Angry Birds POP Reviews

***updated 4/6/20 I may have to just delete this and be done. Every time I try to play, the game just closes. Yes, I waited for a new update. Yes, I shut down and restarted the iPad. What a disappointment. But I suppose my time would be better spent elsewhere anyway.

In the beginning it's fun and challenging and you can earn bonuses which are useful, but as the game progresses, you hardly ever earn anything and there are levels which you just get stuck on for ages. It's become frustrating enough that I just stop playing. Sorry, but I won't spend money for boosts. I don't even mind buying a game in the first place, but I won't pay to keep being able to play. I've had other games that I quit altogether and delete. A challenge is fine, but a total inability to pass a level without buying boosts or lives or whatever is just annoying and I'll be done for good.

I’ve played this game for several years. I rarely write reviews unless I just LOVE something or something happens that’s just wrong and the company won’t make it right. I really like this game, probably not enough to write a review, but it’s fun. However, not terribly long after I started playing the game glitched and I lost quite a few costumes that I had won. I just started over and started building my collection again. Even though I’d never paid real money in games, I did buy 3 season passes so that I would have the costumes. Well, it happened again! The game glitched and I lost everything. My costumes, power ups, and gems (over 10,000). I contacted support because this time I had lost things I bought with real money. They did replace the power ups and gave me 250 coins but that's all they would do. I didn’t let it go and told them it would take 50 to 100 thousand gems to replace what I lost so they gave me another 100 coins. They said they couldn’t replace the costumes and this was all they were going to do. I reiterated that I just wanted what I’d paid for and it didn’t matter at all. Come on! It wouldn’t cost them a cent to replace what I lost. They had no interest in making this right. My recommendation is play this game if you like it, but, under no circumstances would I recommend spending any money. They take your money and then they don’t care. Player, BEWARE!!!

First annoying thing, when I open app I’m hit with pop-ups (8 today) giving me all the crap that’s going on with the game. Nothing important I will point out.

Than the recent change of getting five extra bubbles at the end if you haven’t made it. It was allowed 5 times a day for the extra help. Now it’s only one.

Another annoying thing, when all you need is one of three color bubbles, apparently this game will give you an endless supply of the only color you don’t need. The highest was an 18 count and lost because I couldn’t get any one of the three color bubbles I needed.

No way to earn coins or special boost any more. It used to be common when this game first came out. The option to use gems to get a three ball option instead of two has went up to a ridiculous amount that it’s not even worth spending gems on.

The season and outfit/cosplay is a joke.

Over all, the constant changing of things in this game is becoming annoying, I barely come here. When I do come back it’s only to see if they changed it back. Now I’m stuck on a level that’s impossible to pass without a booster of extra coins to buy more bubbles.

One more time... and you will be gone away with like your most recent released game.

Maybe you should invest more time in the original games then these. But than again I noticed they too are being manipulated to get more money out of them than what I originally purchased it for.

Shame on you.

Rovio you Gotta stop milking the game and bring back the old Angry Birds and the rest please you’ve got to stop tricking people into downloading your games and tricking people into sticking with it if you can just make money with the classic Angry Birds and the rest of the games that you just discontinued then we can make an agreement right everyone oh and you got stick with other games going to success without getting mad or jealous ok and take down all of the games you put up and it’s still up and active please.😇Oh and get bad reviews Rovio on all of the games you still Active and you got to get rid of the active games you have and the new game you have do you have everyone that they like that are different like give the people who like education different education that they like and people who like ads or don’t like it give them that and you’ve got to stop ignoring all old game fans

I would give this game a five star rating if it weren’t for one thing, the ads. If you watch an ad, you can get a free life or a game boost, which is great, and I don’t mind seeing an ad because I realize it generates income for the company. But, trying to exit out of these ads has become so aggravating! You watch the ad, then to exit, you press the little x in the top right corner. But, then you are taken to AngryBirdsPOP Store where you can download the game that you just saw in the ad. So, you exit out of AngryBirdsPOP Store, then you are taken back to the ad page, where you hit the x again, then a screen comes up where you need to press another x. Then, a timer counting down five seconds comes on the screen. Once the timer is finished, the x is shown again where you attempt to exit out, but now the ad starts playing again, and a little icon comes on where they want you to play the game for thirty seconds. Then you are again taken to another screen that you need to exit out of, and the saga continues. By the time you get back to your game, so much time has been wasted that it really takes all of the enjoyment away, and the game is no longer worth playing, especially if you were planning to play for only a few minutes. Some advice: I think most people are willing to watch an add or two, but when you feel like you are being manipulated into playing the game in the ad, or downloading a game that you don’t want, this game is really not worth playing at all!

Played for over a year, once one of the best bubble games out there, but then one day in 2020 it all changed. And I had lots of good boosts earned to use and the game reset me. I still miss this game, and at one point I was once @ level 3774. But when it for some reason (assume updates or changes to the old layout of this game), I just took a break that day and come back to finish some quests and pop a pig and boom all my hard work was totally gone, it reset me back to level 1. I was so depressed as the fun was wiped-out of my heart and soul. I reinstalled several times after this happened again this year. In the month of March alone, I reinstalled it over 5 times, hoping to get back to level 3774 again, only to realized in defeat that 1) too many changes to the game 2) could not save on Facebook either as it would either mess up the guest bird or pop-a-pig would disappear and lastly and sadly at the end of my frustration all in the month of March too, soon I could not play the game anymore at all = as it now would close itself even when in the middle of playing. I finally surrendered in defeat of it ever working correctly as it once did..... and said good bye and deleted it. Note that it updates a lot now to load new items and due to that, etc, etc this and other updates may be why it froze all the time. Good luck folks.

This game was pretty fun I first started playing this game some years ago but now it’s nearly impossible to win these levels and that causes you to spend money on it. There used to be lots of ways to earn prizes and now it’s pretty rare to earn even 12 coins (the price to revive yourself)

I get losing but this game is just downright unfair. Once you get to the last few bubbles the colors of the bubbles will change when you swap them. But when you swap it back it goes back to the color you needed. The king pig levels are also very unfair. You need to get a streak of 6 six pops to get a power up but you don’t need a streak for the pigs to make the game even harder for you.

I get way too many pop ups when I first open AngryBirdsPOP and it’s the same stuff every time which is very annoying. This game was fun but now they just want your money so they make the levels harder than it needs to be and/ or very unfair

This could be a great game to play. It could be one f those games that you’d want to play every day - for a long time. But I don’t think anyone would find losing fun, and that’s all this game is after a while. I don’t mind losing - in fair fight, but this game isn’t fair.
Just a couple examples: If you just need one color(say yellow) ball to finally win a level that you’ve spent days on, and you’ve got 15 balls left, you’re going to get 13 purple balls and 2 green.
OR if you need a certain color to make a big play and that color ball is up, ready to shoot - You shoot it and by the time it hits your target, it’s suddenly changed to a different color.
I’ve played a lot of games and all of them get harder at higher levels; but they don’t all cheat you out of winning - time after time, like this one.
I’ve spent money on a couple games, but this dishonest ploy will never make me spend one single penny. I’d rather just play another game.

Rovio is cheating. It does not give the player enough bubbles to complete games, forcing you to keep buying more, or buy expensive boosts. And I noticed that the more you buy, the less often the colors you need come up to use, thus forcing you to waste some, and need to buy more again! Another way Rovio cheats: when you pop the glass bubbles that are supposed to give you 3 free bubbles, often you don’t get 3! You might only get 2! And when there are multiple glass bubbles together to give you 6 or 9 additional bubbles, watch carefully and you will find you only get 5 or 8. So, guess what? You have to buy more sooner! Another way they cheat you: not all the color-changed bubbles you hit after shooting a “Matilda” bubble will actually pop. Some will remain, forcing you to waste an additional bubble, so you have to buy more sooner! Rovio cheats and cheats and cheats.

This game isn’t a bad game, I mean it’s a good game from the Angry Birds series but I think lot of people mentioned before that thi was a copy cat off of other bubbler shooters but this seems different to me🙂. This game was great when it got soft-launched as “Stella Pop” but it has gotten a little different. First, why do coins cost so much??? It says you can get 50 coins for 4.99 but that’s just too much! Other of your games had this price for example for 4.99 in AB 2 you could probably get 150 gems 💎 but fer pop you only get 50 that’s kind of tricking people into paying money for such a little amount of coins in the game. So I ask you PLEASE bring down the prices to like, 2.99 = 100 coins okay Rovio? It’s not like you’re broke alrighty bye and please fix this✌️

This is the one game I always liked to play but it has changed. I don’t understand why they changed the prizes you get. They use to give you power up and now all they give is those stupid purple gems. I would rather get something I could use. They also give tickets but I don’t even know how or where to use these tickets. When you finished a quest at least you could look forward to getting a power up but not anymore. If I could at least use those gems to get power ups that would be fine too but I can only use them to put costumes on characters. I really don’t care what they are wearing. I wish they would change that or at least give you something you could use. Letting me know what the tickets and stuff are for would be useful too.

I’ve been playing this game since it launched. I’m nearing level 4700, and I’ve spent my fair share of (real) money on coins. When the game first launched, the rewards for hitting daily goals were pretty cool—get a Rainbow Bubble here, get a Crusher there, etc.

Then a couple of years ago, instead of regularly rewarding players with boosts, Rovio came up with these new “amazing” rewards—different colored tickets that enable me to play side games I’m not interested in, or purple gems which appear to have no value in the game unless I want to dress my birds up in meaningless themed garb. I stopped playing daily after that, but I would still do the occasional binge—and I still spent money to get coins for the boosters—65 coins for 18 Rainbow Boosters, for instance.

Now, in this latest update, Rovio has killed it for me. Rovio has increased the price of the boosters—and reduced the number you can “buy” at any one time. it’s now 32 coins for a maximum of *three* Rainbow Boosters. My coin balance is now at zero. It will stay that way, because I refuse to give Rovio any more of my money.

I’m sorry that you got greedy, Rovio. You had a great thing going.

Update: So sad. My favorite bonus game, the Big Red one suddenly disappeared tonight. It’s what I looked forward to the most. I need a new game.

This game is fun, and I have played it for years. Lately though, I have been so disappointed with some of the bonus games and features. First, I hate the purple gems for costumes. It’s a bummer when you work hard to complete a challenge and all you get is 50 purple gems. They don’t do anything. I also don’t like that there aren’t new bonus games every day or two. Now there is only one a week, and it gets boring. And where did the bonus level game go that gives you a different character player option go? That was fun. I miss it.

HOORAY! Don’t know if anyone else had the same problem, but I’m now able to get in the game, & back to Level 1430 where I left off, with the latest update sent today. Thank you 😁😁😁

Still waiting ...... please fix this. I have no other way to contact you. The game will pop up for 2-3 seconds, then disappears. If I delete AngryBirdsPOP , I’ll most certainly lose all my progress to date. Hope someone reads this ASAP. Thanks

Just did an update today, and now I can’t seem to get into the game at all! It shows up for a couple of seconds, & totally disappears. I certainly don’t wish to lose all my progress, as I’m way past level 1000. Can your techs please fix this? Thanks.

I agree with viewer Bayou No way to get feather in a couple levels. Wish your techs would fix this. Managed to get to level 56 w/out spending real money & no way to win that level. So I just delete the game & start all over.
As another viewer said, we should also get daily bird coins as in another AB game.
On level 59 - I can get 3 stars AND a feather , but have 15 more rows to clear! In other words, still lose. LoL. Oh well, the game is still mesmerizing

After the last update it won’t open. Besides that the game steals special items from you after it says you earned them. For example it will say you earned a crusher but when you go to play it the crusher isn’t there. Then it will give me tons of blue tickets but since I work nightshift and I sleep during business hours I never get to play the character mini games that the blue tickets go to so they are useless to me. I also can’t earn feathers now because the special characters are only available during business hours (9am-5pm EST time zone). Pretty much has taken away most of the fun of the game.

This is my favorite game, so I have no complaints there...

But for the last several weeks, whenever I press the Play button, the game goes into this download routine (0 of 86), and I have to wait through up to 5 minutes of some download before I can play. The download will fail the first few times due to my supposedly slow connection and I have to start over until it takes.

I don’t know what is being downloaded, but I have to question whether it’s necessary. I should probably drop a star or two until it gets fixed because it’s really annoying, even more than all the stupid ads that most games run between plays.

It didn’t use to be this way.
Please fix this problem.

Sorry for the one star rating, but Rokia ignored my message about the downloading issue. This has got to stop. I especially hate having to Download multiple times a day. Fix this or i’m gone. i’m almost to level 3000 now, just so you know how much I’ve allowed this to consume my life. If i’m downloading 88 levels like the screen says, I shouldn’t have to do it more than once a month. Are you dumping levels when I exit the game? What the eff is going on?

I will go back to levels that I didn’t get a golden feather. I earned the feather twice in level 167 but it did not give it to me. I use to be able to go back to the levels I didn’t a feather and try again and if I did make enough points to get the feather it would give it to me. Is this a glitch or now a rule that you can’t go back and try to get feathers you didn’t get before? I really like this game but I’m not happy that I can’t go back and try to get feathers that I couldn’t before. I would give you a 5 star but now it’s a 2 star and if you fix this then I’ll go back and give you 5.

I get frustrated, but I keep playing. I wish we could earn coins when we win a level. It would be more rewarding and help out a lot. Some other games I play do that.
Today is August 13,2017... New review: I am very disappointed when I send a message and no one gets back to me. I have been having problems when I buy crushers and want to use them and then the games blanks out and I lose the coins and the crushers. Please fix these problems. Thank you.

I am glad that we can earn more rewards now, but I still wish that we could earn coins instead of having to buy them all the time. Maybe we could earn them after playing a couple of rounds of piggy in the middle.

I found this annoying bug that I figured would be fixed by now. I’ve been plagued by this issue for at least a year. When I run out of balls, it asks if I wanted to play on if I watch a video... you get 5 per day. Almost anytime I play now, after watching a video once or twice and playing on, when I run out of balls again and it pops up to play on, it gets stuck. The button is expanding and contracting like it would (game isn’t frozen). It just won’t let me click on it. I have to close the game out and restart again. I’ve tried deleting the game and reinstalling without success. I have a iPhone XsMax. Not sure why this keeps happening.

I love this game, it’s so relaxing. I’ve been playing for a couple of years. I really love the extra 300 level trail play that goes on for a few days and you win prizes every 5 levels. The first was so good, not too hard, I made it through 200 levels and had lots of nice rewards. Second time, not so bad but now, third time, so difficult on some levels I haven’t made it past 14. No fun. I’ve played with good sport and spent money on all 4000 plus levels but please, the extra trail, don’t make it so hard.

Added next day, can’t get past 14 with Matilda until I spent some of my last coins. As much as I love this game I won’t spend another cent of real money on it if the next trail is too difficult to have any fun or win any rewards.

I used to love this game but all the recent updates have changed that. The most recent has now changed the Pop-a-Pig being the greatest to the worst. It makes no sense and since the change I haven’t received any tickets to play and no matter what time it is it says 20 hours til next ticket. Which brings up the issue of now instead of 2 tickets a day we get 1 to try to win a prize. Are the creators so cheap they can’t afford to honor a power ball or a extra play? After over 1400 levels of enjoyment I find myself looking for a new game to spend my money and time on.
