However the powerups are color coded in this game, and also cannot be double tapped to use at any time, which makes them feel a mostly useless. Generated power up’s often just sit untouched for ages because there are no possible matches near them at that time. This is made even worse by the fact that combining two different types or colors of power up requires them to be immediately next to each other. So say you have a red bomb then a regular blue candy, then a green line clear, you can’t use any of it because you can’t just swap the bomb or line clear with the blue candy to make the powerups touch and go off separately like you can in other games. Also the everlasting gobstoppers, which are this game’s color bomb, seem to just get destroyed by other powerups without ever actually getting used. I have them just get eaten off the board constantly, sometimes within the same turn they’re generated, so I don’t even get a single chance to use them. They should at least auto select a color and go off if they’re hit. And in this developer’s Harry Potter themed march 3, the color bombs never get used unless the player specifically uses them, and power up’s are also not color coded. I wish they’d go back and fix the mechanics in these older games because wonka themed match 3 is a great idea, but not with these rusty and frustrating mechanics. Also I’ve created an account by logging in with apple, and it constantly signs me out. Like if I leave the game overnight or for a few hours, I almost always have to log in again every time. I don’t know what happens if you play without logging in at all. Maybe your progress just gets deleted every few hours. ### 2/5 — CHANGE CHAMPION LEVELS!!!!!! *2026-08-25, version 1.90.3052* I love this game EXCEPT once you reach the Chocolatier Champion levels you play the EXACT SAME LEVELS OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It is so ANNOYING to get there only to have to beat the same levels that have been there. Am I the only person noticing this?!? ### 2/5 — STILL Can’t open Wonka Bars!!! *2026-07-18, version 1.89.3043* UPDATE!! Normally I love this game but I am so annoyed that my NOW 50 wonka bars are locked while the golden ticket is being revamped and it is capped out at 50!! SO ANNOYING Just rude even though more than likely I will probably only get maybe 15 actual boosts from them. Also so annoying that there aren’t new levels in the chocolatier champions either. Come on already ### 3/5 — Can’t open Wonka Bars!!! *2026-07-08, version 1.89.3043* Normally I love this game but I am so annoyed that my 45 wonka bars are locked while the golden ticket is being revamped. Just rude even though more than likely I will probably only get maybe 15 actual boosts from them. Also so annoying that there aren’t new levels in the chocolatier champions ### 4/5 — Great but buggy *2026-07-02, version 1.89.3043* I’ve been playing this game forever, but recently wonka bars and golden tickets can’t be accessed So there’s a message about an exciting new feature. When is this feature coming and when will it release my 21 wonka bars and 4 golden tickets? It’s been a couple of wheels -m- I’m on Level4633 Special Area The Candy Station - - I’ve tried customer chat, but it’s going around in circles so thoughts I’d take a punt here ### 2/5 — ❤️this game BUT *2026-06-25, version 1.89.3043* I have asked support for help but nothing. I cannot access the golden ticket part of the game which has pretty much locked me out. FIX THIS. Says COMING SOON. ### 3/5 — Too slow and too fast *2026-04-17, version 1.85.3019* The tips flash across the screen too fast to read while the movement of the game itself is quite slow. Moving faster during rebuild tasks would make for smoother more enjoyable game play. ### 3/5 — It’s not bad *2026-04-15, version 1.85.3019* It’s a good time killer BUT I paid for no ads and I’m still getting them. I’ve done all the steps to fix it and they either don’t work or if they do only last until you stop playing. That is frustrating and annoying. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-01-22, version 1.85.3019* I assumed this was a Match 3 games but unfortunately this isn’t. You have to collect each star my playing each level, then build. But you cannot move to next level until you collect each star or stars!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Old Game *2026-08-11, version 1.90.3052* Old game that restarts constantly because it’s old. Boring compared to newer games. ### 1/5 — Where’s the rewards? *2026-08-03, version 1.89.3043* Earned Wonka bars and Golden Tickets have been frozen for a month! The same ‘coming soon’ message hasn’t changed. What’s up? U don’t like people playing the game? ### 1/5 — Ugh *2026-07-31, version 1.89.3043* I deleted this game a long while back. Just downloaded it again with the hope the “No internet” issue would be fixed…. But NOPE!! Gotta delete it again ### 1/5 — Waiting for the Wonka bars to return! *2026-07-28, version 1.89.3043* What are you all doing/ / ### 1/5 — Full game no longer functions *2026-07-18, version 1.89.3043* This used to be a fun but half of game is now unavailable for updates that have been “coming soon” for months. Game support through developers is also lacking. ### 1/5 — And yet another week goes by and this stupid surprise you say is round the corner ISNT IS IT? AGAIN *2026-07-09, version 1.89.3043* Where’s the new game in the gold tickets it’s said it’s coming for over 5 weeks now? Please get this sorted, surely it doesn’t take over 6 weeks to do it!! The ordinary game is ok but the golden ticket game was better so I think I’ll stop playing the ordinary game till the other one is installed…..best we just delete the game it’s not worth it now. You won’t publish this because your sort of people don’t publish the truth about things do you??? ### 1/5 — New game still not here, it’s over 2 weeks now *2026-06-30, version 1.89.3043* Where’s the new game in the gold tickets it’s said it’s coming for over 2 weeks now? Please get this sorted, surely it doesn’t take over 2 weeks to do it!! The ordinary game is ok but the golden ticket game was better so I think I’ll stop playing the ordinary game till the other one is installed….. ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work *2026-05-13, version 1.85.3019* When u open the app it says cannot connect to the internet when u are connected to WiFi u get the same message ### 1/5 — Zero stars! *2026-03-17, version 1.85.3019* Don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — What a money grab!! *2026-01-27, version 1.85.3019* Come on now developers….stop with the fake positive reviews and take in what real players are saying. You have to go through about 10 screens before you actually get to play the game. They push, and they push, and they push their coin packages. They make the games so very difficult, it is impossible, and I mean, impossible to get through a level without spending money on power ups. Even when you do buy a power ups package, it’s very meager for the large amount of money you spend. You will go through it like water. It’s a money grab, plain and simple. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ужас *2026-08-15, version 1.90.3052* Очень сложно уровни сделайте их чуть легче ### 5/5 — ADDICTIVE & YUMMY 🍫🍩’ very addictive’! *2026-08-15, version 1.90.3052* Very addictive’ chocolate heaven’ once you take a bite, you cannot stop’ such such yummy graphics’ leaves you aching for more Lee Evans ### 5/5 — i love this game! i am obsessed with this game!
