Collect Em All! Clear the Dots Reviews

This is a fun game that has you planning sequence moves several steps ahead! For me I find it relaxing enjoyable. However, there are a couple things that are really annoying! Especially for a person who paid the $9.99 to remove the very long depressing ads! Once I did all of a sudden I was unable to complete a level. Which means either you watch an ad, pay 100 coins or start over!! Very suspicious. AND, receiving free helps (rocket,etc.) seem to have been reduced. LASTLY…ESPECIALLY since I paid for this game, why do I have to pay for the coins in the “piggy bank” since I’m the one that earned the coins by playing your game?!?! I find this a little greedy on your part! Perhaps, you could change the piggy bank that once a certain amount of coins (like 1200, seems fair) are earned the player automatically receive half and then have the option to purchase the balance. Then the bank goes back to zero whether balance purchased or not and the player starts filling it again. It would be a satisfying goal for the player and you can still have the satisfaction that some players will purchase the balance at a lower price. The piggy bank idea should be used across the board with all of your games. Oh, one more thing, how do I add my name to the game board? Settings is very basic and doesn’t even have a way to contact for help. Thank you for listening!

Love the game but when I reached levels above 90 screen started randomly blacking out & when I restarted game I not only last my life but had to start all over again ! Also have bought lives AT LEAST FOUR times & because of above issue I have lost ALL of my lives after closing out & NEVER EVEN GOT TO MAKE ONE MOVE ! Would like my coins or lives back PLEASE. Would NOT recommend this game until it is FIXED really too bad because I really enjoyed this game until this all started happening! VERY FRUSTRATED Country Lady Seems as though somebody was paying attention to emails because WITHIN MINUTES THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED ! Hope it remains as such. Big KUDOS to whomever addressed the problem & a HUGE THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍👍! I LOVE YOUR GAME A VERY, VERY HAPPY Country Lady

NEW REVIEW !!! Very UNHAPPY I’ve been trying ALL day off and on and I can’t get game to load ! ! ! UNFORTUNATELY if someone doesn’t get this FIXED I will be forced to DELETE your app. I really like CollectEmAllCleartheDots but there’s no sense keeping if I CAN’T PLAY IT ! ! !

PLEASE HELP ME and RESTORE CollectEmAllCleartheDots so I once again can enjoy your app. Thank you for your time A VERY UNHAPPY Country Lady

At first, they gave free boosts and coins daily. Most games do this but this game has stopped having a daily claim after I’ve been playing a while. Now they keep upping the number of coins needed to move up the level.i don’t mind paying sometimes but they’re intentionally forcing people to pay continuously. Can’t and won’t be ripped off no matter how much it helps me relax, especially because I’ll bet I can find other games where everyday sign on bonuses are given. I usually don’t pay to stop ads but these ads are ridiculously morbid. Who comes up with them? I just close out the game when it’s obvious it’s designed to make me pay over and over. Don’t you realize that the ability to store up coins and boosts adds to the excitement of the game. I like the daily ‘race’. I also wonder why when I reached the ledge only once did I ‘win’ something. And, when the piggy bank is full, $4.99 to get the coins. Sorry developers, it costs too much to play. I believe you should receive money to play the game, after all, you developed it to make money…but you get $ for displaying ads…and I have paid, just that it takes away from the fun of the game when it’s designed not to win, forcing people to pay way too much to play. I hope you realize this because I’d think you want to keep customers. It is a fun and relaxing game.

I love this game! It used to keep me entertained for an hour or more . but there’s one really annoying thing I don’t like when you first open the game each day it has a spinner and you can spend once for free but if you hit the button for spin again it makes you watch an ad. And the ad is really long and it has no timer and no way out you have to close the game and open it up again. That’s disgusting. Some days I’m just not in the mood to wait 45 seconds watching a stupid ad for something I’ve seen 50 times before and I DONT WANT.

Also, I reached an impasse and I tried to purchase the bank of coins it shows the charge pending on my Apple Card but it doesn’t give me the coins in the game. So I went to the Apple store and I searched for this game and then I scroll down and then I clicked on the link that says “support” and all that does is take me to a website for promoting all their games (?) it doesn’t route me to any kind of support avenue. (Weee, our game is not working right… would you like to buy some other games that also don’t work and take your money?) The online world of virtual games has gotten to be a giant, greedy, Wild West of capitalism… BE WARNED, Pirates of the Play Store, there is a point at which we don’t take it anymore. There is a point at which we stop playing your game.

I absolutely love this game. However there is one major glitch that needs attention: after the level you earn the shuffle power up, and use it for the nest 10 levels it stops working. It'll put a box in the middle of the screen. The note you try to use it it'll show a bomb and a skull. The skull then will stay there until you finish the level. Another part of this glitch will only change the bottom left two dots if you tap in the right spot, and if you were to tap repeatedly you may get lucky and get the two left most columns to change. And it won't use the power up so you can do this a many times as you wish.
Again, this game is absolutely addictive and fun even though the shuffle is useless. Highly recommend this game.

New water droplet play……terrible New update….since this new version a couple of days ago, not sure I will keep playing…..some of it is great, the water droplet….not liking it at all, game used to be fun, challenging etc., now just frustrating….also the smaller version of the balls etc, very annoying for an older person. You know, we enjoy these games as well, so don’t make it harder for us to play. I love this game. It is addictive, fun, you are able to collect bombs etc and I am at the levels where you can decorate…not great decorations, but still fun and yes, makes you want to keep playing to collect points to decorate etc….I also wish they would put more “two dot” games, I love them. The only, “huge” downfall, is it eats your battery. If they would fix this, I’d be on it all day…😂 Just another thought….I don’t do the competition ones, just love the game, but, I realize the ads pay for the game, but, how about some real ads, not ones we know are questionable. UPDATE…. So, I still love this game, but, very annoying, I have completed decorating ALL of the rooms, and it still has “paint roller” adding up, which I can’t use on anything!! What’s up with this??
UPDATE……deleting this once great game, water droplet play is annoying and frustrating!!!!

It is a fun game but the makers really do nickel and dime you. They want you to pay to collect coins you’ve earned and at higher level. you can only win Quests for purchases. The algorithms also change during the level races so that you are pressured into buying extra rockets etc. or moves to try and win. When I reached a very high level ( well over 2000) I discovered that it was impossible to pass the levels without having to constantly purchase rockets, bombs and color shuffles). When I eventually, I ran out of lives, I refused to spend money to advance and deleted the sp to begin again at level one. . The best way that I found to play this game is to not purchase the ad fee version, not break your piggy bank, stay away from the level races. rest your device down and do something during the ads so you don’t get frustrated and be prepared to have to delete it and to begin from scratch. Also collect all the free stuff that is offered. it builds your coins and arsenal up quickly and you do not have to rely on purchases to stay in the game.

I play this game in free mode and enjoy it. Challenging but pretty easy to win. I recommend that you play it with the volume off because the ads are annoying and loud. It switches to and from ads very slowly, sometimes taking minutes and sometimes not reloading after ads at all so you have to exit the game and reload. Here’s the interesting part. My wife purchased the game and it seems totally different once purchased. Gifts and specials are less frequent. She is on the same levels as me and the levels seem harder, requiring extra power-ups/coins to win. I can’t be sure but it seems like the free version is a teaser and once you pay, they try to get you to pay more by making the game harder so you have to buy coins. That’s not cool. I am happy to support game creators by Paying a fair price for games but don’t be greedy. This is a good but slow loading $10 game. With all the other excellent games out there, this one isn’t worth $20.

I am on level 2760, and love the game. A few times I got to a level with the glass you have to break, and one was behind a 'rock?' tile so you can't break it even with a rocket rendering the level impassable. I updated CollectEmAllCleartheDots and it was fixed each time. Another is I get to one of the levels where you have to eat the dots with that worm thing and there are no dots, no worm, and no score to achieve. I had to use the skip level function and watch an ad to bypass. I paid for the no ads for a reason. It seems like a way to force you to watch an ad so they can make a few pennies off of me. As others have mentioned, the room decorating thing is lame, but it's annoying that I have 2000 paint brushes and nothing to use them on. When they finally do create more rooms, they are already decorated for me. Overall, I am to the point where this game isn't that challenging, but it is still fun and I continue to play.

I love the mechanics of games like this and this is no exception, but it needs some serious work. Around Level 100 it starts lagging and has to be restarted after each level, and it if you run out of moves and try to watch an ad for more it freezes and won’t let you watch or exit… you have to restart it and lose that life. Regardless of how much I like the game it’s not worth the effort as is and I won’t even consider paying to remove ads. If there isn’t an update to fix these issues very soon I’ll be deleting it and moving on to one that works as it should.

One very big problem aside from performance… the piggy bank. Players shouldn’t have to buy coins they have already earned. Even letting half of them go to the player and requiring payment for the other half would be better, but not getting them at all without paying is just money-grubbing on the part of the developer.

That along with the glitches makes it extremely user-unfriendly with zero regard for customer satisfaction.

I actually loved this game before it started glitching. It will not let you pass 54 on the leader board. Once you start getting really high on the leader board it starts to glitch and it takes your score down from what it was previously on. For example, I was number 32 on the leader board, when I passed the next level, it started me on the leader board at 115 and me going up the leader board from there, instead of taking me from the level I was currently at (32) and raising me higher. It went from 115 to 54 and will not let me move from there. It continuously takes me back down and restart from a lower score point. I have paid $4.99 numerous of times to “break the bank” but I will not be playing again. This needs to be fixed. Please do not waste your time on this game if you’re really competitive and trying to get up the score chart. The levels were fine, it’s the score chart that’s glitching.

I’m on level 400-something and noticed some very odd things about the rankings. Within a game or two, I’ll move back up from #whatever to within the top three. However, when I click on the leaderboards, it absolutely always shows exactly six players ahead of me, with exactly 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 more points than me. The leaderboard shows these rankings no matter if it is showing me at #18 or #1 on the main screen.

Also, when I use the reshuffle, it doesn’t actually reshuffle the board, it draws an entirely new board. So, if I need to get green balloons and there are 8 green balloons on the screen, I’ll reshuffle and then the screen will mysteriously have only 3 green balloons.

Lastly, the number of ads is insane. I paid the $10 to remove ads, but there are still “offers” for 2-3 ads after nearly every single game.

I really love this game and it is a real boredom buster. Unlike several other players here that mention the top spot being unreachable, I have been at #1 on a few occasions. I’m not sure what it’s worth since it’s only a second before someone else sweeps in and bumps you back down. The ads are a little pesky & I have considered spending the money to go ad free but have not just yet. My biggest complaint is that I can’t log in with my Apple ID & I would really like to. I’ve deleted the game & downloaded several times, I’m still not able to log in. I want to start fresh and save my progress, but at this point it doesn’t look promising. Hoping that the developers may notice my review & provide some assistance 👍🏽

I absolutely love this game, so much so that I bought it to support the development of it. But lately you have been constantly modifying the game with changes that ruin it. Thank goodness each time after a few days you would put it back to what it originally was. Now you have made another update and the game is completely inaccessible. I just tried to load the game and can’t even get into it. It’s simply going to a black screen with a white spinning wheel of death and promptly kicks you out. I tried to contact you through your website but there is nothing where you can report an issue and unfortunately that only left the option of leaving a bad review, believe it or not my very first one for any game. PLEASE, get this issue resolved and stop changing it. It’s really perfect as it was.

UPDATE: Downloaded the new update three days later, still promptly kicks you out of the game. Really missing my daily play, very frustrating...

Way to go guys! After the last update the boards aren’t impossible to win anymore. They aren’t annoying anymore. I can actually win again without getting totally stressed out and throwing my phone across the room. I would still like a Version that is like the original board with six down six across, but now the advanced boards are not nearly as impossible as they were before the last update. I can’t thank you enough and will continue to play! One last thing, please get rid of the clouds. You just can’t clear them quick enough. That’s the most annoying thing about this game right now. Other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing!

This game is great, my issue with the update is very minuscule but it genuinely is making me resent the game and want to quit. Essentially the game used to have themes for the background of the game board or the Balls in the game, they removed that feature which I’m under the belief was totally unnecessary. I switched my theme cause I preferred playing the game that way as opposed to the original theme and for them to remove a customizable feature is just irrational to me. I do not enjoy playing the game with the default background, and am most likely going to quit playing now.

Please fix this issue.

This was an entertaining, addictive game with only a few annoying bugs and quirks and the usual tedious, repetitive ads until the recent “update” when it literally became ridiculously unplayable! I like a challenge, but this is outrageous. I was almost to level 4000 when the insanity hit the fan. I’m very close to uninstalling CollectEmAllCleartheDots because the game just isn’t fun anymore.
FURTHERMORE I am now at Level 4456 and I really can’t get past it this time! I understand you want to add complexity to make it more challenging, but this is ridiculous. I’ve been playing for months and enjoying it, but I’m ready to uninstall the darn thing now. The decoration aspect has frozen and I have a million paint rollers I can’t do a darn thing with. I keep getting booted out of CollectEmAllCleartheDots or it freezes during an ad and I lose everything. And now I can’t get past this darn level. You guys ruined a perfectly good game!

I really do enjoy this game, my favorite part is actually doing the decor in the rooms. I had to wait a few days for a new room to become available to furnish- I was very excited when it did (The Bedroom)- However there is something wrong with it- I click on the +(item) button and there was only one item choice to be adding… So I added it, the I tan does not show up in the room- in fact it did this for every furniture/ decor item… The only time I actually see the room “I created” is on the Room Collection page, when I click the “view” button, again an empty room opens with a dot in place of the furniture - I wish I could submit a photo so you can see what I am trying to explain…

Anyone else having this issue??

I do enjoy this game. It’s fun, engaging and when you get the hang of it- it really is a great mathematical/pattern finding game. I was so into it that I paid to get rid of ads and purchased several bonus packs of coins, bombs, rockets and re-sorts to help get into those top spots once I cracked the top 100. What a racket. It took me a while to realize that no matter what I do- it’s impossible to get pass the 31st spot on the Leaderboard. It’ll just “pop” you back up to 100andsomething so you keep having to fight to get back there but you’ll never move up. And it doesn’t matter how many tricks you have or how fast you can pass a level- it just doesn’t happen. Disappointing that it is a scheme at this point. But they got me. I rated 2 stars because it is a good game but the fact that it’s a scam really ruined this one for me.

An update 1 day ago has messed up my entire game. The new bubbles/balls are freezing and one of them is enlarged to the point that it covers up my entire screen. The game is having difficulty recognizing when I touch it. The rooms I have designed are no longer accessible. I cannot work on a new room and I’m unsure why. I will click on the paint roller and I get a Wi-Fi sign in the middle of my screen with a line through it, indicating I am not connected, but I clearly am connected. I have restarted my phone several times and disconnected and reconnected to the Wi-Fi several times. Nothing has helped. All of this happened the first time I played since the update in a period of less than 10 minutes. This is very disappointing because I use this game to unwind each night.

This game is really fun to play. You level up quickly. And it’s super fun to see you pass all those other people. The only problem other people have is the ads. I don’t find anything wrong with them. In fact I enjoy them. But I still find it dumb that you guys add ads. I know it for advertising but still. I don’t think it’s worth it. People already post about how fun it is and addicting. It’s all over social media. My friend introduced this game to me. And I love it. Maybe not so much ads and we’ll be done with all the complaints. And the price you have for no ads are wait over the normal limit you shouldn’t even have to pay for it. This goes for every game like this. There’s nothing more wrong than the ads. There’s more problems for me personally. There’s the loading that takes decades. It just dosent wanna load. I know it’s not my bad wifi. But I sure do know it’s the games fault. Also it’s fact that you don’t get to decorate your background a lot. even if you have to level up. Still makes no sense. If you think that people like this. They don’t. There tired of the fact y’all put ads that no one wants to see. Then right after that y’all put more ads then expected other people to like it. and buy the “no ads”. Thanks for listening and reading. You’re welcome

I love this game because if you don’t have a move, it will show you a move. The dots will go up and down. That’s why I love this game and the levels get harder every time and it’s fine because you have to figure it out. This game is very fun, I say that you should get this game. There is a couple ads I think but they are fast ads so I say that you should get this game because it is very fun and it distracts you for very much hours. You can play as much as you want I love this game a lot is it does not do anything to your brain. It is actually kind of teaching you a little bit if you like, if you ever do this at school you can you have some ways to figure it out that’s why I love this game everybody should get it. It’s a very good game teaches you a little bit of moves and if you don’t have a move or you can’t figure one out it has the dots go up and down.

I have been playing this game, enjoying it greatly, really working to move up in the “leagues”. I have spent time, money and effort on it. In the past couple of days, a feature called “leagues” showed up out of the blue. You had to stay at a certain rank in order to retain your status. In other words, all the money you spent, all the time you put into playing would be wiped out if you didn’t maintain a certain position during the league play. I played as much as I could during that time, but a person has to sleep sometime! At the end of the segment, I was “demoted” back down to an extremely low level of the previous league. Every dime I had spent, every effort I had made counted for absolutely nothing through no fault of my own except that I couldn’t play it 24 hours a day. Changing the rules mid-game and negating effort and money spent by a player is a really cheap shot on the part of the game-makers. I will be deleting this game and I recommend that you stay away from it. It is not fair and obviously uses a cheap ploy to make even more money.

I’d like to give it more stars because it CAN be an enjoyable game. However the game gets stuck almost every time I play, especially with the daily wheel spin, so you can’t even collect what is due from the spin options. For example, if the wheel spin lands on an item and you want to collect the double value by watching the required ad, the screen just stays stuck and you can’t spin or collect the items you are supposed to be able to get. It has sometimes also gotten stuck in the game play itself so you can’t move to the next level upon game completion. I have to close out and sometimes have to wait until the next day to play again when it finally gets unstuck. I have also lost the ‘race’ competitions for the same reason - very frustrating. If this is fixed, I would give a 5 star rating. If not, I may have to delete and move on to something else that works consistently 😔.

I absolutely love this game. It has become addictive to me. However, it is annoying that you have to pay to empty the piggy bank. I hate that once my bank is full, all my earned coins go to waste if I don’t pay $5. And that’s each time the bank is full (it seems to be after 1000, 1500, 2000, etc). Would be nice if that could change, as it seems several users have issues with this. There is also a glitch that will occasionally force quit out of the game and when I reopen, I have lost a life and have to restart the level I was on. Sometimes I was VERY close to winning. Incredibly frustrating! I’ve tried signing in through apple to save my progress to no avail. I also wish there was a way to block ads. For example, I don’t want to have to watch/listen to an ad for a game about hunting or a ridiculous and sexist ad for “make over” games

I came here to see if there were folks like me having struggles with the game, to find that a version came out last week to “fix” things. It may have fixed one as the game has not crashed mid game at least. However, the watch a video for a free spin on the rewards wheel does not work and honestly, you need that stuff to play. I won’t pay money on this game so if that is their tactic, 👋 the game is just not that good. Stats do not update for other players so you are basically playing yourself. The race button does not work any more for me either so I can no longer do that. Not sure what they “fixed” but they broke a few things on the way. Another issue is as with many of these games, no tech support to communicate with. I personally don’t care as this game is just to waste time for me here and there but if you take it seriously, this game’s problems will annoy the heck out of you unless you have plenty of money to waste to get past it’s issues.

I was in the level 8000’s my app froze and no matter what I did I could not get it to complete or open so I had to delete CollectEmAllCleartheDots and reinstall it when I did and signed in my Apple ID everything I had was gone it sent me back to zero all of my extras all of my coins which I had over 200 K coins I have rockets and bombs in the hundreds. I don’t even mind starting over but I shouldn’t lose what I paid for. I paid 999 for no ads and they get three of each of the helpers and 1500 coins. I should still have that and I don’t this is false advertising and it’s a lie. My bank told me I should cancel the payment to you and fight for you to have to restore it.. I have tried multiple times to contact anyone through this company through Support and no one responds whatsoever. I am going to go to Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and talk about what a crappy system. This is that they do nothing anyone with issues. It’s a shame I really loved this game.

I definitely loved the game and actually got to an extremely high level. I’ve paid for a few things along the way. But when you just decide to update out of nowhere, and try and get me to buy skip it’s, and can’t get three free moves anymore, that’s where I draw the line! Every time I get close to winning a level, and actually only maybe need one of the three free moves, the buy skip it packages pop up when it says “no advertisements available” and even thought you keep exiting out of the buy packages, yiy can’t get the three free moves. I get that you have to make money, but when you tell people it’s an in ad free game, then it should be a free game! I paid $9.99 for no ads and I still watch them just to play your game!!!! I believe that’s enough! It got to be so bad with the “buy the skip it’s packages in order to proceed I decided to delete, and remove the game app. It’s a shame because I truly did love playing this game.

The fake and fraudulent commercial's regarding weight-loss gummies they claim Oprah supports will prevent me from playing at all if they are not removed by the end of the week. Overall they make us watch too many commercials, and the commercials are long and sometimes the long ones get stuck so you have to reboot the entire game. I also lost all my experience points recently due to an upgrade in the game. I contacted them and they wanted to know how I did that, when I didn’t do anything, but play the game, it was their upgrade that screwed it up, because I sent them screenshots proving that I had lost all my XP. I don’t play half as much sense that occurred because I was playing against my friends to see who can keep the highest score and win the most challenges, etc. and I automatically lost when the zeroed out my account and failed to return it to me.

I absolutely love this game! I sit down to play one or two levels and 30 minutes later I’m still playing because I get sucked in😜. However, in the last few days, some of the ads that I see when getting additional turns to finish that round will not close when the X comes up in the upper right corner. No matter where I click on or around the X, the ad will not close. This causes me to have to exit the game completely and come back into the game. This means I’ve lost the progress on that particular round. I’m currently on round 1,736 and losing progress at that level is very frustrating. Please work with your ad supplier and see what can be done to make sure all the ads function as designed.
