Love this game. I really wish it had the option to play in dark mode, or a way to invert the colors, change themes maybe? The white screen is just too bright for my eyes and keeps me from being able to play sometimes. I use this game to help me fall asleep or to help me through a panic attack, but the white screen makes it too hard sometimes.
Also, for some reason when I play on my iPad, the challenges are not on there? You can just play the normal part of the game? I prefer to play the challenges and I prefer to play on iPad. But end up having to use my phone for challenges.
I’ve been playing this app for months. I really enjoy it and use it as a way to wind down and exercise my brain at the end of the day. I played it for a long time before I purchased the ad free version. As soon as I purchased the ad free version it got really weird. It was like all along I had been building my skill level and increasing my high scores and daily scores and feeling challenged constantly - then as soon as I paid for it things stopped matching up (like there were legitimately a significantly lower number of matches) and I was only getting scores in the 100 to 300 range where before I was getting the scores as high as 7000. it’s like it completely stopped being challenging at a level that it was previously. I don’t understand this but I’m not receiving satisfaction or exercise from playing the game anymore. that used to be that one round could go on and on with different combinations and different levels but as soon as I paid for the game that all stopped.

Hello, thanks for writing a review. We are extremely sorry to hear about your experience, could you please contact us at support@easybrain.com at your earliest convenience, we'll do our best to help you.The idea of this game was great! I agree that it could use some of the improvements mentioned in other reviews such as an undo button and more consistency. These aren’t the reasons for the bad review, though.
This game OVERHEATS my phone like you would not believe! My phone has never overheated from any app before. A couple rounds played amidst the excessive ads (seriously, I’ve never seen so many ads in a game before!!) causes the app to slow, freeze, and crash. I liked the game to the point where I really wanted to ignore these issues but these aren’t the types of issues that one can ignore! Ultimately, I had to delete the app.
(I considered paying to remove the ads but the price was not worth the gameplay improvements that still need to be made and without full insurance that this would fix the crashing and overheating issues.)
I RARELY pay for apps, and I’ve never written a review, but here I am now. I really loved this game when I first downloaded it, it’s right up my alley- I love numbers, I like a realistic challenge, and I hate ads, so I splurged I upgraded for the few dollars. I don’t regret it, but I definitely wish there were more challenge options. I finished the first puzzle challenge quickly, and assumed there would be another challenge lined up, but I had to wait almost a week to get another challenge which was disappointing, especially because I paid into it.
I also feel like there should be different level options, outside of the challenges. Once you get the hang of the game the easier boards are really easy to complete. There should be some other incentives to keep playing. I have no suggestions on how to improve it other than overall more avenues to play. Maybe challenge other players? Maybe do a timed challenge? I’m not that creative, but I’m sure others can suggest ideas.
I only gave this three stars because usually when you pay for a game it makes it worthwhile, and I feel this isn’t. I really enjoy the game, but once the challenges are complete it looses its pizzazz, and the wait time to receive the next challenge is way too long. I love the game though!

Hello! Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are working hard to make the app more challenging and exciting for our players; that’s why we have added events, daily challenges, and tournaments. Moreover, we have recently added a small math crossword; you can find it in the settings of our app. We will consider introducing a timed challenge in our following updates. There’s no specific date for that, but we’ll try to add it soon. If you have any other suggestions – please don’t hesitate to let us know.It’s an enjoyable game, but it feels like a first version. It would be SO much more fun if there were extras. I would feel like I could have more control over the strategy of the thing rather than depending on luck. Of course there’s some thinking and strategy involved, if you’re careful with the order you eliminate numbers then you might have more possibilities, but ultimately it comes down to whether or not the numbers you need are in the right place. I wish there was an undo button. I wish I could earn extras like a swap button. I wish new numbers would automatically populate once there were no more possible matches.
I wish extras would be rewarded for things like achieving a new high score, playing daily, and so on. I hate being handicap and only being able to get so far in a game because certain numbers are set in stone. I will basically never pay for getting rid of the ads because the only way to earn hints is to watch an ad anyway, and all I have to do to not be bothered with ads the rest of the time is turn off my wifi and data.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We're looking into the possibility of developing these options, but can't name any exact timeline of when they will be ready. Thanks for writing in and apologies that we didn't have better immediate news for you.
If you feel like there's anything else that you'd like to see in our app, please don't hesitate to let us know at support@easybrain.com. Thank you!Yes, of course a free app has ads, and yes, there is an option to pay to remove ads. I have never had a problem with that & have purchased that for different games. However, for this game, you can’t even play enough to see if it is worth the ad removal, because it is in ad overload!!!
I imagine I am like most, play the game first before “paying” for the game (ie. remove ads). With this game, that is NOT an option, with the ad overload. Sure, works great for them if they can fool people into immediately purchasing the “remove ads”, but doubt it is a lot, especially when you can’t get to a new game without ad after ad after ad, for just the next game!
The only way to stop the ads is to just close the app and keep it closed. Oh, and delete it. And then come here to leave a review to save others from the hassle. Pay close attention to the developers responses too. I moved this game down to 1 star after their response to my review - “you can go to settings to buy the “remove ad” option”. Just proof that they really do not care about their game, but just want your money.
It seemed so promising, but not worth the time, unless you want to just watch ads and not play.
When I first started playing I ran up some high scores, for me I guess - 23,000. I don’t know how the playing community is scoring. Been playing for about 6 months now and I’ve noticed that as time goes on I seem to get lower and lower scores. Also I get a lot of stage 1 fails now as compared to my first efforts.
Is there an algorithm built in that as the number of games you play increases, your odds of success are lower?
I still love the game though! It’s a great time filler.
I just read a few reviews and I saw some folk complaining about having to press the add more button and that they wanted it to automatically do it. While I was reading I learned that I play very differently then a lot of you. For example I lay out all the numbers right at the beginning then pair from there. Not having access to the add button would ruing the game for me and probably a few others I saw in the reviews who also played this way.
On another note, while not being able to undo has been frustrating countless amounts of times it’s made me better and more patient. If I want to beat my high score I know I can’t rush my move, I have to be strategic. There’s no 30sec video that’ll save me from one wrong move. That being said there could totally be an option to choose your level. It would accommodate everyone’s play style.

Hi! Thanks for pointing out what we can improve in future updates. We really appreciate your feedback and will do our best to live up to your expectations. Stay tuned!After I figured out the rules, I thought this game was very fun and challenging. The thing I hate are how long the ads are and how frequent. I can’t even finish a round without a few different ads running usually at least 30 seconds. If I’d finished a game, I would expect an ad, but not in the middle of it. I also don’t understand when you are out of plays and have to add more numbers, it’s not consistent on what spaces are between the existing numbers and the new numbers if there is any spacing. It could be used to strategize if there was some format to how that worked. I’ve had this app for a few months, but am deleting it today for these reasons. There has to be a better option.
The game is amazing I’ve spent over an hour on it for every day the past week but the part that annoys me is that the more you play the more as you get like I could press new game and it will send me an ad then i will x out of it then I will press new game again and it will send me another ad like before when I first started playing and I press The + It wouldn’t send me an ad but now every time I press the + it sends me an ad. The more you play the more how to get it and that’s the only thing I don’t really like about this game. I also wish that there was a reverse but because I usually always realize a better match after I already did one ha ha. Great game nonetheless
