  1. [R1] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Greed greed greed: A plethora of things to pay for and still has the audacity to charge around $15 for the ability to turn ads off. This is greed at its most foul.
  2. [R10] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Click three time watch ad: 100% a watch ad farm. Click three times and watch an ad over and over. If you like ads it is good.

  4. [R16] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Ad Factory: The game is practically unplayable with how many ad pop ups there are. Absolutely insane. Not even a game but a money grab.
  5. [R4] Idle Bubbles Cannon 2/5 · US Unexpected upgrade spam: Basically while I was upgrading my yellow cannon, a gift came down at my cursor and at the same frame time, it spawned some gold for an ad, but while I was seeing it, it was spamming my upgrade I was supposed to upgrade five times on block Lv 62. That’s how I lost my 4m gold. Developers if you’re reading this you should make those gifts go below the upgrade bar if there i

  7. [R7] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Stars Dissapearing: Had over 30 billion stars ,closed the app went back to the game and had 13 billion stars. Happens way too often
  8. [R13] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US A Bugged Game and Terrible Customer Service!: About a year ago, I noticed a bug that was causing some of the badges earned in challenges to not be applied to the cannons. These badges make the cannons more powerful, so it is frustrating to have my rewards go to waste. I emailed the app support about this to let them know of the problem, and I never heard anything back, even though I specifically
  9. [R9] Idle Bubbles Cannon 3/5 · US This is a good app but where’s the upgrade buttons: Also I’m on a iPad
  10. [R18] Idle Bubbles Cannon 3/5 · US Not for iPad: I can’t buy any upgrades when I play on my iPad so it gets really annoying to try and enjoy the game when I’m only level two and there’s no way I can improve that can you please update to where the settings can let you have a center mode where the screen will be slightly smaller so that way you don’t have to struggle trying to upgrade stuff
  11. [R21] Idle Bubbles Cannon 3/5 · US Terrible support for ipad.: This game seems fun, but I can’t play it. The screen is half a black bar, and all the upgrade buttons are hidden below the screen, Making the game unplayable! Please fix this.
  12. [R24] Idle Bubbles Cannon 3/5 · US 3 stars: The reason why its 3 stars is that theres a glitch on ipad that make it so theres no shop and full screen please fix this
  13. [R12] Idle Bubbles Cannon 3/5 · US Most recent update broke the game 2/10/23: Game was working fine on iPhone 13 until the most recent update. It now crashes repeatedly within 4-5 seconds of opening the app. Restart device and reinstall app has not fixed issue. Would love for this to be fixed
  14. [R28] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Touch doesn’t work: No matter where I tap game doesn’t respond at all every game works but not this one
  15. [R34] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US No longer works: Used to play this game all the time but it no longer opens- just immediately crashes every time I try. Total bummer bc I was getting pretty far in it
  16. [R19] Idle Bubbles Cannon 1/5 · US Scammed 10$ out of me: I spent 10$ on the gems and the pack, twice. 4.99$ each, and it didn’t give me anything. devs please refund me, or i’ll attempt to sue.
  17. [R42] Idle Bubbles Cannon 4/5 · US Amazing but price issues: Really good game but so for everything that cost real money for star multipliers are all prized over its by like let’s say the two stars and pretty sure is three dollars but the $50 is lower it’s $49 so have you done that on purpose and just why is that?
  18. [R52] Bubble Shooter 5/5 · US Fun Game: I like the game.
  19. [R54] Bubble Shooter 1/5 · US Horrible: Unless you pay to not have ads this game is horrible. An ad pops up every game, while you’re playing the game SHEIN kept redirecting me to their website in the middle of me playing. The worst money hungry game I’ve ever played.
  20. [R55] Bubble Shooter 4/5 · US Fun: Passes time when your bored
  21. [R57] Bubble Shooter 1/5 · US Ads are ridiculous: I understand you need ads, but this is absurd to be in the middle of a game, and it cuts out MULTIPLE times to go to a Shein page. Not worth it.
  22. [R69] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 4/5 · US Four star: Super fun to play. Distracts me when I’m sick and makes sure to make every level harder but not to hard.
  23. [R72] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US So fun I play this every day: Best part is if you’re patient about playing the hard and super hard rounds and keep trying, the game seems to lower the challenge level eventually (at least to me). Otherwise I would have deleted it. Patience = $0. I love the new mini games too. I only wish the Tidy Mart one lasted longer since it has so many moves and you have to earn a lot of gloves. Even playing
  24. [R75] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Bubble pop!!!: So good when you need to have a rest . It’s calm too and no skill needed!
  25. [R78] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Twice the fun.: Fun and challenging!
  26. [R80] Ballz 5/5 · US Amazing Game: Balls
  27. [R81] Ballz 3/5 · US Just change these 2 things: The game is a good game and trophy hunt is fun there is just 2 big problems with trophy hunt. 1. It resets your streak that you build up if you close the app and you have to start all over again. 2. The event only happens every once in a while and the clock on the left is totally useless and doesn’t tell you anything, it should be the event happens every other day.
  28. [R82] Ballz 1/5 · US To many ads: I played 1 game. It lasted 2 minutes after I downloaded it. I got a long add I couldn’t skip right after. I wasn’t even at the home menu yet. Deleted.
  29. [R83] Ballz 5/5 · US Still won’t load: Just updated on June 26, game still won’t load
  30. [R93] Balls Control 2/5 · US Used to be good: I’ve played this on and off for a year. Now I can’t seem to watch ads to activate boosts or to collect chests after rounds.
  31. [R94] Balls Control 5/5 · US Idiotic dev team broke the ad system: I feel like walking in a ghost town playing this game, but anyways, the ad provider got shut down and they’re not getting paid for it! So you can just play ad free now, it’s amazing.
  32. [R95] Balls Control 3/5 · US Lost progress: Love this one But i lost my progress And it was a lot Connected to Game Center, all my achievements remained but the game itself was completely reset Please fix
  33. [R96] Balls Control 1/5 · US 3 ad’s per second: sounds impossible right? Nope. You have 2 seconds of gameplay upon boot up before it pelts you with demands of 5 star reviews and 30second ad’s. Disgusting
  34. [R108] Idle Grass Cutter 5/5 · US +5 years: Yo I’ve been waiting years for the next ‘level 20’ update.. where’s it at 😂🙏🏼
  35. [R109] Idle Grass Cutter 3/5 · US needs new updates: its fun i need new updates though
  36. [R111] Idle Grass Cutter 5/5 · US Honestly amazing and no ads: I’m honestly enjoying this game. It’s simple easy but best part no ads. Only thing I wish was that there was more to do. Also a hold to buy instead of tapping every time you buy something it sucks when you get higher progression
  37. [R112] Idle Grass Cutter 3/5 · US Too easy to finish…: No update since upload to store… nice game, but <wham> you reach the end of grass. Why have an ending in a game without levels???
  38. [R103] Balls Control 5/5 · US I love this game: I played it when it was still on the android App Store, but when I switched to apple this was one of the first things I installed. After you get to a certain point the ads stop. Though, I’m having issues with the game crashing suddenly when you get past level 100 on the main world. Other than that, it’s great!
  39. [R114] Idle Grass Cutter 4/5 · US Good game: I like the game and I don't receive adds anymore and Ive played for years but I was wondering if there's ever going to be an update again? Like new fields and drones. Even if there isn't one it's still a pretty good game none the less not adds anymore and is pretty good when it comes to idle games
  40. [R62] Bubble Shooter 3/5 · US just a simple game to pass the time 😑: i used to play this game a lot, but it gets tedious real fast and you have to be living an extremely dull & boring life to be playjng this game 24/7. however, if your a parent who needs help with finding harmless entertainment for your children… this game is a reccomend on That Part. otherwise, this game really ain’t much. one pro is that this app never crash
  41. [R98] Balls Control 3/5 · US Good game but has a few minor glitches!: I love this game and use to play it several years ago. It was a good game to just relax and wind down but then I got to where I didn’t play it as much! Now I downloaded it again yesterday and for some reason I don’t get to collect any of my coins at the end of each level and I never get to double my coins from being offline! I can’t use any of the add-on ex
