About this app
Few mobile games are as widely installed as Candy Crush Saga, King's match-three puzzler that has now passed 1,000,000,000+ installs. The premise has not changed: swap neighbouring candies to line up three or more, clear them, and meet each level's goal within the moves allowed.
Levels escalate by adding obstacles. Jelly has to be cleared from under candies, chocolate spreads if left alone, and other blockers get in the way, while level types such as Clear the Jelly and Rainbow Rapids shift the objective. Matching four or five candies creates special pieces that trigger combos, and boosters like the Color Bomb, Lollipop Hammer and Jelly Fish help with stubborn boards. The description counts thousands of levels, and the game suits both brief breaks and longer sessions.
Its 4.6 average comes from nearly 39 million ratings, with 78% five stars and only 3% one star. It is free, ad-supported, and sells items from $0.99 to $149.99 each. The latest update was on 2026-09-17. It needs Android 6.0 or newer, so it runs on older phones, and is rated Everyone. We list 5 versions, the newest at 138.7 MB.
For anyone who likes simple puzzles with a steady sense of progress, it remains a safe bet in terms of familiarity. Players who have already burned out on match-three, or who resent paid boosters on hard levels, will find nothing new to change their minds. The low Android requirement is also handy for older devices.

04 Is the download safe?
