Not a single regret here! ### 5/5 — Active brain *2015-01-01, version 1.4.0* What a fun app! Sometimes very challenging, and sometimes a little easier--these riddles will definitely give your brain a work out. I definitely recommend it for anyone searching for something to stretch your mind. Highly recommend! ### 4/5 — Good daily game *2014-12-28, version 1.4.0* This is a pretty good little game. Its mechanics are occasionally a bit annoying but the riddles often take a bit of puzzling over and it's a good game to play as a morning wake-up or an evening cool-down. ### 4/5 — Cracked it *2014-12-23, version 1.4.0* I figured out the I can be cracked riddle-it's a joke ### 5/5 — The best riddle game *2014-12-13, version 1.4.0* A year of riddles is an awesome game if you want to Lear about riddles. I love playing this game. Anyone should get it so get it it's the best!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Good Mind Teaser *2014-11-23, version 1.3.1* Will get you thinking! ### 4/5 — Fun game *2014-11-17, version 1.3.1* Fun little game that makes you think outside the box ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-11-02, version 1.3.1* Challenging but not fustrarating ### 5/5 — Very fun app! *2014-10-17, version 1.3.1* With this app, you get 365 free riddles. Some are easier than others so it is fun for everyone. Also, if you can't get one, you can always use points you earn from solving others to get hints or the answer. ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-10-07, version 1.3.1* Gets the brain going on a daily basis-great app :) ### 5/5 — Really good riddle game!!! *2014-09-30* I'm really enjoying this game! I like the way it's formatted. I like that you can drag the letters but don't have to. I also like that I can easily skip past a riddle if you're stuck and come back to it later. I've even got my wife in on it so we guess together. Who would have thought something so simple could encourage family time? ### 5/5 — Un buen app *2014-09-04, version 1.3.1* Es muy buena. Los rompecabezas son dificiles a vezes pero es muy divertido. Pierdo mucho tiempo al jugar. ### 5/5 — cheetahcat review *2014-09-01, version 1.3.1* if you like brain trickers then get this app as soon as possible. if you ever get stumped just go on to the next one and hints are available. so get this app now bc it might get sold out bc a lot of people will want to get it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Completely Illogical *2023-09-25* The riddles don’t have a logical solution that can be solved with reasoning. Skip this app. They make up nonsense. Yeah, I immediately think of popcorn when something “changes its jacket”. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Dirty *2017-08-21* My little sister and I have been doing all these riddles together and have been loving it... until I came across one in April that was completely unnecessarily sexual and dirty. I'm extremely disappointed that they took a kid friendly game and ruined it with on stupid riddle. ### 1/5 — Poor Grasp of English *2015-10-14* Many of these riddles are excellent but a substantial percentage appear to have been written by someone who speaks English as a second language or were written by someone who does not quite grasp the point of riddles. The object of a riddle is to provide RELEVANT information about the solution. Tricky word uses are great as are clues that don't have an obvious connection to the solution. However if the provided information has no connection with the riddle it isn't really a brain teaser - it's a guessing game. Guessing games and riddles are quite different. My recommendation is to look back over the clues and solutions. Any riddles with clues that aren't relevant need to be revised or replaced. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-10-04* Would rate zero if it was an option the wording is atrocious. ### 1/5 — I really dislike it *2014-09-17, version 1.3.1* You don't get hints that actually give you a clear hint. ### 1/5 — You have to buy stuff *2014-04-11, version 1.3.1* Fun app, but after you run out of clue points, they make you buy more. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised, since all apps seem to be are video games with purchasable upgrades or essential items. ### 1/5 — Old fashioned teasers! *2013-02-09, version 1.2.0* So nice to find a puzzle that tests the brain and great to share as well. For a free app, it's excellent. As I said, a tad old fashioned but isn't that nice in a fast and furious modern world. February 2013 ... Still enjoying, great for sharing as well! ### 3/5 — Challenging in the wrong way *2014-10-11, version 1.3.1* Riddles without logic November 5th's riddle answer is "s". October 10th riddle: Toss me out the window, You'll find a grieving wife, Pull me back but through the door, And watch someone give life. The answer is. “N”. Huh? Really? I like a good riddle, but this app needs some proofreading. It seems to revolve around generated riddle lists rather than classic riddle logic. Some of the riddles are the classic ones found in books going back to the 1600's, but most of them are poorly constructed filler riddles that have the dysfunctional logic of a toddler. ### 3/5 — Riddles *2014-09-06, version 1.3.1* Lots of Fun ### 3/5 — Too many misspelled words. *2014-04-10, version 1.3.1* Good app, good riddles, no proofreading. The differences of "to" and "too" mean a lot with regard to riddles, as does "your" used for "you're." Nuances, but important ones that completely change inferences. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-15* I have bought the apps on my Samsung and have this one on my iPhone. This update (3.0.0) is great too. <3 :) ### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! *2017-02-09* I just finished solving all the riddles with a balance of 732 points!! My sister introduced this app to me in November and I played it in my spare time. A few times I accidentally hit clues when changing the letters around. I wonder who has the highest points! A really fun app that makes you look outside the box. Love it!! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-03-01* This app is really good for your brain👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Love love love *2015-09-20* Wonderful app with great Riddles love love love this app ### 5/5 — Great if you are not good with riddles *2015-08-19* I struggle, really struggle, with riddles. But this app gives you a break: for credits earned for solving you can get hints like what is the first letter, or how many letters, etc. it gives you a fighting chance! Great app! ### 5/5 — Up for the challenge?!😃 *2015-07-25* A lot of clever riddles for each day of the year! ### 5/5 — Really Good *2015-07-19* This is a great app☺️ ### 5/5 — Riddlesareawsome *2015-06-08, version 1.4.1* This is a great app👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-03-09, version 1.4.1* This app is simple and fun.
