Barely any game play. ### 3/5 — Love Tetris, but… *2026-08-24, version 7.7.9* The advertising is impossibly intrusive. It leads to advertisements that won’t X out no matter how long you wait it out, even if/when you download the advertisement’s product ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-22, version 7.7.9* I wish there was no adds but I love the game I am on level 37 now ### 4/5 — Marathon is impossible *2026-08-22, version 7.7.9* Marathon goes way too fast so fast you don’t have a chance to place the block and it randomly places the block and after a few seconds boom it says block out and you lose I hate that it does this. FIX THIS RIGHT NOW 😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 2/5 — Too many annoying ads *2026-08-22, version 7.7.9* Too many annoying ads ### 3/5 — Too many ads, no point in coins *2026-08-21, version 7.7.9* too many ads, you can purchase no ads but only for a certain amount of time. should be a one time purchase or get rid of ads all together. Also there’s no real fun point in earning coins. I wish they had a shop to buy themes or avatars with the coins you earn ### 3/5 — Ads hell *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* Way too many ads. Every opportunity they can find, they insert ads. Games’s great but the ads are too much ### 1/5 — Max ensh*ttification *2026-08-19, version 7.7.9* Play this if you like watching commercials ### 1/5 — ruining a good game *2026-08-19, version 7.7.9* this game replaced the only 'normal' version of tetris when it was removed from the app store, and has undergone a bunch of nasty changes. the amount of ads and money they seek from you is insane given playing this on a nintendo ds is more appealing; i just want to play PLAIN tetris, without pvp or battle royale or these weird elements!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* Listen I love Tetris and I don’t mind even paying to not watch ads but it being 30 days only is absolutely ridiculous and an ad after every single game is annoying. Hopefully they actually do something to fix this but probably not, extremely disappointed in one of the best games ever, do the devs even play the game cause they’d hate watching an ad every 2 minutes like A NORMAL PERSON ### 1/5 — DAMN ADS *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* TELL ME WHY I WAS HAVING A CRAZY MARATHON GAME AND AN AD PLAYED AND DIDNT PAUSE MY GAME?? SO IT JUST SOLD ME FOR NO DAMN REASON 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* The ads make this game so unenjoyable. This port of Tetris is pretty bad gameplay- wise as well. I’d recommend skipping this. ### 1/5 — Mid game ads *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* I love Tetris but why are there video ads that pop up in the middle of the game and make me lose wtf. It’s making the game unplayable. Inexcusable problem lock in Tetris. ### 1/5 — Actually mad *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* First time ever writing a review bc brother what was that, downloaded Tetris for the first time in a while and did an endless run, was going really far then for some reason they thought it was a good idea to have ads at the bottoms of the game while you play and I tapped it while playing and it went full screen and kept the game running in the background, genuinely what is that, having ads is one thing, but having them where your player is tapping all the time is scumy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolute scam of a game *2026-08-23, version 7.7.9* Total scam, horrible unskipable ads. Paid version is not even permanent. ### 1/5 — It’s bad *2026-08-22, version 7.7.9* Bad no recommend ### 1/5 — Ads are horrendous *2026-08-22, version 7.7.9* It always annoyed me that there were so many ads. But I love Tetris so I dealt with it for a while. At least the ads were in between rounds and when you opened the app. However, now they literally play SEVERAL ads in the middle of playing a level. It’s absolutely unplayable now. App is deleted. ### 1/5 — Can’t reset to level 1 *2026-08-21, version 7.7.9* I’ve tried to delete and redownload the app but it’s connected to your username. So it went back to the level I left off at. I tried to delete my account, but the form needs my email but apple hides my email. Why is this endless? I’m tired of every app needing an account and making every step of the process difficult ### 1/5 — Mid game ads *2026-08-21, version 7.7.9* I love Tetris but why are there video ads that pop up in the middle of the game and make me lose wtf. It’s making the game unplayable. Inexcusable problem lock in Tetris. Edit: I’m not sure where you want me to respond but my phone model is iPhone 16 IOS 26.6. Video ads will come up on the bottom of my screen while playing and then go full screen suddenly, without pausing the game so it makes me lose. It hasn’t happened in a bit though. ### 1/5 — Slop *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* AI slop code ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* It doesn’t load. Why do I need the internet to play tetris to begin with??? Just a shame. ### 1/5 — Tetris Under Capitalism *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* This is not like old-school Tetris, where you can go on forever and ever, and the game gets progressively faster. Instead, it’s broken up into tiny little games, which are too short to utilize any real strategy. After a minute or less, the game ends and you’re shown an ad, which is impossible to get out of. You can probably pay to get rid of the ads, but there’s no way I’m going to do that. I also get really tired of not being able to play Tetris the way it should be played. So thank you, Capitalism, for ruining yet another American institution. ### 1/5 — Not fun with ads *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* Annoying ads ### 1/5 — trashed with ads *2026-08-19, version 7.7.9* videos pop up mid-marathon without pausing, ads for trasg games pop up between every single game. disappointed in tetris. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stuck on black screen *2026-08-23, version 7.7.9* Doesnt let you play the game at all. Downloaded it and the screen is just black. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* My favorite game ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-20, version 7.7.9* One of the Bests games ive ever try ### 5/5 — Anyone else *2026-08-19, version 7.4.3* I went to play and it said I needed a update so I go to the AppStore and all it shows is open app someone help ### 5/5 — Still the best! *2026-08-19, version 7.7.9* Love Tetris! It’s still the classic game you love and a great way to pass some time or get a quick fix. Play the original mode or the challenges. I would suggest paying for ad free. Fair price and you get to support the developer. Would love to see more of the classic themes. ### 5/5 — Good thing to do when bored *2026-08-18, version 7.7.9* I like this game when I’m sitting down not doing much I want something to do. I place some Tetris feel so much better makes my day feel brand new. ### 5/5 — Top 5 Game of All Time *2026-08-13, version 7.7.9* I would pay an exorbitant amount of money to get a no ads version of the game ### 5/5 — Five stars *2026-08-13, version 7.7.9* Sure you get adds but you get to try out the game in the add best dollar I ever spent ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-10, version 7.7.9* Fun to do on a rainy day ### 5/5 — Tetrisss *2026-08-07, version 7.7.9* I just love this game. I played so many levels and didn’t really care about the ads because they’ve gotten shorter now. And I love playing marathon. I’ve been playing this game probably when I was 9. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
