One of the best makers of games on App Store. Great game play original concept and I absolutely love it 😍. Completely hooked on it and never tire of it. Keep those games coming, I will keep downloading them. Well done!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎 ### 5/5 — Fun new game *2023-06-08, version 1.3* I have almost all of the Boy Howdy games and I love when a new one comes out. This is fun, although I am trying to get the hang of how the fruit pieces roll as they hit I don’t know if any hints in that, I have this desire to tip my iPad to get them to roll how I want, which of course does not work😁. The pictures to the left do show what the pieces become as you match two pieces together. This is another new fun game when you just want more relaxation along with a bit of strategy. As always well done boy Howdy, I always love your screen designs/graphics, very very easy on the eyes. Is there anywhere that shows how the scoring works? ### 5/5 — Addicted *2023-06-06, version 1.3* Totally addicted to this game great game & great way to waste time!! Keep the new games coming please. ### 5/5 — Watermelon jewels *2023-06-06, version 1.3* Very good game. I like it very much. ### 5/5 — Relaxing fun! *2023-06-06, version 1.3* The colorful fruit tumbling down the screen is a lot of fun to play! I enjoy every Boy Howdy game I try! ### 5/5 — Watermelon *2023-06-05, version 1.3* Best game yet, I don’t want to put it down ### 5/5 — Awesome FREE games *2023-06-05, version 1.3* All free. No kidding. Many, many options. And ALL FREE! Check them out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Boy Howdy games *2024-08-21* All are really free, small ad at the bottom that you can ignore or not as you please. Been playing several of their games for years & recently tried some other kinds - I hate the way they all say you can play without wifi, but you can’t progress in the game without it & endless tedious ads that take way too long & while you may get a little progress without it, you also don’t get your texts from family & friends ! Boy Howdy’s are truly free & relaxing! I recommend them all! ### 4/5 — The Best *2023-12-24, version 1.9* Which isn't to say we might not tweak a thing or two, like adding musicality to the jeweling, but on the whole, for a humorous as well as captivating game play, there is nothing better. ### 4/5 — Could Be Way Better ….. If *2023-06-22, version 1.3* Another fun Boy Howdy game. It took a bit to figure it out & it could be a really special game if you could maneuver the fruits by rotating & moving your phone around do they would fall & roll after you drop them. The fruits move a little by themselves but would be challenging & more fun if you had some control over them by moving your phone. ### 4/5 — Marty *2023-06-12, version 1.3* Great fun Wish there was a button to go back one step or undo for when you tap something by mistake ### 4/5 — Review *2023-06-07, version 1.3* I enjoy games by boy howdy. Haven’t played it long enough to see if I can develop strategies beyond the obvious. It’s a kind of end of the day game. Pleasant and relaxing. ### 5/5 — My new favorite game *2025-04-12, version 1.11* I love Boy Howdy games. They promise relaxation and they deliver every time. There is something for everyone. My new (and perhaps all-time) favorite is Watermelon Jewels. It’s so relaxing, and you can actually get better with it with practice as you begin to learn what might make the fruit move. At the rate I’m playing, I should have my Watermelon Jewels PhD by the end of the week. LOVE IT! Thanks, Boy Howdy, for another great game! 🍉🍈🍓🥰 ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🎖️🏅🎖️😄😄 *2024-10-23* This game has NO ADS and NO WI-FI NEEDED AT ALL!!! I do get really annoyed when I see in a random ad on another game said “nO aDs” in the advertisement and I go look at the reviews and it says it lied but THIS GAME HAS NO LYING 🚫 And thank you so much for telling the truth and I was really looking for a watermelon merge game with no ads and I was about to give up but then I found THIS!!!!! This game is really underrated but It is reaaaaally good, and most of the other famous games that are more popular, I see lots of people’s complaints about too many ads, but NO ADS HERE, Let’s say that again NO ADS HERE, Delete your other watermelon games which have ads and download this one now!! This should be in the “Must play” section of the apple App Store (you might not have that) but I have that section on my App Store. Thank you for creating this perfect game!!! ### 5/5 — Thank you Boy Howdy *2024-10-17, version 1.11* I appreciate your ad-free simple-concept games so much and have spent so many hours using them to decompress at the end of a long day. Thank you for making them available. You guys are the best. ### 5/5 — Love! ❤️ *2023-08-07, version 1.6* Bow Howdy is great and this game keeps me glued to my phone! I love it!!! My only problem is lately the fruit will touch, but it will not merge. Will you please make it recognize that it is touching the other fruit. Thanks for add free fun and a great game! ### 5/5 — Best game! 🏆🏅🏆🏅🥇🥇🥇 *2023-08-01* I love this game sooooo much! But there is one problem, if you are about to lose you can’t get any bombs or something to help. If you’d please fix the issue, I will appreciate it! Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still having stuck watermelons! *2023-07-21, version 1.5* I love your games! But I had a weird thing happen today: I closed the game just as a watermelon appeared. When I opened the game up later, the watermelon was still there! It never went away until I lost the game. Thanks for all these great games! ### 5/5 — Really Enjoy *2023-07-07, version 1.4* I really enjoy this game. It’s simple to use and entertaining. ### 5/5 — Watermelon Jewels *2023-06-16, version 1.3* It is delightfully addictive - thank you love it and play it a lot. Try to figure out sequences and dislike the strawberries. They always come along when they are least beneficial🤔 ### 5/5 — Entertaining but addictive *2023-06-15, version 1.3* A fun game of luck and skill. It’s become one of my favorites to relax and yet challenge my mind. Highly enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Addictive, super fun game, easy and relaxing to play *2023-06-13, version 1.3* Super fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
