### 2/5 — Update from “Great game, not too many ads”

*2026-08-26, version 7.1.0*

I can’t get through a move hardly without another quick ad.  Way too many!!!  If this doesn’t change immediately, I’m dumping it.  That’s too bad because I loved it and played it for years now!  Former review - “I play this almost daily. The ads do no interfere and I have no complaints! This almost never happens!”

### 1/5 — 8/22/26 UPDATE Would like a response from this year please

*2026-08-23, version 7.1.0*

Was 7.1.0 update just info saying there is an update coming soon? I did the update and nothing changed.

### 1/5 — Stopped working!

*2026-08-22, version 7.1.0*

The app stopped working after the recent iOS update. Tried unloading and reloading, but it didn’t help! Please fix! This is one of my daily favorite games!

### 3/5 — So annoying!

*2026-08-22, version 7.1.0*

I used to love playing this game but now there is literally no other way to earn tokens except buying or getting them in a daily reward. You used to could spend your coins to earn token but they have taken that option away as well. Money hungry! It used to be a good game.

### 3/5 — Finished?

*2026-08-21, version 7.1.0*

I have played this game for years and loved it. I would have given 4 or 5 stars but I am at the end and I am only offered the color version… WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS. And no, it’s not an easy version to figure out. And for the last couple of months the ads have been like pop ups that slide down while I’m making a move. At least let me finish my puzzle like before. I just don’t like the changes. I will miss the game.

### 1/5 — Can no longer build up tokens

*2026-08-19, version 7.1.0*

The change in replaying no longer lets me build up tokens to use in tournaments. Can't get daily tokens unless I use tokens to play. I have moved on to more friendly apps.

### 1/5 — Internet needed for puzzle game

*2026-08-16, version 7.1.0*

Used to be my favorite offline game to play on long trips thousands of puzzles completed while I was traveling without a connection, now its just useless junk on my phone because I can’t play it without a stable internet connection.

### 2/5 — 8/14/26 UPDATE Waiting for more

*2026-08-15, version 7.1.0*

Was 7.1.0 update just info saying there is an update coming soon? I did the update and nothing changed.

### 1/5 — No tokens given for playing old games.

*2026-08-13, version 7.1.0*

I advised support weeks ago that playing old puzzles no longer gives tokens to play.I guess they only want you to spend money now. Luckily plenty of other games out. I encourage you to boycott this game.

### 4/5 — Token Problem

*2026-08-13, version 7.1.0*

I absolutely love this game to bits! I can’t seem to ever get off of it. My only complain is that I genuinely don’t understand why game creators construct a time block on levels, with tokens being the form in this game. I have eventual waves every now and again where I pick up this app again. When I do, I spend over an hour filling out survey after survey to scrape up any tokens I can get my hands on. I mean, to be blunt, why would you want the users of the app to be able to play endlessly? I would be playing this way more and potentially even spend money on this game if there wasn’t the token wall. It gets annoying running out of tokens and having to fill out survey forever and ever to scrape up enough to complete like ten puzzles. I really really really want to give this game a complete five stars but just simply can not because it feels as though it punishes me for progressing and playing the game. I hope this is resolved. Either through increasing the amount of tokens won or making puzzles cheaper, or completely eradicating the token concept entirely— I’m here for it. Incredibly fun and addicting game though.
