Great app
Lots of very fun puzzles, and impressive customizability on many of them.Dean M. Tingey
I'll never be bored again!...
...but my god, please add a zoom feature! Everything is so tiny!OKsgars
An almost perfect app
This port of Simon Tatham's Puzzle collection is fantastic. One of the best puzzle apps, or even best apps in general!
My only gripe is that larger puzzles are very difficult to both see and control on the iPhone 5S. A zoom feature, or even slightly modified controls would make this app incredible.Show lessEvan BG

I have been playing most of these puzzles for many years, from various sources on various platforms. I didn't know about this iOS collection, but stumbled upon it today. Simple, no frills interface is nice. Perhaps the developer could add a more persistent indication than the momentarily flashing board after a puzzle has been successfully completed, but that is a suggestion, not a complaint.Show lesslongtemps
An awesome port of awesome puzzles
Simon's puzzles have been a staple on my laptop for years, and Greg has brought them all to my iPad. These puzzles are fantastic brain-burners, with a (mostly) faithful translation of mouse clicks and keyboard use to iOS taps. He's very responsive to questions. A quality app at an unbeatable price.Show lesshymie!
My favorite logic games
Love the port, and everything works for the most part. The controls are a bit unnatural, which is understandable given the limitations of not having a mouse.
My main issue is with Pattern (my favorite game). There is no way to make white squares, and a zoom would be very helpful for the small tiles. I may have just missed them, but the help docs are straight from the PC and still refer to "mouse" and "left/right click"

Excellent Puzzle Collection!!! Great for Solitare Lovers!!!
This is an excellent collection of puzzles, similar to what you'd find in a puzzle variety magazine. I've tried five or so of them, and I'm hooked. Each one I've tried has settings that change the complexity of the puzzle and other perameters, so you can start off with an easy version and make it harder as you get the hang of it. You can choose any level of complexity each time, so you can set it according to your mood. Each puzzle stands alone; there are no flashy rewards for solving, no scores or stats are kept. This retro idea is refreshing, and ideal for times when you are looking for low-key brain exercise. The puzzles vary widely, from a version of Mastermind, to an exercise in untangling string, to grid-filling games of various kinds. The documentation is well-written, explaining the puzzle and the controls. While the documentation was originally written for keyboard- and mouse-based computers, it's pretty easy to understand. (Hint - hold your finger down to right-click.) If you love the challenge of figuring out new games, this is a good puzzle collection for you! If you love Solitaire card games, but are bored and looking for something similar-yet-new, check this out - you'll be bound to find a puzzle favorite amongst this extensive collection.Show lessDIYgal7
