Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Done with this game. We used to like playing but lately even regular game is a nightmare to solve. We spent one and a half weeks of free play on the same board and we had been on it for a couple weeks before that. Only beat it by spending our only token. No longer relaxing just frustrating. Good bye.
This game needs a major overhaul! Runs slow and needs new board ideas!! As much as we play and love it…Im bored with it!!:(.
We love this game! You never get bored always new ways of playing. We love everything about Crafty Candy! There is two things we would change, potions like the old ways and more outfit variety. Otherwise this game is awesome better then a lot out there that are for the small minded! Xoxo.
Fun and enjoyable game moves fast.
The second we started playing we were addicted. Problem is we cant beat this one stupid level! ARGH THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Our frustration is at its max. This game crashes repeatedly and most often after watching ads and more disappointingly after beating levels. The game will not award any bonuses once it crashes, and progress is lost after a crash occurs following the completion of a level. Bonuses used in game will be recorded as used, despite the game losing track of the victory you just had. We are fed up with wasting time on ads with no bonus to show for it and Im tired of losing games because the game crashes so much. Fix the game, until then we do not recommend that you play this game. Uninstalled.
Another game forcing you to play a game where there is a ZERO chance of winning rounds. Pay and pay for boosters is the only way. Cash grab game. Dont play it. Pay to win.
We have been playing this game for years ! This is the only game make us continually play everyday! So fun and even there is some difficult levels, but it wont let you feel not to continue to try! We love it how it gives u a new life in 15min. Im at the top 4100 level now , we hope they can update new levels soon.
The game REPEATEDLY crashes after purchasing additional coins to complete a level. Not once, not twice, but over 5 times now we have purchased additional coins to complete a level. We finish the level, our points are tallied up, then BOOM! The game crashes. When we reopen the app, it brings us back to the level we JUST COMPLETED.
This used to be our favorite game, but they have made nearly impossible to get through upper levels and hardly any rewards anymore! We dont play for aggravation, we play for fun and relaxation but this game is no longer fun.
Fun game. Been playing for years. Now it says with the new update we need more storage. Well, we have more than 10 gigs on our iPad and we cleared the cloud. Even off loaded it and when reinstalled it still says Im out of space. Was at level 1880. Oh well.
Completed Level 89popup more storage needed we cleaned up storage and started all over with new install. Same error after completing level 89 again! Please advise if this will be fixed in next release. Ill update our review when fixed & after Im able to play level 90. But we do hope your QA team tests this bug. Thank you.
The game tells us we do not have enough space to get to the next level and we know we have enough space. Please help as we cannot play any longer.
Crafty candy has everything we love in a game. Challenge, different candys in each level! The graphics and towns are wonderful. Lots of hours of free playing. Love it.
Some are so hard that we dont ever want to go back to the game.
Update: Same complaint as before. Havent played in a long time, tried to pick it up again but cant. We usually need to switch in between apps while we kill time playing a game. Most match 3s allow this with no loss of progress, yet this game does not for whatever reason. Also, we cannot click on the level to begin playing because of the insanely cluttered UI. We have to click through whatever event to start playing our current level. This game used to be so good (years ago). Its gone downhill. We havent played in awhile, but now it forces a restart each time you swap apps, which means you lose progress and your life. Unnecessary greed by developers. Also, the pop-ups for events and spins and everything else ugh make it stop. We just want to come here to relax and pick up a game when time allows. Now we are forced to finish a level without stopping to switch apps. Lets be real, most people cannot do that.
One of our favorite games of all times.
Recently the app had been taking our money! Heres why we say this. While playing the game and after purchasing add ons for the game and we receive a text or phone call when we return to the app it makes us start the game over but has used up our add on.
Amazing so hard to put down! We love this game and we forgot about it until we were at the App Store we saw bubble witch and we gasped we wonder if they still have crafty candy?And they did! If you want an addictive fun keeps you up all nighter game go download this and get ready to spend all of your time loving and enjoying this game.
We played this for over 3 years and was up to level 650. Then all of a sudden we were down to 1. What a sad day. We dont want a Facebook page either.
We love to play this game! We are almost at level 2,000! It is never boring there is always something new to tackle! Thanks for keeping it entertaining.
What happened to the free Wednesdays.
This game really makes us think about what our next move should be.
This app is on every device we own for so many reasons: it is fun, challenging, has great graphics/music/sound effects and we can navigate to other OutPlay games within the game itself. We have been playing this one for years and probably always will. Highly recommend.
Not real happy about some of the sexually suggestive ads.
This newest update has cause the game to glitch. Now its totally frozen on the play page. No problems with other games on Zygna or Peak. Dont want to give it even one star.
We can be in the middle of a game and the app automatically closes then we use a life.
With the latest update the app with loading an ad doesnt have a countdown for the ad & then when closing the ad it just says potion wasnt finished & freezes. Aside from that a very entertaining game.

We really like this game A LOT more than candy crush. Its so much more fun to us. HOWEVER it has a tendency to crash at the WORST times. For example in the middle of a great winning streak when youve racked up special deliveries and extra goodies it will crash and boom have to start all over again. Very frustrating. Other than that we enjoy it a lot more than the other games in this genre and we looooove the unlimited lives weekends and holidays! Thanks for those.
Im on level 3652. We were stuck on level 3650 for months. You cant win any more unless you buy the items to help you win. You should be able to level up without having to buy the extra help. Now on level 3652 its the same thing. You do not receive enough tries in the levels for you to be able to win. You dont even get close to winning now. Completely frustrating.
We got to level 698 and it restarted.
There is no natural way to progress certain levels, unless you do them hundreds of times until you pass or you buy stuff. Period. For example a level requires you to clear 74 tiles with 16 moves! The odds are stacked against you. Compared to their popular match games, this is wayyyy below the standard – at least give more moves, faster way to get bonus pieces, and a way to earn coins. You guys are too stingy. We dont know why we still havent deleted this game.
It draws you in. You win a lot of levelsthen come the hard levels, that let you win just down to the last 3 or fewer moves. Then its pay to play. Sorry. We really enjoyed this game. But Im not paying to play.
We love this game. Cute graphics. We havent been playing but two weeks. No problems so far, like some others. Enjoying playing very much. We are not getting hardly any ads. Thanks.
Havent played ina while and came back recently. Now if we have to change the screen on our phone like a phone call, text message whatever it starts us over and takes hearts away. Guess we will take another hiatus and when we come back it might be fixed. IPhone 11 Pro Max.
Every time we try to play, the cup event screen displays and you cant get to the game Frustrating enough the levels are super hard, but this new problem may make it worth leaving,.
Deleted app. Irritating and not worth the trouble.
Im not sure why this game and updates are still available when there havent been any new levels in several months.
Whatever changes you recently made has caused glitches & games keep shutting down on us. Also, please add an undo button or prize. Sometimes we go to make a move & the piece doesnt go where we wanted to. Also, we have to wait for new levels & its getting annoying. Please add something to search for a specific level or level range. While we wait for the new levels we go play old ones. It takes a long time to find the level we want. Thank you.
Was a the same level for about 3 weeks. Previous two levels took over 2 weeks each. If this continues we will delete. We have played for several years. Not so much fun anymore.
Love this game so much thank you.
We like playing but we do not like that after so many days or tries that it will not let you win a level. We are frustrated and about to give up.
We love this game but jeez the levels are super hard anymore. Im on level 3384 and now it takes us weeks playing one level to beat it. Its very frustrating. We miss being able to have a good time playing Crafty Candy. Please stop making the levels so difficult.
Takes a long time to win. But when we win we feel we deserved it.
Once you get to a certain point, unless you want to spend loads of money, the game becomes impossible. We made it to the 1400s, and now we have been stuck on one level for months. We are deleting this now.
We're changing our review from when we first started playing. We're on level 620 now and have not been able to get past it for 3 weeks…we just don't have the patience anymore. They keep offering us free lives for several hours and that still doesn't help. It also takes forever to be able to create potions. We refuse to pay money to be able to beat a level. This game used to be our favorite matching game, but not anymore.
We first started playing it and our brother did too we have a little brother that 3 and a half years old.
Even though this game is one of the hardest Ive ever played it is also one of the best games around. We simply love and enjoy this game.
