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.

Great to do each morning with a cup of coffee.

Thanks Mike-India-Kilo-Echo! If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us!

JeroenInteresting but challenges need to vary out of basic pattern recognitions. The app is not terribly robust and can be glitchy when trying to enlargen the challenge.

Hi Rocketsafari,
Thanks for your review! We are continuously looking for new types of challenges which are suitable for the app. Hopefully you will find them varied enough in the future, we're doing our best and are working on it :-)
Regarding the glitches, you're absolutely right! On smaller devices the zoom function doesn't show pretty. On the next update this will be solved.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know!
Kind regards,
JeroenI am confused about the lifetime access. This app is not something that you can buy a lifetime subscription for as many puzzles that you want to solve in a day. I purchased the lifetime but see no changes made to the app. It is still asking me to buy for more puzzles and not provide them as I keep solving. Now coming to puzzles, there is a pattern. Its either linear equations or some arithmetic or some visual geometry, etc. but all of it are like 6th grade math concepts. Can you make it something for adults too?
UPDATE
The makers of this app contacted to resolve the issue from my initial reviews. The app is still in its developmental phase so totally understand the bugs and hope it will improve in future versions.
I was offered refund but I preferred more puzzles rather than sharing bank details.
The app is catered to audiences of varied age categories so it makes sense why the puzzles are sometimes hard and sometimes easy.
But overall time will be well spent with this app. Although I wouldn’t care to buy puzzles.

Hi Shamushikari,
Thanks for your review. Something had gone wrong obviously, maybe it’s a bug. Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send us a message from within the app (contact / talk to us button)? Then we have your account details and are able to solve it. Thanks!
Kind regards,
JeroenThese are a lot of fun. I've already started to see patterns of puzzle types that I do well on, like spacial relations, and ones I do poorly on, like word problems and shapes. Looking forward to seeing if I can improve.
I love this game! The daily problem is difficult but win or lose, entertaining. Because it is a single problem, it is doable and I don’t feel rushed. Great idea if a game.

Thank you jppisme! Welcome to the SmartFriends community :-) My only gripe is that when the possible choices are displayed along the bottom, they’re too small. Come on developers, make them bigger!
UPDATE:
Thank you for addressing my concern. I knew that I could tap the puzzle itself to get a larger image. I had never tried tapping the Challenge Options, but it does indeed then show the answer choices in a larger format. However, I’m still keeping my review at four stars. The reason is your app only works in portrait, but the larger images for the puzzle and answers come up in landscape. You’ll get that fifth star from me when the larger images are also in portrait. Once again, thanks for your quick reply.

Hi Old School,
Thanks for your review! I understand your concerns.
If you press or make the “zoom gesture” on the challenge image or answers, a page with the zoomed images will be shown. At the bottom you can also select “challenge options” which shows the zoomed answer options.
Hopefully that helps. If not, please let me know and send a message to jeroen@smartfriendsapp.com. Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
UPDATE:
Thanks for the suggestion about the zoom function! In version 2.23 we completely changed it. You can now see the challenge and options in a single zoomable screen. This makes it much easier to use. This version has just been released.
Any more suggestions? Please let me know. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
