### 4/5 — Pirate Drops

*2021-11-15, version 1.0*

I love this game but can’t disable the music/sounds. It shows the sound icon is muted but it still plays. I don’t want to turn my volume down because I listen to audiobooks, etc. I have an iPhone 8 Plus—is there a glitch with my phone or the game? Please let me know what I can do to fix this—thanks!

### 3/5 — Would be 5 but problems w/sound

*2021-01-04, version 1.0*

I played this game on an Android phone and it was fantastic, super addictive. But on my iPhone I can’t listen to podcasts or music while playing (even if I turn game sounds off) and the only way I can hear the game sounds is with headphones. That really limits how much I want to play this.

### 1/5 — App Keeps crashing

*2019-12-19, version 1.0*

I enjoy the game but lately it keeps crashing. Bummer!!

### 2/5 — Can’t turn off the F******g sound!

*2019-03-30, version 1.0*

Like the game, but it takes 2 seconds before you really want to turn off all of the sound. 
Like the game otherwise.

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2017-12-03, version 1.0*

Love this game!

### 5/5 — Match 3

*2016-08-01, version 1.0*

I love this game it really makes you think.

### 5/5 — Pirate Drops - New Favorite

*2016-05-03, version 1.0*

I was hesitant to buy this game, although I really enjoy other games by the same developer. I thought the pirate theme sounded a bit juvenile, but the game is a lot of fun. I think it may be my new favorite match 3
game to date. Well done!

### 5/5 — My favorite app designer

*2015-09-12, version 1.0*

As a devotee of match 3 games, I believe you cannot find finer games for the iPad than those designed by Roberto.  The graphics are just plain pretty, the game play is smooth, there is a decent balance between very easy and frustratingly difficult.  The other thing I appreciate is that you can purchase these games outright with no in app purchases.  I've purchased all of his matching games and repeatedly play them,  even after I've completed the game.  If all iPad matching games were of this quality, I'd probably never get any work done!  I can't thank Roberto enough for the fun and frustration his games give me and truly thank him for his hard work designing them.

### 5/5 — My favorite by far

*2015-09-08, version 1.0*

I just love these games and being a senior citizen I find that they help me to stay sharp.

### 5/5 — Good fun!

*2015-07-21, version 1.0*

It is a fun standard match three-game made awesome by the fact it is pay and play. No IAPs woot!
