### 2/5 — Sound

*2026-08-16, version 241.0.10*

Sound setting is off but ads still have audio. And it’s impossible to figure out how to close the ad. 🙄

### 3/5 — It is fine

*2026-08-15, version 241.0.10*

Could be better. I didn’t even join the races but I still was in them please fix this

### 3/5 — Fun but a bit annoying

*2026-08-13, version 241.0.10*

1-Have no clue to put in a custom username. 
2-Why do I always end up at the bottom when I spend my time getting to the highest level, perhaps it’s Diamond. After it resets for everyone, I end up back at Bronze and start all over again. 
3-I have so many coins but where can I spend them. It would be nice to use some of it for extra turns! So many times when I do those “Boss” levels, Come up short. What’s the point of having all these coins if I can’t use them. 
4-Getting bored with the game due to the previous 3 items I mention.

### 3/5 — ISSUE!

*2026-07-25, version 241.0.8*

I like this game; it requires a little thought. The issue I’m having is with the bonus rounds, the ones with bunches of bombs in them. I play these routinely, but well over 50% of the time, I reach the final pull, and the pin just freezes. Freezes, as in will not budge to give me the win. It’s annoying to make it all the way through and not get a reward. Can we fix this?

### 3/5 — Could Be Better

*2026-07-25, version 241.0.8*

Game has potential. But it’s too easy and the graphics leave a lot to be desired. 

Color ball challenges (yellow balls to yellow bucket / blue to blue) are a guessing game sometimes because the buckets are both green. If you don’t “guess” properly, you fail. 

Sometimes the buckets are colored accordingly.

### 2/5 — Challenge 94

*2026-07-22, version 241.0.7*

This challenge level cannot be completed without adding one more pin removal

### 3/5 — Fun

*2026-07-06, version 241.0.5*

I’m on level 2726.  It glitches and fails.  Can’t get beyond that.  Disappointing

### 1/5 — ADS!   I do not to watch ads!! I want to play the game

*2026-07-05, version 241.0.5*

I agree with Joe Ward. Everything is repeated over and over! By-by pin pull!

### 1/5 — Pay to remove ads DOES not remove all ads.

*2026-07-05, version 241.0.5*

Game is ok, but I paid to remove ads, but yet there are still ads. Deleting the game and filling it under life lessons.

### 4/5 — Magic power’s movie scene underworld’s land

*2026-07-04, version 241.0.5*

Heroes

### 1/5 — Jogo bom mas muito anúncio

*2026-07-04*

Insuportável a quantidade de anúncio. Apaguei.

### 2/5 — Do not pay for ad free

*2026-07-03, version 241.0.5*

Like the game, paid for ad free and still get ads up to a minute long. Restore purchase made no difference. There is no contact option for support.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-09-06, version 241.2.1*

This game sucks it is way to easy and there are way to many adds and all of that fun stuff they show in the adds is not there at all.

### 1/5 — Pull the pin

*2026-09-03, version 241.2.1*

I have been stuck since Saturday. I played one game about 30 times. I got no points. Took me to where I got stuck. Please fix it again!!! How do I get ahold of someone instead of here!! Please help!!

### 1/5 — 75

*2026-09-02, version 241.1.10*

Puzzle 75 can’t be done … just not enough tries plus if there were, it still cant be solved so can’t move on

### 1/5 — Pay for no ads not working

*2026-08-23, version 241.0.11*

I paid for no ads and I am still getting them all the time.

### 1/5 — Paid license for no ads

*2026-08-22, version 241.0.11*

Paid for license to remove ads but ads keep coming -  I've reported to apple but I'm still seeing the ads .

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2026-07-21, version 241.0.7*

I paid $7.99 for no ads but still seeing them. I deleted the game and asked for a refund. Don’t waste your time or money on that!

The game stops being challenging after a while. Even at the top Diamond league they’re still pretty easy.

### 1/5 — Insanely

*2026-07-18, version 241.0.7*

Primitive. +2xads. Pull the plug

### 1/5 — Relaxing NOT!

*2026-07-14, version 241.0.6*

Requests to download the same game repeatedly, other games repeatedly, etc. Excessive! This happens after each round. More time is spent trying to get out of these loops than is spent playing this rather remedial game. 

We come to play the games. We do not come to have our patience worn out by infinite loops of  promos.

### 1/5 — Last pin

*2026-07-10, version 241.0.6*

When I am doing one of the towers that have multi levels, the last pin will not come out and I am unable to finish the game!

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2026-07-07, version 241.0.5*

Cannot contact them or get support.  Had my iPhone reset to factory settings and had to re-log into game. It has me back at the beginning and years of building up everything is gone.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-09, version 241.0.1*
