No way to report. I would never pay to play this game. It’s unreliable. Probably time to remove from App Store. ### 2/5 — Makers got way too money-hungry *2017-12-08, version 2.2.15* Love the game, but it’s just ridiculous how greedy the makers got with this one. You have to watch commercials to play every single game, or wait 10mins before playing a game (which lasts 60sec), or pay cash for every bonus without which you cannot advance in the game. I would be fine with playing free trial and then purchasing full version, like in most games. This one here is just not enjoyable. Deleting. ### 2/5 — Usual play, expensive bonuses *2017-10-16, version 2.2.15* While this has the play I know and love from the Montezuma games, being awarded bonuses just to have to pay real cash to use them feels like a cheat. You can't advance too far without the bonuses so if you don't pay, you're stuck. I prefer the original games where you earned stars to buy the totems and bonuses ONCE and that was it. No way am I shelling out cash just to make the game easier. ### 3/5 — Sloooooow *2016-02-28, version 2.2.15* Really liked this game though I hadn't played for a while. Thought I'd play a few but am finding the whole game seriously unresponsive and slow. Haven't had problems with other games including bejewelled, another match3 game, and I'm running latest OS on iPad3. Not sure if it's the latest update, their server or what but it's frustrating. :( ### 1/5 — Terrible Flaws *2015-12-31, version 2.2.15* Please fix this so it quits freezing at Progress Syncing!!! I can't ever play anymore 😂 ### 4/5 — Addictive *2015-07-21, version 2.2.8* Excellent match three game that is sometimes too challenging with completion of a challenge waiting for a luckier day. ### 2/5 — Earning power ups watching videos. *2015-04-29, version 2.0.10* I lost 440 points when, for the umpteenth time, I boosted green with 400 for super boost and 40 for red. Want to earn more by watching a video? Sure. It either freezes up or takes me thru video, then freezes and takes my points when I have to start over the game. Been playing this fast paced, fun game a year or more. Fix is needed here. And I want my points returned. Also, some of the levels are almost impossible to accomplish, using power ups or not. Let's be realistic! Rating very low till fixes are in place. ### 2/5 — Starting to be disappointed.... *2015-04-04, version 2.0.10* I really like this game but am disappointed with the glitches, after watching a video to get a free totem the game freezes and I lose the totem. Also while doing a task event I'm not getting any gems for completing tasks. ### 3/5 — Montezuma Blitz *2015-01-19, version 1.4.0* Game is fun but you have too many ads which appear on top of the game and cannot be closed. You can't play when the game is covered up. ### 1/5 — Disaster! *2015-01-17, version 1.4.0* There are so many negative issues with this game that I honestly don't know where to start. First of all, ads for other games pop up and block the screen so I can't even play my time bonus without resetting my iPad each time. Second, you can't get ANYWHERE in this game without spending money, or being asked to spend money. This game, in short, is all about ads and rip offs. Try something else. This one is ready for the garbage can!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Montezuma Blitz ### What is Montezuma Blitz?
