I paid to have ads removed and it did not remove the ads! This seems like a complete rip off. ### 1/5 — Mad grandma *2024-03-07, version 2.01.02* This game gets negative stars from me!!! I’ve been playing for a while and now I get ONLY 5 seconds to clear it!!! I’m not spending money and I’m so tired of wasting my life on watching ads to get enough coins to help me through! DONT DO IT!!! THEY WANT YOU TO SPEND MONEY!! ### 1/5 — Shop master *2024-03-01, version 2.01.02* This is now sticking on ads & you can't go back and you have to close. It's a fun game but I'm going to delete because it's wasting my time - there's enough similar games to play. Sorry you have to fix! ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2024-02-17, version 2.01.02* As much as I want to enjoy this game, it has WAY too many ads. Every 5-10 seconds there are ads. It lags A LOT and sometimes if you find a match, it wont go through! It’s annoying to play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game but the ads are a pain! *2023-11-17, version 2.01.02* I love this game, but am constantly interrupted by ads that take up to 60 seconds to watch. No way around it. There should be a payment option for an ad-free version. Until then, I’ll have to take it off my phone. ### 5/5 — Rip off *2023-08-30, version 2.01.02* I paid for no ads and continued to get more ads than I got before paying for no ads. It made playing the game an exercise in extreme frustration. I could not send a review because all the nick names were taken, until I gave a 5 star rating. I rate this game 0/5. ### 5/5 — Please Fix It *2023-05-06, version 2.01.02* I have been playing this game for years. I’m going off it because every time I get close to finishing a game it switches to an advert that doesn’t load and I’m left with a black screen —— end of game. If you are going to makes us watch ads, make them work so I can finish the game. ### 5/5 — Shop master *2023-03-06, version 2.01.02* Fun game but it always freezes up. ### 5/5 — Problems with game *2022-12-30, version 2.01.02* I paid for the game and now suddenly I get adds like I did not buy it. I wrote but no answer . It freezes regularly also. I wrote for this to but again no answer!! If I paid for the fame, why do I get adds? Please answer me ### 5/5 — A Real Challenge *2022-02-15, version 2.01.01* Fast paced, mind bending fun. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2021-09-05, version 2.01.01* This is a fun game which passes the time without too much effort ### 5/5 — Shop master *2021-08-09, version 2.01.01* Very good game improves your coordination ### 5/5 — Great game, has a bug *2021-07-15* Even though I upgraded to a newer release, seems there is a bug towards the end of the game when down to 4-6 pieces, the pieces sort of lock themselves on the bottom while being collected, and you can’t do anything. The timer keeps running though. ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-07-05, version 2.00.02* Keeps you alert and is satisfying when a level completed --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
