Community Insight:
The game still crashes by going all white 50% of the time when we watch an ad to get a free boost. We wish they would fix that! Yes, we have the latest update.
We dont know what happened with this game. But it constantly keeps crashing. Very annoying. If its not fixed, we will have to uninstall.
This game do not satisfy our spectations withthe information offered.
Hate that we dont play this game since its only vertical – we only play games in horizontal mode. Pity – we wonder why you do this? Our iPad is easier to play if your games would be landscape position. So we deleted this one too.
Was a bit disappointed after we got up in the 1400 level that it reset back to beginning.
Made it to level 124, the limit of our skills. If we would like to continue, it would cost us money. Money is a hot commodity at our house. Im disabled you see, and our money must go for important things like FOOD and our MEDICINE. This game was a wonderful diversion for us from the pain we experience from spinal arthritis. We give you 2 stars because you misled us down a path without telling us there would be so much cost involved. For example: we were accumulating coins in a piggy bank! Oh boy! We were accumulating coins! Other games allowed us to accumulate virtual money that we could buy cool virtual stuff with. Well, you terrible people made us PAY FOR THE PIGGY BANK WHEN IT WAS FULL! Whats wrong with you people? We earned those freaking coins playing the game! Sheesh! Do we recommend this game? NO! Its a MONEY TRAP! RUN, PEOPLE, RUN-Its a trap.
Relaxing cool graphics and sound.
We got to level 95. Been stuck there for days. No way to uncover all the cameos in so few moves. Not going to pay for helps. Wish there was a way to skip levels. We were really hooked until 95. Been stuck there a couple of weeks.
We are not receiving the poster clues after catching the bunny. It says we were rewarded, but when we went to reveal..there was nothing. Ads are cancelled too often. App shuts down.
We love this game but Im honestly getting sick of watching a full :30 ad only to then get the Playback Cancelled box pop up. It feels like such a scam. We dont know what the problem is, but Ive found it happens mostly with ads that are landscape. Id be happy to change our rating if you guys can fix this issue.
Its one of our favorite games had it a long time spend time on it every day.
You get these updates, and its not working so you cant play the game.
We love this match 3 game so much. Its our fav. Cant wait to play it more.
Why the endless syncing now, every time we open the app up. Another game we quit playing, just like crafty candy.
Bro this game is so underrated and its fun we wonder why nobody makes videos online about this anymore.
We love this game – but the sound has stopped working not sure how to get it back.
Level 4966 and on that just opened are all the same. Please fix them.
Ive been playing this game for years and its one of our favorites. You get a variety of games some easy and some are more challenging. Its worth checking out, we think youll like it.
We love this game. We play every day.
We have played this game every single day for YEARS. We love it. We admit we never read the mystery and have no clue whats going on, but we cant go a day without playing the game.
First of all, we like this game overall. The artwork is appealing and the story is set in interesting locations, some of which we have looked up because we were not familiar with them. We also like the special weekend games where you can earn bonuses. Our issue is with prizes or rewards. It is nearly impossible to win or earn coins, unlike other games where you receive at least one for winning levels. One of the prizes is poster pieces. They have not put a poster in our collection in over a year so those dont do us any good. Id like if they could give a choice of prizes in the chest, so that if you cant use poster pieces you could choose something else. Support has not been responsive or added any posters for us.
Im not one to give ratings but this game deserves it. We cant begin to say how many years we have been playing. We have completed the initial plot and am on level 2810. In all that time we have never had any issues with the same software. We have played on both iPhone and Samsung. Ive played by ourselves with no help from friends. We intend to continue playing until there are no more levels. Which we hope doesnt happen.
Im unable to open the app, keeps crashing, please fix.
We used to love this game but now they keep giving you puzzle pieces but theres no puzzle and its like they dont want to give you anything, even the extra moves have dropped from 5 to 3 and the coins you earn is less what you actually need to buy extra time.
This app we have been playing for years. Now all of a sudden Im having problems with our updating and saving progress. This is very irritating. We were wag up on a level near 1800 and its very discouraging to loss our progress. If someone isnt done to reinstate those levels, Im ot putting another dime into this game.
We actually love this game. Its fun and challenging. The flaw is it crashes and even if you have logged in via apple, you lose your progress, coins, lives and special powers which you paid good money for. We had thousands of lives lost and never reinstated. And just recently, the game crashed again. We paid money for those lives and we expect them to get fully reimbursed.
After years of playing through the frustration of game resets if the phone rings or a text arrives, lives and progress lost, we have reached our breaking point. With plenty of coins in the bank, poster pieces awaiting reveal, and playing the VIP league and on track for the holiday contest, we were forced to accept a new user privacy agreement. In doing so, the entire game rest as if we had never played, all coins and years of tournament progress was lost. Thanks but Im not interested in starting all over again. Time to delete this ridiculously buggy app since the companys response to all our queries has ended with the statement that f you dont sign in using social media or the Game Center there is nothing we can do to help. So congratulations you have finally pushed us beyond the threshold of extreme patience we have always allowed this game.
This game is match-3, it has a great storyline, there are some interesting little puzzles. This booster (we think) has us puzzled. How do you find the code to open the Time of Death cylinder? Thanks for a great game.
The game was working great but now it shuts down in the middle of the game.
And we dont like it. Revenue generating sure but perhaps make the bundles for coins and boosters a better value and players will buy more. But Im seriously not happy with ads.
Love this game, but so tired of it rebooting every time we get a call or text message. We lose a life, plus progress on challenges for no reason, other than faulty programming. Fix this.
This game constantly requires you to download before you play it. Sometimes twice in the same day. Its a long process that can sneak up on you when you do o have access to Wi-Fi. The game also has freezing and crashing errors during gameplay, ad playback, and the dreaded twice-daily download process. On top of that the game will randomly sign you out and ask you to start over from the first level. When the game is working properly, its a fun mess, but when its not, its beyond frustrating.
We have enjoyed the game up until the screen blacks out with no way to get back to the game other than to wait it out. Sometimes that is 24 hours.it is occurring with more frequency. We think we can find a game with out the frustration.
You will get stuck on a level & you will be stuck on it forever, unless you pay up for helpers – which we refuse to do! So, we play this while we are waiting for troops to train (Clash) or lives to build up in other games,.
We always look forward to new levels. This is not just a match game. Each level requires you to figure out what you need to do to win the level. This varies a lot, and gives the game great interest. No one is happy about buying coins, but there are side challenges where you can win boosts and sometimes unlimited play for days. A thoroughly enjoyable game.
Ive completed level 385 several times and it wont let us advance. Very frustrating.
This game is not only fun, but challenging too!! Side note, if you copy or send this game to an iPad, or iPhone, youll have to start all over! Some may think this might be a good thing, we did for a bit, now we wish we could start at our old level, 124! Anywaygive it a try, youll be addicted after the first game.
When you keep showing an ad for a game (Manor Matters) where a mother and young baby are freezing, we always report it as being inappropriate. You just keep showing us the ad. So, we dont look at any of your ads, no matter how many times we have to pass a level without help. Do you not review the ad reports that say, Its offensive or we dont like it.
The game had too many fault. Too many time we have reached halfway point of the game and we found ourselves going back all the way to the beginning. Each time the game need updated.
We downloaded this game for ones of our friends said it was great game. We downloaded it and we did not anjoy it. We tried playing it and found the stery annoying and the gameplay annoyinger. We thought it was challening because it gave little too no time to Finnish the puzzles. Ecspeciially that level where only black gems on sides gotten. For the love of love us friend and we bash our head against wall it was challenging with strict time. We also ran out of the lives and took forever to gain. Now we did not complet the game, but why in the y do we go to antarica then London then Finland or where ever we go. Why all over the place.
Great game, told everyone we know about it.
When kept on a screen too long because computer doesnt give you any winning combinations.
Our favorite match-3 game. No banner ads, no pop-up ads, only offers to watch an ad for a boost. Comes with a cute story. Easy to earn boosts; Not necessary to spend real money. We are still not sure how the Mystery League works. Sometimes the bonus levels/events on the left side block access to game levels. Thats our only complaint.
Would give a better rating but game dont allow you to connect to Facebook.
The only complaint we have with this addictive game is you cant skip a game. Ive been stuck on the same level for weeks.
Im using up what goodies we have then going to delete game. This isnt what we want to do but multiple times Ive made purchases we have been charged twice. Mystery match says they cannot help and when submitting to Apple they deny. We request each time to have them look at it again and still no help. We truly, truly enjoy MysteryMatch but cannot continue to be charged double for purchases.
This is a fun game. We have to use our Mind as the levels increase. This is Not easy to do! Its a fun game to play. We love it.
For the last 3 weeks the game is freezing up on The claim page it show s comes up and we cant remove it to play the game.
We enjoy this game because there is so much variety, with more than just the main story to play. There are lots of times to play free lives of a day or more, various times to play levels, and Mystery League. All of these keep the game from being.
Game is jammed and we cannot receive $6.99 purchase.
