Closing and reopening would fix this, so it wasn't a big deal. But now, the message remains even if you abandon the game and try to start over. This adds frustration to an otherwise fun game. ### 4/5 — One of my go tos *2014-05-31, version 7.2* I play this game all the time. It would definitely be improved with an undo feature. Overall it's one of my favorite games. ### 4/5 — Facebook *2014-05-31, version 7.2* Still playing on my iPad original. Up until a day or so ago I was able to connect to Facebook for extra pins and rotates. No longer can. Bummer. ### 4/5 — Wonderfully Addicting *2014-05-28, version 7.2* Definitely needs an Undo button. Also-- please make a way to get past level 16 or so. I've been playing for over a year and have yet to do it. ### 4/5 — Tap n pop *2014-01-12* Great game ### 4/5 — Tap n pop *2013-05-26* THE most addictive game EVER!! ### 4/5 — AnneMarie *2013-04-28, version 6.4* Addictive game that is a great way to pass the time when you have to wait. I feel that sometimes the game decides whether I do well or not - I don't like that. Like others have said, there's not enough incentive balloons and is too much a game of luck rather than skill. ### 4/5 — POP POP POP *2013-04-28, version 6.4* Addictive! Lots of fun! If you have played Poppit, you'll love this! Only problem is having to tap more than once to pop- but not a Big deal. Just sayin. ### 4/5 — Top dog *2013-03-31* A very entertaining game Makes you think and plan strategy. It's also very addictive. Keep up the good work ! ### 5/5 — Tap n pop *2013-03-18* Great game. Addictive and harmless. Wish there was an undo function. ### 5/5 — Very Addictive *2013-03-11, version 6.2* I don't usually like games but this one is very addictive. I've wasted many hours playing it. I almost wished I hadn't started playing it...lol. ### 4/5 — Tap *2013-03-01* You pop balloons sounds like fun. ### 4/5 — ? *2013-02-21* Passes the time ### 5/5 — Totally addictive *2013-02-19* Have been playing for months...totally addictive! ### 5/5 — Tap n pop *2013-02-14* Great game, once you start you can't stop. ### 5/5 — Needs undo *2013-01-27, version 6.2* Often hit the wrong ball by mistake. Need undo button! Have written several times about it. Frustrating to play as long as I have and not break level twenty or 10K. Have gotten all achievements except one, which I suspect unlocks more features. Love the challenge, but highest I've gotten is level 19. My scores, though good for this phase, can't compare with the huge scores on the leader board. There must be more phases to unlock, otherwise, how could people be getting over 100k and over! ### 5/5 — Tic toc *2013-01-24* Love this game. Still enjoy after 3 yrs. ### 3/5 — Bonus *2013-01-20, version 6.2* I love the game. But the the option where the diff color balls get to together Doesn't always work. Many times when u use the bonus it just mixes the balls without putting same colors together Thanks but its supposed to mix the like color at one spot. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You Ruined It *2023-10-19* The balloon game and you managed to ruin it! Too small; ads, ads and more ads. Everybody is just going to delete it. Toooo bad! ### 1/5 — Lite is better *2012-03-11* Forget buying it the lite version is heaps better. As soon as you pay there are heaps less pins, shakes and turns. ### 1/5 — Update ruined *2012-02-14, version 5.7* Can't play since most recent update. Needs fixed Asap $2.99 is alot to pay when it is broken by the maker!!! Installed newest update still having problems. After releasing prizes they stay on screen and acting as if the board is not cleared usually starts at level ten. Can't progress. NEEDS FIXED!!! ### 1/5 — New Version Fails to Play, Even After Reinstall *2010-04-22, version 0* Love the game, but latest update fails to play. Will open, and then when "new game" selected, game just closes. Removed app, and reinstalled on my iPhone 3G, still does not play. iPhone up to date, app up to date. Never had this problem with any earlier version. Really needs to be fixed. Miss playing the game! ### 1/5 — Tap 'n' pop *2010-02-13* Waste of money, it is exactly the same as the free version, no extras like different colours etc as promised. ### 2/5 — PREMATURE ENDING! *2012-08-05, version 6.0* I love this game and am totally addicted o it, but I can only give it 2 stars because it CONSTANTLY kicks me out of the game saying that I have no more moves left when I CLEARLY still have either turns or pins left. You have made many updates to this app, but none of them have fixed this issue. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Tap n pop *2012-03-20, version 5.9* Love this game! Surprised though that with all the updates that the balloon that removes all of one color still has a glitch..leaving many piled upon themselves on the 2nd to last row from the right. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I will give 5 stars once this is fixed!! ### 2/5 — Loved it but dislike the new shake update *2011-11-25* I really liked this app and bought after trying out the lite version, but after downloading the update with the shake option I've stopped using it. For one it's not as good with the shake and for two I feel ridiculous shaking my phone in public. Change it back please or provide both options. ### 2/5 — Won *2010-02-10, version 0* I'd rate it 4 dots, but it doesn't work so have to give it 1. I purchased the full app and now it does not open. Thoughth perhaps there was an upgrad to purchased again. Paid TWICE. Guess what...it still does not open. Not sure what to do. Can't find "Support" for apps. ### 2/5 — Don't update! *2010-01-31, version 0* I've learned the hard way, when I get notified of updates, I wait and read other comments of those who updated. So far I've now reached notification of 4 updates this month, and still I won't update...all 4 are reporting crashes, freezes, and just not working. So, I don't understand why they update when it makes the program worse??? I'd be very upset with this app since this is one of my favorite games. I'm just glad I waited and now I won't update so I can keep playing it. Too bad they don't have a way of undoing an update! Anyway, take my advice, when you get notification of an update, don't do it until you read others comments. Otherwise you end up losing money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2021-01-15, version 7.3* Have enjoyed this for a long time ### 5/5 — Addictive *2014-08-04, version 7.2* I love this game.

But is definitely fun to play! New options for clearing rows or sets of balloons come along with updates from time to time to keep this game fun and to renew ones interest in it!! You've been warned . . . now enjoy!! ### 5/5 — Addictive game *2014-05-07, version 7.2* Love the new background! This is one of those games that I keep coming back to.
