Too Much Assuming!

This isn’t based off of logic. It’s based off of you having to assume parts of the answer without letting you know about that information! If you keep playing this game you will start assuming your stupid!

Hi Jaylangston77, I'm doing my outmost best to make the daily challenges really challenging and as logical as possible. I realize sometimes there are some “vague” ones among them. However I think (and I hope) the quality of the recent challenges is improving a lot. Have you recently played (a vague) one which didn’t meet your expectations? We really appreciate your feedback, so we can improve the app. You could always send me an email (jeroen@smartfriendsapp.com). Looking forward hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your reply! Kind regards, Jeroen

Not Working Too Well With VoiceOver

As a blind person I feel this app has a lot of potential, but isn’t as accessible as it should be. Though the latest update seems to give me the ability to read the challenge via my screen-reader, there’s no such luck with the diagrams. Having some means of describing the diagrams would greatly increase its functionality for someone such as myself. Please consider.

Hi Blinky, Thanks for your review! Happy that you now can play the verbal challenges. I would love to hear your idea of a solution for the diagrams and discuss this with you. We can research what would be possible. Could you please send me an email to jeroen@smartfriendsapp.com? Thanks! Kind regards, Jeroen

Fun, but then… and Later!!

Update: The developer contacted me, explained the issue, and asked for a 2nd chance. Not only did it load beautifully but there is also the ability to zoom in on the images. Fingers crossed this stays working as it really is a fun game.

This puzzle app was pretty fun for the first five days. A single puzzle, written or visual, each day was just enough to get the cobwebs knocked off in the morning. But then on day 6 it wouldn’t load. Same on day 7. I deleted it and reloaded it but it wouldn’t load. Day 8 with no loading was the straw and I deleted it for good. Nice try. No cigar.

Hi Carrie, Thanks for your review! Last Saturday we sent the e-mail below, probably it reached your spam box. I’m happy to help and get your SmartFriends app fixed. Please let me know if the instructions below worked out properly. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope you will re-join us :-). Looking forward hearing from you. Hi smart friend, Last week we were not so smart. We possibly messed up your SmartFriends account. Don’t worry, we will fix this together! 1. Please terminate the SmartFriends app (swipe up to close). 2. Re-open the app. 3. Is your app loading and do you see today’s challenge? YES You don’t need anything to do, your account is perfectly fine. NO Remove the app from your phone (not only remove it from the Home Screen, but completely delete it), download it and sign in again. Just because we messed up, we will make sure you’ll get unlimited access for free. Please sign in again before October 25. We’re sorry for this stupidity. Creating the SmartFriends app doesn’t make us necessarily the smartest. If you have any questions or need help, please send a message to info@smartfriendsapp.com. Thanks! Kind regards, Jeroen

Addictively challenging

Love the variety of puzzles that challenge you to think outside the box. Love that even if you get it wrong, you get a chance to learn. Love that you can invite friends. Great app to get the grey matter firing each morning.

Thanks Max! Welcome to the SmartFriends community :-)

Feels like they’re trying to trick you

I haven’t had this long but I’m deleting it. You only get one game a day and the first time I figured it out but accidentally tapped the wrong answer. It said too bad, your current streak is 0 and come back tomorrow to see the explanation for the answer (which I knew anyway). Today’s was that two women decided to play tennis against each other for $1 a game. One woman won 3 times and the other woman won $5. How many games did they play? The answer was 11. I’m not sure what I’m missing but I’m certainly not enjoying it. It just annoys me. Glad it was free the day I downloaded it.

Hi Magicandmayhem, Thanks for your review! I'm sorry you didn't like it. The fact that I limited the app to only one challenge every day is to make it suitable to be played against friends. This way it will cost limited time, so it can easily be played every day. Besides, challenging your (logical) brain once a day makes already a big difference. There are already many brain train apps in the AppStore with extensive training programs. We’re trying to do something different with playing together with friends on a daily base. The answer to the challenge you described was 11 indeed. If you wish I could send you the explanation by e-mail (it’s too extensive to post here), just send me a message if you’d like to: info@smartfriendsapp.com. Of course I understand why you didn’t like it. I appreciate your feedback, thanks for that! Looking forward hearing from you. Kind regards, Jeroen
