Add and glitches
Just like everyone else is saying, the ads are ridiculous! This is the first app I've seen that shows you an ad if you pause the game and then unpause it. Also, just today they started showing pop-up ads in the middle of gameplay. Four pop-up ads in a three minute game! What a joke. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of the ads. There is only a $10 pass. Not a permanent pay version. The gameplay was fun, a little different. Mostly just much much harder than the average game. You will often spend 30 seconds looking for a single match. It was different and I liked the gameplay but the ads and glitches are too much.
Ads freeze
Royal Match and other ads freeze and you cannot get points. Frustrating when you clear a level and then get ripped off.
Too many ads
I LOVE this game but the ads are too much. It’s one thing to have an ad between each level or to watch an ad to get bonuses or be saved, etc. But it’s to the point where if I pause, there’s an ad before resuming. To see my rewards, another ad. I put my phone in airplane mode and there’s less, but still banner ads and between levels (fine). BUT ON TOP OF ALL THAT, some of the ads you have to interact with to make them go away, even in airplane mode. Other times it will say like 20 second ad, but it will actually be longer than that because you have to wait for the exit to pop up. It’s ridiculous!!!!!! This has been going on for a couple months it didn’t use to be this many ads. Also, when I click not interested in an ad it continues to show it to me.
Don’t Bother
I purchased the Match Pass as it was advertised to give me perks for the purchase. It appeared I would receive 1600 coins, and a number of hints/scrambles in addition to 8 lives instead of 5. Plus no ads. Well, despite what’s advertised, there are some arbitrary goals you have to meet to obtain what you paid for. Customer Service could care less. Waste of time and money. There will probably be some bot response saying how sorry they are I am disappointed with the game. They could care less.
Too many blink ads
I used to love this game but the last couple of months the blink ads pop up non stop taking away any momentum. I am considering deleting it
Ads are Unskippable Now
Would voluntarily watch the ads for bonuses, but now they are unskippable. So guess what? I’ll never watch an ad again and I don’t ever need to spend actual money for bonuses so you guys shot yourself in the foot with this move.
why I deleted the app
Did not like waiting to play, because of the ads. I deleted it.
4806 is stuck
I’ve been playing this game for years and the amount of bugs and ads are atrocious. I’ve emailed them about being stuck on 4806. Makes me so annoyed when something doesn’t work as it is supposed to. FIX YOUR GAME!!!
FIX THE PROBLEMS
You have oodles of people telling you about ALL the annoying ads, some are even longer than the TV commercials. Well, there’s another problem, the game freezes. You clear the board, the clock still runs and there is nothing to clear. In the end, you loose your points, coins, and UFO’s. The other day this happened three (3) times in a row. Each time ingot my UFO’s build up, the game froze. Don’t you care about what people are saying about the problems/glitches? Or are you in it just for the money? Listen to what the game players are saying, fix the problems/glitches. I’ve sent you a message thru the game, no reply from you. I had to rate this game with only one (1) star because it won’t let me send if I didn’t rate, otherwise you would have a zero (0) rating from me. Listen to your game players, fix the problems/glitches.
Ads
Loved this app until it became impossible to play thanks to how they changed how the ads appear
Recently Disappointed
Rather suddenly, this game has developed a glitch. I will clear all objects and … nothing. The clock keeps ticking down. I will hit the lightbulb, and nothing happens. I hit the scramble, nothing. If I exit the round through settings, my only option, it tells me I’ll lose everything, and I do. I’ve tried several different tactics with no luck. I had this problem on my other device and deleted the app to reinstall it. I lost nearly 200,000 points and had to start at the very beginning. Now I’m stuck on a really hard level with no points only a few games in. I used to love this game, but if it’s not fixed soon I will be deleting it from both of my devices. PLEASE fix this.
Great BUT WHY THE ADS?!
The ads are insufferable!! At least don’t make them mid game. And a “season pass” to get rid of ads feels like a scam. Great game otherwise.
Frustrating
The game is not ending properly. I will have matched all tiles with 2+ minutes remaining and the game doesn’t end. Clock keeps clicking down and I lose all points as it counts as a loss.
Ads don’t end
Your ads don’t time down, or ever end. I have to keep closing the game to stop them.
Match Tile
Their “Support” is totally useless! The game is full of glitches and it’s not fun anymore!! Don’t waste your time or money!!!
Played two levels
I played two levels-I’m pretty sure the three items from the last game are just now catching up. Lags badly
No longer fun
I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile and enjoying it, but with the latest update it seems like a whole new game with the times to complete a game going from 5-12 minutes to just 1-4 minutes now. There is no way to complete even one game without using bonuses or spending coins. It’s just not any fun to play anymore, and certainly not “relaxing “ as they claim it is!
What in the heck?!
OK. This has become ridiculous. I totally understand that, because I choose not to pay for the ad-free version of the game, there will be a series of ads in between games. But for a few months now, ads have been popping up in the middle of the game…sometimes 2 or 3 in a row. The problem is (other than it being flat out annoying), during the time the ad is playing, the game you’re in the midst of gets docked that amount of time. Bad enough to have the game constantly interrupted but much worse that, when you’re being involuntarily subjected to one ad after another, you’re also losing time off the clock. After enjoying this game for several years, I’m ready to delete it. I would guess other players feel the same way. At that point, you’ve defeated the purpose of the ads because no one will be watching them! Please fix this!
Great game if you enjoy watching never ending pop up ads!!
Myself and the players on my team have continuously complained about the intrusive never-ending pop-up ads for blink, mochi, etc. etc. but yet still no update available and no fix!! I guarantee you I will never purchase any of the products that cause me to lose my multiplier and my game!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!
Blink Ads Need To Go!!!
Blink ads continually ruin my game in progress. If those obnoxious ads are not removed I will delete this game from my devices.
Ad Nightmare
This game is not worth playing based on how many, and how quickly the ads come at you. You might be able to click on two icons and there’s an ad, then two more, and there’s an ad. It is so annoying. I’m deleting this app from my phone
Ads so bad you can’t even play
Ads are interrupting the game so you cannot play.
Too many ads!
I’ve had this game on my phone for many years now, and have enjoyed it even with the annoying ads. But the annoying ads have gotten ridiculous, they flash up every few seconds, making it hard to play the game and even eating into the countdown the clock. This is not okay!
Has become almost unplayable
I usually really like this game but lately it’s become almost unplayable. The ads popping up mid-game have gotten even more frequent. I decided to count and I had 18 game interruptions with 21 ads! And I didn’t use all my game time - there were 6 minutes left. This is so annoying! I may have to give up and delete the game.
Purchased to go ad free but it’s worse!
Do not pay to go ad free, the ads will play at bottom and will freeze your screen. Constant freezing. I’d prefer the ads that play after not at bottom of screen.
Too many pop up ads
This WAS my favorite game at one time. The pop up ads are occurring every 3-5 seconds! I did the update and the situation got worse. Please fix this bug!
Problem
Annoying ads. How to eliminate them?
Pure evil ads
The ads constantly pop up. It’s horrible, & I have played for many years. It was not like this before. It was kinda fun, before. Those were the days.
Ridiculous!!!
I have played this game for years and this is the first time EVER leaving a review for any game because I don’t know whose bright idea it was to throw these same stupid ads right in the middle of a game, but I’d like you to be aware of something… while playing my last game, probably only about a minute into it (seemed like longer but with an ad popping up every 2 seconds, I couldn’t have gone that far 🙄), I started keeping track of how often those stupid things show up and these were the results in probably less than 2 minutes time… ads popped at:
8:37
8:28
8:04
8:02
7:57
7:52
7:08
7:03… it’s then I stopped keeping track. Now is that really ****ing necessary?! And right in the middle of games?! I’m deleting and if I were y’all, I wouldn’t even suggest downloading it to begin with!!

Rapid Fire Ads
What has happened to your ad policy? You cannot enjoy a game now because of all the ads that pop up one after the other. I have played for several years but now, it got so bad I had to delete the game and tried adding it back with a new version- still the same. So I am dropping it again.
Match Tile 3 D
I have played this game for a couple of years and really like its challenge. Then a couple of months ago, all the objects presented were mostly white and the play time was reduced to less than 5 minutes- impossible to complete when you toss in CONSTANT ads from Blink. I’m dropping the game and will NEVER buy a Blink product. You’ve ruined a fun app.
Don’t get this game!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to love this game as a mindless stress reliever. I’m on level 4667, so I obviously have played a lot over the years. Now, every game has at least 10 ads (I just had a game with 18 ads) that pop up in the middle of a TIMED game. It’s impossible to play now. What a disappointment.
Mid-game ads increasing
Loved this game but it’s now unplayable. This is a memory game and the NEW MID-GAME ADS make me lose my place in finding the icons I’m looking for AND the clock keeps running on my session so they’re using my time up. I will also be boycotting the advertisers who buy these ads as they have ruined this game for me.
WAS a good game…
I was addicted to this game. Now when I play, ads are popping up non-stop, literally every few seconds. It makes it impossible to find the items because you always have to break your eyes away look up to where to close the ad. Guess I will be switching to a different matching game.
Can’t Advance
I have been trying to get past a level for days. I am having so many pop up ads and they seem to very frequently cause an object to be selected, which ends the game. I am so frustrated and may just delete the game!!! Ugghhhhhbb!!!
Hate new changes
Used to like this game to pass time. New ads popping up as you play are so irritating and make you accidentally hit objects. I just cleared my screen and it asked if i needed to buy more time and was stuck on blank game. Giving up until these are fixed
Horrible
This use to be a good game but Ada ruining your game making you lose is ridiculous! Don’t get this game!
So many ads!
I like this game but I can’t deal with the ads anymore. They pop up mid game, around 15 in a 15 minute game. Its ridiculous. It is distraction and beyond annoying. It’s like rapid fire ads. I found other similar games that only have some ads. This one is not worth it.
Notice NO response from developers
Sad they don’t feel like they need to respond
Ads ads ads
Was a great game, multiple
Ad popups in the middle of the game back to back have ruined it.

Remove ads is a lie
I like this game. However, I paid to remove ads, which worked for a few days. But now ads pop up in the middle of game play. Sometimes back to back. It’s aggravating that I paid for ad removal but it’s not being honored.
Ads
I’ve played this game for a couple of years! Now you start making me watch ads?
As soon as a ad starts I X out of the game!

Annoying Ads
I don’t mind seeing ads in between levels, but the ads popping up during the game are annoying. Can you fix that please or I will be deleting this game
Pop ups during game
Ads pops up in the middle of game. Very annoying . Guess it’s time to delete game as it’s no fun being interrupted every minute. Don’t bother playing this game
HUGE AMOUNT OF POP UP ADS
I counted 23 pop up ads for just 1 game. Prepared to be frustrated.
What happened to this app?
This used to be one of my favorite games. I changed rating from a high 5 to a 1 star. Within the past week or two it’s become glitchy and horrendous. Sad. The ads pop up without warning in the middle of play rather than after getting a set. Rather than a challenge it’s an annoyance. And it’s one ad repeatedly- Blink.
Please fix this!!!
Please fix this!!!
Ad glitches
It seems like a lot of people are having the same issues with this game. Add that pop up mid game. Sometimes every few seconds. I have been playing this game for awhile and just got to over level 10k. This was my favorite game until about a week ago when it started showing an ad like every 10 seconds. It’s so frustrating that I’m thinking of just deleting the game and finding something else. I understand ads after each level, but every 10 seconds is ridiculous and this needs to be fixed. As you’re about to get your items all of a sudden there is an ad and you can click right out of it, but it makes you miss what you were going to click on. Please fix this bug, or I won’t be playing anymore
12 ads in one game!
Title says it all. A ton of mid-game ads pop up and in the one I just played, 12 ads popped up during a single game. This isn’t a game, it’s an ad machine dressed up like a game. I’ll give it another try but I can’t even play around all the ads.
Ridiculous amount of ads
Ads are populating every few seconds. It’s to the point where it’s impossible to play the game. Sad, because this is one of my faves.
Ads
Lately, the ads are popping up every 5-10 seconds, making it impossible to play. You lose time off the clock for every ad and end up picking wrong tiles as ads are consistently popping up. Please fix!
