PLEASE TURN OFF HINTS

I used to adore this game and now I can’t even play it without having the screen flashing at me every two seconds. I don’t even have time to think and it’s SO irritating and not even worth playing like this. I would love an option to turn off the hints.

Gary, unfortunately this is a feature of the game and can not be removed or turned off. Good luck in crushing those candies and have a good day.

I would just like to add that in the first five minutes of playing the game I noticed that the hints are always flashing and I came here to find out how it can be turned off. The hint is very annoying because it throws me off when seeking my next move. My eye is constantly attracted to the flashing and I am psyched out of making the right next move because the hint doesn't comprehend when i may need help. Instead I'm consistently being "told" what to do which is not very fun and I can see this becoming very frustrating in later levels when looking for combos and playing with a limited number of moves. I used to play this game years ago all of the time. Now I am back and having this problem with my favorite game. I wanted to include feedback because I noticed many others experiencing the same problem.

I used to play this game A LOT, even spending real money sometimes. Months ago I quitted because off the anointing STUPID FLASHING HINTS. Downloaded it again recently to see if you implemented a way to turn it off but to my surprise not only you didn't but you made IT APPEAR FASTER NOW. As I see, A LOT of people are complaining about this. It's incredibly annoying not to mention opposed to the hole point of the game. Leave it for those who like it but give the rest of us a option to disable it.

The auto suggestions are the reason I quit the game. Downloaded recently to see if I can stop in on configuration only to find out that not only you still can't disable auto suggestions but now the time before they appear is even shorter. Gave up again. It's impossible to play.

The hints just completely ruin the game. How would you like it if someone was telling you what to do no matter what stage you're on in a game like thats just so ridiculous to me. I don't understand why you can't turn them off because "ThAt WiLl TaKe ToO lOnG" then just do it, and so many people are asking about this to happen and to be implemented. It ruins the whole game for me, like this is the only game with this type of format that it happens on and being one of the best games on mobile today, I don't understand why you don't want to listen to your fans. This should be your first priority as it involves your best game that you've developed and knowing that you're trying to get more people to play it this will attract more by fixing this major problem in the game. I just don't understand why you're being so selfish and making everyone wait, and it probably doesn't take that long to fix this. I'm not going to keep playing until this is fixed and dealt with.

I, too, have joined only to ask for the annoying, instant flashing hints to be turned off!! Why is the game playing for you?? Why would you even think this was a good idea?? And they’re usually wrong. I do plan on deleting the game now that I see I wasn’t missing some way to turn them off.

I’ve only joined this to ask if the distracting, fast hints can be turned off. I am finding that it hurts my eyes, I get migraines and can see that this feature is something that could become a reason why I stop playing the game unless it’s changed.

Hello @princesstarynn, and welcome to the sweetest community online! This has been a common complaint among many players, but unfortunately, this feature has not been implemented....for now! King is constantly working on making their games bigger and better. However, it is important to remember that such changes to the game cannot be implemented overnight. They require rigorous testing to make sure they work out as many bugs as possible. Perhaps this is something that the studio will implement soon, but for now, we just have to be patient to see what sweet surprises await! I hope this helps you, and have a great evening!

mehay29

is there a way to get the game to stop showing possible moves? It’s frustrating!

vikinggirl701

Please turn off the hints or at least slow them down like they used to be! You are going to lose a lot of players if you keep them like they are!

Addictedtogames

Will the developers give an option to turn off hints soon? I don't like to create accounts, but I'm so close to uninstalling the game even though I've loved it, but I can't stand the flashing hints. Please at least slow the flashing down & delay the amount of time until it syarts flashing. I play this game to relax, but the flashing increases anxiety.
Thank you
