Just too many ads. *2025-10-07* This is a great game. The only flaw is the ads. But overall, get this game. ### 2/5 — Too much ads *2024-12-01* The game is good but after each time you complete a puzzle there’s a 15-30 second add. It’s a good game but just put less ads ### 2/5 — Ads ads ads ads *2024-07-21, version 3.0.7* You can find the same with no ads ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad *2024-03-28* This app still does not load the game screen on iPad, and you still cannot challenge friends, even though there is a badge for it. Poorly designed. ### 4/5 — Smooth moves. Eye-pleasing tiles *2023-05-31, version 3.0.5* I like the feel of the game. Tiles move with easy touch. ### 2/5 — More of an Ad than a Game *2023-02-25* For such a simple puzzle game you wouldn’t think you’d need to be drowning in ads. Deleted after one round. ### 3/5 — New Game modes *2020-03-22, version 3.0.2* The next update should include new completion patterns in addition to the classic arrangement, such as spirals or descending. ### 5/5 — Супер то что надо отличная игра *2019-04-15* Можно было усложнить ### 5/5 — Time eater *2018-10-04* I use this app to exhaust energy. It is very helpful when I’m trying to concentrate on homework but I feel like I have to do something with my energy. My fastest time is 19.7 sec but I don’t know how people get like 2 secs. Definitely some cheats. ### 2/5 — Ads? *2018-07-17* To include ads into or even demand a payment for such a simple is pretentious! This is the type of game I’d expect someone to do as a side hobby. ### 2/5 — Laggy *2018-07-15, version 3.0* Old version was better - this version isn’t as smooth and seems like the animations are discontinuous ### 5/5 — 15-puzzle review *2018-07-07* You have RUINED this game! It is no longer enjoyable to play. I cannot even effectively slide the tiles the way I have for the past 60 years (Yes, I started playing it way before the electronic version.) The only question I have is, “WHY have you chosen to ruin a previously-enjoyable game? Please, please, answer my question. PS The only reason that I rated your new version 1-star out of 5 is because I didn’t know how to rate it zero-stars! In other words, I think the new version is worth zero-stars; while the old version— the version you presumably willfully ruined — was worth 5-stars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good Puzzle Game *2025-12-10, version 3.0.7* I opted to purchase the AD REMOVAL and now I am unable to access the game. It’s just a screen with a green figured background. I have written to app support . I have not received any feedback on this issue. ### 1/5 — Ad length ruined the app *2025-10-23* Now get ads after every completion, it takes me 30 seconds to solve and 2 minutes to play again. I’ve been using this app for very many years and will have to find a new one due to the obscene amount of time spent watching ads instead of playing the game. ### 1/5 — Annoying sound so you mute it. Finish the puzzle… *2021-03-07, version 3.0.2* …and your free to play reward is a very loud ad for another game. ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-03-07* Good game so I paid the in-app purchase for no ads. I still have ads at the top - it says more games. An ad for the developers games is still ads!!!! Don’t say pay me money and there won’t be any ads and the have ads!!!! ### 1/5 — PleaseChane It Back!!!!! *2018-07-09, version 3.0* New version is terrible old version was absolutely great! Easy solution is to change it back. ### 1/5 — Also erased my old score *2018-07-09, version 3.0* I like the UI before and now it annoying as hell. It also reset my fastest time and I was below 7 seconds! ### 1/5 — Why fix it.... *2018-07-03, version 3.0* ...if it ain’t broken! I love the old version. 5 stars. The tiles no longer slide. Unplayable now. 0 stars. What a disappointment. Why change it? ### 1/5 — Update *2018-06-28* Stupid new update ruins game. Very slow, buttons don’t work, ads everywhere, and it deleted my high scores. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — The new update *2018-06-26, version 3.0* The only good thing about the new update is the reshuffle button. The creators changed the format to where it constantly doesn’t register my taps. It’s really annoying. ### 1/5 — New version stinks *2018-06-25* The old version worked just fine. In the new version, you cannot slide tiles like a traditional game (you have to tap single tiles, and can’t move multiple tiles at once, which slows the game) and the ads! The previous version had no ads and was free. I understand the want to monetize the app for the developers’ work but, like I said, the previous version was just fine. One star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2023-04-01, version 3.0.5* Fast fingers go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-04-23* One of my favourite games to play. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2022-04-03* It’s a fun puzzle and it makes you smarter. It’s so much fun seeing if I can beat my best time! ### 5/5 — Aylin’s opinion for 15 puzzle 🧩 *2020-11-26* I think 💭 that 15 puzzle 🧩 is a great 👍🏻 game for all ages and really builds up their knowledge so they will do better in school or even as a grown adult 🧑🏼. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2020-06-13, version 3.0.2* Good game I play 7 years fun ### 5/5 — Love the game *2020-06-08, version 3.0.2* Love the game, had plastic ones when a kid in the 50’s ### 5/5 — Great *2020-04-30, version 3.0.2* It was amazingly good 😱 ### 5/5 — Fun and easy *2020-01-21* I have tried other slide puzzles before and they don't slide as easy. I enjoy trying my beat my own time. What might make this even better is if they pieces had a picture and not just numbers. ### 5/5 — Пятнашки *2019-11-24* Играла ещё в детстве в костяшечки в коробочке. Ностальжи прямо! ### 5/5 — Addicting *2019-10-02* I learned to solve the puzzle in 2 days. My high score is 9 seconds you will never beat me haha!!! This is a really addictive game though and I love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
