### 5/5 — Ultimate jewel

I absolutely love this game. It’s so fun to play. I try out scoring each level but it depends on the position of the key. Love also there are no ads.

### 5/5 — Ultimate Jewel

GREAT GAME ADDICTED ‼️✨✨✨✨

### 4/5 — Splashing Animation DISTRACTING

*2024-06-15, version 2.20*

All was great with the game, having played the night before. Today I decided to play for a while and now each time I score a hit, an animated splash appears and a numbers score that is highly annoying. Why did you add this to an otherwise perfectly executed and sophisticated game?!? This game’s design is too small to add anything else to the board. I can’t play anymore, it’s too juvenile now and no longer fun. This was my favorite game. Please remove the splashes and numbers when a score is made. It was a perfectly designed game and now it’s just plain annoying. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Publicité arnaque au deuxième niveau

*2024-04-01, version 2.20*

At the second bloc of difficulty after around 70 and some others, will appear seamingly unharmfull publicly. But after that, you will see your screen on your phone is blocking. Then they try to sell you an app to cancel this freeze. After that their publicity shows you a screen as if you had an active virus attack and then You Guess it well: they try to sell you an app for that as well!!!
Beware!!

Il y a plus de 70 stades au premier niveau. À partir du deuxième niveau apparaît de la publicité. Mais après ça ça s’empire! Ils essaient de te vendre un programme parce que effectivement depuis que ce jeu a été téléchargé, il y a un blocage anormal où t’es coincé à un endroit spécifique dans ton écran de téléphone. Ça ne s’arrête pas là! Ils essaient ensuite de te vendre une application d’antivirus en te faisant croire que ton smartphone est parasité par un virus! Aussitôt que j’ai vu ça, j’ai supprimée ce jeu et c’était la meilleure chose!!! Encore mieux pour moi ç’aurait été de ne jamais l’avoir téléchargé!

### 5/5 — Ultimate Jewel,  what is the highest score on the puzzle of this game.?

*2024-01-21, version 2.19*

My husbands puzzle score is # 152,575,734.. is there someone with a higher score? His name is Paul.

### 4/5 — Sound!

*2023-11-28, version 2.15*

Sound keeps playing even though it’s completely off.
