Many add are way to long! ### 2/5 — Expensive *2026-08-13, version 4.0.5* There’s no way to succeed in this game without spending real money. ### 2/5 — Disappointed - No free perks after a .99 cents magic offer purchase *2026-07-25, version 4.0.5* I’ve been playing this game for years and decided to make a one time purchase for some extra coins and tools but ever since I’ve done that, I can’t spin the wheel with ads, i can only spin once then have to pay extra for the 4 other spins. It’s no longer fun. Seems like a money grab after any kind of purchase. To think you’d be appreciated for supporting the game. Thumbs down. ### 3/5 — Good Game but no App support *2026-07-03, version 4.0.5* No app support for problems. My game won’t continue, being forced to use cash to buy purple gems to advance my game. Never figured out how to get purple gems. Ive played for years. I asked before but no response. ### 2/5 — Kicks you off the fortune tower when you get close to 100 wins, so you don’t get big bonuses. *2026-06-27, version 4.0.5* I like to play this game, but there are too many levels that are impossible to win. It’s frustrating and I don’t want to spend money to get to the next puzzle. It’s fun until it’s too frustrating, and it’s not fair that they kick you off the tower. ### 2/5 — Fun, but issues with ads *2026-06-17, version 4.0.5* Decent game, but lately the ads say reward granted but you can’t close the ad with the earned help. Just have to stop playing until they straighten this out. Cheated out of several rewards after watching an ad. No more! ### 2/5 — Been playing for years *2026-03-29, version 4.0.4* This is my favourite game, it keeps me busy and I’ve been dedicated to playing daily for a long time. Although, I’ve noticed in recent times, the support team not repairing bugs and taking weeks to respond to issues. For an app with so many users it’s disappointing and I’m sure it’s losing players daily. There hasn’t been an updated for over 2 months. Can someone just tell me if the developers have abandoned this app? ### 3/5 — Rarely get a 5 Star tile! *2026-03-28, version 4.0.4* Every time I land on a bonus card, I continually receive the same blue star tiles, usually 1-3 star tiles that I have already. Why is Tile busters so stingy with coughing up their 5-star yellow tiles even in Jumbo packs? I have been playing for a long time and can’t seem to make much headway in completing packs. I have 7 to go I believe, all 5 Star which can’t be traded, not that I would know how! Also, explain the rules of the Carnival please. I can’t seem to get the hang of the hammer game. Nothing worse than seeing an aspect of the game without rules. Update: game now crashes in the middle of gameplay. It has done it many times over the past 6 months or so, even with updates. When it does, it is infuriating. I will be at a high level in game play, i.e. mid 100s and suddenly the game will go black then back to my iPad Home Screen. Opening app back up thrown me back to the bottom at Level 1 to start over my climb to the top! Bummer! Again, TB is stingy with it’s yellow 5-star cards. I have actually finished all game levels of playing (all worlds), and it has started over. It added 2 new worlds, and in the middle of those, my game play froze after completed 3 1/2 objects in the “world”, and I am stuck there. Although it allows me to continue playing, I can’t complete the set of 5. Again, frustrating and confusing. I may delete the game. It is no longer relaxing. Beginning to give me a headache and sometimes anxiety! I shouldn’t allow something so trivial as a game to do that. An addiction, I suppose! Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a patch? ### 2/5 — App bloquée *2026-03-21* au niveau 11 qui en plus n’est plus réalisable. Supprimée. Et puis, pour commencer un nouveau jeu après une pause, bam une pub!!!! ### 3/5 — New Decks *2026-03-06, version 4.0.4* I think it would be helpful if new decks of cards were introduced to those who have acquired all of the original decks. It would be a great way to incentivize those who have passed thousands of levels, because once you have earned all the cards, the game loses its appeal of “playing to win” something. If that makes sense. Just a thought. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-02-09, version 4.0.4* I’ve been playing this game for a few years and have loved it! I’ve beaten it several times and started over at level 1 until they released the new levels. Just recently I decided to purchase the “no ads” option and once I did that, all the free play options disappeared. It’s no longer fun and I won’t be playing anymore. I can’t believe I spent $$ for nothing! So disappointing that I gave my money to a game to who doesn’t appreciate their loyal players! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-29, version 4.0.4* Too many adds. Even in a time challenge you are forced to watch ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game ruined *2026-08-04, version 4.0.5* I used to love this game and would play every day. I was even happy to make an occasional purchase to support the game. However, the latest update has removed the option to get a bonus by watching ads and this means that it’s impossible to pass some levels without spending money. This isn’t fun anymore and feels quite nasty. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-05-29* Приложение не открывается. Очень долго грузится - Loading. Потом пишет, что нет интернет-соединения. Хотя оно есть. Удаление и переустановка не помогли. Служба поддержки никаких решений не предлагает кроме повторение одного и того же: удалите и установите заново. Полное разочарование в работе создателей приложения. ### 1/5 — AVOID *2026-05-07, version 4.0.5* Cheats. Fails u off w/o cause. AVOID ### 1/5 — 와 개당황스럽네 *2026-04-01* 폰 바꿔서 옮길려고 로그인했더니 거의 3000찍은거랑 템 산거 싹 다 초기화 됨 ㅅ /ㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ **Developer response:** 이 문제에 대해 고객지원팀에 문의하셨나요? 아직 문의하지 않으셨다면 다음 경로로 문의해 주세요: 메뉴 > 설정 > 지원. ### 1/5 — Over charges account *2026-03-27, version 4.0.4* I’ve had this game for may years and within the past year or so have been severely over charged when making a purchase. Watch your bake accounts if using this game! ### 1/5 — Lives *2026-03-22, version 4.0.4* Every day, for the past week, when I log in and should have 5 lives, I end up losing a life. I really hope this can be fixed, because it’s really annoying to lose a life, for just logging in. ### 1/5 — Gets to where you can’t win without spending money too quick. *2026-02-27, version 4.0.4* I like to play this game, but there are too many levels that are impossible to win. It’s frustrating and I don’t want to spend money to get to the next puzzle. It’s fun until it’s too frustrating. ### 1/5 — Casse-tête hebdomadaire *2026-02-23, version 4.0.4* Ce défi hebdomadaire est très amusant, mais 2 fois sur 3, le lendemain, le jeu me demande de le recommencer comme si je ne l’avais pas fait la veille. Très très frustrant d’être obligé de se taper toutes les publicités pour refaire le défi !!! 😡 ### 1/5 — .. *2026-01-19* Игра интересная, но зависает каждые минут 5 **Developer response:** Have you contacted the support team about this issue? If not, please do so by following these steps: Menu > Settings > Support. ### 1/5 — No for me *2026-01-17, version 4.0.4* I just started playing this game a couple of days ago. Instantly hooked. But now I’m in levels 400+ and whoever decided to add the frogs completely ruined the game for me. It’s no longer skill and strategy, now it’s also luck and completely frustrating! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-26, version 4.0.5* I’ve spent maybe less than $10 for boosts and I’m on level 11310 this game is absolutely able to be beat without paying. When will the trade corner be working!! I have so many tiles I want to trade! To complete my sets ### 5/5 — Great gameplay, star calculation needs fixing *2026-06-29, version 4.0.5* I love this game. However the star calculation is off, my weekly tally doesn’t match my efforts, with some not being counted. This is frustrating. I hope it is fixed soon ### 5/5 — Always return to it *2026-05-20, version 4.0.5* I tend to take a break from playing any games every once in a while, but this game is always the first that I return to. In fact, I take a break least from this game of any other. It is fun to change up the tiles and continue to challenge your brain. ### 5/5 — Interesting game. *2026-04-19, version 4.0.4* I really like this game. It’s not just about selecting the right tiles, but also about memory. ### 5/5 — Игра *2026-03-30* Игра перестала работать. Когда она заработает? **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the game does not work properly. You could try to re-install the game. Don't worry, you won't lose your progress.

It’s challenging, sometimes frustrating but really fun and enjoyable. It’s definitely one of the best on the market. Ads are annoying but it’s fine. ### 5/5 — 😔 *2025-10-29* Мне очень нравится это игра, но на более высоком уровне не загружается, верните игру 🥺 **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.
