One challenge a day

That’s all I need! Love that the explanation is immediately available after submitting and that I can go back a few days to check answers. Wonderful variety of challenges, too.

Awesome

A fun daily challenge to get your brain ticking over.

Very Challenging and Fun

You can vie against friends or others in the app. A new puzzle each day. You can get the answer to the previous question the next day. I love being challenged mentally.

Sometimes not smart or friendly

While many of the challenges give your brain a workout others fall short on logic and presentation. Occasionally a puzzle will be presented with errors in logic, unnecessary confounding factors, fundamental flaws in presentation, unclear graphics or multiple answers may be possible due to application of different, still valid, approaches. This would be ok except…the providers of the challenges seem reticent to address some issues directly, this leaves the community (I hesitation call them friends) to squabble amongst themselves. It also adversely affects your rank, as you are still penalised for the ‘incorrect’ answer even when no correct answer is logically available.

Response to Developer: I tried addressing the issues via the in app comments some weeks ago and more recently. That would be the best place for you to look.

Hi Paradimn, Thanks for your review! I'm sorry you don't feel welcome here anymore. Would it be possible to let us know which of the challenges was incorrect? We had a mistake on February 14th and asked the smart friends to send us a message, in order to adjust their scores. Maybe this message hasn't reached you. Regarding users criticizing others, we will monitor this more closely and take proper actions when necessary. Thanks for the heads-up, as this is really undesirable. SmartFriends' goal is to train your brain in a fun way, a positive community should be part of that. Please send me a message and I will look into what went wrong regarding the mistake: jeroen@smartfriendsapp.com. Looking forward hearing from you. Thanks again! Kind regards, Jeroen

Challenging yet fun

I look forward to solving each day's puzzle. Occasionally I get stumped but I can usually work them off, given enough time, if I think outside three box! Keep them coming!!!

Boring after a while

Volksy48

Just tried to do my first puzzle. A disaster! The yellow figures to choose from were so faint I could only guess.
Yellow on white not the best choice.
Will maybe give a better score if this is fixed.

Response from developer

Hi Volksy48, Thanks for your review! Indeed the colors of that challenge weren’t chosen wisely. Did you see that you could zoom in on the images? Maybe that would have made it a bit easier. However, we shall take a better look at the color selection in the future. Kind regards, Jeroen UPDATE: Hi Volksy48, Are you still playing? Curious if you think the layout improved in the last month. Thanks in advance for your reply! Kind regards, Jeroen

Exercise your brain!

This app is creative and consistently challenging without becoming too difficult to enjoy. I look forward to playing it everyday. I appreciate that there is an explanation of the correct answer in case you got it wrong. Also, I like the interaction of comments from other players.
