Decent game; bad ads. Overall, I enjoy the game. It’s easy to learn and rather straightforward, but still fun. On occasion, the game will decide there is no available matches and shuffle the tiles even when there are matches possible. My biggest complaint is the ads. Not so much the amount of them (although having to watch one after nearly every round is a bit much), but the content. Almost every ad I get is for some bogus weight loss miracle with fake backing from big names like Dr. Oz and Good Morning America. Seeing as this is a game children can play, these ads are especially inappropriate. Ads are annoying enough without furthering body image issues and trying to scam people out of their hard earned money. Please remove these types of ads.

Could be a stress reducer. This game has some fun shapes, pictures and match games. I admit I love a mindless match game. However, I have had my winnings taken. One day I’m flush, the next day I’m missing hundreds of “bomb” diffusers. I watch an entire 45 second ad, only to have the game freeze, not collecting the prizes I won, in which I’m told I can double winnings watching ads & lose all due to ads freezing. When the game decides to freeze, I don’t even get the 1x amount of winnings. This process has happened more frequently this week. One has NO ability to enquire why they’re being cheated. So, if you enjoy winning tools but have no ability to collect, this game is for you. If you enjoy watching ads, full 45 second ads, this game is for you. If you enjoy watching ads to get through 1 round, for you. As for me, after the past few months, wasting time wondering if I’ll actually get my points, prizes, or get through 1 round without issues, I’m done. Thanks for not providing players a way to advise of issues. Hopefully someday this app will offer a way to inquire about issues, but it has yet to happen. Good luck to anyone playing, know you may not get your hard earned prizes.

Ads are out of control. I don’t mind in ap ads rather than buying a no ad ap but this ap has gotten out of control with aps. Not only do I now have to watch ads after more than half the games, I also have to put up with the distraction of ads in the banners at the bottom of the screen while I am playing the match game. Many of these are action ads and are extremely distracting. Another thing I don’t care at all for are ads that the user is expected to participate in. Gone are the days when you can just watch the occasional ad and get back to enjoying the game. I’m a person who likes a challenge but not an impossibility. So, when a bomb is placed where it is impossible to make a match or when I match one pair including the bomb and then another bomb and another are created so ultimately you get to one you can’t match, then it loses the challenge because it’s impossible. I’m seriously thinking of deleting the ap because it’s reached the point where I’m not getting the enjoyment from the ap that I used to.

Surprisingly Challenging. The premise seems simple. Match pairs. However, it surprisingly difficult after a few levels. Addicting as well. I love it. Spend far too much time playing it. One request - I understand the need for ads. But could the app creators limit the ads to 30 seconds each? The one for the recipe app with the girl making pot pie is far too long. I can get up and pour myself a cup of coffee, add creamer and put it back in the fridge and sit back down and the girl has still not put the pot pie in the oven! 30 seconds is long enough for an ad. Most are in the realm of 30 seconds but there are a few that are far too long. More than once, I just closed the app. Takes away from the fun.

Boring. I don’t like it. The puzzles are fun when they stay still and have more straight forward images but the ones that have meticulous detail that’s smaller and runs along the same color lines I hate. They also move and shuffle every time you make a play so you can’t remember anything or get multiple pairs in a row. If you find two images side by side and you’ve spotted another one as well, as soon as you pick the first pair the other ones will move and separate from being another set. This guarantees that you have to watch ads for more and more playing time, because the time won’t be enough to complete it in one go because things move so much, which for me takes away from the fun. I also think the game is unfair with the distance that it will accept. Meaning if u see a pair that has a straight path with nothing blocking it, sometimes it won’t let you choose it as a set and I’m assuming it feels it’s too far which can be annoying especially when you turn around and use a hint after not being able to find a pair and it shows you a similar choice that is also far with no blockage? I don’t understand how it gages it’s pairs at times. I mean it’s ok, may keep middle age to older people entertained but there are way better strategy and puzzle games out there.

Spotlight Problem. I love this game and play it daily, but I have one big complaint, and that is the Spotlight that you can click on to be shown where a pair is when you find yourself stuck. You have to watch an ad in order to use the spotlight one time. When you click on the spotlight, you will be shown 2 matching pictures but for just a split second (and I mean a split second!) which is way too short of time to find the 2 matching pictures, especially when there are many, many pictures to scan across. Many times I have to watch several ads to use the spotlight several times just trying to be able see a matching pair highlighted before it disappears. This is more than frustrating and I am at the point of deleting the game unless you give a little more time (even 2 seconds would help)after clicking on the spotlight. If it wasn't for this complaint, I would certainly give this game 5 stars.

Pink ruffle. The changes you have made very recently are TERRIBLE and whoever decided to make them, decided poorly. I’m so disappointed. This game is no longer fun, and you are ripping us off by charging 200 gems instead of 120, which was bad enough. The Challenges, where I could earn extra gems, now give hammers. 👎 I used to enjoy playing Onnect, but now it’s just become stressful and frustrating. Not relaxing or enjoyable. You “fixed” something that wasn’t broke. Also, the question that pops up asking nosy stuff that I refuse to answer, is unacceptable. I absolutely will not respond to it in any way. And I HATE that I can’t exit out of it. I suggest you get rid of these changes and quit messing people around. So disappointed. I started to play this morning (9-7) and realized it was back to normal! 120 gems instead of 200, 2 choices of puzzles instead of only one when I hit “free”, just so much better. I was elated! But soon, it had switched back to this new version. Just very disappointing! Suggestion: let players choose the puzzles they want, instead of giving ones we don’t like and keep having to change. This is extremely tiresome and takes the fun out, plus having to pay 200 gems for only ONE change. This game is not as fun and relaxing anymore. Disappointing, in fact. The new changes you have forced on us are crummy and unfair.

Addicted. This game is addictive. Yes, there are ads but only in between games. Unlike most games, you can play for quite a while to complete the game. Some games only have 40 or so tiles to match and they go fast but others have over a hundred so it might take 10 minutes to complete. I downloaded a game that actually stuck ads right in the middle of a timed round. Yes, this game has a timer but you can turn it off in settings. It also has this bomb thing…way too frequently but it also has an option to delete it, you just have to play a few games to earn the option. This is the only game I’ve found where you actually get to play for a extended period without ads

3 Days ago would’ve been 5 stars. I have spent hours upon hours upon hours (even when I was hospitalized) playing this game because I enjoyed it so much. But two days ago they decided to change it up and add some stupid virtual “chess” that you have to gain so many points after playing 4-5 puzzles to earn specific tools that you used to earn after each puzzle. (Now it’s 2 tools max if you watch ads) Unless they go back to their prior set up, this is nothing but a waste of my time. I was fine with the amount of ads they had before since I cannot afford membership, it was balanced and made sense, but now?? Keep your ads - I’m out. (I’ll check back from time to time to see if you really listen to your users or just don’t care) I’ve been playing for over a year now. Get rid of the chest! Before the so-called “upgrade” The game was challenging because of 1) ticking timer bombs to beat; 2) if you did survive the timer bombs, but ran out of time, you’d get an ad, fair; 3) depending on how big a puzzle and how fast you could finish it, you would get a higher ‘reward’ of tools, so I would be challenging myself at the same time to see if I was able to get 3, 4, or sometimes 5 magnifying glasses based on time left multiplied by my score. My goal was trying to get 6. That personal challenge has now all been removed now you have that “chest” of ads. REMOVE THE CHEST - GO BACK TO WHAT WASN’T BROKEN!! Please 😔

Tried to play, but couldn’t. After playing for the first time, an ad came up (as they do in many of these games). I watched what I “had to” before shutting down the ad to resume play. Played the next round. Rules were different than the first - sometimes the tiles stay where they are, regardless of other tiles around them being removed, other times they drop, other times they move in different directions. I think I was able to play about 5 rounds. A couple of times, after playing a round, an ad would come up, and then the screen would go to black - either on its own, or because I used the “x” at the top of the screen. Once I had a black screen, the only way out was to shut down the app, and then try to replay... only to encounter an ad before I could play, and ending up with the same “black screen - shut down - reopen - have to watch an ad” scenario. It wasn’t worth it I shut down the ap, deleted it, and wrote this review.

Onnect. I really like this game except for the fact that are more ads than playing time , I just get going and it’s ad time again so it takes about 30-40 seconds of ads twice in one game and you get about 20 seconds of play time , I’m so aggravated with the update on Onnect that’s on both my iPhone and iPad and iPhone is great I’m over level 2,000 and I am also on my iPad on some low level maybe 20 or so but on the one on my iPad , idk if it’s the new update but it’s different than the one on my iPad, on my iPad it only gives me so much time , which isn’t very much at all and then it stops the level and have to start the level over ! I think it’s terrible for doing that and now idk if I want to keep it on my iPad or not because we don’t get enough time to even play the level , so I’m really aggravated with the new update and I won’t get it on my iPhone that I’m so far into the game level 2,060 is the level I’m on , but it’s so much better playing it on my iPad because so much bigger, but I’m annoyed with this update and might delete it from my iPad for good !

Battery hog, crashes and stalls. First of all, what’s with dropping the “c” from all these game titles? Has anyone ever figured that out? Anyway, this is a pretty engaging game but there are a few fatal problems. It crashes and stalls, even after I’ve reset my device (updated, reasonably new iPad). It heats up the device, and it hogs the battery in an unacceptable way. The battery level actually goes down, even when I’m connected or onnected (😝) to the charger. Those are the device-related issues. Game-related comments: There’s a nice assortment of difficulty levels and levels with/without bombs. Most games shift the tiles around after each move, which is not my cup if tea, especially when the tiles move in all 4 directions as opposed to all jumping to the left, for example. YMMV of course. There’s a reasonable number of ads but I suspect the ads, along with the constantly shifting tiles, contribute to the freezing and battery issues. I would have given it 3 or 4 stars, except for the freezing game, hot device, and potential for damage to the battery.

The ads will kill you. It’s a decent game but you better like ads if you want the free version of the game. Holy crap! There’s ads after you accomplish a level, another after time bomb goes off and then another after the overall time limit. And some levels require 2-3 time limit resets to complete, and ads each time. Then there’s times that a time bomb goes off, you watch an ad, come back and then literally 4 seconds later the overall time limit expires and you’re hit with yet ANOTHER ad. I like the game but am about to delete it for this reason. Then also the game freezes up and/or app closes on its own. That’s fun too because after you relaunch you have to…you guessed it, sit through another ad

It is an OK game but could be better. I really hate that even in the free mode, you can’t turn off the items to look for, so it is really dumb to be looking for Christmas wreaths and Jack-o-lanterns in summer. I am NOT paying extra to turn these off either. I also really hate when the put a timer on an item to match or rather a bomb. You either have to start over or watch an ad to continue playing. Lastly, if I have earned a 100 shuffles as a “cheat” or “help” of some kind, then it should be useful and not a waste of my time. I tried to shuffle the items several times to try and make a match to prevent a bomb from exploding and instead I wasted 20 plus shuffles. Those “tools” you earn are USELESS! This is supposed to be fun... it is not fun if I can play on my terms, no customization and earn useless cheats.... I think I will go back to playing MaJong ....

Great game with minor annoyances. I think I’ve played the game long enough to write a decent review. The game is fun and a great way to chill and end the day with. Tho I fairly have no complaints there are a few things that could use some improvement. For one if you get annoyed by ads you absolutely have to get the subscription (which is, I’m sure their intention, as a way to make money) because there’s ads between almost every level and sometimes in the middle of the level. I just think there should be more playtime between ads. Also when I’m in the zone making pairs fairly quickly it will auto shuffle even when I clearly have more matches to make. As I said minor annoyances that are easy to overlook because the game is that fun…definite worth the download.

I love this game but what are the diamonds for lol????. Seriously, what are the diamonds for? I did a good ole in app purchase to get rid of the ads and thought "oh sick look at this wicked good deal where I also get a bunch of diamonds!" But... there's nothing to use the diamonds on... I'd get it if this was a new app and still being developed but from reading other reviews it seems like it's been around for quite a while. If you're gonna sell diamonds (especially JUST DIAMONDS), make a store where you can buy things with said diamonds??? New themes, extra boosters, the ability to turn themes you don't like off. For real just something that I can spend my diamonds on, it could literally be anything. It's not positive reinforcement if there's nothing to actually reinforce my playing the game???

Unhappy update. I have played this game for, I’m guessing, over three years. I loved it, all my older children would spend time trying to beat the more difficult boards with me when they came home from college. I couldn’t put it down, as a matter of fact it was the only game I played. I didn’t even care when it would crash or have an ad in the middle of the round. This is how much I liked it. The update that recently happened changed everything. Even with the addition of blocks and ice cubes the boards are not challenging anymore even the new pictures are cartoon like and not great. Maybe you were changing your demographics to young children. Unfortunately after giving myself time to get used to it I’m sad to say I’ll be deleting the app. Hopefully you receive enough unhappy reviews and put it back the way it was

Good game but too many glitches and ads. I really like the game, but have complaints similar to other reviewers. The most recent is like a loop. You get to a certain level or game, finish and it goes directly to an ad then either goes to a black screen or closes out the game. When you can get it to open again it is as if you never played the game... no new level and no renewed help items. I've played the same game 3 times! Please fix. It could be a great game, but very frustrating. If it does work right, you spend half your time looking at ads! Saturday: 3 days and no change. I get the same puzzle time after time, no new helps for finishing the puzzle etc. Please fix or I will have to delete the game. I did enjoy it despite the frequent ads, but can't continue to play the same puzzle. July 14 Some of the above glitches seem to have been fixed. With the latest update however, the game is unusable. 3/4s of the screen is white pixelated covering the puzzle grid. What you can see of the puzzle grid looks like it is covered with a screen or film. I don't know if this is only on my game or if this is common since the update. I have tried all the tricks of deleting the app, turning off the iPad and reinstalling with no luck. Please help!

Connect. I do like Ted but WYE timed and if, for instance the o with socks are all,in connect why , when I finish, it yurt goes back to the same thing to do it again. Advertisements goes most of them on a flat screen by whe you go to play hey are scattered all, over it. Many of them are notasshown when you goon to play. Thisdoesmmake them relaxing. I realize you want people to down load all thes games but I would like to compleebefire I get knocked out of before I complete. I have written before but never know if any Ever reads these or comments back p. I just want to relax and play. And I cannot understand the the reason for timing some of these. Makes no sense and certainly not relaxing. And many that are impossible to tell how to play. Should have tutorials. You might have more people load them. This complaint apples to all of these connect and. Tile connect. I’m I. Hopeing some one more will res. Will some one will respond. I think someone will read this And respond to me. Also when they show other games that look inteeesting, you. Download it. But when it loads and you click on the Icon. It is totally different, all this is so frustrating I almost just give up.

Lost time to ads. I got addicted to a game like this years ago. It had no time limit, but you could only win by clearing the board without reshuffling. While not a big fan of time limit games, when I’ve determined I’m likely to never finish in the time, watching an ad to get more time is fine. It’s just to addictive to ignore. The ads are frequent, but they don’t suddenly appear mid game. I do find it excessive to have to watch an ad to get back to a paused game. My big issue with the ads is the literal lost game time. I’ve had to watch ads up to 30 seconds long and when I get to the game the bomb timer has already gone sometimes half way around. And other games I’ve started several times after an ad with a different countdown. Since I see a new board for a millisecond before the ad starts, I have to think the game is running during the ad. I seriously hope this is considered a bug to be fixed. It’s incredibly unfair.

Lag issue. Jenny K Love this game, but didn’t play for a few days due to Thanksgiving. Suddenly today there’s a HUGE lag like the game is missing something. The images in each board move so slowly it’s like old computer games if you had too many things running at once, BUT I had nothing else running. I power cycled my phone, issue still there. I deleted the game, losing my over 1300 searches & at least that many remixes & what board I was on! Downloaded again & it seemed to be fine at first, but got to board 10 & the same thing. The game was updated yesterday it says for bug fixes, but apparently it didn’t fix it. I have iOS 14.2 & again, wasn’t running anything else with the game. No way to contact tech support, so this is how I’m reaching out. I would rate a 5 otherwise. Please fix!

Fun addictive game but sooooo problematic. 5 stars for the game, 0 for functionality. Since the update my iPad runs hot almost immediately. I’ve never had this happen with any other (and much more complex games). The game is laggy both during game play and during ads. Many of the ads just freeze up and I have to shut down the game completely and loose any rewards or gameplay I’d accomplished. I’ve also noticed I will sometimes start a game with no ad, then it suddenly pops up, and while it’s playing the game timer is still going! Also hate the new way to get tools compared to last version. It’s hard to get enough to keep playing. Let’s talk about the ads. First of all, they are boring, repetitive, sometimes insulting, and also, do they even care about demographics at all? Here’s how it goes: want to play a game? Watch an ad. Finished playing a round? Watch an ad. Want the rewards from the round you just played? Watch an ad. Your kid comes in with a question and you have to pause the game? Watch an ad to get back in. Want to get a few extra tools when you finally earn an award chest? Yep, you get it. Watch an ad. I LOVE the actual game. I could tolerate the ads because I’d save up enough tools to put my iPad on airplane mode for a while. But now with the lagginess and really really excessive ads, I don’t know if I’ll keep playing. I was considering the paid membership but not when these issues are happening.

Love this game BUT. I quickly became addicted to this game and I play it often — while watching television, waiting for Paratransit, during my commute, in waiting rooms, etc. The rules are quite simple and it’s easy to learn. The small images (the more difficult levels, which are fun because they’re more challenging) are sometimes hard to see for those with visual impairments to differentiate. I’d also be happy to buy the premium level if it was a reasonable price. Nearly $10/month??? Are you kidding me? Every once in awhile, the offer changes from $0.99 for the first month and $9.49 for every month thereafter to $2.49 for the first month and $3.99 every subsequent month. However, when that offer is clicked on, it takes one to the confirmation page of the regular rip-off price. The weekly offer is even more laughable with the first week free and then $3.49 weekly after that. If the price (either a one-time price or subscription) comes down to something reasonable), I’d happily buy-in.

Used to be a favorite. This game was a favorite of mine for a long time. Now, it is still a good game but I DO NOT ENJOY IT OR PLAY IT like I did before, because of the long annoying ads. I don’t stick around for 25-30 second ads. I leave the game immediately and go to a game with short ads. Yes, long ads quickly “send me packing”. And on to a different game. So, this game is no longer a favorite. By the way, it doesn’t take 30 SECONDS for the point of the ad or the advertised message to “sink in” for most people. Like me,most people get the idea of the ad in 5 seconds. Also, I NEVER INSTALL a game that is shown in a 30 second ad. HOWEVER, I DO INSTALL games that are advertised in 5 or 10 second ads. Therefore, in conclusion, I now leave this game after a few seconds of play because I never sit through those long ads. Yes, I did like this game very much, but now I AVOID it because of the long ads. LONG ADS have ruined the enjoyment.

Addicting game, with a few flaws. First off, I want to say that I’m super addicted to this game. That being said it does have a few flaws.. The first issue that I have is that the bomb timer starts during the ads so the bomb card can be half gone by the time you actually get to start to play the game, which means that with certain pictures you can’t even tell what they are to even find the match. The second issue I have is that I wish there was a spot in the corner or something showing what the bomb card is because I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve had to restart a level because I can’t remember what the bomb card actually was in the first place.. Other than those few issues this game is amazing and extremely addictive!

System issues. 6/18 working puzzles 664 and 665 - will not let you select obvious matches. When you select your clues to show a match - there wasn’t one. Or they give you tile without a match. Using the sorting option - doesn’t change anything. Still unable to select obvious matches. Shut game down to get back in. Sometimes the game resets from the beginning (doing this on earlier puzzles as well) or it works. I keep planning because it’s addictive but the glitches are very annoying. 6/4 _ puzzles 361 and 362 do not contain the appropriate matches. ( I have screen shots). You have to shut down and then go back to complete these two. Game sticks and will not let you match those that are pairs. You end up using up all of your free hint, etc, and it still won’t connect the pairs.., (puzzle 309) did this throughout. Limiting the time to complete the puzzle after several attempts. And it didn’t auto adjust when there were clearly no matches. And when I went to change images it only changed 3 and left the others so again no matches. So I completely shut down got back and had more tiles added back and able to complete the level. Shouldn’t have to do this. Needs to be corrected. It has happened on previous levels as well.

Too many glitches. Well, I like this game most of the time and play way too much. When I first started playing there were far less ads. Now it’s a different system where you accumulate tools much slower and watch more ads. And the ads are often multi-part so you have to click next a few time which is pretty annoying. I think the subscription costs are way too high for such a simple game. But my bigger complaint is the bugs in the app. I’m playing this on an iPad Pro. It worked fine for months, but recently it will freeze up in the middle of the game or during an ad, then I have to close and reopen the app (just going to Home Screen and back doesn’t work), and I lose my progress in the puzzle but not the number of tools I’ve used. Basically using up tools and then having to restart the puzzle. Now it’s doing a thing where I need to play an ad to continue, and then the whole screen shifts, like the picture is translated down and to the left on the iPad. So I can’t see the whole puzzle. I’ve updated the iPad and the app, and restarted both. I think I’ll just find another app.

Add Overload. The game when you get to actually spend your time actually playing, and not watching advertisements is not too bad. However I have played for 50 seconds and then had 200 seconds of ads, the worst is when in one commercial break, I see the same ad twice or an ad for another game I am already playing. The Apple feed algorithm needs serious help. The algorithm should also track and not send ads to games you have already tried and gotten off your system. That is a waste of time. There needs to be a way to force an ad not to run after a set number of times, or to opt-out of specific ads. It would also be better if you included other categories of ads, maybe productivity or education ads?

If Only. Love this game. I would play it all the time but after a short time the ads hang up my iPad. Or I watch the ad and then the button to resume the game is greyed out and there is noway to kove forward but to shut down the iPad completely. When you go back to the game, you have to start anew. Eventually it gets so bad the only option is to uninstall it and reinstall. I’ve done that a few times now but it’s getting old and it won’t be long before the hassle to play the game is not worth it. Update: took away a star. They recently did an update and now it’s even worse. You get a notice that no videos are available and a 5 second count down. It says no videos and adds 5 seconds to the count down making it 10 seconds. Gets to the end and notice that says no videos, adds an additional 5 seconds and on and on. This game is officially so annoying that I am deleting it for good. Great idea for the game but terrible execution and way too many ads.

Fun but needs direction. I love these puzzles but they need to add some features to make it more of a game. For example, you accumulate points as you make matches but there’s no reason. The points don’t earn you any rewards (such as a hint or extra time on a bomb. These are only gained by watching an ad). It doesn’t even keep track of high scores or anything point related. Why bother even keeping a point total? While you do “win” by solving puzzles, you don’t progress in any way. Most games have levels or different features/obstacles as you progress through the game. It’s just endless puzzles that don’t go anywhere. You have no idea how many puzzles you’ve solved, how many you solved on the first try, etc. No stats whatsoever. I can’t even figure out what the little icons are that appear when you win. The game is far more challenging than I expected but it would be improved if it went somewhere.

Surprisingly fun!. After reading the reviews I almost didn’t download the game. I am so glad I did! It is very similar to mahjong with some challenges, like moving tiles. I don’t mind the ads in between the games. They do get annoying when they play after pausing the game. I think I have worked up to somewhere in level 40 or so and plan to keep going. It was a bit confusing on how to play at first, but I figured it out. If there was a help button with directions I couldn’t find it. The basic goal is to connect a line between two identical pictures. Be warned, several pictures can look quite similar. There doesn’t seem to be a penalty for clicking on the wrong picture (thank goodness). It is timed, but if you run out of time you can watch an ad and add more time to the clock. I say take a chance and download, you can always delete it later if you don’t enjoy it.

So good, it’s addicting!. This game is by far my favorite. I found it to be very relaxing, yet puzzling enough to keep my attention. If the levels become too hard, you can disable the timer. That’s what’s when I found it to be the most relaxing (and addictive). Don’t we have enough stress and rushing around in our daily lives? Disable the timer and unwind a little. I’ve made it to the 600+level and I’m still enjoying it. *My only suggestion, is that the creator’s make an option to enlarge the cards. I have 20/20 vision, but I had to purchase reader glasses for this game because most of the designs on the cards are small and it makes it difficult to differentiate them from others. That is the only reason I gave it 4-stars. If you play on a tablet, rather than a cellphone, it shouldn’t be an issue. Enjoy!

Surprisingly good. Actually calming (or exciting, depending on how you play) game. Maybe a bit addicting (not sure why people think thats a good thing). Pretty much everything people complain about has a good option for. Dont like the timer? You can disable it. Pictures get hard to distinguish? You can swap the picture set at any time. Dont like the ads? You absolutely do not have to monthly subscribe to remove them — theres a button in settings that allows you to permanently disable ads for a one time price for like two bucks. Theres no options for bombs but i like them cause they keep you strategizing and i like the time pressure. If you dont like them, theyre not that frequent and its easy to remove them with shuffles, which you can also earn very easy. I like the variety of levels. Its nice going from a super hard, dense board to an easy one as a break. But it does get repetitive. Maybe i will get bored someday but right now the simplicity is a major plus, especially compared to all the other cheap puzzlers out there (no i dont want a garden or a quest board or a lengthy tutorial in every single game, crazy right?). Also the sountrack is beautiful (an additional track would be nice tho, as well as more sound effect volume control) and the art reminds me of I Spy books. Fav puzzler so far.

Super fun game - one super irritating flaw. This is probably my favorite phone game. I can get lost in it for hours. I don’t even care that I have to watch a 25 second ad in between each level. My one giant irritation (and I really hope the developers can fix it) is that the “bomb countdown” starts as soon as you click the replay button, which means that the whole time you are stuck waiting for the ad to finish, the bomb is already in action. Sometimes it’s a super short ad or one you can X out of in a couple of seconds, but more often it’s halfway gone by the time you restart the level. Even more maddening is when it takes so long for the ad you can’t even tell what the picture is that you’re trying to match up once you’re able to “see it”. Please, oh pretty pretty please, for the love of all that is holy, fix this stupid problem!!! (Also, thank you for this game. It’s otherwise fantastic)

Easy and relaxing. I really like this app as it’s slightly different than other matching apps. I like to play to wind down before bed. One thing that causes me problems is that sometimes the images are too small on the larger puzzles to distinguish enough to select. And so far, I haven’t figured out how to change the “album” to something easier to see while in the puzzle. So I usually just let the timer run out so I can start another one. Since I play on my phone and not a tablet this is something I think you might be able to fix by adding an option to change the album? But overall all, I’m happy with this app. Great job everyone!

Level 1051. At this level, something really strange happens I. The game when other pieces appear to be coming down and you can not connect the pieces, you simply can’t. Unless they get lower on the screen. Then, when after three days of been stuck on the same level, there are no more matches to connect , so the screen changes automatically, but not really. There is no change in the place of the pieces, they stay in the same place. The screen keep on “changing “ till you run out of time. So you can’t really play any longer. Very strange and frustrating. I want to keep on playing this game. It’s really fun, but I dont see a way to pass this level. Must be a huge flaw of the game. There is nowhere to get help about it .

SMALLER ICONS??. I was reading all the reviews to see if anyone else has the same issues with the game as I do. And of course, some do. But then others have issues I haven’t experienced yet, simply because I haven’t been playing as long. I have however, experience tile overlap. But that seems to be fixed now. The fact that the icons are so small they are hard to keep looking at without getting headaches, so I have to stop playing. I paid to get rid of those repetitive, annoying, useless ads, but I have no recourse for the size of the icons. Then I read that you made them SMALLER?? As the developer, you should be aware not all of us have 20/20 + vision. For that reason, I wouldn’t spend anymore money on this game unless that is corrected. Please, for the sake of our eyesight, make the icons a little bigger.

Onnect. This game is great! It’s challenging, but not so that it is impossible. My one and only gripe ( which will probably cause me to delete this game) is the ADs. If the level is easy, you will see an AD after every 1-2 minutes. If the level is hard, it might be 3-5 minutes before the next ad. If the level is extra hard, after 5-7 minutes, the level times out and then AD. If you beat the level........AD. I just timed my play, and it went like this: 1 minute of play/30 second AD. 1 min. 15 seconds play/30 se. AD. 40 sec. play/5 sec. AD. 60 sec. play/30 sec. AD 4 min. play/5 sec. AD 1 min. 30 sec. play/30 sec. AD. The game does randomly skip to the next level without an AD but those times are very rare. Pretty much at the beginning of the game(level 1-4, and then very rare from then on out. I understand why there is ads, but, for 8 minutes of playing time, I sat through 2 minutes and 10 seconds of 5-30 second ADs. Ridiculous. If it was my app, I would make it so that when you clear the level , there is a 5 sec. ad..If the level is cleared in one attempt, no ad. If the level times out before you are finished, 30 sec. ad. The way it’s done now, the annoyance of the ads outweighs the pleasure of the game. And 9.49monthly or 3.49 weekly, in my opinion is way too much. Just my opinion. P.S. Interactive ads would be better.

Misleading Ads; Fun, Pay-to-Play. I downloaded this after watching a couple ads in other games/apps & on social media. The ads & promos for Onnect are misleading, as the boards are neatly set up like typical memory games and/or Mahjong rather than the random heap of tiles/cards/images as depicted in the ads. Not a huge deal, because obviously it’s easier to find pairs in a formatted board versus a heap. Plus, it’s possible that the board changes as players progress in the game. I played a few rounds & while it is fun, there is a lot left to be desired. The rules are simplistic - match images - but don’t exactly follow Mahjong rules. Sometimes a pair successfully matches that is blocked by other tiles/images & sometimes the game won’t accept a pair made that way. Rounds are pretty quick, depending on ability and play style, which normally wouldn’t be too much of a problem, but there is at least one, sometimes two 30-second ads between rounds. I get it - developers like to be paid for their services/work, especially in free games. But again I’d rather pay up front for a game - even take a risk on quality/enjoyment - than spend more time watching ads than actually playing a game. Features like image selection are set up to look like players have the freedom to make those choices but only when subscriptions are purchased. Again, I get it, but it’s misleading & frustrating. Overall, it’s fun but frustrating and there are plenty of other games out there to try instead.

Love the app, BUT!!. I have been playing this app for many years, and I love it! The only problem is it get stuck so many times when adds are playing and I have to exit it! I just re downloaded it thinking it would help and it didn’t at all and I lost all of my freebies that I had earned! I had over 295 free switches and 178 where are the matching tiles!!! I keep thinking that someone who is a part of the app would be checking on it to see that it is working properly and making sure that it is. I know that this is a free app and I appreciate that, but it is FRUSTRATING when everything freezes in the adds or as you are playing! It is a FUN GAME, PLEASE FIX IT FOR EVERYONE!!!!

Ads are getting really bad!. I love this game, but I went and paid to do away with the VERY aggravating and today they are even worse, 25 to 40 seconds long! Not only are they way to long but now when I finished a game I had the choice to watch and ad and get 100 more points or to skip that add! Now it flips right to a very long ad! Then after that it goes directly to another ad! I have had three in a row…when I paid they did not take away any ad’s… I tried everything that I could to get it to work but to no avail, so I canceled my subscription! I would love to play this game with 5 or 10 second ads but what you all have now is so aggravating that I just want to quit! I hope you will go back to the way it was or I will have to quit altogether, thanks for listening! Trisha…

Mostly fun game. I really enjoyed this game for a while but there are a few things about it I dislike enough that I stopped playing it. It’s glitchy if you play for several rounds. Suddenly the board shrinks and you can’t even see all the columns. The help buttons also go away. You have to leave the app for several minutes for the board size to go back to normal and the help buttons to return. Unfortunately the board you come back to is not always the one you left. Also, I hate the one where all the rows and columns move in a different direction. It was tolerable when all the different change patterns were played equally but now the one that I hate is used nearly every game. It would be nice if you could change the pattern like you can the objects. I also wonder why points are accrued but they don’t go towards anything. Why have them at all?

Used to be relaxing, then they changed it.. I played this game all the time as a free game. I liked it so much that I purchased it, so that I wouldn’t have to wait for ads or purchase anything, such as coins, etc. I was also able to play this game at either end of my iPad - in other words, I could rotate my device and the game would spin and correct to the same orientation. I enjoyed this because I could charge while playing without ruining my cable. But all that has suddenly gone away. If I wanted to simply let a bomb run out, I could use a diffuser that I had collected by playing and winning rounds. Now, I have to watch an ad to continue - even though I PURCHASE the game, or I have to start the game over. I had given this game 5 stars in the past. I can now only play with the device on one side and, of course, it’s the most inconvenient side. Frankly, you’re lucky you got an overrated 2 stars out of me. I am highly disappointed. Also, as a side note; I had to delete and reinstall the app because I was having crash issues after an OS update. When I finished, I lost all my progress and was reset to the first level. Not only was I highly irritated, I was kind of mad.

Bombs & no time limit, diamonds?. I like playing. I have 3 issues. 1-I’m not asking for access to all the themes. I would like to turn off/on the ones I do have access to though. The buttons to do so are not locked. Yet, when I try to turn one off, it takes me to the screen for the weekly/monthly deal. Some themes even show a little crown as the on/off switch, designating those are the premium access. Fine, but I want to access the ones that are shown as open/useable to me. 2-Same as others’ complaints- it does an auto shuffle with available pairs still showing. Tolerable, but not fair. 3-It gives me the option to not use a timer. I have this on so I can relax & not feel rushed. Yet, so many times it adds a bomb! What do you think a bomb is?! Another version of a timer! If you don’t match the bomb to get rid of it or pass it on again to the next pic, it ends the game! Then you either start over or watch a video to continue without a bomb. I’ve had 1 bomb, & up to 5 bombs in one game! It’s hypocritical to allow me to choose no timer, but still make me use a bomb! And I can’t get rid of them unless I match or wait for it to blow up & watch a video. Also, what are the diamonds for? I have thousands of diamonds and nothing to use them on. ??

Connect VERY DISAPPOINTING. Do you even read these reviews and do they get send to the company that owns them or does anybody care. Mostly there are bad reviews. this is a very fun and addictive game but it doesn’t seem how many times you write bad reviews they do not fix the problems. Tonight every time you try to go into it, it just reverts back to the main screen and you cannot play. The screen shrinks and you can’t see a thing unless you get a magnifying glass. You can’t play one full game of this addictive game. Very disappointing. I have deleted it several times then go in at a later date and NOPE. I don’t know if they don’t care anymore or not. The game starts out fine then the first time it goes to an ad it goes to a political ad but when the game does come back on, it has shank to about 1/3 of the size. You not only have problems seeing it but the whole game is not on the screen and the help buttons are definitely not on the screen.

A few tweaks to make it great. This is a fun game that doesn’t require as much brainpower as sudoku or other similar games. A couple of tweaks would make it even better. 1. An option for levels/number of cells would be great. Sometimes I like the challenge of having the maximum number of cells to work on. Other times I might like easier levels, with fewer cells. 2. Image selection: there are some image sets that pop up but are not part of the list of image choices. I’d like to be able to choose them instead of them popping up randomly. 3. Option to reset the board/start over with a different set of images or number of cells. Basically, there is no way to start over with a new board/new images/new number of cells. I bought the “no ads” option, but don’t really see a need to buy any of the subscriptions. I earn enough hints and shuffles just from playing.

Has potential. I enjoy this game to a point, however I have a few frustrations. I really hate that the game closes a lot but won’t save my place. Even if I have paused it, if it closes, it reopens with changes. Some of the tiles will be totally different and everything will be in a new place. Sometimes even the entire theme totally changes. I should be able to pause the game indefinitely and have everything the way I leave it, when I come back to it. Also, some themes appear a lot and some rarely do. I would love to play the truck, fruit, and shoes more often. I have contacted the developers, as this has been going on for over a year, but they have yet to do anything about it. Other games are able to pause without changes, so why is it so difficult to take care of the problem with this one? I may just end up deleting it if it doesn’t improve.

Where Did My Bomb Defusers Go??. Fantastic response! The bomb defusers are back in my account. I can now say wholeheartedly that this my favorite game, and I’ve adjusted my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars! Thank you so much for actually reading the reviews and applying fixes so quickly!! 🥰 ************************************************* I could play this game for hours. The game is very generous with boosters and I have decent amount of the boosters stockpiled. But, imagine my surprise when I updated the app today and all my stored boosters were there EXCEPT the bomb defusers! 🤔 I had around 150 of them and they’re just gone. Then on top of that, the defuser icon is greyed out so I cannot even click on it to purchase the defusers with gems. I use all the boosters very rarely, but it’s nice to have them when I need them. For this reason alone, I cannot give a five star review; sorry guys. If the defusers show up in my account, I’ll return to adjust my rating to five stars. 🤞🏻

Goes to black. I’m addicted to the race with the clock / find stuff games... so this on is most compelling BUT the images are very tiny for visually impaired older folks so it hurts even with glasses. I played for a month had an upgrade then every 3 or 4th screen it crashes to dark gray or black... there are so many ads it’s a drag to wait for longer than you actually play. Everyone is correct... far too many ads... I can’t play now because the screen is frozen on one. It usually allows the ad to finish before freezing up. Curious why it won’t let obvious matches be made but now that I’ve read I’m not alone it’s just flawed. I do like to play a bit longer than your game allows due to these goes to black or frozen moments. I lose interest and will go back to Mahjong. THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.... is not an actual answer. I keep having to return to the same feedback from last month. This game can go for an hour or more of exciting smooth playing ... then go to gray .... and lock up for hours/ days even. I was right in the middle of a great game the bomb goes takes me to an ad then back to a dark gray that will stay that way for awhile. It’s so frustrating that Ivd gone to others to find a replacement It happens as often as the bad ads for the Lenovo Yoga laptop are shown. Not every time but often enough that I’ve just shut the game down the moment that ad comes up.

Very Monotonous. I’ve been playing this game for probably 5 years or so now and today I’ve decided I’m done. I liked the game but I’m SO sick of the same 15-20 boards over and over and over. Why in the world doesn’t the app have dozens and dozens of different game plays? There should be like 40-50. When a new board pops up, which is rare, I’m super excited then it returns to the old boring ones. A week ago I paid for limited ads thinking that would make me like it more. NOPE!! Sad because I DID like it and played almost daily. OH NO!!!! WHY did I update this game? I lost all the 50 plus pliers to stop a bomb. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!!!!!? I’m out for sure now. I DO NOT like the looks of this update. Why can’t people leave well enough alone? UGH! I might raise my review to more stars if my bomb diffusers returned Update: I think I understand what you are referring too. Once I get to a board where there is a flashing bomb, if I toggle over to the other saved items, that is where my diffusers are located. I did that yesterday and today I’ve come to another play board where there is a bomb flashing and my “pliers” are greyed out and empty. Now where are they?

Great game but frustrating due to freezing. This could be a brilliant game. I love the challenge it offers but unfortunately the game OFTEN freezes and the only option I have is to close out of the game and then to reopen it to continue. There are way too many ads and again, the x won’t work to close the ad, even when I’ve been forced to watch the ad the whole way through. Again another close down and reopen. The VIP version would interest me if it wasn’t sooo expensive and for a game with so many glitches there is no way I’m willing to chance the paid version, especially after reading the reviews. Also some of the game tiles have very small/intricate pictures which you can’t make bigger which is very frustrating for us older people. PLEASE fix these issues. You would make way more money cause I would pay for the VIP version as I’m sure would many other people. You have a potential huge hit on your hands, if you would just fix the problems. Thanks.

Adds. I love the game and all but I hate how many adds there is. Because when begin a level there is a add and the timer has already started and the add is taking away the time for the level. Also at the end of a level a add pops up and so then it takes I don't know I think 30 seconds just to play and again takes away time from playing. So I’m hoping you can fix this because it is really annoying.

Fed up. This game has great potential for memory improvement but it fails in this as it is 99% adds which disrupt the flow of the game & therefore the thought process. There are so many things wrong with this game besides the adds such as loosing points; not being above to continue as there is no option to do so only MORE adds etc. What a shame a great idea has been ruined for all who try to play.

Good game, but…. Game has frozen on opening screen. No amount of rebooting changes this. If I delete app and download again, I lose 25,000 games’ worth of free moves. Ads boringly repetitive with no opt out at the end, meaning a reboot. If frozen game doesn’t clear in day our two, I’ll delete and find something else to play. Not going to start from scratch again

Don’t worry a ton about other reviews. MY experience This is a very awesome, simple, oddly satisfying game to me. I love it, the rounds can be quick or more difficult, and I like how there is small hints and shuffles if you would like to use one. 100% recommend, but your experience or opinion may be different from mine. ‘Problems’ in OTHER REVIEWS Bombs - This app is absolutely amazing! When you get the bomb, another may appear, but it can be gotten rid of by matching it with a tile of the same, or you watch a short ad and it goes away. I don’t understand what people mean by ‘excessive ads’. There is one ad from the bomb, and other every 3-4 minutes that can be skipped almost every time when you are 5 seconds in. I honestly don’t understand.

Ad freezes the game. I have been really enjoying the game but cant play any further as a pop up ad won’t close. Have tried watching the video, clicking on learn more and just waiting for several moments, but cannot close the ad. Have reset my phone and end up playing the last level again, then have the ad come up and the same problem occurs. A shame because it was a good game

Too many ads and wastes time.. I tried playing this but every time I started a new game a ad would pop up. Now I know that ads are the way they make money, but when you can’t skip the ads and the game automatically starts as soon as you hit the button to enter (then the ads pop up), I have had problems with the bombs exploding because they are counting down while the ads are playing & you can’t do anything about it. I personally can do without the game. Time to delete.

😏😏. Love playing this game but the amount of ads is annoying; and been having a few problems, freezing then when I re-open the game the pictures are to small to see once again close and open the app and it lags and crashes. Pretty disappointed but very addictive.

Fun, but WAY TOO MANY ADS!. This game is very addictive but the extremely high amount of advertising ruins the game, you lose momentum and interest very quickly because of the ads, which happen after every single level and at times in between if you choose to get more time to finish a puzzle. Also, some of the image sets are very repetitive - would be nice to see some new ones introduced to the game.

Addictive fun. Best game I’ve come across in a long time. Incredibly hard to put down once you start playing! Can be a little frustrating when it freezes during an ad - you have to completely close down the game and reopen which means you lose any hints earned on that level. Totally addictive fun. I dare you to give it a go and stop after a couple of games!!

Great game, ads very frequent. I mostly love this game. I get the point of ads and while annoyingly frequent I don’t mind them too much, I just hide the repetitive ones. I haven’t experienced the freezing others mention. The one thing I REALLY don’t like is the level where the pics move around in different directions. Kinda ruins the game for me and there’s no way to skip those levels. Also, WAY too expensive for paid version. Almost double what I pay for netflix. Nope!

Far too many ads. The game premise is ok, even if a bit annoying when you get a bomb you can’t possibly reach in time. But the most annoying thing is the constant stream of ads, a constant banner ad, plus another and every minute a full screen one. The game is just not worth continuing to play. The other reviews are right.

Absolute rip off of a game and so repetitive. I stupidly subscribed to the VIP of $5.49 per month to avoid ads but the bomb goes off so quickly into the game that you still have to endure 30 second long ads to go back to the game without losing where you got up to. Absolute greed from this app developer plus the glitches, how small the icons are and so repetitive. I got up to level 117 hoping to see the game that they advertised that made me download it in the first place and it never came. Same old repetitive images hence cancelled my subscription. Do not recommend at all.

Great game terrible app. The game is great, love the challenges and pics-would be good if u could pick the amount of tiles to play. But the app itself keeps freezing, usually to do with all the ads it has, freezes mid ad and have to restart to watch another ad etc. wish there was a one off purchase price for the app to be ad free.

Great Game. This is a fun game if you like training your brain to do things it doesn’t usually do. The puzzles change randomly so the rules for each are slightly different but no less doable. All you need to do is get your head around the new puzzle type.

Disappointed. Started playing this game and loved it so purchased to remove ads, but still has ads to get through bonus things but it’s so glitchy, I watch ads and it doesn’t give the bonus, when it’s a moving level they line up properly half the time and then I’ve been left with one at the end of a round with a pairs game that’s clearly not right, please fix all bugs and I prove this game. Anyone thinking about buying it don’t waste your money

Good game, lousy ads. I quite like this matching game BUT it’s interrupted very often by tedious ads. One for handmade stuffed toys which I must have seen 50 times, one quite disgusting one which shows larvae being squeezed out of the sole of a foot. Revolting! I don’t know where to complain to except here. Why would they expect a person playing a simple game matching boxes or faces to enjoy a nauseating squeeze game? I know pimple popping videos are watched a LOT but they are easy to avoid, this horrible simulation turns up when I am having a few minutes down time. Ugh!

Ads!!. I like this game but at the same time find it extremely frustrating. I spend more time watching the ads than I do playing the game. Every ad is 30 seconds long which is ridiculous! Also the bombs add no value, other than forcing me to watch another ad when it explodes. Lastly, some of the tiles are to small. When they have as much detail as they do it makes it really hard to see.

WAY TOO MANY ADS. Ridiculously frequent & long ads, and when i (eventually) get the chance to close the ad, the close X doesn’t work, no matter how many times I hit it. So the only option is the close out of the game. Then when I re-open the app, it brings me to the same screen I just completed. Really, really annoying. Not the best game to play on a small screen, really strains my eyes with the more intricate levels. But really, just the stupid frequency of ads makes it very boring. Get rid of the ads - or at least reduce them - and fix the glitches & i’d enjoy it.

New update. My app has just updated & now every time I make a match there are sparkly things that stay in that position. This is extremely distracting & has taken away the enjoyment of the game. I will also agree with everyone else about the ads freezing the app & have to close & re open, also annoying. I am now not going to be using this app but will check in to see if the sparkly things have been removed.

Too many ads. I like the game a lot, but the amount of ads make it extremely tiresome to get through. I would be happy to pay to remove the ads, but you have to pay to be a VIP on a weekly or monthly basis. Who can afford it? I can’t see how they have a rating of four stars, when there are clearly a lot of issues with the amount of ads. Who could give it five stars when the developers are so greedy for our hard-earned dollars?

Too many advertisements. You just get into a game, trying to concentrate, when an advertisement comes up. In total, close to 25% of the time the game is open, you are watching an advertisement. You watch a 30 second advertisement for another 90 seconds of playtime. One advertisement at the end of a game is enough. There are still too many advertisements so you obviously don’t take any notice of the feedback given. It is a pity that you cannot spell the word “people” in your advertisement correctly! Not a good look.

Way too many Ads. The game is great for making you think under pressure, however there are too many cons to give it a rating above 2 stars. These include, the incessant ads which drain my battery and use up my mobile data plan when no Wi-Fi is available (I know necessary evil in the free version of the game, however, I am not paying the exorbitant price the developer wants to remove them); the fact that an internet connection is required for the game to start (I don’t have a reliable internet connection where I am at times) is a big negative; the game constantly crashes and freezes to the point of having to restart my phone to clear the problem caused by the game.

Ridiculous amount of ads. The developers have clearly been given feedback regarding the ludicrous amount of ads that interrupt the game. They aren’t willing to do something about it, which is a shame. It is an enjoyable game but the constant ads required to finish a level (and you have to sit through the same 30 ads over and over and over- up to 12 times to finish a visually complex level) make you want to stab yourself in the eye with a fork. It’s unbearable. I paid to have the ads removed and I still have to sit through ad after ad. Do NOT recommend.

Astounded. To the Developer of this game. It is quite clear you have a large issue in regards to many users/customers paying to have ads removed but are still seeing ads appearing. It is very obvious you neither care or are to lazy to respond to users/customer issues as you have not responded in writing TO EACH CUSTOMER who are paying you money for a product. Due to your nil response you obviously have little interest or respect in your customer base. I implore you to respond to each concern in writing and not peddle out a generic response as this also shows a lack of respect. Many users/customers are quite livid with you, the developer and have taken time to pay you and then write their concerns, PLEASE respond to these people individually. A LITTLE RESPECT GOES A LONG WAY.

... Ever since the update the ads have hidden all the things that I have earned to help on the game, I can no longer use them and it’s frustrating, I can’t cut the bombs if needed, add extra time or even change my picture if I wanted too. I like the game but this frustrates me and makes me want to delete Ads as pop ups after each level cool but adds hiding and making my power ups unusable frustrating and annoyed

Awesome game, but…. I love this game. However I can no longer play it when out of wifi range and today I can only match one pair before it freezes, it’s always frozen, but usually closing it and starting again will give you more game play. Now I make one pair and it freezes, I close it, open it, make one pair it freezes. I just can’t play it anymore, which is a shame because it’s a really addictive game (iPad pro).

Good challenge, lots of ads. Great for stretching your brain and improving spatial/visual skills. Too many ads in free version. And ... I can’t workout the new booster/hint/help button, the one with the pair of pliers. I click it but nothing happens. What am I missing? Clearer instructions for using help buttons would improve things.

Too many bugs and ads. It’s infuriating to sit through the constant adds, only to come back and the game hasn’t loaded properly. I’ve had the images so small I can’t tell them apart, or askew on the page so you can’t see a couple of rows of images, or you can’t access the option bar along the bottom. Sometimes it freezes. The only way to continue after all these problems is to close out of the app and then sit through all the adds again. Often it reloads with the boring coloureds numbers or letters which I will have already sat through adds to change from.

Sara. Was loving the game was past level 2300 with over 4000 free picks app was playing up adds locking kept having to force close the app and would reload then would only have 20secs or less to try to finish the current puzzle then the press add button would lock and had to force close app again and again this all started happening after the last update was driving me insane so uninstalled app and reinstalled app hoping to fix bugs only to lose all my history and have to start from level 1 again with only the given free picks NOT HAPPY 😥😥😥😥😥

Fix this game!!!!. Yes this could be a fun game despite the excessive, annoying and poorly timed ads. But it’s been so glitchy lately. For the second night in a row all it is offering is a black screen and the soundtrack. The games have been freezing for days but now we have a new version of useless that you can’t exit out of. I’ll try again tomorrow (to see if it resets) but am almost at the point of not bothering. I don’t want to delete the app yet again as it takes you back to junior level. Fix it!!!

Love the game. I love this game. Could play for hours. It can be a bit glitchy sometimes and requires a restart. Ads can also be annoying and drain my battery. I would consider the VIP version but as others have stated it is very expensive. I wish it had a one off purchase for an ad-free version

Too pricey, bugs and adds. This is a great game ruined by the developers. High rotation of the same add, often freeze requiring you to switch your iPad off to unfreeze. The bombs are set in places that you have about a 3% chance of getting to it so you avoid yet another add, and whilst I don’t mind paying a one off fee to remove adds I am darned if I am going to give you the equivalent to my Netflix subscription after currency exchange every month. Way to many other games to choose from that don’t overcharge and have apps without bugs or excessive advertising.

Fun but too expensive for VIP version.. I agree with all the other reviews! Way too many ads, far too frequently!! And too expensive to purchase! I can only play this game for short periods of time because of the almost endless stream of ads! It’s a real shame because it’s a great game with some lovely graphics. Presumably there are a lot more designs in the VIP version! I might pay $5 a month, but I wouldn’t dream of paying $5 a week. For less than $20 a month I have Netflix with a HUGE and unlimited variety of movies and shows with NO ads! I’m sure this game would make so much more money by dropping the price, then so many more people would be happy to pay for it!

A good game gone tragically wrong.. All of the comments I have read say pretty much what I want to say and that is, the game keeps freezing and these comments were from 3 years ago. This probably means that no-one is now monitoring this game and so we are stuck with it or else we delete the game. Simple as that!

Too many ads!. I like the game (except for the version where the tiles change direction every move) but the amount wanted for a subscription is ridiculous and the frequency and length of the ads is unwarranted. Recently some ads end on a black screen and do not return you to the game and you have to close it completely to go back to where you were.

Too Many Ads And Game Is Glitches. Really love playing this Game, but like other reviews the ads are ridiculous, only being able to get out of them by shutting game down. Also the last few days the game glitches is really slow to move when and pair is picked, then when does move the pieces are over lapped with each other and sometimes when pieces are near each other ( within the 3 straight lines ) game shakes to show it’s not correct. Come on people what’s going on. Not very impressed. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problems either.

Bugs fixed - better now. Thanks for fixing the bug with not being able to extend game time ( Covid ads seem to have caused the problem)! I’ve upped my rating from 1 ⭐️ As all the negative reviews are telling you - too many long ads for way too little play time. We all expect ads for free games but the balance is waaay out. A 30 second ad will get you only a few mins. If you pause , it’s 2 more 30sec ads. Get the balance right and you’ve got a good game and I’ll give you 5⭐️

Great but annoying. I really like this game, the ads are so long and repetitive. I understand you can buy the other option, but it’s way too expensive charged per month. I had thousands of swaps, changes etc in my game as I’d completed nearly 6000 games. Then it froze and bam. The game closed all gone back to square 1. But I’m still playing.

Too many adds. I love this game but the amount of really long repetitive add is ridiculous...I’m not opposed to adds by any means but when the add are finished and there’s no x in a corner to get rid of it the only option is to leave the game completely and re open screen where upon ur right back to the same add u just left doing exactly the same over and over....there’s also no way that I can see to get more shuffles or hints ...pls fix this mess as otherwise this is a great game...the adds freeze the entire game so frustrating when u finally find a good game but it constantly freezes...if ur game had a once of price to buy I’d consider buying it but such a steep monthly subscription is too much to pay for most people and compared to other games is way over priced....yr add foe “clock master” is the one giving u all the grief

Excessive Ads. This is not a bad game except for the excessive amount of ads. Also many of the ads cannot be silenced even though you are playing the game with no sound!! And annoyingly many of the ads are not true as to the game play of the games they are advertising. I h as be never known an app to have as many ads as this one. There is an ad at the start of the game, an ad if you run out of time, an ad if a bomb goes off, (and usually a bomb is placed where you can’t explode it) and an ad when you finish each level. To stop the ads is ridiculously excessive. Such a shame to ruin a good app.

Love the game BUT. Ads. We know they are necessary. We watch, company gets paid. Brilliant system. My time is worth more than you give me credit for. Whilst happy to have the occasional add for no reason, and definitely happy to get a small in-game reward for watching an ad, the frequency with which they occur for no reason, the complete lack of respect for your clients (that’s us by the way, the players) all go to prove you have the almighty dollar firmly in site. This is your right, obviously, as it is ours to either turn off the internet access whilst playing or delete the app. Either way, no money, and soon no company. Poor business sense is an understatement. I hope you figure it out soon.

Way too many adds. The game itself is quite good, the interruptions of the constant adds is ridiculous. Some of the adds you can’t get out of except by shutting down your iPad completely and starting again. Frequently you watch a 30 second add to get more time and it plays the add but won’t go back to the game, so you have to watch another 30 second add. In total you watch a minute to get an extra 100 secs. Absolutely too much. I know there has to be adds, but come on this is over the top. Completely spoils the game

Pair matching puzzle. This is a great game but the flow is great;ly interrupted by the frequent adds. I use it for someone with early cognitive impairment and the adds negate the otherwise great benefits of this program I use this every day and yesterday the screen went blank and has remained that way since your upgrade. Would greatly appreciate you re activating this game so peace can return to our household.

Game freezes for no reason.. Great game but too many really long poor and very boring ads. This causes the game to freeze and have to get out of it to get started again. Then you get a few seconds play and a long boring ad starts again and the game freezes again. SO frustrating!!! Please fix!!! Update: since the new Government ads started the game freezes every time the bomb cards expldes and you have to go out of the game completely and restart it. Cannot stand the frutration anymore. I love this came but it is way too frustrating atm. Please fix!!!!!!

Great concept, annoying features. Agree with everything that has been said about excessive ads and way too high a price for removing them (some comments say that you still have to suffer them if a bomb explodes!). And yes, BOMBS! They are on top of my hate list. They don’t add anything to the game as getting them relies more on chance than a skill. I make sure to close the game before the bomb explodes and reopen so that the game reshuffles and get chance to kill the b....y thing and I don’t have to watch the same ad for the tenth time. Even if there isn’t a bomb, the little hint icon keeps blinking like an overzealous student (“I know, I know, why don’t you ask me!”) and that annoys the hell out of me when I’m trying to work out my next move. Sometimes I do switch to airplane mode but then every couple of seconds a little warning slides down “no network access”, so that’s annoying as well. Graphics are good except the one with famous landmarks, which is dull. I like different modes of game including the one that slides in all directions. Oh, just remembered. The game reshuffles automatically when there’s no possible move but I noticed couple of times when there was a move I was just about making when it started shaking and reshuffled. Couple of times I managed to finish the move while still shaking. All in all try the game by all means but I wouldn’t recommend paying for it.

Addictive but frustrating. I was going to rate this higher (possibly 3-4 stars) but since the latest update the number of ads has just gotten out of control. I understand the need for ads but if the premium ad-free package wasn’t so expensive I might consider purchasing it. A one off fee would be considerable but not an insanely high monthly fee considering I usually only play on weekends when I have time. Also the constant freezing of the game and the ads is insanely frustrating. Aside from these issues the game is highly addictive and I do enjoy it

New IOS now I can’t load the game. I’ve been enjoying this challenging game & I do agree there are a lot of adds some quite lengthy. My current problem is I’ve just loaded the latest IOS to my iPad Air & now it won’t load the game. I’ve deleted & re loaded the game & also re booted the iPad. Still won’t load pls help.

Great game. Am enjoying this game - and have done for some time. However, I am constantly seeing one ad about weight loss, which is of no interest to me. I’m so sick of it I may have to drop the game. No other way to communicate about the ads I’m seeing, unfortunately!

Great Game. Like other uses thoroughly enjoying the game but ads are ridiculously long and far too frequent. Hate those bombs which are almost impossible to solve and it’s just another opportunity to put in another ad. Expect to view ads for free games but not 30 seconds minimum and not in between games. Please be reasonable with ads

The game is broken,need repair!. The game is broken need repair ! Please check

Unfortunate Changes. I travel for work often, and have been playing this game with no internet for years….All of a sudden it’s not an option. I’ve played over 1000 levels. Unfortunately I’ll be playing much much less often due to not being able to play in airplane mode….. super sad customer here

Love this game. But can’t even open app since last update

Gameplayer bubblegum. I would’ve given 5 stars except this is the second time I’ve had to DL this game bc the first time glitched out. Unfortunately I didn’t know my player info so I had to start from the beginning and I was well into the 3 digits. Other then that this is amazing bubble gum for the brain, I love it. Thank you well done

We love the game but…. We love to play Onnect, but there are a lot of bugs. It litterally jams at the end of some adds and we often lose our bonuses. Please fix the bugs!!!

Used to be good. The game is okay. It will get very tedious at times. My biggest complaint for me is the time they give you complete the levels. Before the big update, if you got a full tile board to complete they used to give you over 6 and half minutes to do it. This was useful considering how small the tiles are especially if the images are emoticons. Now they slashed the time in half. Why is this?

Do you like ads?. Way way way to many ads! So what the game is fun, you end up being very frustrated having to watch the ads to get more time! Unless you pay a lot of money every month of course!

Game Does not Pay Out Rewards Won in Competition. This game up does not pay out rewards eaten in its 24 hour competitions. After winning a few competitions it have licked m out of receiving any rewards I win. If you are hoping to be paid out for your wins, don’t hold your breath.

Yup, too many ads.. Would give 1/2 a star if that was an option, only because of the ads. There’s an ad after almost every level. And definitely very glitchy. I only keep it cause it’s good for the times I just need a mindless distraction

Problem is back. I really enjoy the game but it’s freezing up again. Problem was fixed for a short time but now it stuck on a level again. Super frustrating! It looks like there was an update and I can access my claimed prizes for assistance on levels with the search or snips etc. the adds are covering them

Love the game But-!. On iOS the hints do not work any longer. If I see that I have a few hints and want to use them, they do not jiggle out show the match. They just get lost.

Great fun, when it works. This is a frustrating game to try to play. So many of the ads stall the game & it just hangs there. Certain ads hang it every time they come up.

Mundane. Advertised as a Concentration type game. Just boring and unchallenging

New update is horrible!. Whatever this new update is has ruined the game for me! I've played over 1500 levels of Onnect and love it but, why is there suddenly no big puzzles anymore?!? They were what made the small ones worth going through to get an actually tough one. I will no longer be playing if it continues to exclude the bigger puzzles.

Fun. It is so fun

Way too many ads. When it takes almost 10 mins to clear a board because you’re waiting for mandatory 30-45 second ads - its so slow and annoying to play. Also sometimes you are tapping to select a picture and you have to tap it 3 times to get it to actually select and this wastes time :( so then you run out and have to watch another of the same long ad. Even for free the ads are bit much.

Repeats. I’m at level 6956 and ready to leave it. It cycles through a few different ones over and over. I can tell when the new screen comes up that it’s the same games again.

Too repeatetive. Would love to give five stars but the puzzles are the exact same, same tiles, same positions. Feels like autopilot. Bring back the full page ones and prior levels at least, been months stuck with the same few layouts

Not like demo. Way too many adds. Game like the demo I watched.

Great Game. Have played this game for over a year now. I LOVE the music; I wish I knew what it was. I have an earlier version on my iPad which I like better, but the new version has some better board pieces. I really DON’T like the timer in the new version!!! It’s annoying and I hate having to watch an advertisement for extra time. Also, I prefer how they did the bonus pieces in the earlier version. I’ll make sure NOT to do any updates in my iPad.

How to properly spell people. You PEOPLE want PEOPLE to play your game but on the demonstration you can’t even spell PEOPLE correctly…Why would I want to play it. When you spell a word as simple as PEOPLE incorrectly it just makes you look dumb! Then before sending my review you won’t let me even send it unless I at least rate your game, I give you guys a big fat zero…I wonder if others realize that you can’t even spell “POEPLE” I’m sorry but if you’re advertising for a game you want PEOPLE to play then just get it right and don’t force PEOPLE to rate your game just to send a review!

Gets boring!. Repetitive with no choice of what puzzle appears. Originally it was fun but slightly tedious as you get tired of partly playing puzzles you do not like to get one you do. (Almost impossible to finish in short timeframe allowed so you are stuck viewing an ad to get more time, or view an ad and start a new game. However as short time frame entertainment before you are bored of it. It wasn't bad. However as ads get longer and longer and glitch more and more often, using a new updated device, Im seriously considering deleting! .

Haven't been working all day. I love this game but I was not able to play it all day. Probably a problem with the last upgrade.

Glitches. For the past couple of weeks I don’t have my 5 hints or shuffles usually given for watching a video. Even uninstalled and reinstalled. Emailed 2 times no response. Has the game changed? Anybody?

Onnect Puzzle. J’adore ce jeu. J’aime chercher les objets dans un temps requis.

Trash. The game has turned into a child’s game. The previous version without the block freeze and other stuff was way better. Uninstalling the app

Fun. I really enjoy this game, however, paid for ad removal but still a whole lot of ads. The interruptions are annoying as hell.

Bon jeu. Des annonces à chaque fin du temps écoulé

Onnect. I reloaded this game on my new iPad and besides having to start over, the ads are ridiculous! After each level? Come on!

Too many ads. Fun game but the amount of ads make it too frustrating to play. More instructions would be helpful. Had some bomb show up but no explanation on how to use it.

Too many ads.. Just downloaded and played for 10 minutes and 30% of that time was ads. Deleting.

Time. It is annoying that, though you time us your game is slow to connect the match we press on!

Onnect. I sure love this game! I don't suppose if there will be new images for people that don't upgrade? Thank you! Kim M.

Wow!,. Highly addictive with a peaceful soundtrack

New format. What’s with the new format??? It’s aweful. Only 3 lines after having a full page to go through is turning it into a child’s level game. 😡

Too many. Way too many ads. Fun game but the ads last way too long, bait you into clicking them ( fake skip buttons) and then freeze and crash the app

Fun but glitchy. This is a fun game but it’s very glitchy - watching ads to get additional time or move to the next game, and there are lots of ads, they often freeze and you can’t move past a frozen screen or simply a black screen. You have to close the game (which means losing your spot/rewards) and start again. Sometimes the tiles come on and are so small, the pictures can’t be seen. Would consider paying a REASONABLE amount to purchase ad free play but the subscription prices are outrageously expensive. Please fix the glitches - if I’m going to watch ads, it would be great if they didn’t boot me out of the game! Now, with the latest update (Nov 2022), the game won’t even open so I can’t even watch the ads! There seem to be lots of updates to fix bugs.....the game not opening seems to be a bug worthy of attention! Please fix

Too many ads. Soooo many ads. I get that the game is free but it’s ridiculous.

Simple but challenging. I find it relaxing.

People is spelled incorrectly. Someone should spell check the ad

Onnect. Very frustrating when other games keep popping up. Just want to stop ads

Changing tiles. I HATE that I can’t change the tiles for free. There are some that I don’t like. I will be deleting this game.

Crashes after almost every game. Fix the bugs. This has been going on for awhile.

Not worth your time.. This was a fun app until about 5-6 months ago. There are far too many ads to make this enjoyable now at all. You are forced to watch sone ads in their entirety and sometimes get 3-4 ads in a row. Sometimes the screen locks and you have to leave the app for a few hours. It sometimes takes a long time to solve a game, so you may have to leave the game in the middle. When you return, you will find that you’ve lost all your moves and you start at the beginning again. This is not a good app any more. There are others that are much better and much less frustrating. I recommend that you avoid this app.

Groundhog Day. It keeps giving me the same game over and over again. Every once in a while it will change but repeats multiple times. Same puzzle, same icons, same order on repeat.

OH THE ADS🙄. Way too many long ads and too frequently. The app is not as advertised.

Good Game. This is a fun game. I would like it if I could combine three at once instead of two.

LOVE THIS GAME. Upgrade is too expensive. I’d like to pay once - not subscribe.

Can’t open game. The game is really good but after the new update it won’t open

Glitchy. Would love to give this game 5 stars but it constantly glitches. It freezes multiple times per level, when it shuffles it will sometimes give you tiles so small that you can barely see them and there are lots of ads!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Love this game, BUT. Actually 4 and 3/4 stars. I do love to play Onnect but there are a couple of things that I find annoying. First I think there are too many adds. Sometimes after you watch an ad you only get maybe 65 seconds to play before the next one. The other is a change that is recent. I’m often interrupted while playing. It used to be that when I went back to the game the pieces may have been rearranged but your progress was in tact. Now it starts the game all over. I don’t like that at all.

Fun at first. I like this game but I am not very good at it. I’m in my 70’s so I have time to play but I have trouble with my eyes. I like the shiny letters because they are so easy to see but the icons and some others are so difficult to see. I would love a slower version geared more to seniors. Also, the game often scrambles itself and stops working properly if you make more than one connection at a time. The lines get out of kilter and certain connections work but others don’t. Aggravating. Update. I’m about done with the game. I don’t care to purchase hints or wait too long for ads so I am probably not a great customer. Good luck to you.

Onnect changed points. So I absolutely love playing this game. I can play for hours. Up until a couple of months ago...you no longer get points unless you watch 30 second commercials. And now you only get 1 point per commercial. Where it used you give you points based on the level of time you cleared the board. It just makes me mad. Why does everything have to be based on commercials. I will on occasion play it now. But hate the commercials. It doesn’t matter your skill level anymore. I HATE watching 30 second commercials for only one point. Please go back to the was it was!!!! I have other friends who have stopped playing all together because of this.

Too many ads. This game is very fun, addicting and challenging, but there are WAY TOO MANY ads! Ad comes up when time runs out, another one once board is finished and to get reward. And pretty much anything else involved in the game. This game isn’t good enough to warrant a weekly or monthly subscription fee. Monthly fee after initial month is ridiculous! $9.49! Not even worth the $3.99 charge. If it weren’t for the exorbitant number of ads and the price gouging to remove the ads, I’d give the game 5 stars. One glitch I have seen is when the timer goes to zero it takes 2-3 tries and sometimes more to load an ad. When you have to leave the game for any reason and then go back the rest of the board is remarkably easier. Keep the difficulty the same when returning to the game.

One of my go-to games!. This game is fun, absorbing, and a great way to pass the time. I find it especially helpful when I have something on my mind, because I can play while I’m thinking about something else — it helps me sit still and sort out my thoughts instead of doing other things that would probably distract me. It’s also a great waiting-room game! It’s very well designed and customizable, so I can more or less choose whatever level or design I feel like playing at the time. Love it! 😄💖🎉

Loved it until it wouldn’t let me get past certain level. This is a great game that honestly, helped my concentration and focus skills greatly in my daily life and tasks. However, about 3 days ago I evidently reached a certain level where I keep playing the same puzzle over and over and over again, with the same frustrating outcome. There is no way possible to beat the 30 sec time limit they put on the game, to allow you to advance to the next level. (Or to even allow a change in images!). Very frustrating. I am going to have to delete it because now it is simply a waste of time. I know unless I purchase the VIP package, all I will do is sit and watch ads The whole time. The creators need to allow for some sort of way to skip a game, image or override a time limit.

Hate the game now updated. What is with the sparklers. They make it hard to see the item and they don’t even disappear when the game ends. I will play this game once they remove the sparklers. I use to enjoy this game and played several times a day. Now I will check the game daily..if there are sparklers then I won’t play. THANK YOU for removing the sparklers. This is my go to game for daily distraction. Now if it’s at all possible can you make this game playable in the horizontal position. The power cord is to the left of my iPad and I can’t keep it plugged in while playing because the iPad has to rest on that end when playing. This would make the game perfect.

Love the game, but .... The Humane Society ads have got to go! When I play a game, I’m trying to relax and have a little fun, not be bombarded with animals being tortured! This game is rated for ages 4 and up. Do you really think a young child should be submitted to that? It disturbs me. You need to take a little care when accepting advertising and not just let anyone advertise because they’re paying you. I have nothing against rescue orgs - most of the animals I have are rescues and I contribute to rescue orgs. But when I want to relax, I don’t want to see men holding a puppy’s mouth while whey force a tube down it’s throat to test whatever they’re testing. That’s not the only image, there are others. Again, it’s very disturbing - not relaxing at all. When the humane society ads are gone, I’ll play again and change my rating.

I’m done!. After two years, I finally dumped this game. I’m so sick of losing games, not getting credit/points for games played and being held up by too many malfunctioning ads. The ads are so intrusive (I don’t ever spend money on extras so I’m probably not your ideal player anyway) that I’ve taken to just having a different game (Wordscapes) going on a second iPad so I can go back and forth and not have to wait around for the ads to clear. But tonight, in the weekly tournament, I built up 74 points to put myself in first place ahead of the previous #1 at 72. When I came back to collect my prizes, my points had been reduced to 70 and I got second place. I wouldn’t complain except THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! I’m moving on. I feel so relieved that I don’t have to see your annoying Onnect icon anymore!

Dislike new reward system. I’ve played so many hours of this game and I dislike the new reward system a lot. The time left on the counter doesn’t increase your reward any longer and you have to watch long ads even when you don’t click the green button to increase the stars. You used to be able to skip the ad after five seconds or so. What’s the point of clicking the regular button if you still have to watch a long ad that even when you click the X doesn’t go away? The game itself is still fine but I dislike the new system a great deal and it detracts from the user’s enjoyment. I’d like it to return to the old way that was tried and true.

Paid for no ads - still getting ads!. I really like this game. After playing for a while I liked it so much that I decided to pay $3.99 to get rid of the ads. I won’t do subscriptions but I hate ads and if I like a game enough and there is an option to pay once and get rid of them, I’m happy to support the developers. However, after paying the $3.99, which was supposed to eliminate banner ads and interstitial ads, I was still getting ads! I tried restarting the app and it was fine for a minute or so and then the banner ad popped back up. So I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling because I saw that there was a “restore purchases” button on the pause screen. Well, that button doesn’t work! So of course I’m still getting ads. I went to the developers website and was unable to find a way to report an issue so they’ve basically stolen my money.

Enjoyable game - WAY too many ads !!!!!!!!!. I have played this game for several hours and have truly enjoyed the challenge of the larger boards. However, after a few games, the ads increase to a point where it is beyond frustrating. An ad between timed out sessions, every win, every entry into the app just isn’t worth my frustration ( literally every few minutes). I will, like many other apps I’ve tried, most likely delete it specifically for that reason, not for lack of enjoying the game itself. I will admit to having paid for removal of ads in some of my favorites up to $3, but to ask your players to commit to $9.49 MONTHLY to remove ads and get a few bonuses, NO THANKS! All these FREE games come at a price if you want to enjoy them......ALWAYS.

NEVER SEE any new image collections!! No Perks at all. Not a chance they let you earn extra shuffles or image set swaps or time or whatever! Hand over your $$$dollar!!! This game is fun but only every 4 or 5 won games do they give you a perk like “switch the image set” or “shuffle the board.” It’s fun and I have spent HUNDREDS, yes, I kid you not, and I still see ads AND I only have a few image sets, not like what is seen here in the App Store. They really give NO CARES about their game players. I play way too many games and this is the stingiest by far. I quit. Why did I waste my money in a company that wouldn’t give you anything in return. Poor. Yuck. Why did I come here? Too many games to play....don’t waste your time here!

Used to love it…. I play this game a LOT! Or I did, until firstly, they changed the reward system. Play 5 or 6 rounds to earn 1 reward? Nonsense! Plus, they’ve added ads between every round! Used to only see ads if I was trying to “buy” additional time or hints, or whatever. But the absolute WORST thing is their ads never load correctly! I cannot tell you how many hints I’ve lost …probably 50 or more now…from the ad starting and then blacking out on my screen. Or, from the X to leave the ad and get back to my game not working and getting stuck in the ad. Sooo frustrating! And yes, I’ve checked to see if my game needs updating ( not that it shows) and I’ve many many times turned my iPad off and back on. I still play sometimes because I had a lot of hints stored up and I’m playing until they’re gone, but…I’m disappointed.

Fooled by the ads. Gamer Beware.. Gamer Beware: I downloaded this game because of ads in another game I play. It looked good. You had to match, but not the same cards. Just an example I’m making up, match a cat and a fish because the cat eats the fish. Yeah, it was that kinda ad, but this game is just a simple match game. I feel completely deceived by the advertising. It gets one star because I’m tired of game devs that think they can get away with false advertising to fool us gamers and then do a complete bait and switch. This isn’t anything like the ads I saw and I’m not interested in playing a freaking simple match game where the cards are exactly the same. I have plenty of them downloaded. And now I’m going to make sure any paid subscription I was automatically subscribed to is removed. I downloaded without reading info about the game. Gamer beware!

bombs. I have played this type of game before and then my phone went out and I couldn’t remember the name and found yours the graphics are great and I understand the fact that non payers don’t get the fancy things like halloween they just get hats but the bombs are so annoying especially when they are towards the center which is why I rate it a 3. Update: I discovered that if you watch an ad (like there isn’t enough) you can finish the round without them so THAT is not too bad. I can deal with the bombs now in fact the game still has its charm. So I don’t see myself deleting it any time soon. The only reason I dropped the stars is the obnoxious Christmas game ad the music is not only terrible but its loud too. Here I am playing with cool relaxing music and birds then that ad pops up and that is the end of my relaxing game. updated review Thank you so much for removing the obnoxious Christmas game ad. So I rated it higher and I noticed the ad now mentions the annoying bomb cards and the timer so at least players now know about them. I got a message saying the irritating Christmas ad had been removed it hasn’t. I really have nothing against Christmas its just the ad is so loud. So deleting the stars and the game.

Ads made me stop. I loved this game and usually played it to relax myself before sleeping. It has calming music which helps as well. The the excessive ads though, made me uninstall it, just because they were so annoying and so excessive. I feel that they broke the calming nature of the game and were a disruption to that effect. If ads are going to be used, why not do one after a board is cleared rather than 6 or 7 times ( if not more )during a game. I also think the timer part of the game should be a chosen option, so that there can be and endless play experience. I also think the theme of the tiles should be a selection rather than a surprise. Some of the current themes are annoying. I have offered no rating as of yet. I will wait until the ads issue has been rectified.

Love this Game. I really love this game and play it all the time. But 2 days ago it started just cutting out during play. Like - poof - it closed for no apparent reason. It did it over and over so I restarted my computer and it was still the same. I finally deleted it thinking that the app was somehow damaged. I reinstalled and now I have lost all the progress I had made over the last year. I had to start from the beginning but nothing changed. It is still cutting out on me and closing for no reason. I checked to make sure it was the latest upgrade, which it seems may be something in the last upgrade that did this. I play on an IPad if that makes any difference. Got any ideas?

What should be a game of logic and skill has a few kinks. I enjoyed the game quite a bit until they added the clockwise rotation. It’s frustrating and makes no sense. You can’t plan moves because it doesn’t always rotate, apparently if it gets too lopsided it halts movement until it’s happy. That’s crazy - there is no logic to it. If I’ve been playing the game for several minutes and the clockwise rotation comes up I will close the game and move on to something else. And a bug that for some reason they don’t fix, the program apparently searches for available moves prior to you removing tiles. So you can set up your next move and it doesn’t see it and shuffles the board.

Great graphics, ads a huge issue. This game is fun, and the graphics fantastic with wonderful pictures on a theme, except I’m not fond of the blank faces, the world sites, and the metallic letters/numbers. But the ads are killing me. I refuse to watch the three part ones with ten or eleven seconds between parts - I’m just waiting until I time out and can play again. I’m sure the revenue is important, but surely fewer ads could be worked out. I also detest the time bomb, have no idea what it’s for, and am glad to be able to cut it out. There seem to be no instructions on the overall game. But I’ll keep playing off and on.

Fun, but I have no idea what I’m doing. This is a super fun game, but I have not been able to figure out how I win clues and shuffles. There’s a bar that shows after every round, but I can’t figure it out. Clicked help within the app, but it doesn’t give info on game play. The ads are annoying, and I would happily pay $.99 to $1.99 for an ad free version, but I’m not paying $9.95 a month for the VIP plan. Some of the ads get stuck and I am have to completely close out and then reopen the game to move on. I have the timer turned off, and wish I could turn that bomb thing off, too. I enjoy playing for fun to zone out for a while, and don’t need the stress of the bomb or timer. Or is that how I get clues and shuffles?

Ridiculously well done. Ya ya ya, there’s time lost to ads, but that just makes it even more challenging and fun, plus click around on em, you’ll find a quicker exit; no need to sit through 30 seconds like a delta bravo. I haven’t even used any helper items (which I assume are what is across the bottom). One level took me almost three days to conquer, that’s awesome. The fact that there are SO many variables, (themes, unpredictable movement, size - even additional images WITHIN the theme, just when you think you’ve trained your brain to see them all, you get more variety)...everyone should put this much thought into their challenges. Dope af. Thanks!

Onnect. I would have said this is my absolute favorite game. Looks easy but is actually challenging and they change it each session moving pieces (which I love) or stationary; small or larger grids and usually plenty of variety although I think they could add more, after all there are sooo many nouns in our language - 90% check agora and you would get it. Anyway my one complaint is the current glitch of having to turn off my iPad after every game because the game screen goes to 50% and you can’t see all of the squares so the bomb goes off on me. That is frustrating. Please fix. Thanks

Not What It Used To Be. Onnect was a very fun and calming game that I would play a few years ago when I had spare time. I came back to the app currently and found that the game is much different than what it was previously. Now, there are tons of ads. You need to be connected to play the game, and every minute or two, an ad will play. Also, the game is so easy now. I am not being challenged in the slightest. I used to struggle at least a little bit when playing this game. Coming back and playing, the game has become so simple and easy. With all the ads and 0 challenge whatsoever, I personally don’t see a point to this game anymore. It’s not worth it, especially since service and wifi is needed to play the game.

What happened to this game?. I just returned to playing this game after about a year break (distracted by life), and it’s now practically impossible to play without paying. It almost seems like I’m playing a different game than the other reviewers because there are zero ads to extend game play time and no option for a VIP package? I can understand a “challenge,” but there’s no way you can complete these levels in this short amount of time. Sure, I have tools I can use, but (1) the timer is so short I would have to use many tools, and (2) since I don’t know how you earn tools now, I’m reluctant to use them. So now, the game is a zero-strategy, pound matches as quickly as you can stressfest. Such a shame because I really liked this game, even with the interrupting ads.

Bombs!. Now I can’t play this game unless I purchase! You could previously deactivate bombs but I ran out of those and have to purchase to play. You could also watch a video to start back but that seems to be gone too. If they expect me to purchase they are sadly mistaken, there is a plethora of games to play! The bombs go off but you I’m now adding to my previous review! I would give it NO STARS if I could. The bombs are extremely disturbing and the game is no longer gratifying! PLEASE grant us the consideration and remove these heinous tortuous bombs! I enjoy the game but have no idea why they put those irritating bombs so you can’t get to them! My nerves are frayed and I’m becoming increasingly exasperated with those pesky little bombs! It’s Christmas for crying out loud, get rid of them!

Changed style of game. I used to love this game. Due to the recent changes in the format, I’ve decided not to play any more. I understand the need for ads if someone doesn’t want to purchase the game, but the ads have doubled since I began playing. Add to that the change in scoring and obtaining points to get help and you’ve pretty much taken the fun out of playing. The ads used to run about 15 seconds, but now you get ads from WebMD that repeat every 15 seconds for 45 seconds...AND it’s the same ad over and over. Recently a new format has been installed and the match games are so easy that you can do them in a matter of seconds and then you have to wait through 30-60 second ad runs. The game isn’t fun anymore, and it’s sad because it was one of my favorites.

Don’t bother to buy!!!!. I really liked the game. However, they don’t give you nearly enough time to complete the puzzle without having to view an ad and the ads are EXTREMELY annoying!!!!! I understand that is how they make their money and I don’t mind a few, but the length and amount you have to watch to be able to play is ridiculous. Also the cost of the game is way over priced. So I contemplated a long time on purchasing the game, but I finally did buy the way-over-priced monthly VIP subscriptions to avoid all the ads. I saw no difference in playing the game from the free version to the purchased version. Don’t waste your money on purchasing this game.

Multiple problems on both platforms. 1. On my iphone 7S (so it is a larger phone) the icons are just too tiny to see the details. More specifically on ones like the animals - they are just too tiny. 2. On my ipad it is completely unresponsive to the more time option. It just sits there on the window. 3. Both freeze too much and I have to close it out and reopen it. As others have noted, doing that does release the freeze, but it only gives a few seconds of play rather than the amount that should have been given if the “more time” worked consistently, and additionally it does not give reward and credit for completing a level when it does freeze. 4. If I’ve used the option to change the graphics and I have to pause and resume or close and reopen, it doesn’t retain the graphics that I just changed to so it is a wasted change. I had hoped that playing on my ipad would resolve the too tiny graphics, but the inability to get extra time eliminates it. I’m on level 131 on my phone after playing a few days but the migraines from the tiny graphics are making it not worth it. I think it means deleting from my phone and ipad. Very disappointing!

Great game, some frustrations with paid version. This is a soothing, challenging fun game. My only complaint is with the paid version. I chose to pay to be able to select my image sets, but apparently on paid (untimed) there is no way to earn credits for changing the image sets I don’t like—and it continues to give me image sets I did not select and prefer not to have. The only way to get different sets is to watch an ad (even on paid version), and even then it randomly gives me sets I’ve turned off. If this doesn’t get addressed I will eventually opt out of paid version, because what’s the point if I still have to get ad-ed to death to have what I want.

Worst game on the App Store. I’ve played a few dozen of games from the AppStore and I truly believe this developer hates their customers. Let me describe the ways. At first, it seemed fun (at its core, it IS fun). So you’re doing well, but you run out of time, want more time? Gotta watch an ad. So no big deal, I’ll pay the $4 to get rid of the ads. Nope, just doesn’t show the ads at the bottom, still have to watch the ads. Want to change the tile set? Ad. Want to limit which tile sets get shown? HAVE TO PAY A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION. Oh yeah, after you start playing for a bit, a bomb on a tile shows up and if you don’t want to pay with bombs temporarily, guess what? Video ad. Oh yeah, the worst, I watch an ad to change tile sets, lose to a bomb and get swapped back to the original tileset. I’ve never felt animosity to a game developer in 30 years of gaming until now.

Frustrated and stuck on level 183. I have read the other reviews and perhaps it is because I’m playing a free version but I don’t get any ads to watch for extra time. The rewards are only given after completing a level but not every level was rewarded. There are no perks to coming back day after day. After several levels, I am stuck on 183. It’s bad enough that it’s difficult and that there is a time limit but then you have to deal with 4 bombs on this level! So I am stuck playing the same game over and over again! My husband and I play together to enhance our chances but we haven’t gotten close to winning this level.

FRUSTRATING. The game is fun, but it is the same puzzles over and over again. The biggest downfall are the ads. There are too many that hang up and do not take you back to the game, which prevents you from getting the extra time or bonuses; usually the same ones. But to they get paid when people watch them, so I guess it doesn’t matter. I have also had the game freeze up, usually after a 30-60 seconds it will unfreeze hit it is irritating. I thought it was my phone but I have other games that do not do this. Game wouldn’t load, so I had to remove and reinstall; lost ALL my progress and freebie’s, and it was A LOT! Game still causing phone to freeze up & WAY TOO MAY ADS.

Onnect is great fun, but options are too limited. I like playing Onnect! The variety of game boards keeps the gameplay varied and interesting - the number of tiles, if they move/which direction they move, and whether or not there are bombs. Hints and shuffles are plentiful, and there is always an optional ad to get players through a tricky spot. However, I think the player choice options are sadly limited, unless you’ve paid to be a VIP player. The subscription is too pricey to be reasonable for me, though it does offer lots of perks. My main frustration is not being able to choose or edit the choice of tile. I simply cannot stand the ugly and horrific “Halloween” themed images, and a few other sets are very hard on the eyes when viewed on a gameboard with the maximum number of tiles. Gladly, one can view an ad to randomly generate another set, but when I’m straining to spot the differences on some tiles, it’s very uncomfortable. Perhaps developers can consider an option to let players use a set of “sight-friendly-only” tiles, or perhaps to choose game boards of only a certain size/number of tiles? Thanks for the fun game!

4 tier ads that take over 60 seconds each multiple times each game. I get it. Free game. They need ad revenue to make money. That being said, their ads are : The ad turns off the podcast that you are listening to. (Super annoying. I want to play a game while listening to a podcast) Then the ad starts with a timer…but the timer doesn’t start immediately, it is delayed by a few seconds. Then you click the x at the top. Same thing. A delay of a few seconds before the 10 second timer actually starts. Wait 10 seconds. Click the x at the top. It all starts over again. This happens FOUR TIMES!!!! per advertisement. Their “40 second” ad takes over a minute and four attempts to close it out. TOO MUCH HASSLE. IM GONE!!!

Bad update. I’ve been playing this game for years, and I really like it. I paid for ad free play a while ago and think it was a good value. You only have to watch ads to extend puzzle time. But I do not like the newest update. You can no longer use gems to extend puzzle time (being forced to watch an ad instead), and it seems the puzzle time extensions are much shorter than they used to be, forcing you to watch more ads. I have a ton of gems and wish they’d let you use them again. They literally cannot be used for anything else. Game is even worse with newest update (10/1). Like others i lost my boosters. I’ve been playing for years, can’t use my 50,000 gems for anything and now have no boosters. I’m on level 3504 and everything I’ve earned is gone. Deleting.

Don’t waste your time- too many ads. This game is more ads than game. Bomb explodes: ad. Run out of time: ad. Complete a level: ad. Pause the game: ad. After about level 100 it no longer gets any more difficult, especially because of how many cheats they give you. Bombs occur more frequently as the levels get higher, but it quickly becomes evident that the only reason the bombs are there is so they can play more ads. There’s only about 6-7 image sets that they rotate between and 6 different variations on how the tiles move, so it gets really monotonous. I guess if you are looking for a game just to keep your hands busy that doesn’t take any thought and you don’t mind constantly being bombarded with ads for Fishdom, then it’s ok, but don’t waste your time if you accept anything more.

Pretty good but too many adds. I’ve been playing this game for a couple weeks and I have to say, I really like it. The only problem I have is there are way too many adds. You get an add every time you finish which gets annoying in the easy levels when you are completing puzzles in 30 seconds. You also have to watch adds for extra time, which can also get annoying on the harder levels. But other than that I really like this game and totally recommend it

New reward system is bad!. I actually love this game. I paid for no ads, but that is a major joke! I have more ads in this game than any other, hands down! It seems that with every change you make, you get greedier and try to find more ways to get everybody to watch the ads. And I really don’t like the fact that you changed the rewards! We get cheated out of lots of helps in your new system. I used to be able to get helps in each category after each game. Now it’s after several and if i want more than ONE single help, i have to watch a 30-second ad,again, after paying for more ads! Please go back to the other reward system!

It’s a good game but there are problems. Don’t get me wrong, this game is so much fun! I love playing it and it’s so addictive. I especially love playing it when I’m trying to relax. That being said, the bombs need to go or need to be an option to get them. They are always almost unfair to the point where you can’t even get rid of the bomb without watching an ad or two and it really ruins the relaxation of the game, because suddenly you’re being rushed and it just becomes more stressful than fun. If it weren’t for the bombs I would give it a 5/5 star review because it really is fun but it’s a bummer that you can’t just relax and play it without the bombs appearing almost every single round

It used to be my favorite. I’ve been playing this game for awhile now. I’m on level 1536. Idk if I just reached a certain level or what, but all of a sudden I have these obstacles on the board. Like frozen tiles, locked tiles and you have to find the key, and bricks that stay there no matter what. These have kinda ruined the game for me. I like to play for a short time right before bed. It’s an easy game I doing have to put much thought into right before going to sleep. The obstacles are difficult by any means, but the game seems more scripted now. Maybe we could have the option to turn off the obstacles like we do for the timer??

Love this game until the last update. I have been playing this game for a few months now and can honestly say I get so relaxed playing that I don’t realize how much time has past. All was good until the last update. Now the hints don’t flash, which is ok because it makes me focus on trying to complete it. However, having the hints (which I’ve accumulated over 600) would be nice to use. Please Please fix this. And what are the coins used for? I have over 30k and have no idea what their purpose is….can they be used to buy hints or shuffles? Anyway….love the game and would give it 5 stars if the hints worked

Update. I previously rated this game 5 stars even with the obsessive ads being that I really like the game and to me it was worth it. The premium version was a little out of my budget so the ads were worth to play a great game. But now, I don’t know if it’s the update or high usage by players but now it crashes constantly. You can’t play a game without it freezing or just crashing all together. Now it’s constantly saying no ads or one will start playing and it just crashes. I’m not working now like many people so the premium version is just not a possibility, but it’s like you purposely updated the game to only work if you have that version which is truly sad. I have other games I play and this is the only one that crashes constantly. SMH just sad. Hopefully you guys can fix this. Me on the other hand will search for a similar game.

Problem with ads. I love this game but I have a real problem with the ads that do not complete or their buttons do not respond and you cannot go back into the game and you lose the points you earned. Then you have to go totally out of the game and come back in. I keep the game up to date on up dates and I have the problem when the card bomb goes off and it does not allow you to continue and again you have to start all over. Because of these issues I have not been playing this game this game as much as I use to, it is too frustrating.

why i rated this app what i rated it. Why am I gave this app 1stars and not five is because I was playing this game and when they showed it on a add you could do it anywhere you don’t have to connect like the star line thing you could like connect in any place and now that I actually play it you have make a star line thing connected and it boots me out of the game and I have perfectly good Internet so I know it’s not that and this app is nothing like the add and in the add it gave me you were bot timed not like i can’t do it timed but it makes this game even more bad then it already is also the adds on this app😳other apps have not the best adds but this game has inappropriate apps and that is not ok for littel kids i thought tis game was going to be good and appropriate but i definitely thought rough 🙄😞

Enjoyable Game. The game is fun and very relaxing. I did have an awesome review before this but now that I paid for the monthly subscription for no ads but unfortunately I can’t continue in a game without clicking on an ad. There is an over abundance of ads and that’s why I did the monthly subscription. Where is customer service? How can you play a game with no clue on how to get a full bar for an awesome win in the end? There’s nothing but matching tiles to this game and a clock that when the clock times out it’s ads that you must watch to continue even with the monthly subscription. I’ve sent information with screenshots and hopefully it will get to someone that cares enough to respond. Play Mahjong which is the same thing as this game. If I could rate it less than 1 star I would.

The Devils work. This is the most frustrating and infuriating game I’ve ever played and I can’t stop. Let me explain... I love this game concept but the developers design has only one objective and that is to generate as much money as possible through a recurring subscription with no concern for the users fun factor or fair gameplay. I hope you enjoy watching ads because you will spend a huge amount of time watching mostly 30 sec ads and I’ve even been forced to watch back to back ads... sigh. I give it a 2 star rating because it is graphically acceptable and has never hung up (never misses an ad). Such a pity to take a wonderful game concept with immense entertainment value and use it’s addictive factor for such heinous ends. It’s criminal IMO. Do not download this game. You’ve been warned...

Frustrated. This is a somewhat addictive game that would be so much more enjoyable if there was a way to replenish the “bonuses”. When the game first downloads, you have a small number of hints, descrambling of the board, and the ability to add additional time to a level. Once you use up the initial set, there is no obvious way to get more other than purchase. Most games have ads that allow a player to get the extras. An ironic point is that the settings has an option to shut off ads. I’m hoping this is a bug that will be fixed soon or I will not be playing much longer.

My go-to game. Even though there are many things not to like about this app, I still play it several hours a day. I can listen to a book and play or watch the news and play. I like playing the same layout for several days and try to get better. To do that, I reshuffle before I match the last two images. However, I can’t figure out the point system. The point values are often different even though only two images are left. I prefer layouts that don’t have a bomb and layouts that don’t shift when matching.

Onnect. Love the game, except when they introduce new sets. I would like to be able to choose from those too. Also it is too bad you took away the only way to earn the "change the type of set you are playing with icon" in the daily free ones. Hard to earn those now. Would like to be able to buy those individually. Also I would like to be able to choose which way the pieces fall, side to side, stationary, every direction or random etc. Thanks for a good game.
