  1. [R5] Marble Master 5/5 · US Team opportunities: Love the game would be great to see development on teams so that there could be co-leaders so multiple people could manage teams etc.
  2. [R19] Marble Master 1/5 · US Boring: The levels are too easy and way too short. Waste of time. I deleted it after 20 minutes of play. Also the developer likes to harass you if you leave a 1 star review. But here is the real reason I hated the game. They are trying too hard to make this game fun with all the bells and whistles and the pop ups are annoying trying to get you to buy add ons. First off the game is too easy and sho
  3. [R20] Marble Master 5/5 · US Buen juego: Es un buen juego de dificultad media, lo cual me gusta mucho porque lo uso para distraerme y no me estresa con dificultad alta se dificulta pasar las etapas en algunos juegos es casi imposible, eso no sucede con este! lo recomiendo.
  4. [R29] Marble Master 5/5 · US Marble Master: Marble master is a pretty cool Game it’s very relaxing and it’s a peaceful and mellow game that you can get very addicted to very fast. I will give this game of recommend a five out of five and I think y’all should play it as well.
  5. [R4] Marble Master 1/5 · US If you like to watch ads: Seriously I like the game but oh my, the ads. And I’m not talking just occasional, after EVERY game and some ads are 3-5 minutes. Other games I play may be a 30 second ad…not this one. I end up losing points because as soon as I finish a game, I close out just so I won’t have to watch another ad. Great game but the ads are killing it for me.
  6. [R6] Marble Master 3/5 · US Will update later if fixed: Literally cannot play the game because of the ads that WILL NOT CLOSE. I understand the need for ads, but recently I am getting the ads that let you play the game for a bit and then open the App Store. The problem is they won’t close after. There’s no way to exit aside from closing the game entirely. Which is a problem
  7. [R7] Marble Master 1/5 · US ADS, ADS & ADS!!!!: Uninstalling this app right now. TOO MANY ADDS. 1 or 2 adds every level you pass. That make the game impossible to enjoy and play….
  8. [R9] Marble Master 3/5 · US Good game but too many side events: Game is fun but there are too many things you have to click thru when getting into the game. You have to tell the marsh quest to go away, a bunch of random events when I’m just trying to play the game idc about some stupid marsh quest
  9. [R22] Marble Master 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The game conveniently freezes on you when you’re making progress.
  10. [R30] Marble Master 3/5 · US Ads galore: I deleted this app when I found myself spending more time watching ads than playing the game. It didn’t start out that way so it was fun for a while. Especially bad after a recent update. Ads are also repetitive and annoying . I’m never going to download royal match and the cartoon makeover ones make me think they were created by a predator.
  11. [R39] Marble Master 3/5 · US Ads: I have been playing this game for well over a year now and the latest update caused ads. That really sucks that’s was the reason I continued playing this game was because it was truly an ad free game. Guess I will move on to a new game.
  12. [R3] Marble Master 3/5 · US Limited time add free: I paid eventually for a deal that included add free but I only enjoyed it for what seemed like a month now the adds are back so that’s annoying it’s a monthly cost for add free, other games it’s a one time fee I dont know why this one is different but now I know
  13. [R10] Marble Master 1/5 · US Grrr: Installed this app three days ago. The first two days were fun. Today, there is an ad break between each level, and the level takes far less than a minute to play. If this isn’t more ad time than play time, it’s too close for me. Bye.
  14. [R62] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Fun however expensive.: Game is fun but limited support. I buy land and cannot put new items on it to expand the farm. Contacted support with numerous questions. Haven’t heard back. Get your wallet ready to play this game. You need KEYS for everything and you have to buy them as they are not rewarded.
  15. [R88] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Scam game: This game is a scam. So many glitches in the event inside this game is ridiculous. I completed a task for the boat race and it shows I didn’t complete the task. I reached out to support and that was a joke. What they said they were gonna do and what they did was totally different things. They said they would fix the issue and make it right they did not do thatbeing ghosted. 1000% do not
  16. [R94] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Update Glitch: Since the recent update, I have been unable to receive the bonuses associated with winning the cruise ship event. Additionally, the Global and Buddies Club Buy Goods section does not appear to be functioning properly. The area often fails to load, requiring me to repeatedly exit and re-enter before any items appear. Even when items do load, they are consistently marked as "Sold Out.
  17. [R13] Marble Master 1/5 · US Worst Game Ever: Do not download this game. It’s the worst game ever. There’s a commercial after everything and they forced it on you. There’s more commercials than game.
  18. [R63] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Special Events!!!: I am about ready to delete this game! I enjoy playing it but they make it so hard (without spending money) to complete the special events! Your not guaranteed a needed item when completing a craft BUT the game should not give you random items 3 to 4 times or more in a row when it is so hard to make the items needed to hopefully get the needed item!!! I have wasted too much ti
  19. [R64] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Event: How do you want us to complete the event when we wait a hour at the rainforest trail and don’t get any coconuts? I won’t use keys or real money
  20. [R76] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Harder to play well unless you spend money: They have really tightened things up
