If this is an upcoming update planed or something, could you please label it as ‘coming soon’ or something as this feels and looks like a really glitchy bug and if there are more levels, I would love to play them. For this reason I have deducted a star. **Developer response:** Please contact support@budgestudios.ca for more information. We would be happy to help! ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-10-20* I think this is a very fun game in this game. You get to use coins and gems and buy PocketPonies and defeat villains. You get to aim and then you shoot balls at the villains to try to defeat them. This game gives you a goal you have to try to Accomplish and it’s fun, but sometimes gets frustrating when you can’t beat a level the levels get harder some are easy and some are very hard so you just can’t give up You can get this game on any device. It is kid friendly, and a good game if you like My Little Pony and screen time and a good challenge I recommend getting this game ### 2/5 — Can’t play it *2024-10-09* I know this is a bit of an older game, but a few years back when I downloaded it I got pretty far on the game. When I went to play it on a different device after downloading, all my progress was there but whenever I went to talk to a pony to progress the dialogue wouldn’t show up and ultimately wouldn’t let me play. I ended up just resetting the game and trying again. Tho a bit annoying, it worked and I was able to play up until I got to the outside part. That was when I stopped playing and went to bed. A couple days later when I went to play again, all I was met with a pixel-y screen of my character in a walking position in one of the rooms. One that I was also not in before hand when I turned it off. I thought it was just a glitch so I restarted it and still, I was met with the same thing after clicking the play button. I did that abt 10 times till I gave up. I went to play a different game and came back a while later with no result. I am very saddened by this bc this has to be one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played and is one of my all time favourite. Pls help me with this, thank you 💗 ### 4/5 — Bugs *2024-08-02* I’ve saved up 45 gems, hoping too buy a pony, long story short it doesn’t work. I’ve pressed the button multiple times, it will not buy. Please fix this. **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information about this! ### 4/5 — Needs more maps *2024-07-25* The game is enjoyable, but it's clear that it needs more variety. The last new map was introduced five years ago, so adding two more maps would be a great update. An endless mode where players can choose their starting stage would be fantastic, especially for pro players who don't want to begin from scratch each time. For the new maps, a fashion salon would be a fun addition, with Rarity as the final challenge. Additionally, a library map featuring Twilight Sparkle as the ultimate pony would be a perfect fit. These updates would add excitement and variety, enhancing the overall experience. ### 3/5 — Amazing game but… *2024-03-02* This game is great! But I’ve been having trouble with the challenges as they get too hard so early into the game and I’m kind of mad that I think every pony in the mane 6 has a pocket pony of every rarity while rarity only has 3 rares because I really wanted to collect a rarity as a common, rare, ultra rare, and legendary :( Edit: it’s also been ages since the update with fluttershy and there’s still no update to include rarity’s challenge and plus not even any new pocket ponies to collect? ### 4/5 — New update needed *2024-02-02* it’s a great game, but it’s been 2 years since the last update and i’m still waiting for the new area!! ### 3/5 — Too fast *2024-01-22* I played this for a day but I can't get past rainbow dash's one because the clock is too fast if you could get rid of the clock or slow it down that would be better ### 4/5 — Um… what? *2023-11-02* So basically, this is a good game all in all, very addictive, but unfortunately I have a complaint. The other day I reset my game because I didn’t like my character and now she’s back! How? I better get a reply **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information about this! ### 5/5 — In love ❤️😍 *2023-06-27* I love this game and I JUST downloaded it TODAY I haven’t check if it’s off-line yet, but I’m pretty sure it isThis is great because at the end of July I’m gonna be going to Pensacola or something and this might be a long trip, so I’ll have this game to play on the way there. I am literally so much older than when I was younger and I loved my little pony but I still do because all these my little pony games they’re awesome You should totally download this app But there is one problem I am only a beginner, and these levels areHard and I’m only on the second level but it is pretty fun. I hope this helps you goodbye. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-06-17* So I LOVE this game as a mop fan, but after I finished the game, there wasn’t really much to do after that so I think it would be cool if there was a new place ### 5/5 — Update version *2023-05-27* Hello, can you please update the version, history says that it’s been a year since an update has been performed. My five year old daughter is waiting to play. We already emailed to ask for support on the glitch that prevents you from ever entering the game please update. Thanks ### 4/5 — Update Please *2023-05-09* I found this game awhile ago and it is my favourite of the bubble-type games. I think it’s a perfect mix of story and game play. Some levels were a bit difficult but I enjoyed that. I would love it if the producers could make more levels, I need more content to keep playing this amazing game. The only thing is that I cannot play background music from another app while playing, otherwise this would be 5 stars. Are there more levels coming? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Please contact support@budgestudios.ca to submit a suggestion. We are always happy to hear your ideas! ### 2/5 — What the *2023-04-17* My daughter keeps complaining that she cant pass level 13 she has been really 😞 **Developer response:** Please contact support@budgestudios.ca for more information. We would be happy to help! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I act used to grind on this like never before *2024-09-03* But now when you first start the game and talk to twilight no dialogue shows up and nothing else happens can’t even click away. I’ve had this issue across multiple devices plz fix ### 1/5 — Not fun with money *2024-03-30* Why is it that this exact game is on my Amazon tablet that requires coins earned in the game to buy ponies and this app on Apple requires me to purchase gems to open ponies. It takes the fun out of it. Boo ### 1/5 — BUYER BEWARE. *2024-03-06* If you put this game on a second device, your data will be wiped from the first. If you buy gems and spend it on ponies, your ponies will be lost. Contacting Budge support will NOT rectify the issue as the “promo code” system they have in place to make customers whole is also not working. Budge support will only offer you promo codes for different games. Asking for a refund through Apple will also not rectify the issue as the refund requests will be denied. DO NOT BUY GEMS IN THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — Literally unplayable *2023-11-09* I loved this game so much I decided to download it on my phone as well as my iPad, which was apparently a mistake. As soon as adding it to my phone, it wouldn’t work on my phone, and when I went back to play it on my iPad, the same thing happened. I guess it got confused on where I was in the game because of being downloaded twice by the same Apple account. I’ve never had a problem like this for other mobile games. As soon as I click on the location on the map I want to go, my character can walk but there’s no more home or settings buttons, and if I try to interact with anything the fake freezes. I’ve tried deleting it and redownloading it several times, but nothing works. I really enjoyed this game until it stopped working completely. **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information about this! ### 1/5 — It’s ok. *2023-07-22* I like the overall concept, but the levels are a bit too hard. I had to quit because I got too frustrated with the hard levels. It’s a good game, but can you make the levels a bit easier? Otherwise, if the levels are easier, and that it doesn’t make me too angry because I should have won, but it doesn’t say I won, it would be at least a 3 ⭐️. ### 1/5 — Going back to old data *2023-03-10* When I delete the game and played on it and played another game and entered pocket ponies, It loads back to old data **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information about this! ### 1/5 — Takes your money and then deletes purchases *2023-01-19* I have spent a money buying gems to unlock characters (approx $10). Next time you open app all the purchases are gone and can’t be restored. I have seen other comments stating same issue. This game could be a scam! Customer service was contacted but no resolution was found. **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information about this! ### 1/5 — It’s An Ok Game *2023-01-19, version 2021.1.0* The Game Is Alright I mean I like it it’s just the Dumb Timer on the Game Goes fast and it won’t let me go as slow as I want to and I wish the timer was not added to the Game when I do battles so that way it would be easy for me to win battles without the Timer so idk if you might do this Can you Pls Remove The Timer From the Game pls? So it will make it Easier for me to win battles and not lose battles because it’s hard when the timer is on the game so can you pls remove it pls so it will make the game easy to win battles thx ### 1/5 — Stole my money from in app purchases *2021-01-05* UPDATE- Contacted developers and got almost zero support. I am still out of money by over £200 due to the many bugs still in this game that effect players negatively. Such a shame as it’s a great game. Loved this game but updated the latest software version and all the projectile and power boosts I had purchased were added to health boosts and I can no longer purchase boosts with coins which I’ve done since initial download 1yr ago and paid for diamonds to buy 100,000 coins (800 diamonds many times. I would like this resolved and got in touch with the game but no response. DO NOT PURCHASE ON THE LATEST UPDATE **Developer response:** Please contact support@budgestudios.ca for more information. We would be happy to help! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2020-09-27* We did the latest update and now all we get is a white screen so have to attempt delete and reloading it 😒 **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about this. Please contact us at support@budgestudios.ca. We would be happy if you could share more information. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-11-07* I love this game so much some levels are pretty hard but keep trying one thing I don’t like is that when your pony’s get hurt or somthing you have to pay some of your coins to get them back or just wait ### 5/5 — owen jones *2024-09-21* owen one s ### 5/5 — YES BEST POCKET BUBBLE GAME FOR ALL AGES *2024-09-09* I know a lot of bubble pop games that my grandparents have, but they don’t have this one! I love the cute appearances of these ponies, although everyone is now in g5 land with sunny Izzy hitch zip and pipp and misty, I still watch g4 too and I am a big fan of sprout the evil pony from the g5 movie and alphabittle the unicorn king, so I downloaded every mlp game I had! I kinda have to wait and I finished off princess Candace for plan why do we all have to be sandbar the guy from the future of g4 I love flurry heart she is adorable and I love how she sound I like the cake twins too byeee ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-06-30* My little pony is my life. ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2024-06-24* I used to play this a few years ago on my phone and came back to it today. There is a few things that the developers changed that I wished could have stay the same. Such as how we used to be able to buy boxes instead of just picking the character we want to buy. Maybe you can change it so that we can both pick the characters we want to buy and buy boxes? I am not sure if it’s just me that isn’t seeing the blind box option. Overall it’s a fun game! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-04-21* When I got this I was a bit bored because I kept on losing but now that I’ve became a champion it’s literally so much fun! I love all the things you need to collect and all the challenges! If your looking to want a game that isn’t boring or you get tired of it really quick I suggest trying out pocket pony champion! Trust me you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-04-15* Love it ### 5/5 — ITS SO NOT BORING ‼️‼️ *2024-04-04* It’s fun tbh I think u should download it if ur reading this but why does this have a 4+ rating? Cuz i know if I put a 5-9 year old through this game they would probably cry or just not understand. Not that its bad it can just get super hard. And i know my little pony is for kids but not that young?? are the only options 4+ and then all the way up to 12+? Cuz if thats true i would understand!! Also this game hasn’t been updated in like 3 years 😭 what the flip bro ### 5/5 — Wonderful game *2023-11-07* When I was younger i used to play this game all the time. It was my favourite game for about 5 years until I stopped watching my little pony. I’ve just re-downloaded the game recently even though I no longer watch my little pony I absolutely love this game and would suggest it to children who love my little pony! ### 5/5 — LAG *2023-08-21* So I was recently stuck on Starlight’s 4th level, I think it was, and I had 17 gems at the time. I planned to hire a legendary to help me beat the level when one of my ponies fainted. So then in somewhat the middle of the round, Rarity fainted and so I used 15 of my gems to replace her with Granny Smith, but here comes the problem. At when I had EXACTLY 22 enemies left in my level, I used Granny Smiths power to see what it was, WHEN IT DIDN’T WORK. Instead, her big fat granny face popped up, without showing the title of the power, OR EVEN USING IT. It just stayed there, blocking most of my screen, I could barely see the enemies, so OBVIOUSLY I failed the level. And so, I wasted 15 stupid gems, on this stupid level, on this stupid game. Stupid app... Ok I’m gonna be kind to you, and I will give this app 5 stars every time it asks me, and 5 stars now. Thank me. Anyway, I won’t delete this app, so don’t worry, I still like the game, though this story was not fake. I know, I’m weird. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
