- [R2] Angry Birds Dream Blast Super fun game recommend: I love this game it is very cool but is very pay to win
- [R7] Angry Birds Dream Blast Paywall is a few days in: Paywall starts coming apparent around level 300. Was decent up til then but comes on quick. It’s impossible to beat some of the levels without the addons or buying more turns.
- [R10] Angry Birds Dream Blast Money to keep playing: Level 254 is impossible to beat without power ups. Not spending any more money. I’m done!!
- [R13] Angry Birds Dream Blast Pay To Play: Angry Birds was a great franchise until greedy developers turned the Angry Birds into Corporate Vultures. Since the corporations algorithms make it increasingly more difficult to complete tasks, there is absolutely no way to advance in this game without spending a LOT of money! Save yourself money and time by NEVER PLAYING THIS GAME!
- [R9] Angry Birds Dream Blast Issues: After update, it keeps freezing and locking up.
- [R11] Angry Birds Dream Blast 🆘Please help🆘: So this game I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I didn’t know it was going to get rid of my progress I tried everything and it still didn’t work so please help
- [R12] Angry Birds Dream Blast Super glitchy: Every stage freezes and shakes. I have to reboot every level.
- [R15] Angry Birds Dream Blast Coins: When I try to buy more coins it says it will renew automatically but it doesn’t and then I can’t buy the upgrade and or coins that I want. I think you guys would make more money if you allowed people to buy the event that’s going on or the coins or whatever it maybe at the same price point.
- [R1] Angry Birds Dream Blast Advertising: The adds they put for this game in other games are so ridiculously long and annoying
- [R4] Angry Birds Dream Blast Paying for VIP Pass ruined my game: I’ve played this sill games for YEARS without spending money. Recently, I payed for the VIP pass for an event and it immediately stopped all in game ads for extra moves at the end of the level. Support gave me some lame excuses as to why the ads stopped appearing, but like I said, I’ve played for YEARS and never had this problem before. It has ruined my game!
- [R21] Angry Birds Dream Blast Play downgrades: Had been playing this game for years. Enjoyed it (obviously) but frequently the up. “Upgrades” mess with the physics of the game making the player watch more ads. Good for Rovio not good for the player.
- [R25] Angry Birds Dream Blast Cash Grabbing Ad Pollution Experience: This used to be a fair and entertaining game in the past. Now it’s polluted with impossible levels to complete within the given turns leading to a poor experience and no chance. And of course, if you have the double blast bombs, etc., with the incorporated ai nonsense, it’s designed to be even more unfair and pointless to even try a Hard or Extreme level and
- [R3] Angry Birds Dream Blast Cute and good: I have no problem getting through the levels and don’t have to spend any money on anything, problem is it is too easy for me and would like a difficulty option, so I can go from relax mode to super challenge mode, you know?
- [R19] Angry Birds Dream Blast Fun, Rigged: Totally rigged.
- [R29] Angry Birds Dream Blast Extreme Levels are Absurd: The game is really fun and most of the levels are a good level of challenging. But the extreme levels are nearly impossible to beat unless you use a bunch of power ups. Sometimes I can’t even beat it with that. I end up stopping playing for days because it’s just frustrating and not even fun at that point.
- [R18] Angry Birds Dream Blast Decent game mostly: It cheats you out of progress and rewards by locking up. Support is mostly not helpful. Its all about the $$$$
- [R22] Angry Birds Dream Blast Pay and don’t get points: I’ve contacted support twice with the same issue and don’t get anything resolved. My ranking points say one thing and then on another screen say something different.
- [R30] Angry Birds Dream Blast Help: I live this game. However recently, 2 weeks, it keeps stopping and takes me out of the game. I have lost lives. Extra birds, some purchases. I couldn't find online help so here I am! 😩😩😩
- [R51] Angry Birds 2 Impossible: They have made the levels so hard that I cannot pass them without spending money on gems. Now I remember why I deleted this game a while ago. I am at level 141 and it’s literally impossible to pass without buying assistance. And I still couldn’t do it! Another game that is so difficult it forces you to spend money just to pass a level. Do better Rovio.
- [R53] Angry Birds 2 Money hungry game but super fun: The game has changed a lot since old. Now spending focused. Great for a good distraction during down time
- [R56] Angry Birds 2 Fun but: Too many pop up ads
- [R57] Angry Birds 2 Absolutely pathetic, RIP original legendary game.: So incredibly sad to see one of the original iconically amazingly fun iPhone games turn into another greedy pay to play game. This game has been rigged beyond belief. On top of all the absolutely ridiculous pay to play aspects, the game developer’s had the pathetic audacity to manipulate the World Cup into a way of them making money off a sport t
- [R65] Bubble Shooter Too many taps: Had to tap the screen 24 times just to get to play. Really?
- [R66] Bubble Shooter Panda Pop❤️: A great way to unwind and reduce stress while saving baby Pandas!
- [R67] Bubble Shooter Ok: Game is ok. It would be better if there was a million pop ups before you can even play. I sometimes just exit out and not even playing because all the pop ups that you have to go through before you can play.
- [R68] Bubble Shooter It’s so overstimulating: There is way too much,any pop up makes it overstimulating pls do something
- [R79] Angry Birds Hatchlings Seemingly purposeful “malfunctioning”: This game seems really fun at times but after I spend a lot of time and money powering up my birds and getting far in the game, (it happens EVERY TIME, multiple times a year) the game will conveniently freeze or just stop working until I’m forced to exit out of the game, causing all my progress to be erased. This game sucks.
- [R80] Angry Birds Hatchlings Freeze sucks: Why do I lose everything when i didnt cause the game to freeze.
- [R81] Angry Birds Hatchlings Still freezes up: After an update the game still freezes up and I lose a life. When is this going to be fixed?
- [R82] Angry Birds Hatchlings App Keeps Freezing: Every day when I play, even after I take all precautions, the game glitches out on me. I lose all my super birds, my streaks and my gems. It was happening once a month, then once a week, and now it’s every day. Paid 90 gems for my super birds, played 1 level and it froze up and I lost it again.
- [R93] Angry Birds Journey Don’t Care About Customers: The app platforms advertisers who put up ads with NO ”x” to close. I understand a timed period to “watch” the ads, but ads for games like “Tasty Travels” will let you “play” for several minutes, eventually stop, and then still remain on the screen without a way to close it out. The only way is to close the Angry Birds game completely out, restart it and when you do all
- [R95] Angry Birds Journey No Support people to access: If I had an issue there was always a support person. Now it just gives you articles and no real answers to questions. I had enough “apples” to get 400 coins. Game froze. Got off, accessed it again no 400 coins in my account and the 400 coins in the “Apple” option was gone. Not a good move to get rid of support PEOPLE.
- [R96] Angry Birds Journey The joy is gone: Suddenly all the perks are gone. No kiosk for days! No free birds before paying to continue, and few birds to start on difficult scenarios!!! I don’t want to play anymore
- [R97] Angry Birds Journey Fun: Fun game w few annoying commercials.
- [R107] Angry Birds POP! Very poor App: Too many glitches, game not available for days, Game cuts off randomly. Needs a huge makeover
- [R108] Angry Birds POP! Add more levels: Need to add fresh games quicker
- [R109] Angry Birds POP! AB POP: My game crashed. I was up into the 11,000 levels, had many boosts to use and lost them all. I was signed in with my Apple ID. Now when I log in, it starts me at level 1. So I signed in with Facebook and it started me in the 4000 levels, missing almost all my boosts and progress. I’m so frustrated!
- [R110] Angry Birds POP! Fix this issue!!!: I love this game but as of about a week ago the game won't load properly! I got an email saying to click The link and report the issue and then it says how to fix it by opening the game but the problem is it won't load! Someone needs to fix this! All other angry birds games play fine but I want pop
- [R27] Angry Birds Dream Blast Fun and child friendly: I enjoy they game. I love that the ads are short and that they are kid safe. So many games have vulgar ads and ads for bad games. I’m deep in the game now like level 2385 and I purchased one package deal. Other than that I’ve never spent money on the game. I love the side quests as well. I’m occasionally frustrated because the order of operations changes when they want y
