Fun challenging game – Fruit Link 3 Review

Hard, but not too hard. And it's free, can't beat that!!! Ads don't get in the way, always an important thing with a free game. Update: warning - the game doesn't take advantage of the bigger iPhone screen by making the squares bigger, it just adds more squares that need to be cleared off!! I don't know if it gives you more time to solve it but I suspect not. Just makes it more of a challenge, which shouldn't scare you off if you like the game. Update #2: updated to latest version, still has lots more squares on iPhone 5 than iPhone 4. But I timed the levels, you do get a little more time to play a level on the iPhone 5. So that does help. Update #3: it occurred to me that I should have updated to the latest version before doing another review so I did. That was a mistake, it crashes frequently after ending a game. Fortunately, it does remember when you win a game before crashing, so it's just irritating, not unusable. But I couldn't find a way to contact the developer so I have to mention it here and hope he sees this. Update #4: latest update fixed crashing problem. Still a little annoyed that game has those extra rows. I'm up to iPhone 6 (love it, much better than the iPhone 5, get it if you can) and the squares are bigger but there still two extra rows which makes the game harder. But I'm still playing a lot so I guess it's not annoying enough to make me stop playing. I just checked, you do get bigger scores with the extra rows. So I'm going back and playing the older boards and moving up the Game Center charts! In the top 200,000 now and moving up!!! ? 2014-11-20: app just asked me to give a review, which I've already done several times. Will keep track of every time to see how often it keeps asking me. Annoying. Ads are more frequent and intrusive than they used to be. But still playing all the time. 2016-02-15: have only managed to advance 2 levels in the past year despite playing semi-regularly. Very difficult once you get to the point where you only get one "shuffle" and one bomb for all 4 stages. But I'm still playing, go figure. Still very annoying that it keeps asking me to make a review. Maybe it asks after every update? That and the ads keep it from 5 stars. 2016-10-05: dropping rating another star. After upgrading my phone, I had to start from the beginning level again. Game Center remembers my status, why can't the game? Also, it's making me do another review. Still playing regularly despite annoyances. ?
