Please fix ### 4/5 — Fun game *2026-03-20, version 2.3* Often freezes for no reason. ### 2/5 — Kinda lame *2026-03-03, version 2.3* I’m doing well. But now I have to start back at level one I get all the way back up to level 12 and I have to go back to level one every time. That’s dumb. Send me back to level five send me back to level 10 but level one every single time that’s dumb. ### 2/5 — Great game *2025-12-15, version 2.3* Great game but crashes around level 5, must get a fix, otherwise fun to play ### 2/5 — Great game spoilt by frequent freezes *2025-10-05, version 2.3* This could be a great game. When it works, I love it. But all too often it freezes, just completely stops, just the music plays on and there is no way to get it back. It’s happened to me 20+ times now and when you’ve got a really good score and plenty of lives left, and it freezes, it’s just too frustrating. Reluctantly removing this game now. Such a shame. iPad Air 5 M1 cpu. ### 4/5 — Bix Fix. *2025-06-30, version 2.3* Great game very similar to Qix. This needs a killswitch if a ball gets hung. That way you don’t lose all your progress ### 4/5 — Could be great, but.. *2025-04-21, version 2.3* I do a lot of work and it freezes repeatedly and I have to start over ### 2/5 — Qix returns!! *2025-02-04, version 2.3* Love the game. But it crashes. The pattern I see is when you are running very closely parallel with another line and have to twitch over slightly to join it. I notice it more on higher levels, but that might be because I’m more frustrated to lose a high score. ### 2/5 — Si blocca *2024-12-13, version 2.3* Si blocca in continuazione ### 4/5 — Could be great, but *2024-12-06, version 2.3* This was my all time favorite game in the 80’s growing up when it was called QIX. This is a nice copy and the challenges get harder as you go along. However the screen control is glitchy and not precise. If you can get this MUCH MORE precise it would be great. I have many time seen where my line has been complete by 1/4 to 1/8” and the ball still knocks me out. This is very frustrating. I have also noticed on occasion that when you trap balls and then complete a section the ball does not go away it reappears in a different spot on the game board, this should be fixed. I was pleased to find this and hope you can look into those defects. ### 4/5 — Great game - Needs os update *2024-11-30, version 2.3* My favorite app of all time. Unfortunately, with the newest iOS, the game does not work very well after about level 20. I hope it’s updated. I like this better than the newer version. ### 4/5 — For GenX lovers of QIX! *2024-10-14, version 2.3* I find this game very relaxing and it reminds me of QIX from the early 80s. Figuring out the best strategy is fun. I only wish the developers would invest some time to fix the glitch that ends up freezing the game which happens all too frequently… maybe one in 7 games?!? Otherwise, a sweet video game! ### 3/5 — Fun game, but crashes often *2024-08-10, version 2.3* I enjoy the game. The best substitute for Jezzball I have seen, but the game crashes so often that it’s frustrating to play. PLEASE FIX THE GAME. ### 4/5 — Crashes randomly *2023-11-21, version 2.3* I love this game, but at least 1/3 of the time, it crashes for no discernible reason. I’m playing in iPad, auto-update for at least a year and the situation continues to occur. ### 4/5 — Great, low adds but freezes randomly *2023-10-22, version 2.3* I enjoy the game but it regularly freezes in the 60’s or 70’s% ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beware of “no ads” *2026-02-26, version 2.3* Fun game, but paying to remove ads doesn’t work and you won’t get a refund. ### 1/5 — Glitchy! *2026-02-23, version 2.3* I used to play this game quite frequently. I found myself using the challenge version, but went back to this version recently. After a couple of levels, it runs very choppy and is annoying to play. Not sure if anyone would update this older app, but it’s not worth playing unless they do. ### 1/5 — Quickly insisting on payment *2026-01-05, version 2.3* Not that good ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-12-19, version 2.3* Fun but crashes ### 1/5 — あ *2025-11-01, version 2.3* ステージ13あたりからフリーズして先に進めない ### 1/5 — ラグい *2025-02-19, version 2.3* 段々とラグくなってできない ### 1/5 — Freezes *2024-03-22, version 2.3* It freezes between level 5-8, can’t get passed level 8 without it shutting down ### 1/5 — Freezes *2023-12-08, version 2.3* You get to a 50+ level, and it freezes. You can’t get back and lose every point. ### 1/5 — Used to be good…. *2022-05-19, version 2.3* …to the point that I paid to stop ads, but now it freezes with monotonous regularity. ### 1/5 — Fun to begin with, but basically broken *2022-01-27, version 2.3* This is a good, quick simple game. I enjoyed it and started playing it in idle moments to wean me off social media. Unfortunately, I started to notice that (as others have mentioned), the control system doesn’t always work. This means you can die or screw up because the game hasn’t responded to your swipe. This is frustrating enough that I’ve stopped playing and regret paying to stop ads. The collision detection also sometimes seems inaccurate, which is similarly frustrating. (Sometimes you die even though you’ve narrowly missed a ball). It’s a shame, as this could be decent. I hope the developer can somehow fix things so that future players can enjoy it properly. Me - I’m done. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-27, version 2.3* This is literally my favorite iPhone game. It’s a gem that holds up year after year. Try to beat Dub of Man! ### 5/5 — Best game for retro gamers that are on iOS 9 *2026-04-22, version 2.3* It’s that good! ### 5/5 — More levels please *2025-12-10, version 2.3* Great game but please make more levels. ### 5/5 — Not a huge ad thing so far *2025-02-21, version 2.3* Fun little game, keeps you engaged and I haven't seen an ad yet. You just get to play ! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2024-12-20, version 2.3* Just like the arcade version. Fun and frustrating ### 5/5 — QIX friend *2024-08-06, version 2.3* A good game but not quite as satisfying as the old arcade QIX machine. I can’t find that original game anywhere. ### 5/5 — Bix/QIX Excellence *2023-12-16, version 2.3* So relaxing so calming just get into a flow n go though a updated uptodate GALSPANIC would most certainly be worthy of a come back at this point in the global internet sensation would be a gr8 competition game ### 5/5 — Süper uygulama *2022-12-20, version 2.3* Reklamsız süper ama süper bi uygulama ### 5/5 — My must-have game on every Iphone till date *2022-07-01, version 2.3* Period ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-02-27, version 2.3* Turn it on its side and it’s the same as the one on Apple TV --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
