I really enjoy this game, as it gives my brain a bit of a challenge, without requiring TOO much deep thought. However, it seems that recently, the iPad version has become really unstable. First, after almost every ad that plays, the app will crash, then try to restart, and ultimately hang, so I end up having to force close it and relaunch the app. I’ve also had it crash on me in the middle of game play, where again, I would have to force close the game and relaunch it.
The iPhone version doesn’t seem to have these problems. Just in case it was an issue with the new Stage Manager in iPadOS 16, I’ve tried turning that off, and that didn’t seem to make any difference.
Please fix whatever is different on the iPad version, so that it’s as stable as the iPhone version. I’ll come back and revise my rating when you do that.

Hi! Thank you so much for reporting the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please be informed that we are aware of the bug and currently are doing our best to fix it. As soon as there are any updates, we will inform you immediately.I have been playing this game for over a year and absolutely loved it. I love numbers any way shape or form I can use them. Recently, every time an ad runs either the game freezes and you have to stop or it will completely freeze so that I have to shut off my device and reboot it or it goes back to the beginning and it says continue game? There’s been a couple of times where the game I was playing has been completely lost. I don’t understand what’s happened it was great and now it’s not working right. Have the designers abandoned it; if they haven’t, please help because I really do love this great game.
I’ve payed this game for months. Love the game but it constantly closes up on me so that I have to go into the app from the start. This happens on both phone and iPad and I just upgraded my iPad and it’s worse. Also, there are a lot of times where the touch feature doesn’t work and I’ve actually lost games due to that. I really this that the server is not equipped. just as i thought it was starting to get better… it’s even worse. The program closes out/freezes up constantly.
I just downloaded this game the other day and enjoy it other than the fact that after playing it for a while it is still like in the tutorial mode where it is giving hints automatically. It’s hard to really challenge myself when every few seconds it highlights matches available to me (even when I’m not asking for a hint). My husband has the game but his doesn’t do this anymore so I’m not sure why it is still giving hints without asking for it. If there is a way to turn this off please let me know as I’ve searched the settings but can’t find anything.
Other than that one thing- I love everything else about the game and I’m addicted!!

Hello! Thanks for your review. We have removed these hints; please, try to pass any stage now. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us.So it’s gotten extremely frustrating to play in the past few week. Up until about the 2nd week of October, everything was fine. Then I was playing along one day and it crashed after an ad. I thought maybe it was just a reg old crash back to Home Screen on my iPad, opened it back up and continued. A day or two later, it happened after EVERY ad. Now I have to watch an ad, expect a crash, reopen game, watch ANOTHER ad, do a bit more, watch an ad….you get my problem. I’m not even sure at this point if I want to continue playing. Events aren’t fun when it doesn’t stop crashing.
What I was looking for: engaging, easy pasttime game. Odd at 1st I occasionally achieved very high scores (4000's). After latest app update never a high score like that. This game got MUCH harder. Now it's rare to reach level 2 even. The ad time is fair at the free level apart from opting to reload available hints (so no hints, not worth it). Early on hints seemed to "recharge" eventually? No longer. Update: figuring I have little to lose, I've allowed updates to this app recently. My woes are worse. It seems even harder now ☹️, and ads seem to be slightly more frequent (but don't last very long. It's become just about not enjoyable, on the brink of uninstalling...update: still addictive & fun. I hadn't updated in quite a while, everything was fine. Recently updated; now frequently closes abruptly when completing a stage. I've recently reached level 10 IIRC.

Hi there, we're sorry you're experiencing trouble! Could you please share more details of this issue with our team through the "Help" section in the app or at support@easybrain.com? We'll be glad to help!I absolutely love this game. It worked fine at first on my iPad then suddenly when an ad would run after I hit +. It would go back to the last screen and then close out the game entirely. Then I would have to open it it again and it would open the last game with the last 2 matching numbers for me to click again. Then I would hit + and it would load new numbers again until it was time for the next ad and the same cycle would repeat. I have removed the app and reinstalled it several times and it keeps doing it. Very frustrating. My iPad is an older one so perhaps it’s a compatibility issue in which case is bummer since I really do love this game.

Hello, thank you for your review and for choosing our app. We apologize for the inconvenience, could you please provide some more details regarding your issue using the “Help” section inside the app, or at support@easybrain.com? Once we get more information, we'll be able to solve this problem.I play this and the East Brain Sudoku- and since I play them both daily, I paid for them. The developers have made the cleanest, most user friendly interfaces I’ve seen.
This game if fun and can be addictive, I’m recently, hopefully temporarily, disabled and I find myself creating challenges for fun - like trying to end up with a specific numbers at the end. I play on the iPad and the iPhone, my game play hasn’t seem to sync, but I don’t mind since I can’t remember what I’ve done from one device to the other!
***Update*** In response to developer, I totally get the need for ads. I don’t mind them per se, however, the significant increase as of late has decreased my enjoyment. The ads I see have almost tripled from just two or three weeks ago. Before, the ads would slow play down a bit but now it’s grinding play down to a crawl. It can be hard to stay engaged. I keep trying to come back to game to re-engage but literally every time I use the + feature (when no matches are left) I must watch a 30-60 second ad. When it was just the hints feature that generated an ad, it was much better. I am honestly now to the point of deleting game. **** Great game. I use it to unwind and settle my brain. Would have given 5 stars but in the last week the number of ads have jumped WAY up. Now I get an ad every time I use the + button. Previously it only had ads for using the hints. Won’t stop playing but the increase in ads is distracting.

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your concerns with us. We apologize if your gaming experience has been ruined. We make every effort to ensure our users' comfort and happiness. We will use your feedback to evaluate changes and make improvements to our ads policy and pricing.I love this game because it was the perfect level of difficulty. One of the things that always encouraged me to play were the “events” where you had the chance to win hints. Now that those events are no longer on the app, I find myself playing significantly less. I much prefer playing a game when there’s an achievable goal and now it just feels like aimless game play. Furthermore, I needed the hints to continue moving forward because, generally, the puzzles are pretty difficult for me! And now it just feels like the app is desperately trying to get me to use more ads like one of those kids adventure games. I’m definitely dissatisfied with the newest version!
