### 3/5 — I LOVE TAKE THAT

*2026-10-22*

As a die hard take that fan, I was excited to learn they had a game. However this is generally low quality: and it doesn’t play the songs at any point in the game.

### 1/5 — Too many faults

*2025-05-18*

I have bought credit not got my coins. I have got stuck on levels I’ve bought credit for then app.  Has froze.  Some levels I can get stuck on for days, be better if you purchased coins you could carry over what you didn’t use onto the next level

### 3/5 — Always a glitch

*2025-03-12, version 1.1.151*

Can’t complete a level as bars of chocolate don’t even appear on the level for you to complete it

### 1/5 — No new levels

*2025-02-11, version 1.1.134*

I’ve haven’t had any new levels for ages, still on 1500 but I can see others have new levels because they’re higher than me. I’m fed up of just playing old levels

### 3/5 — Level 1137 not working

*2025-01-21*

Great game, I’m a big Take That fan love playing it but been stuck on level 1137 for over a month the boxes don’t break in the middle which is frustrating so can’t complete level.

### 1/5 — Too glitchy

*2025-01-07*

Love this game but far too glitchy to enjoy. Silly little basic things that should have been sorted out before going live. Winnings from spin wheel never going onto game page - lost 3000 points and drumsticks won on the wheel that just never appeared - in fact nothing I’ve won on one of the spin wheels has ever appeared so what’s the point? Bottom of game page blocked by the symbols so can’t start the game on one level. End of game sticking so not moving into next level so have to close and reopen the app, And I can’t stand looking at the boys looking like that!! It’s a Take That game, which is the only reason I tried it, and I want to look at Gary, Mark and Howard - not cartoon characters that don’t even resemble them in any way! Please get the artwork sorted so that we at least know which ones which. And add information as to how we win things like the dice, rockets, drumsticks because no one seems to know…. Update - just done todays update and now stuck on level 85, I’ve completed the level 5 times and it won’t move on just stays on the level like it’s expecting me to do something! Had to close the app 5 times, reopen, complete the level again, and the same thing happening each time…..update - 6th time..and another 5 times so I am now giving up and putting this app to bed. And I keep winning drumsticks on the spin wheel - what happens to them? Where do they go? Do I ever get a chance to use them?

UPDATE - now going to delete this infuriating app. Since most recent update from the minute I open the app it’s telling me I’ve used up all my lives, without me actually using any! So sick of it, it’s now going.

ANOTHER UPDATE - SAYS NOT LIVES LEFT AS SOON AS OPENED. NEEDS TO BE UPDATED INTO A WORKING APP URGENTLY. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS THAT ITS BEEN LOKE THIS FOR SO LONG

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-11-26*

Great game lots of fun

### 5/5 — Bugs need fixing

*2024-11-19, version 1.1.114*

1137 needs fixing. Cant get rid of the boxes behind the baskets.::::

### 1/5 — Far too many glitches.

*2024-10-30, version 1.1.109*

Shame as it could be a great game if they were sorted.

### 5/5 — 709 glitch

*2024-09-25*

Love the game but level 709 wants diamonds that aren’t there! Been stuck on it for ages, thought todays update had sorted it but sadly not….
