Comments on Best Fiends - Match 3 Puzzles for Android
★★★★☆A Google user· Jun 22, 2026
It's a fun game I love playing it. It kept crashing but they fixed that. The only problem is the ads. I know they need the ads to keep it free, but come on. A few less ads. I really like playing the monthly games and winning new outfits. There are somethings that could be improved, but it is a fun game. The only complaint I have is that you have to use the keys when they say you can't hoard them. I don't like this. Other than that it is still a fun game

Love the game! You can play forever without spending any money or watching any ads which is unheard of these days. Of course, you can buy or watch ads for extra goodies, but I'm on level 13070 and have not spent a dime, and I do not watch the ads. It's a strategy game save your gold and keys early, use them for emergencies only, and upgrade your fiends wisely. That way when you get to an extremely challenging level you have power ups and coins that you've saved to help you, then start saving again.

The game is fun to play but there are so many glitches, and I have lost my rewards even after finishing in first place in the tournament. This is so bad and disappointing to get zero rewards after you have been playing hard to secure your first place. Besides, timers for power up and booster don't work properly for me. I didn't get a boost start when my booster time wasn't over (12s still left when I started the level). I won't install it again.

Told you so !!!! Others have COMPLAINED about the same thing since I did........ don't ask for feedback if aren't going to do anything about the responses you get When the Mega-Boost is on either (1) suspend the time of Mega Boost. While the in-game pop-ups happen or (2) don't have the in-game pop-ops happen at all while the Mega Boost is in effect. Update that for the game !!

This used to be my favorite game, but got tired of all the distractions from the main game. Recently, I started playing again. OMG, it's so much worse! I got a timed "gift" when the game loaded and time started right away, but I couldn't use it because I got multiple popups to spend money, then was FORCED to play a side game with no way to X out. By the time I finally got to exit the side game and play the main game, my boost only had seconds left. Greedy, uncaring devs ruined a great game.

There are intrusive ads telling you to buy gold, so I am deleting the game
