### 1/5 — Good app until lvl 4

*2025-03-25*

I think it’s supposed to be 20 like all the other levels, but somehow instead it’s 120. 120 correct answers in 60s would be 2 per second arguably  impossible just to pass to the next level. Would like to give 5 starts once this is fixed

**Developer response:** Hey Timothaytoday, You can go to settings and unlock all levels (this way you can play level 5.) I hope this helps! 
The level 4 has pass score of 120 since you only require one tap to get the right answer (versus multiple taps in other levels.)

### 4/5 — Guess the color buttons spread apart

*2025-03-13, version 1.2*

Grat app. Helps a lot. I only have one issue with the buttons spreading apart in chapter 4, when the timer gets close to an end. The buttons just slowly slide outside of the screen. I hope it’s a bug and not a feature lol

### 3/5 — Bad ux on small screen devices

*2025-03-06*

Some of buttons are displaying halfly for me (se 2020)

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2024-11-09*

When I am playing the Guess the Colour level, occasionally it spasms, such that when I get a guess right, it zooms in, and when I get a guess wrong, it zooms out. Additionally, when in app volume is off, it still stops my music each time I start a new round.

Minor bugs, but overall - loving the app.

Cheers

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-10-18*

I really appreciate that it randomizes the locations for the letter/number buttons. I feel like practicing other ways I just reinforce the order of the letters, not the the relation between the letter and a specific square. It would be great to have a way to randomize the order between practice sessions.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback ShannonsEntropy, I will add this as part of a future update. If you have any other feedback/suggestions feel free to email me at romir.patney@gmail.com.
Best, Romir

### 5/5 — Great start! Love the app!

*2024-10-03, version 1.0*

I am beginner but this app has been really useful so far. I like lessons but wish take backs are added in the next update!
