The game also has lives like all other match-3 games. When you lose a level, you will lost one of it and if you lost all the lives, you must buy them by coins to continue playing. The game will features the six characters that appears in Angry Birds Stella and each character will have a special power that can be use when the Pop Meter is full to unlock powerful boosts from their powers like Stella's Power Pop, Poppy's Line Pop and many more.

 * This is the fifth Angry Birds Game/Spinoff without regular gameplay.
 * This is the 1st time Red does appear in an Angry Birds Game/Spinoff (See Teaser)
 * Angry Birds Seasons, the second Angry Birds game, came 2 years after the first Angry Birds game. However, Angry Birds Stella Pop was anounced 2 months after Angry Birds Stella was released.
 * This is the first Angry Birds Game where the player will not hold the device horizontally to play

 * In the 1.4.30 update, the player can choose between the bird required for the main level or Red when he was avaliable for a limited time(from March 21st to June 3rd).
 * Red is also the first playable male from this game.
 * Also, when playing with Red, you see a feather along with the stars. In order to get the feather, the player must complete the level with Red. The game actually says that "the feathers might be valuable"
 * Red has been removed as of June 4th 2015, but the collected feathers still stay in the game.
 * Even if removed, he still appears in the map while playing a guitar.
 * It's unknown why Gale would appear in this game if she was already killed off at the end of the episode "To the Bitter End."
 * However, the Canada soft release date as seen above shows the date before that episode was released.
 * This is the first Angry Birds video game that does not have its own Toons.TV video app, followed by Angry Birds 2, as pressing the Toons.TV button redirects you to a browser version.
 * The Blues appeared in the 1.7.2 as playable birds in the same manner as Red(avaliable from July 6th to July 20th). However, they require blue feathers.
 * Blue feathers are earned in the same way as Red: by beating a certain score and completing the level.
 * Just like Red, The Blues stay for 2 weeks straight, and after they're not going to be playable after the timer is out.
 * Chuck also appears in the game.
 * Red is the first bird to appear as a guest star twice.
 * Since v1.8.0 update, the Stella name was removed from the app store's title and the new name is Angry Birds POP!. It's probably due the Stella game was discontinued.
 * Even as v2.3.0 update, Red and Chuck are now permanent playable birds. And Dahlia is limited time bird on that time.


 * This game is now one of the few Angry Birds games that is also available in Facebook. The other is Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds Star Wars, which was discontinued and removed.
 * Before the v2.3.0 update, the limited time birds have their respective feathers. As of the said update, all of their feathers are now as of one- golden feathers.
 * It is possible to get zero stars on levels, which means you fail the level. This makes the first Angry Birds game to do this. (Angry Birds Epic does not count because the game only gets zero stars on equipments.)
 * Dahlia, The Blues and Bomb appear on the map (levels 426 to 445 area) even though they were removed.
