The Bejeweled Blitz app is a free iTunes download to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, and it comes with 50,000 free Bejeweled Blitz Coins to get you started!  

Bejeweled Blitz for iOS puts fewer screen taps than ever between you and your next minute of gem-swapping joy!  Okay, it's really just one or two taps fewer than previous versions, but still, those are valuable seconds you can use to run your Daily Spin right there in the app!

What features are included in Bejeweled Blitz for iOS?

First of all, we've got plenty of updates already in the works, so if you don't see your favorite features listed below, don't worry.  We want to make this the ultimate Bejeweled Blitz app, so we'll keep adding and improving!  But for now, the game features include:

• Daily Spin (yes, right there in the app!)
• Sharing high scores and Rare Gems to Facebook
• Offline mode with full functionality as of version 1.2!
• Your first 50,000 Coins free!
• Coins purchasing through iTunes for fast and easy reloads
• Gorgeous graphics (even on the iPad)!!!

I can't see my Ranks, Levels, and Experience Points in the App!  

The game is connecting to Facebook, so don't worry!, your Ranks, Levels, and XP are still accumulating and being recorded.  When you next visit Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, you will see the updated Rank, Level, and XP you've earned while playing on iOS.  But rather than waste valuable screen space, we have decided to give you a full-screen game board on your device!

I can't rotate my game to landscape view!

For greater flexibility with future updates, we have at this time removed the landscape option from Bejeweled Blitz.  We may look into restoring it in the future, but there is no current plan in place to do so.

What if I already have the original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app?  

You will need to download the new app in order to play Bejeweled Blitz.  It won't replace the Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, and you can still choose to launch Bejeweled Blitz either through its own icon or through the Bejeweled 2 menu, but the new app must be installed.  It's essentially a free upgrade to the new version that's faster, prettier, and packed with great features, plus lots more to come!

When you next launch your Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, you will see that the "Play Bejeweled Blitz" icon invites you to "Get Bejeweled Blitz!"  Simply tap that icon to download the new app.  

I can't seem to launch the new app through the original app!  What's wrong?

If your original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app has not been updated in recent months to the most current version, then it will not be compatible with the new app.  Since the original app has been removed from the App Store at this time, there is no way to update it.  You will still be able to launch the original app to play Bejeweled 2!  However, the new Bejeweled Blitz standalone app must be launched separately rather than through the Bejeweled 2+Blitz menu.

Rare Gems are rare and beautiful gems which you can find and harvest by playing Bejeweled Blitz. Each Rare Gem has its own unique gameplay effect!

Moonstone:

The Moonstone splinters into three fragments and lands in your game board as a trio of Star Gems to start you off!  It's like Mystery Gem times three, without the mystery!

Cat's Eye:

After your Last Hurrah has rewarded you for any special gems you had left on the board, Snackers will appear with eyes ablaze to help you score even higher!  His multiplier is triple your final multiplier in the game, and each blast from his laser eyes is as powerful as a flame gem detonation!  Snackers will rescue a lackluster game or send a great one into the stratosphere!

Phoenix Prism:

The Phoenix Prism captures the light reflected from all the gems on the board, giving it a beautiful rainbow shine. Due to this unique interplay of light and color, the prisms are Wild Card gems, able to be swapped to any nearby pair of gems to create an intense chain reaction, each prism causing a diagonal line of gems to explode.

The Phoenix Prism comes in batches of six gems, but only one gem can shine at any given time! Once you match your first prism, you will see the next light up within moments. Match it quickly to bring out the third! If you don’t use all six within the minute available, don’t worry; you’ll see any remaining prisms working to jazz up your Last Hurrah.

Once all your prisms have burst, and your eyes have feasted on the dazzle of colors, the phoenix himself will appear! (Okay, it could be a girl phoenix; it’s impolite to ask and downright rude to check!) As he takes his final bow and is reborn, a shower of his own feathers falls around him. Whichever feather he catches in his beak will determine the coin bonus you receive on top of the coins already earned in the game.  These will automatically be added to your Coin balance.

Blazing Steed:

When you harvest a Blazing Steed Gem, you will begin your next game with Blazing Speed, which causes gems to drop more quickly and turns every match into an explosion! Blazing Speed usually lasts eight seconds, but this special opening lasts ten so you can start out with a bang, a blast, and a ba-boom!

But wait, there’s more. Even after the initial Blazing Speed burst fades, the Blazing Steed continues to make his presence felt. For the whole game, keep an eye on the Flame Gems you match—they’re bigger, better, blazing-er versions of their normal selves, taking out a larger area and earning more points.

Finally, when the clock runs out, a herd of fiery horses will stampede across your gameboard, scattering and detonating extra Flame Gems in a blaze of glory!  

Kanga Ruby (NEW to Bejeweled Blitz for iOS!):

Meet the magnificent mustachioed marsupial!  The king of kapow!  Bruce, the boxing kangaroo!  The Kanga Ruby is here to pound gems on your behalf with fists of furry fury! Whenever he appears on screen, a well-placed blow will be delivered to your board, destroying a section of gems.

The Blitzing boxer will turn up to deliver his roundhouses at least three times per game, but you can motivate him to come back even more often by destroying red gems!  A Kanga Ruby's favorite gem is red, and as you match these, you will see his meter filling at the top of the board.  The more red gems you match, the faster he will return to take another shot!  

At the end of the game you will be awarded 100 coins for each red gem you destroyed! 

Don't forget to Share your Kanga Ruby at the end of the game!  As you share this rare gem, your friends will get to play with evolved Kanga Ruby 2 & 3!  (The evolved gems are currently not available on iOS, so be sure to check them out on Facebook!)

Boosts are special power-ups that you can purchase using Coins. They each last for three games and you can use up to three Boosts at a time.

		The Mystery Gem boost places a random special gem on the board at the start of the match.  Get a headstart on your game off with a flame gem, star gem, or hypercube!
		Detonator adds a button in the lower left corner of the board that can be pressed to explode all special gems and multipliers at once!  This boost can be used once per game.  Choose wisely when to detonate!
		Scrambler places a button at the lower right corner of the board that can be used to mix up the gems when you're having trouble finding a match!  This boost can be used twice per game.
		The +5 seconds boost adds five seconds to your time.  Five seconds can feel like a long time when you are using it to make extra matches and earn more points!
		The Bonus Multiplier starts you off with a x2 multiplier gem at the opening of the game.  Match it quickly to start reaping the scoring benefits and hurrying toward your next multiplier!

How do I choose my Boosts?

At the beginning of each game, you will see the Boost Select screen. From here you can see how many Boosts you have remaining from previous purchases, add or remove new Boosts, and add Coins if you don't have enough to use your selected Boosts.

Will my Boosts automatically refill when they're empty?

If your Boosts run out during a session of Bejeweled Blitz, by default they will automatically refill as long as you have enough Coins to pay for them. When you leave and start a new session your Boost selection will not auto-refill from a previous session (same thing if you switch to a different computer, user profile, or Facebook user account).

You can select whether or not you want Boosts to auto-refill on the Options screen. Just click the box to toggle auto-renew on or off.

We've heard from a number of players that the latest update to Bejeweled Blitz for iOS is suddenly crashing on launch, and we are happy to say that there is a very easy solution!  

It seems that if your Facebook profile is missing a single piece of data, that empty variable can cause Bejeweled Blitz to crash.  It will take just a moment to update your Facebook profile to include this missing information, and you can do so either in your browser or through your Facebook app on iOS.  After this change is made, simply delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz from the App store, and you'll be back to matching gems and detonating hypercubes in no time!

To make the change in your browser:

Go to Facebook and sign in.  Click on your name in the upper right corner to view your Timeline. Then click on the About tab.

Look for the Basic Information section on your About page:

Click the Edit button to expand this section:

Yes, the missing data is gender.  The game is reaching out to Facebook expecting to find a number of basic details in every Facebook profile, and if one of those is missing, the game doesn't know what to do.  Most of the standard details were never optional in the Facebook account creation process, but gender has been in the past, and so some profiles don't have that information.  All that is necessary to fix this crashing issue is to select a gender on Facebook.  It is not necessary to check the box beside "Show my gender on my timeline."  The information can remain invisible publicly, but it simply needs to be there in the background.

Once you've updated your Facebook profile, please delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz on your iOS device.  (Click here for instructions on deleting an app.)

To make the change in your Facebook app for iOS:

Tap the icon at the upper left corner to open your navigation console.  Tap on your own name at the top of the list to access your profile.

On your profile page, tap the Info tab.  Look for Basic Information.

In this section, tap the word Gender to open the edit function.

Select Female or Male, then tap Save.  It is not necessary to check the box beside "Show my gender on my timeline."

Once you've updated your Facebook profile, please delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz on your iOS device.  (Click here for instructions on deleting an app.)

This should prevent further crashing of the Bejeweled Blitz app on your iOS device!
