Very fun....but.... A blast to play...but if you don't buy it, ad after ad after ad after ad, and ALWAYS at the most inopportune time during the game, to the point that it's miserable to play. Then there's the Black Screen of Death. It usually happens when you've almost completed a difficult stage, the app goes to ad, but all you get is a black screen with no way to exit short of closing the app. Fix the BSOD, run the ads between stages and not during play, and this would be the funnest game

Edited: I did pay the $5 for ad-free. But, there's a huge glitch with the Cake Baking Competition within the guilds. Even if you win, you lose because the game freezes and you have to close/re-open. Really fun puzzle game. You get to unlock new tiles, which makes the pile that much harder to sort through. For now, all levels are a pile of items; but I'm excited to unlock the other puzzles (once I find them). Just starting out and I'm on about level 20, but I'm really enjoying the game so far!

Never really gets challenging. Played to level 333 and it never got noticably harder, just more pieces, but also more time to match them. No variety. Level rewards are negligible. Ads at times were very distracting, popping up right in mid tap, causing me to miss combos, at other times, they didn't play at all. Overall looked good, played good ( no ad crashes) but just never changed or gave me anything to look forward to in the next level. Too easy.

I understand the need for ads. I don't even care if one plays at the beginning and end of every level. It's not cool when you are interrupted in the middle of a level by an ad. Just when you get your mind fully engaged in a level and have a decent rhythm going; here comes an ad to throw your whole level off balance. When you get to higher levels it makes winning a level virtually impossible. So sad. This game has potential but not worth the frustration of being set up to fail by ill placed ads.

This game is super fun but it has WAY too many ads and it literally stops you in the middle of your game multiple times for the ads. Just give ads in between each level. Also, I started noticing when it goes to an ad, the screen is just black with no way to X out of it. And it stays that way forcing me to close the app and reopen it having to restart my whole level over again

Too many ads! I understand ads come with free games but these are over the top! After a few rounds when I just started, an ad popped up after each game that was about 30 seconds long. The stages I was in took less than 30 seconds to play! Although I enjoyed the actual game, I uninstalled it. If it wasn't less frequent, I would have kept it.

AVOID THIS SCAM GAME! It's a kind of bait-and-switch, designed to trick you into getting invested in the game before revealing that the game becomes UNPLAYABLE if you don't pay ~$8 to remove ads. At first, the ads are tolerable: like many games, they show up between levels. But, the higher your level, the more ads you see. Until you're getting 3+ ads per level, and they often occur in the middle of a good streak, such that you click on the ad rather than the object & lose your streak.

I expect 'free' games to have ads, but this game takes them to a whole other level. It's after almost every turn & sometimes even DURING your turn. When it returns to the play board, the items are arranged differently-not helpful when you had eyes on something before the annoying ad. There is nowhere near enough time for some puzzles especially since some of the items are so tiny! I'm only playing because I thought it would be fun & fairly easy. It's neither. THIS GAME SUCKS.

Was fun to play for a while. I enjoyed the mini games too. But one you reach level 14 or so, ads start randomly in the middle of playing. Normally it would just be annoying but the game relies on you being fast and accurate. So you have to play, hope you don't accidentally click an ad, then lose your place because of everything, and run out of time anyways. Don't waste your time on this one.

This is a fun and challenging game. BUT the ads are ridiculous. During levels the game goes to ads every 20-30 seconds. Not between levels or to buy rewards. But during the levels you are constantly interrupted with ads. It is impossible to establish a rythym with this game. It is a shame because I like the game but the ads make it impossible to enjoy playing.

I generally dislike timed games, but I like the basics of this game. Not fond of the constant ads, but that's what you get with many free downloads. That's how they make money. I've run out of time a few times, which means diminished lives. The ad for this did NOT represent actual gameplay. I hate false advertising. And it crashes a fair amount of the time; also annoying because if it restarts, it takes a life with it.

MAKES ME VERY SAD Impossible to finish a turn without being interrupted during play for a ad. After my time runs out, etc then ads ok, some I click through. Being interrupted so often cannot enjoy the game. Sad because everything else is perfect. Ok, a few times what you tap on something a different item gets selected (but fewer times than other games). Objects are cartoon-ish but high quality from any angle. Display of what selected is great. AND APP IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

3/18-Fun. It's a great app to pass time. It gets more challenging as you rise in levels with more things to find. I don't like the fact that when it goes to an ad my screen blacka out and it's hard to get out of. When that happens I lose a wand towards the level I'm playing. Not cool. If that wasn't an issue, I'd give a full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! Please fix that blackout screen glitch. BTW, I have a pixel 4a. 4/07-Another issue, app gets stuck on the Downy ad without an exit option.

Agreed with others- too many ads and at the worst times in the middle of a level. Often distracts me and I can't finish the level anymore. Even worse,, recently, the game keeps crashing. It would seem like an ad is starting but my screen goes black with no ad. I wait and click around and nothing works other than force closing the app and reopening/replaying the same levels. It's happening more and more, multiple times in a sitting. Can this be fixed?

I love this game! It's entertaining and challenging. Problem is that it sucks also. Once you get around level 20 (level 37 this time) the game will (in the middle of you finding items in a search) cut to an advertisement, which frustrates you and when you dismiss the add a blank screen appears and you can't get back to your level. Even if you get out of the game and come back in sometime later, it starts at the beginning of that level and the cycle starts again, or it freezes.

This game is very challenging. I would give more stars if whenever I am in a game, it would not go into an ad and then freeze on me. I get the ads, but they shouldn't come on while in a game and then cause the ad to freeze, and you have to log out and on again. Missing your progress can be very frustrating.

The timer is set at 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Consistently. I have played several Hundred games. I have won one game. I would like it if the times change. Have it go up and down. If I am misunderstanding the game i need help. I really enjoy the game 3 8 24. I have been at 3 minutes per game for six weeks help. Could u change my time. Its stuck at 3. The computer finally changed the game board and I was able to do it in three minutes. If you guys did that thank you

Have to agree with all the other recent reviews. Initially, I loved the game; I understand that games are not non-profits, but THREE ads within the final 20 seconds of level 365 was unacceptable and just proves how greedy the developers apparently are. As another reviewer said, the game is barely playable now. I wouldn't pay to go ad free on this game even if I had the money. It deserves zero stars. Incidentally, the game frequently freezes during ads too. Don't waste your time on it.

The latest update ruined the game. The ads that used to appear as a banner at the bottom of the screen are now a rectangle that covers the content. It is impossible to remove pieces that are covered by the rectangle. Even when you select stop seeing this ad, the rectangle remains with the caption "Ad removed by Google." Don't waste your time on this latest version.

Ruined it! The newest ads from Google cover the bottom of the game and make it impossible to see half of it. I shouldn't have to pay for ad free just to be able to see thr whole screen. Deleting the game now since it's useless. Ya'll ruined it by making the ads way too frequent, long, and now covers a portion of the game. Total, epic fail on your part. There isn't even a way to X out of these ads...they just keep popping back up. Stupid.
