1. ★☆☆☆☆ A PERFECT Game Ruined LoveFaithBlossom · 3 Apr 2025
   This game used to be absolute perfection! It was all about skill and don’t believe the claims you have to pay to play. I’ve broken several of the levels people said were “impossible” with pure skill and a ton of patience with trial and error lol. I even played without using boosters which is much more difficult but I loved the challenge. I also loved that it was simple without all the side hype of other games. Well, here comes the 2025 updates to ruin a perfectly perfect game. It is now super busy with a bunch of side game distractions. That I could overlook but now they suddenly have a super

   invasive “privacy” policy which pretty much sells a ridiculous amount of your very personal info to the highest bidder. This was my FAVORITE game and very helpful for my anxiety but I knew it was just too good to last. I am so brokenhearted and went from playing all throughout the day to only a few times a week and now having to delete completely. So sad to let this one go.
2. ★★☆☆☆ You WILL Hit a Paywall Point (EDITED) whisperingloon · 13 Sep 2024
   As much as the developers say every level can be solved without boosts or whatever, there are some levels labeled Hard or Super Hard that cannot be passed without boosters. And if you’ve used your coins there is no way forward. I’ve given up on the game. It WAS fun. But. I hit a level with no coins, no boosters, and without a perfect play I lose every single time. So I’m done. EDIT: The game is fun, so I did open it today and try again as the developers suggested. Failed again. I came close to solving!!! But. My fat thumb accidentally tapped the wrong color. Which on some levels means you’d l

   ose. This time, it meant I triggered a bomb. I tapped the bomb person five times as the countdown happened and he didn’t move. So. I lost. Again. The next time I tried, I did something wrong early on. Lost super early. I gave it another chance. Just more frustration. The game WAS fun but with no chance to pass this level unless I drop $10 or whatever it is, it’s no longer worth my time.

   Hey there! Thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced with the difficulty of some of the Hard and Super Hard levels. While it's true that all levels are designed to be solvable without boosts, we understand that certain stages can feel particularly challenging without them, especially when you're low on coins or boosters. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we'll be sure to share it with our team so we can look into balancing improvements for those tougher levels. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue playing, as sometimes revisiting a level after a break can offer a fresh perspective. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share them. We're here to help in any way we can. Sincerely, Rollic
3. ★★★☆☆ Fun but issues WallsofTruth · 1 Sep 2024
   The game is fun to play overall! Some of this issues I have with the game involve the reward system and costs for extras. Getting 10 coins for winning a “regular” level is super low compared to the amount it cost to purchase extra tiles, lives and color pickers. I also do not like that they don’t have consistent challenges to win perks-if you advance to the max amount of streaks and win the top prize, then it may be a week or so before they roll out a new streak contest and that is crazy. Also, I don’t think they have a good grip on the level difficulty. Some of the levels that they mark as ha

   rd or extremely hard are easier to beat than the regular levels that give 10 coins. It seems like they just randomly picked levels and called them difficult. They really need to rethink the reward system and the amount you win vs the amount it cost to use coins to purchase perks. Many times, I just close the app out of annoyance. Also, I don’t like that the extra tiles you buy break and disappear after a figure stands on it and gets on the bus! If I purchased the extra tiles, then let the tiles stay put! Some of the levels are intentionally made so that you have to use coins to buy a perk and that’s unfortunate. The developers appear to be moving towards a money grab vs fun game play. I also wish there weren’t ads after each level. The ad option should be to watch one to get double rewards, but instead, if you choose to get the standard reward and opt out of an ad for double, you still have to watch ads. Also, the ads are annoying-you click off of them and you end up having to click several times which extend the ad period and that’s another reason Intend to close the app bc I get annoyed. Rethink the point system and difficulty meter and the game could easily be 5 stars.

4. ★☆☆☆☆ Problems with in App purchases. Cardtapper · 22 Jul 2024
   Today for the 3rd time, I have made a purchase and have not received the items I paid for. For instance, one purchase was supposed to give me 3 jump-a-man to the bus features. They showed up on the board, but when I tapped to activate a “jump”, no jump happened. I tried again. My available count was reduced by two, but zero jumps happened. Same thing happened when I used the feature that adds three spaces to the bus queue. Chat cannot help. I must follow a list of steps to request a refund. The instructions include a link, but NOT the link that is required to deal with the problem. The link

   I need is NOT tap-able, so I have to leave the app and type it in, & return to the app for the next instruction. I never successfully made it to the final step that allows me to request a refund. Sorry, but that’s it for me. LOVE THE GAME, but I’ve lost $40 now, so I’m done!

5. ★★★★☆ Loving this Game!!! 👌🏾👍🏾 LeiadaBoss · 28 Apr 2024
   I saw this game via an ad on another game I was playing and had to download it! I’ve been playing non-stop and really enjoy it! BUT——it seems I have come to a standstill @ level 199 🥺It will not allow me to finish this level because it’s short 1 red person. I literally cannot complete it because I get down to the end of the level where there’s only 2 red people left instead of 3 😲 I have invested too much money in this game to give up but if I can’t play beyond this level, I may have to quit 🤷🏾‍♀️ Is there a way the developer can assist me with this issue? I really do want to keep playing…

   … As an update to my earlier post, the developer has fixed the issue and I am able to go past Level 199. I say THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏🏾 ☺️ Keep up the good work! 👍🏾🙌🏾
6. ★★☆☆☆ Pay to play, very disappointing Tracyhrgoddess · 13 Apr 2024
   Graphics are great, I like the challenging levels, but some levels you can’t get through without purchasing the boosters. The pkgs of coins/boosters offered are expensive. And if you buy the coins you can use to buy the boosters, but you only get 3 of the boosters; example: cost is $9.99 for about 1600 coins, to purchase some boosters you need 2100 coins…it’s just too expensive for what you get it’s too bad, I was enjoying the game, paid to remove ads, I think I even purchased one of the booster/coins pkg, but those go fast when you are trying to get through a really hard level. I’m on level 3

   92 now, and have been trying to get thru it for 2 days now, there’s no way that I can see to get through it without extra tiles. I am going to delete this game.
7. ★★★★☆ Fun Game But Hits a Paywall at Level 397 taltal g · 9 Feb 2024
   I've genuinely enjoyed playing Bus Jam for its challenging puzzles. It's a game that combines fun gameplay mechanics with increasingly difficult levels, making it a great pastime. The graphics are simple and decent, offering a smooth gaming experience on iOS devices. However, my enthusiasm took a hit as I reached level 397. At this point, the game introduces challenge that can only be released by purchasing additional tiles. This sudden shift towards a pay-to-win model was disappointing, especially after investing so much time without needing to spend money (except for ads removal, which I did

   more

   ). Like another reviewer mentioned, it seems you're forced to make in-app purchases to progress further. This aspect detracts from the game's initial appeal, where skill and strategy were the only prerequisites for advancement. While I understand the developers' need for monetization, a more balanced approach, offering alternate ways to earn or unlock essential items, would have been preferable. It's a shame because Bus Jam is really fun and engaging up to this point. I'd still recommend it for those who enjoy puzzle games, but with the caveat of the potential need to spend money to fully experience all its levels.
8. ★★★★★ Don’t do the upgrade Terridelo · 8 Feb 2024
   UPDATE: I am updating to a five star review because they fixed the problem and restored our coins. Thank you for correcting in a timely manner. **** I lost all the coins I had earned (and paid for) when I upgraded and no one has responded to my complaints. The restore purchases button doesn’t work. **** I loved the game, played it every day, watched the ads I chose to in order to earn more coins and to get more lives and if this doesn’t get resolved, you’re going to lose all my ad income. I will remove the app tomorrow if this isn’t resolved.
9. ★★★☆☆ Have to pay to win? TMCBO7123 · 29 Jan 2024
   Update: I have been on level 364 for a couple of days…it seems like the only way to get past that level is to pay for extra spots to put the people waiting for the bus. I can’t figure out any other way. So if I don’t get past it soon, I will definitely quit playing. Super frustrating that it seems rigged to make you spend money. Super fun game until now! Someone commented that they don’t appreciate that it is based on skin color to the color of the bus. Why does it have to be skin color? Maybe the people are color coded by route or destination. People taking offense to everything needs to stop

   . Enjoy the game for what it is, entertainment .
10. ★★★★☆ Glitch with one color 25Vader25 · 16 Sep 2023
    UPDATE: what’s going on with ALL the colors?? I’m in the 500s levels and nothing will make them get on the buses no matter how many are in the grid spots. I keep using up my money to add spots and they won’t go onto the bus. Do ALL colors need to be 5 people now? I’ll have to stop playing because that would start using up all my points. Please advise! Thank you. I love this game. It fun and not too complicated. I’m in the 300s levels and have recently noticed what seems like a bug or glitch. The neon green color has to have 5 people before it can get on the bus. Now that I’ve noticed it, I u

    sually have to add a row before I run out of space and then have to watch an ad to continue. Is this intentional or a problem that needs to be fixed?
