- [R9] Minion Rush Miss the old times [DEVS PLEASE READ]: Please I’d like the devs to read this I used to love this game a lot and didn’t mind the ads. Then the so called “revamp” happened with the newer movie being implemented into the game and it kinds of ruined it for me. Costumes don’t have built in power ups anymore, the power ups got replaced with still effective but not as fun ones (RIP evil minion, big minio
- [R10] Minion Rush Still mourning the old version: It has been over a year since the revamp of the app and I still mourn the old version. I used to play this game every night but now I pick it up once every few months and play it for 5 mins and just get sad that it isn’t what it used to be. Years ago I would’ve easily rated it 5 stars but now I’m giving it 2. I considered 1 but added one for old times sake. It feels
- [R49] Minion Rush The mighty have fallen: It is so incredibly frustrating because this used to be THE game. I remember I spent hours trying to succeed in this game. Then you all updated it and it is completely different. I dislike it so much now honestly. I wish you would bring back the old game with the levels. It felt like something you had to achieve. Now you run and run, but for what? New outfits. So incredibly
- [R69] Magic Tiles 3™ Fun but...: This game is fun and has almost any genre of music you could think of. But there are WAAAAY too many ads. Unless you get V.I.P (which costs money) just so you're not interrupted by useless ads.
- [R1] Minion Rush Bugs: Anytime I try to watch an add to revive myself the add specifically Pokémon tci add gets stuck and I lose all my progress because I have to close the app out it’s frustrating especially if I’m doing a mission and have to restart over and over can this be fixed?
- [R6] Minion Rush Good game but issue with Ads: I love the game but every time a ad comes on and it gives the option to close the ad and get back to the game, it doesn’t work. I have restarted the game and even uninstalled it, but it does not fix the issue. Pls fix this.
- [R12] Minion Rush What the ad dude: This game used to be something me and my son always chose but to even check inventory you have to watch an ad. The ads are ridiculous and they’re not the quick ads. They are linked the ads. I’m talking minute minute and 30 second ads.
- [R63] Magic Tiles 3™ What i would like them to change: I would LOVE them to change the fact of when you click on the app and then there are a billion things that you have to close to access they game there are to many little things that are not needed and others wise i like the game though
- [R7] Minion Rush Longtime player VERY disappointed!: I’ve played for YEARS and have gone throughout about 4 complete game overhauls. Every update for the last 6 months or so has been garbage. I’ve lost tokens, puzzle pieces, airplanes, level advances, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. I’ve gone into support chat and begged for fixes to ads crashing game with no saved progress, but I don’t even have to be in a room playing to b
- [R13] Minion Rush Not loading: Every time I open your game it doesn’t want to load. Ever since I have updated this app it has not worked. I have deleted it and re loaded the app. It is still not loading. I do love running the minions! If when I delete and reinstall the app and it still has loading problems it will be permanently deleted from my iPad. 😤😡🤬
- [R66] Magic Tiles 3™ a question for the developers…also a review (updated): The actual gameplay here is awesome, but the sheer volume of ads completely ruins the experience. I get how the business model works, more ads equal more revenue, and putting an ad after almost every song is a clear strategy to frustrate players into buying the VIP subscription. But honestly? It doesn’t work on me, and most players aren't falli
- [R4] Minion Rush I do not like it at all: When I first got it, I was like oh my God there was so many ads and then when I got this new update it was really fun but as it just cause you hit something you die and then you have to like start the course all over I kinda like it when I first got it but there’s so many ads. My brother likes it, but I don’t. He plays it all the time he’s on my iPad, if you have this game
- [R46] Minion Rush Fun game but WAY too many ads: I had a lot of fun playing the game, but there are so many ads it’s absurd. Not only do you get an ad every time you loose, but you often get up to a 1 minute ad just for exiting different pages on the home menu. Doesn’t help when it’s takes 2 minutes just to open the app itself.
- [R70] Magic Tiles 3™ Unskippable ads: The game offers you songs but you need to watch ads for them every single ad you watch, you can’t skip it that way you will never get other songs even if I had turned my phone on airplane mode. It still gives me unskippable ads. The only way that you can really get songs is that you need to buy a VIP pass this is so rigged and bad.
