  1. [R4] Stack 1/5 · GB Where's the game?: Lots of adverts with a game in there occasionally
  2. [R9] Stack 3/5 · GB Good and bad: So the game altogether is really fun but after EVERY SINGLE GAME this is 10+seconds adds and it is so annoying
  3. [R10] Stack 1/5 · GB DONT DOWNLOAD IT: When I I saw the reviews I thought it was meh it properly fake but when I download it was a disaster every time you lose you alway get a annoying ads which take so long and boring and since you might thing it it a good game it not so don’t DOWNLOAD IT
  4. [R13] Stack 1/5 · GB Great game, spoilt by adverts.: Ye same crap, ruined by ads, clearly devs prefer ads over greatness. End of each game unless low stack results in 2 ads or possible 3 being played, quickest way around it is shutdown the game and reboot which is far quicker that watching 30 sec to 1 min ads. I prefer some ads but not on this scale. Stop being ad demons devs.
  5. [R7] Stack 1/5 · GB My review on stack: It froze my phone for 5 minutes and did an emergency sos then cancelled it and turned my phone off and back on
  6. [R12] Stack 3/5 · GB Lags when an ad pops up: Great game although the game lags everytime a new ad pops up at the bottom of the screen, thus causing you to throw you off and lose prematurely
  7. [R16] Stack 2/5 · GB Freeze: every time i try play it freezes for a second when i try place a block and when i tap it freezes its hard to make perfects and no die
  8. [R19] Stack 1/5 · GB Adverts f&£k the flow: Adverts ruin the game . Freezes when the ad at bottom changes causing you yo fail
  9. [R18] Stack 3/5 · GB Ok but …: I paid 3 pound for no adds and I’m still getting a dumb stampede of ads don’t get deal ripoff and scam overall bad but the game is quite addictive ok but not worthy of the 4 star though it is still a good game room for improvement 🌟
  10. [R3] Stack 3/5 · GB Stop the blocks from growing: Relaxing game. But add an option to switch off the tiles growing after aligning them perfectly. Maybe replace it with a reward or something.
  11. [R6] Stack 3/5 · GB It ok: It’s fun to play the first couple of times but it just gets so repetitive although it can be fun every now and again. There should just be more stuff to do
  12. [R1] Stack 1/5 · GB Don’t risk it.: First thing that pops up is asking you to accept marketing/cookie preferences, going in to decline all these since they’re not exactly relevant, there’s HUNDREDS to manually unselect. No way to just decline all, and to then accept these changes, you need to find the not obviously placed button to accept, the main button, highlighted bright red is “Accept All”. Not a great experie
  13. [R52] Helix Jump 5/5 · US Helix: It’s so fun and relaxing
  14. [R53] Helix Jump 3/5 · US Add: This game is a really fun but the amount of ads there is , is actually insane . Theres an ad almost every time I finish a level so it’s very frustrating trying to enjoy the game when you’re interrupted every three minutes . Would be an amazing game if this issue was fixed ..
  15. [R55] Helix Jump 4/5 · US I love it but why: This add crash me phone and lagging I know is my favorite but no hate okay
  16. [R59] Helix Jump 3/5 · US inconvenient: i don’t like the fact that music stops every time i open the app. also ads after EVERY level is a little annoying
  17. [R22] Stack 1/5 · GB doesn’t work: lags too much and randomly slows down so is not able to keep rhythm too work
  18. [R23] Stack 5/5 · GB AMAZING🤩: The game is great and the overall graphics and design is fantastic!! People are complaining about ads, which is a simple problem to fix. Turn of your Wi-Fi and you won’t get any ads. Personally, even with Wi-Fi on, I never experienced any adds and find the game relaxing and great for passing time or a quick session of playing! I love the challenges / quests as they push me harder to do m
  19. [R36] Stack 1/5 · GB actual gameplay is good. Scummy Team.: The actual game is good. Explain to me why on an iphone 15 pro I get lag spikes every 10 seconds. Running smooth 120fps than a sudden lag spike???? If you turn of internet there is no lag spikes at all. Runs perfectly without internet. The second you turn it on they make your game laggy so you watch an ad to revive.
  20. [R5] Stack 5/5 · GB Perfect: Great when you have nothing to do
  21. [R14] Stack 5/5 · GB Best time killer: It’s absolutely so fun and best way to kill the time
