Been waiting months *2020-11-15, version 1.1.02* Been waiting months for levels past 125 ### 4/5 — Plutôt un bon jeu de match 3 *2017-02-19, version 1.0.8* Parfois un peu difficile, mais qui fait de l'usage, du coup ! ### 4/5 — Great Game *2016-03-01, version 1.0.10* Fun to play even though it's like the others; try to get you addicted until you spend money. But overall lots of fun! ### 2/5 — No level 123 *2016-01-26, version 1.0.10* I beat level 122 twice. The first time I thought it was a glitch, but the second time I beat it, it still won't let me move on. ### 3/5 — DONE *2016-01-21* You absolutely cannot get past level 113 unless you are willing to spend a few bucks. I've already spent money to buy extra lives when I've got extra time to play, but I just won't spend any more to just get past this level. A life costs only 2 bars, but extra moves are costly...9 bars for five extra moves. Way to ruin a really good game. ### 3/5 — Loved it until..... *2015-12-28* I am on level103 and it has no option to add moves. It is also very difficult to win on this level. I will give it a few more tries but have been on it for 3 weeks. Time to move on to something else. Sad because I really like this game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-11-15, version 1.0.10* Great to have an update. I love the game. It is more difficult than similar games and doesn't have sudden flashing pieces. However the new version is very advert heavy. There is an option to remove adverts for £3.99. ### 5/5 — Take the cake *2015-10-28* I like it very much I think it's challenging ### 1/5 — Really???!!?!?? *2015-10-22, version 1.0.8* When you need so many of a certain item, and you have lots of moves to get them, but you don't put enough on the board to get. Unbelievable 😩 ### 5/5 — обновление) *2015-10-05, version 1.0.8* А когда будет обновление?) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It won’t connect to Facebook *2024-01-23* When I try to click to sign into Facebook it won’t let me at all, but other than that it’s a fun game but they need to fix that for sure? ### 1/5 — Hard to move next level with 3 stars *2018-12-26, version 1.1.02* I am stuck at level 24 for weeks with no more help boosters. Teach me how to do coz I like to play this interesting game. Thanks ### 1/5 — Fedup2 *2018-10-08, version 1.1.02* When are you going to up date this game. It's been telling me coming soon for weeks now if it's not really soon will delete but fed up playing same. level ### 1/5 — Stupid *2017-10-16, version 1.1.02* BORrrrrrriNG ### 1/5 — Level 37 impossible *2017-03-11* Fun game but no power ups to earn whole game advance in how much you pay to play. ### 1/5 — Take the cake. *2016-12-26, version 1.1.01* When I got my new iPad mini 4 I transferred everything from my old iPad. I was on level 78 on old I'd but you only put me to 44 on my new one. That's losing 34 levels! I don't know how or why but it's very irritating. I've tried everything suggested and nothing works. Maybe I'll just delete the game totally. ### 1/5 — Stop the video ads!!!! *2016-10-21, version 1.0.10* STOP IT with the video ads!!!!! I turned off sound FOR A REASON, and NO, I don't need to be spammed by video where I can't shut it up. Cut it out!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎 *2016-01-17, version 1.0.10* The crappiest game I have ever played... Just another money making app ### 1/5 — What's up with all of the adds??? *2015-11-14* 30 second videos in between every turn?! When did that start? I stopped playing when I ran out of levels...they finally add more...but now there are a RIDICULOUS amount of adds. I have never seen anything like it. It is so bad I am actually writing a review - for the first time ever. Unreal. I am done - again... ### 1/5 — .?? *2015-11-06, version 1.0.8* So.....I like the game,but since the last update was 9, yup, 9 months ago. I guess I'll delete it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-04-19, version 1.1.02* Love this game but needs to be updated with new levels after many years that it has not been. Would not want another game thrown in the trash.VERY CHALLENGING ON SOME LEVELS. 🙀😼 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-01-21* Love this game but needs to be updated with new levels after many years that it has not been. Would not want another game thrown in the trash. ### 5/5 — Pongan mas niveles *2024-10-23, version 1.1.02* Me encantaba este juego, por favor queremos mas niveles!!! ### 5/5 — Take cake l *2018-04-02, version 1.1.02* Le jeux est sympa mais il faudrait faire une suite car bloquer aux 126 ### 5/5 — Really Cool *2017-12-17* I like this better than most match 3 games. And I like that this game gets progressively more challenging as you go. And is it just me.... I just love the sounds,feel, and "texture" of this game - strangely compelling! Can't believe how many reviewers say they had to spend money! It def gets tough but I completed it without spending a penny. This game is my all time fav! Just the right degree of challange! ### 5/5 — Take the Cake *2017-03-10* Love the game. Have reached all levels. Says more to come but it's been at least 6 months. ### 5/5 — Take the cake *2016-11-02* Please fix. I am so sick of this it will not load so can't play .please fix it now. You still haven't fixed this game yet.I start to play then it won't let me play on. I am sick of waiting. ### 5/5 — take the cake *2016-07-21, version 1.0.10* very interesting game .. ### 5/5 — I have 3 words for you: *2016-05-02, version 1.0.10* All Goals Reached! :) ### 5/5 — Really nice game buttttttttttt *2016-03-05, version 1.0.10* I gave a 5 star I really love this this game. It's just a lot of levels are so hard to pass, I refuse to pay to pass levels.ease up on the really hard levels, not fun if you can't pass, know you need to make money but COME ON!😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
