Also every time your screen locks or you answer a text, etc. it’s another ad. And the ads are for games I already have 🙄 ### 4/5 — Please fix bugs *2024-05-22, version 3.6* Addicted to this game but please fix bugs! ### 4/5 — Rating the game! *2024-02-16, version 3.6* It needs to be faster and tougher ### 4/5 — Love this game but huge bug *2023-06-02, version 3.6* I love this game! On the first continue pop up, it says continue by and ad or 1 gem. Proceed to press the gem option and it takes 10 gems. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Ads are inappropriate *2022-11-30, version 3.6* For a game that could be for kids the ads are disgusting ### 4/5 — . *2022-10-20, version 3.6* Все бы хорошо, но не работают видео для получения дополнительных бонусов. ### 3/5 — Good fun *2022-04-07, version 3.5* Love it, just two issues. Firstly, the constant intrusion of asking if I want a video in return of removing a block and secondly, and it may just be me, but the grid suddenly becomes very difficult, rather than building up to it. ### 4/5 — 넘어려버뇽 *2021-11-07* 20어캐만들죠? 진짜 화남 하 .. 중독성 에바티비요 ㅜ ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2020-06-22, version 3.0* Sick and tired of this game blacking out and turning unplayable after an ad plays. Every freakin time. ### 3/5 — Glitching *2020-06-09, version 3.0* Had to delete cause it kept glitching after ads ### 2/5 — Too expensive & dark theme pls *2020-05-21, version 3.0* Hi, I can’t use this its too expensive for a puzzle, others don’t ask subscription £££. Also, please give a dark theme option so that migraine and cluster headaches sufferers have a chance. If these two features are implemented I will be able to play, otherwise - no chance. ### 3/5 — Почему *2020-05-19, version 3.0* Игра начала вылетать после показа рекламы( ### 2/5 — Оптимизация отсутсвует. *2020-03-22, version 3.0* После обновления приложения, стало очень сильно тормозить! Невозможно просто играть стало, до обновления всё работало плавно и стабильно. iPhone 6 (да железо старое, но для такой простой игры даже калькулятор подойдёт). Ещё один минус и довольно большой. Игра как будто специально загоняет тебя в проигрыш, даже когда уже нет вариантов, видимо для того чтобы пользовались рекламой и кристалликами - но грамотный донат так не работает. Игра не должна усложняться из-за этого насильно, донат должен работать как вспомогательно. Идея игры хорошая, но реализация очень хромает. Добра! ### 4/5 — Schwarzer Bildschirm *2020-03-21, version 3.0* Nach dem letzten Update kommt nach der Werbung nur schwarzer Bildschirm. Ärgerlich, bitte beheben ### 3/5 — Addictive and impossible *2020-02-27, version 2.6.2* The game becomes impossible when you get tiles higher than 12... the low tiles still appear. Ive gotten 14/15, but when tiles “1” or “2” keep appearing it makes it impossible to continue the game. Similar games drop low tiles once you are past certain level (hint hint) ### 4/5 — Great but... *2020-02-02, version 2.6.2* Love this game! However, it offers a free hammer if you watch a video. I never get a video to watch! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2020-01-28, version 2.6.2* I paid the $3.99 to remove the ads but the ads are still there. I love the game but the ads are infuriating! I would not recommend this game to others for that reason! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m done *2025-01-07, version 3.6* WTH happened to dark mode? I can’t play this game anymore. It’s too bright ### 1/5 — DO NOT use this app - offensive ads *2023-08-05, version 3.6* This app just started showing pronographic ads. No appropriate for anyone! ### 1/5 — Inappropriate add *2021-05-02* I originally bought this game for my young son to learn simple addition and strategy. I actually enjoyed playing it myself! However the ads pop up anytime the game gets interrupted, which I get it... upgrade the game. I was actually about to do just that, but then a completely inappropriate ad popped up- I would have been mortified if my son had been playing it at the time and I now need to go do damage control in case one did pop up for him while he was playing. What the heck?? I totally get having ads, but this was unnecessary. Boo. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2021-01-10, version 3.2* Refund please. Paid to remove ads, continue to see them, as well as, constantly prompted to purchase and advertise other products. ### 1/5 — This game is fun but it’s a scam *2020-09-21, version 3.0* I get all the way up to 199.81 and the it stops giving me money when I’m almost up to 200.00, this is a scam!!! ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-04-09, version 3.0* The ‘hammer pop-up’ is the most incredibly annoying thing, it put me off the game. Also, compare to other similar apps there are mostly additions here rather than subtractions, which makes this pretty dull and repetitive. The icing on the cake was when i got stuck and accepted to watch a video to ‘revive’ and still reset the game to 0 anyway, plus it froze the app so decided to uninstall. Not recommended ### 1/5 — Won’t remove ads *2020-03-14, version 2.6.2* Keeps showing ads after I paid to remove them. ### 1/5 — How come I can’t get back to the level I was on *2020-02-10, version 2.6.2* I have to start over cuz I updated the app This is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Do not purchase this game *2020-02-01, version 2.6.2* I bought the version with no ads. It worked fine on all my devices till I decided to buy a new iPhone and IPad!! I tried to restore the purchase and I have been able won’t to contact the developer!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad ads *2020-01-22, version 2.6.2* From 2 week ago, only "Baemin" ads is viewed, there was no other movie for "revive" until now. Why????? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yessss *2024-07-27, version 3.6* Je suis très contente de retrouver ce jeu.genial ### 5/5 — Wildbill0303 *2020-05-07, version 3.0* I like the game because it will make you think ### 5/5 — Thacyou *2020-02-17, version 2.6.2* By Zoey To the game crater ### 5/5 — Güzel bir oyun *2020-01-24, version 2.6.2* Evet beyin için süper ### 5/5 — Disgraceful *2020-01-21* The way this fun game is operated is disgraceful! Shame on you! I paid to remove ads but no ads removed. I tried to contact app support. It freezes up my internet. I tried to leave a review with one star but over I was told that over 50 names were already taken, even this one! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. So therefore, o am leaving a five star review just to try and warn everyone and then I will delete the app. This is really too bad because it is such a fun game! I will make sure I will not use anymore WhatsApps. ### 5/5 — Merge *2019-10-31, version 2.6.1* This game is so addictive but in a nice way I only wish I was better at it ### 5/5 — JL *2019-10-12, version 2.6.1* Very good game that’s keeping my mind sharp!! ### 5/5 — Lvick *2019-06-09, version 2.6* Fun game ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-06-07, version 2.6* Great game ### 5/5 — Lots of fun but paid for upgrade which didn’t load *2019-06-02, version 2.6* This game is fun and challenging but too many ads. I paid $3.99 for the No Ad upgrade and it didn’t load. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
