### 5/5 — Great

*2025-03-16*

5 out of 5, super entertaining, has adds but not as much, would be nice to have it’s own FaceTime I used Whatsapp, have a conversation while playing.

### 5/5 — Best for iPad on the App Store

*2024-07-03*

Enjoyable to play and can set opponent’s skill level.

### 5/5 — Online and Puzzles

*2022-07-23*

This game is very entertaining and uses Connect 4 to its fullest potential without being very flashy, even though the game does have ads it’s well worth it for the free download. It offers so much, with the online play, and the puzzles, plus the simple design for local and solo play, it’s worth the 5 second ads.

Well worth the download and probably the ad free version too.
