Great app
Great app. Have always enjoyed playing Dingbats (even had it as a board game many years ago. Having it as an app is super.
Having a problem with the Dangbits part of the app. I watch a video to get some hints - but no hints appear. This works fine on the Dingbats puzzles just not Dangbits - no matter how many videos I watch. Would be great if this could be fixedShow lessAdtubpjb
Rare phrases, expensive hints
My biggest complaint is you can’t solve part of the puzzle. You can know what some of the words are, but even if they’re in the right place, it’s not counted when you ask for a hint. So you can ask for either one or four random letters, only to have it reveal letters you already had in the right place. There is “reveal a specific letter”, but it’s double asking for one random, and half of getting 4, so…
I don’t know if the app was just developed in a different country, but — even as an educated person — I’ve never heard of half of the sayings/phrases. Like “All cats are gray at night” or “Too clever by half”. Some are common adages, just using different words (eg “One brick short of a full load”), but there are too many different possibilities. Some, after I solve it, I can see what they were going for, but when it’s a completely foreign expression, the depiction has to be spot on to have a chance. I often end of solving it and still thinking, “What?? Did they make that up?”
The basic game is fun, but it needs some fine tuningShow lessChiguynextdoor
Dingbat
Keeps your interest going and it’s available on or off line. Even works on your iPhone 5s!
Thanks btwAutoland III
Not bad, but 1 huge issue
Once you’ve solved a puzzle, you can swipe left to the next one, but you can also swipe if you haven’t solved it. It’s very easy to accidentally swipe while you’re typing in the answer. On a puzzle with a long answer to type, you’re pretty much guaranteed to accidentally swipe. And when you come back to the puzzle you were in the middle of solving, everything you already typed is gone.
I’ve only done maybe 12 puzzles, and swiped left accidentally so many times, it got frustrating very quickly.Show lessMisspeller70

Hello. Thanks for your feedback. I updated the app so now you cannot swipe from the letter input area.1st hame
Can’t get answers if you can’t solveI want my sound please
Good Game
Like this game, but since the new update with dangbits it has errors. 1) Took them 3 attempts to stop the crashes when opening. 2)Now you try to run the video to get hints, on picture puzzles but after video you get no hints. I have not tried paying, maybe good job as they likely would take my money for nothing. I think developers should fully test before releasing updates. So very frustrating. Poor.Show lessMar050703

Hello. Can you tell me the screen on which the game crashes please ?I can’t use the hints
I really need to use hints in this game but it only shows how many I have and I can’t use them. It’s a good game though.Peep 99
Brilliant
I have always been a massive fan of Dingbats and Anagrams this is perfect. Lots of puzzles just how I like it. Keep those puzzles coming.Andy Petrol Head
Too hard
Some of the puzzles are challenging, but fun. Others are way too hard. Also, I would like to be able to buy hints, but I don’t know how much I have to spend.LDC1956
A Perfect Way To Keep Your Brain Active!
I love dingbats. Some are quite easy to work out but then the next slips you a curve ball and you’re left scratching your head for ages without success.
You then return several days later and you sense some idea of what it is, sometimes you’re right and sometimes you’re wrong but persevere and eventually you will work it out.
I have played this app for several months and am still a long way from finishing all the dingbats.
Remember folks, it’s not a race, it’s a way of keeping your brain active.
I hope that the developer(s) can keep coming up with further dingbats as it has to be one of the best apps I have ever downloaded.Show lessVictoriaParker
