1. [R5] Angry Birds Journey 5/5 · US Fun: Fun game w few annoying commercials.
2. [R11] Angry Birds Journey 5/5 · US The best angry bird game ever: This was so much fun
3. [R78] Angry Birds Hatchlings 3/5 · US Going downhill: This game was quite enjoyable when I first downloaded it several years ago. The ads were minimal, showing only when the player wanted extra plays. In most instances, the ability to speed up the program by tapping the screen between game board scenes has been removed. More advertising has recently been added. It’s annoying. I wish there was an option to purchase the game outright.
4. [R102] Angry Birds Hatchlings 3/5 · US More ads?!?: This has been my go-to “relax and turn my brain off for 15 minutes at a go” game for YEARS! Literally, years. There’s always been the option to watch ads to get three more moves on a level or to get a power up. Optional. But now there are starting to be ads when a level is completed. Not optional. NOT COOL. My rating went from 5 stars to 3.
5. [R9] Angry Birds Journey 3/5 · US Game gets stuck: Too many glitches. I’m trying to claim my reward and the game freezes. I can’t go forward or get out of the screen. I had to get completely out of the app. This is not an isolated occurrence.
6. [R19] Angry Birds Journey 1/5 · US No longer fun: I’m at a level around 5200. It’s become impossible to win most levels without using a power up, coins, or both. All they want is your $9.99 to gain extra coins, snowflakes, ducks, and flowers. There’s also a bug that won’t allow me to use my extra bird option. The game freezes and I have to turn off my iPhone to restart the game. What a greedy, ripoff.
7. [R61] Angry Birds Hatchlings 1/5 · US 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.
8. [R73] Angry Birds Hatchlings 1/5 · US Freezes all the time: What used to be one of my favorite games is nothing but a headache as it freezes every time I start to play. There’s been two updates since this started and neither of them have fixed the problem. It even locks up my phone while it’s freezing. If the next update doesn’t address this problem that may be the end of my playing this game.
9. [R16] Angry Birds Journey 1/5 · US Buggy: App crashes when I go to watch an ad for an extra bird and I have to close the app and start over. Frustrating. Not the first time in recent history they have broke this game :/
10. [R37] Angry Birds Journey 2/5 · US Newest update - terrible: As of 5/23/23 the newest update is awful. It’s just about impossible to win a round without using your accrued snowflakes, ducks and flowers. The game is rigged, because they want you to make purchases, which I absolutely will never do for a game. As of 10/25/25 this game just shuts off. You can’t reach their support team. I told the kids just give up because of how rigge
11. [R85] Angry Birds Hatchlings 1/5 · US Crashes & Freezes: This used to be my go to game, but it crashes & freezes a lot these days, which means you lose “high level bonuses” consistently. Do not pay money to this game. It is no longer fun.
12. [R93] Angry Birds Hatchlings 3/5 · US LOVED THIS GAME UNTIL: Recently. I’ve been playing this game for probably close to a decade and have loved it. It’s fun and a great way to unwind. But for the past 3 weeks, every time I try to play, it freezes my entire phone and when it finally unfreezes, I have to force close the app and any progress I’ve made(if any) is lost. Despite numerous back and forth with customer service and doing every
13. [R20] Angry Birds Journey 5/5 · US Underrated: This game is not as bad as people make it out to be. Keep up the amazing passion, heart and effort into these games.
14. [R106] Angry Birds Hatchlings 1/5 · US Disappointed: After 8 plus years of playing and not needing to invest a penny to play the game has now become almost impossible to beat a level without spending money!! My deletion of this game is closer than ever before!!!
15. [R97] Angry Birds Hatchlings 1/5 · US Greedy: Getting to greedy
16. [R3] Angry Birds Journey 3/5 · US 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.
17. [R107] Angry Birds Hatchlings 4/5 · US Needs improvement and bugs fixed: Please fix the constant bugs and issues. This used to be my top go to game because I love the birds and all the characters. Currently issues over the last few months and currently after updating game won’t even load.
18. [R1] Angry Birds Journey 1/5 · US 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
