Just deleted it!
Nice game but there are so many ads that it is unplayable. Especially ads from Vita Mahjong which last for several minutes.
Paid for No Ads but…
Ads for additional lives are required and are WAY too long! I regret paying for “No Ads” because you can’t play without ads.
Rigged
There’s a point where you have to buy the power ups to beat this game.
Would be a great game WITHOUT ADS!!! Very annoying and frustrating!!!!
Not worth the frustration
Test gail
Failed to change color . I try new coins but color never changes I lost the round
Not a real game
More like an advertisement for other apps and games vs a real game. Playtime is 20% In app commercials is the other 80%.
rigged
the app gives certain colors made to make you lose so you say on the app longer. watching ads for help in the game is useless too, because they'll purposely give you "help" that just prolongs your loss
Fun but the ads make it unbearable
I love this game. I downloaded it and have really enjoyed playing it but the ads make it extremely glitchy. You can never close out without it trying to open the advertisement. Half the time I have to force close the app because the ads get stuck on a loop and then it restarts the ad again. I am deleting because it has become more of a frustration to try and play than it’s worth. Bummer.
False advertising. “This is a perfect free game with no annoying ads” - NOT
I came to this app from an ad in Duolingo. It claims that “This is a perfect free game with no annoying ads”. I don’t fault them for wanting you to pay to remove the ads, but be honest about it. This game is more annoying ads than I’ve ever encountered in an app and I spent so much time waiting through ads, I didn’t figure out if I wanted to buy the game. Even more annoying was that the game is not the same as the one playing in the ads.
Minute Long Ads!?
This game would be really fun, but it gets old very fast considering everything you do has an ad in between. And because ads aren’t quick ads, they’re like anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute long. The same ads over and over again that you can’t exit out of, the only option is to buy ad free, which is $10. NOT WORTH IT! There are other games like it on here. They don’t have the ridiculous ads.
Rip off
This claims no adds, they lie. Adds to add blocks, adds between games and the adds are longer in length.
Impossible to win at higher levels
The game tosses tiles that are completely useless when the puzzle is almost full.
LANGWEILIG
Spiele ist eine einfache Situation macht es langweilig Entwickler, wenn Sie dies lesen, machen Sie das Spiel schwieriger, damit ich mehr Spaß habe, bitte
Long Ads
Game would be decent, but it’s more ads than game.
사기임
유료로 구매해서 광고 안보고 게임중임. 100탄 넘게 게임진행함.
룰을 깨고 강제로 실패를 유도하는 동작때문에 참다참다 리뷰를 씀.
일정 수준에서 무조건 불가능한 블록만 줌. 골드를 써서 바람개비를 아무리 사봐도 불가늘한 블록들로만 새로 줌. 망치로 한 자리를 새로 만들어서 게임을 진행해봐도 금방 다시 못쓰는 새로운 블록을 줌. 결국 광고보고 새로운 자리를 열어야만 클리어가능하게 설계되있음.
블록들이 움직이는 규칙도 일정하지 않음. 다수에서 소수로 움직이거나, 색상종류가 많은 쪽에서 적은 쪽으로 움직이거나, 혹은 새로 두는 블록을 중심으로 한다던가. 고정된 규칙이 있어야하는데, 평소엔 그런것처럼 동작하지만 중간에 갑자기 규칙에 어긋나게 블록이 제멋대로 움직임. 결국 자리를 하나 더 차지하게 만드는 로직으로 동작함.
사기 그 자체임.

Poor app performance and design
The game suffers from 3 flaws. 1 it burns your battery. I am not sure what it is doing, but it will eat through our battery fast. 2 it constantly overrides the system audio. Don’t think you can play the game and enjoy music or an audio book during a flight. 3 you spend more time ignoring ads that won’t let you move forward than you do playing the game. So much so I will NEVER buy a product or download a game advertised.
Don’t pay for “No Ads!”
This is an enjoyable game. To gain more landing spots, you have to watch adds to unlock them. I just paid the $4.99 fee for no ads. That did not change a thing about the game. Still getting pop-ups and still have to watch ads to unlock the spaces. Total waste of money.
ADS, ADS, ADS.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE ADS ABOUT THIS GAME….IT IS ALL LIES. There are ads after EVERY LEVEL. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME….IT SUCKS….THEY LIED.
Too many ads
Advertising for the game says “no annoying ads” and all you get are constant ads after every level.
Was Fun
This game was really fun and I loved playing it until recently when the ads won’t load. Just spins and spins. I even deleted it, lost all my progress, and redownloaded and it STILL doesn’t work. I’m done!
Used to think it was fun
I found this game fun for a while, however the ads are absolutely ridiculous. I don't care that there ARE ads, but the problem is these repeat ads that last forever and then won't go away no matter what I do to the point where I have to exit the game entirely. That clearly shouldn't happen and it has happened to me more times than I can count. And yes im using the most updated version of the app. If you play games to relax, find another similar game.
???
I don’t understand how to play it.
Love the game, deleted due to fake ads
Fun game, but I’m deleting as soon as so get the points from the program that suggested the game. There is no way to report the fake weight loss ads. These are AI celebrities and political figures swearing the jello will make you loose weight.
Made for advertisements
The game itself is fine. Eventually you get to a place where if you don't purchase the "no ad" version, you quickly find yourself watching a ton of adds to get yourself out of a bind. At a certain point it feels deliberate like you're being bearded to buy the "no ads" version. I'm deleting this now. It was fun ✌️
Too many commercials
This game gets annoying pretty fast. There is a commercial after every single level. Even in the middle of the playing game there are commercials interrupting your game. Not worth the download.
Sad face
Games is not like the sample I will probably delete if you’re gonna have a watch a video on a game while I’m playing another game have it be the same game?
Color Slide
There are no directions for this game when you download it so you don’t know how to play it
Fake game don’t download
Once you reach up to a certain level, the game mechanics switch and prevent a win unless you pay. So it’s really a glorified slot machine but not even that because it’s programmed never to let you advance. Don’t be swayed by the developer responding to every review, because they’ve done that for all the reviews but it’s just for show. This company is built on lies and scams.
Frustrating!
Don’t play this unless you love frustration. Way too short of game play because of so many game ads. They will give you 3 tiles for 2 spaces. Now, if you buy $$ coins you can win easily. If not, its impossible to win certain levels. I Don’t recommend this game.
I deleted the game. Way too many fails on a level that you can’t win without buying coins ( thats done on purpose by the game developer). Also, way, way too many game ads.

No directions.
I do not understand how to play since there were no directions given. Not worthy of my time, sorry!
Rip off
Even if you purchase the game the higher levels become unplayable unless you spend money on upgrades and power ups. Ripoff
Just started
Not enough time to judge.
Fun but rigged
Would have been a fun game but I realized it is rigged. There would be three spots open and the only color that would completely end your game in a loss would show up as the only option. Then you use coins to re-shuffle the “hand” and voila you got same exact 3 colors nevertheless even though you just paid coins to re-shuffle your colors. The game clearly calculates at times the exact no-win scenarios and hands them to you. Assuming to push you to spend money on more boosters. And with so many adds that pop up, ud think they make the game more objectively fair. I don’t mind the adds, but not when the game is obviously rigged against the user.
Too many ads
I very much enjoy the game, but the amount of ads is unbearable! So, bc I don’t want to pay to make them go away, I’m done.
Deleting
I’ve had this game for a while and I paid not to have the adds. I had 3 boosters and then I had enough coins to get 4 more of the 3 color swaps. So you’re telling me that in 7 different tries I still didn’t get ONE matching tile. Makes me want to delete it.
Way too many Ads
It’s a fun game BUT I paid to not have ADs - yet there are constant Ads for free spaces and extra lives or you have to pay.
Like the game, not the ads!
I like the game but the ads are awful! No matter what I try, they will not close. The only solution I have found, is to reboot my iPhone, so I am probably going to just delete the game. I know there is a purchase option with no ads, but I suspect that you can only earn the ability to use a free spaces by watching an ad, so that is a nonstarter for me.
Great except for…
I just deleted this game for the second time. Enjoyed playing it but the constant interruptions to play just took out all the fun. And in between the games were offers to get rid of the ads for fees. Just wanted to relax but it didn’t help.
Ads with ads
Interrupting an ad to play another ad is a special kind of stupid. Nice work.
lower quality than promised
terrible performance, atrocious difficulty spike in the mid teens, ridiculous prices. unenjoyable experience that rewards significantly less than the ads. usually the ads are worse than the actual gameplay but it is the complete opposite in this case.
also heats up the device by a significant margin. be careful

Ads are BRUTAL!!!
Beware, plan on spending more time dealing with ads than playing the game!!!!
Too many ads
Deleted due to excessive ads and not being able to close the ad. Stupid.
TOO many ADS!!
The game itself is fun and provides a challenge.. I've been playing for about a month but sadly I am deleting because there are WAY TOO MANY ADS!! New level, ad. Want a free space, AD {or multiple ads} It takes the fun away from the game itself. Also, only getting 5 or 10 coins for completing a level is laughable when you consider how many coins it takes to have access to the "help items" in the game. Not to mention, some of the extra spaces also cost 25 coins. They're basically trying to force you to spend money!! It's sad. This game was fun until it wasn't!!
Good game & scam
I enjoy this game, but the reward system is not fair. The cost of assistant items does not align with the amount you receive after completing a level forcing the gamer to buy their packages. Not cool.
Was really enjoying until…
They started splitting the tiles into two colors each. Once they’re placed the game decides which color they become. So this takes out any kind of fun or strategy. I hate it. I was having a great time here. Now it’s ruined. I can’t shut this off
Too Many Ads
Way too many ads to actually enjoy this game. I mean every tile has an ad? Come on.
Started out fun
First few levels are fun to play but by about level 10 the ads become overwhelming, not between levels, but every few moves!
Manipulating
What could be an awesome game with some great strategy they made random and it had clearly become manipulated. The order in which the colors combine has no consistency so when you try to strategize you can’t and it has seem very rigged in order to have me make additional purchases. Garbage.
Ads
I like the games but the ads run after every game and the free spaces. Same ads. Very irritating.
My problem
Had a hard time figuring it out
