It is so much fun. I can't quit playing! ### 5/5 — Top Notch Numbers Game *2017-03-21, version 1.10* Excellent game, quite addictive and always challenging. Love it! ### 5/5 — Love ❤️ it *2017-03-12, version 1.10* I just love this game because i got it at 11:52 am now it's 1:08 pm and i've not come of it since it's just really amazing ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-10-31, version 1.10* I had never heard of this type of game before, but I got the hang of it & Big 9 is really fun. ### 5/5 — 9 *2016-09-18, version 1.10* Found this game easy to play and quite challenging. It can become addictive. ### 5/5 — 9 *2016-07-17, version 1.9* I'm addicted , can't stop😀 ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2016-05-15, version 1.9* Another mind boggling game to which I'm now addicted. Thanks "mom" and "pop" :) ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2016-04-17, version 1.9* This game is the best. So addictive. The one I play the most. Absolutely love it. ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2016-04-07, version 1.8* This is my new favourite game. Once you get the hang of the tactics it is very challenging and exciting ### 5/5 — Best games ever and they're FREE! *2016-02-26, version 1.4* Super addictive and a lot of fun! Hours of entertainment! And FREE! ### 5/5 — Nine *2016-02-15* The more I play this game the better I like it. It takes a small learning curve to figure out the best placement for the numbers. Like three 2s can become a 3. If you get to 3 9s. A bell shakes and you get fireworks. Twice I've gotten 3 9s in one game. It is addictive. Addendum Just wanted to add that I introduced my daughter to this game and she topped my score the first time now her two sones and daughter have started playing too. We are all enjoying it. ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging! *2016-01-12, version 1.2* Goes quickly! Give it a try! ### 5/5 — Fun, addictive, and makes u think *2016-01-02* I found this after playing a jigsaw puzzle from the same company. It is free and very few ads to deal with. The rules aren't explained well when you start but once you get the hang of this game you won't want to stop. Beware because once you understand how you get to "9" you will look at the clock and wonder where a few hours disappeared to...If you get stuck read some reviews or write to the game maker and they will explain...once you catch on there is no stopping you..... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Not challenging enough. *2015-06-07, version 1.2* This one is too easy. ### 3/5 — good but *2016-06-05, version 1.9* I am still on my first game for about 2 hours now. there is no challenge to it really. you merge 3 1's into a 2, 3 2's into a 3 and so on. when you merge 3 9's, they disappear. it is never ending. it'd be nice to have some kind of goal or increase in difficulty or level as you progress. ### 3/5 — Nana *2015-09-11, version 1.2* Fun fun!! ### 3/5 — Not much of a challenge *2015-05-18* As with all boy howdy apps, this is very well done, but I am mostly missing the point. I have yet to be stumped and have been playing off and on for a month. I am still on the original game I started. It's just not very challenging. Too easy to amass points. ### 4/5 — Well designed game *2020-03-20* I’ve tried other games with a similar concept but they were almost impossible and frustrating. This one is challenging but doable, I love it. It’s not too easy or overly difficult. I also appreciate that the ads are not intrusive and that there are no crazy IAPs (though I would pay a small fee for an ad free option). Thank you for another great game, Boy Howdy! ### 4/5 — Elegant *2018-04-28* I like this game. It’s constantly moving, changing shape, yet you can space out for a bit and not lose. What I don’t like is the imbalance of small numbers and large numbers. When you get 3 or more nines they exit the game. Cool. Meanwhile you get dozens of ones twos and three. It is rare to get 6, 7, 8s or 9s. I don’t see why the random numbers can’t be evenly drawn. If you could make number combos it would be okay. No way. You have to play up in order and the vital number nines are really rare. You get huge pile-ups from all those lower numbers. ### 4/5 — Diva Di *2017-04-12, version 1.11* This is my latest game from Boy Howdy and it is just as good as all the others I have. Like it because it is numbers not letters for a change. You guys do great games!! ### 4/5 — Big 9 *2016-10-04, version 1.10* Fun and challenging Always wanting to get all 9s so one has a blank board. ### 4/5 — What fun! *2016-02-25, version 1.4* Interesting game, simple, but challenging. Recommend it. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2015-05-20* I love this game. It is simple to learn and incredibly addictive. I love all the Boy Howdy games. They are all easy on the eyes with simple rules but enough challenge to keep me coming back for more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Merci! *2024-05-01, version 1.23* Je tiens à vous remercier pour tous les jeux que vous offrez gratuitement. Vous nous permettez d’avoir accès a différents jeux et d’avoir des heures de plaisir. J’ai un souhait d’avoir des jeux de mots en français. Encore une fois merci. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2022-09-16* Happily addicted to this game! ### 5/5 — More fun *2021-05-11* Another fun game by the Boy Howdy team! ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2020-11-12* I love this game! Challenges me to plan ahead but doesn’t add the stress of a timer. Uses numbers but doesn’t require math! Really fun and addictive. ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-09-19* Really like this game for passing time! ### 5/5 — Big 9 is fun *2020-02-01* I love I love ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2019-07-19* Another winner from Boy Howdy. It seems easy, but there is quire a lot of strategy involved. My best hint, be sure to check the next number before you combine a sequence. Play it awhile, you will see what I mean. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2019-02-08* It took me a little while to figure out my strategies, but I’m beginning to really enjoy this game. ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2018-04-17, version 1.13* Love this it's so addictive just 2 things though the number 1 seems to appear much more than the other numbers & the advert below is so sensitive the slightest touch by accident & your game is interrupted which is very frustrating but well done on your games very impressed & free too !! ### 5/5 — Big 9 *2018-01-29, version 1.13* I enjoy this whilst having my morning pot of tea in cafe. You have to be watching what comes out next. You get complacent and just as you get to a very high score you muck it up. You just want to get even higher next time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
