I had to delete it. It happened every time I played. I hope they fix it because I really enjoy the game. ### 2/5 — Ads wherever you look *2024-01-12, version 3.6.0* Couldn’t finish a single game without having nearly half a dozen ads thrown at me. Very disappointed as this developer is usually not so money hungry in their other games. Very disappointing cos actual game play was very fun. Deleted for the sheer amount of ads. ### 2/5 — Chews through your battery. Bad programming. *2023-10-14, version 3.6.0* Makes my iPhone 15 Pro turn hot and chew through battery… for an app with no demanding graphics that should not be the case. ### 3/5 — Uses battery like mad *2023-07-29, version 3.6.0* It’s a really fun game, so much so that I bought it and don’t regret doing so, but good God, does it drain the battery fast. I have several games of this ilk yet none of them draw power the way this one does. No clue why. ### 3/5 — Too many glitches *2023-06-10, version 3.6.0* I love this game…when it works. I used to play this all the time and then it had a glitch so bad that the game wouldn’t allow any moves. So I stopped playing it for a couple years, trying every once in a while to see if it was fixed. Finally it got fixed! I’ve been able to play for a couple months and now there’s a glitch that I literally have negative billions of coins. That’s right…negative. So I can no longer earn coins while playing, therefore I can’t ever switch out colors. Please fix the glitches!! It’s so much fun when it works! ### 2/5 — Battery Vacuum. *2023-04-24* It’s a fun game and all, don’t get me wrong, I’m nowhere near stopping, but if I play for more than a few minutes at a time, my phone starts to heat up significantly, more than any other app I have. Hot as one of those shake-to-activate little heat packs you’d carry around in the winter (way too hot to be healthy for an iphone is really the point). It drains my battery extremely quickly as well. Maybe the game is just poorly optimized? I’d love to have this issue resolved, however Zynga’s email designated for Merged support seems to be down or otherwise unreachable. I’d be 100% happy to change my review to 5 stars if it ever gets fixed, but until then, this is a big problem for me. ### 2/5 — Fun game but in-app purchase is broken *2023-01-26, version 3.6.0* App freezes on confirmation screen after purchase to remove ads. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2023-01-25, version 3.6.0* I like the game, it’s fun to play. However, it can be pretty glitchy and for some reason it’s a MASSIVE battery killer. An hour of playing took 36% off my iPad battery and its a new iPad with a good battery. Heats the device up, too. There’s absolutely no reason for a game this simple to cause this much hardware strain. ### 3/5 — Fun gameplay… eats battery tho *2022-10-27, version 3.6.0* I’ve got an iphone13 and this basic little game seems to make my phone hotter and eat way more battery than any app I’ve ever used. Fun game, but a ridiculous battery hog for such simple gameplay. ### 2/5 — Great game but *2022-08-22, version 3.5.0* Overheats my phone then drains the battery insanely fast! ### 1/5 — Good game but *2022-05-15, version 3.5.0* The ads make it unplayable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works right *2024-12-08, version 3.10.6* I played this years ago and redownloaded. For some reason now the game doesn’t register all merged correctly and will incorrectly consolidate some numbers leaving one out or missing a section entirely. It makes the more fun tougher parts less consistently achievable. Good concept and game but something bad happened in an update somewhere. ### 1/5 — Shameless Ad Support Added *2024-04-03, version 3.10.2* This game used to be fun and simple but not since they’ve added ads. Now the ad banner sloppily covers the main banner logo for the game. Not only that but the game lags out as ads rotate in and out (and I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro). ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2024-03-30, version 3.10.2* Had this game for ages. Today I go to open it. It crashes and won’t load. Deleted and readied the app ..same thing ### 1/5 — Was fun now sound keeps going on and out *2024-03-14, version 3.10.2* Have had this app for years. Today the sound started going out. If I close the app and restart it works for a few moves. But. Or sound is out. Support tells you to go to support page on the app. Where the heck is it? Maybe developers will see this. ### 1/5 — Best game but they do not improve it *2023-12-07, version 3.6.0* Please just upgrade this game. I have been playing it for ages. I love it. But it drains my battery and heats the phone. I cant tolarate anymore. ### 1/5 — Overheating *2023-11-01, version 3.6.0* I have had this app for a few years and have played on and off over the years. But lately it is causing my iPhone to seriously drain my battery and overheat. I’m going to have to uninstall and get a competitor version. ZYNGA - please address! ### 1/5 — PayPal *2023-06-10, version 3.6.0* Merged should have unlimited PayPal payouts ### 1/5 — HOT PHONE *2023-03-21, version 3.6.0* Super fun game, I’d buy it if not for this issue, my phone gets HOT while I play. Not on a charger at all. I have the iPhone 14 pro on low brightness and it gets HOT. Why??? Are you mining crypto in the background or what? ### 1/5 — it's a 4+ but won't let me play🙄 *2022-10-03, version 3.6.0* soooo. i go to put my age in 13-17 (i'm 17) and then tells me that my age has been like restricted in my country/region and can update in 23 hours. are you being fr rn? i just wanted to play a game but NOOO. i can't. ### 1/5 — Unplayable if you purchase remove ads *2022-09-13, version 3.6.0* I can no longer play this game. When I open the app it comes up with “Your purchase got approved and completed!” and that’s it. Doesn’t respond to me pushing the “okay” button, can’t exit it, can’t play. Message comes up and that’s the app. I’ve restarted my phone, deleted and redownloaded. Nothing works. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you)))) *2025-02-11, version 3.11.0* Oh no, thank you for the long 6 years, if it weren't for your game I would have missed you more, thank you for everything)))) ### 5/5 — Upsetting Really *2025-02-05, version 3.11.0* Fell in love with this game since the day my son pmo. So sad to hear it’s shutting down. ### 5/5 — All time favorite *2025-02-04, version 3.11.0* I’ve been playing this game for over ten years. I taught my child how to play. We will play it until it no longer works. ### 5/5 — I luv this game *2025-01-20, version 3.11.0* I love this game and I played it on my moms phone when u was little and please don’t shut this down i love this game too much ### 5/5 — Sad merged is shutting down *2025-01-01, version 3.11.0* Iam Sad merged is shutting down 😭🥺😢 ### 5/5 — Cool game but too many nostalgic noises *2025-01-01, version 3.11.0* This is a great game and it has a very cool graphics in it, but would’ve noticed is that sometimes the letters M disappear instead of exploding and what else I’ve noticed is that there are too many nostalgic noises and those noises haven’t yet changed but still it’s a modern design. ### 5/5 — Thank you and good bye :( *2024-12-21, version 3.11.0* I’ve played this game pretty regularly for YEARS and sad to get the notification about the game shutting down in March. I love playing it when watching shows or on a boring car ride. It’s the only game app I’ve consistently played and kept on my phone through the years. Thanks for creating this fun game, it made my number brain happy and I loved the strategy in it. I’ll continue to play for as long as I can :) ### 5/5 — Great for anxiety release *2024-04-05, version 3.10.2* I’ve had this game since 2016 and I’ve got to say it’s extremely helpful for stress relief and anxiety. I play this throughout the day and honestly you wouldn’t believe it but it’s actually pretty fun. Sadly recently I’ve been having trouble, it seems there’s been a bug recently since the update when I play it glitches and the sound cuts out but I can still play but obviously you want sound to work so I don’t know if this is just my game or it’s been happening to everyone please let me know. It only comes back on when I swipe up on the game and go back in. Would appreciate some support! ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-12-10, version 3.6.0* I love iggy also I’m too young you think I’m old 😡and I don’t like that so I love you ❤️ Also do you like tic tok and the YouTube better then this app💪🏼💄👄🦵🏽🖐🏼🤟🏼🤜✌🏽👃🏿👃🏿👃🏿👃🏿👃🏿👃🏼🦷👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼👀👀👀 ### 5/5 — Small and fun game *2021-11-12, version 3.0.0* I love it don’t like the other merge games but this is fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
