### 2/5 — Data tracking, Spam, ads, hot phone

*2025-12-29*

The game is fun. But my phone gets very hot when playing. Additionally everytime I play I get massive Spam attacks in my email. This app seems dangerous to use. I was ignoring the potential risk for a while, but it's so obvious it seems crazy to continue.

It's disappointing because I like the game. I would pay for it if privacy was guaranteed in  a verifiable way.

### 4/5 — It's great

*2025-06-04, version 1.2.1*

Umm (￣ヘ￣）needs more players get this game

### 2/5 — Eats battery life

*2025-06-03*

I really liked this game. Played it for a couple days and discovered it used up so much battery life in the background.  I had to charge my phone several times throughout the day.  Had to delete the game off my phone.

### 3/5 — Hot phone

*2025-02-12, version 1.2*

Good game but phone gets so hot

### 3/5 — Ads Block Pieces

*2025-02-11, version 1.2*

Is a great game except that the ads block the bottom row of pieces!

### 3/5 — Scaling Blokus Online

*2025-02-02*

I tried to send the developer team an email and it got bounced back. I want to help scale up Blokus Online! Please reach out

### 3/5 — Ruined by ad placement

*2025-01-14*

Enjoy the game, can’t play it now because the ad banner across the bottom blocks my pieces and the pass/new game button

### 4/5 — Help needed

*2024-12-11*

This seems silly, but I can’t figure out, once I’ve placed my first piece, how to make it move on to the AI’s turn. The only button option is pass. What do I need to do to get going in the game? Thanks

### 1/5 — The worst game ever

*2024-07-20*

The ai was cheating and took my pieces and you can only move in 1 direction and sometimes you can’t even connect to the corners. Very disappointed. 1 star

### 3/5 — Love the game! But…

*2024-06-08*

Love the game but sometimes the ads cover the pieces and the game is unplayable. If you close the app sometimes it will reset and work again! I understand the need for ads but just seems like a glitch that can be fixed! Thank you!

**Developer response:** We will try to remove the ads soon in the future version.

### 1/5 — 広告が邪魔でプレイできない

*2024-06-08, version 1.2*

自分のブロックが広告で隠れてやりにくい。またpass、next gameの選択すら広告によって隠され選択できない

### 3/5 — Blokus

*2024-04-12*

Great game but I don’t like the fact that it automatically bumps you to the next level with AI. At some point (for me anyway), you just can’t win two in a row. It should be optional or you should be able to go back down a level and practice it more. Former software quality control analyst. Other than that I’d give it a five star.

### 1/5 — Ads cover content

*2024-03-06*

Good game, but after a while the ads cover the “Pass” button at the bottom of the page, making the game completely unplayable.

**Developer response:** Hi thanks for the feedback! Could you provide more details to help us to reproduce the bug? For example, what is the iPhone model and OS version? 
We will fix it!

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.2*

Limited directions.  Just want to practice to learn.

### 1/5 — AI mode doesn't work

*2026-01-18, version 1.2.2*

I tried playing my first game and I copied AI exactly but it doesn't let you finish your play. Only lets you pass.

### 1/5 — Great game but…

*2026-01-04*

If it didn’t turn you phone to a hand warmer and kill the battery with 30 minutes of playing, would be one of the best games out there! It’s doesn’t make sense that placing blocks over clocks your phone

### 1/5 — No way to end your turn

*2025-12-29*

Love this game in real life so was really excited about the app. However, after you lay your piece down there is no way to end your turn so it moves to the next person. You can only pass which means you can’t make a move. Really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Can’t start a game

*2025-08-09*

Iphone 16 with ios 18.5. I can play one piece and there is no way to end my turn so that AI will know to play. I guess I won’t be playing this.

### 1/5 — 広告邪魔

*2025-07-07, version 1.2.1*

iPhoneSE、広告邪魔すぎてロクにプレイできない

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2025-01-18*

I can’t even start the game. When I’m playing with AI, I put my first piece down and there is no option to let them know that I’m done.

### 1/5 — Not going well

*2024-12-27*

Hard to start. Hard to invite friend. Can’t figure out turns. Can’t click anything. I’m deleting it.

### 1/5 — No clue on how to finish your turn

*2024-12-17, version 1.2*

Once you place your piece on the board, there is no explanation on how to end your turn. Looks like it could be fun.

### 1/5 — Thumbs down

*2024-11-29, version 1.2*

This game is a cheat

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great problem solving game!

*2026-02-06*

Love it. Basic, love the simplicty. Though I’ve gotten to a point where I can no longer beat the computer darn : /

### 5/5 — Blokus games

*2025-11-15*

This game is fun , but I also have the board game Blokus. What should I do?

### 5/5 — Easy to use fun to play.

*2025-09-02, version 1.2.2*

AI is very good

### 5/5 — Levels???

*2024-07-27*

My new favorite game. I’ve made it to level 21 so far and wish I knew how many levels there are?

**Developer response:** You are doing great! Very few people can make over 20 levels.
In theory there is unlimited levels, every level, the AI will compute longer to explore more depth, and run slower.
But in the future, we hope to bring more game modes and plays to make it more interesting.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-04-22*

Fun game that makes you think fat ahead

### 5/5 — 良い

*2024-04-12, version 1.2*

使いやすい！面白い！

### 5/5 — Weak instructions

*2024-02-23*

I can’t figure out how to end my turn except by passing.

**Developer response:** Hi thanks for the feedback! Could you provide more details for us to reproduce the bug? The iPhone model and OS version, and what is the scenario? 
There is a known bug from Apple Game Center server that sometimes the network communication will be lost, thus no one can end the game, both players have to pass one by one.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-01-01*

Similar to board game. Just what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Blokus

*2023-12-29*

I really enjoy playing this game on downtime. Blokus XL is what started me on this game. I’d really like to see Blokus XL converted into an app! For now, this game will keep me entertained. I’m just so grateful a form of Blokus already existed! Thank you creators! No glitches, no problems. It is a pretty straightforward game. I didn’t appreciate the ads, however, I know that most apps are doing this now a days.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thanks for letting us know your thoughts! We are glad it’s useful for you and we will keep making it better. If Blokus XL means the original version of 4 players starting from 4 corners with a bigger board. Then yes, we have plan to support different variations too. 
For ads, it’s hard for us to keep working on it without any incentives, but we’d like to make sure that ads is less intrusive than other free games so it does not bother users that much. Also, we are thinking about some paid tier to remove ads too.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-11-03, version 1.1.0*

Fun
