I do love it but I miss the shaking before they disappear and the “yellow together” every time you clicked on the block grouping. Please make an app more similar to the original game. You’d make me so happy. ### 3/5 — Original better *2021-02-15, version 2.2.3* I liked the original better. Can’t we have a choice?! ### 2/5 — Money trap *2021-01-03, version 2.2.3* Used to be a great game. Now it’s just a cash cow. Zero options to play without draining your wallet. ### 4/5 — Loved on PC needs tweaking for app *2020-06-06, version 2.2.3* Love the QBeez when I played on the PC like many other people. This version is a good start. There are some things to make it even better 1. Social connections 2. PvP mode, game board mode vs the daily how far can you get 3. Daily login reward, and/or milestone prizes 4. Ingame support 5. Additional game info ( when you clear the max qbeez at once there used to be a clapping I think now it’s an echo) 6. Fix the rankings-it’s not working when I press on it. ### 3/5 — The classic seemed better *2020-01-02, version 2.2.3* Of course, I loved this game. QBeez was part of my childhood and everything was great. The mobile app was great too. Though after when the update became this, I still enjoyed it, but it doesn't give me much enjoyment. I got stuck in a level. I missed it back when it was just randomly made. I still wish more QBeez games were still made. ### 2/5 — Bring back PC features *2019-10-15, version 2.2.3* I see many of the same comments about this version vs the old PC version which was just plain fun. The ads are ridiculous. I downloaded it 1 day ago and am about to give up on it already. At least the music and QBeez sounds are the same but that’s not enough.You’ve made a bad game. Even for those of us without the nostalgia of the past, I don’t think people are going to like this for long. Yes I would be willing to pay some amount of $$ for a no-ad version, but not much. ### 2/5 — So many glitches *2019-06-05, version 2.2.3* I have always loved this game and I recently started playing again...unfortunately there are so many glitches now! And you can’t contact anyone for app support. I can’t rotate for the board to move. And if I watch an ad for more shuffles, I have to start the level over because it freezes. Garbage! ### 3/5 — QBeez kinks *2018-11-25, version 2.2.3* Screen locks up after watching promo to earn shuffles. Have to close game and reopen. Audio is cute. ### 1/5 — Muitas falhas *2018-03-31, version 2.2.3* Conheci este jogo na versão para Desktop e era excelente! A versão "mobile", contudo, fica longe disso! O app trava com frequência ou encerra sozinho. Impossível jogar! ### 4/5 — Still a fun game *2018-02-17, version 2.2.3* I loved this game on the PC and wondered why it was not an app. This is a fun translation, but I would rather spend a few bucks and not have the game FORCE me to watch a stupid ad in order to finish a level. And come on, when you shuffle and you end up with the same ordering of blocks? That takes away the fun. Also, there is a bug. After you watch an ad then come back to shuffle, the game doesn't recognize that you are pressing on the blocks. Fix the bug and release a paid version and I'll increase my rating to 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Good, but.... *2017-11-04, version 2.2.3* I like this game and have played it on my PC. I was excited to see it as an app. However, I wish there was a way to get 10 of the Life and Boom power ups (if one can call a Life a power up?!?) like the Shufflez. Why isn’t it the same across the board? Another option could be to make us watch a short ad to earn 5 lives/booms. Just wanted to suggest it 😀 ### 1/5 — great before.. complete crap now *2017-09-28, version 2.2.3* the developers had a great game in the original version of this app. then they ruined it with this “updated” version. the 2nd (!) level cannot be passed unless you buy power-ups. that’s kind of a sleazy way to force pay-to-play. such fail. ### 1/5 — Lot of ads and bugs *2017-06-04, version 2.2.3* It was a good game, but now it's remixed and not in a good way. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be fun *2026-04-29, version 2.2.3* After this update, the game is just not playable anymore really stupid. ### 1/5 — bad release to steal money from children *2024-08-22, version 2.2.3* no sound, no music, zero support to figure out why. Just play the game true to original and stop with popups to buy cheats and workarounds. obviously co opted by evil manipulative hoards of crypto bros boo! ### 1/5 — Why did they change it? *2022-03-28, version 2.2.3* It was perfect the way it was in 2008. The new design is one thing, but I’m really ticked off about the fact that you have to pay for limited shuffles now! It’s a disgrace! ### 1/5 — Why spoil a great game? *2022-01-30, version 2.2.3* What a real shame the designers have messed with the graphics and animations if you win a level, why can’t we have the old game back? Not everything is better updated. Crashes and freezes☹️ ### 1/5 — Yet another great game ruined. *2021-09-25, version 2.2.3* Haven’t played this in years. Decided to give it another go. It’s completely screwed. Just another ad-filled money grab. Avoid. ### 1/5 — New version 👎🏼 *2020-12-31, version 2.2.3* This new version is not as fun. I can’t see my previous scores and can’t quit if I want to restart. Beating my highest score was the motivation to keep playing. Without that, there is no reason to play at all. ### 1/5 — Bug iOS 9.6 *2020-04-02, version 2.2.3* Загружается, открывается, но не работает— вылетает. ### 1/5 — Very poor version of a previously great game *2020-01-02, version 2.2.3* Because I have not used an iPhone for several years it has been a while since I have played QBeez, which used to be my favorite game. The game with that name that is available now is really different from the game that I loved. It is now just a series of opportunities to show a video or cause payment in order to continue playing. Skunk house you have ruined your game! I rated it one star and that is a reluctantly awarded star. ### 1/5 — Ruined *2019-07-28, version 2.2.3* The original Qbeez was one of my favorite games. It had great game mechanics simple clean design and unique sounds. Now it is just another nickel and dime, in app money grab. Just uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Bugs make it impossible to keep playing *2018-05-15, version 2.2.3* Just like another reviewer said... I was playing the game and then forced to watch an ad... got back to the game & couldn’t finish the level!! Tapped the screen a zillion times on 2 yellow QBeez but nothing happened. There’s a bug in this game which makes it unplayable. Would be fun but fix the bugs! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Levels *2026-03-04, version 2.2.3* I think you need to lose lives and not start back over to the first round every 5 lives. We should have the option to start over or keep going but having to wait or something for lives to renew if we want to keep going. ### 5/5 — dont die yet its 2025 *2025-04-21, version 2.2.3* can yall at least update the app to have it be compatible with todays ios please… this game is goated im lowk addicted 😻 ### 5/5 — Love You Guys, please bring back gutterball...❤️ *2019-11-26, version 2.2.3* I don’t know if you guys have ever thought about it, but I would love a new gutterball game!! I love gutterball so much. I spent countless hours with my grandpa bowling 300s in gutterball 2. I love it and I’m sad to see that for a few years now it hasn’t been touched. I am not sure what you guys are up to but if you could, PLEASE! PLEASE! Update golden pin or make a new game I miss it so much and just wish the franchise could be bigger. I have hope for this game to continue and be widespread and popular. Please Skunk Studios, revive gutterball... And if you sadly have decided to put gutterball behind you, I thank you for all the great times and memories you guys gave me with my grandpa. Great company, great games. Much love ❤️ ### 5/5 — Jogo Incrível *2017-09-21, version 2.2.3* Esse jogos é um dos mais antigos na versão do pc , para celular mais ou menos aguardo melhorias nele. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2017-06-24, version 2.2.3* This game is a great game to play anytime. I've really enjoyed being able to whip out this app and have fun every time I do it. Pretty addicting... but very fun! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2017-06-05, version 2.2.3* I have been looking for this game for a long time! So glad I found it! Could be a huge hit with a few updates! Please keep it updated and going! ### 5/5 — QBeeeeez *2016-10-21, version 2.2.2* I have been playing QBeez since 2006, and that was when it could only be played on the computer! As soon as it was out for the iPhone and iPad, it was an immediate download for me. This game is so fun and addicting! You get so into wanting to clear the board and not leave any QBeez behind. The music and the chatter from the QBeez themselves is really fun! I love that this game is still around, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. My number one go-to game on my iPhone FOR SURE! ### 5/5 — Must download! *2016-10-21, version 2.2.2* Qbeez has always one of my favorite games! I recently updated to the latest version (2.2.2) and can't stop playing. It's not one of those game apps that take forever to load. Within seconds of opening the app you're already playing. The object of the game is so simple it's fun no matter what age you are. As you level up, the levels get harder and harder so you have to be more strategic! Definitely a must have game to have on your phone/pc! ### 5/5 — Free Time Fun Time *2016-10-21, version 2.2.2* What a fun game! It's easy to pick up and put down but never ceases to entertain. It's a change that you have to clear all the qbeez to level up but I realize I could play better when I don't. Poor little guys cry when you leave them. The infinite shuffle was cool and now you get a few and watch an ad or pay for more. I sent an email and they said they were gonna update it, and they did. I love this game and am trying to see how far I can go! Oh, they said a daily 5 or 10 level mode was coming soon as well as new character we can earn. Hurry up! ### 5/5 — Qbeez!! *2016-10-21, version 2.2.2* Great game, and definitely revamped. Love the graphics, and gameplay. Kind of addicting once you start playing, but not a problem for my 2 hr commute to and from work on the train.
