Candy Crush Saga Game Reviews

Still crazy after all these years…. Just a quick note. Please monitor your ads better. I just wanted some extra moves but watched the same ad three times in a row. One minute each. 🥱😵🥴😧 Seriously? Let’s go back to 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Please… I think I’ve been playing this game since its inception. It used to be a lot more fun. I kind of wish you’d create another game, maybe “Candy Crush Classic” for those of us who really enjoyed playing it before all of the hard, very hard, super hard, and nightmarishly hard levels took the fun out of the game. Right now I’m in a land where 10 out of 15 levels are one of those ridiculously hard, use up all your boosters, levels. Maybe a choice of difficulty in the game. (Also, I enjoyed playing against my FRIENDS, not strangers.) One more thing - It seems that you have gone backward in your development department. We used to be able to play in both landscape and portrait mode. Could we have that choice back? I personally don’t care for portrait mode in this particular game. It is still available in the Soda Crush version. Just curious about it.

Can’t exit Credit Karma. I mostly like this game. I have played on both my iPad & my iPhone for 9 or 10 years. I have never purchased any of the boosters but win them through the various methods offered in the game. I do get aggravated when I get a free booster that lets me use it for a few minutes then when I watch an ad to get extra moves I get the ones for 30 seconds & sometimes all 3 are for 30 seconds. This uses up my booster time. I never listen to them & rarely watch them. My biggest complaint is with the Credit Karma ad. It’s short but it WILL NOT allow me to exit when the ad time has ended. It goes to the app store for me to click on the “Get” button. No way in “h….” I would get the app. When it goes to the app store I swipe out & click on the Candy Crush button on my homepage. I do this back & forth many, many times until I get fed up & opt out of trying to get extra moves. That causes me to not be able to get any extra moves. Please fix this or remove the ad for Credit Karma.

If you enjoy feeling cheated, this game is for you.. All the negative reviews that you see are true. They make no effort whatsoever trying to hide their deception, their cheating and their greed. Once you get to a certain point, you will not move on until they want you to. They will make it impossible without using boosters that you can pay for or using gold bars for extra moves. They know how long you’ll put up with it and you won’t be able to make a wrong move and you’ll beat a level you’ve been stuck on for weeks without even trying. It’s all an algorithm to extract as much money as possible from you. There will be times that you’ll use a color bomb candy and it won’t clear all the candies that are the color you chose to clear. The striped candy used to be oriented the way that you completed the 4 candy combo, now it’s whatever way they see fit (usually it’ll go the way you don’t want it to go). If you use boosters before the round starts, they will often times make it so that you must use it right away and it will do little to nothing to help you out, making it a complete waste. I can go on for days about the garbage baked into this game to make it absolutely infuriating. Do yourself a favor and stay far away, this game is 100% rigged. The reviews are true.

Gambling app now. Promised myself I’d leave a review warning others if it wouldn’t let me pass another level without trying to force me to buy boosters. It’s become apparent that over the last year that they have try to manipulate players to basically gamble. I will be deleting the app from my phone after this. I used to have so much fun playing this game it was a nice escape full of cool puzzles to solve. Had gotten into the 3,000s levels my first time downloading/playing and then deleted when I noticed it was making me spend $.99 frequently to purchase bars for lives. I gave it a good break and recently downloaded again current level 1,700+. It has gotten much much worse! It must track your spending and really not less you pass a really hard level unless you buy their bars or boosters because you’ve played that level 20x and can’t pass. With inflation price have gone up and they target you harder than ever now. They should reward you more often so you don’t have to purchase so many boosters, lives etc. They do have cool features and built a little community where you can give your “friends” lives, but doesn’t do much good if you are being made to purchase/gamble…not cool.

Way too frustrating.. I am on level 4000. What I have learned is that every game now takes several days to a week to win unless you pay. I am really, really sick of this. It hasn’t been fun for some time now. I rarely play anymore because of the constant frustration of levels with too few moves and it has become obvious that they intentionally mess with your game so you cannot win. It is not random. My husband and I both play. I originally signed him up from my account years ago and I have contacted Candy Crush about the differences in his game and mine. I was informed by an employee that they give different players different options and opportunities. He occasionally buys stuff, I do not. About a year ago I bought some power ups to see what would happen and the game became harder to win instantly. That and the constant, unending pop ups! Buy this, look at that, force you to look at some idiotic disapproving cartoon while you play, force you to participate in a race that drives home how you lost the race - Oh no! Hurry up and buy something so you can win!!!! I would buy the occasional power up if I found the game pleasant and fun. Since you are doing your best to force me to, I will not. I will continue to play when I need a distraction while I am waiting at an appointment but that’s about it.

Too Many Pop-Ups. I enjoy the actual game play, but for every level you play there’s about ten things popping up on your screen in between levels, reminding you about every event and deal and collaboration and whatever they have this week. Often times there’s 2 or 3 or 4 popping up before you have an actual chance to do anything with intent. It’s annoying and I really wish there was the ability to turn it off. This is especially with the Candy Royale thing they’re doing now- it would be cool, if it was actually optional to join rather than giving you no other buttons to push or way to avoid it, and if it didn’t pop up with a giant “You got kicked out” animation after every single time you don’t pass a level. It makes a game that’s marketed as a relaxing way to destress into something extremely frustrating. I enjoy playing, but if this stuff doesn’t change then I’ll stop. It’s not bad once or twice, but the fact that it’s constant is ruining the enjoyment I have, and the Royale animation takes a level that usually would feel like a tough but interesting challenge and makes it feel instead like failure after failure. Hoping they change things soon.

It’s fun, but....... Four stars for entertainment value. I enjoy the mental challenge of the harder levels, it is a stimulating way to pass the time. This game also can be infuriating at times, for two main reasons: 1) they are CONSTANTLY trying to get you to buy things, which are outrageously priced for any game in general, but most especially for a puzzle game. I know where the shop button is, if I want something I’ll buy it. 2) you only get 5 lives. Once you get to the much harder levels, it’s very easy to blow through five lives very fast. The problem here is that each life takes HALF AN HOUR to regenerate. C’mon guys, I don’t give a crap about your challenges, competitions, or other “features”. I just want to enjoy the puzzles, and I can’t even get started with five lives (takes about 10 minutes to play) before you ban me for three hours. Why there isn’t a “free play” option I do not know, but someone in the developing office needs to get on that one, STAT! The “buy $150 real dollars of gold for 6hrs of limitless lives” is absolute bullsh*t and is very much overcharging for something basically worthless.

Do not spend a penny on this game! It often breaks, never giving you any way to win. This game, which is fun to play, has a tendency to just stop dropping the necessary items one needs to win. Not out of anything the player does…it just stops working properly! There is even a section on the help about the game not dropping cherries, which are needed to win in later levels. Their advice…from the actual help page is this: If the cherry still didn't drop, our developers suggest restarting the level and play it again. Sometimes things can break or not work in the Kingdom. We'll do everything we can to fix the issue quickly, so you can get back to your game. The problem is, when you restart a level, you lose all of the streaks and items you worked so hard to earn, and often spent money on, to accumulate! You’re just out of luck! It’s like they are saying: We made a game, and you spend money on it, but sometimes we won’t hold up to our end of the bargain. Take my advice, and please know that I understand the game, and this isn’t just me being unable to win properly: Do not spend a single penny on this game. You will regret it eventually.

Glitch!!. I will have almost all full gold bars and it keeps wiping it out! This is the 3rd time it has done this!!!!!!! I have contacted the customer service and instead they send me stupid links that take me to other people’s comments on the game. It was a fun game for the first few levels but now it’s just a hungry money game. It purposely will make it so you quickly lose all your prizes. It will make it so you’re so close to winning that you might even be desperate enough to purchase those prizes to win (I don’t) and it makes you keep losing over and over again until you’re just so sick of it.. even the easy levels are impossible now. It’s nice to have hard levels mixed in, but now every level is impossible to beat on the first few tries. I usually end up losing all 5 lives even with using the stupid prizes that don’t work. Then when I log on again hours later the game seems almost too easy on that same level I was struggling with 🤔 this game is definitely made to stress people out until they fork out their money. Clearly it wipes out things like my gold bars to get me to be desperate and just purchase them. I get they want to make money.. nothing wrong with that, but at this point it’s ruining what could be a fun game 💁🏽‍♂️

Stuck on 223 way to hard why did u change it????. I am stuck on level 223 I’ve spent over 30 lives on this one level have wasted money trying to buy extra moves and candies to help me along the way the best I’ve gotten is the three jellies in the two top corners so I end with six. My level is different from my husband’s. He had to get a score within so much time my level is clear 81 jellies in 27 moves. It’s complete crap it does not let you get past it no matter what you buy or how you play. I’m to the point where I’m going to delete the app and no longer play because it’s a waste of time and complete crap. I have gotten on the support board and read comments other people are having the same problem I read what to do before contacting support followed their prompts and walked through everything they said it still doesn’t get me anywhere I have no way to email support as it takes me to the same page over and over again. You offer such a game and you don’t give us a way to email you that and it’s self is really messed up it’s clear by the reviews that several others feel the same way I do. Maybe you’re not even reading the reviews or the comments and listening to the people!!!!!

Linking Facebook account does NOT save progress across devices!. All of my progress from playing this game for YEARS (and spending a decent amount of $$) is now gone. I normally play on my iPad, but decided to play on my iPhone while away from home. I signed in with my Facebook account like I use on my iPad to play, and everything seemed to be fine. Later, when I went to play on my iPad, I was forced to sign in with my Facebook account which was strange. Normally the app recognizes that I am using my Facebook account to play. After I signed in, I was taken to Level 1, instead of where I left off when playing on my phone. I opened the app on my phone and was forced to sign in again with my Facebook account, and again I was taken to Level 1. All of my progress is GONE. I am so furious! Reaching out to their customer support team is useless. The email response I received was obviously from a bot or AI; the response was about a completely different issue than what I contacted them about. I'm deleting this app. Save yourself the hassle and don't bother downloading it. Between the Candy Royale game you can't opt out of, the impossible levels you can't pass unless you buy bars or boosters, tons of ads, and now the issue of losing your saved progress, this game is so not worth it.

Candy Crush: Encouraging Cavities and Poor Dental Hygiene One Level at a Time. My name is Karen Grant and my eight year old daughter Millicent has this game. She’s recently decided that she’s not going to brush or floss her teeth because “candy crush” taught her that it’s good to practice improper dental hygiene. I believe her exact words were, “But mom, ‘candy crush’ says that candy is better than brushing and I can eat as much candy as I want and never ever have to brush.” When I questioned her further, she told me that “candy crush” was a game on her iPhone eleven. I played a level in order to investigate further. “Candy crush” had nothing but cavity food on the screen, with not a single toothbrush in sight. The game kept saying things like “sweet” and “tasty” when I made a match and ended with something like “sugar rush”. These things are basically the equivalent of “candy is good for you”, “don’t floss,” and “dental hygiene doesn’t matter at all”. My daughter Millicent is also saying that she wants candy for dinner instead of “yucko” vegetables. Because of this game. Please update this game and change it to “veggie crush” so that my child, and every other child playing this game, doesn’t end up with cavities. 🥬🥬🥬

I hate that I love it.... I read the previous review that had a love-hate relationship with this game, and I completely agree. It is incredibly addicting, but it would be more fun to play if the app designers gave in a little bit and gave people more for their money (1) increase the total number of gold bars that you can buy in your piggy bank (30? Seriously?) without raising the price. It would be nice if you also earned gold bars after you completed so many levels on your first try instead of just boosters. And yes on the daily spin “jackpot!” Why put it on there if you are never going to win? I also think you shouldn’t lose a move when you use a booster - if I’m down to my last move and I’ve got two color bottoms on the game board, I should be able to use up the boosters before I lose my moves to see if that helps clear the board. So small changes would go a long way. People would still spend money on the app. I think people would spend more money if we were getting more things for free occasionally. But it’s crack, so that’s why I rated it four stars😉

Issues. Its a really fun and addicting game don’t get me wrong, but I have contacting the company of this app many times using contact us website, but they always clear it up saying “it doesn’t transfer to your ipad!!” Let me tell you my problem. I had candy crush on my phone. I had many boosters and extra lives. (50+ extra lives, 99+ candy bombs, 99+ pink donut things, 50+ striped + wrapped candy, and 300+ gold to be exact.) I played a lot so I can use these things whenever I want without having to worry that I’m low on boosters. But ever since I downloaded candy crush on my iPad, I lost all of it even on my phone which doesnt make sense! Ending up with 12 candy bombs, 11 wrapped+striped, 17 fish, 62 gold, and NO extra lives (they were so helpful when i didnt have wifi) I have wrote into their support many times, and they do reply me but they just don’t understand what happened, it’s just really frustrating spending a lot of time on this game and then losing almost everything all because I wanted a bigger screen to play candy crush on. And if you tell me to create an account, i did!! I have an account logged in with Apple and all of this still happened.

Pay to lose. Let’s start with me loving candy crush. I’m on level 1,933 I play almost every day. But, there’s so many things that are frustrating for users that want to continue to play the game. First, WHY CAN I ONLY USE 20 LIVES A DAY?!! please I just wanna know. I’m so miserable watching that long timer for a single life that’s gonna be used up in 2 minutes maybe less. Plus they’re lives that friends sent so they should be mine without limitation. Second, why do I never get the option to watch videos to earn boosts or lives? I literally get so sad because I’m watching my bf watch his videos to continue playing. Maybe it’s my fault for ever paying into the game. It hurts to rate this low on a game I enjoy but the fun is taken away with every little update they do. Way too many restrictions on users and almost forces them to buy boosters even though you still won’t win 😐 Update: currently level 2394 and unless you have the patience to continue failing till they seem like you’ve had enough don’t download the game. why does it take like 30 minutes per life like this is causing more stress. I’m not about to pay to win every time bc what’s the point? I understand challenging levels but like who’s gonna take out 94 jellies with 10 moves. It’s so unrealistic and not even fun to play anymore. My rate still stands and I don’t think it will change unless they make the game enjoyable again.

Ridiculously easy.. Ok, I remember first downloading this game 4 years ago as a way to kill some time when I worked as a home health aide while my patient would nap or sleep overnight. It wasn’t that easy, I even spent a few bucks on things to get past certain levels. After a while and a thousand levels, I deleted the app. That was 3 years ago. Fast forward to last week. I was sick with COVID and was going crazy having to quarantine and needed to kill time so after seeing a million commercials on cable I downloaded the app again. I got as far as level 317 before I deleted it again. At first it was fun, winning every level without running out of lives, barely losing any lives at all. Then the nightmarishly hard levels started showing and I figured I’d lose a lot of them, need to request lives from friends... when you can finish these levels with 20 moves to spare, it gets a little boring, honestly. Don’t get me wrong if I’m in an airport and need to kill a few hours, it would probably make time go by. Maybe it’s just me, but I like a challenge. Having a winning streak like the Harlem globetrotters just isn’t fun lol.

I miss when I could actually play the game. I first downloaded this game in July 2022 and loved it for months. I didn’t play it every day but really enjoyed it. Now however it’s become less and less enjoyable to play it — I barely even GET to play it. I’ve been stuck on lvl 687 for about a week. I don’t want to spend any more money on this game but I have no boosters or gold bars and this level is impossible to beat without them. The funny thing is it’s not even labeled as a hard level. It should be easy but the amount of moves I’m given is nowhere close to being enough for me to beat it. I’m so frustrated. I love this game when I can actually play it, but it’s clear the devs only care about receiving money. Another thing is I’m no longer given the option to watch ads when I run out of moves to help me beat the level. They used to give me it often, then at some point the ads would go black and I’d be given no extra moves, and now the option is completely gone. I shouldn’t struggle this much to pass a level that isn’t even considered “hard” in the game. It’s been like this for a while—taking days to pass a level just for the cycle to repeat itself. The game is fun, but I’m so tired of being stuck on the same levels for ages just because the devs are so desperate for money.

Limited And Makes You Spend Money! Doesn’t Take Stress Away!. Okay, if your friends told you, “Hey play this game! It will be fun!” Then they are right. But there is more to this game than meets the eye. For example, you lost a couple of levels and you are getting better and better. But you fail just one more level and suddenly, there is a little sign that says you have no more hearts left. You can’t actually play the game until they recharge. Also, it makes you spend money on gold bars so you can use this fake money to buy spinning wheel turns or lollipop hammers on a level that is particularly hard. It is a good game, but unless you’re willing to spend 7.99 on a special pack, every single time you play, this is not recommended by me. Lastly, I just have to say that this will not swipe your stress away. It actually creates more stress because you have 2 moves left and 14 jellies! Chocolate consuming the board. Okay go ahead. Get the game. I don’t care. I’m just warning you. ChikinNuget34 out

Don’t upgrade your phone!. Well since most cell phones are lease now, you are locked in to upgrade or pay for a lease that goes no where or buy your phone that you’ve paid on for 2 years... anyway... disappointed that when I did upgrade and I loaded phone from a back up, my bonus speckle ball, lollipops, wheels, etc that start at beginning of each game were all gone. I had saved 100’s of these to use on very hard levels. I’m at level 1002 and all my bonuses are gone. This is only candy crush game that it happened to. In candy crush soda and jelly, my game bonuses were saved. That’s very frustrating. If I didn’t love the game, I’d stop playing. It will definitely put a damper on playing the game. Second star deducted because that stupid gold bar bank... whoo, I get to purchase bars I earned... for $2.99! Wow, what a deal!!...NOT! And it constantly reminds me that it’s full and I need to purchase them. And full at 60... I’ve added way more than that to bank that isn’t even counted. I’ll purchase my 1000 bars that never gets accumulated for $3?? Get real... reset the bank or make it go away completely.

Waiting for cherries to fall “GLITCH”. Three or four different times on different levels I have watched the board clear multiple times and especially the row directly under the treat machine clear as well. No cherries ever dropped. So there goes my win streak. I beat every level on the first try “with boosters obviously” no $ ever have I spent on this “free” game. But time is money. Never the less. After loosing the level due to the ingredients not coming out, I closed the game and checked for an update. There was one. I installed the update. Re opened the game and continued. Low and behold the cherries dropped right away. And voila, back to the winning streak. I know this is just a stupid free game and in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. Especially to complain to an ear that doesn’t even care or want to do much accept keeping you hooked and hope you drop some $ on their addicting product which I will never do. So after writing this review I will reopen the game to continue and the level will drop the cherries and I will move on. Just venting to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. “CRUSH ON”

dum dum. This game is dumb, once you get in the 200 levels it all changes to make it so you have no chance at winning unless you use Gold that is impossible to earn to continue. all i can say it was fun till you realize it is just about buying wins ha. You can pass any level and they intentionally make it so you have to use pay for gold or massive earned credits of cookies fish and lolly pop hammers ect to advance. What a joke top it off with five lives that you never advance and sit on the same level till you collect your free stuff that still does not help when they only allow 1 move on the hard levels and it is rigged so it is not even luck, they intentionally make it so you have to purchase at the last few moves just to finish the levels. So dumb I can finsh level 325 anytime buy using 10 gold or 5 candy perks but i want to see how long or if even possible to advance on the rigged game with no add ons and it is just annoying at this point over three hundred tries with a max of three different moves to make! the game suks and just aggravates you while boasting about fun by kicking back and swiping ha! The whole pretending there is any skill involved is nonsense when most of the difficult levels only allow one move so you really have no choice, not even fun i will delete it now!

This game used to be fun. I have been a candy crush player since the game started. The game used to be fun to play and I’ve never felt pressured to NEED to spend money for boosters and lives to pass levels. It seems like now you absolutely cannot pass certain levels until you pay for some kind of booster then miraculously after purchasing the level allows you to pass without using the booster that was purchased. I have also noticed you need to purchase the extra moves to pass levels as well otherwise you’re stuck for days or weeks on the same level which eventually makes you not even want to play anymore because you don’t want to keep spending money. If i wanted to gamble I’ll play a gambling game. Overall i think i will stop playing this game again because now it’s pointless unless you wanna spend 100s on boosters and unlimited lives to pass to the next. ALSO LET ME ADD the current “SPRING CLIMB” is also rigged. I have logged on every day and every time i clock the flower it’s almost like it does it purposely on whichever one i click. Seems impossible to really come up on some boosters on that. So yea I’m coo on this game everybody out for money these days

Too frustrating now. I'm close to level 1000, and there are now way too many "hard levels" and "super hard levels". Even some "regular" levels are very hard to beat. I play this to relax, not to get frustrated. This game is only about 5% skill. The other 95% is the algorithm that controls the outcome, regardless of how clever you are. You will only finish a level when the algorithm decides to let you. I don't mind using power ups, even several per level, but only when I am within reasonable sight of success. When there is no hope of winning a level, I'm not going to use 15 or 20 - or more - power ups to win. It's quite ironic that the loading screen now says things like "relax and play candy" or "you are in control" when the game just brings frustration (not relaxation) and I know darn well that a computer is in control, not me or my skill. All of this is just making me play less and less, and I know there are many people who feel the same way. When King updates the game, their update notes in the App Store say "Coming back after a break? It's about time!" Why do they think people take a break in the first place? Because the game frustrates the crap out of them by being rigged!

Love this game…sometimes!. Candy Crush is a fun game to play…initially. It is easy to if learn and has great graphics. Early levels are easy to pass, and the steady flow of wins is what hooks us. But the level of difficulty increases quickly, time required to complete the levels can be absurdly long, and interest begins to lag. And of course these things are controlled by the game’s program. But by this time we’re hooked, and so play on. Some of the more generous rewards (that allow you to keep playing) are probably impossible to achieve unless you pay to play. For example, each level shows a string of boosters you can achieve if you complete 5 levels without failing. If you fail any level you have to go back to the beginning—not just complete that level and then continue on. I find myself looking for other games that are not as punitive as Candy Crush can be, and have been playing those more frequently instead.

Addicting but flawed. I have been a candy crush addict since it came out. It’s so relaxing. As addicting as the game is, the flaws are hard to look past. My biggest complaint is- if I level up when I am already at 5 lives(full), I feel like I should still get the 5 life reward for reaching a new level. Also- waiting 30 minutes for one life? I might be willing to buy boosters and other such things if it didn’t take so long to refill my lives. I paid the $2.99 for the piggy bank, thinking it was a one time purchase and then you can just have it, not the case. You want me to pay 3 real life dollars for an imaginary piggy bank for my imaginary gold bars every single time I fill it up? And not even warn me that it’s not a forever kind of buy? Rude. I don’t understand the contests at all. There are no explanations for them. I’ve been in the top 3 multiple times and it shows a treasure box next to my status but I never get any rewards. There are so many side contests going on that it all gets very cluttered on your home screen and I really don’t care to do the side contests but I have notifications for them that I can’t delete. Annoying!

Fascinating game. So easy and satisfying. Really meditative for me. I play this game obsessively for weeks or months every few years when life messes with my mind by giving me big personal problems I cannot face or solve and I need something I can do that’s almost mindless but really attractive, not too challenging but still mentally stimulating, requires some low level strategy, an occasional loss with no real consequences or disappointment, very positive and super cheerful. While I’m playing this game I start subconsciously digging into my real life problem and I work a lot of stuff out. Eventually I move on with my real life & set this game aside but I admit that I looooove this game and wish there was a documentary about its creation and the people at HQ. My one word of advice if you don’t want to get frustrated and feel like you have to pay for boosters is ALWAYS glance at the objective of the level in the upper right hand corner. Each objective requires different tactics & strategy and can be beat within a few tries once you figure those out.

It’s glitchy…. The past month or so, I’ve noticed a change in how the app operates. For one, anytime I go to claim a prize or spin the booster wheel, it takes a solid minute for the game to actually recognize I pressed the button before it actually does anything. It also has difficulty connecting to the store if you fail a level and the window appears showing you options to continue play. Second, when passing a level while playing Candy Royale, it ALWAYS boots me out even if I won the level. Always. I can’t seem to understand if it’s a very delayed reaction to failing a previous level or what, but I can pass a level and get the pop up telling me better luck next time. There are numerous times where the pressing a button simply doesn’t do anything- claiming a prize, starting a level, sometimes even actually playing the game. I know it’s not my phone or screen as I generally close the app and open something else and the screen responds just fine. I am not sure what’s happened in the background- maybe a switch in developers or something- but the gaming experience isn’t as enjoyable as it used to be.

This game stinks. I used to play daily and had been for years, I’m over level 7,000, so I’ve been through a lot with this app. It’s slowly getting worse every week. Their most recent thing is that the daily treat generator doesn’t pop up every day, so even though you’re playing, you can’t collect. Then, when it does pop up, it sets you back to zero because it doesn’t think you’ve played for three days. Either fix the glitch, or put it in the menu so we can manually open it. Toooooo many extra games that pop up and force you to acknowledge them. If you want to get on to play a quick game or two, you can’t, bc you have to sit and watch 25 different animations for their side games. Also STOP forcing us to pay candy royale! 😡 it’s been long enough, put the X back in the corner so we can opt out. The fish literally do nothing to help you anymore, if anything they hinder you by hitting a striped or wrapped candy next to a color bomb so then you can’t swap those two the next time for a big hit. I’ve been playing their competitor’s game more than this lately. I’m about done with CC all together.

Ads are ridiculous!!. What’s going on!! Are you not going to stop adding seconds to the ads!! You starting having the ads last either 15 or 30 seconds in order to earn something to help you pass a level! Then you starting raising it a couple seconds here and there. Then I noticed the John Mayer ad for Sirius XM was lasting 33 seconds!! Now today I noticed a new John Mayer Sirius XM ad and it lasts 36 seconds!! I have played this game for years but I am about ready to delete it!! This is getting old! You spend about 2 mins to try to clear a level and now I spend more time watching ads than playing the game!! I’m sure I am not the only one who has noticed this!! Keep it up and you will lose a lot of people who are sick of watching so many ads!! UPDATE: I have now removed Candy Crush!! After writing the review above, I went back to the game and the first ad that popped up was a new John Mayer ad that lasted 2 minutes and 1 second!! That did it!!! I removed the game!! It wasn’t good enough that you all became rich with this game you had to make even more money with all the ads!! So I’m sure as time goes on and you keep putting longer ads and more you will lose more players!!!! Next thing you know there won’t be a game!!!!!

HUGE RISE OF IN-GAME PURCHASE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS!. I’m a huge fan of Candy Crush. It’s my number 1, go-to, fun app. First, I should say, I do not indulge in most “in app” purchases for boosters or “lives”. If I cannot win a level, I will continue to play with what I’ve got. It’s just not satisfying to advance in a game solely from advantages I’ve purchased versus my own effort. That said, occasionally, I WILL treat myself to cashing out the “piggy bank” of gold bars in Candy Crush so I can buy more “lives”. The bank has always held 60 bars...$2.99 to cash out. That amount alone (assuming I had zero bars reserved to supplement this amount) was pretty reasonable considering I could purchase 5 “lives” for 12 bars. It really wasn’t a bad deal...not GREAT, but worth the occasional indulgence. A little over a month ago (possibly closer to 2 months), without a word, the “piggy bank” shrank down to 30 bars...cash out price STILL $2.99!!!! THEY LITERALLY DOUBLED THE PRICE OF THIS IN APP PURCHASE OUT OF NOWHERE! No gradual shift, straight up DOUBLED THE PRICE!! Are there bigger problems in the world than my Candy Crush budget frustrations? TOTALLY! But how shady is it to gouge a price like that OUT OF NOWHERE for a product I’m pretty loyal to and for which I’m reasonably reliable to provide some income? NO WAY, NO HOW, WILL I SPEND ANOTHER PENNY ON THIS APP UNDER THESE NEW CIRCUMSTANCES.

Biggest money grab of all time.. The pay to win in this game is insane. Surprisingly enough, King (developer) was purchased by Activision/Blizzard in 2016 for 5.9 BILLION dollars. Why would a game like this be worth 6 billion dollars you might ask? From a marketing strategy standpoint it’s genius, for the most part. These guys have made a fortune off of players, but it gets to a point where the game will legitimately force you to spend money or even keep you from winning prizes. I was in a tournament and was the only player left, in line to win 500 gold bars (a lot) and the game simply would not spawn the cherries that I needed to pass the level, despite clearing the whole row many times over. After I lost the level (after spending about 50+ gold bars on extensions) I went back and played it again, and beat it in a couple moves because both cherries spawned properly. They literally just stole money from me and I’m on level 2043. This is the last straw, there have been a lot of circumstances that were suspicious to say the least, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. They are thieves plain and simple. Do not get yourself into it because they will happily take your money.

Disappointed. The second time I will try to write the is review because the first time it kicked me out. Although I love the game, it’s evident it is setup to make a person spend money to win unreachable levels. I made it to level 756 and although I did contribute money to enjoy a game that I love on previous levels, I understand a business based on games is created with levels where it’s only possible to win by paying which is really lame. This game is like the lottery, you play to win, but know that you have to continue to contribute to almost impossible wins. Disappointed all in all and I now will be deleting!! Much success tho!! I would not recommend unless you have money to beat impossible stages. When you’re winning they want let you complete certain bonuses because only so many can be completed one day!! This game is set up on algorithms to see who spend and how to gain more money. Save your money and invest in something you can really see a benefit from in real time because this is really NOT IT!! Again much success and I hope you take these reviews into consideration and not some person being mad they can’t complete a level that is not setup to be competed without buying extras!!

Pay to pass. If you have extreme patients and don’t mind spending weeks playing the same level hoping they’ll finally let you pass this time, then this game is for you! If you like to actually progress through games in a responsible time line, I would not recommend! The game starts off easy enough. But eventually you start getting hit with levels that are next to impossible to beat without boosters. The first few are on the house and they’ll give them to you for free. But as the levels progress even harder, you’ll find yourself needing more boosters because “I was able to beat that one level with them!” But the catch is you done used your few free ones. If you want to get boosters now you have to PAY! And price is crazy high. $8 to buy 50 gold bars that’ll buy you just 1, and if you pick boosters that are cheaper, you can get 2 for $8! But the cheaper ones don’t work well enough to beat the game level and then you end up spending more to buy more to pass a level. I paid to beat 4 levels, and noticed a pattern and quickly deleted the game. So if you want to pay to pass, this is your game! If you wanna try and tough it out and spend weeks playing the same level, this is your game! But if you want to actually progress through a game without having to pay $8-$15 to beat a level, I do not recommend.

Not getting boosters. I get first place for the weekly race and receive boosters or win boosters in contests or daily spins but when I go and look they are never there. Been playing this game for years, since it first came out, and I don't think candy crush cares about their long time players any longer. I've deleted this app once and quit playing candy crush for around a year and just started playing again but I'm at the point of just deleting it once again. Some of the new levels are now totally impossible to beat without boosters, which I never even receive in the first place. Candy crush should listen to their long time players and take constructive criticism and amend this issue of boosters not being received and get rid of "nightmarishly hard levels". Who even wants to play those levels in the first place. Unfortunately, I truly feel like this game has become run by people who don't care about players anymore and only want to make money. Saddened to see that when money comes into the equation people get greedy...cheating players out of boosters...forcing hard levels...and in the end, the fun of the game is taken out and the game is ruined.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!. Many levels are impossible to pass unless you fork out money or wait days sometimes more for them to grace you with a workable board after dozens and dozens of tries on same level. How is that even fun? Relax and chill?!? Gimme a break. Not about strategy anymore, just about waiting for THEM to decide when you can pass a level! Then you’re forced to play and compete in certain competitions with no option to just play for yourself. Stuck on a level for days and they’re forcing me to join a bunch of races?!? VERY hard to get gold bars and boosters, so I never have any since they stole the 90 I saved up once. Poof, gone. That’s how they lure you into giving them money. Did you know they make almost a quarter million dollars A DAY from this game?!? Look it up! They rig the game with not enough moves to pass certain levels to try to force you to pay. I fell for that ONCE and that blew everything. No longer offered boosters or extra moves because I’m pegged as a sucker for paying ONCE. You’d think if you gave them any money that they’d value you as a player more, but no way. It’s a visually fun game and used to be cool but all it is anymore is WAY FRUSTRATING and super greedy. YUCK!!!🤮👎🏽🚫‼️

Big cheat . Do not watch videos or spend money. Updates in the past year have ruined this game. The dragons have been around forever. Are the developers that lazy . Ridiculous reductions in the number of moves allotted on the levels. Example level 114 in April of 2024 had 28 moves. As of a October 2024 moves are reduced to 19. No new truly intriguing plays. No new animations. The game has increased in difficulty. There are constant time wasting animations of making it on first try. I just want each new level to pop up after completion of previous one. I want to find a new fun matching game please. Repeated time wasting add a friend and special purchase screens are most annoying. Drop down banners obstruct view of goal . Time wasting obstructions. Lack of positive responses. There is no way I am purchasing anything when moves are so restricted and limited. Prime example level,100. Original available moves used to be 24. Moves now down to 18. I am not that gullable nor that addicted to this game. I play less and less. Got other things to do. Same old, same old. Just more heavily coated candies, heavily restricted screens, reductions in moves and therefore I give up and find other things to do.

Updates. I want to start by saying I’ve been playing this game for a long time and I’m a huge fan. With that being said I’ve reached out several times to complain about the update that gave us the backpack. In my game there is no way to get my boosters out of the backpack. I can be stuck on a level for literally weeks with tons of boosters in there that could help me that I can’t use. Even timed boosters that I win will just stay in there. Once I win the level they will all come pouring out. Is this a gimmick by the developer to get the player to purchase boosters? If so this is really awful and not a great way to market or keep players. I have reloaded the game several times thinking it’s some kind of glitch but it just stays the same. The boosters that I win go into the backpack when I click on them to get them out it prompts me to to click on the purchase button when I do it wants me to purchase this booster that I already have. Again not fair. How can you expect anyone to beat a Nightmarishly Hard Level with no boosters? I’m disappointed and frustrated. I may have to stop playing until the issue can be resolved. I can’t really advance in levels anyway.

Annoying features and more. When I start a new level with boosters from an event (especially with color bombs), the game "zaps" the boosters into existence. Here is where the problem starts. Because the color bomb (CB) was zapped onto a color (say, orange) if I use a color bomb, or put 2 oranges together (usually on accident) next to the CB, it detonates bc the game thinks its a CB AND an orange candy. This is extremely annoying bc the CBs detonate without me using them. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! PUT IT BACK TO THE OLD WAY WHERE THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE LEVEL WITHOUT THEM BEING "ZAPPED" INTO EXISTENCE! More annoying things: why did u make levels 223, 237, 252(my used-to-be fav), and more MOVES LEVELS!? Level 252 especially, where u could play infinitely bc time candies kept coming down, u shouldn't have changed it! Change it back! Don't "fix" things that aren't broken! Also, why do I need to look at AT LEAST 2 events before I go onto another level? Usually idc about the events. Can there be a way to turn this off? Lastly, why is there a piggy bank that COSTS $2.99 TO BUY? If I earn the gold from playing levels, I shouldn't have to buy them, especially for $2.99 EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP!!! That's what EARNING means! Please make it free, or at least lower the price.

DO NOT PLAY. Been playing this game for a while, now over level 6000 and I see so many high reviews and wonder if the reviews are fixed as well. 1st you will see tile’s you need to finish a level explode that should not have exploded and it usually happens when they are multiple explosions, they are hoping you will not notice. Another trick is they will give you the move to finish a level when you hit zero moves hoping you will spend gold bars/money to continue. It’s funny because I will have 5 moves left and 1 tile to clear and nothing will clear it. Then before I do the last turn I will laugh and ask my wife to watch and after my last turn is done sure enough a cherry Bomb will show up which will allow me to complete the level if I buy more turns. The dropped the gold bars from 60 to 30. They now have limited the free lives you can get per day and the total you can keep. The “play on” total use to go up to 35 but now it stays at 5. It use to be easy to send lives to friends now the button is gone. My profile went missing. So many problems and money grabs going on now time to move, you just lost an active player King congratulations!!!

Great game, but watch your pockets. I love Candy Crush! I hate how they nickel and dime you with the gold bars and power ups! One day it’s 60 bars to fill up then they drop that to 30 bars for the same price because people are willing to pay. I don’t think they care about anything but that bottom dollar. They need to add an extra step in the process when adding life or hours for life because one mistake and your done. Basically a “are you sure” button to make sure you want to make that transaction. This added feature could be helpful to do many I’m sure. Candy Crush gets over on many with this function. It is ridiculous how they keep going up on the prices of things. I recommend people stop spending so much money so they can drive these prices back to a more reasonable price. I am losing interest in. Candy Crush because I can’t afford to play at times and the prices Lee rising. I have spent a significant amount and don’t plan to spend anymore because I feel they are taking advantage of people.

Very disappointed!!. Seriously CC you increase how much gold coins cost?? You reduce the number of people who win contest and reduce the prizes, why? Why are the levels harder? Because you have increased the cost of gold coins and reduced the prizes, that tells me it’s all about the money and you have no respect or appreciation for your loyal users!! There are too many game options for you to risk losing your loyal users! Why would you do that to us?? :-( Done!! I love playing in the contest, that is what makes me keep playing versus switching to another game, unfortunately CC has made changes to their contest! Now only the person who comes in first wins a prize, oh and the prizes are a joke!! Really CC, these contest last 4 days and it takes a lot of effort and time just to place in the top 5 but you are only going to give 1st place a prize and even that prize is cheap!! How about instead of spending money on commercials you put that money into more winners and bigger rewards!! Other games make it worth your time to play them, on some of the bigger games even 20th place gets a reward but not on CC! Don’t waste your time playing, the rewards aren’t worth it! I for one am taking my money and playing other games that make it worth my time!! :-( VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS GAME!!

Never let your kids play this. This is used to be great, years ago it was about having fun and sometimes having to face some extra difficulties, now its all about frustration, it is literally impossible to finish so many levels, the algorithm is against you at will, it means that this is very far from being just luck and agility, its all about the algorithm providing with potential win, its fake from a to z, they have changed sounds from the original version to “disney like” sounds, think how would be our world and our kids if this was disney, nothing in this game is made for the pleasure just frustration and money or watching the same stupid adds over and over to solve impossible puzzles that only the algorithm get to decide if you pass or not. long story short, this games should be forbidden under 18 because it creates a poor society of consumerism where frustration can be solve by money. the worst… my kids have removed the game as well as every member of my family and it will be the same for anyone i know and care for his kids. Games are meant to provide fun and joy with sometimes some added difficulties that can always be solved, not to provide algorithm-frustration for money providers.

Downhill fast. I’ve been playing for years. I was one of the first people to play the game. I used to play so much I would run out of levels & I loved it but now. It’s been nothing but downhill. First of all it’s $1.99 for 10 bars of gold but everything’s more than 10 gold bars. Just getting a refill of lives is 12 gold bars. The boosters are 15 gold bars & up. So if you’re spending any money it’s upwards of atleast $5 just to get lives. Then if you do make a purchase it’s like because they know that you’re willing to spend money on the game they make it so you can’t pass levels without making purchases. I’ve been stuck on levels for days but soon as I make a purchase for lives or something else then I’ll get off the board. I just used the fish booster on a board with 26 moves I had 2 fish in the entire game! What’s the point of using my boosters if they don’t have any effect. The free spin to win moves for the next level is gone. The boosters for when you’ve won a board are horrible. Every change made to the game is to maximize the amount of money they can get you to spend. I’m so tired of the game I just want to delete it. This is why I stopped playing for 2-3 years & why I might just stop playing again.

Very addictive game, can be frustrating. I really like the game most of the time. I have been playing for a couple months and it can be addictive. Many of the levels are fun and you do need some strategies. But there is a major flaw to the game, and that is sometimes you and your gameplay don’t matter in it one bit. You will win or lose the level regardless of what you do. I have had levels when I made 1 or 2 simple moves and everything seems to blowup and I completed it. I didn’t even really look at the level yet and have 40 moves left. Other levels, I have played for 5 days straight with no possibility of success and then you just have to wait for lives. I have literally played all 5 lives with only 1 move possible and get nowhere to beating it. Doesn’t matter your strategy or skill, just bad luck...but for days. That is annoying. The other day, I had a puzzle I tried 50+ times over a couple days. I tried boosters, etc. Then the next morning I woke up, first try lucky move after lucky move and beat the level with several moves left. Kind of annoying. The computer could literally play without you.

False advertising. First I would like to say that initially when I downloaded this game it was great. Slowly it got harder not because I was at a higher level but because they wanted you to spend money. They made it almost impossible for you to continue without spending money. That being said, all of the ads and all the little clips of the game I saw, whether in the App Store or an ad some where, I have never seen those scenarios in the actual game. I downloaded the game because I love the things that I saw on those ads. This is not the only game/app that has false videos or ads, making it look way better than it actually is. I played this game FOR MONTHS,PROBABLY A YEAR, trying to get to a level that looked similar or even close to the advertising but nothing even close! Does it make “the powers that be” feel good about about themselves? Having to con/falsely advertise your product to get people to download? It comes off as many things, mainly that you don’t trust or believe in your products enough to show us the real thing, actual real game scenarios. I rarely leave negative reviews but like I said it’s happening all over but this app is one of the worst.

I give candy crush saga a 4 star. Candy crush saga is great and all except for a few things. Candy crush will freeze on you randomly and I don’t know about you but I hate it when things get frozen! I’ve had candy crush for maybe a year or two and it always will send me adds not for updates but for downloads even though I play it constantly! This one might not be a problem for you but for me it kind of is, candy crush saga will rate you make you feel like you have to play or your score will go down and trust me you don’t want your score to go down because it’s for the whole world to see! I know I’m using a lot of exclamation marks but it’s because its kinda stressful! One more thing profiles it’s so hard to change them and their really weird for example mine is a farmer…..I think and I’m a girl! So basically they just give you a random one that you normally don’t want at all another example is my little brothers, his profile is a panda that doesn’t even look cute. He hates his profile. Which is why I give candy crush saga 4 stars.

Don’t pay them money. It’ll ruin the game.. Similar to other reviews. I was having difficulty on a level (2307 i think). Stuck on it for days. Used all my free boosters, never passed the level to collect more, so I caved and bought a little $1.99 booster pack. Ever since then, i’m averaging maybe 1 level every 2 or 3 days (now on 2327, been stuck there for 3 or 4 days). Once you pay once, they take their bets on you paying again, so don’t do it. Every level takes days, and it’s so frustrating. Although I am slightly addicted to the game, I’ll muster up the will power to walk away cold turkey. Thus, after 10+ years playing the game off and on, I think I’m officially calling it quits at 2327 because the amount of stress and frustration is not worth my time and energy just to get dumb luck (although it seems pretty intentional when they want you to pass a level) or take just long enough where they try to lure you back in with a random streak of wins. Thanks Candy Crush for the years of puzzles and helping me pass the time in those boring moments, but you finally got what you wanted. I hope that $1.99 I spent on that booster pack was worth it! ✌️ Deleting the app right after posting this, btw.

Great game but consider some changes. I downloaded this game a few days ago after having off and on (deleting and redownloading. I noticed once u get pass the first level which is just a tutorial the difficulty levels sky rocketed fast and I was struggling getting past levels at level 10. It’s so frustrating when your confident in your ability to pass the level you’ve been struggling on and the game gives u bad switches and the actual game has to pause u to shuffle your board for below average switches and you end up having to use your moves on a switch that is not benefitting you in the level and usually end up dying. I think this happens more than you guys at your headquarters are aware for me it’s like very other level and it’s frustrating when u have two lives left and have to waste one because the game gives u bad switches. I think I would enjoy the game more if I didn’t have the stress of trying to preserve my lives. I definitely think that more lives for example 10 lives would be much better but I would really love if we could have unlimited lives to complete reduce that stress.

Dumbing us down. I enjoy this game a lot. Although it is obviously rigged so players might consider buying his/her way out of a game instead of being created so that its players become smarter. Personally, all games should cost 1price, 1x, and skills earn you special prizes. Why should a game creator get paid over and over for a game created years ago?! And how disgusting that this company's members earn money by setting up games so that a player chooses a cheat tool instead of choosing to improve their skills. Gross gross gross. Many rounds are designed to be impossible to win regardless of skill. Why are game companies not providing it's players with opportunities to get smarter? Instead players are being expected to be rich with a dumbed down brain. Hmmm...bad equation!! And furthermore, why can't I shut off the blinking suggestions? Especially since they are always the wrong choice! I'm almost done playing this game forever because the creators are dedicated to creating a stupid society.

idk how this game has 5 stars.. I’ve been playing candy crush for years. Currently on level 674. All the reviews i’ve read have one star and are completely true. I have yet to even find a positive review for this game. The app had an option to watch ads for boosters/additional moves/extra lives. I got stuck on one hard level and spent $1 to help me pass it. Now, almost every. single. level. has not enough moves to let any reasonable person accomplish the level. The option to watch ads to have a few more moves to pass the level or to get more lives is now completely gone as well and my only option is to spend money. I firmly believe that if I had not spent that $1 (showing them i would spend money to pass my level) the ad option would still be available to me. I have had to pay to pass my last 3-4 levels now and I will be deleting the game. This was my go-to relax and decompress game, but it’s become just a scam. Very sad to see you go Candy Crush. I hope you re-evaluate the game setup soon and place more value into the people who have loved and played your game for years. I would have rather purchased this game for $3.99 if it meant fair + fun playing.

Not impressed!!. I have played candy crush on and off for 5 years. Currently on level 1926, never had an issue with my progress transferring between iPad and new iPhones and Facebook until now. I deleted my Facebook account to start a new one and try to log into my new Facebook account with Candy Crush. It suddenly takes me back to level 1. So I have a freak out thinking my progress of level 1926 is gone forever until I log back into the kingdom and see it has taken me back to the proper level but it has wiped all my boosters (I know I had 90 freckles NOW I HAVE NONE). So I can’t log in to my new Facebook account unless I want to repeat 5 years of hard work and I have had all my boosters wiped from my game. I’m not impressed at all! I want this issue rectified!

Money hungry greedy owners. I’ve been playing this for years and as time progresses the more and more the owners are getting more money greedy and are changing things about their game for their profit. Golden bars are what you use to buy free lives or to buy “cheats”. You get golden bars by paying for them or winning them. You use to be able to buy them much cheaper (and the price seems to keep going up), and win them (through successfully completing a level). It is seeming to get harder and harder to win golden bars. In addition, now the owners of the game have taken away the free spin function at the end of a lost game, which would give you a second chance at the lost game (to try and win gold bars quicker), or would win you cheats. Now that’s gone. It’s obvious they keep making changes to make more money and it’s really starting to make me hate playing. It’s just greedy, as if they don’t make enough money off people as is. I refuse to buy bars anymore because they are way over priced and you don’t get much for what pay for anymore anyways. Really going down hill candy crush, and you’re about to lose loyal customers because of your greedy antics!

Not enjoyable to play anymore. 😕. 17 moves to remove 338 jelly?? What a joke. That’s after you have to break through multiple layers of ice, jellyfish and god knows what else to even get to the jelly squares. So with each move you need to clear somewhere between 20-30 squares which is impossible. Takes 5 minutes to use your 5 lives and you know you’re not going to be able to complete the lvl to start with and you just have to wait for the algorithm to let you level up after 2-3 days. That’s on a supposedly easy level and then if you eventually pass it says you just passed a nasty level! Why have any pink lvls when they are harder than the nightmare ones?? Also makes it impossible to win any of the competitions so they’re pointless too. If you come 2nd you get one miserable freckle! Just not enjoyable to play anymore. I’m out too.

Princess. I do like this game except when you have been stuck on a level for weeks and you get it and then can't play for 72 hours. I enjoy the challenge when I get out of a tough level. Everyone I know plays it too. I'm not happy at the moment playing level 350. It is almost impossible to get out of it. I have been stuck on it for months and getting really frustrated, then if I ever get out of it I won't be able to play for 71 hours and that always happens on a weekend. I need to get out of this level. The moves seem to be able to change when you nearly get out of it

Not what it used to be. Candy Crush Saga once had the title of the most downloaded and played game on mobile. Now it is a shadow of its former self. When you open the game, it can take anywhere between 4 to 10 clicks to get past all the “Fantastic Deals” and “Special Offers” they come up that are the exact same. Constant challenges to beat your “friends” that now cannot be skipped. And the strongest “pay to win” feeling and difficulties on any mobile game I have ever played. You can be stuck on a level for 2-3 weeks because you cannot pass within the moves allocated forcing you to pay for more. Sorry but I am deleting the app. What was once enjoyable, now is a frustrating, embarrassing, anger-inducing, money grab fest.

Normally 5 stars, now 2. I love this game, have been playing it forever and now I am on leven 9140. I play this game because it’s relaxing. Lately not so much. This is why: 1. The game has changed to only portrait mode. Why?? I like playing it on my iPad in landscape. I can no longer do this. I absolutely hate it. Please bring back landscape mode. 2. There are hardly any ‘give away’ levels left. I always liked it that you have a couple of easy (give away) levels and then a difficult one, then maybe another easy, then a really difficult one, and so on. EVERY level is now hard. I consider myself a good player (I passed level 9000 after all) but I am now quite often stuck on one level for a long time which makes it boring and well, not relaxing. Now if this would happen now and then, that’s fine, but it happens all the time. Just mèh. 3. What’s the deal with this weekly race? It’s a fun way to get boosters but why am I competing against people who are on level 4000? Clearly it was much easier then so, hmmmm, not really an even race. I doubt that anyone reads this, or that I will get a reaction from the makers, but you never know. If anything can come out of this, let it be that landscape mode is brought back.

It's good but the laggy-ness isn't. To be honest I am a mediocre player, I am currently on level 1419 (with no cheats). There are times were it is frustratingly challenging and I could be stuck for like a day, but that's what's good. Here's the bad things: they need to work on the laggy ness and glitches. My game from time to time keeps crashing and it won't work every time I try to go into CS. Also sometimes when I complete a levels due to it crashing it doesn't save it and it's infuriating. The animation needs to be worked on, because on my device you can see the individual frames and it's quite slow, which my game runs slowly and glitchy as well. I hope they fix this and maybe I will consider a 5 star rating.

Candy Royale. Hi, love playing your game for some unwind time. One problem that really annoys me is your maths on Candy Royale. It isn’t accurate. When the coins are allocated at the end it isn’t correct. I can be one of 10 people in the second last game and it will remain the same on the last game but it is calculates that I am one of 11 not 10 and I get 46 coins. Your function is incorrect in how it works. It adds you onto the the last number standing instead of including you in the last number standing. Sorry numbers are what I do and it is annoying. Love the game otherwise aside from glitches and errors

STOP WITH THE UPSELL. I used to love this game. Now every 2 seconds it’s trying to make you buy something. It’s impossible to complete half the levels without spending money so isn’t enjoyable at all. I’ve seen other reviews like this and it disappoints me that they’d rather profit over positive experiences. To get the power ups you need for nearly every level you have to wait until the next day so you end up only completing 1 or 2 levels a day and becomes useless. Really disappointing as this use to be my favourite game. Please stop with the constant pop ups. I feel like as soon as you decline an offer it tries to upsell again and again to the point where I am close to deleting the game. I completely understand that as a free app you have to make money but it shouldn’t be at the expense of what makes the game enjoyable. All I can say is LISTEN TO YOUR CONSUMERS.

Candy Crush Saga. I have been playing Candy Crush Saga for around 11 years and loving it. During those years have been collecting and saving up Inventory for all those years. I was nearing 3000 Candy Bombs and close to 2000 on others and a all round good cache of Inventory. Basically I had a very large store of Inventory until approx a month ago when I was given a prompt to save and all my Inventory disappeared!!!! All the lives I had been given by friends were still there and all my gold bars, just no Inventory!! Can’t begin to tell you how p/:^*d off I am!! Hoping someone can rectify!!!! Will give 5 stars for sure if problem is fixed!!

Room for improvement. As an iPhone X user, the screen is still not optimised and the large black bezels can seem to get in the way of a good play. User’s shouldn’t have to wait for more lives to play again, and the hard levels do not have enough moves to complete the level without running out within a few minutes. This becomes frustrating and often makes the game less enjoyable. User’s also should have access to all hole made in each level to buy more moves and power-ups without having to wait, once again. Apart from this, when the levels are achievable, this game is fun and provides good entertainment as a whole.

It’s a good game but.... Candy crush is a good game I mean it’s interesting and it makes for a good time killer. The only problem I have with it, is when the candies highlight when playing a level. I find it’s very frustrating because maybe I don’t want to move the candies where it’s highlighting and when I look for other spots the highlighting candies just make me distracted from choosing my moves at my own pace. It’s quite annoying. I think there should be button or something in the next update where people can decide to turn whether they want the candies highlighted on or off. It would be nice and make the game more enjoyable.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD 🤬😡. I wanted to get this game when I did I was happy…UNTILL NOW all the makers of this game want is money they make you loose the game Im on lev 1987 no matter how hard I try to win I cant I loose every time and if I leave for let’s say 2 days you win 5 times in a row I asked my mum not even she can to it and shes amazing at it they MAKE you bye stuff from the shop and the price is ridiculous so when I bought my OWN CREDIT CARD and bought something from the shop then I win 5 in a row I found this out way before I made it to that level these selfish money hogs need to get it in there heads that there being selfish and greedy don’t bye this game unless you want to spend a fortune of money greedy hogs if I could I give it 0 stars hon and today my level reset to lev 1 so get that fixed deleting the game so should you hopefully this game will be taken down from the App Store i don’t normally complain about games but this is just to far candy crush hope your happy with yourself you selfish money hoarders #delete this game u should be ashamed of yourselfs

Candy Crush - new update. Since updating Candy Crush there’s no landscape position to play it on . Now if you want to play it , it’s a vertical upright position . I’ve had c/crush since it came out so now why change it . Landscape was the best to use and hold it . It’s so hard to play for me this way . It’s hard on the eyes to play for me . Can you please correct it when you do the new update. I’m sure there will a lot of players who miss it and want the original landscape style back to stay . I have such a high score but I feel the need not to play. I would play it every single day . At least my iPhone & other iPads still have landscape but there score levels are much lower so I won’t update them. Can you please please please return this amazing game back to its original format please on the next update. If I’d known this would happen I wouldn’t have updated it . Please can you return it back to landscape position to hold the game .

Rigged and riddled with micro-transactions. I’ve been stuck on a level for so long now because I get down to like 4 moves but have 8 chocolates to smash but each move doesn’t generate a chocolate, so it’s impossible to get the chocolates with the amount of moves I have left. Even if I get some more moves the chocolate might not appear even after 2 or more moves. Can you make it so chocolate is generated each move? It seems so intentional to try and trick you into spending real world money which is shady and cheap. This game used to be so fun but it’s riddled with micro transactions. Also, why does the colour bomb go off even if you don’t move it? It’s so frustrating especially if you’ve lined the colour bomb up to a striped candy or a wrapped and it triggers randomly before you can even touch it. I don’t understand why make it so frustrating and hard to play for players?

ISSUES RUINING THE GAME!. I enjoy the game but there’s a lot of issues that really annoy me. Here’s a few : 1) The game crashing for no reason causing you to lose your progress and win streak (especially when almost finishing a hard level) and also just resetting itself if I change to another App and come back. Funnily enough I’ve noticed it happens when about to pass a hard level and have +5 win streak. 2) when wining good bonuses on the “spring climb” a lot of the time I progress through (and spend gold so I don’t lose it if caught) and don’t get the time limit it just won. For example (and this happened to me yesterday) I win ‘2 hours’ on the colour bomb, to then go and play and it’s says I only have 30mins left. It happens a lot of the time. 3) inconsistency with being able to watch ads for rewards or extra life. There’s no pattern to when you can use it. The options there one level and gone the next. Or just not there at all. I don’t know if it’s meant to but very annoying when you want to use it and don’t have the choice. 4) Watching ads for rewards (when it actually appears) to then not receive anything after watching.

Disgustingly rigged to try make you spend money on the game.. So obvious how disgustingly rigged the game is. Just finish short of one convenient jelly where you can purchase a lollipop to get you over the line or coincidentally one more move and you would of passed the level so you purchase bars to play on. Then you are using all your lives and basically give up for a couple of days and then come back and you pass the level with more than half the moves left with freckle candies just popping up everywhere so basically it eventually gives it to you so you dont get bored and continue playing the game. What a disgusting format the makers of this game are absolute pigs and all the people who coordinate this are absolute money hungry dogs. Its literally like playing the pokies. This game is causing anxiety and stress in individuals and just overall mental health problems.

Not impressed!. After being on level 1391 for months, I finally gave in and made a purchase to help me overcome the level. I finally finished it after spending more money than I would have liked and once I finished I closed the game down to go about my day. I have since opened the game up and it has taken me back to said level and is making me repeat it for some godforsaken reason. I’m not usually one to complain but you need to fix this from happening. It has happened to me before but this has just really irritated me seeing as though I paid money. I know i finished he level as it showed up with the stars and all the usual rigmarole that occurs after you finish a level. Is there any way this can be rectified?? I have absolutely no interest being stuck on this level again and doubt I’ll continue playing. Any suggestions as to why this has happened??

Money hungry with sneaky tactics. Guys. After paying for something ONE TIME, all ads for boosters or free moves completely went away. I figure you want to force people down a pipeline of paying continuously, but it won’t work on everyone. Now even “hard” levels are significantly harder, like worse than “nightmarish” difficulty. And don’t come back with that “ads are experimental and we sometimes remove people from this feature” reply you give in the king forums, the timing is so suspicious and this has happened with multiple people. We’re not that foolish as to believe that. Please stop this underhanded practice.

Need to improve on a few things. I have been playing candy crush for ages and enjoy playing but to keep players wanting to keep playing a few improvements could be made. Like - when you get your free bonus spin each day I have never got the jackpot bonus. You can’t tell me this is not controlled??!! Also, when you get five extra bonus turns when you reach that it does not add on to the amount of turns you have left. You may have just finished a level and still have 5 left and receive the added bonus but it doesn’t take the amount of turns to 10 it stays at 5. Have also noticed that if you want to purchase golds bars you have put up the price. Hopefully some, if not all can be fixed.

Enjoyable game. I find the game itself entertaining and have been playing since it first kicked off many years ago. My issue with it these days is all the buttons you have to press just to start a game. I wanted to play a few quick rounds today, and before I could even start the first one, I needed to press FOURTEEN buttons (all game-related—join this comp, buy that, free whatever), then eight buttons before the next one, and six before my third game. I stopped playing after that because it became so annoying. It used to be that you had a few minutes to fill in, you clicked on play, and you started playing. Now there are all these hoops to jump through, and that’s what ends up filling those few minutes of time.

Bugs galore. I love this game. It is immersive, highly escapist, involves no money or greed. Pure simple old-fashioned fun! But the bugs! When I select to watch an ad to get added game time I get several bugs/glitches. The screen goes black, no ad plays so I get no reward. The most common annoying bug is that I am forced to download some stupid game I do not want. It just freezes! Even when I follow the lead to download the unwanted game, play the new game, I still can not get back to Candy! The last and most major bug is it takes 3-6 attempts to get Candy to play first thing each day. I press the buttons but they are non-responsive. I suspect the game is too multi-media laden for some older gen iPads like mine. Surely you can reduce the graphics and multimedia a little to allow the game to play well across all platforms and media devices. That is make the game truly device agnostic. This is such a great game, one I would give 5 stars if it worked my smoothly when I try to play it on my 2nd Gen Mini iPad.

Don’t play fair. I like playing CC but when you watch ads for extra goes it can be a scam especially when the game recognises you will win and move forward instead of getting the extra turn the screen goes black and you have to close it down to get to play again there goes the extra turn you have already watched an ad for and any extra turns you could have claimed plus your game you were playing. This has happened so many times I deleted the game and it was only because I went on holiday I installed it again but this is becoming so annoying I’m seriously considering deleting it again. Truely fix your glitches it is really taking away any enjoyment in playing.

The love of my life. Candy crush is my life, I can’t go a maximum of an hour without checking in and swiping away. My fingers don’t work anymore, all they want to do is swipe, everything I see jumbles into patterns and I have to get three, four or five in a row to go about my day. Candy crush is ruining my life, I can’t go outside anymore, people keep calling me crazy but they don’t know what’s really going on. I’m currently on level 3068 and I have been stuck on it for months, I keep changing the time and date in my settings to get free lives but now it’s making me wait 9,825,741 minutes!! PLEASE SEND ME LIVES!

Angry - beware of thieving scammers!!. Don’t play this game unless you want to spend a substantial amount of your hard earned money. This game is incredibly addictive. Initially they make it easy to win in the levels up to around the first 1000 by then your actually brainwashed. then you need to dig deep for your hard earned cash only to have the game constantly crash at a vital point of the game loosing lives and boosters. Some of the levels are ridiculously stupid like getting yellow candy or chocolate blocks without enough moves to have even a chance therefore requiring the purchase of more lives and boosters. So you purchase and get ahead and bang the game crashes. Do yourself a favour don’t get it!! This company and the like are nothing but thieves.

Crashes often. You play, work hard and even pay to get bonuses and then just randomly the game crashes and you lose everything. There has been multiple times where I have paid for packs and the game will crash and I lose the things I’ve paid for. Your streaks then get lost and you have to try build yourself back up to your streak, losing all the bonuses they give you with the streaks. I’ve won multiple levels but then the game will crash and I have to redo the level. Only pay money to the game if you’re okay with the chance of losing the things you’ve paid for.

Candy. Candy crush is an amazing game it gets all of your worries to float away into nothingness when your bored you can play this game soon you’ll be excited in now time it’s great for all ages over the age limit even if your 98 you can enjoy it I personally go straight to candy crush when I can’t go to sleep you shall definitely download candy crush for the time of your life my nana plays it but she’s finished all the levels in only up to my 100s I need her to help me sometimes it also keeps you entertained when stuck at home during covid19

Bugs / update needed. Levels such as 4639 are flawed. Why have booster when you can’t play them. Why have space bot and earn top reward when you lose that ability because of levels like this. Biggest flaw is you can not move candies from under a crystal. Even though your own hint is showing this should be possible therefore you don’t get auto shuffle. Seriously surely someone should be checking this. You earn millions a day and then you have simple flaws like this. Really disappointed and I am on the verge of deleting! Also timed rewards is a con. Especially as you have to wait so long for lives to replenish. Watch! I will not be spending one single cent on your game. Will go on other games! Poor very poor.. remember who makes you all this money.. don’t bite the hand that feeds you!

Goodbye candy crush. Games come and go but this one has stayed because it’s graphics are beautiful, it’s variety on each level is new and it’s a fun and easy game to play….however, I’m at level 236 and for the life of me I have tried every which way to pass but after 20 try’s there doesn’t seem to be ANY combinations of moves to pass UNLESS you pay money which I haven’t done but I’m thinking it’s the only way to pass this level. I feel sad as I write this review because I’m going to have to delete this game that has seen the test of time over the last 10 years simply because I’m being manipulated into coughing up money to continue playing. King…get it into your thick head that there are copies of candy crush and they are pretty much the same so your upset fans will just move across to your competition. Candy crush has just become a version of the pokies manipulating addictive personality’s into spending money they don’t have on useless ‘extra moves’ or ‘additional lives’. Sad…..

Hate the new view on my iPad. I have been playing candy crush since it came out and in the latest release two things are very annoying … 1 the fact it only appears in portrait on the iPad so I can’t use my iPad stand when I’m playing. 2. The challenge you don’t get a choice anymore as the cancel X has been removed so you basically know you won’t win that game and if you are lucky enough to pass that level you won’t pass the next one. I’m serious thinking of quitting playing candy crush ☹️

My addiction. It such a pain that I have to wait forever to get new levels coming after I finished my level 5825.. and when new levels finally available still I can’t join the competition because I had to wait for another “new levels coming soon” after probably finished only 10/15 levels not sure. So dear candy crush team, would you guys please fix my problem of the “too long waiting for the new levels?” Thanks so much in advance y’all!! Since I love this game too much not to play for a sec, specially on the weekend! 😣😭🤪🤣😍♥️♥️

Love. I love love love this game.. have been playing for like 10years!! But one thing that really annoys me is when you are awarded 5 free lives for reaching a ‘milestone’ they are added to you tally there and then - and if you already have more than one life you still only get a total of 5 instead of potentially 9 or 10… also would be great if you could use them when it suited but it’s not a reward when you already have 4 or 5 lives - it’s just a waste… would also be great if the bonus 30mins or 1hr boosters could be used when you choose not just at the time of being rewarded.. thanks for making candy crush great!

One Thing. I was playing one level and I noticed that I only had 4 chocolate blocks left to go So I counted them to see where they and where I needed to strike but I could only find one and this is because I only had ONE, it is so annoying I had to use my number of swipes so that I could get chocolate blocks but I couldn’t complete because I ran out of swipes. In conclusion I had to use my swipes to create chocolate blocks so that I could complete my level but I couldn’t because I used them all up from either creating blocks or getting rid blocks. It hasn’t just happened once it has happened 3 times that is why I am writing the first time I was annoyed but I didn't mind but 3 TIMES !!!!!!!!! Please do something about it.

Rip off. I’ve been playing for a while on and off and recently got back into it. I now remember why I left. The boosters that you win are often not actually given or accrued on your account. I won a coconut wheel on the spinning wheel the other day and when I went to use it it was there in my inventory but when I click on it I have to pay 9 gold bars to use it? Everything is so stingy, there’s rarely extra gold or lives which would actually be useful. Only boosters that magically fail to show up after you’ve won them. I get the hard levels are to keep it challenging but they are so impossible it ruins the fun of just playing through levels. It’s too start-stop to be enjoyable. Your sit back and relax slogan only applies to those who are buying your booster packs every time they fail a level. I thought I’d purchase the season pass to at least persevere because of the things that were advertised to come with it. I expected immediate infinity lives for 15 minutes only to find that is one of the things you can get after passing more levels. So your advertising around that was misleading as well.

Kathie. I totally agree with Goldenmonkey24 about the latest change King have made to CandyCrush Saga. I too have spent a lot of money to keep getting through the latest levels and made a big effort to collect boosters to help me along. Then you change them to timed ones which are useless to me. I put up with baby playing morn8ng and night to get the few that I can save for when I need them. Then you take away my ability to restart a game to give me a better starting position so I can get through it. Not fair to take away a booster and a life just because I want to reset it. Now I am about to delete the game and never play again. I’ve wasted enough money and time. It’s not fun anymore. It seems the better I get at it you make it deliberately harder and harder to make me spend more money.

Black screen. I really enjoy ‘checking out’ for a short while, kick back & spend some time on cc.. For the past few weeks I have had a problem with the app! At least 3 or 4 times (and right now) my game freezes and the screen goes black! I try logging out, turning the phn off (seemed to work once) but what ever I try doesn’t work and now it’s been black for almost 3 days I have read thru comments & it looks like I am not the only one this is happening to. I can’t seem to find any answers.. Any advice would be appreciated, I wanna play!

ABSOLUTE DISGRASE!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡. 1 - Glitches: I complete a level and then have to watch an ad, after the ads finished the screen goes black and I have to re-try the app. And when I get back into the game it says I have to redo the level!! This goes on for another seven or eight times and when the game finally decides it wants to work I barely earn anything when I finish the level because I’ve had to do it so many times. 2 - ads: Like so many other people have said… There’s a difference between ads and an insane amount of ads! not only do you have to watch an ad every five minutes but you also have to watch an ad after every game. It affects gameplay and I can barely ever enjoy the game!! 3 - Effort put into gameplay: Like any other connect game usually get a big bang or an explosion when you set off any of the extra adhesives like bombs or rockets or rainbows but in this game it’s just a tiny little pop. let alone if it glitches then it doesn’t blow up the right amount of candy. 4 - Prizes and rewards: Just yesterday, I earned two hours infinity of rainbows, then I logged off to go to the bathroom I came back and it said I had 30 minutes left seriously this game is a rip off do not get it. 5 - Other reviews: All the other of you say just about the same things but not in such a long context. Too much ads, too many glitches, not cool enough, not enough prizes, we all hear the same thing and it’s always from this game do not get Candy Crush Saga!!!!!!!

Took away all of my progress and gold (970 levels). Tried to make an account cus I got an iPad to play candy crush on because I loved the game so much and then when I tried to make an account to save my progress you guys deleted all of my progress in bars, friends, powerups etc. anything other than the levels making it vertually impossible to progress any further as the game is not built for you to have nothing on that level 😔 it WAS my favourite game now all I feel is despair and regret whenever I play 👎👎👎 it was truly a source of happiness that has been taken away from me as punishment for investing in the game. I am well and truly disappointed in the game and their support system as I could not find any help. Please give me my joy back. This is a cry for help.

Unethical money making tactics. Before even reading the reviews here I deleted the game at level 150 because I refuse to spend money. Sole reason being their tactics, which is to simply frustrate you by sabotaging and making it impossible to win unless you spend money. As many other reviews have pointed out too - most times you will lose no matter how well you were playing, and after a considerable number of attempts or time you will simply win effortlessly with a dozen more steps to spare. The candy dispensing is not random. Example - goal is to pop 30 black candy. But I can’t possibly win if they don’t dispense ANY black candy, can I? Blew up several rows of candy but ZERO black candy appeared. Then when I only have 2 moves remaining, it rains black candy. Go figure. Oh, and candy can explode for no apparent reason just to ruin your set up just when you line up your “power candies” for a winning move. Other tactics to trick money spending include: > purchase button positioning > fake “races” to earn gold bars > “Events” where when you win gives you the opportunity to spend money. > Etc etc. They indirectly gave me the ultimatum of either spending money or delete the game. Deleting the game felt better than winning the level :)

Best candy game of all😃. I love Candy Crush sooo much. I played on the tablet at home, then I got this: my i-pod. I got candy crush a week after my birthday. My birthday is on the fifth of June and I got my i-pod on the third of June(the i-pod was an early birthday present) and I have been playing Candy Crush ever since then. Well. Almost. When I got to level 94 it got really hard and stoped playing for 2 or 3 months. Then I started playing again and I won! I got heaps of really good boosters from my winnings and one time I got the last booster bot and kept it for 10 levels! All I’m saying is play this game and when a level gets really hard just keep on trying otherwise you will be crushed just like the chocolate.😼

Great but some suggestions. This game is amazing! It lets you practice your mind with extraordinary games from very easy to super hard. I love how when you get to 5 moves the characters from the game look worried. I love candy crush but have some problems. 1. I don’t like it in the game where you have to beat 10 or 12 levels in a row to win the gold bars.2. It’s kinda hard to get the gold bars. 3. when you want to get an extra booster can you consider using gold bars? 4. Can you make the legendary level easier? Its a little bit too hard . I look forward to the new updates!

Latest update made levels disappear. As a loyal game player of candy crush for many years now I have enjoyed many hours of playing and enjoyed every new twist an update has brought to the game. But the most previous update once I had downloaded it I went in to candy crush to play and discovered that I was no longer level 1078 like I was only minutes prior but pushed down to level 544. I am very upset about this inconvenience and although not connected to a Facebook as the game should automatically be kept within the app. I would appreciate it a lot if the game developers or whoever has the power could get into contact and help me fix this situation weather I be given my levels back on the Facebook version so I can transfer it back to my app on my phone or if the levels can be restored on my phone. Thank you.

A few bugs. On the beanstalk climb, when I win 2 prizes it only gives me one, 3 prizes it only gives two and if I take the first prize, I get zero. Also, the sweet cinema is saying play, but the you can’t and then when you try later, even though it doesn’t say play - it actually works that time. A suggestion: it would be much nicer, if when clearing the last piece of pie, that either: The freckles, striped candy or packets (or any other feature) actually “went off” or they stayed for after the grid is cleared. Thanks for helping take the sting out of Covid.

Too difficult to play, frustrated and no fun. I thought it is the candy crush game I played few years ago, but I was wrong , I actually played candy crush jelly where I got level 2000 and still not feel it is extremely hard, whereas this saga, I am only on level 400 but already feel mission impossible to complete the task (only 16 moves to get rid of over 150 obstacles ), maybe it is designed for you to pay so that you need to spend lots of money just to complete the game, if you don’t pay, with just free 5 chance, you die within 10 minutes with frustration at this level, no fun if the game is designed so hard to complete

Slightly dissatisfied with regular glitch. I have been an avid Candy Crush played for years, it’s always been a great pasttime. Although I don’t agree with the money making tactics, I understand capitalism. However, my biggest issue with the game, is the glitch I find quite often. I’ll be playing and winning many levels in a row, with all the treats that come along with such a feat. Until at some moment when I’m about to finish a level which I was able to greatly enjoy due to the added bonuses of the streak I hold. When suddenly, the screen goes black and my phone exits the app. Now, this only happens when I have a very high streak, and has never happened to any other app. So, I am left to assume it is a Candy Crush glitch. This game which holds so many years of joy, has lost a lot of the excitement due to this regular occurrence.

Gone downhill - please fix. I’ve spent several hundreds over the years playing this game getting to the high 4000’s- I find it relaxing - or I used to until they changed it so that you lose a life when you reset the board. Given that some levels are so difficult that resetting the board until you get your boosters where you want them is absolutely necessary, this is just an unconscionable cash grab. Why not be inventive (like you used to be, King) adding value for players to purchase rather than just removing what you had already given. One of the reasons I’ve never spent anything on Candy Soda (although I still play it) is the inability to reset the board. It makes the game slow and frustrating and is a disincentive to buy extras. Contrast with my spending where you could reset the board, make some progress, feel good about playing, keep playing, keep spending. Get the picture King? I’ve often thought about quitting when things got a bit hard - but kept going - however, unless this issue is fixed I will choose to spend my time (and money) on Bubblemania which still has issues but at least they appear to listen to feedback and fix things that frustrate paying customers.

The more you win the more money they want. I’ve been playing this game for a solid year, always been a favourite. I’m now on level 2629. They they took away free play on moves (to watch an advert for) now they’ve taken away the chance to win things for completing challenges, plus more. I’ve spent money on this game when I’ve had nothing better to do (sitting in isolation etc) and the more I spent the more things they take away every single time. I’ll never spend a dime on this game again. Not to mention every time I did buy something like freckles/lives etc it was guaranteed I’d lose as soon as I did that. Oh and I only get the climb the stupid bean stock every time I ran out of lives. But when you don’t play for a while you’ll win 5 in a row. Stupid game built on strategic money making. There’s nothing strategic about it though, almost like pokies tactic

Fun… until it isn’t. This is an incredibly addictive game. Therein lies the hook. The levels are easy and satisfying to get through at first, then once you hit a certain level, it’s virtually impossible to beat the level- unless you spend actual money for extra moves or rewards to achieve it. I’ve been stuck on one level for 3 weeks now and it’s pretty obvious I won’t ever pass it unless I fork out cash to buy items. I guess players are supposed to be so addicted to continuing on with their progress, they’re willing to waste money on the game to do it? I’ll give it one more week then I’m deleting the game.

Really good and OK. 1. Yeah I even don't want to spend a cent but gold bars are now totally impossible to get but why? There's no Episode Race, which is probably the only way to get gold bars, why? Features randomly appear and disappear time to time and device to device. 2. Why did you remove interesting names such as "Chocolate Barn"? It was used to be fun but now really lonely, with only a few episodes having unique names. Please, bring it back, people will be excited, I know the reason why: it is to save memory. But I don't care about the memory of my phone. Thank you. 👍

Don’t know how these games are supposed to be stress free?!. Nice game, nice graphics with cute characters and story lines. You get hooked on the first few hundred levels. Then as you keep watching ads to get help and lives, this game starts to get frustrating as some ads don’t help, or you don’t get as many lives as the game offers. The levels repeat themselves. The easy ones are fun and relaxing, then the hard ones get annoying as you repeat them over & over! If you get help, lucky you, the game flies into the next level and you begin to wonder ‘what a fluke, how did I pass?’. Once you get stuck on a level and no help…it’s time to really beat the stress! Better to delete it and find a less stressful time waster. I don’t waste money on these games, why should anyone!!! Don’t people pay enough to use the internet these games are already sucking my credit dry and either way you won’t get far. Still can’t understand how people are so clueless, they pay to be included in forums (morons). Overseas the internet is free! Anyway happy gaming to the “Pros” out there.

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

to all the mothers. go be with your children stop playing candy crush

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

Addictive. Super fun when you have time to kill A+

Feeling pestered. Its not the game, it’s the relentless adverts on other game apps, specifically Words With Friends. I already have candy crush. The adverts don’t stop until they’ve popped up three or four times. And this happens after EVERY turn. I am sick to death of pressing X, Done, X, Done….. Please Stop!!!

Great game but. This game freezes every day and not just once! You lose what you were trying to achieve such as the cake layer Please fix your game

Rules. Thank you for changing the rules. After almost 6 years of playing I’m quitting the game. Your new POWER UPS and FUN EVENTS stink.

Dumb changes. Before, when you go into the game, and don’t like it’s layout, you could quit without losing lives. Now, not only you lose lives, you also lose the boost you select. I have played this game for years and now on 2377 probably going to quit this game for good since the dumb developers are just thinking of money, and not focus on player experience

Freezes. Not sure what’s wrong with the app, but a lot of the times when you play ads to get extra moves/boosters, the app freezes and you have to force quit the app and lose your turn. It’s getting highly frustrating.

Déception. Je suis très déçu des derniers changements ... surtout en ce temps de confinement ... il me semble tellement ridicule cette décision de changer le jeu de façon unilatérale me coupant des plaisirs que j’avais en en jouer depuis le début. Je suis au dernier niveau et j’attends chaque semaine la sortie des nouveaux niveaux et ce depuis plusieurs années ... entre temps je me ramasse des outils pour passer le temps. J’imagine eu ceci est une décision corporative et que dans les faits des milliers de personnes comme moi n’investissent pas dans votre jeu. Je suis triste et déçu ! Redonnez moi mon jeu comme il était svp c’est déjà difficile d’être confiné à la maison.. un peu de compassion serait grandement apprécié ... Hâte de voir le résultat de ce commentaire ! Je suis au bout du jeu et chaque semaine je dois attendre les nouveaux niveaux. Vous enlevez ce qui fait que le jeu est plaisant en attendant ... les 180 étoiles pour les goodies n’existent plus dommage. Je vais quitter le jeu ...

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

🤮🤬 worst game ever. This game has hit rock bottom. Strictly money grab. They need to bring back old version where you collected candies.🤮🤮

Don’t update. It’s a very bad update that prevent the player to quite the level without losing a life. It becomes boring and I will delete it from my phone.

Adds. Y’all are BUGGING with the adds... it’s a game not a tv show.🙄

.... I have nothing positive to say about this game, I have lost interest and I’m not wasting my time or money on this game. Less moves every-time and in order to pass “levels” in general you have to use $$$$$. Every God Damn Time. Don’t waste your energy or your breathe and keep your money away from this game.

Can not use games from envelope. Many problems. No facebook you erased my progress also now no facebook but the envelope on left hand side with a number I tap it push accept. But I cannot use the game. It reduces the number but gives me no game. You broke game. Fix it

Ridiculous. They keep giving you less moves to complete a level so you will have to buy boosters and more additional moves. Ridiculous.

Fun!. Great stress reliever!!!

Way too buggy. Almost impossible to play now. Surprising that this last update ever got out past QA, if there was such an effort. Someone should be either embarrassed or looking for a new occupation.

Crashing. Ever since the update the app is just stuck on the loading screen whenever I try to launch the game! It’s been a couple days now and still no difference and I’ve tried troubleshooting to no avail

Addicted. I love candy crush! Usually playing it whenever I get the chance to.. x

Not fun like it used to be.. I constantly find myself on the same level for over 3 weeks. You now have to buy boosters to really win level or gold bars. You don’t get enough moves anymore either. Just uninstalled. Trust me you’ll get fed up too. There are plenty of great games out here just like this where you don’t have to be stuck.

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

Double charges. I have noticed that if I purchase a 13.99 package it always charges me a 27.99 on top of it and I never purchased it. I have to call apple every time.

I don't know. Good game and it pass time

Problem with latest update. Ever since I updated the game this week, my boosters are locked. Even when I win boosters from the daily bonus, it does not engage. When I click on my profile, it shows the booster with the time counting down, but it does not appear in the level when I play. Please update the game again and fix the boosters.

Double bills!!. Beware: This app double bills on almost every purchase!!

No to exited. This game is made just to drain your money I play each level for 30 times and up sometimes, jut because it requires me to pay money. Make it user friendly plz

GREAT GAME!!. I’ve only been playing candy crush for a few days but I am already HOOKED! The one thing I would complain about is that you should be able to get gold without spending any money

Bad customer service. I have been playing this game for 8 years. I was past level 1500 and had over 100 of every item stocked up as well as 84 gold bars. It told me to log into Facebook to save my progress, so I did then lost EVERYTHING. After months of trying to contact them, finally they responded saying they will not replace lost items. Do not play any KING games if you wish to keep your progress safe. Terrible policies and terrible customer service.

Broken used to be great don’t waste your time. Have been playing for years logged in March 2 and lost all progress. And King says they can’t do anything. Was linked to Facebook so they should be able to do something but they refuse. And just send stock answers no actual customer support. Any suggestions for other non King games to spend my money ha ha

Dec 2019 update has big new restrictions. You could previously start and restart levels by going in and seeing the layout and where certain candies were. Now if you go in and out without playing you lose a life. Money grab😤

Greedy developers. Worst game updates ever. Ruined the experience... garbage greedy game

Bug. please do check level 12 I am an old player here but i could not retrieve my level 3000+ account so I started again but level 12 is bugged! please and Thank you

Can’t look at a level and exit without losing lives and boosters.. Not happy that after 7 years, they’ve made it impossibly hard to pass certain levels. You can no longer check out a new level, exit without making any moves and get a re-shuffle without losing boosters and lives.

Candy Crush. Just a money grab, they make levels impossible to pass without spending money. Every four or five levels it’s going to cost you to pass😡

Great game. I love this game!!!!

Can’t play music or tv while gaming anymore. They took away the Picture in Picture option so now you can only have candy crush running and no other apps. It’s terrible

Csn't play anymore. This version doesn't open so I just can't play.

New update - very unhappy. I think this is a great game, but the latest change, removing the ability to back out of games before making a move, without losing bonuses or a life, has ruined the game for me.

Bring back landscape mode. Why in earth would you not allow this game in Landscape mode, not everyone plays this on a phone, I was a avid player, I had to delete since that change.

ridiculous levels. game is not as fun as it used to be. free boosters or previewing a level without losing a life is no longer an option. it is pay to win and i’m not putting my money into a stupid game. as you get higher the levels become impossible to pass, it’s supposed to be challenging not impossible i don’t wanna spend three weeks trying to pass one level. will be deleting this game.

Stop music. The new version stop the music that you are listening it makes me crazy 😡

Terrible update. 6 years I’ve been playing and they ruined this with the latest update. Can’t preview a level anymore without losing a life and a booster. Bad move, ruined the game.

Boring mess. A boring mess of a game made not be fun but addicting.

CRAP!. This game is crap it tells me all the moves and its suppost to be your choice it's soooo annoying FIX IT!

What happened to landscape mode!. I absolutely hate this new update! I stopped playing because it was so awkward to play on my iPad. I can stand it up and play, I have to hold it and if it’s plugged in it’s even worse. It even rotates if I’ve locked my screen. I don’t appreciate having the game over ride my settings i use for comfort of play. After 10 years I’m done.

Quit game. Hi I used to be able to quit the game before I do any moves without losing a life !! How come The option isn’t allowed anymore???

Unable to listen to podcasts or audio books while playing. I enjoyed playing on my commute while listening to podcasts and audio books but now I am unable to. Makes me want to play less.

Bring it back. Why did Candy Quests disappear??

Waiting for cherries to fall “GLITCH”. Three or four different times on different levels I have watched the board clear multiple times and especially the row directly under the treat machine clear as well. No cherries ever dropped. So there goes my win streak. I beat every level on the first try “with boosters obviously” no $ ever have I spent on this “free” game. But time is money. Never the less. After loosing the level due to the ingredients not coming out, I closed the game and checked for an update. There was one. I installed the update. Re opened the game and continued. Low and behold the cherries dropped right away. And voila, back to the winning streak. I know this is just a stupid free game and in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. Especially to complain to an ear that doesn’t even care or want to do much accept keeping you hooked and hope you drop some $ on their addicting product which I will never do. So after writing this review I will reopen the game to continue and the level will drop the cherries and I will move on. Just venting to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. “CRUSH ON”

Biggest money grab of all time.. The pay to win in this game is insane. Surprisingly enough, King (developer) was purchased by Activision/Blizzard in 2016 for 5.9 BILLION dollars. Why would a game like this be worth 6 billion dollars you might ask? From a marketing strategy standpoint it’s genius, for the most part. These guys have made a fortune off of players, but it gets to a point where the game will legitimately force you to spend money or even keep you from winning prizes. I was in a tournament and was the only player left, in line to win 500 gold bars (a lot) and the game simply would not spawn the cherries that I needed to pass the level, despite clearing the whole row many times over. After I lost the level (after spending about 50+ gold bars on extensions) I went back and played it again, and beat it in a couple moves because both cherries spawned properly. They literally just stole money from me and I’m on level 2043. This is the last straw, there have been a lot of circumstances that were suspicious to say the least, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. They are thieves plain and simple. Do not get yourself into it because they will happily take your money.

Game algorithm is rigged & and set up to cheat you. Candy crush use to be really fun, but now it’s becoming super annoying and frustrating. Just because a color bomb or stripped candy etc etc gets activated or triggered and then a whole bunch of (other) reactions occur at the same time simultaneously on the board, doesn’t mean us players are stupid, as if we don’t know what’s going on. An experienced player, plans each move ahead of time, and are looking for the planned (DOMINO) affect to happen, but the game algorithm cheats you, by making candies explode, that weren’t even in the pathway of the planned domino affect. This forces players to waste unnecessary boosters and gold bricks, just to pass the level, which could have been saved. The algorithm is a massive greedy cheat, that is programmed to force players to spend more money on the game unnecessarily …. The developers must think players are stupid, and that we can’t tell what transpired, all because a bunch of reactions on the board will suddenly go off simultaneously! We’re not stupid CANDY CRUSH!! Fix this unfair algorithm or else I will find another game to play on my pass time. Because I’m not wasting no more money on this Psyop game.

Still not as good as Bejeweled Blitz. OK I played this for a little over a week. The game is typical match-3 strategy, and the first 10-20 levels provide lots of extra boosts to help one move past each level. There are many extra challenges and side games to help keep things somewhat interesting and hopefully result in the much needed boost gems. However, unlike Bejeweled Blitz (still the benchmark for match-3 games), once you run out of those first boosts from beginning of the game, too many levels are absolutely impassable without either spending real $$, or just keep blasting away at the same level until the game finally gives you a good board. And of course you only get 5 lives at a time then have to wait an hour or so until you can try again. This does not happen in Bejeweled; in that game you can play forever, eventually gather enough gold bars and gold coins to upgrade your game without ever spending a single cent. It doesn’t have to be this way people. Delete this stupid game and either download bejeweled or learn a new language or how to play the guitar.

I’m sorry. This is a review to follow up the review that said the F—- word and other horrid words that I didn’t mean. It was a horrible review and I take it back. I know you can’t take something back that is already out. You can’t put the toothpaste back into the tub. The least I can do is apologize. Once again I’m sorry for what I said. I was just stressed enough and I came on this game to leave the stress but only caused more on a nightmarishly hard level. I know I know this is a review and I do have a recommendation. Once you run out of moves you should give just one more move because you might needed one more to beet the level. This is actually a good game and it is relaxing just not on those levels. For the last time I just want to say I’m so deeply sorry for what I said on that interview. At the end of the day this game has saved me through troubled times in the past and those hard levels mold me into becoming more genuine and respectful for gaming. That’s what I realized in this experience. I’m glad to have this game.

Immediate Suggestions Are Irritating. Of the different match three games I play, Candy Crush is the only one I find irritating and it’s because the game offers its suggestion of where to move next almost immediately after my last move. I find it very frustrating that I don’t have enough time to look over my possible moves before the game gives its suggestion. I find myself resenting the game’s suggestions and I pick other moves even if it hurts my chances of completing the level. Once in a while I need help seeing where the possible move is, but move after move it’s highly annoying and I won’t play the game again until this has been addressed. There are too many match three games that I can play that don’t frustrate me like Candy Crush. Update: While playing a competitor’s game I watch an add for candy crush saga and the implied person playing the game makes the same moves only after the game tells them where to go. We are not all morons, so I will not play this game until the nearly instantaneous hints are turned off or only appear after 15+ seconds. The developers should get a clue and make this an option in the game settings. It’s so stupid.

In app purchases!. So I started playing this game at night when I sit in my kids’ bed playing music for them while they fall asleep. Well, it was great.....at first. It was a huge stress reliever, and I found myself actually staying in their room far after they were asleep just to play. So, once I got beyond the first few hundred levels, it became impossible to beat certain levels without using the in-app purchases for boosters and more moves. I didn’t even realize until way later, (and a lot of money spent) that the gold bars I earned wouldn’t go above 30. Shockingly enough, you HAVE TO BUY the gold that you earn to actually use it!!!! Seriously?!?!? So basically, I have to either drop 10-20$ on a booster pack that will probably only last a Day or two, because now I’m in the 1000s level, or constantly shell out 3$ every time my piggy bank is full! I am a point where I love the game, but can no longer afford to keep playing. Eventually the only people who will keep playing are the whales that can afford to drop 120$/week on such things. And being a “high level/active player” only means you’ll be handing out larger and larger amounts of cheddar to keep the game going. When I was in the lower levels, I could buy a 7$ booster pack, and now that I’m in the higher ones, that pack isn’t even available to me anymore! The smallest one I can purchase is now 10$, and pretty soon, that’ll probably be gone too! This is really frustrating for someone who just wants to play casually at night and enjoy an hour or some of mind challenging fun. I don’t mind paying a bit for a good game if I feel I’m getting something out of it, but at this point, I feel like it’s highway robbery! I’ll be deleting and looking for another game with better exchange rants of money for content!

DO NOT PLAY. Been playing this game for a while, now over level 6000 and I see so many high reviews and wonder if the reviews are fixed as well. 1st you will see tile’s you need to finish a level explode that should not have exploded and it usually happens when they are multiple explosions, they are hoping you will not notice. Another trick is they will give you the move to finish a level when you hit zero moves hoping you will spend gold bars/money to continue. It’s funny because I will have 5 moves left and 1 tile to clear and nothing will clear it. Then before I do the last turn I will laugh and ask my wife to watch and after my last turn is done sure enough a cherry Bomb will show up which will allow me to complete the level if I buy more turns. The dropped the gold bars from 60 to 30. They now have limited the free lives you can get per day and the total you can keep. The “play on” total use to go up to 35 but now it stays at 5. It use to be easy to send lives to friends now the button is gone. My profile went missing. So many problems and money grabs going on now time to move, you just lost an active player King congratulations!!!

Stuck on 223 way to hard why did u change it????. I am stuck on level 223 I’ve spent over 30 lives on this one level have wasted money trying to buy extra moves and candies to help me along the way the best I’ve gotten is the three jellies in the two top corners so I end with six. My level is different from my husband’s. He had to get a score within so much time my level is clear 81 jellies in 27 moves. It’s complete crap it does not let you get past it no matter what you buy or how you play. I’m to the point where I’m going to delete the app and no longer play because it’s a waste of time and complete crap. I have gotten on the support board and read comments other people are having the same problem I read what to do before contacting support followed their prompts and walked through everything they said it still doesn’t get me anywhere I have no way to email support as it takes me to the same page over and over again. You offer such a game and you don’t give us a way to email you that and it’s self is really messed up it’s clear by the reviews that several others feel the same way I do. Maybe you’re not even reading the reviews or the comments and listening to the people!!!!!

Disappointed. The second time I will try to write the is review because the first time it kicked me out. Although I love the game, it’s evident it is setup to make a person spend money to win unreachable levels. I made it to level 756 and although I did contribute money to enjoy a game that I love on previous levels, I understand a business based on games is created with levels where it’s only possible to win by paying which is really lame. This game is like the lottery, you play to win, but know that you have to continue to contribute to almost impossible wins. Disappointed all in all and I now will be deleting!! Much success tho!! I would not recommend unless you have money to beat impossible stages. When you’re winning they want let you complete certain bonuses because only so many can be completed one day!! This game is set up on algorithms to see who spend and how to gain more money. Save your money and invest in something you can really see a benefit from in real time because this is really NOT IT!! Again much success and I hope you take these reviews into consideration and not some person being mad they can’t complete a level that is not setup to be competed without buying extras!!

Do not spend a penny on this game! It often breaks, never giving you any way to win. This game, which is fun to play, has a tendency to just stop dropping the necessary items one needs to win. Not out of anything the player does…it just stops working properly! There is even a section on the help about the game not dropping cherries, which are needed to win in later levels. Their advice…from the actual help page is this: If the cherry still didn't drop, our developers suggest restarting the level and play it again. Sometimes things can break or not work in the Kingdom. We'll do everything we can to fix the issue quickly, so you can get back to your game. The problem is, when you restart a level, you lose all of the streaks and items you worked so hard to earn, and often spent money on, to accumulate! You’re just out of luck! It’s like they are saying: We made a game, and you spend money on it, but sometimes we won’t hold up to our end of the bargain. Take my advice, and please know that I understand the game, and this isn’t just me being unable to win properly: Do not spend a single penny on this game. You will regret it eventually.

Candy Crush: Encouraging Cavities and Poor Dental Hygiene One Level at a Time. My name is Karen Grant and my eight year old daughter Millicent has this game. She’s recently decided that she’s not going to brush or floss her teeth because “candy crush” taught her that it’s good to practice improper dental hygiene. I believe her exact words were, “But mom, ‘candy crush’ says that candy is better than brushing and I can eat as much candy as I want and never ever have to brush.” When I questioned her further, she told me that “candy crush” was a game on her iPhone eleven. I played a level in order to investigate further. “Candy crush” had nothing but cavity food on the screen, with not a single toothbrush in sight. The game kept saying things like “sweet” and “tasty” when I made a match and ended with something like “sugar rush”. These things are basically the equivalent of “candy is good for you”, “don’t floss,” and “dental hygiene doesn’t matter at all”. My daughter Millicent is also saying that she wants candy for dinner instead of “yucko” vegetables. Because of this game. Please update this game and change it to “veggie crush” so that my child, and every other child playing this game, doesn’t end up with cavities. 🥬🥬🥬

Annoying features and more. When I start a new level with boosters from an event (especially with color bombs), the game "zaps" the boosters into existence. Here is where the problem starts. Because the color bomb (CB) was zapped onto a color (say, orange) if I use a color bomb, or put 2 oranges together (usually on accident) next to the CB, it detonates bc the game thinks its a CB AND an orange candy. This is extremely annoying bc the CBs detonate without me using them. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! PUT IT BACK TO THE OLD WAY WHERE THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE LEVEL WITHOUT THEM BEING "ZAPPED" INTO EXISTENCE! More annoying things: why did u make levels 223, 237, 252(my used-to-be fav), and more MOVES LEVELS!? Level 252 especially, where u could play infinitely bc time candies kept coming down, u shouldn't have changed it! Change it back! Don't "fix" things that aren't broken! Also, why do I need to look at AT LEAST 2 events before I go onto another level? Usually idc about the events. Can there be a way to turn this off? Lastly, why is there a piggy bank that COSTS $2.99 TO BUY? If I earn the gold from playing levels, I shouldn't have to buy them, especially for $2.99 EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP!!! That's what EARNING means! Please make it free, or at least lower the price.

Nothing but fluff and hype. I decided to try Candy Crush because of its popularity. I wanted to find out what made it so popular. I still haven’t figured it out. Mostly I think it’s a lot like an old-fashioned pinball machine, with lots of bells and whistles and flash. I decided I wouldn’t bother using any boosts, and definitely no real money, and just see how far I could go. Well, I got to level 61 real easy. Like, so easy that some levels I only made one move on the board and it cleared itself. And then came 62... It’s called a Nightmare level, or something like that. A level deliberately made to make you want to use boosts AND SPEND REAL MONEY. Well, no thank you. Is it a matter of just re-trying until you make it through? I don’t think so. I have re-tried this level many times over the last few days, up til I’d run out of lives. It’s a horrible level, nightmare is right. And then I’ve heard about an even worse level 65... No thank you. It was fun when I was brainlessly breezing through levels, sometimes we can use a bit of mindless harmless fun. But now I’m supposed to go beat my head against the wall? I get enough of that in real life.

Don’t pay them money. It’ll ruin the game.. Similar to other reviews. I was having difficulty on a level (2307 i think). Stuck on it for days. Used all my free boosters, never passed the level to collect more, so I caved and bought a little $1.99 booster pack. Ever since then, i’m averaging maybe 1 level every 2 or 3 days (now on 2327, been stuck there for 3 or 4 days). Once you pay once, they take their bets on you paying again, so don’t do it. Every level takes days, and it’s so frustrating. Although I am slightly addicted to the game, I’ll muster up the will power to walk away cold turkey. Thus, after 10+ years playing the game off and on, I think I’m officially calling it quits at 2327 because the amount of stress and frustration is not worth my time and energy just to get dumb luck (although it seems pretty intentional when they want you to pass a level) or take just long enough where they try to lure you back in with a random streak of wins. Thanks Candy Crush for the years of puzzles and helping me pass the time in those boring moments, but you finally got what you wanted. I hope that $1.99 I spent on that booster pack was worth it! ✌️ Deleting the app right after posting this, btw.

Big cheat . Do not watch videos or spend money. Updates in the past year have ruined this game. The dragons have been around forever. Are the developers that lazy . Ridiculous reductions in the number of moves allotted on the levels. Example level 114 in April of 2024 had 28 moves. As of a October 2024 moves are reduced to 19. No new truly intriguing plays. No new animations. The game has increased in difficulty. There are constant time wasting animations of making it on first try. I just want each new level to pop up after completion of previous one. I want to find a new fun matching game please. Repeated time wasting add a friend and special purchase screens are most annoying. Drop down banners obstruct view of goal . Time wasting obstructions. Lack of positive responses. There is no way I am purchasing anything when moves are so restricted and limited. Prime example level,100. Original available moves used to be 24. Moves now down to 18. I am not that gullable nor that addicted to this game. I play less and less. Got other things to do. Same old, same old. Just more heavily coated candies, heavily restricted screens, reductions in moves and therefore I give up and find other things to do.

Still crazy after all these years…. Just a quick note. Please monitor your ads better. I just wanted some extra moves but watched the same ad three times in a row. One minute each. 🥱😵🥴😧 Seriously? Let’s go back to 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Please… I think I’ve been playing this game since its inception. It used to be a lot more fun. I kind of wish you’d create another game, maybe “Candy Crush Classic” for those of us who really enjoyed playing it before all of the hard, very hard, super hard, and nightmarishly hard levels took the fun out of the game. Right now I’m in a land where 10 out of 15 levels are one of those ridiculously hard, use up all your boosters, levels. Maybe a choice of difficulty in the game. (Also, I enjoyed playing against my FRIENDS, not strangers.) One more thing - It seems that you have gone backward in your development department. We used to be able to play in both landscape and portrait mode. Could we have that choice back? I personally don’t care for portrait mode in this particular game. It is still available in the Soda Crush version. Just curious about it.

Too frustrating now. I'm close to level 1000, and there are now way too many "hard levels" and "super hard levels". Even some "regular" levels are very hard to beat. I play this to relax, not to get frustrated. This game is only about 5% skill. The other 95% is the algorithm that controls the outcome, regardless of how clever you are. You will only finish a level when the algorithm decides to let you. I don't mind using power ups, even several per level, but only when I am within reasonable sight of success. When there is no hope of winning a level, I'm not going to use 15 or 20 - or more - power ups to win. It's quite ironic that the loading screen now says things like "relax and play candy" or "you are in control" when the game just brings frustration (not relaxation) and I know darn well that a computer is in control, not me or my skill. All of this is just making me play less and less, and I know there are many people who feel the same way. When King updates the game, their update notes in the App Store say "Coming back after a break? It's about time!" Why do they think people take a break in the first place? Because the game frustrates the crap out of them by being rigged!

Candy Crush Saga. I played the game a long time ago and was stuck at one level where I could not advance, no matter what I tried. I was very frustrated and decided not to play for awhile. I kept seeing the ad on the TV and decided to give it another go. Although I had to start at the beginning again, I quickly advanced and could see that there were a lot of positive changes in the game. I got to that level where I had been stuck before and thought "I wonder what's going to happen this time". I didn't get stuck. There were changes that made it possible to use skills to get through. I was very happy! I've kept going and I'm still enjoying it. My least favorite part is the chocolate that never stops giving and giving.......... It also seems ironic to have to pay for the gold bars I've earned. I'd rather pay for extra bars, not the ones I've earned playing the game. The colors are vivid and the graphics are humorous.

Great game. This game is very very fun a kills time!! It’s annoying when people say it’s to hard or King is tricking u for money I understand that but people are like on very very high level without even spending money King’s prices are a little pricy and I understand if u don’t buy anything but don’t rate it like 1 star bc u can’t beat the game if u don’t like the game that’s ur opinion. I’ve gotten every reward from candy crush no glitches or scams if u do contact them on their website!! I love this game it’s very fun candy crush gives u daily challenges and races and u get gold bars and rewards for basically just playing the game if u save that up you have alot of gold bars and you get discounts too this game may be easy as cake to others and hard as a rock to some but I swear when u beat a lvl it’s so fun watching all the striped candy woosh across the board and the candy exploding it makes winning the game entertaining and fun it’s very very fun I recommend this game!!

Not getting boosters. I get first place for the weekly race and receive boosters or win boosters in contests or daily spins but when I go and look they are never there. Been playing this game for years, since it first came out, and I don't think candy crush cares about their long time players any longer. I've deleted this app once and quit playing candy crush for around a year and just started playing again but I'm at the point of just deleting it once again. Some of the new levels are now totally impossible to beat without boosters, which I never even receive in the first place. Candy crush should listen to their long time players and take constructive criticism and amend this issue of boosters not being received and get rid of "nightmarishly hard levels". Who even wants to play those levels in the first place. Unfortunately, I truly feel like this game has become run by people who don't care about players anymore and only want to make money. Saddened to see that when money comes into the equation people get greedy...cheating players out of boosters...forcing hard levels...and in the end, the fun of the game is taken out and the game is ruined.

Fun but rigged. A fun game but definitely rigged. Candy crush relies on some chance based on certain candies falling so you get the right colors or special candies needed to win. However, far too often for it to be chance you go multiple moves without any useful candies falling and the playing field gets worse the more times you repeat the level and not use special candies. Other times they force to use special candies that form or a fish conveniently hits one and sets of a chain reaction to get you to lose the level. Also, you get multiple fish and coconut wheels per level but there is no rhyme or reason to when the drop usually giving you more the needed on easy labels but not repeating on hard ones. This would not be a big deal if it happened randomly but if you don’t use special candies regularly the playing field gets worse and worse forcing you to use special candies to win. Happens to much to be random. Basically it’s rigged to try and force you buy candies and gold bars. Sort candy crush. I don’t buy from cheaters. And when I tried to enter a low rating somehow every nickname is conveniently taken. CHEATERS!!!!!!

Dear Candy Crush,. I love Candy Crush who doesn’t. But the game should be less addictive as it is. I played about 20 levels this morning and they were not easy. What I don’t like is that they only sometimes gives you boosts and such when you don’t to bribe you into the game. Something positive I should say is I love how the game is basically telling a story in candy land. The main character Tiff helps animals. I like that the challenges get harder as you go but not too hard that is good so you adapt and don’t notice how much harder they are compared from 80 to 1. And I like the contests because it’s fun to compete with people even if you don’t know them. I am really competitive so of course I do. I hate how they advertise other games by the company in the game because for their own sake people are going to stop playing cause of these adds. The gold bars are great when you have them but unfortunately they go away or spent very quickly that is. Thank you for reading, CatPenguin291 (Padfoot) fellow player.

Super Sugar Crush. Super addicting, I’ve been playing since 2015 and I’m on level 2545. If you keep winning the first time on each game that’s when I get interested. Collecting power boosts throughout the game, is part of the interest. There is something about beating a level that makes you feel slightly accomplished. And it’s fun! Although addicting, there are flaws: 1. Super Sugar Crush gives no points at end of the game, just erases everything - please fix this 2. You will never get a jackpot on your daily spin. - please don’t make it an option or make it possible 3. Not sure how to earn gold bars, other than buying them - maybe earn 1 per set of games? 4. THE EXCESS AMOUNT OF CLOSES AND CLICKS YOU HAVE TO DO TO GO TO THE MAIN SCREEN OR TO THE NEXT LEVEL IS UNBELIEVABLE!! STOP REMINDING ME OF THE PIGGY, THE DRAGON, THE WEEKLY SCORE, RAMI, MY WEEKLY PLACE, YES I WANT TO CONTINUE and more -please fix this too Ideas: 1. I wish I could undo a move once in a while. Ex. Drop my phone and made a terrible move, or my fat thumb didn’t pick up the correct way I wanted to move a candy. 2. Create different worlds that when you reach certain levels (1000) you move forward so it doesn’t feel never ending. 3. An easier way to give lives to friends. To the players: 1. Really think about what you are purchasing if you decide to spend your money. 2. Don’t waste 7 gold bars so you MIGHT get extra moves after you run out of moves 3. Find friends to give you lives! (Or tricks)

.... I never really gave Candy Crush a fair shake before. Back when it first released it was easy to pan as a knockoff of its jeweled cousin, not to mention being a go-to example of the evils of free-to-pay, in-app purchases, timers, currencies, etc, etc, at a time when all of those things—so commonplace now—were seen as the downfall of mobile gaming (and perhaps gaming without the qualifier). We probably weren’t wrong for our fears—like I said, these elements are a given in most free-to-play today—but it’s weird coming back to Candy Crush and seeing how forgiving their brand of free-to-play is. Gaming developers have seriously clamped down hard on free-to-play, such that any actual fun is hidden behind break-out-your-wallet IAPs—usually within the first hour or two. I’ve played two days of Candy Crush without impediment to the fun. And let me tell you, if matching pieces of candy and watching them pop sounds like fun, Candy Crush delivers. Few things are as satisfying as setting off a huge chain reaction that clears the board. It’s visually gratifying, and makes grinding some of the harder levels worthwhile. Because, yes, there will be some grinding. The only criticism I can levy at Candy Crush is that there is a huge element of luck involved. This luck comes in two forms: 1. Your opening board’s randomized candy layout. 2. How big your ending cascades end up being. You can have a perfect strategy (or multiple strategies), but because of the amount of randomization, you can fail a level over, and over, and over, until you finally get an ideal opening board and/or ending chain. That’s frustrating. Then again, luck is a part of a lot of games. I remember flinging birds at pigs, and I could stretch that stupid slingshot the same way each time and get a different result. C’est la vie. To whatever extent you like your match 3 genre games candy coated and puzzle oriented, Candy Crush remains surprisingly relevant.

Play with informed caution. I learned the hard way that winning when you get to a certain level (I am currently in the 4000) takes many, many tries and caving in and buying "help" is addictive, especially if you are trying to win a competition. The developers tell you that a certain percentage of players HAD to use helpers in these harder levels. Additionally, they constantly hound you to add friends, which you can get more lives from, BUT they cap the ability to use those lives, they don't go away, but if you are close to winning a goal in the competition, which may give much needed helpers, you will be cut off at the knee for HOURS before you can use the lives stored. I know because I got sucked in and didn't know about these situations until way too much money was spent. I do not object to spending but fair is fair. Various ways to win help also randomly disappear and I was told this is intentionally done. The developers do a very poor job of communicating these limitations. So play with this cautionary knowledge and treat this game like an addiction (gambling) because it can be.

This game stinks. I used to play daily and had been for years, I’m over level 7,000, so I’ve been through a lot with this app. It’s slowly getting worse every week. Their most recent thing is that the daily treat generator doesn’t pop up every day, so even though you’re playing, you can’t collect. Then, when it does pop up, it sets you back to zero because it doesn’t think you’ve played for three days. Either fix the glitch, or put it in the menu so we can manually open it. Toooooo many extra games that pop up and force you to acknowledge them. If you want to get on to play a quick game or two, you can’t, bc you have to sit and watch 25 different animations for their side games. Also STOP forcing us to pay candy royale! 😡 it’s been long enough, put the X back in the corner so we can opt out. The fish literally do nothing to help you anymore, if anything they hinder you by hitting a striped or wrapped candy next to a color bomb so then you can’t swap those two the next time for a big hit. I’ve been playing their competitor’s game more than this lately. I’m about done with CC all together.

It’s glitchy…. The past month or so, I’ve noticed a change in how the app operates. For one, anytime I go to claim a prize or spin the booster wheel, it takes a solid minute for the game to actually recognize I pressed the button before it actually does anything. It also has difficulty connecting to the store if you fail a level and the window appears showing you options to continue play. Second, when passing a level while playing Candy Royale, it ALWAYS boots me out even if I won the level. Always. I can’t seem to understand if it’s a very delayed reaction to failing a previous level or what, but I can pass a level and get the pop up telling me better luck next time. There are numerous times where the pressing a button simply doesn’t do anything- claiming a prize, starting a level, sometimes even actually playing the game. I know it’s not my phone or screen as I generally close the app and open something else and the screen responds just fine. I am not sure what’s happened in the background- maybe a switch in developers or something- but the gaming experience isn’t as enjoyable as it used to be.

I give candy crush saga a 4 star. Candy crush saga is great and all except for a few things. Candy crush will freeze on you randomly and I don’t know about you but I hate it when things get frozen! I’ve had candy crush for maybe a year or two and it always will send me adds not for updates but for downloads even though I play it constantly! This one might not be a problem for you but for me it kind of is, candy crush saga will rate you make you feel like you have to play or your score will go down and trust me you don’t want your score to go down because it’s for the whole world to see! I know I’m using a lot of exclamation marks but it’s because its kinda stressful! One more thing profiles it’s so hard to change them and their really weird for example mine is a farmer…..I think and I’m a girl! So basically they just give you a random one that you normally don’t want at all another example is my little brothers, his profile is a panda that doesn’t even look cute. He hates his profile. Which is why I give candy crush saga 4 stars.

Very disappointed. I have been playing candy crush for over ten years and I have never been more dissatisfied until recently. Three months or so ago, the rates for boosters doubled, you get less for more. If you win boosters, you only get an hour to use them. Let’s say you have one life left and you lose, well “bye-bye” boosters until next time. One used to receive boosters and you got to keep them indefinitely or until used. Well Candy Crush has figured out a way to feed their greediness. You get 30 gold bars for the same price you used to get 60. If I’m going to pay $2.99 for 30 gold bars at least give a player more lives for making an expensive purchase. 20 gold bars used to be $1.99 well now you get 10 of them for the same price and one cannot even buy anything for 10 gold bars. You have to spend at least $5.99 each time you want to buy a booster and you get an hour to use what you bought. It is ridiculous and it angers me that this is a game people look forward to because, I will admit, it is a fun game. I have decided to delete it and try other new games who need more players and sell boosters for reasonable prices. Not to mention, you play FOREVER to earn boosters and when you finally get some, the game won’t connect to the internet and you get nothing. I have tried to contact customer service to help me get boosters I’ve lost due to connectivity issues and all I get is crickets each time. These people are making so much money but have zero interests in helping you, help them provide a better game for everyone. I’m done! I’ve deleted the game after 10+ years and moved on to “Fishdom” and looking for new ones, with reasonable rates. I hope everyone starts to boycott this game. They deserve it! But they don’t deserve you and your money.

It’s fun, but....... Four stars for entertainment value. I enjoy the mental challenge of the harder levels, it is a stimulating way to pass the time. This game also can be infuriating at times, for two main reasons: 1) they are CONSTANTLY trying to get you to buy things, which are outrageously priced for any game in general, but most especially for a puzzle game. I know where the shop button is, if I want something I’ll buy it. 2) you only get 5 lives. Once you get to the much harder levels, it’s very easy to blow through five lives very fast. The problem here is that each life takes HALF AN HOUR to regenerate. C’mon guys, I don’t give a crap about your challenges, competitions, or other “features”. I just want to enjoy the puzzles, and I can’t even get started with five lives (takes about 10 minutes to play) before you ban me for three hours. Why there isn’t a “free play” option I do not know, but someone in the developing office needs to get on that one, STAT! The “buy $150 real dollars of gold for 6hrs of limitless lives” is absolute bullsh*t and is very much overcharging for something basically worthless.

This game used to be fun. I have been a candy crush player since the game started. The game used to be fun to play and I’ve never felt pressured to NEED to spend money for boosters and lives to pass levels. It seems like now you absolutely cannot pass certain levels until you pay for some kind of booster then miraculously after purchasing the level allows you to pass without using the booster that was purchased. I have also noticed you need to purchase the extra moves to pass levels as well otherwise you’re stuck for days or weeks on the same level which eventually makes you not even want to play anymore because you don’t want to keep spending money. If i wanted to gamble I’ll play a gambling game. Overall i think i will stop playing this game again because now it’s pointless unless you wanna spend 100s on boosters and unlimited lives to pass to the next. ALSO LET ME ADD the current “SPRING CLIMB” is also rigged. I have logged on every day and every time i clock the flower it’s almost like it does it purposely on whichever one i click. Seems impossible to really come up on some boosters on that. So yea I’m coo on this game everybody out for money these days

Can’t exit Credit Karma. I mostly like this game. I have played on both my iPad & my iPhone for 9 or 10 years. I have never purchased any of the boosters but win them through the various methods offered in the game. I do get aggravated when I get a free booster that lets me use it for a few minutes then when I watch an ad to get extra moves I get the ones for 30 seconds & sometimes all 3 are for 30 seconds. This uses up my booster time. I never listen to them & rarely watch them. My biggest complaint is with the Credit Karma ad. It’s short but it WILL NOT allow me to exit when the ad time has ended. It goes to the app store for me to click on the “Get” button. No way in “h….” I would get the app. When it goes to the app store I swipe out & click on the Candy Crush button on my homepage. I do this back & forth many, many times until I get fed up & opt out of trying to get extra moves. That causes me to not be able to get any extra moves. Please fix this or remove the ad for Credit Karma.

Dumbing us down. I enjoy this game a lot. Although it is obviously rigged so players might consider buying his/her way out of a game instead of being created so that its players become smarter. Personally, all games should cost 1price, 1x, and skills earn you special prizes. Why should a game creator get paid over and over for a game created years ago?! And how disgusting that this company's members earn money by setting up games so that a player chooses a cheat tool instead of choosing to improve their skills. Gross gross gross. Many rounds are designed to be impossible to win regardless of skill. Why are game companies not providing it's players with opportunities to get smarter? Instead players are being expected to be rich with a dumbed down brain. Hmmm...bad equation!! And furthermore, why can't I shut off the blinking suggestions? Especially since they are always the wrong choice! I'm almost done playing this game forever because the creators are dedicated to creating a stupid society.

Annoying. This game is a great way to kill time, so I turn to it sometimes at night when i don’t want to think overly hard and just match up identical objects. Everything else about the game, however, is extremely annoying. You will be assaulted with popups before and after every single level, some of which will force you to hit the x twice while an idiot popsicle-stick character pedantically asks you if you’re absolutely sure you want to close the popup. The characters in particular garner most of my derision, appearing after every game and on popups to try to applaud, guilt, or extort you depending on the windows they’re in. I dislike feeling like someone is treating me like an idiot, and thats the feel these characters give me constantly. The sounds are also grating and highly repetitive, just save yourself the trouble and mute all of it as soon as you can. If it had just been a matching game with incremental difficulty and without all the idiotic bells and whistles, it would have been good, but instead its just a bright, irritating regurgitation of every casual game you’ve already played.

Ideas for a great update!!. This game is already awesome but it can get even better. Have some ideas for a social space in the game. In this social space you can talk to your friends as well as the world. Like different chats within the social space. Also when your friends are stuck on a level you should have it where you can get help once a day or 3 days or even a week. So you send them a help request and when they accept they play your level you’re stuck on and it uses one of your lives or you can have it use no lives. Also you can send lives through the social space. Also can you have an arrow or like a level guide on the side so you can go to the bottom easier bc it’s a tedious thing to send lives to people without them asking or maybe you do that so we won’t do that I’m not sure. But I’ve told people this I play with and they said I should email you guys but idk if you would take it seriously or not.

Addicting but flawed. I have been a candy crush addict since it came out. It’s so relaxing. As addicting as the game is, the flaws are hard to look past. My biggest complaint is- if I level up when I am already at 5 lives(full), I feel like I should still get the 5 life reward for reaching a new level. Also- waiting 30 minutes for one life? I might be willing to buy boosters and other such things if it didn’t take so long to refill my lives. I paid the $2.99 for the piggy bank, thinking it was a one time purchase and then you can just have it, not the case. You want me to pay 3 real life dollars for an imaginary piggy bank for my imaginary gold bars every single time I fill it up? And not even warn me that it’s not a forever kind of buy? Rude. I don’t understand the contests at all. There are no explanations for them. I’ve been in the top 3 multiple times and it shows a treasure box next to my status but I never get any rewards. There are so many side contests going on that it all gets very cluttered on your home screen and I really don’t care to do the side contests but I have notifications for them that I can’t delete. Annoying!

Landscape support removed on iPads. After a long time, after I recently got back to playing some more Candy Crush, trying to go on the Game on my iPads & I see that the landscape support for it was removed in a recent update or so, basically making it harder to play the Game on the iPads, to where I would have to hold them in portrait to especially get the full screen. The iPads running iPadOS 18 or older automatically rotates to portrait, when opening up the Game, while the iPads running iPadOS 26 or newer just opens up a portrait window, literally not filling the entire screen, basically more like filling only half the screen. Since landscape was helpful for some iPad Users, like me, to just stand the iPad up in landscape & play the Game on it (Basically a lot like playing it on a Laptop in comparison, if the Game was to be supported for it…), I would like to request an update that would bring back the landscape support to the iPads, so that any of us iPad Users can go back to playing the Game in landscape, like before.

Played for Years. I’ve played Candy Crush on and off for a few years now. From my perspective of things, complaints/suggestions by other reviewers have since been fixed. In the past, the only way to get gold bars was to pay. If you didn’t have gold bars, you couldn’t buy boosters at will, and would have to deal all the cards dealt, even if they were virtually impossible without boosters if you needed a certain kind but didn’t have them. This would personally result in me not playing for weeks, as well as only having a total of five gold bars in the span of three years. However, you can now get gold bars depending on how fast you complete groupings of levels, and whether you did it above or below the average speed of other players. It helps gameplay very much and speeds it up, so to speak. Additionally, just a year or two ago Candy Crush added milestones. These give out small bundles of awards which include a restoration of health, discounted bundles you can buy, etc. I just reached level 1,000 and was pleasantly surprised with what would otherwise be known as a mini ‘jackpot’ without having to spin the prize wheel. I also love the mini events and challenges: the mini storylines, booster-rewards,.. Overall, Candy Crush is a great, aesthetically pleasing game. It’s not necessarily as addictive as more recent games due to less surprises and suspense, but I can’t imagine Candy Crush with any suspense at all. I love Candy Crush, as Candy Crush. I look forward to playing a lot more in the future.

Love this game…sometimes!. Candy Crush is a fun game to play…initially. It is easy to if learn and has great graphics. Early levels are easy to pass, and the steady flow of wins is what hooks us. But the level of difficulty increases quickly, time required to complete the levels can be absurdly long, and interest begins to lag. And of course these things are controlled by the game’s program. But by this time we’re hooked, and so play on. Some of the more generous rewards (that allow you to keep playing) are probably impossible to achieve unless you pay to play. For example, each level shows a string of boosters you can achieve if you complete 5 levels without failing. If you fail any level you have to go back to the beginning—not just complete that level and then continue on. I find myself looking for other games that are not as punitive as Candy Crush can be, and have been playing those more frequently instead.

Losing lives when I shouldn't.... I used to love this game, but the higher levels are getting so frustrating. Some are ridiculously hard to pass . I've been stuck on level 245 for weeks I think? So many times I could have won the game if you allowed cascading stripped & wrapped to count. MANY times I had the two cascade together, but they never counted! What's with that? Because I didn't "manually" put them together, it doesn't count? Ridiculous! You should really fix that...Also, you should make it so that if you want to use one of your "tools" like the fish or a candy bomb, you can choose them at ANY point in the game -it shouldn't be a choice "ONLY" before you start the game... Also, VERY frustrating that you loose your spaceship and boosters you win for completing a level on the first try if you don't immediately go on to the next level. I was in my last life, and I accidentally clicked out of the game after winning a level and when I went back in to go to the next level with my spaceship and boosters, I couldn't. Please fix this so people can use their spaceship and boosters when they choose.

Candy royale and clicks. I’ve been playing candy crush since around 2011. I’m so disappointed at the game now. I hadn’t upgraded the game for about 2 years and when I got a new phone that meant I had to have to most upgraded version of the game. The amount of times you have to click an “x” after the end of a level is really frustrating. It used to be a couple clicks. Now it’s like 5-6 clicks. The worst part of this game is the unavoidable candy royale challenge we are forced into. I HATE waiting for the animation where it looks for 100 other players to start candy royale. I also hate waiting for the animation where it boots you out of the challenge after you lose the level. It’s such a waste of time. I don’t even want another thing to have to click out of, let alone animations that I’m forced to wait for and can’t click out of. This is really frustrating and I tend to play this game less often now. Please get rid of candy royale all together. And make it so we don’t have to click out of so many things after each level to continue playing the game. Thank you.

Impossible to play without boosters. I remember playing candy crush back in 2013 but quit playing because the levels were impossible to get past after you got past the first 700 ish levels. I decided to download this several months ago to play it again to see what changed. The first annoying thing are all the pop ups for current events, daily wheel you can spin for boosters, ads to buy gold bars, etc. the game has added things like paying for extra moves with gold bars, many different kinds of boosters, some free and some you have to buy. The second most annoying thing, which has since made me quit and play other games, is the fact that after about level 700, the levels are impossible to pass without the aid of boosters or buying more moves with gold bars. There are levels that have cartoonishly low amounts of moves that are impossible to pass without any boosters. It’s taken me days and sometimes a week to get past some of them and it’s just not enjoyable. It just makes you feel like this was designed exclusively for whales. I get that games need to be challenging but they also need to be reasonable to pass.

Don’t upgrade your phone!. Well since most cell phones are lease now, you are locked in to upgrade or pay for a lease that goes no where or buy your phone that you’ve paid on for 2 years... anyway... disappointed that when I did upgrade and I loaded phone from a back up, my bonus speckle ball, lollipops, wheels, etc that start at beginning of each game were all gone. I had saved 100’s of these to use on very hard levels. I’m at level 1002 and all my bonuses are gone. This is only candy crush game that it happened to. In candy crush soda and jelly, my game bonuses were saved. That’s very frustrating. If I didn’t love the game, I’d stop playing. It will definitely put a damper on playing the game. Second star deducted because that stupid gold bar bank... whoo, I get to purchase bars I earned... for $2.99! Wow, what a deal!!...NOT! And it constantly reminds me that it’s full and I need to purchase them. And full at 60... I’ve added way more than that to bank that isn’t even counted. I’ll purchase my 1000 bars that never gets accumulated for $3?? Get real... reset the bank or make it go away completely.

Need To Buy To Move Forward. I’m on level “gazillion,” and I’ve noticed a player MUST purchase additional functionality in order to move forward. I’m willing to do so from time to time, but I get to the point where I cease playing for days or weeks if I swiftly exhaust a purchase but still can’t play through the impossible level. Unfortunately, the new Apple software upgrade forces touch ID; though mine works for other programs, it won’t in Candy Crush saga. So I can no longer purchase, either! I give it three stars because it IS enjoyable when you can play casually. I take two stars because playing casually is only a rare option now. I suppose I’m not the usual “gamer” if I just want to wile away 15 or 20 minutes without undue complications. When I’m playing, it’s solely for relaxation, so I feel no need to beat other players, to compare myself to other players, to send or receive “lives,” to share my goings on with the world via social media platforms, or to challenge myself in mindlessness (the later of which is an oxymoronic pursuit). Please: just let me play!

Even if you give money they won't help. I paid 3 times for boosters at $5.99 each. This includes gold bars and 3 types of boosters. The gold bars showed up but the boosters did not. I reached out to app support and they said they see it on my account so the ticket will be closed if I can't provide further information. I proceeded to provide five different screenshots and three screen recordings showing the boosters are not there. I logged out then logged back in. Still not there. I delete the app then redownload. Still not there. The agent gives me a "gift card" of 20 gold bars and the boosters - however yet again only the bars show up. I send ANOTHER screen recording showing this. They want further info on my account. I verify the purchases however the information they send me to send them a transfer link is out of date and the information is not accurate so therefore I cannot send anything. When told this they essentially say nothing further can be done. You will not see another dime or moment of gameplay from me. You have gotten money from me and time for years. All I ask is what I paid for and yet I'm being run around in circles for 72hrs being told I'm lying? Absolutely not.

Horrible. LOSE CANDY ROYALE. At the very least offer opt out. Sideshow games are a joke. Stop forcing players into groups. Stop taking away the fun of the original game. Lose the garbage. There is no chill and relax or time to unwind or swipe the stress away. King creates “stress” with not offering opt out for candy royale. Listen to the players. OPT OUT FOR CANDY ROYALE. Make the game fun again instead of annoying. Lose the scam ads. If you want people to “relax”, then lose candy royale. If you can constantly change number of levels to share gold bars, you can add opt out button for that stupid candy royale 😡 the game has become highly obnoxious. Actually pay attention to the players wishes. Where’s the opt out for candy royale????? Do better, King. Should NOT be forced more than once in 24 hrs to play the annoying candy royale. Where is the opt out for candy royale???????? Just let players enjoy the original game without the extra garbage. Read the forum boards. Players want candy royale gone, or at the very least, an opt out in order to continue to play basic game. DO BETTER KING. Candy royale has GOT TO GO. Bring back landscape orientation. Not everyone plays on a phone.

idk how this game has 5 stars.. I’ve been playing candy crush for years. Currently on level 674. All the reviews i’ve read have one star and are completely true. I have yet to even find a positive review for this game. The app had an option to watch ads for boosters/additional moves/extra lives. I got stuck on one hard level and spent $1 to help me pass it. Now, almost every. single. level. has not enough moves to let any reasonable person accomplish the level. The option to watch ads to have a few more moves to pass the level or to get more lives is now completely gone as well and my only option is to spend money. I firmly believe that if I had not spent that $1 (showing them i would spend money to pass my level) the ad option would still be available to me. I have had to pay to pass my last 3-4 levels now and I will be deleting the game. This was my go-to relax and decompress game, but it’s become just a scam. Very sad to see you go Candy Crush. I hope you re-evaluate the game setup soon and place more value into the people who have loved and played your game for years. I would have rather purchased this game for $3.99 if it meant fair + fun playing.

Ridiculously easy.. Ok, I remember first downloading this game 4 years ago as a way to kill some time when I worked as a home health aide while my patient would nap or sleep overnight. It wasn’t that easy, I even spent a few bucks on things to get past certain levels. After a while and a thousand levels, I deleted the app. That was 3 years ago. Fast forward to last week. I was sick with COVID and was going crazy having to quarantine and needed to kill time so after seeing a million commercials on cable I downloaded the app again. I got as far as level 317 before I deleted it again. At first it was fun, winning every level without running out of lives, barely losing any lives at all. Then the nightmarishly hard levels started showing and I figured I’d lose a lot of them, need to request lives from friends... when you can finish these levels with 20 moves to spare, it gets a little boring, honestly. Don’t get me wrong if I’m in an airport and need to kill a few hours, it would probably make time go by. Maybe it’s just me, but I like a challenge. Having a winning streak like the Harlem globetrotters just isn’t fun lol.

Incredibly frustrating. I never write reviews on apps, but this game has me so frustrated that I had to. First and foremost, way too many pop ups. If you’re stuck on a level, this game shoves it in your face that you can buy booster this, booster that. I’m literally not paying money for that. As tempting as it seems when you’re redoing a single level 80 times, it’s not worth it. A lot of levels seem physically impossible to pass without a booster and I feel like a lot of the time this “swipe the stress away” is a game of pure luck. It’s pretty fun when the levels are challenging and not IMPOSSIBLE. Games have to make their money somehow but seriously trying to at this point might I say, force players into buying stuff is ridiculous. I truly do feel sorry for the people who are addicted to this game having it shove those pop ups in their face because I can only imagine how hard it is to resist the urge when you enjoy the game so much. It’s hard to enjoy the game when you have to redo the same level a bunch of times and waste all your lives on it to have to spend a couple hours to try again. It’s a fun game when you’re actually getting lucky.
