Candy Crush Saga Positive Reviews
Candy Crush Very FrustratingI do not get why a game is made to be no fun. This game is fun at first BUT it gets to where it is more frustration. Challenging is one thing but playing a level for days or weeks to beat it is absurd and no fun. The levels shouldn't be so hard to pass and from what I read in the reviews, a lot of people feel the same way. All these games are just alike. Start out fun but become impossible. Games are supposed to be fun and relaxing but I guess you never got that memo! I wind up deleting them. Think about easing up a bit please. And it still has the same glitch problems I wrote about before. You pass a level and it doesnt recognize it and you're sent right back. Or even better, I have paid for extra moves because one or two moves and I would finally be done with a level, something happens, money is taken and you're sent right back to start that same level again. Ridiculous! FIX THE GLITCH PLEASE!!! Finally bet a level I had played for several days, saw the sugar crush and thought yes this level is finally over only to have a glitch in the game and it didn't show i'd beat it and took me right back to the level I'd just beat and several days later- stuck again!!!!! This game is fun but losing its appeal because some of the levels are so hard and take to many tries and to much time to beat that it just takes the fun out of it and gets boring and frustrating. I know you are in it to make money and maybe everyone's comments don't matter. But this is a money pit. The wait time is to long between lives and you need to add more lives because you will be still ok in the money department. Make it more fun and ease up on some of the levels..Goldenmom12Version: 1.251.1.1
I finally give up! I won’t make it to 13,000I’ve been playing this game since the beginning. I openly admit to my addiction (and you know that King). I noticed that the game has changed as others have, I now have to spend more $1.99 to finish a level. It seems that you’re calculating the number of attempts and shortening them so that only a player who has stockpiled tools or randomly receives some advantage can finish the level without resorting to paying money. I began noticing this after level 10,000. I really love this game but I think I can put it down now and walk away.
I know Candy Crush will stay around for a long time because it’s an endearing game, but knowing that King has been sold to a big company where revenue is King, I’m going to step away now so I don’t feel like a fool for continuing to pay money.
The aspect of addiction represented by this game is not healthy and is akin to the slot machines in a casino. Inconsistent rewards together with color, lights, and random cute things, are a powerful and seductive trap.
As I let go of candy crush I noticed around me in the United States the pervasive Incursion of casinos, in fact I expect there to be at least one casino in every state if not more. I believe they’re going to replace malls, and as all of us are conditioned to the type of addiction that game like candy crush breed, yeah, Will all flock to those. And it won’t surprise me if the company that owns Candy crush now makes casino games… and so on and so on and so on..Giometta CastadivaVersion: 1.269.1.2
UnfairI’ve been playing Candy Crush for many years and in the 6000’s level-wise. I’m also a member of the King Royalty program. I am not connected through Facebook. I am connected with my email. I’ve invested quite a bit of money over the years. Any time I’ve contacted King, they’ve always been fair in reimbursing me when the game malfunctions. 3 days ago, I logged into King. I was informed I had 2 gifts to claim. I claimed gold. A lot of it. Literally right after, my game will not load. My computer generated picture is gone. Events are gone. All my boosters and gold are still available. The problem is, I cannot use the gold. In order to “play on” it prompts to use 10 gold bars. I get a “connecting” ring, and nothing ever happens. I’ve also received a “it’s not you, it’s us” or “no connection. Please try back later.” I’ve contacted King in reference to this problem. I’ve done every generic step. I have free space. I have restarted my phone. I have made sure the game is updated. King informed me that I would have to uninstall Candy Crush, and reinstall it. In doing so, I would lose anything I received for free. *cough cough* the gold bars I just claimed, and any boosters I’ve won. The only thing that would remain is what I’ve paid for. Uhhhh, no thanks, Vin (customer service rep). I will continue to complain and review this until my game is functioning correctly. It’s quite obvious to me what’s going on here. Guess being a LOYAL customer and paying into this game really has no real payout. What a joke..Lynnm12Version: 1.228.1.2
Confused on the games objectiveIs the game to relax the mind or to cheat its way into people buying more lives & other things to keep playing. If soo nothing is replacing about that. I’ve been playing this game for years (since it first came out) but I deleted it for about 5 yrs because I noticed it was making it more and more difficult to pass levels but it’s always reminding me to relax and play the game. I relax and play the game but I notice that it gives you two or three good moves during a very hard level then it’s hard to pass the level. Once your out of moves you have to pay for everything. It extra little games to play to get more moves or boosters are trash. For a week straight I’ve been getting the fish for everything I’ve played. Am I suppose to be relaxing orContemplating my whole life trying to win a level. I be soo into a game that my last move or so can determine if I win and the game cheats to wear I keep having to use all my gold bars before in all out and have to pay. It’s no where near relaxing to have to spend money after spending over 50 gold bars to win a single game. I’ve spend some money on trying to win. The game has crashed several times during those times and I can not get my money or those boosters/lives back I’ve bought. This game has to do better than it does. I’ve complained about this before but nothing had been done about it. I want to relax and forget about my problems for an hour or 3 not spend money to keep playing a game that suppose to help me relax and forget about spending money..FiendheadVersion: 1.225.0.1
🌺Lori’s Thought 🐾I totally think candy crush is awesome love playing the game but!!!! I totally hate the pig bank thing when I very first started playing this game/app ?, you had to bye it to even use it but I had a miss happen with my phone that made me have to use a temporary phone for awhile so I put the candy crush app on the phone and tried downloading my game I have been playing for years now and was not successful with the download so I just started over from the beginning which was not the most awesome thing at all but I also thought it’s been years sent I started playing the game and wanted to see the new update’s where add to it and they where very good like how now they give. you the pig bank with lots of gold bars for a bonus thing one receives while playing, I thought awesome they got enough people to complain about it or just got smarter but then you keep playing and it’s still a money taking piece of crap game that I ask myself why I let myself keep playing it and why I bought it so many times before in the past all i did was waste a lot of money my husband called it to my attention after we started the Apple share app that apple offers there consumers when they purchase their products and it’s called Apple share family plan that me and my husband set up for our family’s phone. Now that I have went on for ever trying to give you guys some insight to what made this question come about and why it was not sooner?? because I didn’t think I was actually spending that much but that is a totally not true!! I love candy crush but not that much and, I will continue to play and hope you guys that change the piggy bank and gold bar thing thing will keep making it better for the true lovers of candy crush 👍.Sargent lexVersion: 1.191.0.2
Fav but also frustratingI've been playing for at least a decade so this is my favorite game. I got up to over 11k levels without paying one cent but also watched a heck of alot of commercials. I decide to splurge one day and paid 99 cents and it's been downhill ever since. Why give folks the option to watch ads to get stuff and then stifle progress? I've paid with my time. Also, who wants an update when they'll lose all the lives they've saved up? I've logged in to Facebook so if it saves progress then why can't it save my lives? It needs to get better. I find myself playing more of other games and trying new ones because this one gets frustrating. Keeping me on the same level for a month or longer with WAY less opportunities to earn coins and boosters. I used to have a chance to win weekly competitions but that's been reduced to zero. There was a time when I used to wait for new levels to be developed. Now I can't get past one level. This game was a great stress reliever but now it's becoming a source of stress and frustration. I could deal with the cheating glitches because I wasn't paying cash but I was paying with my time watching a whole bunch of commercials. There's a limit on lives you cam use in a day that are given to you by your friends. There's a monthly limit. I barely have lives, no boosters, not winning any levels or competitions, so what's fun about that? It's almost like I was penalized for actually spending money. I'm basically a founding fan / early adopter and this is how you treat me (and others I've read about)? You're about to lose me too so please fix it..RulzbrakrVersion: 1.272.2.1
Love the game, but not on days where my temper is shortThis game is fun, but can also be annoying at times. The difficulty pacing is really weird. It gives you several normal levels, then throws a really hard one at you every now and then. I’m not really a fan, but it’s ok.
My main issue however is the constant pop ups whenever I’m just trying to play the game. And I’m not talking about ads. You can play this game for hours without watching a single ad, I haven’t since install since they’re a choice, but whenever I open the game and go to play a level I have to go through several windows of what’s essentially a repackaged Fortnite battle pass or some event I don’t care about. I really don’t care to buy the Cool version or race random people, so I just skip over it. Overall, it’s mildly annoying at worst, pretty fun at best.
It beats other free mobile games, in my opinion, because the only time you’d watch an ad is for rewards. You don’t get forced to in between levels, it’s just that you could watch one to get a boost to the start of your level or extra moves if you fail. I really do hate that the bar is that low that it makes this seem good. Some levels feel like they’re begging you to watch ads/spend money because they’re borderline impossible without it, but maybe that’s just me. I usually give it a couple days then come back to it and see if I can do it then..THROW SCOOTER AT BIRD HARDVersion: 1.315.0.1
Candy Crush ScamCandy crush among many other games generate only whatever it wants to. If you don’t give the game money, it doesn’t let you win. If u got candy stripes or a candy bomb, if the game wants to, it’ll generate specific candies to use your specials at will. It’s a waste of time because in the end, at some point you will rage quit. The theme of the game and stuff is nice, but you get my point. One example of unfairness in this game is when I was on a level, I needed to get one ingredient. The striped candies were all in sap so I needed to get them out. There were two different sections that you could make moves in. One had the majority of the candy, and the other had two striped candies, some peppermint barriers, and the one ingredient. So I proceeded to get rid of the barriers from the other side by using horizontal striped candies. When I was down to my last 10 moves, I only needed one horizontal striped candy to break the last barrier on the other side to get the ingredient. Yet the game proceeded to give me useless moves and candies. When I finally got the striped candy that I needed, then game generated sequences of candies to drop the striped candy all the way to the bottom, where it was then useless. I then only had two lives left which did not help me at all because the game didn’t give me the specific candies and sequences that I needed. I then proceeded to do this level over 20 times with no avail. By the time I started typing this review, I had just deleted the game after trying time and time again to beat the level. Sure you could download this game. You may even beat the level that I had so much trouble with. But at some time, sooner or later the game will rig you after all of your hard work.._slicknick2xxVersion: 1.183.0.3
UpdatesI want to start by saying I’ve been playing this game for a long time and I’m a huge fan. With that being said I’ve reached out several times to complain about the update that gave us the backpack. In my game there is no way to get my boosters out of the backpack. I can be stuck on a level for literally weeks with tons of boosters in there that could help me that I can’t use. Even timed boosters that I win will just stay in there. Once I win the level they will all come pouring out. Is this a gimmick by the developer to get the player to purchase boosters? If so this is really awful and not a great way to market or keep players. I have reloaded the game several times thinking it’s some kind of glitch but it just stays the same. The boosters that I win go into the backpack when I click on them to get them out it prompts me to to click on the purchase button when I do it wants me to purchase this booster that I already have. Again not fair. How can you expect anyone to beat a Nightmarishly Hard Level with no boosters? I’m disappointed and frustrated. I may have to stop playing until the issue can be resolved. I can’t really advance in levels anyway..Flutterby99Version: 1.168.0.3

Great game! Very addictive! But it could be better.I love this game, especially how it has endless levels unlike most games. However I think some of the things in the game are Ridiculously Annoying. 1: When you play certain levels you get gold bars that fill up a piggy bank & when you reach a certain number you can collect... except there’s one catch, you have to pay (the limited time price of) $2.99. 2: whenever I win or get extra lives from friends & activate/use them, my number of moves never change. 3: The daily spinning wheel never stays consistent & Every time I’m about to get a Jackpot it changes, yet other spins stop immediately. Some stop 5 items after you spin, some 3, some more or less, but you will never get the Jackpot & Rarely extra moves. 4: Level consistency is nonexistent. The first 3 (or 55) times you play a level it might be impossible but on the 4th (56th) try you might beat it in less than half the moves doing the exact same things. Also you may be given a doughnut or other candy at the start for one of the attempts & a different one or none at all the next (not counting the bonus items carried over from other levels when you have a streak). 5: When you worked really hard to beat other levels & carry over bombs & such or use one in existence that you made or grime the ones given you, there are times it will give you no moves (even at the start) except for using your bomb or special candy. Yet if you played the level without them it would Obviously have to give you moves. This becomes a really big deal when you are playing a level with chocolate or blocks where there is only a few candy's free to start with. There are more annoying things too but these are the worst!.Lisha-KVersion: 1.124.0
Fascinating gameSo easy and satisfying. Really meditative for me. I play this game obsessively for weeks or months every few years when life messes with my mind by giving me big personal problems I cannot face or solve and I need something I can do that’s almost mindless but really attractive, not too challenging but still mentally stimulating, requires some low level strategy, an occasional loss with no real consequences or disappointment, very positive and super cheerful. While I’m playing this game I start subconsciously digging into my real life problem and I work a lot of stuff out. Eventually I move on with my real life & set this game aside but I admit that I looooove this game and wish there was a documentary about its creation and the people at HQ. My one word of advice if you don’t want to get frustrated and feel like you have to pay for boosters is ALWAYS glance at the objective of the level in the upper right hand corner. Each objective requires different tactics & strategy and can be beat within a few tries once you figure those out..BeautyintheeyeofLarissaVersion: 1.217.0.3
I’m tired of hank.Holy cow am I angry. I open my app today only to find GREEN PUZZLE PIECES in the place of the green candy. HUH?? Omg it almost sent me into a spiraling meltdown. I can’t look at them. They’re giving me a headache. I actually don’t care at all why you decided to change out the green candies. Change them back. Puzzle pieces don’t even make sense considering the name of the game is CANDY crush. Not candy crush plus green puzzle pieces. Insanity. Secondly who are all these “friends” asking me to send them lives??? Candy crush, I have never friended anyone on this app. I don’t want anyone but me myself and I while I’m playing. And now also every time I finish a level I’m haunted by a user named hank with a cow as his profile picture thing. And hank always beats me. I never even knew that candy crush was a competition. But now I have to deal with the crushing reality that I will always come in second to hank. Always. No matter my score hank will just seemingly pull ahead. This hank drama led me to even more angst. Did I somehow link my Facebook or social media to candy crush? Is hank just simply the father of someone I’ve befriended on the internet? Are these people asking me to send them lives old work colleagues, or even worse, old high school classmates? Are people seeing that I’m playing, or that I’m losing constantly to hank? Since when did this game become so social? I also can’t even open the app without some sort of notification trying to get me to complete a mission. These missions used to be fairly easy and doable such as collecting candies or completing hard levels. But I guess adios to that because now they’re like “if u collect 17.6 candies on a Tuesday between the hours of 5 and 6 am while it’s raining outside we’ll give u one singular color bomb!!” Like huh? I mean i’ll do it cuz like I need any help I can get to beat hank but it’s getting tiring! Still gonna play tho. Anyway Gn..Allie2251Version: 1.204.0.2
Game is frustratingI loved this game when I first started playing, but as I have played, I’m getting more frustrated because you can’t pass a “regular level” let alone a “hard level”. I’m on level 345 and I’ve only gotten this far because I wanted to try to keep with it but I’m ready to delete this game soon. There’s never enough moves in any level-reg or hard level-for example, YOU HAVE 26 moves to delete 3 layers and unbury 4 bears etc…. By the time you get them close to being unburied, you’re out of moves. Even with some of the helpers etc…. They want you to spend $$$ to buy more helpers but they don’t always get you where you want if the candies don’t fall where you need them to. Just getting frustrated with playing 5 hearts and I have to wait to play again. Ridiculous. I’ve been forgetting to come back to play for days or even weeks lately, especially with the other new games that are similar, so if you want to play a game that’s not out for all $$$, this one isn’t for you..Djoy1622Version: 1.274.1.1
Limited And Makes You Spend Money! Doesn’t Take Stress Away!Okay, if your friends told you, “Hey play this game! It will be fun!” Then they are right. But there is more to this game than meets the eye. For example, you lost a couple of levels and you are getting better and better. But you fail just one more level and suddenly, there is a little sign that says you have no more hearts left. You can’t actually play the game until they recharge. Also, it makes you spend money on gold bars so you can use this fake money to buy spinning wheel turns or lollipop hammers on a level that is particularly hard. It is a good game, but unless you’re willing to spend 7.99 on a special pack, every single time you play, this is not recommended by me. Lastly, I just have to say that this will not swipe your stress away. It actually creates more stress because you have 2 moves left and 14 jellies! Chocolate consuming the board. Okay go ahead. Get the game. I don’t care. I’m just warning you. ChikinNuget34 out.Jelly Splash lover saysVersion: 1.172.0.1
Great game but consider some changesI downloaded this game a few days ago after having off and on (deleting and redownloading. I noticed once u get pass the first level which is just a tutorial the difficulty levels sky rocketed fast and I was struggling getting past levels at level 10. It’s so frustrating when your confident in your ability to pass the level you’ve been struggling on and the game gives u bad switches and the actual game has to pause u to shuffle your board for below average switches and you end up having to use your moves on a switch that is not benefitting you in the level and usually end up dying. I think this happens more than you guys at your headquarters are aware for me it’s like very other level and it’s frustrating when u have two lives left and have to waste one because the game gives u bad switches. I think I would enjoy the game more if I didn’t have the stress of trying to preserve my lives. I definitely think that more lives for example 10 lives would be much better but I would really love if we could have unlimited lives to complete reduce that stress..JaztocuteVersion: 1.240.0.2
Very addictive game, can be frustratingI really like the game most of the time. I have been playing for a couple months and it can be addictive. Many of the levels are fun and you do need some strategies. But there is a major flaw to the game, and that is sometimes you and your gameplay don’t matter in it one bit. You will win or lose the level regardless of what you do. I have had levels when I made 1 or 2 simple moves and everything seems to blowup and I completed it. I didn’t even really look at the level yet and have 40 moves left. Other levels, I have played for 5 days straight with no possibility of success and then you just have to wait for lives. I have literally played all 5 lives with only 1 move possible and get nowhere to beating it. Doesn’t matter your strategy or skill, just bad luck...but for days. That is annoying. The other day, I had a puzzle I tried 50+ times over a couple days. I tried boosters, etc. Then the next morning I woke up, first try lucky move after lucky move and beat the level with several moves left. Kind of annoying. The computer could literally play without you..MC5151517Version: 1.177.1.3
WARNING! PAY ATTENTION!I’ve been playing this game for... a long time, and it’s addictive and colorful gameplay never fails to pull me in. There have been times when I will sit down, intending to play only a couple rounds, and end up spending hours playing levels and trying to achieve my ends. I had never bought anything in game and had really considered it, but there was one round I was so close to winning, I gave in and bought a pack of 4 candy hammers for around $1. I impulsively bought the combo, but what happened still has me pulling at my hair.
I purchased the pack, immediately receiving a clarified purchase email from Apple, through King. However, I never got my rewards in game, ended up losing the level, and losing money for no good reason. I can’t tell if this was a purposeful scam by the company, or just a glitch, but all that set aside, I am VERY unsatisfied with the in app purchase system and the company, no matter how useful some power ups could be at times. I will no time in the intermediate future be purchasing anything from any King gaming systems, and I write this review with a warning to all future users wanting to buy things from the candy crush store. I did not contact King after this happened, because I was not so intent on getting my $0.99 cents back, but it was still a very frustrating experience. I recommend just working towards your in game rewards and not gambling with this dishonest company with your money. The game can be fun without extra store bought items that you may not even receive. I got of easy with my $1, but future users may not. There are in game backs that can be purchased for a LOT more money. Please be careful!! Overall, I would give this game a three star rating, because my experience was great until that unfortunate experience with the money. Great game and all, but I feel very cheated by King..Cncowj isVersion: 1.183.0.3
Great game, but watch your pocketsI love Candy Crush! I hate how they nickel and dime you with the gold bars and power ups! One day it’s 60 bars to fill up then they drop that to 30 bars for the same price because people are willing to pay. I don’t think they care about anything but that bottom dollar. They need to add an extra step in the process when adding life or hours for life because one mistake and your done. Basically a “are you sure” button to make sure you want to make that transaction. This added feature could be helpful to do many I’m sure. Candy Crush gets over on many with this function. It is ridiculous how they keep going up on the prices of things. I recommend people stop spending so much money so they can drive these prices back to a more reasonable price. I am losing interest in. Candy Crush because I can’t afford to play at times and the prices Lee rising. I have spent a significant amount and don’t plan to spend anymore because I feel they are taking advantage of people..RabpoohVersion: 1.166.0.4
I hate that I love it...I read the previous review that had a love-hate relationship with this game, and I completely agree. It is incredibly addicting, but it would be more fun to play if the app designers gave in a little bit and gave people more for their money (1) increase the total number of gold bars that you can buy in your piggy bank (30? Seriously?) without raising the price. It would be nice if you also earned gold bars after you completed so many levels on your first try instead of just boosters. And yes on the daily spin “jackpot!” Why put it on there if you are never going to win? I also think you shouldn’t lose a move when you use a booster - if I’m down to my last move and I’ve got two color bottoms on the game board, I should be able to use up the boosters before I lose my moves to see if that helps clear the board.
So small changes would go a long way. People would still spend money on the app. I think people would spend more money if we were getting more things for free occasionally.
But it’s crack, so that’s why I rated it four stars😉.SushimusicfootballVersion: 1.137
Absolutely a Pay 2 Play GameLook there’s a reason that this game has rehab centers for addiction. There’s a a reason that your aunt got mad at you for not sending her lives a decade ago. There’s a reason that on your very last turn you almost beat the level. It’s because it’s addicting and king wants your money and they were the first mobile game company to really have people digging into their pockets to buy gold and all of these boosts. Why do you think that as the game progresses every level is either a hard, super hard, nightmare or legendary level that you can either 1. Never clear without buying more turns and/or 2. Almost clear because your last turn a lot of cool stuff happened and so you pay the 10 gold to finish off the level. It’s the biggest cash grab ever. My advice is to just enjoy the first 100 levels or so. Ya you won’t progress in the game but trust me you’re not missing much. They just add dumb things to higher up levels to make them impossible to clear without paying. Ya it’s a fun game but there are a million fun games that you don’t have to spend a fortune on..NinnyvanVersion: 1.321.3.1

FreezesNot sure what’s wrong with the app, but a lot of the times when you play ads to get extra moves/boosters, the app freezes and you have to force quit the app and lose your turn. It’s getting highly frustrating..8mk12Version: 1.286.1.1
Can not use games from envelopeMany problems. No facebook you erased my progress also now no facebook but the envelope on left hand side with a number I tap it push accept. But I cannot use the game. It reduces the number but gives me no game. You broke game. Fix it.Snowman11994411Version: 1.196.1.1
Please. Free me.This game has WAY too many pop ups. Between levels I have to flip between 3-5 screens and watch animations that I do not care about. I’d rather have the option to barrel through levels but instead I’m stuck being brought out of levels and plopped back onto the main screen to watch like. A box of chocolates open, or whatever. I do not care, let me explode some pieces of candy please for the love of god.Skate.lynVersion: 1.320.1.1

Candy Crush Saga Negative Reviews
AIPretty sure AI is now the culprit behind not letting users get past certain levels. At which point there are no balloons that pass to watch ads for boosters and there are also no boosters available to get when you watch ads at the end of a unbeaten level when events like the All Stars comes around. I am quite certain that not all the “users” are real, especially in the tournaments, they are there just to make it look like you’re behind someone sporadically throughout the game play so that you will buy more gold bars, boosters and etc just to get ahead. If you pay once for gold bars the option to get boosters by watching ads never come up again, also the random ballon that would cross on the main part of the app, non existent after paying for boosters. Also the Candy Royale should not even automatically start if don’t have any lives left, what’s the point. Speaking of which, boosters that have a timer should only count down when you are actually playing, and stop when navigating around in the app. Any game that you are forced to buy boosters just to pass to the next level is a money grab. They make you wait 30 minutes after you have used the 5 lives just to get one hoping that you will buy more to continue. If anything it should be another full set of five lives after 30 minutes at least. Don’t buy into it! Don’t feed their greed. This game has become a total scam. They only use the “events” to get people to spend that seldom if ever do, just to have the game itself not playable. This has AI written all over it..DRnLAVersion: 1.275.0.3
Impossible. A Literal Gamble.I am not a person who goes out of their way to write any kind of review (positive or negative) for any game or app, but if you are reading this before downloading this game, abandon any hope of finding any fun or appropriately challenging game. Level 155. Thats how far I got when I realized that I was not playing any strategy game at all. Level 155 is literally IMPOSSIBLE to beat on your own, you have to buy boosters if you do, otherwise just wither your lives away until literal chance lets you win, the boards are not made for you to win with the amount of turns they give you and even with some of the upgrade you’ll get the WORST starting set up possible EVERY TIME. The game is supposed to have you win on sheer strategy, after all, why would they give you x number of moves if someone hasn’t proven beat it in those moves or less?? But you literally have to keep trying until you somehow happen to get the right candies dropping through, not until you figure out the best strategy for the goal. And don’t even get me started on the “hints,” i played 5 games following JUST the hints, which are supposed to help you win eventually right?? Not. Even. Close. The game literally takes ANY combination of candy, regardless of the goal of the level, and tells you to try it. It’s annoying because at that point they just want to derail you, and that defeats the whole purpose of it. Don’t get this game. Its not worth your time and eventually it'll try to force you to spend some actual money on it..EphemeralyumVersion: 1.269.1.2
Good game but levels are poorly designedOnce you get well into the hundreds of levels (120, 140...) the levels start becoming hopelessly difficult. I got stuck on one level that requires like 10 bombs and 10 stripes, only gives you 13 moves, and has only 4 small (4x4) isolated places to work in. On top of that two of those places almost never have any moves in them. I tried with maximum power ups until I ran out, I still fell abysmally short. In total I probably died 100 times on the level and don’t expect I would ever pass it. I’m seasoned in these kind of games, playing Bejeweled and Zookeeper more than I would ever want to admit over the past decade, so I don’t miss good moves and am very good at manipulating the board (thinking ahead). But on this level often you only have one or two moves total anyway, which makes thinking ahead useless and turns the game into a “let’s see if I can flip s coin 20 times and get heads every time” game (actually that game would be easier to win). I even had hints turned on (which I hate) to make extra sure I never missed any opportunities. Clearly the design of this game is to eventually have people pay $10 per level when they get far enough in the game (power ups and extra lives). No game is worth spending money continuously to keep playing it. I was winning in my little weekly competition (and it’s Sunday, the day it ends), but I still uninstalled the game because some levels require a 1-in-14-million luck anomaly (even with maxed power ups) to pass. Too bad because it’s otherwise fun to play..OstinatoFreakVersion: 1.166.0.4
Level 1847Not beatable unless you have all the lollipops in the world. There is now way to beat this level without the extras like the spaceship, lollipops, or others. I have the extras like the chocolate sprinkle candies and the fishes and they don’t do ANYTHING to help!! You have to have in app purchases of the extras you can but while playing the game. Not okay! Rigged game. They say this game is fun to swipe the stress away. NOT! This game GIVES you the stress! Days later and still can’t pass the freaking level. I have had all the extras that you check off at the beginning of the game. And it just wastes them. The fish don’t go after the black blocks under the cherries. They do nothing that you really need them to do. Even when you get the black sprinkles with a stripped candy and can play that it STILL DOESNT GET THE BLACK BOXES UNDER THE CHERRIES!!!!!!! It’s crap!! Sick of it! You cannot pass this level without multiple lollipop hammers or the freaking spaceship. And this freaking game doesn’t give you ANY ability to gain coins without paying for them. Stupid. It’s a money grab every level now and you’ll get stuck on one like level 1847 where you MUST pay to pass. Ridiculous. This is supposed to be where you swipe your stress away. Not become stressed out.
New update: now they have a game where you can pass 50 levels, yes I just said 50, and all you get is a lollipop and a bomb 🙄 50 levels just for those two things?? Do you know how much money it takes to pass 50 levels??????? It’s NOT WORTH IT!!!.AlcbabyVersion: 1.208.0.1
Pay to passIf you have extreme patients and don’t mind spending weeks playing the same level hoping they’ll finally let you pass this time, then this game is for you! If you like to actually progress through games in a responsible time line, I would not recommend! The game starts off easy enough. But eventually you start getting hit with levels that are next to impossible to beat without boosters. The first few are on the house and they’ll give them to you for free. But as the levels progress even harder, you’ll find yourself needing more boosters because “I was able to beat that one level with them!” But the catch is you done used your few free ones. If you want to get boosters now you have to PAY! And price is crazy high. $8 to buy 50 gold bars that’ll buy you just 1, and if you pick boosters that are cheaper, you can get 2 for $8! But the cheaper ones don’t work well enough to beat the game level and then you end up spending more to buy more to pass a level. I paid to beat 4 levels, and noticed a pattern and quickly deleted the game. So if you want to pay to pass, this is your game! If you wanna try and tough it out and spend weeks playing the same level, this is your game! But if you want to actually progress through a game without having to pay $8-$15 to beat a level, I do not recommend..Gamer12mVersion: 1.291.0.1
Pay to loseLet’s start with me loving candy crush. I’m on level 1,933 I play almost every day. But, there’s so many things that are frustrating for users that want to continue to play the game. First, WHY CAN I ONLY USE 20 LIVES A DAY?!! please I just wanna know. I’m so miserable watching that long timer for a single life that’s gonna be used up in 2 minutes maybe less. Plus they’re lives that friends sent so they should be mine without limitation. Second, why do I never get the option to watch videos to earn boosts or lives? I literally get so sad because I’m watching my bf watch his videos to continue playing. Maybe it’s my fault for ever paying into the game. It hurts to rate this low on a game I enjoy but the fun is taken away with every little update they do. Way too many restrictions on users and almost forces them to buy boosters even though you still won’t win 😐
Update: currently level 2394 and unless you have the patience to continue failing till they seem like you’ve had enough don’t download the game. why does it take like 30 minutes per life like this is causing more stress. I’m not about to pay to win every time bc what’s the point? I understand challenging levels but like who’s gonna take out 94 jellies with 10 moves. It’s so unrealistic and not even fun to play anymore. My rate still stands and I don’t think it will change unless they make the game enjoyable again..Bleh bleh bleh blehhVersion: 1.291.0.1
DisappointedSorry everyone, I just couldn’t stay silent anymore.. To start, I deleted all the Playx games due to the totally stupid, moronic boards. So I thought let’s go back to candy crush, well it’s gone and there’s all these other candy crush games. Candy Crush Saga is where we’re at. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in the death of candy crush, because all these run offs are a complete joke!!! I love a good challenge, but this game is a total disgrace to all gamers!!!! They have more boards that are so totally stupid and literally impossible to beat unless you get a miracle, like when Jesus rises from the dead on the 3rd day, oh wait sounds like this game. After wasting everything you’ve accomplished on the 3rd day Jesus rises from the dead and you beat the board with no weapons at all. While the game makers get rich from you watching all these ads, you sit there pulling your hair out over the stupidity of the design of the boards. This is from going all the way to level over 1500. It was cool till you get up to about 500, then you get the boards that are just so stupid and unbeatable no matter how much you have in your arsenal, but the game wants to sell you a package that’s 1/4 what you already have. Based on ongoing research with friends that pay. They go further than I based on paying for stupid offers (like I said earlier) for packages that are sometimes 1/10 of what I have collected and using. They string you along cause they know your stupid enough to play their money making game. But hey, like they say “it’s free”. Yeah right.....DELETED !!!!.Catdaddy00Version: 1.209.3.1
Pay-to-win mechanicsA money black hole for players and a profit windfall for King. This is typical for the genre of games out there that claim they’re “free” except for the well-known fact that they’re designed to allow the player to only get to a certain level. After that you’re forced to have to use what boosters you have and if you don’t have them you are forced to pay money for more boosters to continue. I have been stuck at the same level for several days but I thought I could get past it without purchasing some boosters. It is clear after multiple attempts that it is not possible without spending money, and regardless of how much of your hard-earned money you spend, there are no guarantees that you be able to advance. It’s only a game, so why do some people spend hundreds of dollars to achieve a high level? Bragging rights, perhaps, or an uncontrollable addiction that King exploits? Why do you think this company advertises on television? TV commercials are not cheap so that’s a testament to the amount of money they rake in. They would have been better off if they sold this game for a few dollars so players could enjoy the game without feeling pressure to spend large amounts of money. Companies like Apple and Google don’t care about how badly people are getting ripped off either- they get a cut of King’s in-app purchases which makes them just as greedy and unethical. Predatory monetization methods and pay-to-win mechanics. Free to play? BS! I uninstalled this piece of garbage and will NEVER download another app from greedy, unethical King again..CaelikOfAzerothVersion: 1.189.0.2
Really 🙄First of all, I was writing a really mad review for this and then it just exited me out and deleted everything so if this is harsh I actually have a reason. The first thing is that I’ve been reading other reviews that say that they can watch ads for extra lives and that’s cool and all but like… WHY CANT I!?! I am a very loyal game player but like why didn’t I get everything else everyone else is getting?!? I can’t even watch any ads!!! Second, if you guys are going to have a million pop ups that say “buy this piggy bank for $2.00 to get thirty gold” EVERY TIME YOU FINISH A LEVEL, then I’d rather just have mandatory ads because you can literally get that much money from winning the champions race soooo… Also every day there’s like a “Saturday/Monday/Friday/etc”sale, IT DOESNT MEAN ANNYYTTHIINNGG IF YOU HAVE ONE EVERY DAY!!! I’m not even kidding it’s literally every day. Also why can’t you buy infinite power up’s don’t you think you would get more money??? BUT NO, THEY ONLY SELL POWERUPS FOR LIKE FOUR DAYS!!! Like I hate how you always advertise for money it don’t actually have anything worth the money your asking us to pay! Last thing is the levels are way to hard, and I get it, they’re supposed to be hard, but you can at least give us easier access to powerups and boosters but like three boosters are like 19 gold 😒😒🙄🙄. I really think you should ACTUALLY LOOK AT YOUR REVIEWS!!! PEOPLE HAVE GOOD SUGGESTIONS BUT… WHATEVER, I GUESS!!! Thanks for making a game to take peoples money and waste there time 🤭🤭🤭🤭!!! Byyeeee ya’llll
PS:If you read this entire thing you deserve a cookie 😊😊😊
Love, your girlie Olivia.SurprisedlionVersion: 1.247.0.2
Good game but needs to be reviewed on a few subjectsI love this game but it is so annoying when I use the boosters at the bottom (like the red hand, the sucker, the disco thingy that lets out 3 wrapped candies) and they don’t even accomplish what I need to finish the level. Like for example I will have 3 different areas with one jelly in each. And I only have one move left. So theoretically I would use the disco thing that lets out 3 wrapped candies and they SHOULD put each exploding wrapped candy in each area of jelly since you are using a power up it should help you accomplish the goal of the level but more often than not it will maybe put one of the exploding wrapped candies in the area I need it but just puts the other two in areas that don’t help me at all. It’s so annoying especially since it’s hard to achieve those boosters. I’ve seen this problem with Swedish fish and the coconut wheels as well. If it’s not going to actually be helpful then it should let the player choose where the Swedish fish go, or which direction the coconut wheel goes, and where the exploding wrapped candies get placed. I’m on level 700 something and the levels are getting so hard that I need the boosters quite often. But when they aren’t even helpful it’s just annoying. I’ll probably bring quitting the game since I’m getting into the more complicated levels and the boosters don’t even really help. Please fix this issue and I will probably return. I’d really enjoy the game with little to no complaints if so. Also one other thing, I feel like after you complete a level successfully, and you go to replay it. You should be able to quit the level without losing a life since you’ve already beat the level. Okay done with my rant thanks..MouschiiiVersion: 1.206.0.2
Favorite gameI am a amending my past review. Please note: Candy Crush is absolutely packed with ads. They are constant and MOST of them appear to be scams. Fraudulent ads for games or programs promising free money, but every single one of these is a scam or a phishing program looking to steal info from users. Candy Crush developers clearly have ZERO conscience in their marketing and will promote these ads shamelessly as long as they get paid for it. Again: do NOT click on ANY ads in this game. They are phishing scams.
To be honest, it’s the only game app I have besides Scrabble. I have played Angry Birds and occasionally have tried other games but have been playing this quite a while now. I like puzzles and to me this is a puzzle game. You can definitely get better at using the boosters and the design and ingredients in each puzzle. I get the frustrations of some reviewers, but my biggest issue is the constant pop up windows trying to get you to buy something or participate in some extra feature. Some of us just want to play the game. As far as spending money to pass levels or buy boosters, pay attention here: I am on level 13,407 and have never, not one single time, bought anything. I haven’t paid a dime for any extras like boosters or lives. I have been a tick on one level for several months before. I have passed 30 levels in a day before. Still, never cost me a penny. I used to be at the point where I would finish the levels and have to wait for updates to get new ones, but the levels got harder and I didn’t play much and got behind again. Still zero $$ ever paid. If they had an option to pay a few bucks and see fewer ads and pop ups I’d do that probably..XsmokeXeaterXVersion: 1.272.3.1
Way too frustrating.I am on level 4000. What I have learned is that every game now takes several days to a week to win unless you pay. I am really, really sick of this. It hasn’t been fun for some time now. I rarely play anymore because of the constant frustration of levels with too few moves and it has become obvious that they intentionally mess with your game so you cannot win. It is not random. My husband and I both play. I originally signed him up from my account years ago and I have contacted Candy Crush about the differences in his game and mine. I was informed by an employee that they give different players different options and opportunities. He occasionally buys stuff, I do not. About a year ago I bought some power ups to see what would happen and the game became harder to win instantly. That and the constant, unending pop ups! Buy this, look at that, force you to look at some idiotic disapproving cartoon while you play, force you to participate in a race that drives home how you lost the race - Oh no! Hurry up and buy something so you can win!!!! I would buy the occasional power up if I found the game pleasant and fun. Since you are doing your best to force me to, I will not. I will continue to play when I need a distraction while I am waiting at an appointment but that’s about it..Lucky*98Version: 1.255.4.1
Dum dumThis game is dumb, once you get in the 200 levels it all changes to make it so you have no chance at winning unless you use Gold that is impossible to earn to continue. all i can say it was fun till you realize it is just about buying wins ha. You can pass any level and they intentionally make it so you have to use pay for gold or massive earned credits of cookies fish and lolly pop hammers ect to advance. What a joke top it off with five lives that you never advance and sit on the same level till you collect your free stuff that still does not help when they only allow 1 move on the hard levels and it is rigged so it is not even luck, they intentionally make it so you have to purchase at the last few moves just to finish the levels. So dumb I can finsh level 325 anytime buy using 10 gold or 5 candy perks but i want to see how long or if even possible to advance on the rigged game with no add ons and it is just annoying at this point over three hundred tries with a max of three different moves to make! the game suks and just aggravates you while boasting about fun by kicking back and swiping ha! The whole pretending there is any skill involved is nonsense when most of the difficult levels only allow one move so you really have no choice, not even fun i will delete it now!.Fukthis apVersion: 1.266.0.3
If you enjoy feeling cheated, this game is for you.All the negative reviews that you see are true. They make no effort whatsoever trying to hide their deception, their cheating and their greed. Once you get to a certain point, you will not move on until they want you to. They will make it impossible without using boosters that you can pay for or using gold bars for extra moves. They know how long you’ll put up with it and you won’t be able to make a wrong move and you’ll beat a level you’ve been stuck on for weeks without even trying. It’s all an algorithm to extract as much money as possible from you. There will be times that you’ll use a color bomb candy and it won’t clear all the candies that are the color you chose to clear. The striped candy used to be oriented the way that you completed the 4 candy combo, now it’s whatever way they see fit (usually it’ll go the way you don’t want it to go). If you use boosters before the round starts, they will often times make it so that you must use it right away and it will do little to nothing to help you out, making it a complete waste. I can go on for days about the garbage baked into this game to make it absolutely infuriating. Do yourself a favor and stay far away, this game is 100% rigged. The reviews are true..Böb löblawVersion: 1.249.0.1
Quickly becomes pay to winI only played up to level 100 and something because this game quickly becomes hard-to-impossible to play without boosters, which are few and far between without paying. Like, half the board is covered with ice cubes and locks and vinyls and growing chocolates that you need to basically blow up multiple times in order to begin to progress against the board. It’s not really a puzzle game. It really stops becoming a matching tiles game. You are desperately trying to get striped and wrapped candies you can combine to try and beat the board. Often times you have to use boosters which aren’t cheating but it does honestly feel like you’re cheating against the puzzles. When you’re doing “good” at a level you’re basically creating chain reactions of effects and just watching them fizzle across screen passively instead of having fun playing the game. The glitzy lights quickly lose their allure as I became stressed knowing I could only fail a puzzle a certain amount of time before getting locked out from trying again for a while. Oftentimes I would run out of moves in a game just a couple visible moves away from beating a puzzle and be offered a chance to buy a few more moves (not even as many moves I needed to beat the puzzle, but sometimes as few as 5 moves). If you play without doing any in-app purchases like me you are basically heavily relying on the game to randomly give you free boosters or the perfect combinations of tiles so you can build the explosive candies and win. No shade to anyone who plays because the game seems really appealing, but the extent to which it is designed to make you desperate to spend money to keep playing is truly insane..AParmesanVersion: 1.243.0.1
I miss when I could actually play the gameI first downloaded this game in July 2022 and loved it for months. I didn’t play it every day but really enjoyed it. Now however it’s become less and less enjoyable to play it — I barely even GET to play it. I’ve been stuck on lvl 687 for about a week. I don’t want to spend any more money on this game but I have no boosters or gold bars and this level is impossible to beat without them. The funny thing is it’s not even labeled as a hard level. It should be easy but the amount of moves I’m given is nowhere close to being enough for me to beat it. I’m so frustrated. I love this game when I can actually play it, but it’s clear the devs only care about receiving money. Another thing is I’m no longer given the option to watch ads when I run out of moves to help me beat the level. They used to give me it often, then at some point the ads would go black and I’d be given no extra moves, and now the option is completely gone. I shouldn’t struggle this much to pass a level that isn’t even considered “hard” in the game. It’s been like this for a while—taking days to pass a level just for the cycle to repeat itself. The game is fun, but I’m so tired of being stuck on the same levels for ages just because the devs are so desperate for money..SourcreamicecubeVersion: 1.243.0.1
Giving 1 Star!So despite rarely posting reviews. Digress. So putting this on every one of my games that I see the Candy Crush AD. They’ve lately been popping up on every game I play and they hold you prisoner past the little waiting line at the bottom to watch their stuff….then you try to exit “after” respectfully allowing them to show their stuff and they redirect you out of the game to the App Store so you are forced to escape “everything” to be back at candy crushes candy….and you just stare at it…looking at their candy forever. The other ad’s display a normal decent show and then let you decide yay or nay for now. Candy crush may be desperate. It makes me dislike them. And wouldn’t download there stuff simply due to BAD taste on their part for rigging up a prison hostage to watch there ad. Btw, before all this years ago I did download there game and it simply wasn’t for me. So, it’s not like I’ve never tried their game. Get it together Candy Crush. Only there ad so far is making me just stop playing my games and back out come back later when Candy Crush hopefully goes to sleep. Gee whiz. Like holding people staring at there ad forever would make “anybody” want them MORE. Isn’t the point to entice people with a pleasurable experience. Haha! Gotta laugh. Who thought of that brilliant idea?.#FunnyWorkingGirlVersion: 1.323.0.2
Linking Facebook account does NOT save progress across devices!All of my progress from playing this game for YEARS (and spending a decent amount of $$) is now gone. I normally play on my iPad, but decided to play on my iPhone while away from home. I signed in with my Facebook account like I use on my iPad to play, and everything seemed to be fine. Later, when I went to play on my iPad, I was forced to sign in with my Facebook account which was strange. Normally the app recognizes that I am using my Facebook account to play. After I signed in, I was taken to Level 1, instead of where I left off when playing on my phone. I opened the app on my phone and was forced to sign in again with my Facebook account, and again I was taken to Level 1. All of my progress is GONE. I am so furious! Reaching out to their customer support team is useless. The email response I received was obviously from a bot or AI; the response was about a completely different issue than what I contacted them about.
I'm deleting this app. Save yourself the hassle and don't bother downloading it. Between the Candy Royale game you can't opt out of, the impossible levels you can't pass unless you buy bars or boosters, tons of ads, and now the issue of losing your saved progress, this game is so not worth it..SandyG123Version: 1.269.1.2
No Longer Fun, Just A Money Grab…I’ve been playing this game since it was originally released when it was only available to play on Facebook within a browser. Which is longer than a decade at this point but it’s gotten to the point where I no longer want to play. I will get a booster for unlimited lives only to be stuck on ONE LEVEL the entire time. I have used ALL of my boosters & extra lives on one level only to lose them all because I cannot pass the level. The game has become unfair to a ridiculous point. I have been stuck on one level for a MONTH! I’m no longer offered free boosters. I’m forced to exit past a bunch of ads to buy gold bars, which can take up to 2 minutes, after I lose a level which is horrible when I have boosters that are timed. This game used to be fun but if you buy gold bars at any point the game will make it so you can’t win levels without them. I didn’t play the game for 6 months straight because of it only to start playing again & finally get off that level immediately. Then after 1 day of playing without getting stuck for weeks I moved up some only to be stuck again on a level for 2 days I’ve reached a point where I might just delete the game. It’s supposed to be fun but it’s not anymore..MizzLola316Version: 1.311.0.1
Too Many Pop-UpsI enjoy the actual game play, but for every level you play there’s about ten things popping up on your screen in between levels, reminding you about every event and deal and collaboration and whatever they have this week. Often times there’s 2 or 3 or 4 popping up before you have an actual chance to do anything with intent. It’s annoying and I really wish there was the ability to turn it off.
This is especially with the Candy Royale thing they’re doing now- it would be cool, if it was actually optional to join rather than giving you no other buttons to push or way to avoid it, and if it didn’t pop up with a giant “You got kicked out” animation after every single time you don’t pass a level. It makes a game that’s marketed as a relaxing way to destress into something extremely frustrating.
I enjoy playing, but if this stuff doesn’t change then I’ll stop. It’s not bad once or twice, but the fact that it’s constant is ruining the enjoyment I have, and the Royale animation takes a level that usually would feel like a tough but interesting challenge and makes it feel instead like failure after failure. Hoping they change things soon..DemibiVersion: 1.257.0.1
Gambling app nowPromised myself I’d leave a review warning others if it wouldn’t let me pass another level without trying to force me to buy boosters. It’s become apparent that over the last year that they have try to manipulate players to basically gamble. I will be deleting the app from my phone after this. I used to have so much fun playing this game it was a nice escape full of cool puzzles to solve. Had gotten into the 3,000s levels my first time downloading/playing and then deleted when I noticed it was making me spend $.99 frequently to purchase bars for lives. I gave it a good break and recently downloaded again current level 1,700+. It has gotten much much worse! It must track your spending and really not less you pass a really hard level unless you buy their bars or boosters because you’ve played that level 20x and can’t pass. With inflation price have gone up and they target you harder than ever now. They should reward you more often so you don’t have to purchase so many boosters, lives etc. They do have cool features and built a little community where you can give your “friends” lives, but doesn’t do much good if you are being made to purchase/gamble…not cool..Ebie209Version: 1.238.0.4
Not what it used to be .I’ve been playing this game for yearsss , since the game first launched in 2012 . Im only on level 1144 now but at one point I was on upwards of level 2500 . I wouldve been higher but I’ve always deleted and redownloaded it without saving my progress because sometimes I would either get stuck on a level for too long or find myself playing for to long but I would always come back to it . As of lately I’ve deleted the game because as you start reaching higher levels the game starts getting harder to a point it’s unbearable , I love a good challenge but even now with the chapter I was in there were 3 legendary levels and all other variations of hard levels with only 2 normal levels , and I can only imagine how it would be in higher chapters . This game is advertised to be a stress reliever game and for a while it was before it was ruined with all the challenges and hard variants of levels . It feels like it induces stress for than relieves . As someone who considers themselves one of Candy Crush’s most loyal players , I would say this game has gone downhill , and has become a cash grab to get you to by more boosters and gold and to play the game longer ..Jakayla.kaylaVersion: 1.295.1.1
Ads are ridiculous!!What’s going on!! Are you not going to stop adding seconds to the ads!! You starting having the ads last either 15 or 30 seconds in order to earn something to help you pass a level! Then you starting raising it a couple seconds here and there. Then I noticed the John Mayer ad for Sirius XM was lasting 33 seconds!! Now today I noticed a new John Mayer Sirius XM ad and it lasts 36 seconds!! I have played this game for years but I am about ready to delete it!! This is getting old! You spend about 2 mins to try to clear a level and now I spend more time watching ads than playing the game!! I’m sure I am not the only one who has noticed this!! Keep it up and you will lose a lot of people who are sick of watching so many ads!! UPDATE: I have now removed Candy Crush!! After writing the review above, I went back to the game and the first ad that popped up was a new John Mayer ad that lasted 2 minutes and 1 second!! That did it!!! I removed the game!! It wasn’t good enough that you all became rich with this game you had to make even more money with all the ads!! So I’m sure as time goes on and you keep putting longer ads and more you will lose more players!!!! Next thing you know there won’t be a game!!!!!.Rhino5326Version: 1.270.1.1
IssuesIts a really fun and addicting game don’t get me wrong, but I have contacting the company of this app many times using contact us website, but they always clear it up saying “it doesn’t transfer to your ipad!!” Let me tell you my problem. I had candy crush on my phone. I had many boosters and extra lives. (50+ extra lives, 99+ candy bombs, 99+ pink donut things, 50+ striped + wrapped candy, and 300+ gold to be exact.) I played a lot so I can use these things whenever I want without having to worry that I’m low on boosters. But ever since I downloaded candy crush on my iPad, I lost all of it even on my phone which doesnt make sense! Ending up with 12 candy bombs, 11 wrapped+striped, 17 fish, 62 gold, and NO extra lives (they were so helpful when i didnt have wifi) I have wrote into their support many times, and they do reply me but they just don’t understand what happened, it’s just really frustrating spending a lot of time on this game and then losing almost everything all because I wanted a bigger screen to play candy crush on. And if you tell me to create an account, i did!! I have an account logged in with Apple and all of this still happened..LyamiseVersion: 1.256.0.1
HUGE RISE OF IN-GAME PURCHASE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS!I’m a huge fan of Candy Crush. It’s my number 1, go-to, fun app. First, I should say, I do not indulge in most “in app” purchases for boosters or “lives”. If I cannot win a level, I will continue to play with what I’ve got. It’s just not satisfying to advance in a game solely from advantages I’ve purchased versus my own effort. That said, occasionally, I WILL treat myself to cashing out the “piggy bank” of gold bars in Candy Crush so I can buy more “lives”.
The bank has always held 60 bars...$2.99 to cash out. That amount alone (assuming I had zero bars reserved to supplement this amount) was pretty reasonable considering I could purchase 5 “lives” for 12 bars. It really wasn’t a bad deal...not GREAT, but worth the occasional indulgence. A little over a month ago (possibly closer to 2 months), without a word, the “piggy bank” shrank down to 30 bars...cash out price STILL $2.99!!!! THEY LITERALLY DOUBLED THE PRICE OF THIS IN APP PURCHASE OUT OF NOWHERE! No gradual shift, straight up DOUBLED THE PRICE!!
Are there bigger problems in the world than my Candy Crush budget frustrations? TOTALLY! But how shady is it to gouge a price like that OUT OF NOWHERE for a product I’m pretty loyal to and for which I’m reasonably reliable to provide some income? NO WAY, NO HOW, WILL I SPEND ANOTHER PENNY ON THIS APP UNDER THESE NEW CIRCUMSTANCES..AngiejavaVersion: 1.140.0
False advertisingFirst I would like to say that initially when I downloaded this game it was great. Slowly it got harder not because I was at a higher level but because they wanted you to spend money. They made it almost impossible for you to continue without spending money. That being said, all of the ads and all the little clips of the game I saw, whether in the App Store or an ad some where, I have never seen those scenarios in the actual game. I downloaded the game because I love the things that I saw on those ads. This is not the only game/app that has false videos or ads, making it look way better than it actually is. I played this game FOR MONTHS,PROBABLY A YEAR, trying to get to a level that looked similar or even close to the advertising but nothing even close! Does it make “the powers that be” feel good about about themselves? Having to con/falsely advertise your product to get people to download? It comes off as many things, mainly that you don’t trust or believe in your products enough to show us the real thing, actual real game scenarios. I rarely leave negative reviews but like I said it’s happening all over but this app is one of the worst..*#ME#*Version: 1.219.0.6
Very disappointed!!Seriously CC you increase how much gold coins cost?? You reduce the number of people who win contest and reduce the prizes, why? Why are the levels harder? Because you have increased the cost of gold coins and reduced the prizes, that tells me it’s all about the money and you have no respect or appreciation for your loyal users!! There are too many game options for you to risk losing your loyal users! Why would you do that to us?? :-( Done!! I love playing in the contest, that is what makes me keep playing versus switching to another game, unfortunately CC has made changes to their contest! Now only the person who comes in first wins a prize, oh and the prizes are a joke!! Really CC, these contest last 4 days and it takes a lot of effort and time just to place in the top 5 but you are only going to give 1st place a prize and even that prize is cheap!! How about instead of spending money on commercials you put that money into more winners and bigger rewards!! Other games make it worth your time to play them, on some of the bigger games even 20th place gets a reward but not on CC! Don’t waste your time playing, the rewards aren’t worth it! I for one am taking my money and playing other games that make it worth my time!! :-( VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS GAME!!.KatttzzVersion: 1.134.1
Never let your kids play thisThis is used to be great, years ago it was about having fun and sometimes having to face some extra difficulties, now its all about frustration, it is literally impossible to finish so many levels, the algorithm is against you at will, it means that this is very far from being just luck and agility, its all about the algorithm providing with potential win, its fake from a to z, they have changed sounds from the original version to “disney like” sounds, think how would be our world and our kids if this was disney, nothing in this game is made for the pleasure just frustration and money or watching the same stupid adds over and over to solve impossible puzzles that only the algorithm get to decide if you pass or not. long story short, this games should be forbidden under 18 because it creates a poor society of consumerism where frustration can be solve by money. the worst… my kids have removed the game as well as every member of my family and it will be the same for anyone i know and care for his kids. Games are meant to provide fun and joy with sometimes some added difficulties that can always be solved, not to provide algorithm-frustration for money providers..Michael.j.dVersion: 1.292.1.2
Glitch!!I will have almost all full gold bars and it keeps wiping it out! This is the 3rd time it has done this!!!!!!! I have contacted the customer service and instead they send me stupid links that take me to other people’s comments on the game. It was a fun game for the first few levels but now it’s just a hungry money game. It purposely will make it so you quickly lose all your prizes. It will make it so you’re so close to winning that you might even be desperate enough to purchase those prizes to win (I don’t) and it makes you keep losing over and over again until you’re just so sick of it.. even the easy levels are impossible now. It’s nice to have hard levels mixed in, but now every level is impossible to beat on the first few tries. I usually end up losing all 5 lives even with using the stupid prizes that don’t work. Then when I log on again hours later the game seems almost too easy on that same level I was struggling with 🤔 this game is definitely made to stress people out until they fork out their money. Clearly it wipes out things like my gold bars to get me to be desperate and just purchase them. I get they want to make money.. nothing wrong with that, but at this point it’s ruining what could be a fun game 💁🏽♂️.SweetdigletVersion: 1.167.0.2
Dumb changesBefore, when you go into the game, and don’t like it’s layout, you could quit without losing lives. Now, not only you lose lives, you also lose the boost you select. I have played this game for years and now on 2377 probably going to quit this game for good since the dumb developers are just thinking of money, and not focus on player experience.Lu you jiVersion: 1.176.0.2

It told me to log into Facebook to save my progress, so I did then lost EVERYTHING. After months of trying to contact them, finally they responded saying they will not replace lost items.

Read the reviews CC!This game is fun until you reach higher levels and then it becomes a total money grab!! You can't win at higher levels without spending money, and they overcharge for what the packages offer. They would have more players and make more money if they charged 1/4 of what they do. This is a GAME and there are lots of free games that aren't constantly trying to get money from the players. Weekly winners get no return for what it takes to one first! It's become a total rip off. The only way to play his game is to start over each time you reach level 1000! I can see this game dying because of

DéceptionJe suis très déçu des derniers changements ... surtout en ce temps de confinement ... il me semble tellement ridicule cette décision de changer le jeu de façon unilatérale me coupant des plaisirs que j’avais en en jouer depuis le début. Je suis au dernier niveau et j’attends chaque semaine la sortie des nouveaux niveaux et ce depuis plusieurs années ... entre temps je me ramasse des outils pour passer le temps.
J’imagine eu ceci est une décision corporative et que dans les faits des milliers de personnes comme moi n’investissent pas dans votre jeu.
Je suis triste et déçu !
Redonnez moi mon jeu comme il était svp c’est déjà difficile d’être confiné à la maison.. un peu de compassion serait grandement apprécié ...
Hâte de voir le résultat de ce commentaire !
Je suis au bout du jeu et chaque semaine je dois attendre les nouveaux niveaux.
Vous enlevez ce qui fait que le jeu est plaisant en attendant ... les 180 étoiles pour les goodies n’existent plus dommage.
Je vais quitter le jeu ....Dora 08Version: 1.174.0.2
Not fun like it used to be.I constantly find myself on the same level for over 3 weeks. You now have to buy boosters to really win level or gold bars. You don’t get enough moves anymore either.

Bugs in the gamrUpdated to latest version but aggravated it keeps shutting down and taking away lives and boosters. Watch the stupid ads to gain extra moves but that shuts down too and takes away any extra chances so I can't move on to next level when I need a few extra moves.

Money GrabHorrible game now. Every level gives inappropriately low number of moves. Need atleast 2-3 bomb combos to win or 50+ moves which will require you you to use gold bars buy move or boosters.

Not many giftsI have been playing CC for 5years .
It was great at the beginning… but since 2020-2021 alot has changed - lives take forever to refill, we don’t have as many candies and gifts which was fun. Now its so boring. I can stay for 2 weeks playing without gifts

This game is ruinedThis game used to be very fun. I don’t know if they updated it or something, but now it’s almost impossible to play without buying gold bars and boosters. I’ve been in the same “season” (or whatever they call it) for weeks, and I’m stuck on a level that would be able to be completed with just a couple more moves. Every level seems to have less than 21 moves, which is nearly impossible for most of them. I believe I’m on my 50th or so attempt at the same level and it’s getting really old. But I also refuse to spend any more money on this game since they’ve obviously changed things to be geared more towards pay to play.
They even have a little pop up when you’ve lost a game a bunch of times that says “67% of users take the extra moves!”…. Which should be ringing the alarms that the game is TOO HARD.
They’ve truly ruined the game, disappointing because it was actually a fun little time waster before..CayFlemingVersion: 1.242.1.1

Garbage gameIf you want to keep your sanity, do not download this game.
This game is the literal definition of pay to win. The game gives you garbage moves and makes it almost impossible to beat levels without using power ups.
If you’re willing to spend money getting more lives, and more power ups you will succeed and find the game fun. However if you’re like the average player that doesn't want spend money on a free game you will become unbelievably frustrated with how bad this game really is..Bleep168Version: 1.186.0.3
