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.
