Latest version poor

Latest update is buggy as heck. It keeps closing on me and I lose lives

Nice Variety

I really enjoy this game. I like the combination of things to do and they give a lot of rewards. You can play for a good amount of time, especially if you keep passing the boards and join a team. You don’t have to spend money to keep playing.

Another con

Like this game, but again it’s nothing like the advert claims. Very rarely get a room do over challenge to play.

Crashes too much

Fun game but I’d had it for less than a day and it crashes within the first few minutes every time. Often can’t even get through one game without the crash and then starting over.

It’s ok

I’ve been playing for a few months and what was challenging at first is starting to become monotonous. You can play for free but getting to new levels takes too long and in app purchases are expensive. And it’s not easy to accumulate diamonds to play unless you do purchase them. But most of all the game is NOTHING like the ad that pops up in other games. There is no destitute mother and child. And the match game is not the same as shown in the ad.
