I don’t know why this has 4.9 stars. Highly suspicious. The greatest thing about it is the advertising is minimal. It clicks and makes a sound when you make a selection. The problem is sometimes you get that feedback and the item doesn’t actually get selected. So if you’re moving quickly you think you’ve made your three item match, but you actually haven’t, and then you’ve exceeded the capacity of the item tray and lose your round. This happens to me about as often as I successfully complete a level. It’s getting so annoying that I’m considering quitting the game. it also has a weird issue with smaller items where sometimes it just won’t allow you to select them at all. I will be touching the screen dozens of times right on top of an item with nothing else around it and the item will not get selected. I have to press my finger on the screen and hold it down for a second or two for the item to get selected. Selecting items in this way guarantees that you will run out of time.

I loved his game - and didn’t mind the ads- even though the ‘preview’ and ads for it in other games shows game play that ISN’T in the actual game. There are no actual 3D games. When I started playing there were daily game tools that you could earn by watching the obligatory ads. These tools were necessary to get through the hard levels and some levels would use two or three days worth of daily tools. I haven’t purchased the ‘ad free’ version but somehow my account has it. I love not having to watch the ads in the game but I also lost the opportunity to earn the extra daily items as they went away with the ads. The super hard levels are too hard to get through without these and it takes too long to earn them otherwise. I haven’t played in weeks but continue to collect the other daily item that you earn by checking in each day and helping team mates to slowly earn coins so that eventually I can play for a while and then go back to just checking in each day.

There are VERY few games I will pay to play. Most games get boring and do not hold my interest for long. This one - so far after several months - is an exception. I’ve stayed up far too late on work nights playing this game! So it finally occurred to me that perhaps spending $4.99 to eliminate ads would shorten the amount of time I spend playing, so I purchased the option. And it does indeed shorten the amount of time I play, but not necessarily in a good way! Every now and then I hit a super hard level that I get stuck on. The strategy for those levels was to watch the daily ads to earn coins until I had enough to extend the time and pass the level. But once you pay to remove ads, you no longer have the option to earn coins by watching ads. SUPER frustrating! I’m not going to spend money to buy coins, and now I have no way to earn them. All I get now is the single daily gift, which is rarely coins. So each day I’ve got 5 chances to pass the super hard level, and then I’m done until my lives refill. This could easily cause me to lose interest in the game. Please consider keeping the option to earn gifts by watching ads for those who’ve paid to remove ads. All I really wanted to do was stop watching an ad between each game.
