“Level 19237 BORING AND STUPID — Impossible rigged levels to FORCE YOU TO PURCHASE TO PLAY. PLAYING THE SAME LEVEL 100s OF TIMES BECAUSE THEY RIG THE GAME TO GET YOU PURCHASE IS SAD AND PATHETIC 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻DONT WASTE YOUR TIME” — ★☆☆☆☆“Too hard — Some levels are just ridiculously hard to pass having to use all my lives and take 15 times to pass.. than just wants me to spend my money to buy tools and when I use the tools I still don’t pass the levels it’s ridiculous. Want to play a game to relax but end up getting so frustrated.” — ★★☆☆☆“Levels too hard, making people spend their money — They added all these hard, super hard and nightmare levels to get us to spend our money on the game, i remember when the game used to be fun and i didn’t have to wait days for the boosters to load just to beat the level.” — ★★☆☆☆

“🙄 — Ad freezing trash” — ★☆☆☆☆“Illegal Redirects — Candy crush violates Apple iTunes rules by using illegal redirect ads. When I hit the “X” it means I’m not interested in your ad. It does not give you permission to kick me out of my current games and open yours” — ★☆☆☆☆“Unplayable — The game is a joke now don’t waste your time. It’s just one big ad. I split in the faces of the people who created this.” — ★☆☆☆☆

We have not read this app's reviews yet. Apple rations that feed to about one page per address every ten minutes and refuses datacentre addresses, so the reading is done by hand — the rating above is live, the complaints are not there yet.
