HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (28 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ I'll even pay a one time fee of $5.00 because nobody likes subscription games.
★★★★★ Finally, you hard time and money turned gear got wiped out as the Dev's, without warning but the again they care not for you, the quality of the gear gets re-done and you lose your entire playing power.
★★★★★ Progress is not a bad thing, but changing the entire system, without warning, and having you lose the builds your spent a lot of time and money to achieve, just is not fair.

★★★★★ Im on an iphone 16 pro and this game runs way too hot and drains battery insanely fast.
★★★★★ This game was fun but I had to delete it because it would drain my battery on my iPhone 12 and, later, brand new iPhone 15 in the span of like two hours of play.

★★★★★ If you want the good shop items you have to pay for the VIP pass which is also a monthly fee and then pay more for in game currency to get the items.
★★★★★ There's no character customization, it varies much too wildly from the original formula, and strives with sickening desperation to sell $8 limited time item packs using gross levels of fomo, without making even the…
Worse after an update12%

★★★★★ I regret installing and playing this game for as long as I did, every week there is an update to delay your ability to grow or progress, and to make it harder to get anything even if you spend hundreds of dollars,…
★★★★★ The game now locks up on story mode. And I have to restart. The gear section is terrible and I would like an option to go back to the older style. I cannot tell what stuff is by looking at it and even when I click on…

★★★★★ Sending in support tickets just elicited a Dev's ire, and responses that are uncaring.

★★★★★ You just have the gems on the board but if you're into that it can kill some time
★★★★★ This. Game is awesome lol
★★★★★ Addictive and fun thank you.
Easy to use9%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ However, what you would expect to be such a simple game, it completely drains my battery life on my phone and makes it really warm.
★★★★★ My only problem with the game is that it makes my iPhone 14 overheat after about 10 minutes of playtime. But those 10 minutes are a lot of fun!
★★★★★ Seems easy at first but this game will punish you if you hesitate.
Worth the money9%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've been playing for free for about a week now and I have no intention of stopping.
★★★★★ I have made steady progress as a free to play player and while I would love to progress faster, the system feels fair to me.
★★★★★ The game is always challenging but playable, even for free-to-play players.

Makes phone hot

A fun enough entry in the puzzle quest series, but holy heck, as lot of other people have been noting for a while now in other reviews and online elsewhere, this game chews your battery and makes your phone run uncontrollably hot. Turning down all display settings to lowest quality, 30fps, variable frame rates, and 0.3x resolution scaling helps a tiny bit, but given the fairly basic graphics in this game, an any iPhone made in the last several years should be able to play it at full display settings without breaking a sweat. Defiantly shouldn’t be making my iPhone 17 pro turn into a heating iron in my hands. I’ll be limiting my playtime on this one to small sessions when I know I’ll be near a power source.

★★★★★Jul 24, 2026

Bring back Puzzle Quest!!

For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE bring back the original Puzzle Quest to the App Store. I’ll even pay a one time fee of $5.00 because nobody likes subscription games. PQ2 was not fun because it overcomplicated the game. PQ3 continues in PQ2’s footsteps. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Go back to your roots. 🙏🏻

★★★★★Nov 17, 2025
Puzzle quest 2

I like puzzle quest 3, it’s a good game. However, puzzle quest 2 will always be the best!! Please bring 2 back!!!!
