Community Insight:
You may wonder why only three stars if theres only one problem? Well its a big problem for us! The game can only be played in portrait mode and we use our iPad almost exclusively in landscape mode so when we download games that can be only played in portrait mode we just delete them but only after we request that they make it playable in both modes and just an FYI that has only happened twice but we sure was grateful and continue to play those two games for 6 years now for 1 and 8 for the other one! So Im asking Dear developers could you please cater to both users and make the game playable in landscape mode along with your only option of portrait mode? Please.
Hi we that you Dr Drop the age group down so they can do that so like if they put 2 over 5 they would ask you what is 2+ 5 you would have to answer.
It is a fun game to play letting the time pass.
We like trying to figure out how to get the most points without being rushed to race the rows being added. We would like it better if it wasnt a race with time.
This game has too much ads but its still so fun.
For some reason every time we play this game our winning coins do not show up. We cannot afford to buy coins from your store. Please fix this issue or explain yourself. Thanks. Or maybe not.
It is fun and addictive. The only thing we dont like is that if you want extra bombs or scissors, you need to spend real cash as well as your coins.
This game is ridiculously add ictive to us and we find ourselves switching between phone and iPad just to have instant gratification during ads! We love it and have to force ourselves to stop so we can complete our daily tasks. Only complaint we have is when it wont let us choose the 3-line option in lieu of the 5-line option when Ithe dont have enough coins for the 5-line. It doesnt freeze it only allows the option for the 5 and then we have to purchase more coins to continue or turn machine off and on to reset.
We love this game and we play it often! We would love to have an endless option that is untimed with the goal of clearing the board.
We like it but we wish the numbers went higher than 20.
Videos not showing to collect coins. Did an update and its still not working.

We tried to opt out of all the ads but was asked a lot of personal questions so we stopped. But the game when you can play they the ads is great.
Star/clear boost is not working. Very frustrating. We uninstalled and reinstalled the game but still not working. We lost all our coins, our high scores, everything and still not working. Please fix. This is a great game that we play more than we should. Fixing this glitch would make it a 5-star Gand.
The upgrades are ruining the game.
We love this game but the ads are out of control. There is no reason to pause for a 30 second ad for reaching 15 and 20. Come on it is totally ridiculous.
This game gives you lots of stress.
This game is so fun! But maybe make it a 2000 puzzle. Very satisfied.
We dont normally write reviews but this game is worth it. This game is some what intense and stimulates the mind vey will. This game doesnt really require any skill is more of just putting two of the same numbers together. It doesnt have any ads or we dont notice many but this game is 10/10 highly recommended.
This game is addictive and calming.
We love it, how there isnt that much ads and just the fun of this game.
We were lov9ng the game, dont mind purchases at all. But now that we know the numbers do not go higher than 20 its a big letdown. Why keep playing one there is a plateau.
We were obsessed with this game for a long while. We still play it because it helps with our anxiety butttt the last several games we have played, we never received our coin reward. We made it to almost 1.4 million, and never received our 2000 plus coins. Its unfortunate because we have spent actual money to buy coins and tools in the game. We used those during the big game we had, thinking we would replenish our coins when the game ended, but that wasnt the case. We have put in a ticket for a bug in the game and have tried emailing their support and so far nothing has been done. It makes us not want to play the game :(.
This games concept is great and it is challenging but unless you purchase a lot of the bells and whistles it is frustrating to achieve a high score even after playing a good while it just stays the same. The feed of numbers from the bottom has no logical sequencing.
Game is fun but too quickly sabotages ability to make progress. So instead off being fun, it becomes a bit frustrating. Too many ads and interruptions. Still, fun to play.
Buy no ads and STILL have to watch ads.
The number of ads per game is ridiculous. They have also gotten longer. This morning the first one was 60 seconds. You cant interrupt it. Im done. There are much better apps out there.
Too many ads. And no way to purchase game. So sad, because its been our favorite. Just can deal with the numerous annoying ads.
Great game really love it. You all should really add mini games to the game.
Please connect our internet to this merge block game.
We played this game all the time. Now when we open the app, we get to the game and it freezes. Nothing we do changes it. So disappointed because this was that game we use to veg after work. It was one of our all -time favorites.
We get that ads allow the developer to provide the games for free, but the number of ads that pop up every few months take all the enjoyment out of the game.
It helps us keep calm in stressful situations and its just overall really enjoyable.
Ive been playing this game for at least over a year with no issues. The daily challenge today was to make 8(20s). We did and received our first award which was 6 bombs. We tapped the video and watched it but when it was time for our reward our screen went blank and did not recover until we completely got out of the game and came back in. No continuation of the 2 videos and the awards.
We just love this game, except that we spend way to much time playing it, Its intense yet relaxing, l am looking forward to an upgraded version.
This game is a lot of fun and very addictive. But we wish it had a relax option or something where the lines didnt come so quickly so we could just play a game indefinitely. The challenge mode is fun for sure. But if we wanna play before bed or sometime Im not trying to be in a rushed headspace we cant play this game anymore. Would love it about a thousand times more if there was a relax mode.
Ive been playing this game a lot. But for some reason, they now have too many ads. Heck, if you even pause the game, you have to watch an ad.
If you like playing a fun game and dont mind that you can only play for 1-2 minutes before a 45-60 second ad pops up, then this game is for you. It certainly wasnt for us.
The most recent update messed up the app. No longer loads the game. On the off chance the app does load, the game is frozen. Its useless at this point.
This game has way to much lag for no apparent reason if we move one block and go to move another the first one pops up like we are still dragging it and gets in the way but the clock never misses a beat.
This game is fun but there are so many ads it kills it. So many it makes us not want to play.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It has SOO many ads. You can play for a few mins at first then the ads start as soon as you delete a row. SO frustrating.
After the start up screen, we get the screen that says tap to continue, but nothing happens. It has been like this for weeks. We cant play at all.
Why did you have to ruin the game by updating it?? Now the blocks move too slow, and the only problem it had before, where the blocks couldnt merge at the moment the board went up, was not fixed! And now too many blocks lock together. All our high scores are gone too. But now Ill never reach those high scores again anyway. This used to be our favorite game, but not anymore.
Why do we get three sets of coins at the end of a game? We dont need coins, give us everything else.
Coins are not easy to get and boosters cost more coins. Too many advertisements and not able to collect coins even after watching advertisements and spinning is also no use.
Love the game but very frustrating. Ive never had a game with so frequent Ad Breaks! Im about to delete it! Id even pay to eliminate the ads and we never purchase apps. Please fix or see you.
We would like to see the game not end. Just continue on but challenge us at a reasonable speed. Also the splashes and stops totally get in the sight of the numbers causing fails. Remove the win splashes please.
We were playing and we had scissors bombs and other tools then it all disappeared.
We love this game when we are bored but when we really get into it well we dont wanna play it anymoreI suggest that you make mini games in the game like educational racing or something like that.
