@QueenB I have noted that there are a lot of complaints about the distracting and annoying flashing of the new hints feature since the latest update. I don't see it in my own game so I assume it's a test group only. However as any player in that test group will switch hints off in response and that is something King won't know I would like to ask you to report this directly to the team. Here is a collection of the complaints I have read:

    please change this new update back to what it was with the suggested moves on levels. It’s so off putting!!!

    Hi nannyjan6 and welcome to the Community 😃

    Thanks for your feedback and we’re really sorry to hear that the latest update has been frustrating for you. We always want the game to feel enjoyable and smooth for everyone, so your input helps a lot!

    Could you share a bit more about what changed for you?
    Are the suggested moves missing, or have they changed in some way?
    Was there something specific in the new update that felt off or distracting?

    We’d love to pass this along to the game team, so the more detail you can share, the better we can help.

    Thanks again for being here, and we’re looking forward to hearing more from you ☺️

    Today when I woke up to collect my daily rewards my all stars link was gone. Even though I passed and made it through to the final round. I played a few levels to see if it would reappear with no luck. Can I please get your assistance with this.

    Am I the only one who thinks the new hint format is a distraction ? Maybe there’s an improvement here that I’m missing.

    Appreciate I can turn these off but in their previous guise, they were helpful but not intrusive.

    The new hint format is very distracting. They need to put it back the way it was.

    Thank you for the warning @Charleyfarley ! As I always play with hints turned on I really don't want to have to change that habit just now for the last round of All Stars. Nor do I want any unpleasant new distractions! I can't see any change to hints in my game yet, so I'm hoping it's related to the latest update and if I don't update the app I might be spared until after All Stars. It's terrible timing for King to bring in such a major change. I can play without hints of course but I'm pretty sure it would affect my speed, since I'm so used to having them on.

    I believe what @nannyjan6 was referring to is the latest (for me 23/24 April, 2025) which has the Suggested Move jumping around, rather than having it glow slightly - as it was previously. It is very off-putting. Especially on a small screen, like an iPhone8.

    Peace

    I can’t comprehend why this change was implemented.

    Does a paperclip tap the screen with every hint?

    Seriously though, have a SS be interesting to see what has changed.

    It looks like you'll get your wish @Pyrospring : If they keep this new flashing nonsense then like yourself, I will be playing with the hints turned off in future!

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
