Please make them so a person can enlarge them. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2026-08-25, version 169.0.8* Good basic game for average user. Dependable & interesting. However background cannot be changed, which will disappoint users with minor vision issues. Have you heard Baby Boomers? ### 4/5 — Updated & now getting ads *2026-08-16, version 169.0.7* I purchased this app years ago as I liked it so much, however after doing the update today, I’m no2 getting ads when I share updates not be… how do I correct this? ### 3/5 — Was a great app *2026-08-04, version 169.0.6* This was a great app that I enjoyed when traveling or in remote locations where I didn’t have wifi. The latest update now requires wifi to play. When using with wifi you are constantly bombarded with ads for other games. Took the fun out of it. So much for a great game. Totally useless now. ### 3/5 — Tap away *2026-07-31, version 169.0.2* Is good for the mind ### 1/5 — BRING BACK OFFLINE PLAYING *2026-07-30, version 169.0.2* This game is fun for my iPad. Now with whatever update is done,I can’t no longer play it offline. Which is absolutely stupid and unfair. Now you trying to force me to play with WiFi on area I can’t, and all because ultimately you making people buy your add free version. PATHETIC!! Allow for it to be offline again, I can’t always get internet everywhere or do hotspot. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great game! *2026-07-30, version 169.0.2* Can no longer play without being online. Too bad that greed once again killed a good thing. You are being deleted!!! ### 2/5 — What happened? *2026-07-28, version 169.0.2* The last update seems to have crashed the game and it is no longer playable. It’s on a loop where it keeps saying: no more moves. And won’t let it restart or anything. Frustrating as this is a game I enjoy playing. Can it be fixed? ### 1/5 — Game not working properly *2026-07-25, version 169.0.2* I have got to the end of the game I am playing. No more times left and it is telling me I have run out of moves but there are no tiles left. I go out of the game and back in with the same problem. Up till about 3 or 4 days ago it was working perfectly ### 4/5 — Ouch! *2026-07-25, version 169.0.2* Love the game, but …The newest ads are long and impossible to click out. Finance and AI stuff. Have to exit to pass. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-22, version 169.0.2* I know you have to advertise to pay the bills, but good grief! I enjoy playing the game, but, sometimes enough is enough. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t fit on my iPhone or iPad & pop ups constantly *2026-07-21, version 169.0.2* Can’t you fix this glitch? It won’t let me shrink it like other apps do. Pop ups are soooooo disruptiv! I don’t want them!!! Otherwise love this game. ### 3/5 — Can’t Pardon the Interruptions *2026-07-18, version 169.0.2* The game itself is great, but the fact I can only play 30s at a time is maddening. Please make it stop interrupting to say I leveled up in the middle of a puzzle or give me an ad every time I open a special block… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid gold blocks *2026-09-01* Update: I came back to this game to see if it had improved over time. It hasn’t. Still nothing to buy with the millions of coins accumulated. Still have to put up with the stupid gold blocks that do nothing but interrupt the game. Oh, wait, the gold blocks give you the opportunity to watch an ad to put money in the developer’s pockets. The developers who don’t care about reviews like mine… proven by the fact that they do nothing to improve the game. I’m done. Original review: There’s no point rating this game because the developers don’t pay a blind bit of notice to them. It becomes more and more obvious as time goes on that they don’t actually care about the players, they only want to make money. I paid to have ads removed, but I still have to put up with the stupid gold blocks which are there to make you watch an ad. What part of NO ADS do you not understand? I also don’t want the coins that are given for the gold blocks and multiplied for watching the ads. I have almost 3 million coins, but you give us nothing to buy with them. I’ve unlocked all the skins and effects so the coins are useless. I used to enjoy this game. I like the puzzles, but it’s getting more and more frustrating to play because of all the interruptions. ### 1/5 — Ad heavy *2026-08-27, version 169.0.8* It is impossible to finish a single puzzle without watching dozens of ads. The game places “golden” boxes in your path randomly. The golden box must be removed to complete the puzzle and there is an ad attached to almost every box. Many years ago, you could claim the lowest points from these boxes and skip the ads. Now the game doesn’t care. You watch an ad anyway. I give up! Deleted. ### 1/5 — Sound upon opening *2026-08-23, version 169.0.8* Upon opening the app the sound is on and plays a loud chime from the developer. After that it is muted or off based on your apps settings. Seems like an intentional move to play a sound by the developers while trying to in to play the game they’ve made ### 1/5 — More ad time than puzzle *2026-08-23, version 169.0.8* This started as a pretty decent game - until the advent of the ridiculous numbers of adverts. Once I spend more time waiting for the boring adverts to pass than I do actually playing the game I’m going to uninstall. I looked into buying the ad-free version, but apparently it won’t go onto an iPhone 13. I don’t recommend this game unless you’ve already lost the will to live and are happy to spend hours watching the same advert over and over and over and over ad nauseam ### 1/5 — Stop saying ‘updates’ *2026-08-22, version 169.0.8* So your app store page shows the OLD games, the one WITHOUT GOLD BLOCKS. You keep saying updates, uninterrupted. DON’T WANT THE GOLD BLOCKS AND DON’T CARE WHERE I RANK! I just want to play the game ### 1/5 — The ADS are TOO much *2026-08-16, version 169.0.7* Absolutely hate all the ads! Get rid of them! ### 1/5 — Ads only *2026-08-15, version 169.0.7* Doesn’t work offline so I’m dumping it. ### 1/5 — Loved for awhile, and then… *2026-08-15, version 169.0.7* It was great for years. Now all of a sudden I can’t play offline when I don’t have a signal. And when I can play, the ads pop up so often that it interrupts the flow and stresses me out. Guess I’ll not be playing this one anymore. Too bad because it used to be a great relaxing game. ### 1/5 — Broken without internet *2026-08-05, version 169.0.6* I loved playing this whenever I didn’t have cell service - which is often where I live. After the last update, I can’t play at all without internet connection, it just says I must be connected. I’ve played this game for many years and in one update it’s entirely useless. I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2026-07-31, version 169.0.2* I used to love to play this game on road trips and while camping. The most recent update made it so that if you don’t have a connection, it immediately stops. Also, if you do have connection, there are so many ads that it is almost unplayable. Every 20 blocks is an ad, every gold block is an ad, and each level is an ad. It’s just one giant commercial these days. Don’t waste your time! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game but.. *2026-08-21, version 169.0.8* This game is amazing, I love how many different skins and shapes you can do and just the kind of relaxed state you reach for doing it for a while. It truly is a great game. The only thing it could work on is the pop ups. Don’t get me wrong I love knowing when I ranked up or if there’s a race but I feel like it kinda interrupts the relaxed state I get in when I reach another rank. If there is or could be a way to silence the pop ups of ranking up until after you finish the level then that would be amazing. But again this is an amazing game! I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Tao away *2026-07-30, version 169.0.2* You have to play it to see just how fun it is ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-07-30, version 169.0.2* Thanks ### 5/5 — Tap Game *2026-07-17, version 169.0.2* This game is awesome, I love the graphics, beautiful.😄😁👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍🤗 ### 5/5 — Tap Away 3D *2026-07-16, version 169.0.2* Tap Away 3D is by far my favorite GAME!!!!!!’ ### 5/5 — Loud noise *2026-07-14, version 169.0.2* I love this game but: 1: The opening sound is so loud and annoying. I cringe each time it starts. 2: Too many ads!!! Please help. ### 5/5 — Fingers crossed *2026-07-08, version 169.0.1* I enjoy this game a lot. As many others have mentioned, there’s way too many ads. Plus, can’t y’all make some new puzzle designs?! The same ones over and over are very boring. ### 5/5 — new top fave! *2026-06-06, version 168.0.0* I just got my nails done and they have already dried 10 levels thru! looks like my nails agree that this should be my new fave game! ### 5/5 — Tap Away 3D *2026-06-02, version 168.0.0* I like this game ### 5/5 — GMP *2026-05-29, version 168.0.0* Good game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
