I’ve been playing this game since it came into existence under Disney. It was a lot of fun, more people had the opportunity to play events, and my only complaint then was it was difficult to earn gems. Then Jam City took over. At that point, the tide turned and the app became much more of a money grab. If I’m going to spend money on a game, it has to be really worth it. In this case, that generally means being able to get an emoji I don’t already have. Since Jam City took over, more often than not, you won’t get a new emoji unless you spend a lot of money and buy several boxes. I can’t justify that. The special events under Disney were fun to play, and you had a much greater chance of getting to the end of that event and winning a diamond box. Now, under Jam City, you have to have certain harder-to-get emojis in order to even play past the second level of the special event challenge. If you don’t have them, you can’t even play the events. The only way to get them is to take a chance on buying emoji boxes. It usually doesn’t work out well. Sure — you don’t HAVE to play the special events — but you’ll probably want to play them. But now, unless you’re able to spend a chunk of money, you don’t even get the chance. So, under Disney, I would have rated it 4-1/2 stars. But under Jam City, I rate it 2-1/2 stars because I know how it used to be. It’s still fun…just not as fun as it was in the past.
I have been playing Emoji Blitz for several years now. I’m a big fan of the game. It’s interesting, exciting at times, and is always very engaging. The diverse characters are great at changing up your game play for various events. This is my go-to game that I play daily. New elements — whether characters, skill sets certain character types bring to the table, or new types of events — keep game playing interesting. For all those pluses, there are some areas where the game can be a bit frustrating. And that area is the one-minute long ads you have to watch in order to receive free power boosts or extra lives or gems. Currently, there are ten ads per life refill. A life set consists of five lives. By doing the ten free spins every couple of hours, you can gain extra lives, gems, coins, power boosts, etc. (For example, if you receive a 15-minute power boost on your first spin, then you’ll only have about five actual minutes of playing time once all your free spins are done.). This can wear down one’s patience. But despite this drawback, I still believe this game is better than almost any other blitz or blast type game. I enjoy collecting the characters and finding how to best use them in gameplay. I have recommended this game to several friends and family members. I would say that nine out of ten enjoyed the game and still play. Overall, I rate this at five stars based on how much I truly enjoy playing the game (since 2017).

I have only had this app for a couple of days and I’m already addicted to it! It’s so cool the emojis I earn are sent to my keyboard for me to use! I have no complaints for this game, it’s surprising how well this app is structured. I was shocked that I have not experienced any ads. I love that and am so glad that I don’t have to watch any annoying ads before I can continue my game. The only issue I have is that when I don’t have internet, the game will load, then tell me to restart the game to play it. I understand that this needs internet to function, but I like to play with and without, so that frustrates me a bit. Amazing game overall, and keep up the good work! Update: It’s been two months (going on 3) since I got this game and I’m still amazed at how well structured it is. Yes I admit the spin is a bit rigged, but even on that count less so than other games. It’s still possible to get GOOD prizes. Also, when you have items left on the board and a power-up could make it fall so you can collect it, half of the time it doesn’t do that for you, but I understand that might be a bit unfair to get it every time. Finally, a nod to the creators as this is the first game I have EVER written a review for, so for me to actually sit down and write a review, TWO DAYS after getting it as well, that shows that this game is truly wonderful. 😍 I love this game so much and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Have a blessed day to all who read this.
I have played this game before but I deleted it because of some problems that are listed here. I got the game again because it was addicting and I was bored. This game is incredibly fun with weekly match challenges and season passes and the whole game is amazing! But my few concerns are: 1. Storage Space. If there is a way it can take up less, it would be so helpful! I hate overflowing my device with apps and this is one app, and takes up the storage size for multiple apps. My other concern in the”Storage Space” category was constant updates. Disney Emoji Blitz always makes me wait to add more emojis and take more space. Please stop taking so much space! 2. Money. This game definitely is a “pay to be good” game. The only way to do some things is with gems. This is not my biggest concern but it should be ads to get 3 gems. And maybe the ad limit is 5 a day. Also, I’d have to stop playing the game because I didn’t have enough hearts. Can there be a notification system when my hearts are replenished? I’d love that. So this isn’t a huge deal, but I’d love to see improvement. If you fix these problems, I will recommend this app to people. But otherwise, it’s might come up in a conversation but I doubt it. So fixing these problems would get more player’s I think. Those are the biggest issues with this game I feel. It never is glitching, the keyboard emojis are adorable, you get login prizes, you can play without ads, so overall, you deserve five stars! Just critique a few things. Thanks!
I have been playing this game for a while and I just got to do a “good fight challenge”... so I’m not sure if what I’m thinking, is actually what is going on... so I know my name and Facebook photo pop up for other players to see because I can see other players as well... but when a player pops as emoji with four numbers after... is that someone who didn’t connect their Facebook? Or is that a computer that I have been playing? Because I have noticed multiple times now that when it’s a player that says “emoji with four numbers” my time will go out and the other players time will not and I’ll get an image of the emoji they are using with the words “waiting for player” and then all of a sudden they have three or more points more than me when I was points ahead of them so I lost the round... I haven’t witnessed this with other players that have their name and Facebook photo which is why it makes me think I’m playing a computer... Also! I have convinced multiple family members to play this game and taught them how to connect to Facebook and use the keyboard and turn that on in their setting... but none of them seem to show up on my score board or show that they are even playing even though they are and it’s connected to their Facebook. So I should have sixteen Facebook friends playing now and my app is only showing seven. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad or anything but these are some issues that I feel like could be solved fairly easily so.
