Glitching
I had no issues with this game up until now every time it plays an ad the screen will go black, and I have to close everything down when I was literally about to win.
I already was about to delete the game because in order to win a lot of these rounds, I have to watch a bunch of ads. Now I’m definitely about to delete the game there are times where you’re trying to watch an ad so you can get extra time or one of the items that will help you to win and the button will keep buffering. I understand ads are needed to some degree but a lot of these ads are extremely too long and it’s getting to be ridiculous so for that sayonara.

Porn ads
Before anyone says “it goes by your searches” that is 100% not true. AI images of young girls legs spread putting stuff inside themselves is the ad that comes up for me and my sister and neither of us search anything like that. It’s shocking and honestly sickening bc kids play these games. My nephews are 6 and 9 and I’m so disgusted with this game and the makers. I deleted this game and I want to warn anyone with kids to be careful. Absolutely abhorrent.
Terrible
The game glitches but the time speeds up
10/10 game
Keep it up yall!! Ts bussing. 10/10 would recommend, rlly trained my hole gng.
Ridiculous Ads
The ads are RIDICULOUS! You have to pay $9.99 to get them removed. If you need to move on or more time you have to buy it. I understand some of these games are not free but they should be relaxing the ads only frustrate!
Every time an ad plays it freezes and shuts the game down
Janky
No ads?
Paid 10 bucks for No Ads. Still get ads. Game is so much fun I keep playing it though... Just kidding. I deleted it.
To many adds
This was a good game but the adds are way too long and it’s too many. Use too be fun but not anymore
Scam!
I love the game itself. However, I paid for no-ads. An extraordinary amount for no-ads. And then an hour later I have ads again. That has to be illegal.
Hole it
Waaaaaaay to many commercials!!!!
Took my money
I paid $4.99 to get ten minutes of unlimited play but it didn't give it to me.
Lost purchases
Updated the app because of the glitches and lost all of my coins I had previously purchased. “restore purchases” button won’t work.
Stealing star coins
This game took 1000 coins from me. If you play this game then you know how hard it is to get coins. It’s cute and addictive but I’m real close to deleting it. 😤
It’s really bad don’t waste your time
Don’t even think about it it’s really bad. It keeps asking you to buy stuff and oh my god the ad ads are all the time there was ads at it’s garbage.
Please STOP with Pornographic Ads!!!!
How many times do I have to click “not interested” to quit being fed pornographic ads?
Pretty sure I hate this game twice.
Listen. I love a hole game but the time frames they give you on their levels are insane. Absolutely tailored to making you give them money. I didn’t even pass level 25 before needing to pay money and they make you pay for no adds before you realize how short their time frames are. I think I probably realized this and deleted this game and accidentally downloaded it again from an add from another more enjoyable game. I think this is the second app game review I’ve ever done so I hope this makes it apparent how absolutely aggressive the time frames are. Enjoy level 3/10. Unnecessary stress level 12/10
RN!!!!12
Game is fun but there isn’t enough time to finish stages. Some are completely impossible.
Buggy
Timer still runs when you watch ads. Frustrating to lose like that
Over kill with long ads.
The game is enjoyable, but you end up feeling like you’re spending more time on long ads than the experience of the game. It will leave you frustrated.
Purchases going through but not being added
I have made a purchase, it goes through my Apple Pay but then it fails to reward me in the game
Predatory
I started playing this game & loved it! It can be very addictive!! I made purchases & did not receive one of my purchases for $4.99 for the fail items after not winning. Sent an email & absolutely no response?! No refund or the items that were in my purchase. You have to watch all of these ads that take forever even AFTER you win. Now you can’t watch ads for free stuff anymore! Like the freeze or locator. I’m getting rid of this game now. It’s 1800 coins anytime you need a freeze or any extra stuff while playing. Craziness!
Makes you spend money.
Liked the game better when you could watch the ads at least to get a reward; instead now they force you to spend money on the coins in order to even stand a chance at beating the level. Had fun while it lasted. Will be deleting.
What happened
Game was tons of fun now when I try to watch a video to freeze time or increase the size it runs my time down to 0 and ends the game. Please fix this
Lame
Too many ads!!
Garbage
Purposely puts you in situations to sell you things instead of riding on a good game. Do not recommend.
Cheating Game
It’s getting frustrating beating games by a second or two only to be marked “Failed”. The item clearly goes through the whole but is not counted. It’s frustrating on those hard levels that take multiple times only to be marked “failed” when the item went in the whole with two seconds remaining.
Not as fun as other hole games.
I’m pretty good a these type of games. Haven’t met one yet I could not enjoy. Then I met this one. Not 1 level has enough time to complete your requirements. The developers forgot one thing when putting on the finishing touches. As a player new to the game, I have NO idea what is on the screen or where they r placed. They do not allow enough time for u to scan the screen to get the way out. They only the other hand know exactly where everything is being as where they put them there. So when they played the game to determine the time limit they forgot we as new players don’t know where anything is. At the least they could scan out for 20 seconds so we can see the screen. End result they become a money money money game. They want to get rich off U alone. They must be from a different country besides the USA CAUSE THEY R THINKING WE R ALL RICH. Sad cause most of us r poor. Rich people don’t have time to play games. Shame shame shame on u developers. I deleted my game. I recommend y’all do that and go find one the just wants u to enjoy their game. Those kind of game I will spend money on. But NOT these type of games.
10x charge!
Love the game, bought a bundle pack for $1.99 and was charged $10.98 not once but twice! Deleting this game!!! Be careful if you buy a bundle pack, you may charged 10 times or more!
App not loading
Hi , I play this game a lot , I’m over level 600 . I’ve played so much that now all the new levels are just repeats but I don’t mind. My problem is that my app has not loaded for the past two days and I made it so far in this game just to delete and start over. What is going on ???!
art is ai generated
disgusting
Not what’s described
This game is so so slow! The ad is completely different than the real game. Disappointing
Too many ads
Way too many ads. Constantly closing the app and reopening to play. No daily prizes. You don’t win nearly enough coins to even enjoy the game and it takes like 30 levels to make 900 coins which is the minimum needed to get anything.
Scam
Enjoy the game but when you win and click on a bonus coin win it never gives you more than 20 even though it says you should get 5x of 20 which used to be 100. Time limits are set to never be achieved to bait you into buying coins to extend play. Beware!!!
Would be fun if no ads
The Ads in this game are insanely annoying. Barely can play this game because of them. They make you watch these ads if you wanna get thru anything in the game.
Packages
Pay for a bundle. Get charged, don’t get credit. Email support, no response.
To many ads

Freezes during ads
Can't stand how this app freezes during ads at times causing the level to reset and stripping away any powerups that have accumulated as well as any of the ones used during that board-some of which have been purchased.
Fun but money guzzler
Hello please fix your game. I literally get everything in the hole and it still tells me I fail. Also, unless you're someone that likes to spend countless dollars on games, there's a thin line between the fun and overspending. As someone who plays a lot of these games, this one is not that fair and hardly lets you win with just use of your own skill and merit. You literally have to keep buying coins and watch adds and you make people buy add-free game but it's not.
Ads ugh
Enjoy the game but right now the ads are blank costing me a life when I am viewing them to earn a boost. Not that I want to watch them but they could at least end. That is frustrating. It goes black and you aren’t able to do anything but close after a minute or so. Game over. Also I have seen two minute ads?
The Games Is Fun But
The game crashes after every third ad. It’s annoying
Ads
I love the game but there is way too many ads and there isn’t enough rewards for watching them!
Fun but needs work
You don’t get very many points for winning levels. And no differential in points for harder levels.
Too many adds
Fun and engaging… however there are so many useless and long ads.
The ads are between 45 seconds and 90 second. Sometimes you are offered an option to watch an ad and even when you select not to see an ad… it shows you another ad!!! So if you want to have fun, but spend more time watching… you guessed it… ADS than this is the game for you!

Good game, poor value
Developers keep making games that have levels that are impossible to pass unless you spend money. This is one of those games.
Same levels over and over
I LOVED this game! I’m on level 178 the past 15 levels have been levels I’ve already beat, same layout of everything even the target items are the same. Really turned me off to finally beat a level and the next level to be the same as 2 levels before. So I’d say this game is really fun until you get to level 160, after that you’ll be playing the same levels over and over.
Some flaws to fix
Even if you “hole it” with a second left on the clock, it will not count as a win. The other flaw, it immediately closes out your game without allowing you to see what items you missed or how many points you scored.
Geared to Ad Revenue
It’s a fun game, but probably the worst I’ve played considering the number of ads you have to watch. And each time you choose that option within a level the ads get longer. Then 10 secs is all you get. I’m not opposed to in game purchases but this is sadly ridiculous. Deleting it. Too many other options out there.
Extra Timer for fun
The game overall is very interesting but it doesn’t have any options to increase your time to actually enjoy the game. All the timers on each level seems the same. Why not offer a prize gadget from the beginning for players to increase their time play during the game?
