  8. [R53] Block Crush 1/5 · US Strange during play: Strange unexpected screens pop up and cannot get back to the game.
  9. [R10] Block Crush 1/5 · US Bad Game: Go away don’t want to play your game. I was already playing a game and you popped up. Go away.
  10. [R61] Block Puzzle 1/5 · US Meta Ad: There’s a meta ad loading every time I open the app. I can’t close it. If I close and restart the app, same ad. Can’t close it. Wait for it to end. Still can’t close it. So I literally can’t actually open the game. Nice work. I hate it.
  11. [R6] Block Crush 3/5 · US Fun: But Too many & lengthy commercials
  12. [R7] Block Crush 1/5 · US Ads!!!: Way too many ads that are slow to move on
  13. [R9] Block Crush 3/5 · US Block 👀annoying ⚠️: INTERRUPTIONS SO AGGRIVATING⚠️☣️⛔️⚠️Not worth playing!!!
  14. [R12] Block Crush 3/5 · US Great game: Love the game but there are an incredible amount of ads. Which is very annoying when you’re in the mood to play a game. I can handle it easier if you could cut those ads back a little.

  16. [R33] Block Crush 3/5 · US I quit: If you do not STOP the insistent asking me to upgrade, I will stop playing your games altogether!
  17. [R36] Block Crush 3/5 · US Review: Please stop trying to update I like it as is.thank you for your service.
  18. [R19] Block Crush 2/5 · US Ad every 30 sec!!: Fun game, but had to delete it. Too many ads
  19. [R40] Block Crush 1/5 · US Fun game BUT: Way too to many ads as in one EVERY TIME you complete a level.😡👎🏼
  20. [R34] Block Crush 1/5 · US Ads Ads and more Ads: This would be a really terrific game, were it not for the ridiculous number of ads. And if you wish to remove the ads, it’s $30 a year. I have no problem spending a nominal amount for a game that I enjoy. I believe developers should reap the rewards of their creativity. But not only is $30 a bit much, if you sign up you’re signing up to an automatic renewal every year. That’s
  21. [R45] Block Crush 3/5 · US Where is the Ad Free version: Fun game, but if I can’t get ad free with a paid subscription, I’m deleting. That would be a shame, because it really is a fun and relaxing game. PLEASE ADVISE
  22. [R110] Block Puzzle 5/5 · US Game: Would like it a lot more if it didn’t stop your game all the time and try to get you to get other games. Would pay for game if I knew how
  23. [R118] Block Puzzle 1/5 · GB Great App & freely available… but…: Way too many Ads & Ads that do not go away or hide the way to make them go away! Hence 1 star! Let’s have a paid for Ad free version please!
  24. [R66] Block Puzzle 3/5 · US Breaking High Score: I love Block Puzzle, but there’s one major drawback: it’s extremely difficult to break your high score. While I enjoy a challenge, it’s also rewarding to incrementally increase one’s score. In classic mode, Block Puzzle makes this nearly impossible. Breaking your own high score feels utterly sporadic. It’s relatively easy to reach 3,000 points if you place the blocks logically
  25. [R80] Block Puzzle 5/5 · US Good puzzle game: I enjoy the challenge of this game
  26. [R92] Block Puzzle 5/5 · US It’s good: So I love this game I think it’s fun and challenging but fun so you should download it it’s kinda like block blast
  27. [R95] Block Puzzle 5/5 · US Calm/Exciting: This game is addictive in a good way! Can’t stop playing.
