Match, crush, cascade. A sweet match-3 puzzle with hundreds of hand-crafted levels, chain-reaction cascades and special candies. No forced ads, no account — just the candy.
Free · In-app purchases · iPhone · iOS 16+
Match three to play.
Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Swap a candy, line up three, and let the board do the rest.
1 · Match three
Swap two candies to line up three or more of the same colour.
2 · Chain cascades
Cleared candies fall and refill — set off chain reactions for big combos.
3 · Beat the level
Hit the target before you run out of moves, and earn up to three stars.
Sweet, not sticky.
All the fun of a match-3, without the forced ads or the timers that nag.
Hundreds of levels
Hand-crafted puzzles that build from breezy to brain-bending, with more added over time.
Special candies & boosters
Striped and wrapped candies, colour bombs and boosters that clear the board in style.
Lives, done fairly
Lives refill over time — and an optional local reminder tells you when they're back.
Game Center
Optional leaderboards and achievements. Fully playable without signing in.
No forced ads
Ads are opt-in only — tap to watch for a reward, or never watch one. They never interrupt a level, and nothing is locked behind them.
Plays offline
The game needs no connection, and your progress lives on your device. Only the optional rewarded videos go online.
Your progress stays on your device.
Short version: Candy Cracker has no accounts and no server of ours — your progress never leaves your device. The one exception is the optional rewarded video ads: if you choose to watch one, Google collects advertising data to serve it. You can play the entire game without ever watching one.
Advertising
Candy Cracker shows optional rewarded video ads, provided by Google AdMob. You are never required to watch one. There are no interstitials, no banners, and nothing plays during a level — an ad only ever appears after you tap a button that says what you get for it. Every reward available from an ad can also be earned by playing or bought with coins, and no part of the game is locked behind one.
To select and measure ads, Google may collect a device advertising identifier, an approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address, and basic app-usage and diagnostic signals. On iOS you are asked first: if you decline tracking, ads still work and simply become non-personalised — the rewards are identical either way. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's advertising privacy policy. We receive only aggregate earnings reports, never anything that identifies you.
Data we collect ourselves
None. Candy Cracker has no accounts and no server of ours, and the game makes no network requests of its own. Apart from the advertising described above, nothing about you is collected, stored or transmitted.
Data stored on your device
Your game progress — levels, stars, best scores, coins, settings and achievements — is saved only in the app's local storage on your device. It is deleted when you delete the app, and you can erase it any time via Settings → Reset Progress inside the game.
In-app purchases
Optional coin packs and the Sweet Pass subscription are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment information; purchase management, subscription cancellation and refunds are handled by Apple under their terms.
Game Center (optional)
If you choose to sign in to Apple's Game Center, your scores and achievements are submitted to Apple's Game Center service under Apple's privacy policy. The game is fully playable without Game Center.
Notifications (optional)
If you opt in, the app schedules local reminders (for example, when your lives have refilled). These are generated on your device — no notification data leaves it — and you can disable them any time in the game's settings or in iOS Settings.
Children
The app is rated 4+ and is not directed to children. It is not part of the App Store Kids Category. Because the game shows third-party advertising, we do not knowingly collect data from children under the age at which consent is required in their country.
Your choices
You can turn off personalised advertising at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or reset your advertising identifier there. Doing so does not limit the game in any way — ads simply become non-personalised, and every reward stays exactly the same.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address before the change takes effect. Anything privacy-related? Reach us through the support form below — your email and message are used only to reply to you.
