I still can't always get the gems to slide - I have to try multiple times. Using a stylus was recommended a few days ago but I don't have one at this time. Hi Lidewey,

I'm sure you won't be tackling Gem Match again for quite some time, but have you tried shutting down your device and then restarting the game before playing it? I used to have to do this on my iPad when I first started playing the game approximately 18 months ago. If I didn't, Gem Match would run extremely slowly. (I was also new to tablets then, and at first put it down to my not knowing how to swipe properly!) Things have improved on the iPad and I no longer have to do this, but it might possibly speed things up for you. ZephyrG,

Hadn't thought of rebooting. It's not that they move slowly, it's more [! think] that my finger isn't connecting through the protective glass on my phone to get them to move. However, for the next GM challenge - should I be so foolish to do so - I will remember to try this. It is certainly worth the try.
