This game is great! I don’t normally do any challenges but I do the daily game every day. I love this game. And the ads haven’t been too bad because normally, I can get out of them pretty quickly. The ability to delete out of the ads is better with this game than most. By the way, I will NEVER buy anything from these ads so they waste a lot of time. But, lately the bra ads are too much. They are long and you cannot get out of them. If they don’t stop soon, I will be deleting this game. You can but an ad free version but it’s $4.99 which is too much. I’d pay $3. I think that’s reasonable. Great game so if you haven’t played it, you should try it. I love number games and word games but don’t play a lot of them because of the ads you can’t get out of.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry ads bother you. After 5 seconds since the beginning of a video ad, if that's not an ad for a hint, there must appear an option to skip the ad: a fast forward or a cross-shaped button. If there's no such button, please contact us via the "Help" in the app with a screenshot of the problem ad. We'll be happy to help!UPDATE: Reduced to one star! Now that I have had the game a bit longer, I have a clearer picture. The game itself remains simple fun, but as expected, the ads have indeed become an issue. They were non-existent at the beginning but then began to appear mid-stage if I added numbers. That could be 5 interruptions within a single stage if all 5 options are needed.….way too many ads, especially since ads are too long. Adding numbers is a basic part of clearing the board and winning the stage. It is not an “aid” like checking to see if there are any more matches on the board. Having to watch a video to add more numbers is like having to watch one to get more letter tiles in Scrabble or to get your second and third roll of the dice in Yahtzee. I can tolerate responsible use of ads, but when an ad pops up in the middle of clearing a stage or makes me watch a video in order to use those functions that are essential to game play, then I am done. The game gets one star for being fun, but loses the rest of its stars due to the ads on the added numbers. There more responsible ways to advertise that do not aggravate the player. Please please DO NOT respond with “ads keep the game free and help with app development. We all know this already. Putting the numbers behind a video paywall is so wrong. Use ads if necessary but use them responsibly!

Hi! We appreciate your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We understand that the ads could be frustrating, and we are working hard to ensure that they appear responsibly while still keeping the game free. We are glad to know that the issue has been resolved to some extent, and we will continue to monitor it closely. We hope you can still enjoy the game despite the ads and the emojis.I really enjoy this app – until now. I recently purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has the 17.4.1 iOS update. Ever since this update I cannot open the app. It just sits there on the opening screen (the one that says Easybrain) and then it closes. However if I get to the opening screen where the little icon shows up, then no problem. Yes, I’ve forced the app to close; I’ve shut down the phone and restarted it; I deleted the app (you know getting rid of the high score) re-downloaded and still can’t open it. THAT IS until the app sends me the notification that it has new numbers for me. Then it opens like a charm. I’m still giving it a five star review because WHEN I can play it, I really really enjoy it.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Next time you open the app, please kindly contact us through the Help section in the app's settings so we could investigate your case. Thank you very much in advance!firstly, agreeing with some other reviews i've seen, we need a dark mode. desperately.
secondly, my good friend and i both play this game (she actually introduced me) same game, same updated version, same everything, EXCEPT the customization. i am able to use the gold star tokens from daily challenges to buy colors for the numbers, grid, selection, and cells, while my friend's game simply has no colors to buy. she is stuck with the default black numbers and there's no way to change it or get new colors or anything. we made certain that we have the same game, and we both have iphones (hers is actually newer) so this is both confusing and frustrating.
thirdly, about the gold tokens and colors. i need more options. the color selection is great, but once you get all of them, there's nothing left to buy so you keep collecting these coin token things after they basically become pointless and worthless to collect. because of this, i've stopped playing the daily challenges and play the game much less than when i was saving up for the colors.
hopefully the devs are already working on at least one of these things.
I have been playing this game for many years. I loved that it kept me thinking, and I loved the special events. That is, until recently. The special events used to be 9 segments to complete, then would gradually go up to 16 segments to complete that phase. Well, some Einstein at the game apparently decided that wasn’t enough. So, now in order to complete the special event, you have 3 phases with 25 segments each! Are you kidding?! That’s 75 segments to collect a little postcard? This used to be a fun, enjoyable game that I’ve played to keep my brain strong and be entertained. But now, it’s just a nuisance! Thanks for destroying something that was entertaining and beautiful, and turning it into something that is a punch in the gut. When the change started four events ago, I thought it was probably a fluke. But, it now seems that it is here to stay. Thanks, but no thanks! I will be deleting this game and finding something comparable to what this game USED TO BE!!

Hello! We're truly sorry to hear about your frustration with the changes in the special events. We always strive to keep the game both challenging and enjoyable, but it seems this update has not been to your liking. Your feedback is extremely important to us, as it helps us understand our players' preferences and guides us in making adjustments. While the current format of the special events was intended to provide more engaging content, we recognize it may not be appealing to all our players. We're grateful for the years of engagement you've had with our game and for sharing your thoughts. Rest assured, your feedback will be noted for future consideration. Our goal is to find a balance that will restore the fun and enjoyment you've previously experienced with our game.As other are saying, the newest update (especially on the daily challenge) ruined the game. You used to start with 3 lines which you could double and make your matches very efficiently. Now with the 3.5 lines, that no longer works.
I know the developers have made it intentionally harder and more challenging, but as my daily fix I used to simply do the daily challenges to get my star. I have not missed since last October, but found the last two days of this October (when they made the update) the worst two days of playing. I didn’t mind the extra ads, but this update has made me delete the game.
To the developers, I have read your comments about how you have no intention of reversing the change. That’s fine, but realize you have lost a lot of customers who found it terrible and are just deleting the game as I am. You do not need to respond to this review, as I know you have your canned response and I will never read it anyways.

Hello! We understand your feedback regarding the recent update and the changes in the daily challenge. While we won't be reversing these changes, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on improving the game. Thank you for playing, and we're sorry to see you go. If you ever decide to return, we'll be here with more updates and challenges.I generally prefer to play this game when there’s a event so I was excited to see the Halloween event. Seems like they’ve made the game harder but in a stupid way. I don’t generally lose these event games, even the hard ones, but now I am and it’s because the game is purposely giving me garbage. I add a new numbers and there’s literally no match, I even hit the hint button to double check. Fine, get more numbers and it’s an exact copy of the previous numbers. Sure there’re some matches but no way to clear the board, and it just goes on an on like this. Junk numbers you can’t match to anything or exact copies of the line above. I like a challenge but I also don’t like games that cheat. This game is purposely giving numbers you can’t win with probably so they can get you to play the level over and over again and bombard you with ads. I see a point in many “free” games where they transition from a fun game that makes money by making you watch occasional ads to a greedy game that does whatever it can to make you buy things or make you watch a ton of ads to the point the game is no longer playable. This game is getting to that point for me.

Hello! We truly appreciate your detailed feedback. We aim to create a balanced experience for players and hearing your perspective helps. We'll ensure the events remain challenging yet fair. We understand the concern about ads, and we'll re-evaluate the user experience. Your continued support means a lot, and we hope you'll stick with us as we work on improvements.I keep up to date with iPad software updates. The game is brain stimulating but keeps closing itself for no apparent reason. Occasionally the ad will lock the game up and I’ll have to reboot my iPad 5 to restart the locked game. The lockup occurs on 2-3 other apps which seems to point the finger at Apple iOS. But the unexplained closure only occurs with this game. Sometimes I’ll have to tap the screen several times to highlight a number on this game. Non-game apps do not have any of these problems. Safari and Duck Duck Go browsers don’t have problems. I have a lot of memory on my iPad and only using about 1/3 of it. I don’t know what the problem is and reported it to Apple support.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience. Could you please provide some more details regarding your issue through the Help in the app's settings? Once we get more information, we'll be able to solve these problems.I installed this game cause it seemed really interesting and fun to play, which it is. It gives my something to do while keeping my hands and mind busy. However it wasn’t until recently that I the sheer amount of ads as become down right annoying. Now I’m fine with the occasional ad like for example anytime you finish a level or every once in a while when adding more numbers. What I don’t like is that I get an ad whenever I leave the app and come back. Like I’ll level the app for like 5 seconds and when it asks if I would like to continue the level I’m on I get an ad, now this would be fine if it was every once in a while or if you’re out of the app for an extended amount of time but it’s every single time. Not to mention that when you finish a level you get an ad (which again I’m fine with) but when you get a reward after finishing a certain amount of level and then start a new level you get another ad which leaves instances where you are literally getting back to back ads without any actual gameplay. I’m not going to uninstall the game as it is fun to play but I ask please if there’s anyway to decrease the amount of ads id be really grateful because it’s starting to get ridiculous.
Developer Response
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you find the game interesting and engaging. We understand your concerns about ads and we're actively looking into ways to improve the ad experience. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us make the game better. In the meantime, you can consider exploring the option to remove ads in the game's settings. Keep having fun playing! 🎮🌟I like the concept of the game but it sure is hard to enjoy the app. I’ll not comment on the number of ads - that has been well by others. My problem is with the banners. After completing a level when you go the claim your “prize” there is a banner sitting on top of the executable “continue” button. Rotating (more on that later) doesn’t solve the problem the banner continues to cover the button. The only way to continue is to restart the ap - even clicking on the banner doesn’t make the banner go away (it just launches something else to close). Restarting after every completed level is, well a non-starter.
I play the game on an iPad mostly in landscape orientation. About 3/4 of the time after one of the frequent ads play (in landscape) the game flips to portrait even though the iPad remains in landscape. It shouldn’t do that.
Between all the ads and the other problems I question whether it is even worth continuing to play.
