Addicted
I am super addicted to the game. Great story lines, super fun alittle difficult but on a good challenge level. And in game purchases are really cheap if you like that? NG
ads
these are some of the creepiest most disgusting and soulless mobile game ads i have ever seen. genuinely what is wrong with you people
Coins???
Why am I no longer collecting coins when winning a level?? I know I may have reached all episodes but I should still be able to collect coins while waiting for new episodes….
Unfair Challenges. Greedy towards female players!!
The game is super fun but getting females accessories(new hair, makeup) is impossible without spending money on the monthly subscription. They make the male accessories free with challenges but the females accessories can only be won through the subscription.
They intentionally make you lose games, you play the same game over and over - waste of time!
I’ve been playing the game for months, I’ve finally realized I became addicted and it’s such a waste of time! They intentionally make you lose the game unless you spend $ to buy tools to use to keep going. Dozens and dozens of attempts to pass a level with only one block to burst and they just constantly let you lose. You will play the same level over and over, waste over 20+ lives and unless you buy those tools you will lose. Do not get started, do not waste your time or money. It’s not worth it. They are scamming you.
Bruh
Good game people but a friend of mine plays the game and when she leaves for 11 days they get presents and with me I don’t
The Ads for this game are horrendously sexist
I downloaded this game purely for my hatred of the ads, so I could write this review. The most recent ad started from a zoomed in on the “pretty” girl’s butt as she thrusted against an airplane seat, trying to load her luggage into the overhead bin. The premise of the game seems centered on women being valued for their looks and only caring about a man who has money and status. It’s disturbing and bizarre. I can’t believe this is am ad my 8-year-old has seen before. The stereotypes and vapidity it perpetuates is influencing the minds of children. I hate it so much. I wish I could request never to see the ads for this lame game ever again.
BADDDD!!!
First, I’m not saying this game is super bad. I just not the biggest fan of it. There are some at, anytime you want to do something yet to eat something else and it takes forever and I do not have the patience for that “forever “.
Bad mindset for women
In the ads for this game it shows an ugly woman having to get “prettier” in order for her husband to feed her and show her kindness. This makes it seem like in order to get treated like a human you
Must be socially attractive.

Scam
Beat all current levels & still played. You don’t accrue anything. You can’t play the game and “bank” anything. I’m VERY disappointed & will probably delete the app.
Scam
Scam scam scam. Four easy boards in a row then a difficult one to trick users into spending their money on power ups. Manipulative, immoral, scam scam scam
The game is not like the ad at all!!!!!
It’s just not good!
There’s only some makeovers I don’t really like it
Don’t play it there’s only five makeovers and then you have to decorate a whole room and it keeps going
Make game better!
You should fix your internet because it is not loading.
I’m not a fan anymore
As of recently I haven’t been able to pass much of the levels, unless I get additional help, or spent diamonds. Maybe is some kind of update where they might get more engagement money wise, but I was pretty consumed by the game, I now plan to use every reward I have accumulated and once it’s clear I’m planning to delete this, like I’ve done with other apps. Not for me anymore.
BEWARE!
Random charges for this game started showing up in my Apple Pay. I unfortunately had to delete the game which is a shame because I really enjoyed playing. But, 4or 5 purchases in a row that I didn’t make popped up on my account within a week. Not sure how they charged me when they are supposed to ask for my passkey before approving a purchase.
Pain
This game gave me an anurism so badly I can’t even spell. It’s just money farming for the greedy no-life creators. Just another thing in the world that made me wanna rip my hair out. My life sucks and I just got divorced and THIS game is the first thing I play. Omg. The way they give you like ten moves for thirty three shirts. Just another unattainable thing like my KIDS THAT HATE ME. They give you five lives and make you pay when you run out just like food and the oncoming famine I’m going to go through because I’m POOR. Hate this game.
Money Hungry
They have to pay back all the dumb ads they keep putting out by making you eventually have to pay for boosters just to win their levels. Not worth it, better games out there for sure.
Ads are horribly offensive!
Completely tone deaf in the current climate. Women being forced into relationships with old men against their will. Shame on the game developers. Do better!
Take very long time to do the update
Why is it taking so long for the update and been at this game of this particular season for a week now?
Fun BUT..
The game is fine, but it doesn’t give you any option to an extra turns at the end when you’re so close to winning, you should be able to watch an ad or something to get a couple merchants
????
Why did yall have very few selective skin tones for darker complexion versus the lighter ones. Why does my darker complexion avatar does not win games, why does my darker complexion avatar ALWAYS giving more points and not receiving any game bonus on selective games.
Doing too much
The game starts off cute! Basically candy crush style puzzles but the more points you get allows you to participate in a makeover - “buying” furniture, clothing etc for the makeover. But then as the game progresses they start throwing all kinds of random side challenges, mini game and competitions. It’s super aggressive when all you want to do is play the base game. Ruined the experience for me
Cheats
The game tends to cheat when you do certain moves. I’ll have the rainbow circle and the arrows matched together and even though one of the arrow points at a hand to break it doesn’t end up breaking it at the end of the move
Please fix this!!!
I love the game and I love everything about it although, i had a very long streak and lost it because I closed the app during the round. I took that into consideration and I was being very careful with my timing and I achieved a streak of over 100 and then my phone died in the round. This was the tipping point and I’m very upset because I was close to completing it. I need this to be fixed because I am losing my motivation so proceed playing this game. I am sure this is a problem for many others as well.
Love the game but the levels are getting ridiculously hard and im sure its so we pay more
Too many changes and exclusive levels
Why play if it doesn’t preserve progress
I lose games only when I play ads to get extra play to preserve progress. As my only problem with main games, I know my internet to be strong. I’ve been learning for years that without internet, game can’t deliver on rewards from watching ads. It will quit, kill my streaks. But, never does a game struggle to play until the prompt to finish game by watching ads. It’s finally dissatisfying.
I imagine if you play for free, not a priority. There’s so much of this game I won’t pursue. It failed to acknowledge my character gender change request and I’m still being rewarded male clothes, hairstyles, more that do not suit my character. I don’t interact with players. The styles, accessories, houses and furnishings seem childish or delusional after awhile. I’ve decided to keep my distance, fear bots instead of real players.
Playing the games was the only thing keeping me going. I deleted this app years back to take a different approach, but it’s been a big flash in the pan. Fools gold. If people pay money for this, I’m sure they’re happy. I give it a one star rating for breaking my heart, because of lack of response…issues handled by bots.
Maybe, game maker is too big and possibly unwilling to accommodate unique individual issues. Losing games over ads that won’t reward seems like something common and unaddressed. No suggestion presents/given by its bots. No human response. No help but from machines that make empty promises of attention.

Rainbow pro is not working even after it says activated
A feature in the game is not working. I informed the help desk which just told me i need to win 10 levels to activate rainbow pro. I already knew that and i’m trying to get the game support know that there is a glitch in this feature. It isn’t showing up even when i win ten levels and it says its activated. No rainbows show up all when it says i activated rainbow pro then i lose the feature in the next game due to the fact the rainbow pro never appeared. The AI help isn’t working!
This good
It ok but I wish they will add moves for me and the game doesn’t look like the ad
Good
Not what the adds say but still fun to play
Makeover is so fun!
Is enjoy the ease of instruction
Boosters
Why have the levels gotten so much harder with no way to get boosters unless you buy them. Some of us love the game but don’t have money to buy boosters!
