There are no real people in the tournaments. Except for myself. All the others listed are bots. Sorry, you think that you have to make others think differently. No matter how hard I try to gain higher points, the bots always win. Just not fair. As soon as I make my way up the ladder it is not long before I am knocked back down. I am sure you won’t post this for others to see since all the other comments are fake.
If this is true than explain why when I gain over another player, someone comes along two seconds later and knocks me back down. Explain why it is I never have a 100,000 game. Yet so many others do. The game must be rigged. I keep trying and losing.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Only real people participate in the tournaments, no bots. If you were confused by the nicknames, they are generated randomly on our end. You have a similar nickname too. There are quite a lot of players who gain new scores every second. 🙂 Also, please note that all the reviews of our app are real, no fake comments here - this violates Apple's review policy, and we never violate any policies. Hope this explains.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 used….way too many ads, especially since ads are too long. I did contact support and the issue is better, still happens but not nearly as often. I can tolerate responsible use of ads, but when an ad pops up in the middle of clearing a stage, then I am done. The game gets one star for being relatively fun, but loses stars due to intrusiveness of the ads and for the silly emojis they added and refuse to remove. Please please DO NOT respond with “ads keep the game free and help with app development. Use ads if necessary but use them responsibly! And do not tell me you cannot remove the emojis….you added them so you can stop them.

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 generally play the free version of games except for two reasons. 1) I really like the game or 2) the ads are SUPER ANNOYING, like popping up in the middle of play. This game happens to be both, so I purchased the ad-free version of the game. I’d give it more stars if there was a benefit to purchasing the game other than getting rid of the ads. With the paid version, hints are unlimited and free, but you still earn “coins” after each game. What are the coins for? There’s absolutely nothing to spend them on in the paid version. They just keep piling up for no reason. Why not offer the option to use the coins to purchase “boosts” like a “shuffle” button, or “swap two numbers”? Finally, for the daily challenges why does the game just end once you’ve hit the target? Why not allow the option to keep playing after you hit the daily target? I’d spend some of my useless coins on that.
Developer Response
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We will definitely consider your feedback about the coins for users with in-app purchases. We'll keep working on improving the app and will discuss your suggestions, thank you again for your ideas!It’s great for brain stimulation. I finally paid for the ad free version after having it for a little while. This game is fun and stimulating, it’s good for when you wanna wind down or relax because it keeps your brain occupied. I would say the only downfall it has, it’s that it doesn’t have an “undo” option. Sometimes I highlight a number and forget to unhighlight it and it matches with the number I didn’t wanna match it with and I just wish at those times that there was an option to undo. I think it would help a lot of people.
I loved this game for winding down - contained a level of brain challenge with no stress of time limits. Good to end the day. But now you’ve added all sorts of flashy stuff, which is extremely distracting to the point that I do not want to play it. Two stars is generous with this update! What is extra disappointing is that much of the flash pertains to score. Who plays this game for scores? Yes, it is interesting to get through to additional levels, but it is not a game of increasing skill - too much chance of the “draw” for that. The update’s color changes for numbers, likewise, did nothing to add to the game, just another distraction with no discernible purpose. Dump this and bring back the simplicity! Because I used to enjoy it so much, I may check back occasionally to see if you have reverted, but I will NOT be playing this numbers game in its current state.

Hello! We are sorry to hear that you don't like these emojis and pop-up messages. 😢 At this moment, it doesn't fit our current development plans to remove them, but we'll keep your opinion in mind. We hope you can still enjoy the game. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us.Update: Really appreciate how this developer reads comments & responds. I love another of their apps (jigsaw puzzle) - and they always respond to questions & listen to user feedback. Thanks!!
Orig post: Took me a while to figure out this game, but now I love it ... except the last update messed up a good thing. Wish the developers would add the option to turn off the super-annoying new animation. It's distracting - slows things down & blocks the view of the board. Please make it stop! 😁
Well, it’s a fun, simple little game. Uncomplicated. I was hoping to pay for an ad-free version because ads these days are super annoying with multi-part timesd sections. The longer an ad is, the less likely I will ever buy the thing being advertised, or anything by that advertiser, and it’s not long before I delete the app that keeps showing me ads like that.
Tapping the “go ad-free” area, I was dismayed to see that the only option for ad-free is a MONTHLY FEE of $3.99. With tax that’d be over $50 per year. This is how things are now. You can’t just pay for a product and use it. They want you on the hook so you can pay and pay and pay. Hopefully you’ll forget to cancel it when you stop playing.
An app like this used to be $3.99, period. No way will I ever pay a subscription fee for such a thing. And now that I know it’s the only option, I will not play the “free” version either, because that also monetizes ME as the user by forcing me to watch ads. I’m sick and tired of simple games with multiple and frequent long ads.
Boo.
Developer Response
Hello, thanks for your review. Unfortunately, at the moment, only a monthly subscription is available for our users. We will consider a one-time fee to be brought back in our following updates; stay tuned! If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us.I LOVED LOVED LOVED this game until a couple of recent updates. A while ago the whole screen was shortened and now there’s too much empty space at the bottoms of the screen (note, the screenshots in the App Store do not match the actual game) THEN they went and added emojis, fancy way numbers are added and removed from the number grid, blue balloons popping up then floating to the top of the screen when scoring points - all of which are distracting and juvenile - plus it slows down playing time. I’m all for improvements with updates but these are not that. Why’d you have to go and mess with something that was working well with a great user interface (which I paid for, by the way)? Please undo these “updates”! Or, at least give us the option to get rid of all that silly and annoying stuff, please. Otherwise, can I just have my money back, please?
I enjoy playing this game. It’s interesting to play casually. Thank you for fixing the issue I was having on my iPad with this game!
I downloaded this a number of weeks back and enjoyed it until yesterday. Now, when the ads finish and I go back to play, the app crashes. I tried reinstalling but that didn’t help. I like the game, but can’t play it when I keep having to restart the app after each ad. Too bad, as it is a fun game.
The latest update just completed today and unfortunately it didn't work. Game still crashes. Advertisements appear upside down and sideways. Screen blacks out when you finish a board and no way to return to game unless I shut it down and restart it. I stopped playing for awhile thinking that the issues would be resolved. Please have your programmers work on these issues. Would love to upgrade to premium but not until the game works correctly. Thank you for an awesome game. Looking forward to an updated version.
