  1. [R5] 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.
  2. [R8] 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
  3. [R14] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Twice the fun.: Fun and challenging!
  4. [R9] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Love it, but why the change?: I have enjoyed this game for a long time, but the removal of the spinning wheel and the chance to earn ways to help with the game, is confusing. How can we now do that? Please return the spinning wheel!
  5. [R11] 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!
  6. [R41] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US It’s good 4 those times u just need something 2 do: This is relaxing but it takes sum strategy is required
  7. [R38] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 4/5 · US Instructions?: The game started off very simply, but I couldn’t find instructions on how to use any of the bonus balls/boosters, so progress has been hit or miss, literally
  8. [R4] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Deleted: Fun game until the ads start. The adds are longer than the game sessions. Joke!
  9. [R40] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Disappointed.: If you get to a certain level Or points the game will freeze and you either have to start over or quit.
  10. [R45] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Fun game but buggy: Fun game but when it freezes unexpectedly which it does fairly often, you will lose your current rewards, and your current place during competitions, and lose your super beam if you have one. I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for that. But this has been a persistent problem for years that hasn’t been fixed. The developers need to reinstate the player when this happens but they
  11. [R51] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Frozen Ads Annoying: Very addictive enjoyable game, however ads that freeze and cause you to lose achievements you’ve worked to earn are annoying, happens way to often
  12. [R13] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Restart from level 1: I had to delete all apps and restart all apps from phone, I only play 4 games. All but this game downloaded to where I left off. I was over level 4000 when this happened!!! I am Babi down to level 1 for the second time on this phone!!
  13. [R3] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US This game cheats: Sucks up your money whenever you’re ahead
  14. [R6] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Money grab: Play until they make you pay then move on. Same as all the other bubble games.
  15. [R30] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Fun but limited without paying: I’ve enjoyed this game. It is a challenge and interesting however, after about 500 rounds, it’s obvious that you must pay in order to continue any further as the puzzles become impossible without extra paid for weapons.
  16. [R33] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Bubble Pop: Lousy bubble pop is too bad for freebys
  17. [R1] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Reposting because review was deleted: Not sure what happened to my original review? I got a response, came here and found no review so I am reposting. Their Customer Service treated me very rudely simply for inquiring about some clarity for their newest event. They talked down to me and came off extremely condescending. Not to mention that this is replacing spinning the wheel for multiple prizes n
  18. [R56] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Addicting: Great customer service: I had an issue with the game and reached out at first there was an issue and then they looked further into the problem and found there was no violation and issued my coin’s all in less then 24hrs. Highly recommend…
  19. [R94] Bubbles Empire Champions 1/5 · US Sassysandy 33: Can’t advance past 4175 or bubble quest because of multiple freezing ads. No response to request on help. Guess the only option is to delete.
  20. [R18] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Too many ads!: You get to a point where it is impossible to finish a level without watching multiple ads. Even more annoying are the ads that freeze or bait and switch with the close “x” taking you to a web site.
  21. [R42] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Good game but: Entirely way too many ads. Forced ads to continue. Spent 75% of game time watching these ads
  22. [R66] Bubbles Empire Champions 3/5 · US Ads are extreme: Draft kings ad more than a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would ads last longer than 15sec? If, in 15 sec, I want more info I can watch longer or download. How many games are downloaded because we see more than 15sec?
  23. [R19] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Do not update: I wished I had never updated this game. Every time I update this game on any of my devices, I always lose coins or the ability to gain coins. when this game first come out for every 10 games that you won, they gave you coins. The extra powers that they gave in the last update brings absolutely nothing to your game Be sure to spin the wheel for 10 coins
  24. [R79] Bubbles Empire Champions 2/5 · US Challenging: I have played this game for quite a while and found that stupid message popped up that you could no longer save your game to Facebook and you had to change… It took me to a level. I’ve never been to 10,000 or something and I’m still down at 1600 or I was, I can’t find my team while I can find them, but I can’t get back on my team. I even see my name there, but I still can’t access my
  25. [R65] Bubbles Empire Champions 4/5 · US Long time player love it but frustrated.: I have been playing for years and love the game. I am at level 11650 now. Here recently I have become frustrated with it locking up more here lately and it is constantly restoring now. Since it is not connected to a stable saving method I am constantly being kicked out of the the teams I have joined. I even started a team to see if it helped but instea
  26. [R82] Bubbles Empire Champions 1/5 · US Game kicks you out of teams: I have been enjoying the is game for quite some time. It appears as though if you join a group and are active, playing 5-8 times a day, helping team mates and being active in events. The game will remove you from teams. I have tried this with several teams of various sizes and changing my activity the result have been the same. This is fairly new as I have been playing
  27. [R88] Bubbles Empire Champions 2/5 · US Teams Failing: Love the app and have played it for years, but at some point something happened and it’s kicks me off of the team I joined every day. I tried to circumvent this by starting my own team, and got kicked off that team too. The catch is every time I rejoin a team, my name is still listed as on that team. At one point my name was listed 5 times on one team. This needs to be fixed. It’s a
  28. [R97] Bubbles Empire Champions 2/5 · US ???: What’s going on? Been playing for years ( love it) and all of a sudden everything has gone haywire. Getting bumped out of our teams. Join other groups and getting bumped again. What’s happening???
