Tap 'n' Pop HD Lite – Entertainment Game Review

What Makes Tap 'n' Pop HD Lite Stand Out
Great graphics, larger balloons field for a more challenging game and even more fun!
TAP BALLOONS TO POP THEM, ROTATE YOUR DEVICE TO REARRANGE THEM, USE THE PIN TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF A JAM
Shake your iPad to reset colours.
Some user comments:
"Poppit with a twist! … well worth the price!"
"Fun game played just like pop it on pogo … a must have game"
"Brilliant game!
Tap ’n’ Pop is a fun balloon popping puzzle game.
REVEAL PACKAGES
Pop groups of colored balloons to clear and reveal packages containing various items. Reveal all items to reach the next level.
HOW TO PLAY
Tap once to select the group of same colored balloons you want to pop (balloons will start pulsating) – tap again to pop the balloons. Balloons below the removed ones will move up to fill the empty space. Package will be revealed if no balloons are covering it.
ROTATE YOUR DEVICE
Rotate your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and balloons will move up – re-arranging positions and helping you out when you think you are getting close to not having any moves left.
You have limited number of “rotations”, but you earn new one each time you complete a level. If you run out of rotations, but rotate your device anyway – balloons will simply be rotated along giving you the same layout as before rotation.
USE THE PIN
When you find yourself in a "tight spot" – use one of your pins to pierce any balloon that's in your way. Pins are hard to come by so use them wisely.
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Please stop the Russian propaganda.
Tap n Pop HD was a great game. But its not compatible with our new iPad. For some reason, the older HD Lite is compatible mostly. And even older versions are mostly compatible. But we cant find even a hint of restore purchases, so Rotate left is a disaster, otherwise Id buy it to replace the HD version, even with the wonky ads and the crazy way it addresses portrait/landscape changes (better than HD2, which is very sad). HD2 is a stinker too. Maybe TapnPop is just done. Too bad.
We enjoy this game solitary. We don't care for the commercial that pop up in the middle of our game.
This is fun game but some of the ads take over your machine and the only way to get rid of them is to quit the game for a while! Too bad, because it really is a good game and otherwise we would give it five stars.
Two main problems with this game: (1) The game freezes constantly. (2) The game is ruined by the MANY MANY MANY ads.
Removing game. Thought game would have been fixed by now. Was thinking of upgrading to purchased version. Not anymore. Have waited long enough.
Can't play the game due to a huge banner in the middle of the game. Used to be fun.
Since a recent app was done, the game freezes quite often….ruined what was a great game.
App freezes a lot in the middle of play … Not a great feature.
Can't get rid of pop ups commercials. Stupid.
Enjoyable. This game takes some thought, but enough so that you can't watch TV at the same time. Good time waster.
So fun great way to pass the time when you need something mindless.
We like this app. It is a challenge to get to Level 16 with some helpers left over.
This is a Great Game we love It Keep Up the Good Work.
This game is addicting. Cannot put it down. We hate the commercials. We enjoy playing this game. It is a 5 star game. Love it, love it, love it.
Really enjoy the game but do not like the ads and when it blacks out at times. Really addictive game though.
Love the game! Don,t like the long ads and the blackout every now and then.
We really enjoy this game, but dislike the new video popup ads. We might stop playing if they continue.
This was a fun game, but when all the video pop ups started, it really became annoying. Going to uninstall the game.
We enjoy playing. Wish there were less ads. Overall, it's ok.
Had for free then we paid for it, only gave us two more levels! Not happy about that.
We play everyday. It beats watching TV :-).
We love doing this for some reason we can't fathom! We never pop them all! It's a challenge, we guess.
The game is fun to play, the way the ads are presented is annoying. There is no way to skip them, they constantly repeat, or they cut the game off and you have to start over.
Love it, love it, love it. Give it an easy 5 stars.
So ADDICTING we can't put it down.
Love playing this game! We can always talk ourselves into relaxing while being strategic.
Fun app that helps pass the time. Enjoy playing. Only downside is there are some glitches that make you start over but no big deal.
Great game, we are really enjoying it.
It's fun game as we play it on our IPad. Yes commercials are a bit much. Not sure how to keep track of all our scores. :(.
Tap n pop is lots of fun but the ads do not work as you lose the game.
When it works it's fun! But it keeps shutting down. Also when it opens it is on level six mid game.
When game goes to an ad, the game does not come back when you hit "continue to app." Also, a single tap on balloons to pop would be a nice feature.
Great game when the ads aren't running — as they do over & over & over. Fifteen seconds on beef jerky is bad enough, but 30 secs for a political candidate — over & over & over — poisons the play. And buying the.so-called Complete Version changes nothing. What a waste.
New version constantly crashes after or while ads are running and ends game. Use to be a favorite, but now we don't want to waste our time since we cannot ever finish a game. Don't waste your time on this.
We like the game, but all the commercials are so annoying. It makes you not want to play the game.
Used to love this game, but it is a mess now! Slow to clear balloons, for one thing. Also, after a commercial, it just spins and doesn't go to the next level. Please get this fixed.
Love it, mindless entertainment. Addictive.
Love this game! Not so crazy about the commercials after 2 level plays though.
Highly addictive. Hate the commercials. But we still can't put it down.
We love to watch the balloons blow and our 18 month old granddaughter does to it is the only way to keep her sitting in church.
Love this game can't put it down.
This update is terrible, ill probably stop playing. After EVERY level a VERY LOUD 30 second commercial plays and there's no way to skip it. We're done with this app until a better update comes around.
We like to play this game while we're relaxing. We have had no problems with it so far. We would recommend this game to everyone we know. Fun! Fun!Fun.
Love this game, play it non stop.
This game's pretty cool. Helps to past the time. Just wish it would give you more than 14 levels.
This is the best game . We reach 14 level so easy . We like it.
Fun & addicting. Nice way to "problem solve" & escape real life at the end of the day. Sure the ads are annoying, but come on! It's free!!! Pay the money & quit complaining! The only thing we'd add would be the number of points that were possible at each level so we know how to compare our score, and maybe some more hints on how to score higher. But, they might offer these things for the paid version.
Really loving this game….will get the full version.
We're hooked….can't stop playing ;).
