  2. [R23] Merge and Dig 5/5 · US Fun but needs more levels: Games great and enjoyable for passing time but seriously needs more levels and things to unlock. Level 2107 and there’s nothing more to do besides drop.
  3. [R62] Merge Dragons! 5/5 · US I love merge dragons!!!!!!!!: I enjoy playing merge dragons! in my free time but one thing that could improve is the length of the events other then that I love it and recommend playing it
  4. [R67] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Pissing me off: It’s WAAAYYY too easy to accidentally merge things. I’ll just be trying to pick something up and somehow merge something I’ve been working on a hour on to get 5 1s 5 2s 5 3 and so on. Just for it to rob me each time. It’s literally WAYYYYYY to freaking common. This is why i continuously delete the game. Yall need to fix this cuz people are wasting hours planning merges just for th
  5. [R1] Merge and Dig 1/5 · US It won’t start: It won’t let me play it
  6. [R4] Merge and Dig 1/5 · US Broken: Try to start the game and it just sits there on a black screen just saying loading, game will not load up :/
  7. [R70] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Not receiving ad rewards: The game gives you options to watch an ad to receive a reward. The ads always play when you press watch, but you don’t always get your reward. I would try to report this in game support but I can’t even find a way to contact the game because the support button just gives you a bunch of articles.
  8. [R85] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Tired of crashes: I am tired of crashes that make your accomplishments disappear. I am rage quitting and uninstalling.
  9. [R55] Merge and Dig 1/5 · US Started crashing: Worked before and now crashes constantly, deleting progress in the process.
  10. [R69] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Lost progress so unstable: gamr istself is fun，but so ubstabke，lost progress everywhere！it means what u hv done is nothing，so why we play？just wasting time
  11. [R118] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US No support lots of bugs: They give you impossible tasks and don’t respond to service queries or bug fixes. Played this game for years and this review won’t change until the bugs stop
  12. [R3] Merge and Dig 3/5 · US Ads: Tons of ads
  13. [R10] Merge and Dig 1/5 · US Ad every 30 seconds: Completely unplayable with an ad after every round so annoying don’t download
  14. [R63] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Gg: A genuinely good game if you can get past the micro transactions!
  15. [R91] Merge Dragons! 2/5 · US I really like the game but: I really like the game but it seems you can’t get anywhere without spending money. The more gems you have the stuff goes up so you have to buy more gems. I’ve been playing for about 10 years now steady. I’ve gotten nowhere to myself anyways.
  16. [R88] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Lost Years of Progress: I’ve been playing Merge for about 6-7 years. I got a new phone and now the new phones progress is years behind. I’m about to give up as I’ve reached out to support with no luck. Being loyal gets you nothing!
