Grand updates after several years, we hope you will love me much more!
1) Update the UI design, make it clean and clear, the new stars are very cool and cute;
2) Add duo-color stars and full-color stars, touch your finger wise;
3) Add 4 different game modes, besides the classic one,
- Rearrange Mode, refresh stars in different direction for different level;
- Infinite Mode, refill stars after a column is clean, make a good choice and guess the stars drop down;

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game..fun relaxing and enjoyable..try it..you will like it too.
Fun game but it freezes up a lot.
Ive bought 40 coins for .99 and get charged but they never show up. Whats up with that.
This is a cool game but please, please, please get rid of the share option. It's very annoying.
Just cuts off while your playing it.
Sometimes when we hit "Again" to try and take another stab at getting the "goal" (so that you can move on to the next round), it starts the game over with our goal being 1,000 but our points remaining the same.
We used to love this game, but when it was updated problems began. The game shuts down in the middle of playing. An add randomly cuts you off in mid-play…not nice. We're almost ready to delete it.
We just amazing, we do not need to worry about timing.
We recently paid $16.99 to purchase full app with no ADS. However there are still ADS at the bottom of the screen that annoy us. What do we have to do to remove these.
We find ourselves matching colors instead of doing our housework.
We were hot mad at the new update. Than we figured it out love the mode/levels and extra help.
We like this game but hate when have a lot of commercial pop up when we're playing – love old version more but just can't find it.
Was not really satisfied with the new update but apparently we got used to it.
We liked the old ones better. Also lost our purchases.
We played the original version for about a year and we've played this version for a few months. We didn't like the new colors and graphics but got used to them but not sure why the face lift. We hate the addition of the two color block. This game is all about strategy and the two color block hurts more the it helps. We think it should go. The frequent crashing has to be fixed.
We hate all the stupid pop up ads that come up and interrupt the game we bought the upgrade to avoid this we also don't like that to keep playing one has to buy coins.
We do not like this version as much as the old one. We may delete it if it doesn't change.
Give us back the old version and cut out all the ads.
Do not mess with something that is tried and true.
Just awful. Classic game ruined by silly gimmicks. Can't delete this one fast enough.
You took a game that we loved to play every day and turned it into one we will be removing from all of our devices. What were you thinking or trying to do? The old game had such good reviews, why change it? Newer doesn't always mean better.
Are you serious!!!!! Why in the world would you change this game! It was obviously great the way that it was! We liked the bright colors and the fact that it wasn't timed! You should offer both versions! This one really stinks!!!!!!!! Got to look for a new game now.
You mess up the game .our boyfriend is so up set he love that game .He was so unhappy with the new one .We. Will have to find a different game to play.
Old version was much better. The graphics are terrible.
We hate the new version. The old one was just fine and we enjoyed many years of play. We loved the format of the old one. Why didn't we have a choice of keeping the old version? You people messed up badly. D.Barnum.
It lost its simplicity and now is this busy confusing mess. Some colors are hard to distinguish. Worst of all this new version was foisted on us with no warning or choice when we updated the iOS. Sad. It was a good game. No more.
We've been playing the original version for years. Just opened it today and found the new version and we are not happy. The idea of different modes of play is good, but the set up is not that easily navigated. Can't stand all of the ads – ESPECIALLY SINCE we PAID FOR THE AD-FREE VERSION YEARS AGO ALONG WITH ALL OF THE UPGRADES! Now what?! Guess it's back to playing Bejeweled now.
Easy to play, we always keep it in our phone.
As easy as matching two stars of the same color, as complex as seeing patterns and knowing how the colors will fall. Do you try to eliminate 20 stars together for mega points or eliminate them all at the end for a level ending bonus? If you get stuck, there are brushes and bombs to help you to the next level. Great game when you have a little time to kill.
This is a wonderful game. We always enjoy it.
Love this game addictive and fun to play.
This game is addicting to us. We love it.
Bueno pa matar el tiempo libre, recomendado ms que el de los caramelos jajajajaja.
Addictive game but awful pop up ads.
Fun game that keeps u coming back.
Great game but pop up adds are super irritating.
Really addictive game! Reverse Tetris.
Game is awesome. Worst everything.
Great game! Keeps your mind thinking while keeping you entertained.
We love the game but the pop up ads are annoying.
Addictive game with NO directions. Please fix.
Our 69-year old mother LOVED this game. She played it for hours every day for the past year. We had apps set to update automatically. It CRASHES constantly, breaks in on your game with ADs. Oh, and the new UI is HIDEOUS, by the way. Black with depressing colors. The old UI was cheery and had pretty colors. Mom's been crying for the past half hour. We're going to have to spend this weekend repairing an old computer to see if we can restore the old version. Terrible mistake! Please bring back the old version. We'll PAY to make our mother stop crying.
This game is quite challenging and we like it that way.
Fun, addictive, great way to waste some time and time does fly playing it! Well done.
We can play it on break or cooking or waiting and it is fun.
Fun, addictive, would recommend.
Great game fun and comes in handy when your unwinding or killing time! We're hooked.
Fun game, great sound effects. Wish there were more ways to help get all the stars to leave the board.
A very nice & relaxing app to play.
It's ok not a favorite but kind of easy to get tired of.
