### 3/5 — fun at first but…

*2022-12-11, version 4.6.0*

so this game is just like all of the other merge games. barely any ads at first, easy to play, fun when you have nothing to do. it’s simple and entertaining, but it gets irritating after a while. 
the farther you progress in the game, the more ads you get. i set a timer for 5 minutes and counted how many ads i got within those minutes. in the end, there were 6 ads. that’s one ad per minute + 1 right after another. it’s even more irritating because the ads aren’t exactly random. if you leave your phone on this game without touching it once, you won’t get any ads because the ads automatically play whenever you press a button. literally every single time i press the shop button, an ad plays. it’s so frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of the quick, entertaining game that you initially download it for. also, this game takes up a stupid amount of space. 
it’s fun if you play it while doing something else, but ultimately horrible when you just want to sit down and play an easy game. 3 stars because it’s kinda fun and i like the colors, but oh my god, you don’t need to advertise dragon merge this much.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-07-03, version 4.5.1*

I think the game is good! The only problem is that when you get to level 20, you can restart, and then you keep your achievements but also get a couple new ones. So when you discover more gems, it goes toward the achievement you had before you restarted. But it also gives you a new achievement, but it’s pointless, because all the gems you discover goes toward the old achievement, so it makes the game easier. It’s just confusing, really. Other than that, I think it’s great!

### 5/5 — Best game I have ever played

*2022-04-15, version 4.5.1*

This game is satisfying and entertaining and there are so many different ways to play it. The noise it makes whenever you merge anything is so satisfying but with the music is just a master piece. There is also so many different ways play ounce you get to about level ten you have a option to start in a new world and five levels later you have another option.

### 4/5 — Ok game😕

*2022-03-20, version 4.3.0*

This game is so addicting and so much fun but there  are so many bad things there are a lot of ads and it is annoying that every single time whenever I try to go to a new world, there is a ad! Another thing is the boxes do not upgrade and it takes forever to make a new discovery. The last thing is that they should make an amethyst, I think it will and in more gems. A wonderful game, I hope you can add in my suggestions. Thank you 😊

### 5/5 — Merge gems saved my life.

*2022-01-02, version 4.3.0*

I was in a very dark place in my life before I found this game. Recently I will sit in my room for hours on end just playing this game. It is very mentally engaging. The colors of the gems are so pretty as are the shapes. Let me tell you, one faithful day I was strongly considering ending it all. Then I saw the advertisement for this app and I broke down crying. I dropped my phone then picked in back up and kissed the ground it had touched. It saved me. I owe everything to this game. Game if you are reading this I am forever in your debt- Keto, calamari and killing my offspring.

### 4/5 — Great but the ads are placed at wrong times

*2021-05-19, version 3.5.2*

You know there’s a shop you can buy gems right well every time I try to buy one there’s a ad that pops up and then after the ad it shows me the gems I can buy like silver and other things ,well since the ad was playing the boxes take up the spots and make my space full and when the ads gone I can’t buy the gems since it is full of boxes and then I clear it up the same thing happens again so basically I can’t buy gems without an ad

### 5/5 — Too many ads

*2021-04-10, version 3.5.2*

I love this game it is so fun and I love all the beautiful gems but then the ADS!!! There are just too many ads! Every time I try to go in the shop and buy something there is an ad!!! Then when it’s done it says full then I try to go in the shop again and THERE WAS ANOTHER STUPID AD!!!!!!!!!!!! And again and again until on my 23rd try there was no ad and I was so happy but still WAY TOO MANY ADS please fix that.🥺

### 4/5 — Very good

*2021-02-22, version 3.5.2*

I have given this game a 4 star because it is very good in all there is a lot of gems with different lands there is one issue though, I can’t buy any in app purchases it says the purchases are “0” I tried to get one of the limited purchases and it said an error message which is very disappointing and frustrating I’ve tried multiple things multiple times and it still says that same error message please fix that
My suggestions are: please make the levels go up to 50 and unlock a new land at level 30/35 my suggestion is “candy land” (its the best one I could think of) and please add a few more gems to each land I would say 5 more to each land is sensible and please fix the date and time glitch.
Thank you.

### 3/5 — Great, but there is something i hate

*2020-12-26, version 3.5.0*

This is a great game and I do enjoy playing it, but there is one thing that I don’t like: the mystery boxes. They give you things that you didn’t earn by merging and when you don’t want them they kind of invade the space on the board. The make the game very hard to enjoy. I do still love this game, but I would like if you could add the option to disable mystery boxes. That way the people who like them can keep them, and the people who don’t can disable them. If you add that, I will update my rating to 5 stars and will be able to enjoy the game again. Thank you for reading this, and please fix this soon.

### 5/5 — Awesome game love it 😍

*2020-11-11, version 3.5.0*

Merge gems 💎 is a great time killer and everyone that thinks that this is a problem give merge gems a second chance a couple months or years ago I downloaded merge gems and a couple weeks or months later I deleted it because I had no room on my iPad than I downloaded it again cause it was very fun there is no problems except whenever I go into the shop 
there’s an ad and when I exit the ad my board is full so that’s the only problem please fix that I want to buy my gems and also this game is amazing whoever is reading this review pls download merge gems and developers pls fix that problem thanks again for the awesome game and have a good day 🙂
