Too busy and freezes

It would be nice if the game did like the old days where you could play one game to the end or timed or continuously earning shuffles and gem deletes to keep going. This one has levels with graphics so flashy and busy I don’t want to watch and frustrating to wait for next level to come up. Watching an ad to continue after reaching a no-more-move point isn’t so bad, they gotta get $ support some where. Also right in the middle of a move the app freezes (funny how ads still stream across top) forcing you to swipe it off and reopen, select which type you were playing, press continue, and play till next time it freezes. There is no timing of the freezing, could be minutes or seconds. I am not one who plays all day long usually just while waiting on an appointment or for someone so the freezing is very frustrating for me. And yes, I do have the latest iOS.

Too many ads

Look, I get it, they gotta get their revenue from somewhere. But the amount of ads I run into is absolutely ridiculous. I get an ad as soon as the game opens. Fine. But then I get another ad as soon as I click which type of game I want to play. Pretty annoying to get a double ad when I haven’t even played yet. But it gets worse. If I lose/time runs out/no more moves, it offers to let me watch an ad to keep going. That on it’s own isn’t so bad. Where it gets bad is when if I click no, it makes me watch an ad anyways for no reward, and then makes me watch ANOTHER ad after I get back to the home screen and click on another game option. Not to mention that every time I think I close an ad, it forces me to wait another 5 second to click another x to close it, and each ad will do this multiple times. It makes me click 3 or more separate arrows/x’s to close one ad. I understand they need revenue, but this is too much.

Oh and the sounds and music glitch often. Sometimes the sounds and voice will stop playing, or the music will play when it’s not supposed to. What I’ve mainly encountered is sounds and voice not playing if I pause and in zen mode I’ll have the ambient sounds on, pause, and then the music will overlap the ambient sounds.

I would really love this app if it weren’t for the highly intrusive ads. There are more user-friendly ways to get revenue.

Bejeweled – A true hidden ‘gem’ of the AppStore!

Bejeweled is a fun time wasting game that quickly made me glued. I do have some issues however, that sometimes when I game over, the screen freezes and i have to exit, loosing all the high scores and badges I may have earned that particular round, but, it’s only happened once or twice in the 5 years I’ve been playing this. I am a fan of the new ice mode, to say the least. And, although some said the adds were distracting, jeez people loosen up! It’s a FREE game with all but one of the modes! The only REAL issue I have is with Poker. It’s not that fact that you only get 3 plays, rather, it’s the fact that between versions, poker has seemed to skyrocket in difficulty. And it’s not me being a noob, either. I’ve seen many reviews complaining about this too. But who can’t go wrong with a game of bejeweled?
