Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

94/100

Bejeweled Blitz is the ultimate 'one-minute' thrill. PopCap perfected the match-3 formula here by adding the 60-second pressure cooker. It’s no longer just about finding matches; it’s about speed, pattern recognition, and knowing exactly when to detonate your special gems.

The 'Rare Gems' system adds a great collection element, and the weekly tournaments keep the competition with friends feeling fresh. The 'Blazing Speed' mechanic—where the board catches fire and you get a score multiplier—is one of the most satisfying feedback loops in all of mobile gaming. It’s pure, unadulterated dopamine.

Developers - PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THE POOR REVIEWS!!!
Mon Feb 04 2019 2old2sk8

Blitz Developers - please pay attention to the poor reviews - especially the recent ones. I have some of the same issues most of them have: 1. Never getting the jackpot when playing special gems. I certainly don’t expect to get it one out of 9 times, but at this point I have played HUNDREDS of rare gems and NEVER gotten the grand prize. Once in a while you gotta let your loyal players win. 2. In the new Spin feature, let the players watch two ads for two additional spins ever 24 hours like you used to do on the old spin feature. Odds on the spins get you small numbers of coins most of the time anyway, so why not at least offer a few more chances to spin each day. 3. The events are not showing much imagination. Please change the rewards more often. I liked intermediate rewards of gold bars and shards that you did at the holiday season. I don’t need more coins - I’d like to be able to get shards and gold coins in some way without having to go to the champions events. I enjoy the champions events but there should be some other way for players to get shards and gold bars. 4. I like the happy hour and special offers store ideas. However, again, please have some of the happy hours provide sales on shards and gold bars, not just coins. As I said, I can get coins plenty of ways and will NEVER spend money on coins or rare gems, no matter what the discount or special offer.

Too many complainers
Tue Dec 26 2017 Onab

I don’t normally write app reviews but I happened to read the reviews from some other users of bejeweled blitz today and I had to respond. I can’t believe how negative people are. If you don’t like that the ads are too loud when your volume button is turned on, then turn off your volume button! If you think the ads are too long that you have to watch this get a FREE additional spin, don’t get the free spin! People who say it’s gotten harder to get high scores, I just don’t understand. My high scores are higher and higher all the time. I used to strive to get over 500,00, then it was a million, then it went to 5 million and now I get over 10 million once a week. And those that complain that the chances of getting high payouts aren’t really 1 in 9 when you have 9 chances, well no kidding! If the developers did that no one would ever pay for anything. The idea of making an app is to make money after all. My only complaint is that once I reached level 182 where it stops naming the levels, the numerical level on my phone stopes going up but when I play on my computer it still accurately shows the level I’m on instead of being stuck at 182. Can’t this be fixed so my phone updates that as well instead of just saying ‘maximum level reached?’ I’m probably not priority user since I never pay for anything and I don’t watch the ads unless there is real value in doing so, but at least I don’t complain about nonsense on my review! This is still a fun addictive pastime for me to pick up when I’m bored. Thank you for the regular updates and additional features.

I really enjoy this game but….
Mon Sep 13 2021 Gooooser

This is one of my favorite games with challenges that keep you coming back to play - but creators really need to change up a few things. Game play - the events & championships are so much fun, but you need to have certain gems to compete them. You would think that you could have access to all the special gems, but no. You only have access to a few of the gems, if you need a white special gem you’re out of luck because you can’t buy them so you really are out of options. Also, out of years of playing on & off I think I ha e only ever one 2 of the 500,000 coin bonus at the end of the rounds which is nuts considering how long I’ve played. And I cannot end without saying how ridiculous the adds are in this game . Holy crap it’s ridiculous, you would think like any of the other games there wouldn’t be an insane amount of adds you can’t skip. Half the time I just close out when an add pops up. Yea I’ll watch the adds when you can get extra coins, or spins on the wheel but after every singe round is nuts. I would rather pay the $1.99 like another game to just get rid of them for good. Please think about these things, it would be a great came like many of the other candy names we don’t speak of, lol. At least give us the ability to use all the special gems so I can actually beat some of the events !

Great new features. open Siri I am a little concerned about your gym pro challenges four instance:
Sun Mar 18 2018 Lindalolos

I like many of the new features and the artwork is beautiful, however I have a couple of concerns still including the new gem pro series has been asking for TASKS that seem all but impossible like getting 12**star gyms in one game. Maybe you meant to say flame gems. I have played for years since the beginning of this game and I have never managed to make over about five star gems and any single game I agree that the challenges should make you work to increase your skills but it is discouraging to set the pole too high. I would also like to see the spins less tightly controlled and also the prize bonuses after playing rare gems to be more random. I have never received a 500 bonus or above in any game and I play for hours every day for years. When this happens it makes me feel like I’m being cheated and that you guys think we are dumb. I think you would please your audience by continuing to increase ways to earn coins and gems as your pricing is very expensive and not an option for elders and kids with fixed incomes. You are definitely doing a better job with this update, but I am hoping that you will keep improving our experience. By the way, did you know that many legally blind peoples can play your game due to its bright colors? Just saying....

Starting to hate this game I loved
Tue Aug 02 2022 Workinonitladykitty

July 3, 2022. I have four out many reviews both loving this game and disliking the fact that it crashes all the time. It has crashed three times in the last two days, not to mention the many, many times prior to this. When it crashes, “resume” does not work and you lose your gem, your coins (if you used them) and sometimes a game that you were doing terrific in. This outfit, so far, doesn’t care. They make it VERY difficult to contact them asking for info, game #, password, etc. etc. that you just don’t have or try to force you to Facebook. I am starting to think these crashes are intentional. Programmers, whoever you are, FIX YOUR GAME. August 1, 2022. Still crashing. I tried all their suggestions except deleting and re-installing as I would probably lose everything. Yes, they reached out with an email but did ZERO to compensate what I have lost so often when this happens. My IPad is older but powerful and I am NOT going to replace it to the tune of $1200 to play a game. Everything else works, all other games, movies, etc., etc except THIS game. Contacting them is VERY difficult, so difficult that I’ll just use this as my means to bring attention to this. They say it is not on their side, but it is quite a coincidence that it never happens if I don’t have a gem I’ve used involved, or used my coins to purchase one or in a not important game, just happens when there is something at stake. Once again, developers, FIX the problem.

Problem with blazing speed boost
Sat Sep 24 2022 grandmaiske

I enjoy playing this game. Been playing for years. But all of the sudden now I can’t activate my blazing speed boost. I can add it to the game, but it has the little clock and never loads. I’m very frustrated as I play my events and daily challenges and cannot clear most of them now if I can’t use my boosts. It’s making me not want to play anymore and take this off my phone all together. I can’t believe what a hassle it is to report a problem as well. I have been trying all night just to finally come and write a review. So hopefully someone sees this and repairs this bug or problem or whatever it is and let’s me know. And fast. Or I won’t be able to enjoy this anymore 😔 I hope I can write a 5 star review after this is corrected. Thank you. Well I have restarted my phone and closed my game and restarted it after I read the response from bejeweled and it still doesn’t work!! I am so frustrated with this please fix it!!! I am just letting everyone know that I am loving my Bejeweled!! They have fixed all the problems and I am one happy person again!! They are really good about fixing any problem that comes up !! I hope you have a good time with your games!! I give this 10 stars!! Thanks again!!😀😀🎉🎉

Grand Prize is not possible to win
Sat Jul 02 2022 Citrine93

The game is good to kill time, but the fact that you can’t even win the grand prize is a ripoff. I first thought that maybe I wasn’t lucky, but after reading other peoples’ reviews I now understand that it’s not because I’m unlucky. I don’t even understand why you would make it not possible to win the grand prize? Honestly what in the world were you thinking? And I can tell you this, the grand prize is NOT a 1-9 chance because the chance of using hundreds of rare gems and not getting the grand prize from it is practically 0% chance. And that’s not even the worst of it. The fact that you guys responded to other reviews about the issue from 3+ YEARS AGO saying that it “wasn’t intentional” is obviously just a big lie. Now if it wasn’t intentional then you would think that the problem would be fixed right? Well after 3 years, it’s still not possible to win the grand prize. So the biggest question is why. Why make the grand prize not winnable, and why LIE saying that the grand prize not being winnable “not intentional”, and why not even fix the problem even after 3 years of complaints about the problem? Now this is a very long review, but it’s all truth. I hope you see this, but unfortunately I highly doubt that you will make the grand prize winnable. And to be honest, maybe you wouldn’t have a 3.1 star rating if you actually fixed some long lasting problems, then just saying you would. Please, just make the grand prize winnable. It doesn’t even have to be a 1-9 chance. It could be a 1-20 or 1-50 chance. Just as long as it’s possible to win.

Let’s stop playing this game I
Wed Feb 05 2025 Boycot them
