  1. [R1] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Feels like it cheats you!: The shooter often won’t shoot when it will be good for you. Bought a package that included 6 hours of “lives”, the shooter will not shoot. Tried restarting, tried resetting….the game won’t work. I got totally ripped off!
  2. [R3] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Fun game, bad update: It was a fun game but after the recent update the marble colors changed from bright to pale and some patterns were added on marbles so it’s really hard to see if it’s a regular marble or a magic one.. I stopped playing it.
  3. [R5] Viola’s Quest 4/5 · US Landscape Orientation: What happened to playing the game landscape? It’s only portrait.
  4. [R6] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Only Portrait Mode?: Please give us the option of playing in portrait OR landscape mode!
  5. [R4] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Glitches and can’t earn high points: I’ve been playing this game for quite some time; on level 517. This game, especially recently, has been glitching so much it has become almost impossible to beat hard levels without having to use some type of boost which for some people you might have to spend money. Also, after you beat a certain amount of levels it is almost physically impossible to earn high
  6. [R11] Viola’s Quest 4/5 · US Too much fancy changes: I love this game & have been playing it for years but the latest update is disturbing to the eyes. The new design of the balls are too fancy & everything almost look the same.
  7. [R12] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Not In Love Anymore: I use to love this game. But now I can only play it vertical. And sometimes the shots aren’t aligned to when I shoot on the phone. Or it jerks. I also hate that as we move on to more levels it gets more and more difficult and takes days or weeks to complete. Not enough free rewinds or tools to use to be able to beat. I’ve had to delete it to see if the horizontal version wo
  8. [R2] Viola’s Quest 4/5 · US Recent update glitch: I love this game. I’ve had a few issues & contacted customer service & they were quickly resolved. I just want to let the app ppl know there is definitely some big glitches in the recent update. Most disappointingly when you break a chain, the end keeps moving instead of waiting for the chain to catch up. Resulting in game loss.
  9. [R22] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Stuck game: When the lives are over, the game sticks. Major pain. Stays on the screen and is stuck. Hate losing this game, but it doesn’t work anymore.
  10. [R38] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US The ad for this game: Literally commits vandalism on your device. First I have sound turned off for ads, the ad for this not only turns ON your sound (with no way of muting it, like other more polite ads do) *IT KEEPS PLAYING EVEN AFTER THE AD IS OVER!* you literally have to CLOSE THE PROGRAM THAT WAS RUNNING TO MAKE IT STOP! UNACCEPTABLE. Fix it now! Update: the music *STILL* continues after the
  11. [R16] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Seriously thinking about deleting: This has been one of my favorite “unwind” games but I’ve been stuck on the same level for weeks. I hate the new interface & it’s harder & harder to get boosts to help with hard levels. I won’t pay & I used to be able to get by with videos but not any more. I wish you would switch things back.
  12. [R51] Marble Woka Woka 1/5 · US Ads have taken over: Great game but the advertisements now rule this game. They won’t close so you watch a five minute ad and then don’t get the reward (which costs you power ups that you can’t get back). The progress bar on the ad starts fast then slows. Constant issues with game crashing and it will speed up when you are about to win. I’ve been complaining about the ads for months and the re
  13. [R56] Marble Woka Woka 3/5 · US Crashing: Ever since I removed and cleared the cache on the advise of the app help, it crashes every time I try to open it. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading several times. It won’t even let me get to the demo. It crashes right after it’s done “loading”. Please help. This is my favorite game to play and I’m so sad
  14. [R15] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Could be better: I loved this game when I was able to rotate my phone so it was landscape. After one of the updates a while ago that stopped being able to happen. I also have to click through so many ads in order to actually play levels.
  15. [R17] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Fun game but too many events: I like the game but there are constantly like 3 events or whatever happening so every time I try I open the game I have to tap through at least 10 different pop ups walking me through the various levels and prizes and blahblahblah and I just want to play the game. There’s no way to just quickly skip through all the info pop ups. I’d play a lot more often if there were
  16. [R36] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US DON’T DOWNLOAD: This game is garbage among other choice words. It cheats you out of wins time after time just so you spend money to beat the level and during the rune events it ALWAYS sets me back to levels I already previously beat! There’s so many pop up ads by the time you finally get in the game you no longer want to play. This game constantly makes me want to throw my phone, 10/10 DO NOT RECO
  17. [R8] Viola’s Quest 4/5 · US Favorite game, but hate some updates.: I have been playing this game for years and I love it! But I hate that portrait mode is now locked, makes it a little annoying as I was so used to playing it the other way for years. I also wish more levels could be dropped at once. Once they release, I finish them in just a few days and then I have to wait a month or so til new ones come out. I even tried to
  18. [R9] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Landscape: Love the game, but the new update is only in portrait view. Would be even better if you could play in both landscape and portrait. Very disappointed with it now!
  19. [R32] Viola’s Quest 2/5 · US New changes make it impossible: I’ve been playing this game for a while but with the new changes you can’t earn some of the special items anymore you have to pay for them. Several levels are so hard you have to have these special items to win. Unfortunately I’m going to be deleting the game as it’s no longer fun when you get stuck on a level for weeks and the only way to beat it is to spend money.
