Just updated to IOS 17.4 on my iPad and iPhone. Suspect these are linked Update, still crashes randomly, today lost 3 games due to crashes. Nothing else running on my iPad. Update July 26, crashing worst than ever and adverts with fake close tabs where you click to a web page are frustrating ### 2/5 — Why *2026-07-06, version 3.0.5* I’ve been top of the leader board three weeks running but not had my rewards, why is that. ### 3/5 — Stürzt leider oft mitten im Spiel ab *2026-05-30* Eigentlich ein kurzweiliges Spiel. Aber sehr viel Werbung, die auch mal mitten im Spiel startet. Und wenn man ein Werbevideo anguckt, um ein weiteres Leben zu bekommen, wird am Ende ständig angezeigt, dass Video wäre nicht zu Ende angesehen (was nicht stimmt). Es gibt dann einen Button zum erneuten Ansehen, der nie funktioniert. Wenn man sich 15 oder 30 min Leben erspielt hat, laufen auch erst ein oder zwei Werbevideos, was von der erspielten Zeit abgeht. ### 2/5 — Full of dodgy scam adverts *2026-05-05, version 3.0.5* About to delete. Full of scam adverts using well known brands and the NHS, mostly claiming that weight loss can be achieved through wearing jewellery or other such ridiculous things. Clearly the developers have no morals allowing this to continue. Basic scanning and checking or indeed playing of the game would quickly raise awareness and action ### 3/5 — Needs some tweaks *2026-01-08, version 3.0.5* I’ve. Embodying this game for years. I find it entertaining, but over the last year or so I find videos don’t play so you can’t get the ‘diamonds’. You can’t watch a video to give you the two extra lives. Disappointing lol ### 2/5 — Get if you like pop up adds *2025-08-31, version 3.0.5* Used to love this game but now it just pops up with an add every few minutes. Don’t bother ### 3/5 — Still crashing a lot *2024-07-07, version 3.0.5* This seems to be a Repeat issue part way through a game it just crashes time it was sorted , otherwise people will stop playing and move on to something else ### 2/5 — Really fed up *2024-05-21, version 3.0.5* Been playing this game for years but just recently it crashes so much that it’s impossible to play, wouldn’t be so bad if it let you pick up from just before crash! But I just have to start again, so just end up loosing the life and the rest are lost in quick succession due to the same problem. if this isn’t sorted soon I’m just going to delete it as really fed up now! ### 2/5 — Crash *2023-09-05, version 3.0.5* Not sure what has happened to this game but it crashes constantly!! It has stopped playing videos for charms. Doesn’t start a game but you still lose a life. Please try to fix it’s a good game ### 1/5 — Developers have you lost interest? *2023-09-03, version 3.0.5* Like many have already said I’ve played this game for years. For me it was the best match 3 game out there, HOWEVER it’s changed so much and not for the better. Firstly we suddenly have to deal with a constant barrage of adverts (because there wasn’t any before) then the game started playing almost in slow motion. I contacted you and explained it was impossible to play, I didn’t receive any acknowledgment of my email but it stopped. Then it started to crash, each time it did I would lose a life, so if this happens 2/3 times you may only have two life’s left. Today I went on the game and guess what, it’s starting to go in slow motion again! As developers if you cannot be bothered to put these things right remove the game from the App Store because it’s not fare you get so invested in it then suddenly you can’t play! Or fix these problems that a few people have mentioned! But do something! ### 1/5 — Once good now rubbish *2023-08-21, version 3.0.5* Lousy programming, constant crashes. Continual ads. ### 2/5 — Crash crash crash *2023-08-15, version 3.0.5* If you want our money, fix it!! It’s a good game but I would never pay a red cent for this constantly crashing nightmare. ### 2/5 — Too many adverts *2023-08-06, version 3.0.5* Been playing for years but now it’s impossible to play. Each time an advert comes on. I end up losing patience and not playing. I don’t want to play the games in the adverts. I want to play this one. Was 5/5 now it’s a sad 2/5 ### 3/5 — Far too many ads *2023-08-04, version 3.0.5* Been playing for years but the increase in ads is annoying and getting to be really intolerable. Usually play now on airplane mode which blocks them! ### 1/5 — Gefühlt mehr Werbung als Spielzeit- Spiel gelöscht *2023-07-19* Ich spiele seit Jahren und bin inzwischen bei Level 3281. Aber nun ist Schluss. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich inzwischen mehr Werbezeit ertragen muss als ich spielen kann. Es macht keinen Spaß mehr und ich lösche das Spiel nun. Beim Öffnen der App muss man Werbung wegklicken und nach jedem Spiel kommt ausführliche Werbung, manchmal 2 oder 3 Blöcke. Das ist mir zu blöd und schade um die Zeit, die ich „abwarten“ muss. Außerdem öffnet die App sehr langsam und hängt sich ab und zu auf, sodass man neu starten muss. Schade, liebe Entwickler, eigentlich ist es ein schönes Spiel, aber ab sofort ohne mich. ### 1/5 — Technical issues *2023-07-07, version 3.0.5* Game is freezing more, and usually after claiming bonus so can’t use it, and what happened to the mini games no longer there!, ### 1/5 — Was good once *2023-06-19, version 3.0.5* Really sad to see this game quality go down. No update for 2 years. Now full of adverts. Crashes frequently. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not loading *2024-10-21, version 3.0.5* Been 4wks since being able to play! I click on the game and it shuts down straight away. I have been playing this game for over 10yrs and it’s frustrating when I can’t get on it, that’s the reason for 1 star! ### 1/5 — Candy crash *2024-03-25, version 3.0.5* Game keeps crashing and you have to go through the pain of all the adverts to start it again and loose the life you were playing. Just updated to IOS 17.4 on my iPad and iPhone. Suspect these are linked Update, still crashes randomly, today lost 3 games due to crashes. Nothing else running on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Constant Crashing & Adverts *2024-03-11, version 3.0.5* I really enjoy this game when it actually lets you play properly, but the amount of adverts you get along with the freezing and crashing makes it near impossible to play. It’s a free game, there will be adverts, but there are so many! My biggest gripe, though, is when you get the option to watch an advert and get an extra 2 turns or a free spin to get another couple of turns, you watch the FULL ad, and it either freezes so you have to completely exit and start again, or it just closes itself down! And it happens all the time! I can see many people having the same issues so I don’t know why nothing gets done, I’ve not seen any app updates in the App Store for this game for ages now which is pretty telling. ### 1/5 — Impossible to play *2024-03-02, version 3.0.5* This is because of the number of adverts. What’s more the games they advertise do not represent the actual game. I tried a couple too see if it would make them go away. It didn’t ### 1/5 — Avoid this game! Doesn’t play properly *2023-11-26, version 3.0.5* What the hell is going on with this game. It seems to me you are just happy making money from the adverts! Because you clearly don’t care about all the bad feedback you are receiving! All the years many of us have invested in this game and suddenly it all changes! Take it off the App Store because you are a bunch of cowboys! If people buy diamonds then it starts to go slow or crash it’s not fare! ### 1/5 — Too many adverts *2023-11-16, version 3.0.5* I have had this game for quite a while but hardly play it as the adverts are just too much.literally after every life lost there is an advert. Please fix!! ### 1/5 — I’d give it a minus if I could *2023-11-11, version 3.0.5* Constantly crashes and still have the audacity to charge for extra gems/time! Either update or get rid of the app! Appalling! Such a shame as it’s a good game when it was working! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-10-23, version 3.0.5* I’ve been playing this game for years getting in to level 1500 plus and it now constantly crashes…every chance of games there’s an annoying advertisement for some king game with no annoying advertisements….absolutely ridiculous a bloody joke! This game is no longer worth the time and definitely needs a major upgrade and kick up the backside for all involved in the development process and miserably frustrating experience. I am jettisoning this absolutely complete and utter waste of my life !,, ### 1/5 — Update Needed ASAP *2023-09-20, version 3.0.5* This game constantly crashes, it hasn’t been updated in two years!! You pay for extra lives, and it takes them when it crashes !! ### 1/5 — Ads from nowhere *2023-09-14, version 3.0.5* Been playing for many years. Sure at one point I paid to play without ads but may be mixing up with another game. No longer enjoyable to play because of the continuous ads. I’m off to play Royal match as they don’t have ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Grat game *2024-01-09, version 3.0.5* It’s still my fav game, after few years. Yes, it crashes sometimes but apart from that it is really great. ### 5/5 — Ich bleibe treu *2021-11-14* Mit mal langen, mal kurzen Unterbrechungen spiele ich schon seit über 5 Jahren. Man kann PowerUps recht leicht gewinnen und so dann auch schwere Level meistern. Es gibt immer wieder Events und wöchentliche Turniere wo man auch viel gewinnen kann. Sehr abwechslungsreich und süß animiert. ### 5/5 — Sugar Swap *2020-12-25, version 3.0.1* I love playing this game but it crashes every time I play it and another advert popped up on the screen and I closed it also another Nintendo ad with a Pokemon in it please remove it now or I will delete it now ### 5/5 — Ich liebe dieses Spiel *2019-07-29* Ich spiele das Spiel schon seid 3 Jahren. Es kommt keine Werbung, es ist abwechslungsreich und es fordert heraus. Kann schon sein das ich mal ein paar Tage am selben Level hängen bleibe. Daumen hoch ### 5/5 — Ich kann seit über 1 Woche keine Gams erhalten und weiß nicht warum *2019-03-11* Kann jemand helfen? ### 4/5 — Tournament *2026-03-29, version 3.0.5* Why can’t I get into the tournaments,it just keeps saying that no tournaments can be found ### 4/5 — Ich spiele das Spiel seit über 6 Jahren *2023-06-16* Ich liebe das Spiel aber ich muss sagen, dass es unbedingt ein Update geben muss… es stürzt immer ab und macht so viele Probleme. Ich hoffe, dass es bald Besserungen gibt. Sonst muss ich mich vom Spiel leider verabschieden. ### 4/5 — Tolles Spiel aber..... *2021-03-10* Komme seit 2 Wochen nicht mehr rein. Beim Booten immer Abbruch. Warum? Wenn hier nix passiert, widersetzt ich es löschen. LEIDER ### 4/5 — Sugar mania *2020-09-07, version 2.9.5* Ive been playing years on level 3340. Last 24 hours wont come on. Just payed for more moves (more money) and now wont play how can i contact main people for the game. Turned phone on and of. Tried reloading but nothjng ### 4/5 — Schade *2018-06-07* Ein schönes Spiel. Leider sind ab Level 300 immer nur 5 Level frei geschalten. Im Moment dauert es 14 Tage bis wieder 5 frei sind. Bin jetzt bei ca. Level 2700 und nutze ein iPhone. Kann Mann das nicht mal beheben. Habe jetzt 6 Stunden frei erspielt und nichts da zum Spielen. Echt schade.
