### 4/5 — FUN

*2026-08-12, version 1.47*

At 91, I am a bit challenged.

### 3/5 — Game progress

*2025-06-17, version 1.40*

As long as I have been playing total accomplishments aren’t added in correctly

### 5/5 — Rainbow jewels

*2022-06-05, version 1.29*

It keeps my interest and challenging!

### 5/5 — Enjoy playing this

*2021-11-23, version 1.29*

It is fun

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever

*2021-11-05, version 1.29*

I’ve been playing Rainbow Jewels for years.  I can bing it or put it down for a few days.  Best thing ever is that you don’t have to $$buy anything (CC etc) and it doesn’t have commercials in the middle of your play.  The ads are scrolling at the bottom.  I enjoy all Boy Howdy games.  Thanks Guys!

### 5/5 — Competitive

*2021-09-28, version 1.29*

I am soooo competitive. I played this game for a long time watching my score rise on the leaderboard. It got harder and more challenging fast. Once I reached first place I stopped playing and never went back to look at who passed my score. It was enough for me to know I had reached the top once.

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2021-08-12, version 1.29*

The game is fun, but I find it is a bit odd as it isn’t full screen when playing the game, and I find the games graphics aren’t the best

### 3/5 — Would be higher

*2021-08-04, version 1.29*

Except the game freezes way to often for my taste.  Kind of hard to get 8 to the game when it freezes every level.  Uninstalled because I don’t play buggy games.

Shame it’s buggy, it was fun, until freezing took away from enjoyment

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-07-22, version 1.29*

I've been playing this game for many years love it.  Has kept me entertained for so many quiet evenings.

### 5/5 — Chill break

*2020-12-28, version 1.27*

Working from home it’s my chill challenge moment. I take five work on a couple of games. Love it

### 5/5 — Addicting!

*2020-10-21, version 1.27*

I love this game! It is addicting and doesn't time you out with annoying "you have to buy more" messages. BUT, it often freezes.

### 5/5 — The most fun

*2020-09-12, version 1.26*

I am so addicted to this game I love it so much. It is seriously the best, I’ve been playing it for years.

### 5/5 — Fun, but challenging!

*2020-08-07, version 1.26*

I kind of rolled my eyes when I first saw this game, but I thought, Why not give it a try?” It has become the most addictive game I’ve played in some time! What I probably like the most is that the ads are quite unobtrusive — and not ubiquitous. I also like that this is not a game full of quirky gimmicks. What you sed is what you get. Go ahead — take the challenge!

### 5/5 — GREAT CUSTOMER SUPPORT !!

*2020-06-25, version 1.24*

This is my favorite game to play!
Makes you think before you make a move.
This is a very addictive game , I play this game every day and never get tired of playing it.The ads are very small ( at the bottom of the page ).  I accidentally deleted this the other day ;
Contacted Julie and she told me how to fix the problem.
Great game for leisurely play  .

### 5/5 — Awesome  game!

*2020-04-29, version 1.24*

This game is  awesome and so entertaining!

### 4/5 — Favorite game has only one flaw

*2020-02-09, version 1.24*

This is my favorite game.  You have to think but not too hard and there are no annoying timers or ads popping up every other minute.  

The only thing wrong with it is that if you accidentally turn off the message that you’re about to reach the top and end the game the only way to turn that back on is to delete the app and reinstall it.  Please add an option to turn it back on in the settings.

### 1/5 — Opinion

*2024-08-02, version 1.38*

The instructions are not complete and insufficient.  Game moves entirely too fast to establish technique

### 1/5 — Instruction for how to play is so unclear.

*2022-06-07, version 1.29*

Instruction is so unclear that even after spending 20 min I have not been able to figure it out. Please improve this if you want to succeed.

### 1/5 — Forced to do obnoxious tutorial, no way to stop afs

*2021-10-29, version 1.29*

App doesn’t allow you to go to settings first to turn off OBNOXIOUS noises. You have to suffer through the tutorial with these awful sounds before you can do anything. No way to get rid of ads.

### 1/5 — Deleted game

*2017-08-08, version 1.15*

No way to stop sounds. Also, just connecting gems in a straight line boring.

### 1/5 — Oh well

*2014-09-08, version 1.6*

Did not even get off the tutorial, just got stuck in a loop so deleted it

### 1/5 — Rainbow jewels

*2014-07-06, version 1.6*

Boring boring boring

### 1/5 — An exercise in futility

*2014-04-13, version 1.5*

As much as I enjoy this app I think it's absolutely ludicrous to create a game that if you lose a level (and it could be 61) that your only options are to go back to levels 25, 10 or to restart from scratch. I learned that the hard way. It cannot be that difficult to add the feature to unlock shortcuts at incremental intervals. Give me the option of retrying a stage, going back five levels, something. Otherwise advancing past level 25 becomes tiresome and extremely pointless. All in all I don't think I enjoy the game enough to want to carry on wasting my time like this. Sort it out.

### 1/5 — Candy Crus Saga

*2013-04-02, version 1.3*

Very relaxing and enjoyable game. Full marks to it's designers.

### 2/5 — Anticlimactic

*2023-12-09, version 1.37*

I really liked this game until I realised it had a maximum score then the game is over. It feels very anticlimactic and unsatisfying to hit it and be done.

### 2/5 — Gets to hard to fast

*2018-08-21, version 1.16*

To many colors with to little patterns to level up

### 5/5 — My Go-to relaxation!

*2026-05-23*

Simple but strategic and no ads! Have been enjoying now for many years! Thanks.

### 5/5 — Scoring Suggestion

*2025-05-01, version 1.40*

The current scoring system has some high scores overflow a signed 64-bit integer and are capped at the max value.  I suggest the scores be in single points instead of in 100s of points, and all high scores and scores should be multiplied by a factor of 0.01, while keeping the ranks of high scores.  For example my current high score is 22,353,100 points which in the new system would be 223,531 points instead (22,353,100x0.01=223,531) to keep my same rank.

### 5/5 — Addictive Game

*2024-12-11, version 1.39*

I can play this game while listening to an audio book or tv.  Any problems I have I submit my question and get an immediate reply back. Developers are there to help.

### 5/5 — Time Limit?

*2024-11-20, version 1.39*

I love this app, along with many others from BoyHowdy… however, I have not been able to be active on it for a couple of weeks.  Came back in today to resume playing and have been put back to level 1 instead of 20 or 21 which I was on prior to being absent?  Is that normal?  Was shocked and less than happy that I had lost all my progress.  I have been a loyal Boy Howdy customer for several years.  Please reply to this.

### 5/5 — Rainbow jewels
