Makes no sense to me. I want to play the game that was in the ad. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-09-11* So WHILE you are clicking on tiles the game exits to APPLE TV + - it’s like there is a trigger in tiles to send you off to an “ad” !!!!!!!! YES the game is awesome and entertaining but DANG at least every third tile click you will be sent to an AD!!!!!!!!! GARBAGE!!!! ### 2/5 — Amazon app keeps popping up *2024-08-24* The Amazon app keeps popping up in the middle of playing a match! I understand many apps having adds popping up, but I end up learning the game while trying to make a match. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading Ad *2024-09-11* I downloaded this game due to the ad showing an animated timed challenge where you help a character across a bridge. But it’s just a dime-a-dozen matching tile game. I played 20 levels and never saw the advertised version. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Fix the problem *2024-09-01* Fix the app. To fishy. I keep playing the game and it will randomly take me to Amazon for random air filters.. or key boards or calculator. Very weird. As fun as this game is I am not trusting it. ### 1/5 — A real shanghai *2024-08-30* This is the only game I have that literally shanghais my phone. While playing, the game randomly pops up different products on Amazon that I’ve never searched for before. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-08-30* This game randomly opens other apps on my phone. It also stays locked on an ad screen when it goes to an ad. You can not exit an ad ever. You have to close the game and reopen it. And, I’m sorry but if I’m closing an app du to a problem I am not reopening it over and over! I am in installing this one and you should avoid it all together. ### 1/5 — Nothing like ad. Deleting *2024-08-25* I hate false advertising ### 1/5 — Problems *2024-08-24* This app jumps into another app while playing and brings up the keyboard as well, I love playing this game but when these things happen I’m to the point to delete it, fix the problem. ### 1/5 — Seems scammy *2024-08-23* Downloaded and started to play and it immediately started opening other apps unprompted. Immediately deleted from my phone. ### 1/5 — Opens chat window & opens plotter apps *2024-08-22* Idk but app seems fishy. While playing got to lvl 5 multiple times keyboard window opened & with no reason my banking apps was forced open. While I was playing in game window without switching anywhere else. Just opens random stuff on my phone & makes me feel not safe playing it ### 1/5 — Not like shown *2024-08-20* Nothing like what they show you, need to fix it ### 1/5 — CLICKBAIT! *2024-07-26* This is nothing like what they show in the ads! It’s a mahjong game, no different from the thousand others in the App Store. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ??? *2024-09-11* It is interesting and taxing. ### 5/5 — this is a great game ! *2024-09-10* the best ### 5/5 — Great for Alheimzer’s Dementia *2024-09-01* Got to think that slows memory degradation. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-25* Fun ### 5/5 — Better challenge *2024-08-06* This game is fun and challenging. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-08-03* Very challenging. ### 5/5 — Super Great Brain Game *2024-07-26* Have to work fast to get all 3 matches. Love it!! ### 5/5 — Tiles Asia? *2024-07-25* It was fun to test yourself. But how does it show how your IQ score as the ad said. ### 5/5 — Pure Entertainment! *2024-07-25* Very entertaining; I forget to do house chores when I start playing! I get yelled at sometimes! ### 3/5 — Had to delete *2024-08-25* Every time I clicked on a tile on the perimeter it would bring up my keyboard so makes me suspicious --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
