Every time there is an ad the game freezes and you have to restart. So for the extras where you are watching an ad to earn a reward it doesn’t track. ### 3/5 — Lots of bugs and ads *2023-12-24, version 2.4.3* I just started playing and most of the ads cause everything to freeze and there are way too many ads. ### 3/5 — Wish they would fix bugs. *2023-06-03* I love this game and have been playing it nonstop for about two weeks now. There are many bugs that need to be fixed. I have a level 7 fridge that has stopped producing ice so now I am stuck with only one, as it is too high of a level to duplicate with the mirror tool found from chests. The energy bottles that gives you free energy for a certain amount of time, do not work. You have to reload the app at least three times for a CHANCE of them working and still majority of the time they do not. If you are merging too fast the item disappears from sight but is still on your board in a random spot that you can not see. I’m writing this as a fruitless way of begging the creators to take a look at their game, but I have not seen one creator response to any review, so hopefully mine will get your attention :) ### 3/5 — Great, but… *2022-10-18* So I’ve been playing the game for a few weeks. I’ll start with the pros: - Fun, instinctual, mindless game that’s easy to play - You can recharge as many times as you want as long as you watch an ad - Enough variety of items to keep the game interesting for a long time Cons: - It’s way too expensive to purchase extra slots to hold extra items. It starts at 5 diamonds and then by the 8th slot it’s 110?? I even bought the starter pack to remove the ads and to have some diamonds, and they were gone within 10 seconds. Not worth the cost. - Still glitchy. I tried using a power drink that I got for free (unlimited power for 15 minutes) but since I activated it after I had 0 power left, it still kept asking me if I wanted to watch an ad or buy it. It wasn’t until after I watched an ad that my unlimited power worked. By that time, I lost a few minutes. Same thing happened with a 3 minute … battery? Whatever it is. I only had 1 minute of unlimited power (after restarting the app and watching the ad). Very frustrating - You should be able to delete anything you don’t want on your board. I have like 5 teapots that I have no use for. Why force me to take up space on my board and/or purchase spots with a ridiculous diamond price? I’ll still play it for a while… but if the glitches keep happening I’m over it. ### 3/5 — I would’ve rated higher but *2022-05-30* I had fun playing this game for a while but I’m level 31 and I haven’t been able to get the teapot. I don’t know how to fill the tea orders and now it’s gotten to a point where all of my orders have tea in it. I looked up online to see if anyone else was having this issue and there’s a lot of people having it as well. One solution was that there was a teapot to buy in the store but I don’t have that anywhere in my store. Someone else said to update your app and it’ll appear in your store but my app is already always up to date. So now I’m stuck and if this problem continues I will uninstall it because I cannot proceed and it’s annoying. PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 3/5 — Nice game, but very buggy *2022-05-04, version 2.4.3* Initially the game was working great and was very fun, but now the shop doesn’t work anymore and neither does unlimited energy. It makes it a bit frustrating when playing. ### 2/5 — Not Letting Me Move On *2022-05-03, version 2.4.3* It was fun at first but then after I finished the first room, it still won’t let me move onto a second room. I finished the first and just nothing. Really frustrating. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2022-04-04, version 2.4.2* I was enjoying playing this in my free time. Yesterday it updated, and now every time I open the game it says it needs to update. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but it still shows the same message. It also has too many ads. ### 3/5 — Please update application *2022-04-03, version 2.4.2* I keep getting please update application … update needed But when I go to update it just says open and it’s a vicious circle. I even deleted and reinstalled and still the same thing. By the way if I lost all my progress can you fix that too. ### 3/5 — CANNOT PLAY ANYMORE!!! *2022-04-02, version 2.4.2* Just started this game and it’s a good merge one BUT it doesn’t work anymore… tells you the game needs an update but the App Store page just has the ‘open’ button ### 2/5 — So mad! *2022-04-02, version 2.4.2* It’s says I need and update but it won’t update and I lost all of my work. ### 2/5 — Unable to Update *2022-04-01, version 2.4.2* I would give 5 stars, due to being unable update. I will try again. I deleted it as I was not getting anywhere , just seeing an icon showing it was updating repeatedly and took too long. I couldn’t at the time even give a review, until now. Wanted this to be fixed. Hence deleting. I enjoyed playing and hope when I download this game, I don’t have the problem. I believe I will have to start over. Please fix the update. ### 2/5 — Bug *2022-03-17, version 2.4.2* This is the only game I play and I spend so much time playing it but I’m stuck at level 42 and can’t level up. My points are in the negatives and even once I got my points back to positive I don’t level up or get a chest :( please fix ### 2/5 — Will not unlock the next room which is room 5 *2022-02-24, version 2.4.2* I am on level 16 and cannot continue to the next room ### 2/5 — Unplayable Due To Excessive Adverts *2022-01-30, version 2.4.2* This could have been one of the better merge games however due to the excessive amount of adverts I’m either forced to watch or pay to go advert free the game is basically unplayable. I don’t like being forced in to paying for a game I like to make my own decision on what I do and don’t pay for but this game has that much advertising in it that if you want to play it properly you have to pay to go advert free which is a pity as it could have been a great game. ### 2/5 — Gets boring !!!! 700 + points to make level 8 cake *2022-01-29, version 2.4.2* The level 8 cake gave me a stairs railing to a spiral stairs. There is no story line. I have donuts coming out my ears. (9. Boxes) And the game doesn’t let me sell them. I liked it but now I hate it. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2022-01-16, version 2.4.2* Would be a great merge game were it not for the incessant ads which pop up randomly while you are playing. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2022-01-14, version 2.4.2* Same complaint. Level 42 and I can’t merge any two same levels to complete the order. Also my stars collected are whack and not showing properly too… please fix!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No App Support *2023-08-14, version 2.4.3* Don’t even bother trying to play this game. My board is full of tea pots I can get rid of. I have tried to contact support but they don’t even respond. ### 1/5 — Screen *2022-06-04, version 2.4.3* Why not full screen ### 1/5 — Was fun but can’t unlock room 3 *2022-06-04, version 2.4.3* Was a good game to pass the time but I’ve done everything in room 2 and the next room won’t unlock. Big waste of time. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2022-04-11, version 2.4.3* It was fun at first but getting adds every two minutes is not. I’m deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Update *2022-04-04, version 2.4.3* I was on level 42 and they said I need to update the game. So I finally after about a week got the update button on the app. Well I updated and was put back at level 1 this is not cool. Guess they r just trying to get people to quit playing there game if they can’t manage it correctly. ### 1/5 — Deleted *2022-04-04, version 2.4.2* I’ve been playing this game for a long time now. My main problem with this game was that once the first room was fully decorated a new one wouldn’t open. But I kept playing anyway. I wrote a review asking for help but instead of help, the game fully crashed and I lost everything I’ve accomplished. In the end, the app wouldn’t even open. So I deleted it. Thanks for not helping. If I could give zero stars if would but I have no choice but to give one at least. You guys need to work on your app and on customer support. ### 1/5 — App *2022-04-03, version 2.4.2* The game won’t load it tells me to update the app but there is no update. I’ve updated phone and tried restarting still nothing. Loved the game until now. Fix the issue and rating will change ### 1/5 — 🤷🏼‍♀️so disappointed! *2022-04-03, version 2.4.2* Game won’t load and just keeps saying I need to update application. There are no further updates available and I don’t want to start again and lose my progress. Please fix! ### 1/5 — App won’t update *2022-04-02, version 2.4.2* I liked the game even if the images were so tiny I couldn’t figure out what some of them were. I can’t play this game anymore because ii needs to be updated. The update doesn’t work. I restarted, deleted and reinstalled the app but nothing. ### 1/5 — Ads upon ads upon ads *2022-03-29, version 2.4.2* Don’t bother with this one. It’s nothing but ads. By the time you’ve used 100 energy points, you’ll be interrupted by ads 5-6 times. The ad to gameplay ratio is absurd. It’s literally an ad every 15-20 clicks. It’s a shame, because the gameplay seems to be okay. There are much better merge games out there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2022-11-18, version 2.4.3* This game is so fun to play when your bored, it helped me like when I was sad, and also on long road trips or waiting in line or just waiting for something 😄😄😄 ### 5/5 — Merge Barista *2022-01-02, version 2.4.1* It is addictive ### 5/5 — The new update is great *2021-12-15, version 2.4.1* The new update fixed the bugs in the game. I'm really happy that I can merge to the highest levels. Thank you for fixing it. ### 5/5 — Crepe not merging *2021-12-13, version 2.4* I am having the same issue as another user. I can no longer progress in the game because the final crepe stage will not merge. Very disappointing ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-11-21, version 2.3* It’s my favorite game so far. But… to move forward, I need a tea, and there is none… plz fix it. Thanks. I really don’t want to delete it ### 5/5 — Unlimited Energy! *2021-11-18* This is my favorite merge game just for the fact you can watch ads for free energy (and to speed up recharging)so you don’t ever have to stop if you don’t want to. It’s also enjoyable game play and fun sound effects, overall great experience! ### 5/5 — This game is great *2021-08-15, version 1.2* I can play as long or as little as I want and never run out of energy…thank you for creating a game that doesn’t turn into a job to play. ### 5/5 — Loooove *2021-08-10, version 1.2* i have a whole folder of merge games and while i beat all the levels in this one first, this has been my favorite to play. very fast gameplay and i love how there’s no limit on energy and the generators. please make more levels!! ### 4/5 — Not great yet *2022-02-09* I really wanted to give a higher rating to this game so I played it for about a week. It has some bugs that can be annoying. It has sooooo many ads and they often freeze. The game also freezes by itself from time to time. I reinstalled but didn’t fix it. I was going to pay to remove ads but based on other reviews and my own experience I am going to hold off to see how developers respond to all the feedback they have. ### 4/5 — fun n stuff but… *2022-01-10, version 2.4.2* Parts of this game are just a tad bit too hard --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
