But the ads are a bit overkill compared to other games I enjoy. ### 3/5 — One Problem *2025-10-30, version 25.1028.00* You may wonder why only three stars if there’s only one problem? Well it’s a big problem for me! The game can only be played in portrait mode and I use my iPad almost exclusively in landscape mode so when I download games that can be only played in portrait mode I just delete them but only after I request that they make it playable in both modes and just an FYI that has only happened twice but I sure was grateful and continue to play those two games for 6 years now for 1 and 8 for the other one! So I’m asking … Dear developers could you please cater to both users and make the game playable in landscape mode along with your only option of portrait mode? Please! ### 4/5 — Prefer not to have a race with time *2025-01-15, version 24.1011.00* I like trying to figure out how to get the most points without being rushed to race the rows being added. I would like it better if it wasn’t a race with time. ### 2/5 — Unknown error *2024-08-11, version 24.0717.00* Keeps coming up with unknown error . Have tried to reset . This means I cannot get all my rewards ### 2/5 — Boosters not available *2024-08-04, version 24.0717.00* On the main game, the boosters are not available this sort of defeats the purpose of earning them. ### 1/5 — Greedy!!!! *2024-07-21, version 24.0717.00* They took away the ability to watch more that 5 adds in a day to get coins in a greedy attempt to force you to make purchases. Don’t get this “free” game! ### 2/5 — Addictive *2024-06-12, version 24.0508.00* It is fun and addictive. The only thing I don’t like is that if you want extra bombs or scissors, you need to spend real cash as well as your coins. ### 3/5 — Where are the coins I win when playing the game? *2024-06-01, version 24.0508.00* For some reason every time I play this game my winning coins do not show up. I cannot afford to buy coins from your store. Please fix this issue or explain yourself. Thanks. Or maybe not. ### 4/5 — Too much ads! *2024-05-10, version 24.0508.00* This game has too much ads but it’s still so fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crappier *2026-05-10, version 2604.0.4* Give me back the old game! ### 1/5 — Only get reward to cut *2026-05-03, version 2604.0.4* Not getting all rewards ### 1/5 — Stuck *2025-05-12, version 25.0408.00* Stuck on a paylocity ad Had to restart the app ### 1/5 — A little too fast *2025-05-05, version 25.0408.00* Great game but it feels like the timer just gets faster and faster like I need time to think its just like I start out doing good and then I blink and BAM no room to move anything and then its just like “your minds growing” it feels like its shrinking. wow I really said like too much. but anyway, great game just my mind has no time to think and its VERY annoying. Edit: I have deleted this game 3 times and I have decided I hate this game. To Whoever Invented The Three Or More Blocks Connected: I hate you so much. I would rate 0 stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Hey let’s watch some ads. *2025-04-04, version 25.0325.00* I have had this game for years, but recently they’ve added many ads. Merge one number and watch an ad. SMH and deleting ### 1/5 — 不正な広告 *2025-01-01* ゲームは面白いのですが､レバテック　キャリアという転職関連？の広告が出てきて､閉じるためのボタンも残り時間も一切表示されず､ゲームに戻ることができません。名前､生年月日､電話番号の入力を要求されたのでデタラメを入力して画面を遷移させてみましたが､利用規約に同意して登録しろという表示が出てきたのでアプリを閉じました。ゲーム自体は面白いし、アプリ開発側のせいではないと思いますが、流石にこんな広告がまた出てきたらと思うとやりたくなくなります。他のゲームではこのような不快な広告は出たことがないです。 **Developer response:** こんにちは、 遅延した返信と広告の問題について、心よりお詫び申し上げます。ゲームの改善と問題の調査を進めるために、可能であれば、詳細とスクリーンショットを添えて、公式のゲーム内チャットを通じてご連絡いただけますか？ 広告情報を提供いただければ、さらにサポートさせていただきます。 報告いただきありがとうございます！ ### 1/5 — It’s okay🤥 *2024-12-22, version 24.1011.00* It’s really fun to play if you love match games but there’s something that really annoys me. That thing is that when I always press on something that says they’ll give me a ad and they give me something big for example maybe a timer or a gift they say that the video is not ready because I don’t think they want to go to get it so it’s a scam🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤥. If you want to get scam then download it ### 1/5 — Stuck adds *2024-10-31, version 24.1011.00* We already have to deal with adds … now when the adds come on they just stay stuck and never go back to the game.. you have to then start over . ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-10-12, version 24.0911.00* Buy no ads and STILL have to watch ads ### 1/5 — I don’t like *2024-08-18, version 24.0717.00* …because I lose time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Made a 20 *2026-05-08, version 2604.0.4* I have 88 coins after i got a 20 ### 5/5 — Great on phone, bad on tablet *2026-02-03, version 25.1124.00* I love this game, but stinks on tablet, better on phone ### 5/5 — Ella Bella *2025-05-10, version 25.0408.00* Hi I 🤔 that you Dr Drop the age group down so they can do that so like if they put 2 over 5 they would ask you what is 2+ 5 you would have to answer ### 5/5 — Fantastic number merge *2025-04-05, version 25.0325.00* It is a fun game to play letting the time pass ### 5/5 — ADS *2024-12-05, version 24.1011.00* Too many. Wish I could pay a fee to remove ads. ### 5/5 — Merge Block: star Finders *2024-11-14, version 24.1011.00* Les chiffres n’apparaissent pas, le jeu est bloqué. POURQUOI ? ### 5/5 — Merge Block *2024-10-20, version 24.1011.00* Perfect game after a stressful day. Really good to unwind. ### 5/5 — This game is the best *2024-04-21, version 24.0418.00* Amazing ### 5/5 — Gigi *2024-04-03, version 24.0312.02* This game is ridiculously add ictive to me and I find myself switching between phone and iPad just to have instant gratification during ads! I love it and have to force myself to stop so I can complete my daily tasks. Only complaint I have is when it won’t let me choose the 3-line option in lieu of the 5-line option when Ithe don’t have enough coins for the 5-line. It doesn’t freeze it only allows the option for the 5 and then I have to purchase more coins to continue or turn machine off and on to reset. ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu mais… *2024-03-21* Le jeu est cool et très addictif ! Mes amis me voyant jouer, ont eux aussi été absorbés par Merge Block ! En revanche, l’absence d’un classement mondial est triste. Pouvoir connaître le score d’autres personnes pour avoir un peu de compétition rajouterait encore plus de « peps » à mon jeux favori ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
