  1. [R2] Merge Matters 4/5 · US Forgotten: I like this game, I’ve had it for a couple years now, but there’s been no updates in over a year. I feel like they’ve given up or forgotten about this game. You guys are still getting downloads and still have players, pleaseee update it!!!!!!! 4 stars cause we want more
  2. [R3] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Has become boring: I used to love this game. All sorts of tasks to complete with different rewards but for the last couple of months all I get are ? Tasks that take FOREVER to complete because I only have one tree and no way to earn or win another one. I understand higher rewards take more time but having nothing else to work on make it boring. I literally use it for 30 sec a couple times a day a
  3. [R9] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Help: Does anyone still play this game? I loved this game, but I’m at level 38 and I get no new tasks and I don’t even get the extra challenges on different boards. I hate to give up on it, but there’s nothing to do anymore.
  4. [R15] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Review: Dislike constantly having to go back to the “story”.
  5. [R1] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Love the game but: I love the game, but I’m noticing that sometimes it takes way longer for energy to replenish lately. This is the third time I’ve played the game, come back 6 hours later and I’m only at 50 percent energy. And generators aren’t producing items as much. It spits out three items and then you’re waiting for it to recharge.
  6. [R6] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Can barely use a producer before it needs a recharge: It takes FORVER to accomplish any task because the producers need to be recharged so frequently. And the pop up bubbles get the way constantly. Too many ads.
  7. [R7] Merge Matters 1/5 · US No rewards for playing a long time: Unlike merge mansion, which rewards the player for staying with it, I can have the highest level of a generator and it takes FOREVER to get anything. Please look at other merge games and make it less of a grind
  8. [R10] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Very frustrating: You get to the point where the board is filled with parts of producers. The tasks become so ridiculous that it takes weeks to complete. I am tired of this.
  9. [R11] Merge Matters 5/5 · US Honest review: I have no complaints about this game, it’s honestly a very fun game!. I just don’t like how many ads there are. But good game!. I recommend it!.
  10. [R12] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Ok but still trying to rip you off. **Update 4/4/24: I like that I’m not seeing a billion ads nor trying to get me to make in app purchases every five minutes. Dislikes, the cost of gems, coins, etc is too high as it doesn’t validate the value of the items you are purchasing. So many jewels to speed up and then you only get one item after said speed up. It’s a waste. If you want us to spend money
  11. [R21] Merge Matters 3/5 · US One major flaw: This game is almost addictive but there is one major flaw that has me so irritated I may stop playing. The bubbles. Omg the bubbles of items are beyond annoying. I get they aren’t as bad as other games that take up a slot, but you can’t get rid of them without either paying the gems, watching a video, or waiting. I just want the option to pop and remove because it blocks me seeing
  12. [R16] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Omg!: Why does this app keep glitching and kicking me out? I used to love this game.
  13. [R24] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Great game, but …: I am having to reinstall the game several times a day because the option to load an ad for rewards is greyed out. Also it’s been 10 months since the last update. Other than these two issues, this game is fun to play and is probably my favorite. Edit: so the developer says that the ads availability depends on the ad network and hopes for my understanding. Why are they shifting
  14. [R48] Merge Matters 3/5 · US Missing items: I finished a task with the flowers and when I clicked to complete the task the game froze and I got out of the app and went back in and the flowers were gone and the task was never completed. I know this because the other item is still there. Can this be fixed?
  15. [R49] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Untrustworthy Company; Scams Users: Beware of this developer. They scam their users out of paid-for rewards. I have been trying to talk to support for weeks to get compensation for purchases that were not awarded because of game bugs, and they just straight up ignore me. I’m disputing with Apple now, but users beware. I wouldn’t ever purchase from GreenPixel. @the Developer Response: I already di
  16. [R61] Mergedom 2/5 · US Used to be fun, overtaken by ads: I used to play this game often but these days it has SO MANY ad interruptions, can’t listen to my podcasts while I play, plays the SAME stupid ad over and over every 5 minutes or so… I rarely play it now and when I do I usually switch to another game out of frustration over the ad overkill. Oh, and don’t forget the ads every 2 minutes that force open other apps. S
  17. [R80] Mergedom 4/5 · US Either Way, If You Play You [Will] Have to Pay…: (Diabolical.) Either with your money, or your time - which they make money off of via ads. A Lot of ads, and the Long ones at that. To the point where I almost feel like they make more money off that than purchases. And mind you, I paid for the no-ad feature so I don’t even know how prevalent ads are for the free version. I can only imagine. To b
  18. [R31] Merge Matters 2/5 · US Too many ads: There are far too many ads to actually enjoy playing.
  19. [R46] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Too many ads: Fun game if you didn’t have to watch hundreds of ads to play . The main items only drop ONE item and take hours to reload again unless you watch an ad everytime. I don’t want to spend my whole day watching ads will be deleting.
  20. [R52] Merge Matters 1/5 · US Ads and bubbles: If you like a game that is ridden with ads and constant bubble popups that make it annoying as can be to play the game, this is for you
  21. [R18] Merge Matters 3/5 · US WAS fun… now not so much: The game was fun, then it just died off. There’s been no new updates, and I’ve been stuck in the same endless pursuit of one item for months, in hopes that there’s more after. I’m on the verge of deleting it. Not cool, I wanted to see where the story went.
  22. [R62] Mergedom 5/5 · US Mergedom: Home Design: I generally don’t like merge games. However, the decorating makes it more interesting.
  23. [R74] Mergedom 4/5 · US So cute and fun: ℹ like the idea of designing rooms as the reward for making orders..just wish I knew where to spend my coin?
  24. [R77] Mergedom 5/5 · US Awesome game!: This is by far the best merge game I have ever played! I tried this thru another game, so I could earn points for the other game- and got completely hooked! It’s challenging and makes sense! I don’t generally like ‘match/merge games, but this one is awesome!
  25. [R83] Mergedom 4/5 · US Home design emerge: The game is great. The only issue I have is the blocks are very small, but it keeps you going and it’s fun to decorate the rooms.
