Zen Match - Relaxing Puzzle for Negative User Reviews

I liked it at firstThe only reason I downloaded this app is because I wanted a way to relax and just kind of chill after a long day or something. And at first when I opened the app, the first maybe 10 minutes of this game was amazing. I loved how satisfying it was. But when I was about fifteen minutes in, I ran out of hearts. So I thought, “oh, I’ll just pay 200 coins for more hearts.” But I didn’t have enough, so I went to check if there was any other way for me to play. But the only way was for me to buy more coins with real money. And I’m not really the type of person who pays for games because I always find it a waste of money. So I went to check when the next time I could gain more hearts, and it was 20 HOURS. I had to wait a whole DAY just to gain like five hearts. So what I’m saying is, you can only play the game maybe once a day if you’re not willing to pay. Overall, this game is not my favorite but it’s not the worst, I just don’t like the way the creators think they can scam me to buy more coins that will probably be pretty useless to me. Okay bye person who’s reading this. have a nice day or night :).Version: 1.1.5

Not a fair game.A really fun game at first. Can’t remember what level I deleted the game on but way over the 100th level. At first I enjoyed playing the game I didn’t make any app purchases at first. I simply waited until the live refilled which would take up to 30 minutes a life. I didn’t want to purchase to remove ads so I would exit app refresh and enter game again so I didn’t have to watch the ads. I noticed that once I completed this move the app would remove one of my life’s. I ignored it however I began to purchase coins for life’s. You need 400 coins to replenish 5 life’s. That’s an absurd amount noting the cheapest bundles only gives you about 175 or 200 coins. Once I started making purchases I noticed that the game became more difficult and with out the advantage of the help at bottom of screen shuffle 10 coins, back move 20 coins and remove 3 cards 60 coins, which you have to pay for in coins. This is expensive in coins. So I decided not to spend money on coins anymore which made it more difficult to pass levels. I had my final straw at losing a game and going to the are you sure you want to give up picture on your screen and seeing I had 15 seconds until my next life. So I exit that game just to get to the Home Screen and the app took my only life after the clock ended in 5 seconds. I don’t know if it was a glitch but I’m done. I deleted the app this game is not fun once you start making money purchases. It’s money trap..Version: 1.1.8

Slow, buggy & made my phone crash….Version: 1.2.3

Wrong gameIt’s not the game I signed up for this is for a. Child.Version: 1.1.3

X-rated adsYou say your game is made for 4+. Yet I just watched an ad for a “KingsThrone” game that shows three cartoon women taking their close off and suggesting they have a foursome. A bit much don’t you think. Should really screen your ads. Otherwise I do enjoy the game..Version: 1.1.1

Fun but hard to recommendI have been enjoying this game, but I can’t really recommend it for three reasons: broken ads, overpriced store, & zero updates. BROKEN ADS: There are a lot of ad breaks, but this is expected. However, the ad server they use is broken. Half the time the ads either freeze up or get stuck in a loop, requiring a hard close to get out of them. This is made worse by the game deciding that this counts as losing a life. So you get penalized for the broken ads. OVERPRICED STORE: The cheapest & lowest amount coin pack (375 coins) is $8 USD. Given that this game does the usual free-to-play thing of trying to get you to buy stuff to continue, but the prices are too high. It’s a really blatant cash grab even for a mobile game. ZERO UPDATES: Finally, there have been no updates to this game aside from “here’s a new room”, which is the least needed update. There are inactive power-ups supposedly for a future update that is probably never going to happen that greet you every time you start a level. And of course, there are the broken ads that should be patched. In short, it’s broken, greedy, & neglected. The play itself is fun, but this isn’t the best way to experience it. Find whatever game from a reputable publisher this is copying and play that instead..Version: 1.3.4

StuckI have been stuck in the same level for over a month now. probably gonna delete. sad because it’s a great game. tile scapes is better same game easier to pass levels.Version: 220000.1.147

Too greedyGame is ok but easy to run out of lives and expensive ($16.99!) to buy more.Version: 1.2.2

Good game but glitchy and repetitiveI’ll start by saying this game is very addictive and I really enjoy playing it but there’s a few things that mar my experience. Lots of glitches in the refilling of lives - sometimes I’ve got 11 minutes until the next life and then I open it 15 minutes later and I’ve still got 25 minutes until the next life. As I’ve played more I’ve noticed that a lot of levels are repeated - like not just the same pattern/layout but literally down to it being the exact same tiles in the same places. Bit disappointing. I know it’s free but I have to sit through so many ads that I expect it to be high quality..Version: 1.2.6

Very glitchyStarted out really fun, but then started because very glitchy and laggy. Screen will often just turn black and eat your lives or if you watch an ad for more coins, at the end of the ad the screen will go back so you’ve watched an ad for nothing. Will be looking for an alternative now..Version: 1.1.1

Great Game, But…This is one of my favorite games, but, my game data inexplicably advanced (and disappeared). One day, I was well below the hundredth level, had only decorated 3 rooms, and had over 200 points to purchase room decorations. The very next day, the game had advanced to over level 570, 53 rooms were decorated, and I had less than 20 points for room purchases. I gained well over 400 levels and lost resources that I didn’t use in a 24 hour timespan. It would have been nice to advance through the levels on my own and to have decorated the 50 rooms with pieces of my choice. I have put in multiple requests for the game to be uninstalled so that I may reinstall it and start from the beginning. It’s been well over a month, and nothing has changed. I still play the game, but will not invest more money to purchase upgrades. Also, beware using (or paying) for the tools that allow you to scramble the tiles. When you scramble the tiles it is mostly to your disadvantage and to encourage you to use more resources so that you end up buying resources just to get through a level..Version: 1.5.1

Love/hateI really like the concept and game play…. However so many glitches and game crashes. It just shuts down mid game then you lose your life along with any coins spent in that level. It freezes and becomes super slow at times especially during the daily timed puzzles. I don’t find myself being very zen after playing this sometimes. More frustrated! It has cost me money as I have purchased coins to help pass levels and then it crashes and I lose it all. Not cheap to purchase coins. Won’t be buying anymore until the bugs are fixed! Watching ads to go back and play other daily puzzles is problematic too as they freeze or you get through all the ads then the game crashes. Frustrating..Version: 220000.1.102

It’s okI like the game apart from when I keep getting put onto random websites that I don’t click on and when I go back onto the game it continually keeps taking me to websites I haven’t clicked on. One of the main things I don’t understand with this game is that when I’m doing a level and when you can’t match 3 of something like there’s no more room on the board at the bottom thingy, it says you lost the level but that’s stupid because I can’t help where the things are placed on the level and I’m loosing lives so quickly because of that. It’s not even like it’s my fault I’ve lost the level, it’s because the way the levels are placed out and then makes you loose when it’s the games fault. (What I meant but that is when you’re doing the level and it’s impossibly to win the level because the game haven’t given you the actual chance to win, even when there’s no item things there to match.) It also costs way too much to refill your lives..Version: 1.2.3

Financial cost too highI loved this game when I first got it, there were enough good in-app coin rewards to convince you you could actually play it without spending a fortune, even though the coins etc were much pricier than other games I play. But then the rewards became fewer and the cost of cheats went up, and I’m not one to spend stupid money on a game like that so I just gave it up rather than waste my cash for a game that’s no longer fun. Also, there are app glitches that are super frustrating. If I run lives down to zero, then the countdown to the first life renewing goes back to zero instead of actually giving a new life after 30 mins. If I don’t run out of lives they refresh normally. And sometimes you get stuck in an ad between levels (exit button either doesn’t work or doesn’t appear) and you have to exit the app to get back to game play, meaning you lose a life. So for those reasons I don’t really recommend. It would be a great game otherwise which is why my score isn’t 1 star. It took a while for me to decide I just can’t deal any more..Version: 1.2.4

Not as advertisedIf you are looking at this game because you have seen an ad with a large grid of tiles that you just click through to clear then you will be disappointed with the reality. While the game itself is initially quite easy and fun to play as you go through the levels the patterns the tiles are laid out become increasingly complex and it becomes more of a guessing game. Once past the initial easy levels it becomes near impossible to complete the levels without spending money. I only play now for the daily puzzle which can usually be completed without the need to spend ‘coins’. Recent changes have seen challenges come in which I am finding intensely irritating as there are now three different pop ups to get rid of when I go in the game. Considering the fame calls itself zen I find myself feeling anything but zen when I play the main levels. Like so many games adverts the reality of the gameplay is nothing like what you see in the add..Version: 1.2.6

Annoying featuresTried to find an app support to contact but couldn’t so I’ll post this here. I love playing this game but only really for the daily puzzle. My problem with it is, the timer starts before you can even start hitting the tiles which means you lose time. Then as well, you might also get an advertisement, which also eats up the time. It’s very annoying to lose lives because you had a 30 second ad before you could even start playing. Please fix these issues..Version: 1.2.3

Good game but…I enjoy playing this but the gameplay is far too short. The further you get makes no difference to how little bonuses you can earn. It should offer more chances, especially when you pay to get rid of the ads. The levels seem to be programmed to be impossible to pass sometimes, and you’d need to spend money to get more than 5 games per session, which I now refuse to do. The only bonuses are two power-ups you can earn each day, which go nowhere when the levels are so difficult. The amount of coins you win to buy more gameplay are ridiculously low. Other games offer the chance to win free gameplay for 30 mins or an hour, and this would be a good addition to make this game less frustrating..Version: 1.1.8

Adds are the worstYeah sure, the game on this app, spectacular. But what about the adds? Hahaha, trust me you’ll hate every second of it. Every time I play a round either at the beginning or after the round when you click home or continue, an add will pop up. Now these can be easily skipped, but there a few problems. Sometimes in adds if I click to finish the add, the screen will freeze. Causing me to refresh the game, thus if you clicked continue or retry, your life will get stolen. I don’t know if it’s just me but this is just a reason why it’s not a favorite among my other games. As a result, I always clicked home if my internet is on and don’t mind it if it’s on airplane mode. Though if it is on airplane mode, you won’t be able to do challenges which is annoying in my opinion (unless you don’t mind missing out on challenges with free rewards). Ad yes my Internet is 100% fully functional and has had no problem ever. In conclusion, I would recommend lowering down the amount of adds and make sure they aren’t laggy or glitchy in any way. Thank you for your time.😅.Version: 1.2.5

This game could have been a winner, but I’m over it.I love the game and would play it all the time… if you didn’t have to spend so much money just to keep playing!! You have to use an excessive amount of coins to play, and if you run out of coins, you can’t play the game unless you spend money. The coins are also really expensive compared to other games, and you use them up straight away so they aren’t even worth the money they cost. This game could have been a winner, but I’m over it..Version: 1.2.9

Fun but waaaaasy too many ads!I don’t mind if I have to watch one add between levels, but to watch 5 in a row for games I don’t want, some ads played 3 times in a row is enough for me to cancel. Otherwise, I enjoy the game..Version: 220000.1.195

MehNow I play this game a bunch of times a day, but it’s nothing special. It takes 30 minutes just for one life to refill, with a max of 5 (this takes way too long, especially because the lives while glitch out a lot) The levels aren’t very hard. The vibrations are nice I guess. The room decorating is a total waste, it has like 15 total colors for everything, and they’re all pretty ugly. You can’t pair colors very well without everything being the exact same color. Also there are daily levels which you play to get some sort of plant, the more you play the bigger the plant, but it’s unclear why. I’ve never figured out where the plant goes. It doesn’t become part of the decorations, since you just chose colors for pre chosen furniture. There’s no room for them, they’re just in the calendar as an incentive I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit: I’m now on level 1940, and I’m fed up. I’ve been stuck for weeks, and I’ve tried getting 30/40 coins for a mix up from the daily calendar, but it’s slow since I have to wait a day for another level. The lives are really annoying, this is supposed to be a chill game but you have to wait so long for more plays. I will not be purchasing coins, they’re a waste of money and might delete.Version: 1.2.0

Addictive but very glitchyNice game and could play for hours when it’s working right. Unfortunately every few days the game refuses to work. I delete and reinstall (which is annoying cos it ruins my streak-I was on about 50 and lost this). The game just shuts down and restarts, sometimes mid game but mostly on the Home Screen. I reopen the app and can’t even get onto playing the levels without the game just shutting itself down. This happens every few days it seems, it’ll work great for a night or two but after that you can’t even open the app to play. Super annoying cos I love the game but it’s so frustrating when it refuses to load. Really great game but the glitches need sorting ASAP.Version: 1.2.2

You want to like the game so much but…Like others have said this is a good game and does have potential. However this game is clearly frustrating and clearly wants you to spend money. 1 life every 15-30 minutes. Some levels are near impossible without lifelines or spending money on coins. And then the daily levels? How much harder can those be? You clearly have no where near enough time to solve them so you end up again being forced to spend money or coins. I don’t get a lot of adds which is great but $5.99 to remove adds an no other perks? I don’t want to delete the game because I like the concept but man this game is frustrating…be warned. Deleting the game. Can’t take it anymore. For a came with Zen in the title far from it. I’m only on level 117 but at the point where coins are needed to proceed. Having the option to watch a video to add coins or shuffle would be great for those that don’t want to pay. What’s more frustrating is it’s not even the same tiles so you can plan better. All different combinations. Sad because this had potential….Version: 1.1.1

LivesThere is a bug that causes lives to disappear please fix asap.Version: 1.2.2

Poor updateSame comments as all those below really. Great little game, I’ve got to level 447 (took me a while to get used to the excessive adverts after every single level completed) and been enjoying it. Suddenly everything costs up to 8 times as much!! It’s worse than the cost of living crisis we’re all going through!! You earn the same amount of coins to buy the boost but they don’t go anywhere near as far. Also the daily win has gone from winning an undo and a shuffle to a mere 5 and 10 coins so max 15 coins a day and it now costs 80 coins for a shuffle or 120 coins for the extra card space so working that out it will take 6 days to win enough coins to buy a single shuffle when you used to win that every day and 8 days to earn the 120 coins! I’m guessing the developers are running out of levels and trying to slow everyone down by making the game ridiculously difficult. Not for me, doesn’t bring peace and zen in to my life, merely frustration..Version: 1.3.4

Update is crapI used to love this game , I’m on level 180 and the daily’s were always fun little quick bonus games. Used to play a lot, now since I updated it yesterday I’ve realised you can no longer play without an Internet connection , this is rubbish and stupid as the only thing that needed internet previously was the daily puzzles. That’s part of the reason I have this game is because I do not have a internet connection and so have to use my phone data , this was a way of playing a game that didn’t eat up my data. I guess I might as well delete now then . Shame as I’ll loose all my levels and rooms that are already done, but if it eats my data to play then I’m not playing.Version: 220000.1.102

Glitching ads!Such a shame that the ads are the thing that are ruining the game play. The app itself is lovely, however there are significant issues with the ads: 1) there is one ad which somehow triggers repeatedly without me even touching the screen. When you try to get back to the game it immediately takes you back to the page in safari, again without any clicking. The only way to stop it is to completely close the app. This one feels more like a virus. This is annoying as it can happen at any point in a level. 2) Unable to close ads to get back to the game. Also very annoying as have to close completely to get back in. I just lost my win streak because of this..Version: 1.2.0

Tournament lengthI was enjoying this game until Just recently playing in the tournaments. It might state there is 1 day and 17 hours left or similar and when you go back to the game in say an hours time the tournament is over and you have gone from the top of the leaderboard down to the bottom but there is still one day and so many hours left. This wasn’t happening at first but it is constantly occurring now. There seems to be four or five tournaments inside the two days originally stated. This is misleading and frustrating. Not calming at all. Prior to this mess you would have been given five stars but now I’m reluctant to give you any. A two day tournament should be two days not four or five tournaments in the two days..Version: 1.2.2

Where do I startThe game itself is fun, but you are constantly having to pay to get coins to increase your levels. Whilst increasing levels you don’t get enough coins after winning each level. After a while the algorithm makes the levels get harder and you waste coins like it’s going out of fashion. Also, “attaining and losing lives” as well as coins makes the game annoying to play. Once you’ve lost ALL the lives you have to pay for them. I (and probably many others) just want to play a matching game without having to constantly pay coins, lives to increase levels..Version: 220000.1.194

Good at first but had to deleteI really liked this game. It’s fun, easy and a good way to pass time. However, I had to delete it because once you get pass the initial “easy stage”, the rewards get smaller and you have then start relying on your free moves or coins. I personally think the game is designed to get players to start paying their own money to play. The lucky dip only lets you have two goes until you are asked to pay to receive more. The game creates a nest egg/bank from the players winnings and then asked you to pay if you want said best egg/bank. The free moves at the bottom are priced too high considering they are hints or ways to help you. A reshuffle is 10 coins, the undo is 20 and a new row is 60. That makes no sense when all you get for completing a level is 10 coins, no matter how high you go up. At the beginning, the journey chest would give you coins and or free moves but as you go further in the game, it just gives you backgrounds. The rewards for completing a challenge or winning a campaign is so small. It will just frustrate you in the end!.Version: 1.2.3

Don’t botherThis could be totally awesome if it wasn’t for the ads and the fact that they open at the App Store to try and get you to download. When you cancel out the ad continues. You watch more ads than you get to play. It is also cunning enough to not give you any ads at all for a while when you first play. So sad……...Version: 1.2.6

Love it but frustratingI love the games but once I got to level 588, I found there was no way to solve the puzzle unless I wanted to buy more moves, which I refuse to do. I have spent money on the app, but I have a limit. That particular level I have played for months and never come close to solving. I find that very frustrating in games, that you can only go so far without spending a great deal of money on it. Unfortunately I won’t be playing it much longer. What’s the point?.Version: 1.3.6

I’M SO MAD AT THIS GAME BUT I’M ADDICTEDI HATE THIS GAME SM BUT I ALWAYS PLAY IT, IF YOU’RE SEEING THIS AND ARE THINKING OF GETTING THE GAME, DON’T! THE LIVES TAKE FOREVER TO REFILL, THE LEVELS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOW (496) AND I CAN’T EVEN GET COINS EASILY. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME..Version: 220000.1.195

RiggedEver since they did that stupid competition a game that use to be relaxing and enjoyable has become clearly rigged and about money! All they want now is for you to spend money to buy more coins and they make the first level easy and the second nearly impossible. I’m done it’s a waste of time and stresses me more than it relaxes me now.Version: 1.1.9

I'm done with youWhere do I begin with this game. So first, it's not calming. You have to analyze the order of the cards and form a strategy, but over half the time, you're guessing because half the cards are hidden. It takes a long time for the lives to refill, it takes 400 coins to refill your lives sooner (which is a lot when your choices are to either win a few quests or purchase them), when the app crashes which is quite frequently, you end up losing a life. The game should give you a life every time it crashes. It also takes a lot of coins to use any of the helps. Basically there isn't a way to accumulate coins unless you purchase them or try your chances without using helps. It's not worth it to purchase them because you use them up quickly for the helps. Also, when you are stuck and you want to use the shuffle, sometimes it feels like they purposely do not give you the cards you need until you run out of coins. I like designing the backgrounds and the strategy is fairly decent, but everything else is frustrating..Version: 1.2.6

Added stressI like playing the game but have some cons. I got the game because it was advertised to help calm the mind, very quickly the puzzles became too hard to pass without coins etc... I enjoy the daily timed challenges but again its become difficult to the point i find my anxiety gets worse, it actually adds to my stress. Daily challenges are the only ones i play now because its impossible to play the other one without coins and I am not paying for coins. On top of that, there are too many adds that come on and it goes for sooo long. I am about to delete the game if adds continue to be this frequent... not calming at all but has increased my anxiety and stress.Version: 1.4.3

Could be amazing, but isn’tSo this game is great fun, and well designed, and has loads of great features (the daily challenge timed games are fabulous, and the tile collecting elements add a great extra layer of gameplay). BUT: - The lives run out too often and take too long to renew (30 mins per life!) It feels like the game is forcing you to spend money to renew lives - The game frequently runs very slow, and freezes. It’s super annoying! - There’s a couple of ad errors: 1. You get redirected to a random website and it won’t let you go back to the game - every time you do, it just flips you back to this blank website 2. When you restart a daily TIMED challenge, it makes you watch an ad first! So if it’s a 1-minute challenge, you end up losing a big chunk of your time thanks to the ad at the start! Fix those errors (and add more timed elements!) and it’ll be utterly brilliant..Version: 1.2.2

This is not a strategy gameAt first, this seems like a strategy game. You try to match up three tiles by uncovering certain tiles before other certain tiles. There’s a strategy to uncovering the correct tiles first and leaving others for later. I like that kind of strategy and working-things-out type of game. But very quickly, this game becomes a “luck” game. They start stacking the tiles in odd ways. You think that you’re going to uncover one tile that you need, but when you click on the tile on top of the one you need, you soon find out that there are three other tiles stacked on top of the tile you thought you could get to easily. That just stinks. Then there are the stacks of tiles at the bottom that you have to uncover. That’s all luck. If you click on the wrong tile and what you need is not underneath it, and there’s nothing to match in the mess up above, you’re out of luck. So I was hoping this was an all strategy game, and it really isn’t. I’m stuck at level 114 because I have no luck! It was fun for a while but it’s really lost its shine to me. Also, how about awarding more than just 10 coins for passing a level? I spent 140 coins just to get past a level and then I earn 10?! The rewards are way off. They aren’t enough to give me the incentive to keep working on this. And for being a Zen game, it gets pretty frustrating pretty fast. Oh well..Version: 1.2.3

Very Zen but for one ad :(Playing Zen Match is so relaxing - but the ad for “Merge County” is NOT. Please remove this ad from your game. I completely understand your need for ad revenue but when the blaring horns and sirens on this PARTICULAR app start out of nowhere, I’m pulled right out of any ZEN I may have been experiencing. I actually feel my blood pressure go up. It makes me wary of completing any levels when there’s a possibility this horrible ad will pop up at the end. Please, please get rid of it so I can get my Zen back! Yours is the only app of its kind, truly worthy of 5 stars, and I don’t mind any of the other ads but this one is horrible!!.Version: 1.2.1

New game prices ruined game, unhappy loyal customerI’ve been playing zen match for like 2 years. it’s the only game i’ve EVER spent money on. this is also the first app ive EVER left a review on. so this is clearly important to me 😂 i never had much to complain about until recent updates the new graphics look cheap i like the new look now but i’m missing some of the original look of the app. also the power ups offered during your matches at the bottom have now changed, specifically the mix button being changed to 20 coins instead of 10. the new updates with the coins and their prices have made the game honestly frustrating and not as fun anymore :/ i blow through my coins more now and spending less time on the game. i know it’s probably a trick to get me to spend more money but i promise you it’s not working on this loyal gamer/customer with this app 😂 if i’m not enjoying the game i won’t spend money or time on it 🤷🏻‍♀️ if changes continue to make the app more difficult or i see that the app developers care more about the money they can make vs the quality of their game then i’ll just leave. there’s plenty of other apps like zen match that also want my money too. plus i wouldn’t mind a game that doesn’t reuse levels like zen match does, y’all ain’t slick on reusing levels 😭.Version: 220000.1.181

Nothing “zen” about this gameI really hate false advertising and think its shameful to attract an audience this way as it’s already a good game as is. The problem i have is it’s impossible to complete some levels without coins, Ive been stuck on the same level for 2 days now and i dont want to pay real money to win. You dont get many lives and they’re often randomly taken away if an ad glitches out or something. The tiles are randomised every level so im not seeing a purpose for lives, Ive had the game for a few days now and everytime i get stuck on a level it takes days to complete and the lives take too long to regenerate when i play for 5 minutes. Its just a effortless made game that uses micro transactions (coins). The devs are probably laughing in their chairs because they’re making easy bank..Version: 1.1.9

App crashingDue to a bug in the app, it now won’t open the app at all. Crashed as soon as it opens.Version: 1.2.2

No supportI was not planning on writing a review about this but it is my last ditch way to reach out to the developers and hope they care enough to listen. I needed to reach out for support with a glitch in the game and tried the support button. It led to a list of FAQs, none of which addressed my concern. They had an additional comment to “contact us” for more support but no contact us button, email, link or anything. I tried the app link here and where is says “App support” the link takes you to the developer’s website. No where on there is a support link or contact information. I tried searching every page and link and no success. All I want to do is let them know about a glitch that may cause them additional negative reviews if it happens to others and not being able to contact them has led me to give them a negative review when I don’t actually dislike the game. If a company does not care enough to allow us to reach out about a problem then this is what happens. If they rectify this situation and add a contact link or reach out to help, then I will withdraw this review..Version: 1.1.4

Game becomes unplayable after 75 levelsThe beginning levels are easy, and you can zoom through the first 50 without wasting any lives. Once you get past level 75, the game becomes purely based on luck and it becomes impossible to win, even if you have a high skill level. Its basically winnable with the right lucky combination or if you pay for the shuffle feature. Its too bad because it was fun when it was actually a challenge but it is simply not possible to play it when you get to the higher levels and its not based on skill..Version: 1.1.0

Game is great but…Really like the game itself but as others have mentioned there’s some really annoying things that need to be fixed. Every 2 attempts, whether you win or lose, it takes you back to homescreen which loses a life (don’t lose your streak though). Lives take 30mins to regenerate - should be 15 maximum like other games. You only get 10points per win and need 400 to regenerate lives. And the ads - you can pay to get rid but if you don’t, you often get App Store popping up mid-game and sometimes have a pop up covering the ‘close’ button so you can’t get out of it unless you quit the game and lose a life. That said - everything about the gameplay itself is great. Gets progressively harder, have some assist options (need points), and just a really enjoyable game. Just wish they’d sort the pop ups and lives.Version: 1.2.3

Good concept, could fix a bitGood game but takes 30 mins to get 1 heart and when playing the daily things, they sometimes play ads right after pressing play which eats into time playing, please fix these EDIT: I’ve gotten to level 400 and the game is just recycling material now, even for the daily puzzles, it’s just boring now.. maybe a couple new levels could make it better but probably not by much.Version: 1.3.4

I Love This Game- but…THIS GAME IS WORTH DOWNLOADING!! This game is by far one of my favorites!! It is creative it’s fun it gets more difficult with the levels but not too difficult! It’s an amazing and interactive game it also lets you deign rooms which I found very fun and creative. Shockingly this game is also quite meditational, I love the sweet quotes at the beginning of the game. It’s by far a FEEL GOOD game. Now why did I give it three stars if I love it so much… we’ll ever since the updates it’s been very very very very very very laggy. It freezes during playing a game, the music gets all fuzzy, and even more during ads. This wouldn’t be that much of a problem if I was patient but no.. I go out of the game and then go back into it and my progress of the level I was almost done with isn’t saved.. so just a couple tips : 1. Please fix the glitch 2. Maybe make the higher number levels a little less difficult since I have to keep spending coins 3. Maybe also make level progress save for if you go out of the game! Thanks!!!!! I love this game!.Version: 1.2.9

Open your walletIt just seems to be a way to get you to spend money to buy more coins/points/whatever in order to have the ability to ‘cheat’ your way through the higher levels. I get it, they want to make money and I guess the advertising revenues are not enough for the company that put this game out. Not a very zen game… after level 100 it gets frustrating… unless you pay for the ‘power ups’… but why have advertising in the free version? I guess these folks want it all… I voted with my feet and deleted it… I won’t be back..Version: 1.1.3

Still has potentialThis game is very fun and easy to get hooked on at first. But like many of the other reviews have said, you will eventually reach an impossibly-designed level where you can either take a chance and run through your five lives, or you’ll have to pay for extra coins. I don’t even mind taking the risk, but it does take an unusually long time for lives in this game to replenish, and it doesn’t offer any way to earn extra lives aside from mKing a purchase. Most other games have shorter replenish periods AND offer you the chance to watch ads to get more lives; I don’t get why this one doesn’t. As far as the coins go, I agree with others who think it is clear they want you to spend money. They’ve added several new ways to get boosts and extra coins since I started playing but each is a dead-end for those of us on higher levels. For example, you can now earn coins for decorating a room. Cool! Except A.) we can’t retroactively get all the coins we would have earned from rooms we already decorated, and B.) you have to spend lotuses to decorate each element of the room, but you only earn lotuses when you beat a level. So you start running out of lotuses trying to get more coins to beat an impossible level, then you run out of coins too because the level is impossible. It’s just too difficult for no reason after a point..Version: 1.3.0

Stupid gameIt’s nothing like the ad. it’s boring and it gets too hard too quickly. it’s not even fun just frustrating..Version: 1.1.9

HmmmLevels are virtually impossible to achieve. How can you pass levels when there is literally no way. Pass a level which sometimes take a few weeks to do then the next level takes just as long. This game is called zen match…..should be how long before ya throw ya device out the nearest window.Version: 1.4.5

Great game inappropriate adsI enjoy this game - although like others have stated it takes too long to replenish lives and the only other way to do that is through purchasing coins. That does take some of the joy out of the game. My main issue is with the ads this company has chosen to include in the free version. This is a matching game that children may play yet the ads they are choosing to show are for games like Kings Quest and Matchington Mansion which are PG-14 at best. Examples of the ads show a husband having sex with his mistress in the bathroom stall of a public restroom while his pregnant wife’s water breaks upon witnessing it. A husband showering with his mistress while his pregnant wife witnesses it and has her water break. A young woman showing up to a house asking to come in from the rain and then asking the occupant of the house to bathe her. And most recently , a scantily clad woman climbing a library ladder approached by another scantily clad woman - directing the player to slap the backside of the girl on the ladder. As a grown woman I find these ads offensive and they are completely inappropriate for young players. I am not opposed to watching ads, they often help to suggest new games. I am opposed to marketing smut to young people. For that reason I, sadly, had to delete the game..Version: 1.3.9

Was fun, but then got bad.Game was fun! Even got challenging (the good kind, keeping the mind sharp) after a about 20 levels. But then it went from being a fun slightly challenging game, to being near impossible. Bad model. You want people to buy coins, yes i get it. But making the game frustrating to use makes you lose players! I get you wanting people to spend coins to get more lives, therefore them having to buy the coins. But having to wait HOURS for 5 lives, on impossible levels, is definitely grounds for deleting. People dont want to be overly frustrated trying to play a good game, we understand you have to make money. The ads arent even a problem, its just not enjoyable to play. If youre going to make us wait hours for 5 lives, the least you can do is give us 10 lives and make levels after 100+ be NOT impossible. Ive been stuck on 272 (this isnt the first time im experiencing this) for days because i can never seem to get any card matches. I even spend the coins to continue on, and still matches are so spread apart its impossible! Please fix your app or i predict you will become one of the great games that unfortunately bite the dust and have to run an unskippable ad every round because you dont get the downloads you once did..Version: 1.0.8

Not ZEN match more like STINGY CAPITALIST PIG match.For a game that calls themselves ZEN they are not very zen at all… the whole game is clearly trying to force you to use your coins so you have to pay for more as the further you get into the game the harder it is to win without using coins. They also make you wait 30minutes for each life to refill and you only get 5 lives so for it to completely refill it takes 2hrs30mins which is SO long. OR of course you can pay 400coins to get them refilled. Which is SO much. Now as I’m at level 350 it’s virtually impossible to win the games without using the help at the bottom such as shuffling the tiles which is 10coins but often it doesn’t shuffle the way you need so you end up spending way more than that. 20 to undo a play. Or 60 to remove 3 tiles. Honestly this game would be so good if they just didn’t have the whole 5 lives thing as that’s just straight tedious and again clearly an attempt to get you to pay 400 so you can play on. AND if they just didn’t force you to have to spend coins all the time. Like I wouldn’t even mind watching more ads if you could get coins from them. But even the adds you can only ever get 20 and they give a limit on how many times you can press it. Basically this game is run by people just out to make money from you. There are so many versions of this game honestly download one that isn’t like this..Version: 1.2.0

Adds & freezingFun game, but has terrible timing for adds. Daily puzzle is on a timer and as soon as you start a game an add starts, which is fine for a free game. Except that the add goes for excessively long, and the timer for the game starts when the add starts playing meaning half the time to finish the game is gone. Not to mention it routinely freezes and you can’t exit the adds!.Version: 1.2.5

This game could be good!I have to admit I’m pretty addicted to this game right now…. It can be really relaxing but the fact that they make the game impossible to beat without spending coins is beyond annoying! I’ve been stuck on the same level now for a whole day and because I have no coins I can’t beat it….. as you can’t see the tiles it ends up being a game of chance and of course it doesn’t work in the players favour…. It’s just another game made by money hungry people trying to make it so you spend money on their game. Will likely give this game up soon….. it’s too frustrating, what a disappointment..Version: 1.1.2

Needs Some WorkI really liked this game when I started it and even paid to remove the ads. There are several things about it that have driven me away. First of all, you can’t purchase coins at a reasonable price. When I first started there were reasonably priced packages available. Now, the cheapest I can purchase is $7.99. I find it strange that price of the packages go up as you progress in the game. Another thing I really dislike about it is that there’s a short game before each level that, as far as I can tell, is pointless. Also, there are no daily prizes or any incentives really to keep you coming back. There is a daily game, but it’s almost impossible to win. I feel like this game is designed to hook you at first and get you to spend a bit of money, then move on. Some have also mentioned the lives - it takes 30 minutes to regenerate one life! To continue without losing a life, it takes 60 coins. To put this in perspective, the cheapest package is around 360 coins for $7.99. That’s just too much money! Too bad, because if it were reasonably priced, I’d keep playing. I really liked it, but I can’t blow that much money on a game..Version: 1.1.4

Good game but so frustratingThe game itself is great, but the levels are so hard to pass without coins. It’s so hard to earn coins and the coin packages are expensive to buy, especially when compared to other games. When the safe is full and it gives the ‘special price’ of $2.99 - don’t be fooled - they still charge the full price which is incredibly sneaky and dishonest. It makes me NEVER spend a cent on this game because of its dishonesty.Version: 1.3.4

Typical cash gameIt’s a really fun game But like always, the people who made it are looking to make as much money as possible To the point that it’s annoying and makes me not want to play the game There are so many pop-up ads constantly trying to sell you packages You can’t see how many coins you have while you’re playing so if you don’t have enough coins for a certain feature you’ll get 2 to 4 pop-ups telling you how you could purchase more coins When you want to do the daily challenges, it plays a commercial that is sometimes longer than the actual game I had to sit through over 45 seconds of an ad and then when I tried to click out of it, it just brings me to the App Store and that took about six times of Xing out of the App Store back into the game and then trying to out of it and it’s sending me back to the App Store Also, while you’re playing, there are many times in which the game is set up so that there is no chance for you to win unless of course you wanna buy a bunch of packages so you can have a lot of coins and then you can use all the little features to try and move the tiles around one time I did five features of spinning the tiles around and all five times there were still zero plays available I would actually be willing to pay for a pro version of this game to have unlimited lives because I enjoy the actual game so much but all of the ads and the stupid rooms you paint are just a waste of time and energy.Version: 220000.1.195

Too hard past lvl 90Levels after you reach 90 are so hard that I’ll be lucky if I succeed even just one level. And that’ll be after using all 5 of my lives and most of my help thingies (like the undo, mix the tiles and stuff). Maybe I’ll even have to wait for my lives to refill and then use them all again to actually pass one level. Also, like someone else said, the choices for the design part of the game are kinda sad.. :/ There’s not many choices and it’s mainly the same colours that aren’t that pretty or don’t really fit well together, I’ll try so hard to change colour combination but I usually still end up thinking it looks weird.. My issue is mainly that it’s too hard now, I can’t progress at all.Version: 1.2.1

Improve the gameI used to play this a few years ago but it became too hard so I deleted it a couple of years ago and just started playing again. It has the potential to be a great game but it’s too hard to earn coins and some levels I’ve been stuck on for over a week because the lives run out too fast and I have no coins to help me pass it. I purchased a premium pass which I thought was permanent but it ran out after a few days and I’m back to where I was ( 30 minutes wait for a life and only 5 lives) I’m not willing to purchase this over and over, it wasn’t cheap. It seems like the developers just want ppl to spend money and don’t care about anything else. It’s not fun anymore, just frustrating. I’d give it 5 stars if they’d make it easier to get coins..Version: 220000.1.194

The fact cheatsThe timer starts before all the tiles have been placed and before you can even begin to play. Also, the colour options for the “zen” seriously lacks choices..Version: 1.1.9

Con to try to get you to pay to play!When you first start playing you have booster to help you if you are running out of moves etc which you can win along the way or get for 10 coins etc or if you “die” you can play on for 60 coins. Once they have sucked you in they take all of that away, and double the amount of coins you need to play on to 120, making it near on impossible to progress in the game…..unless you spend money of course!! You contact them and they say they are trying different types of gameplay to see what works best!! I call it trying to rip people off! There are better games out there, that don’t cost and don’t change the goal posts once they have sucked you in. I’ll be playing them!!.Version: 1.3.4

It’s good but coins are impossibleCan you add a few more ways to get coins as it’s impossible to get coins and it’s worse since you increased the amount of coins everything costs randomly. Here’s a few ideas- -have the option to Watch an ad or a couple of ads every few hours to get some coins. -give us a daily reward which includes coins, like when you log in every day you get a bonus chest and if you log in so many days in a row you get more stuff -give coins everytime we complete a Zen Room Make this game easier for us. Most people will NOT buy things with real money we will just delete the game. You want good reviews, lots of players and an income from this game? Don’t force us to spend real money cuz we won’t. We spend real money when a game is good to make gameplay even better, if you made this game seem less money orientated I’d be more interested in spending my money on it :).Version: 1.2.5

Higher levels are unwinnable without payingI loved this game when I started playing it. Now, I have been stuck on level 130 for a week. It seems like there is some skill to winning a level, but there is far more luck involved. Since I can’t win the level, I can’t obtain tools that seem to be required in order to pass this level, so I’m stuck. If I can’t get beyond this level in another week, I am dropping the game. Also, I paid for no ads, but I still am forced to stop playing when I use all my lives. It seems like I should be able to play the game that I paid for whenever I want to play. And, I don’t believe for a minute that it is possible to win the daily challenge by clearing that board in under 5 minutes! P.S. After I wrote this review, I somehow managed to finally get past level 130 a week later. Now I have been at level 396 for a month. Sometimes I just go along and play my 5 lives, but I have not been close to passing this level after probably 100 attempts. I am playing the game less and less and will probably drop it soon unless it lets me pass to the next level..Version: 1.3.4

Cash Cow GameI actually enjoy playing this game. However, I got caught up in purchasing the coins. It takes 30 minutes for the game to give a new life and is full at 5 lives (so 2.5 hours to have all the lives restored for free). If you are into the game, you have to pay for coins to continue. It takes 200 coins to replenish. Second money dump, if you get stuck in the game and want to scramble the towels or any of the other two ways of extending the life to continue playing will cost. Now, there are free ways to get these bonuses but they are few and far in between and are teasers to pay for them. I have been stuck at level 145 for a really long time. I think I advanced to this level only because I had been paying for these coins to continue the play so I could advance. Now at level 145, I decided just to pay for coins. I wanted to see how difficult it would be and how long it would take for me to advance. I have not been able to move to level 146. I REFUSE to give it another dollar now that the game is set up to take advantage of its consumers. As long as you pay, great. When you don’t pay, you can play but you won’t move. Cash Cow. Beware..Version: 1.1.5

Not at all like they advertisedBeen playing for 4 days. This was a fun game at lower levels like most games. I’ve reached 139 and it’s impossible unless I add money to get coins. No way to add coins unless you buy them and at first they are easy to get when you complete a level, now it’s to hard to finish a level unless you got plenty of money to put into the game. I myself like free game apps, where you can earn what you need to play them. I played all day and never went up a level. The short game before the main game is not needed and don’t know why they put that in there. I finished the a few cute rooms but yet to figure out why I decorate them I get nothing for doing them. Two small match games every 10 hours let’s you win 1 mistake move and 1 switch all the tiles move, third of course wants to to add money. NOT at all anything like they advertise, maybe that’s at some ungodly level you will never be able to get too. Note that you don’t have to loss a life by when you see there is no possible way to win the level, log out of the game and reload and life is not lost.. thing is you can’t win!! Buying coins daily gets expensive. It cost $60 to keep playing, 20 to put tiles back, 10 to switch them around. Coins go super fast in playing this game :( not worth it, will be deleting it. Good luck!.Version: 1.1.5

Recent Updates/glitches ruined the gameTitle says it all. I don’t know if it’s an update or a glitch, but the game has lost all of its fun for me. A few days ago my whole game glitched me forward about 10 levels, which isn’t a terrible thing, but gameplay since then has been pretty bad. It started recycling the same four layouts, which makes it incredibly boring. The daily puzzle has become completely pointless because it no longer gives you two decor points, only a few coins. It marks your progress with the potted plants, but for what? You get nothing for completing an entire months daily puzzles. It will no longer enter me into the golden piece tournament. I could collect 200 pieces, but when the tournament it over is says I’ve collected 0. It’s also changed so the first 20 pieces now only give you 5 measly coins instead of decor points. I’ve also started having issues where every ad (and there are many) that plays freezes my game or slows it down. This game used to be so much fun, I looked forward to playing it in the morning with my tea and breakfast. But now, there really isn’t anything that would keep me coming back. Very sad and frustrating.Version: 1.3.6

Good for children I guess.For a game that describes itself as “zen”, it offers a frustratingly cluttered, confused, and annoying experience. It seems to be two games awkwardly crammed into one, neither really having anything to do with eachother. Granted I only got to level 21 or so before bailing out, but so far there is no sign of the wall of tiles depicted in the adverts - I understand there is a difficulty curve and that they’re probably building up to it, but they don’t seem to be getting noticeably any more challenging and the simplistic levels are boring. I found the only way to actually lose was to just tap the tiles at random - if you’re even halfway paying attention you can breeze through them with basically no need to think at all. I guess if you’ve got little kids or just want a mindless clicker to fill time then you’ll be alright with this, but it’s not for me. and there doesn’t seem to be any way to change the theme or colours to reflect the designs featured in the adverts either. I liked the look of the black and white Halloween tiles, but the actual game is bright cartoonish fruits and leaves. Why not make your advert reflect what the average game experience actually is? Doesn’t show confidence in the product you made..Version: 1.2.2

Fun at start, but impossible at higher levelsTL/DR: Game is fun at lower levels, but the upper ones are in winnable and a waste of time playing. Lazy programming with too many tiles so matching 3 on some tries is impossible in the first moves. Find a game where success is at least possible without help. This game was fun for about the first 2000 levels. At the beginning, it is fairly easy but builds quickly. Then at somewhere between level 2000 to 2109, the puzzles are impossible. There is no combination of times you can choose that will allow to win unless you use one or more bonus “cheat” tiles. It just gets frustrating to go through 5 tries at a level in less than 10 minutes only to have to wait 2.5 hours to try again. Also, the amount to play on goes up from 60 to 90 coins which makes it even harder to keep playing. It’s to the point where it’s not worth the time and ads to play anymore. In addition, the ads for this game are misleading in that the puzzle they show in the ad is never available. The “tournament” and other “competitions” in the game are jokes because they have a time limit, but it takes days of play to get through one level let alone the multiple needed to succeed at the tournament. Too many extras that are just not needed. Make the upper levels challenging but winnable with out needing to use a scramble or the extra tile spaces rather than being lazy at putting random tiles of too many varieties in the puzzle..Version: 1.2.6

Heaps of changes.I used to really love this game as it was relaxing and i loved the music and sound effects and even the positive affirmations! however once you get to a certain point of the game, the tiles become random and sometimes there’s no way to get through the level without failing and it turns into a game of luck. Also i wish there was an option to watch ads for coins because a lot of the levels are impossible without being able to shuffle the cards around without coins. and for an app that’s meant to be ‘zen’ and ‘relaxing’ you cant play for long until all your 5 lives are gone and then you have to wait hours for them to all return who h is just infuriating. Seriously do better. The reason i stop playing this game for months is because i become fed up with the levels that i will get stuck on for days and no matter what i do, i cant get counts to get through the level and then i keep running out of lives. and then its 600 coins to refill your 5 lives which amounts to completing 60 levels without spending any coins. ALSO it used to not have many ads and now ads play every second level!!! AND ITS $9.99 TO DISABLE ADS! i would have bought it if it was $3 not 10!.Version: 1.4.5

Could be better, has a lot of potentialBeen playing this game for quite a while, around level 500+ currently. I’m not against paying for games and pay for my others regularly, but this game is a lot more expensive than most and you do not get much for your money. Free-playing is limited, it can glitch when lives are refreshing and if you are stuck on a level then the old board tile switcher booster was useless on the higher levels. Now the app has changed its layout so it looks different to the previews in the App Store, the old boosters are gone and even their support has not been updated for the new ones so there is no way to find out what they actually do. Will probably give it another go for a couple more days and if it doesn’t get any better then delete the game..Version: 1.3.4

Good game but lots of waiting aroundI have enjoyed playing this game and am currently (stuck at) level 319. I like the idea behind it and the customisation of rooms however sometimes the levels are just impossible to pass. It feels like luck more than strategy as you cannot see what tiles are going to be underneath the pile to match and you run out of space quickly before failing the level. As this is a free game this is obviously done so in an attempt to get you to purchase coins etc. to purchase the power-ups that allow you to expand the amount of tiles you can hold at any one time, undo a move or shuffle the board. Without any money for power-ups you quickly run out of lives when getting stuck on a level, and then have to wait 25 minutes for a new life which I do think is a rather long time compared to other ‘match’ style games. For example, I’ve used at least 20 lives trying to get past this level which isn’t even described as a ‘hard level’. So like I say, lots of waiting around for lives to refresh and to play the game if you’re like me and rarely spend money on in-app purchases..Version: 220000.1.82

If I could give it 0 stars I would.The update ruined the game. The new boosters are not helpful and only having them available before the level starts is terrible. I will not be playing this game anymore..Version: 1.3.3

Was funWell once I reached the 160 range it’s tough to solve the only way to go on is tu buy coins or lose 6 to 7 times and loose heart and then it places a match for a few games and back to losing.Version: 220000.1.192

Not all that ZenUsed to love this but now pretty bored. The ads are totally incessant and often glitch so that the only way you can get off them is to close down the app - generally losing a life in the process. I appreciate I’ve worked through quite a few levels but now everything seems set up to make you spend money to get anywhere. The levels are often way too hard to be anything considered remotely zen - just end up frustrated and end up not playing for weeks. The bonus coins that reappear every 24 hours are often not even worth trying for - after 40 attempts one night I still hadn’t been able to get the first 10. Now that every single thing in the rooms costs 5 points it’s barely worth bothering with them, they’re all such dingy colours now too. Wish this game was still fun..Version: 1.4.4

Paid for no Ads and feel ripped off !Beautiful art, concept and game that initially prompted me to happily pay the fee for no ads. However there is nothing "Zen" about this game. As others have mentioned, there is no rhyme or reason as to why you get stuck on a level with no way out other than to buy tokens for actions, so you can shuffle the deck in the hope you find the match you are look for. {Usually not) Though the imagery and room concept is lovely. There are better matching games out there..Version: 1.2.8

Just let me play your game!I feel like I’m fighting this game to let me play it. Just let me play the game you made, I’m begging you! You only get to have a max of *5* lives, and you get one every THIRTY minutes, it’s nuts. The levels also get rather repetitive after a while, they all have one stupid easy-mini-level before you get to the ridiculously hard/possibly impossible-without-lifelines real level. Also, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this, ​​THE ADVERTISING VIDEOS/PICS THAT SHOW MASSIVE LAYOUTS (the first pic on this very app page) DO NOT SEEM TO EXIST. If you wanted to download this bc of that, you’ll be disappointed. This is a less egregious level of false advertising than most apps these days, but still I wonder why it’s legal. It’s all really frustrating, because I love the premise of this app and its core gameplay. Just drop all the dumb paraphernalia (false advertising, aggressive pay-to-play models, etc) that developers seem to think are required now, and this would be a great game that I would probably spend more money on, since it wouldn’t force me away the way it is doing..Version: 1.1.0

Love it. But pay to winI’m a daily player, some levels are more challenging and you might get stuck for a few weeks cause you only get so many coins for power ups. Sadly they’ve put the price for reshuffle up from 10 coins to 20. Makes it much more difficult than it already was and I foresee getting stuck and just giving up on the game all together. Not a sustainable change, just to make people spend money to pay to win..Version: 220000.1.123

Certain boards cannot be beat.I have played this game once and for some reason it locked up so this is my next time through. The game is overall great but some of these puzzles just cannot be beat without the cheat tools like the ‘shuffle’ for 10 coins or the ‘hold 3 cards’ in the alternate queue. Several times I have got locked in a puzzle and my cards are just not shown anywhere on the game board. The example I am quoting is level 229 and there are only 5 sets to finish the game. I have 2 suns, and 2 violets on my board and 2 other singles. All of the matches for the rest of the game are visible except for the sun and the violet. There is NOWHERE Left to hide the ones I need but still, I shuffle, nope, shuffle, nope, shuffle after 10 shuffles still no sign of either of my cards. That is just impossible but also, there is nowhere to hide them????? All the cards on the board are visible unless you stacked directly on top of the bottom, but the remaining matches make that a statistical impossibility…. I will not be spending and more money on the game as it is just a little too dumb sometime as far a a fair and fun gameplay. I like a challenge but there are still bugs to the game play and that ruins it for me. Long time player and I have had enough. If you like the game, it’s well done, but soon enough you will see it is not working correctly and it drains your coins to force you to buy more..Version: 1.2.2

Could have been fun, but too repetitiveIt was fun at first but it just stays the same? The amount of tiles is generally the same and often the same tiles are stacked on each other which makes it ridiculously easy. It could have been fun if the way the tiles got stacked became more complex..Version: 220000.1.201

Meant to be relaxing?*UPDATE* ok so fair play you’ve made the levels ever so slightly more achievable by removing these 3 parters; that’s helped. But what is up with the lives? Had 3 lives there, and there was 40seconds left on the clock for life number 4 to be added, played one game and when I lost and came out to the main screen I only had one life?? How did one game costs me 3 lives?? Seriously get this sorted I downloaded this game ages go And generally I tend to go off it for long periods because some levels are just impossible. Then for some unfathomable reason the developers keep changing the costs of the different helpful tools without any heads up. There’s also boosters that are never available. The game when I first started really was relaxing and generally the daily challenges are brilliant because it’s just so therapeutic once you find a rhythm But on the whole the developers are making a mess out of the game and I really am on the verge of deleting. What’s the point of the tools and boosters if they aren’t available or you can’t get levels completed to be able to build the coins up you need..Version: 220000.1.195

What happened ? :(This has been my go-to relaxing game for probably 6 months, but it’s just changed in a way that makes it more frustrating than zen. The in-level tools (half tiles, undo move, and shuffle) are all gone! Especially frustrating since I recently made an in-app purchase to get a bunch of them and I guess I just lost that purchase since the feature isn’t there anymore. I’m so so disappointed because these changes sort of ruin the game, and I feel scammed out of the money I paid. :(.Version: 1.3.3

Nothing zen about itYa sure zen out while trying to ignore the constantly flashing banner ads while playing. So stupid..Version: 220000.1.195

Was Zen but now GREEDY!I’ve been playing for a while now and have spent a fair bit of money buying additional coins. But recently the game has undergone some changes and it’s ruined it for me! The old game you had to work through levels and the reward for playing 4 games was 10 coins. Baring in mind it takes 10 coins for a single shuffle, 20 to rewind last move and 60 for a new line, you really had to buy coins to progress. I also paid extra for a ‘zen pass’ which lasted a week and gave 8 instead of 5 lives, plus you were able to get rewards. The new game is completely different! You can no longer use the rewind, shuffle or new line. Instead there are options for other boosts, but require 120 coins to refill (set of 3). This means the rewards won on zen pass are obsolete as there is no way of using them. Also, there are now 3, yes 3 games to play before being able to continue and only get 5 coins!!!! And the play on which used to be 60 coins has now increased to 120! I won’t be playing any more for the sheer fact that the developers have become too greedy. How is any player supposed to cope with the amount of coins needed to be spent? I didn’t mind too much before but this is ridiculous!.Version: 1.3.4

It’s an alright game…Aside from the fact it’s quite money hungry. After each puzzle you do, it will throw 3-5 different ads ‘events’ for reasons to spend your money. And they are quite expensive. The ‘safe’ thing is like 4 dollars for a few hundred coins, and the many ‘special’ events are an easy 6-20 dollars. My advice, don’t. The levels can be tricky to get around through, and a bit frustrating. The daily puzzles are challenging and timed, I tend to avoid them. Each level gives you little lotus tickets to decorate the background, and if you complete them, you get another to doll up..Version: 220000.1.195

Not challengingWay to easy, but I do like the game.Version: 1.1.0

CommentaireOu est le puzzle qui est présenter sur la page lors du download?.Version: 1.1.1

Freezes oftenKeeps freezing, even in the times challenges. Clock keeps going though and so you lose. Froze upwards of a dozen times in my first 30 minutes playing. Not worthwhile..Version: 1.2.7

About to deleteClick on start again twice and you lose 2 lives, no way of creating more coins when you are run out and pretty impossible to move on without any. Nothing calming about it ,very frustrating.Version: 1.2.4

Lives - Be more generousCan we please revise the amount of lives given? Alternatively, reduce the time to receive new lives? I love the game; but I will use another app if this issue with lives continues… it’s super frustrating. The levels have tiles randomly, sometimes you get lucky with matches early on, then sometimes it’s impossible within the first 3 moves. I love this - it’s great variety & keeps it from being boring - but not when we have restricted lives to this extent. It just doesn’t make sense for it to be that restrictive if the levels themselves are random. I’d rather pay for the game & have unlimited lives. Can this be an option?.Version: 1.1.7

3x coinsIt pisses me off that you got rid of the 3x coin option. 10 coins every time you finish, and then it costs more than 10 coins for some of the boosts, you basically have no chance of ever getting passed certain levels. It is really annoying..Version: 1.1.3

Worst Customer Service and Tech Support!!This game is not relaxing! It offers promotions, such as referring a friend, but then does not honor the reward. When I first started the game, I referred four friends,. The reward didn’t load. I emailed customer service and they did not want to give me the hundred coins I earned per new player. They grudgingly said that they would offer me 300 coins as a courtesy. What courtesy? I recruited four new players to your stupid game! I was dumb enough to try it again, referred another four players, and two of them signed up to play. I told the friend that Zen Match has a practice of cheating its players out of finders bonuses, so to please let me know when they load the game and start playing. Once confirmed with them, I asked for my bonus, and once again Zen Match, denied me. They said that “tech support” (in quote marks because it’s clearly a joke) doesn’t show me referring anyone to the game using my link. I sent back proof, both the invitation screenshots and screenshots of players at level 30 and level 100 of the game, respectively. They are not responding to my emails. I’ve emailed six or seven times with proof, no response. They are cheaters with hideous customer service who do not honor their agreements. This is not relaxing! What it is is pathetic. 100 coins is barely enough to get through a level, but at this point: it’s on! I want what I earned. Don’t spend your time recruiting new players!.Version: 1.5.1

Daily Puzzle time issueLove the game, constantly waiting to regain lives so I can play again. The problem i have found in the daily puzzle game is that whenever you get an add ( which is pretty much every second attempt) even though you think you have watched the add to the end, when you get back into the game you have started the puzzle on about half of its time left. This is a speed puzzle and having 90 seconds on some games is tough but you’re pretty certain to lose another life when it only gives you 40 seconds to play. And often when you complete the puzzle the next day it says you haven’t completed it and you start all over again. Have read that your gold coins can disappear, and it happened …had hundreds of coins and the 26 next time I logged in to play. Tired of the freezing of time and then losing time, adds, adds & adds.Version: 1.2.6

It’s too hardI don’t think you know what zen means because I know you wanted to make it calming and stuff but people are gonna get upset if they don’t win the thing and that’s not really Zen. It can’t be to hard .people won’t like the game if it’s too hard and know you won’t get feedback. so I suggest maybe closing down the game until you fix it to make it more easier because I’m just a kid so maybe just try to fix it a little but overall the the song is really calming and also I want to also change songs .when you’re getting bored of that song, you can choose a different song, so maybe you should do that. Oh, and don’t know if I got any words wrong don’t judge me I’m only in third grade:).Version: 220000.1.181

Full of bugs and glitchesDownloaded and deleted this game all in same day. Not only are the glitches absolutely frustrating. It is so full of flaws I had to delete it The game looks really bright. I love the idea of the room decorations. Although it’s not ad free I only seen a ad banner at the bottom of the screen which was refreshing. Then when you get to level 10 the ads then become annoying the higher the level the more ads were appearing. The game freezes, then shuts off every time it closed the game is lost. Then when it eventually opens back up. Not only are you back to the beginning of the level you had started all lifes were gone. Then you have to either wait 20 mins for a life to return. Or fall into a silly trap of buying coins and paying for life’s. Not only does the app freeze it drains the battery and my phone which is 3 months old. And the latest iPhone has over heated it has never had any problems before this game. My phone also froze twice and I had to reboot it. So don’t waste your time downloading the game the app has so many problems it should not be in the App Store.Version: 1.2.8

Constant crashingAds freeze up the game way too often..Version: 1.1.9

On the verge of deletingI’ve just passed level 400 in this game, which means I’ve sunk a fair bit of time into it, but now it takes me days to get past a single level because they’re not even possible if you don’t have coins. And I refuse to spend money on the game. I feel as though the level should be at least possible to complete without using coins, and over the last 50ish levels I don’t think that’s been the case. I’m honestly just going to delete this game because it’s not relaxing or enjoyable anymore..Version: 1.3.0

Okay gameI first got this game 2 years ago and it was so fun and easy, and everything was so cheap and it was easy. i continued to play the game until "super hard" and "hard" levels were introduced, and I swear the more you got them, the more it was based on luck, no amount of coins could help you. I'm not so bothered by that, but i still am. Now what annoys me the most is the price change in the power ups and the icon changes. The power ups were at a good, reasonable price and now they're not, and the icon changes makes the game look so animated. The game claims to be a "zen, calming" game, but whats not calming is how expensive the coins are and how often you get lives, it's so annoying!!!.Version: 220000.1.147

Fun game but too many issuesThis game is really fun but there are a number of issues/bugs and no way to speak to support, give feedback or lodge an issue - the app often lags - sometimes it doesn’t give you lives when it’s supposed to - the ‘zen place’ portion of the game is pointless to play: please add some game bonuses to make it worthwhile - the game will restart if you switch to another app so you lose your place and rewards.Version: 1.2.0

Zen match flawsI like the game and it’s very satisfying with designing rooms but having to wait 30 minutes for one life and in total 2 hours 30 minutes for full lives that can just be used up less than 30 minutes. Also something I don’t understand is if you lose you can pay for another life (if you ran out for) 200 coins but you can play on for 60. There’s flaws in the game that shouldn’t exist..Version: 1.1.6

Luck based not strategyI want to say that this has a great idea behind it but it doesn’t play out in practice. This is definitely a game that is all about luck rather than strategy, most times it’s impossible to complete a level simply because it’s luck of the draw…the tiles are random! I’m also disappointed because with every update it costs more coins to get bonuses/boosters but they don’t increase the amount of coins you get for completing a level…they want you to spend money which I refuse to do so it means I’m often stuck on the same level for a long time! It’s also very frustrating that when you complete a certain amount of levels you are then sent to ‘zen masters’. I assume this is because there are no further levels so they send you there whilst they make new zen rooms!?? Who knows why you get sent there. It’s purgatory. You can’t get bonuses, you can’t progress towards a chest of goodies (10 steps for rewards) and you don’t get lotus flowers for rooms? I have no idea why it’s there other than to give developers time to create new rooms because the levels that you play after purgatory are the same levels you’ve played before!? Like I said, the idea is there but a poorly managed development team.Version: 220000.1.194

Was good but now just money hungryStarted off as a good game. However, this is only up to a certain level. As other reviews mention then the levels turn so complex that it becomes a guessing game or forces you to spend money. The levels are clearly designed in a way where it is not possible to clear without spending coins that you need to buy with money. Kinda false advertising to call is a ‘zen’ game when it does the opposite. Wish I’d never played it at all. If you’re thinking of downloading it, just save yourself the frustration and don’t. Also annoying that you have to click through multiple ads to restart a level or start the next level. Just don’t bother getting it. Also find it kind of unethical that they start off the game with a quote encouraging good mental health when clearly they don’t care for it..Version: 1.4.4

Rigged game to attract purchases don’t pay themI paid for no ads (as there where so many of them) and to have 8 lives instead of 5 (which was expensive) only to find out that they take your extra 3 lives away after a few plays. I tried to restore purchases and it doesn’t work. The game is rigged so that you have to make more purchases to get to the next level. It is seriously bad - Don’t get sucked in and purchase anything, it’s not worth it!!.Version: 1.3.0

Don’t get invested!I really enjoyed this game until about level 170. At this point, like many other games with the same format of passing levels to accomplish a goal (word villas, project make over, etc.), it becomes impossible to pass levels without many power ups which require some kind of coins which cost real money to obtain (for the most part). They do not have any kind of daily rewards that are given. They have competitions where you can win stuff, but this requires passing levels which brings you back to needing coins and having to spend money. I have been stuck on level 178 for 4 days now and have used roughly 30 or so lives. I had coins and power ups in the beginning but used them all on this level and do not want to spend anymore money on the game to get more. Especially after having paid to remove ads which was $6.99 (higher than I’ve seen for any other game). Heck, I could buy more or less the same game on pc for that price and that would be the FULL game. I’m not sure why you can’t just buy phone games this way. I understand they are often being updated, but many games that you buy full version of still update as well, hints expansion packs. Phone games truly are money traps. I really need to stop hoping differently and finding myself disappointed..Version: 1.2.1

WAY too many adsWay too many pop up ads, I get that’s how the developers make money but there’s an ad after each level. You can pay to have ads removed but 8.49 is a little much..It’s a great game otherwise..Version: 220000.1.207

Beware!!!!Rip off!! I have spent so much money on this game and I love it but the makers apparently think if you’re stupid enough to spend your hard-earned money, you will be stupid enough to miss all the ways they rip you off. Where do I even start? They rig this game so you’ll spend money. For starters, 9 times out of 10 , when I earn my reward of infinity lives for so many minutes I am not credited. When you spend 10 coins to reshuffle the board, it takes MANY times to get a match to play. They want you to spend all your coins so you have to buy more! Also, it takes 200 coins to buy 5 lives… the closer you are to 200, the less amount of coins you receive when you “level up” after 10 wins. Again, they don’t want to give you enough to buy more lives because they know that once you’re addicted, you’ll spend the money for them! I expect that… after all, most apps are strictly created with profit in mind. However, this is beyond unfair! I love the game, I really do. But because of the number of times I’ve been ripped off, I’ve deemed it unworthy of my money and will now delete and look for a similar app. Their loss! I was a spending a lot! 💁‍♀️.Version: 1.1.1

Fun but irritatingWhen I have full lives and a lot of coins, this game is fun. But then I run out of lives and realize I need to wait a whole 30 minutes just to get one life. And then I finally get one life, and attempt the level, only to realize that the way the tiles are organized it’s almost impossible to beat the level, so I try one of the tools on the bottom of the screen. Each of these costs more coins than what you get for completing a level. So most of the time, you don’t have enough coins to use a tool and just constantly use your lives to try to complete a level that you basically can’t finish. And all of the things they have for you to do where you can “win” extra tools require you to pay to get good enough tools to actually help you. They just want money, past a certain level this game is just irritating and not any fun. Many times I have completed enough levels to win a chest, and I see that the line showing my progress is filled all the way to the chest…and then it proceeds to not let me open the chest. Another time it told me I had earned unlimited lives for 15 minutes, I finally filled up the bar and then again, it proceeds to not give me the 15 minutes of unlimited lives. Overall fun until you reach a little over the 100th level..Version: 1.2.4

Good but needs improvementsI really like this game i could play it all day if the lives didn’t run out so fast! However theres some annoying downsides to it… for one some of the adverts go blank with no x to click off them so the only way to get rid of them is to close the app but this takes away a life even though i didn't even get the chance to start the level. The ads are annoying too it would be better if they made it something like “watch an ad to get a life” because then id actually be getting something out if the ads… the lives run out too fast also. If they fixed these problems id happily put my rating upto 5 stars..Version: 1.2.4

Too many adsI actually enjoy the game a lot but the ads drive you crazy after a while. They go forever and are the same thing over and over. Almost every time you pass a level or click retry or even go to start a level you are forced to spend 30-45 seconds watching an ad on some other game. Each round only takes a couple of minutes so you end up watching an ad after every 3 minutes of playing. I have considered buying the game without ads but they want $9.99 which is more than I think the game is worth..Version: 1.4.9

Satisfying, but, no zen? It glitches?Zen Match is a perfect game to sit back an chill, and its extremely satisfying to match the tiles. But, there are TOO MANY ads! I understand that the game needs to throw some in but theres too much! I lost 20 seconds of my time in a daily challenge because of an ad. Seriously. The amount of lives we get isn’t fair, honestly we shouldn’t have lives at all. They chop through too quick, considering how hard levels can get. AND we have to wait forever for 1 life to come back. Its also a really glitchy game. The screen freezes every 15 seconds..Version: 1.3.4

It’s a good game just annoying thingsI like the game itself but what’s annoying is it says you start with 5 lives but you don’t it’s only 4 for some reason? I thought it may have been when ads came I would quit the app and then go back in but it’s the same without doing that. It takes 30 minutes for one life which takes forever and just makes you not want to play it when it takes so long..Version: 1.2.1

Too many ads, lives don’t refreshGame itself is fun, but I give this 1 star because there are way too many ads and the ads last forever! Like half a minute or more sometimes… it’s so frustrating… Then, lives don’t reset as you’d expect them to. 30 minutes to get a new life is already a long time, but I watch it sometimes, and it doesn’t even reset after 30 minutes. I once was on 0 lives and watched the timer count down to 0:00 (so I should have 1 life after that right?) then it went back to 30:00 countdown but still 0 lives. I once went and watched a movie for 2hours, came back to the game and only 1 life… even though it’s meant to only take 30 minutes for each life. Other than these issues, the gameplay itself is pretty fun, but the ads and the way the lives don’t reset properly takes away A LOT of the fun..Version: 1.2.4

Not bad could be a better experience. Too much ads omgThe main complaint is you can play like 10 to maybe 20 levels then after EACH LEVEL YOU GET A AD. Idc if that’s how they make money if you make it to where the gameplay stalls and you have to constantly watch ads just to play one level at at time they probably just made the game for money. I like designing the rooms but I barely can do that if I’m watching ads most the time I’m on the app that’s ridiculous. You could easily make it to where you watch ads to get rewards and the app wouldn’t suffer. Then they randomly raised the prices of everything to where you earned 10 coins still but the abilities costed more. They went back to regular prices but that was definitely the moment I almost uninstalled. What’s worse about the ads is if the app crashes you lose a life. Waiting 2.5 hours for your 5 lives to refill is ridiculous and it costs a lot to refill the lives with coins so that’s also pretty scummy. They choose to go with scummy tactics a lot of mobile games do yo make money instead of making their game playable. The game has potential but I can tell they just want to make money off the game and not make a good game.Version: 1.4.8

Good game need more rewardsGood game but lives and coins are hard to come by. Would like every now and then to get infinite lives for 30 or 60 minutes. Coins are hard to get so when I run out I’ll be deleting because some levels are impossible to complete without shuffling. Just finding it frustrating but has the possibility of being addictive if there were more opportunities to play longer. Also bug where I lose a life even though I’ve completed the level..Version: 1.2.7

Awful updateThe new update where you took away the shuffle, new cards, and undo is horrible. How do you want us to spend our coins?? This has made me want to delete the game. No fun anymore..Version: 1.3.1

Fun game, but…I have a few things that I absolutely cannot stand about this game. First, It’s super fun and addicting, BUT everything is so expensive. $6 to take away ads? Absurd. $4 to open a chest? Ridiculous. Another thing, the timer on the daily puzzles starts before the tiles are even laid out completely, which I think is super unfair because some of those levels are pretty hard. It also glitches and freezes when you try to beat it too quickly. I messed up and ran out of room with 25 seconds left on one of them, went to the screen where I bought enough coins to continue the level, only to go back to the level and it said I ran out of time while I was in that screen PAYING FOR THINGS and wanted me to use even MORE coins to continue playing. I almost deleted it after that but chose to stick with it a little while longer. I do wish they would add a “start” button on the timed levels so it’s fair, rethink prices on things like ad removal, and fix the glitch (if it is one) about time running out after it asks you to buy coins to continue the level..Version: 1.3.0

Love it but the lives???Don’t get me wrong, I love this game and it’s pretty enjoyable but the lives are a whole other story. There’s a maximum of 5 lives which personally I think that isn’t too bad but it takes 30 minutes for one life. 30 MINUTES???? They go pretty quickly (the lives) and it’s just not that fun to play, especially when you barely even get the chance to play the actual game. The concept is really cool as well and I feel like it’s just kind of potential down the drain. Despite this, I’d still recommend it - if you’re patient enough..Version: 1.1.9

Ads getting worst and money hungry!The ads over the past two years have gotten to a ridiculous point I’m thinking of just deleting the app. Daily puzzles use to reward you with 10 coins and 1 lotus but now you only get the coins so it’s harder to complete rooms. The normal puzzles are basically impossible to complete. I have to save up a weeks worth of daily gifts and a weeks worth of coins from the daily puzzles to complete one normal level. It’s like they rid the game to get people to pay real money for bonuses/gifts/coins. NOT ZEN AT ALL.Version: 1.3.8

RuinedI’ve been using this app quite happily for weeks now. Then I run into a ‘super hard’ level that is impossible to do unless you spend money, lots of, buying coins. The coins are for redos, there’s no skill in that particular level it’s all chance. So delete, plenty of other apps out there like this that don’t do that..Version: 1.4.3

Fun but…I enjoy it, but it seems the higher I go, the more impossible the levels are. I’m on level 549 and I have been trying to beat it for days. It doesn’t help that each time I try again, the tiles have completely randomized so I can’t even use a strategy to try and win it but instead it’s chance all over again. I also wish there was a “watch an ad” feature to earn a life. 25 minutes for one life is insane. I do wish to play endlessly and get my zen on but I can’t do that when it takes 5 lives to one level. I also earned all of the rooms and stopped earning blue things which is fine but if the game updates and has more levels, I could have earned A LOT of blue things if I would have just waited for the update. If it wasn’t for that I am still unlocking backgrounds, I’d have deleted it. I also wish I could use my coins on other things like lives. And if not, to at least earn coins more quickly… or to earn more coins per level but keep the helpers the same price. They’re costly, and for no reason. Having a “watch an ad” feature for these would also be great, especially for the helper that costs 60 coins. Overall, it’s a good game, but the cons have me wanting to delete it more every day..Version: 1.0.6

Nice game BUT…Soooo many ads. Which makes for a not very ZEN game….Version: 1.2.4

UmLove the game but the adds are just ridiculous which ends up making the game less enjoyable. another thing is with the daily puzzles when your on a timer it’s not nice that my time is taken up by having to watch a add sort it out please.Version: 1.3.3

Glitchy???I love this game, I wouldn’t exactly call it “zen” but I enjoy it. I like that I only get ads after or before a level and not in the middle but I have noticed that it’s been quite glitchy recently, I’m not sure if that’s just my phone model (iPhone 6s) or if there are bugs that need to be fixed in the app. I also noticed that you guys increased the price of shuffles, undo, and deck splits… not cool :/ especially since each level only gives you 10 coins. I have no problem watching an ad to play a level but when it comes to daily challenges sometimes an ad will pop up and it will take time off the timer leaving me with less time to solve the puzzle and losing a life. Please consider fixing these things but otherwise, great app I’ve had it since October, haven’t had too many issues up until recently..Version: 1.2.4

Ended up deletingI think I progressed too far in the game. I was doing the puzzles for the sake of the puzzles and got to the point where there was no more “coloring scenes” to change. I still had plenty of blue flowers (though, I stopped earning those per level too) for when future scenes came out so I kept going just focused on the matching gameplay. I kept running out of coins which the game kept offering me in exchange for actual money (which I did once). I needed the coins because the levels were more challenging at this point. I waited until I passed the level by sheer luck and watched the ad to triple my sparse 10 coins earned to 30. The button wouldn’t always work but I figured it was my phone being weird. Except now the button is gone. If I can’t get coins efficiently without regularly spending money, I’m not going to continue playing. I just beat the game and now I’m done. 🤷🏾‍♀️ It gets two stars for the actual gameplay. It was challenging at times but not terrible until I passed the “expected threshold”. I do think if coins are spent for at most 60 for the most expensive assist, the award should be 20 or the multiplyer should be 6. Some of the harder puzzles use at least 2 of these..Version: 1.1.1

Beware with the purchaseA couple of times, I bought the piggy bank and after only 2 days my coins disappeared and the piggy bank was full again. It’s almost impossible to fill up the piggy bank after only two games as the games are quite difficult to solve. Reported and only once they restored my purchase. Few days ago I noticed that the lotus number didn’t add up although I solved the game. Reported and got the standard automated reply but it DID NOT solve the problem. I feel this company used the same tactics with the coins purchase. So just play but don’t bother to buy their coins especially the piggy bank!!.Version: 220000.1.181

Fun at firstUpdate - game keeps freezing for daily challenges and then when it starts again the clock has winded down. I have to play the daily challenges to get enough coins to try to attempt to beat level 619. Which is impossible. Maybe beatable 1 out of 100,000 times. ***** This game was fun at first, but I’ve gotten to the point where the levels are basically impossible. They also have arbitrarily changed the coin cost for the hints and made it much harder to get coins from streaks. And their cost for coins is way to high for what it is. I wouldn’t even be tempted by it since it will only help for maybe 1 level at a reasonable price. But yeah, once you get to a certain level they are impossible without the hints/power ups, and getting those is hard when you can’t earn coins. Unless you save up for weeks on the daily puzzles and freebies. But you’ll be on the same level for a very long time at that point. I don’t think I’d even try to use them on the one I’m on, as it’s a lottery on if it would even help or I just waste a lot. Basically at the point of quitting, since it’s practically unusable now..Version: 1.2.7

Money grabThe game has too many adverts, and is a bit of a money grab!.Version: 1.2.2

Zen MatchI was hoping that a big part of this game wasn’t pure luck. I don’t like that it’s pure luck if you reveal a hidden object that you need. I deleted it after 2 days..Version: 1.1.3

Money grabI’ve played this game for months and it used to be fun until I updated it yesterday. Now the levels are impossible to beat without helps and basically the only way to get helps now is to buy them. I’m very disappointed. I will no longer be playing this game..Version: 1.2.6

Waste of timeThis game is okay at the beginning because it’s easy…but when get so far its almost impossible…I was in a round and I left the game when I had one life I went back into the game I had to wait another 30 MINUTES TO GET ANOTHER LIVE WHEN I DID NOT DIE such a waste of time and a big money grab!!!!!!. This game would be so good if we can always have the unlimited lifes….Version: 220000.1.195

Can’t win levels without paying for coinsI love this game and would happily play it for hours. I probably already have as have completed 500+ levels. But to do so I’d have to spend a lot of money. I fell for the Zen Pass, spent £10 and got virtually nothing for it because I couldn’t get past the super hard level 578. To gain the benefits of the Zen Pass you have to win levels but some are impossible without a load of coins that you have to buy. I have lost track of the number of attempts I’ve made at this level and it’s clear there’s no way to win without a purchase. Whilst I appreciate developers need to get money back for their games, having opaque elements to buy such as the pass and needing constant additional coins to win levels means it’s too easy to spend £20 or £30 just to pass a level. Such a shame..Version: 220000.1.102

Don’t know what that update wasI love this game as I love to do loads of puzzles, but this one is so frustrating. Firstly, the zen rooms are beyond ugly so despite me adoring decorating games, I can’t take to this one. You can’t do anything you want with a room, you’ve just got to pick the best of the poor options given to you for the room. The colours are all the same and just looks gross all together. This game updated today which I was excited about as it promised new boosters, but actually they’ve just swapped the boosters for ones I already had and, in my opinion, these ones are worse. You can’t choose a booster to help you finish a few more tiles so instead you have to use loads of coins to continue playing. You don’t earn many coins in the games and lives go down like anything so you’re pretty much stuck with starting over. Also, with the new update it swapped what level I was on so when I went to try to complete a level again this morning, it was a completely new game. Very strange, but would appreciate a few of the updates not happening and maybe a change to win unlimited lives for 5-10 minutes like you get when you first get the game..Version: 1.3.4

Ready to delete!!!I liked this game to start with but its so hard to get past the super hard levels without spending money!! Took me weeks to get past the last super hard level and only managed it after saving up coins! You now charge 20 coins for the scramble instead of 10 coins which is another obstacle in getting through the super hard levels! What happened to the lotus’s? I haven’t earned any for ages!! This game is anything but zen! I used to really enjoy this game but not now. And how long are you going to have the boosters as coming soon?! Sort it out!.Version: 220000.1.181

Too many adsRelaxing game but too many ads.Version: 1.2.9

It’s okIt would be better if the timer didn’t run when the ads play, hence I’ve rated 2 stars. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to pay $10 to get rid of ads.Version: 1.2.7

LivesWaiting 30 mins for ONE life can be frustrating especially when most of the levels take around 3-4 tries to complete. And there is no way to get lives except waiting. also the coins are hard to get especially when you cant complete 1 level and need to use the coin “power ups” you have no coins because you have been stuck on the same level therefore no coins income. these are the only 2 flaws i can see.Version: 1.2.7

False advertisingNot only is it not zen( cause it frustrating as F$#@) your tile amount is not like advertised, barley increases. Also become so hard at only level 100 that you will use all your lives on one game and not progress at all. convenient I’d think since they ask u to pay if u want more lives without waiting. The decorate a room part is sad in deed, you get 4-5 colour choices and they are mostly brown all beige- grey colours and that’s all you get to do is colour with their small choices. BORING!!.Version: 1.1.3

Glitches?No because it was so good before but now when you run out of lives it starts the countdown until the refill will occur but you go back like half an hour later and you still have zero lives and the countdown has restarted itself. also you used to be able to force close the app when you ran out of moves and then go back in without it counting as a heart lost but now you can’t do that and it just lowkey makes it less fun bc you can only play for like 5-10 minutes at a time before you have to wait again.Version: 1.1.9

Tempted to delete alreadyDownloaded the game due to the ad, which only showed dice being matched. My wife has gotten to level 84 and is still waiting for the dice screen... my wife wanted a very simple game, like the one advertised, but this game isn’t as advertised. Frankly, she is tempted to delete due to it not having the screens as advertised. The in-game ads keep crashing the game, are so frequent, and pop up in the midst of a level..Version: 1.2.3

It’s a no from meI’ve been playing for a week, at level 317, have “created” 18 completed rooms which is your reward for playing. I’ve spent probably $40 on game play ‘coin’ in order to complete a level so I am allowed to add one more color to my ‘room’. But I’ve just deleted the game. Great concept, really enjoy the more meditative experience of gameplay, but the quantity of ads is simply too much - basically a 10-30 second ad every time you transition from one screen to the next: finish one game and want to go to the Home Screen? Ad. On the Home Screen and want to go update your ‘room’? Ad. Going back into game play? Ad. $5.99 to remove ads which I would be willing to do if the game wasn’t such a blatant pay-to-play setup. There are levels you simply cannot beat unless you use game coins - don’t get me started on the timed challenges of the daily games - some are just impossible without use of MANY game coins. I spend a lot of time and money on app games and this one just isn’t designed well enough to hit the sweet spot of ‘challenging but doable’ and I’m not interested in supporting a developer who clearly just wants to grab ad dollars and make players spend money to play with any real ease or enjoyment. Want to entertain your kids for a minute? This could work - but for anyone with an attention span, I believe this will just be a frustration..Version: 1.0.8

Frustrating timerIs it just me or the timer for the lives doesn’t work very well ?! Actually it’s very annoying !!.Version: 1.1.9

After level 100 can’t playAfter you reach level 100 it’s impossible to play without losing every time. This game sucks.Version: 1.1.3

Ads are sooo longDescription says play for 10 minutes a day for relaxation. Ads are 30 seconds long and not relaxing at home. Ads are loud and horrible. Unless you want to spend $$$on buying hacks it takes ages to progress..Version: 1.2.3

Great game but…Some levels are just impossible to do so you have to pay to finish them… love the game but it’s getting frustrating not to be able to finish some levels with paying….Version: 220000.1.194

Would be my favorite game if the money grabbing wasn’t so aggressiveTo open the game, you have to click through 3-5 screens advertising bonus passes ($9.99) and competitions that you can’t enter without shelling out a lot of money. You win about 10 coins per level but the power up’s cost anywhere from 10-90 coins and the levels are not guaranteed winnable hands. Sometimes you’ll use hundreds of coins on a single level just to make it playable, especially once you reach higher levels (I’m somewhere over 400). You get 5 lives at a time, it takes 25 minutes for each life to reset. The cheapest coin purchase option is $1.99 for 125 coins. To refill your 5 hearts costs 400 coins which costs about $12-20. To get unlimited play for 6 HOURS costs $40. This isn’t on par with other popular games like Beat Star that costs $4.99 for 1 week of unlimited play, and they have to pay licensing fees. These game makers are just greedy. I wish you could go back and play the daily puzzles, even if you can’t earn coins because those are way more fun than the regular levels. I also had over 2000 lotuses and very few completed rooms, came back to find over a dozen rooms I never completed and barely any lotus flowers. Really shady..Version: 1.3.6

Starts off easy, becomes impossibleThis game starts off extremely easy… so much so you can get up to level 50 without using any helpers (such as redo, mix the tiles, etc). Around level 75, you find yourself needing helpers sometimes. Around level 100, you find yourself relying on helpers for every game. Now I’m at level 115, there is virtually no way for me to pass a level without helpers (I’ve played the same level 20 times now… it’s impossible) and the only way to get helpers is to pay money for them!! I don’t mind games with ads, I’ll happily sit through ads so I don’t have to pay money. Unfortunately this is the end of the road for me, so I’m going to delete it. Fun while it briefly lasted..Version: 1.1.9

Good game the Zen is ruined quicklyFun game, I was hoping to get that board like in all the ads but it is basically Mahjong - which I still like. Speaking of ads - boy do they make sure you see them. After EVERY game an ad pops up and you have to close it 3-4 times every time. It’s a bit much. I don’t mind that they use ads to keep this game free, but having to close them 3-4 times every time after every game gets pretty annoying. Also, the app reloads if you move away from the app even for a moment. Kind of sucks when you are far along on their ‘fortune path’ and they reset it on you checked a text or had to take a quick call. :( I ended up deleting this app because of these issues..Version: 1.2.2

Keeps crashingThe screen keeps freezing and it keeps crashing.Version: 1.2.2

What happened?What happened to the other boosters? I’m level 262, and the mixing, move re-do and extra level tiles are all gone. Replaced with a +1 move that isn’t helpful. Even in the daily game where you could win boosters, it’s now coins?.Version: 1.3.0

Fun game but feels riggedI enjoy this game until I try to use a shuffle. It loses its “zen” when I shuffle 10x or more and fail to find the ONE tile I need. It never is random. It seems to want you to run out of game coins, putting winning within reach and then continuously hiding the ONE tile you need. I refuse to spend actual money on this game after seeing how rigged it is. Why would I put my money in a game that I know isn’t “fair”? Whatever this strategy is - is backfiring. I regularly put money in games that I enjoy, but by so blatantly rigging the shuffles, I will NEVER give you my money. You've lost my trust in FairPlay with this game. I can have 20 shuffles built up and 20 tiles left and yet my tile never appears. Statistically, this is almost 1 in a million that one tile doesn’t appear, yet it’s happened to me REPEATEDLY. I just blow through shuffles stubbornly, cursing the game as I get to my final one and still no tile. Takes the fun out of it knowing there’s no way to win. Shuffles are useless. If you don’t get the tile you need on the first shuffle, just take the L and move on. Learn from my repeated mistakes. Disappointing..Version: 1.5.2

Not so Zen!At first the game was great! Then the advertising started! After I paid $4.99 a month for more lives etc and $2.99 for the gold pack which gives you a very small amount of coins, the game became impossible to find matches! If you pay more, that’s the only way but my God, way too expensive! If you want no ads it’s another $5.99! The adds make you want to throw your phone as the are constant! It’s the same ads over and over. Not so Zen after all!! So I’ve had enough. This is an update. I liked the game as I could play while I had no internet connection. When the ads started I was unable to clear the screen. I’d hit the x button and it would only take me to a screen for the app but it would not close saying no internet. I kept having to restart the game. I’d lose a life, again. It happens all the time. I found I was overly frustrated with this zen game. I found I would get Mad over silly things after playing. Sorry after losing over and over. There is no purpose to this game any longer. It is a fail, try again to pure madness of a waste of time. It’s time for the game to go. Nothing worse than a game to calm you but you just want to throw the phone in a wall because it’s impossible to play. I’ve paid for the monthly one time and additional lives. But no more. What a waste of a good game..Version: 1.3.0

Not that greatThe higher levels are impossible to win. The game is nothing like the ad for it either..Version: 1.1.3

Stuck on level no skill requiredI have loved playing this game for a while now but I got to a certain level and got completely stuck. I have been trying to move on for so long but like other reviews it’s not about skill it’s about luck of the draw. I have studied and studied each time I tried the level and but it’s obvious their is no path to the right answer but sheer luck. I have even given this level to someone else to try and they have the same view. I also can’t see the point of the stupid easy step before the main level? Can someone explain this frustrating stage? Ads are so frequent too. It’s a shame because the game is actually good. I’m going to delete it now after trying for days. I’ll find a new and more frustrating games to wind me up and delete 😂.Version: 1.1.9

Great game! But please stop updating it so muchListen, I love this game and I have for ages! I play it whenever I get bored and it’s a really great way to pass time (that is until I run out of lives which happens way too quickly and I really don’t see a point to having limited go’s) however recently the developers keep adding and removing features from the game and every time they do reverse an update I get a wave of relief. The new features are so annoying, like the raised prices of the upgrades and boosters, the removal of the boosters all together, then the re-adding of the boosters but also including some other strange upgrades that you buy before you start the game, and now it’s ridiculously high prices for the boosters that you can get whilst playing the game (like the shuffle and the redo for example) I find it so tedious and annoying that every single time I click on the app something has been changed whilst the creators probably think they’re doing a great job when in reality they’re completely ruining their completely great game. I truest believe this app has the potential of becoming as popular as other games such as candy crush but because of the stupid updates that keep happening and the completely overpriced upgrades and the pointless limited lives, the game is being held back greatly..Version: 1.3.4

Freezes and shut downGame constantly freezes, shuts down can’t even finish one games..Version: 1.2.6

To many adsI love this game but the amount of ads during the game is ridiculous, you have to watch an ad before you play and another one when you finish a level and it’s incredibly annoying. I haven’t been playing as much because of the amount of ads as it gets quite frustrating and it’s the same ones over and over again so you don’t even get variety with the amount of ads you have to watch 🙄.Version: 1.3.3

Let down by monetisationI’ve enjoyed this game for a while and spent a fair bit of money on it. Unfortunately, the costs to buy additional coins and boosts are unrealistically, unreasonably high, and the developers have just put up the price in in-game coins to buy boosts. It’s a money grab really and I’m going to have to delete it - it stops being fun when you feel under such intense pressure to spend. Additionally, every so often you hit a level where it’s too difficult to strategise your way through because not all tiles are visible - too much luck/randomness in some levels means you get stuck and run out of lives, again pushing you to pay silly money to continue. Not worth it, save yourselves and stay away. It’s a shame, it’s otherwise pleasant and enjoyable. Dear developers - you are pushing too hard and undermining yourselves..Version: 1.2.4

Rewards Just Aren’t Worth My Time!I liked the art of the tiles to match and enjoyed working out the puzzles, for a while. I actually spent real money to get the boosters that let you pass the hard levels, but all they did was take my money without giving me the boosters I paid for. So you beat the levels and get the tokens to decorate your zen room, but unless your favorite colors are all shades of brown, not much from which to choose. Occasionally there’s a dull blue or green, yippie. (Why the tiles have such pretty colors and the rooms have such ugly ones I’ll never understand . . . ) Then make your selections from those boring browns, spend the tokens, and surprise! Next time you log on, your changes are gone, you’re back where you were, however all the tokens spent are still gone and you have to earn them back again. Oh, by the way, lets say you click the support button for help, right? You get your choice of various articles available to read, none of which have anything to do with the problem. So you’re told to contact them for more help. Guess what? There’s no way to do it on site. I spent over an hour traveling down every rat hole, still nothing. Bet that really cuts down on wasted customer service time if customers can’t find you to complain. Congratulations, I’ll be deleting the game soon..Version: 1.1.7

Fun but annoyingA very fun and addictive game, however some ads freeze so you have to exit the game and watch another ad again in order to play. There are too many ads too often and sometimes you’re shown and ad but the game won’t actually start when it finishes, again, causing you to watch another ad in order to play, which gets annoying. Most games are totally randomised, with the exception of daily puzzles so you need to have a lot of coins if you want to have any chance at completing the more difficult levels which is really frustrating. There also seems to be a bug with the daily puzzles. When you go to play a date, the “play” button often doesn’t even work. You have to tap it a lot to get the game to start a majority of the time and it becomes really frustrating..Version: 1.1.5

Not ‘zen’ or relaxingFirst few levels easy and lots of coins, then quickly gets difficult to pass without spending coins, but it’s very difficult to earn coins. Lives take a looong time to come back so the game is very obviously rigged so that you have to spend money to buy coins, or you’ll be waiting til next time you have spare time to play again. Ads are frequent and even with all sound and vibrations off within game and phone on silent, ads come on blaring. There’s also no dark mode. Oh and there’s this weird decorating room where you spend lotuses that you’ve earned and the colours you have to choose to decorate it are really ugly. Also, the first screenshot of game play doesn’t actually exist. Oh and if you leave the game to do something else briefly you’ll come back to a lost life and have to start again. In the higher levels you try to bank your coins, but guess what? They randomly disappear between shots. I really enjoyed playing the actual game but they don’t want you to enjoy playing the game - it’s rigged in so many ways to try to force you to pay money. DELETING.Version: 1.2.7

Beware!The giant board you see with all the tiles in the ads DOES NOT EXIST. First few hundred levels are pretty easy then they switch to next to impossible quite quickly and then only way to get through is the spend spend spend. The earlier levels are quite zen though, so my suggestion is that you can go back and play the old levels, rather than giving up when they get to impossible Recommend you avoid. Or maybe play for a month or so then delete.Version: 1.2.7

Make the game the sameI don’t understand why when I play the game I have constant ads and to do previous daily challenges, I have to watch an ad to unlock each one. This wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t have my friend sitting next to me having 0 ads on her game and she can do the previous puzzles any time she wants. I would buy the ad free version but you seem to not have an option for it. So why do we pick and choose who to give ads to? Other than that absolutely love the game!!.Version: 220000.1.181

Was loving itDear Zen Match. I had been greatly enjoying your game until I reached level 323 “Through My Window”. Raising the amount of games needed to “decorate” each item to 5 each, and doubling the number of items to color per room, seems likely a petty money grab. Not only that, but for some reason, I now have to play around 50 games to win one. You say that each game is winnable without boosters, but it is not true. I downloaded your game to be played offline because I am extremely poor. I cannot afford to buy my “gold” or extra lives, so I must play with the 30 coins I can win for free, and do so at only 5 lives at a time. I used to really enjoy the peaceful music, humming it to myself even when not playing. Now, I have to mute the game because the music is a reminder of the futility and frustration that has replaced my enjoyment. I used to play your game for many hours a day. Now, I play for about 5 minutes a day, as that is how long it takes to use up all 5 lives. I am so disappointed. Is there a way you might correct these issues, so that your lovely game can return to its former Zen pleasantness? I’m sure I can’t be the only one who is experiencing this same disappointment. Thank you..Version: 1.3.9

Don’t bother downloadingThis game was great for the first dozen levels and then all of a suddenly it becomes impossible to pass a level. I have been stuck on the same level for over a month and I try to pass it everyday. You can’t pass half of the levels without buying coins and even with coins, you still can’t pass them. I’ve saved up enough coins from the daily levels to try and pass the hard ones and apparently 200 coins still isn’t enough. The game is completely rigged and not worth the frustration. There are plenty of other matching games that aren’t made just to steal your money, try a different one instead of this..Version: 1.3.1

Just okBecomes unplayable after level 160 unless you start dumping money into it. I have to agree with the other reviews..Version: 220000.1.194

The lives system is incredibly tedious to deal withIf the blatant cash-grab mechanic of the lives system wasn’t in the game, this review would be 5-stars. It ruins the experience to be halted to a stop when playing the game. Maybe the lives system could only come into play on the daily challenges? Asides from the irritations that come from the more money-seeking elements of the game. It’s incredibly relaxing to play, and should the flaws be ironed out I would recommend this experience..Version: 1.1.9

No skill needed - it’s a let down - guess work!Although I started off loving this game’ after a while of playing it there is no skill needed as it leaves you to completely guess what would be under a new tile. This obviously wants you to spend money to be able to pass levels. Otherwise you just keep waiting for your hearts to fill up so you can guess again! I like to treat myself to a few cheats once a week but this game won’t get a penny from me till they GIVE a little back. There is no way to earn in game coins or helps - so this leaves it impossible to carry on without spending money every time you play it. Not from me! Please try and modify this game or you will have players leave very quickly. What a shame..Version: 1.1.6

Good game but very costly! No support from developersReally liked this game, it’s addictive and fun. Then I realised that 5 lives lasts about 10 mins and it’s 400 coins to get more. You’d have to pay around £6.99 to get 375…just not good enough developers! On top of that you can buy a zen pass which cost around 2 or 3 pounds…worth it, as the rewards are good. When you’ve bought four you get a free one. I bought two then when it came to the third I realised the price had increased to £8.99! I decided (stupidly) to buy it but the transaction failed. It told me to try again, so I did. This happened four times then I gave up. I realised the next day that 4 lots of 8.99 had come out of my account. This is where the problems start because there is no support in the game! It directs you to Apple who are refusing to refund! An absolute rip off! Stay away from this game!.Version: 1.2.7
