### 5/5 — Where are the help ads ?

*2025-04-27*

I love this game but have relayed on the optional ads to give me clues. They don’t seem to available any longer. Why is that ?

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2025-03-16*

I like this game a lot except for one thing. I’m 72 and my vision is pretty good but I wish you wouldn’t use designs on the sqares that are so easy to mix up. There’s brown with circles, brown with squiggles, pinkish brown with a pattern that looks like the stitching on a soccer ball… You get the idea. Please use colors/patterns that are more distinctly different from one another! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Clever and addictive!

*2023-07-22*

I almost never pay for games. But this one is well worth it…the puzzles are challenging, and well designed. There is just the right amount of challenge to keep it interesting, without too much frustration.

### 5/5 — Soothing Puzzle game

*2023-07-12*

I like this puzzle game a lot, the look and sound and feel of it is relaxing and it feels satisfying to find the correct pattern.

### 5/5 — Great game but way to many ads

*2022-04-03, version 3.0*

### 1/5 — Suddenly doesn’t work

*2022-01-12, version 3.0*

Since roughly 1/1/22, this app will not work right - there’s a row of fused, nonfunctional symbols across the bottom of the screen. This app used to be a reliable standard; now it’s being deleted.

### 2/5 — MOST DISCERNING IS

*2021-08-21, version 1.6*

I WILL GET HOLD OF APPLE SECURITY OF NOT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!

YHE DEVELOPER GIVES AN OPTION TO OPT OUT OF SHARING USERS DATA.

IN SETTINGS ,THERE IS THE OPTION TO TOGGLE TO YES OR NO.

BUT WHEN YOU TAP GO THIS THE TOGGLE IS AUTOMATICALLY ON YES.

NOT OKAY!

WHAT IS WORSE ?

TOGGLE TO NO,(no do
Not share my data), AND LEAVE SETTINGS.

BUT,  I ALWAYS GO BACK IMMEDIATELY TO SETTINGS TO CONFIRM  THAT THIS ACTION I DID BY TOGGLING TO NO, (my privacy is important to me),  IS SET.

SON OF A GUN!
NO THE ACTION AUTOMATICALLY WEMT BACK TO YES.

SEVERAL TIMES I DID THIS. 

EVERY TIME I I WENT BACK TO THAT SETTING IT SWITCHED TO YES.

TJIS IS BREAKING THE APPLE RULES.

I BELIEVE IT IS INSIDIOUS AND NOT BY ERROR!

AGAIN CORRECT THIS IMMEDIATELY.
I WILL CONTACT APPLE!

Deleted

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging!

*2021-01-26*

I love the music and sound effects, but I wish I could turn up the sounds - they’re very calming!  Gameplay itself is smooth and addictive, and you feel very satisfied when you complete a puzzle. Puzzle difficulty scale is about right, maybe a little overzealous, but you pick up the new levels pretty fast.  
Overall, this game is a lot of fun and very challenging!  Plus, there are a TON of puzzles!

### 5/5 — Very unique and satisfying

*2020-11-11*

Really makes you think, but no so difficult that it’s enjoyable. So glad I downloaded it! Great for an older brain like mine to keep sharp.

### 5/5 — Hard but not too hard

*2020-09-17*

Just cleared world one and I'm looking forward to playing this game all the way to the end! It's challenging but never impossible. The feeling of satisfaction when the pattern is completed is usually very rewarding.
