Capitals *2026-08-22, version 5.0.5* HELENA is the capital of Montane —- not BUTTE ### 4/5 — Showcase pack *2026-04-09, version 5.0.5* Good variety of subjects. ### 4/5 — Jigsaw pack *2026-03-20, version 5.0.5* Jigsaw puzzles are always fun. I do wish it didn’t take 100 points to show the borders, though. ### 4/5 — Actually 4.5 Stars *2026-03-11, version 5.0.5* I am really enjoying this game. Makes me think. My only disappointment is that I have Bonza and Bonza Planet and have found some duplicate puzzles. Other than that, I love the game. Some puzzles are very easy but most take some effort. ### 2/5 — Ads too long and too frequent *2025-12-07, version 5.0.5* I spend more time looking at ads for things I don’t want than I spend playing. ### 2/5 — Making me pay again to remove ads *2025-10-17, version 5.0.5* Several years ago I purchased the Remove Ads option. The ads are back and it wants me to pay again. Restore purchases doesn’t fix it and the Support link is broken. ### 4/5 — Good but *2025-04-03, version 5.0.5* If being played in English speaking country maybe stick to English. Didn’t sign up for a history lesson, want to play a word puzzle. Without above items it is a good game. Ads are long and tedious, several closings. I wonder if these companies realize their truly annoying ads have the reverse effect? ### 5/5 — A game that is simple yet makes you think *2025-03-25, version 5.0.5* The format is simple, easy to understand, yet not so much so you get bored. Some of the puzzles are quite challenging as your eyes won’t see the full words. Good one to play when you are waiting somewhere as you can close it without losing anything. Well worth $5 ### 5/5 — Very Cool *2025-03-22, version 5.0.5* Good times! Some easy… some not easy, but always fun. ### 4/5 — Interesting word games *2025-02-10, version 5.0.5* Often challenging, need to remember US spellings ### 5/5 — Stimulating *2025-01-19, version 5.0.5* Makes you think ### 4/5 — An Australia puzzle word was kiwi! *2025-01-16, version 5.0.5* Need to allow that most puzzles are American spelling and content. ### 4/5 — Too many adverts *2025-01-06* Start off ok then costs more, than original, to remove ads ### 3/5 — Too many adverts *2024-11-11* Start off ok then costs more, than original, to remove ads ### 2/5 — Trouble loading *2024-11-04, version 5.0.5* This would be a five star game except for the fact that it so frequently refuses to open! Not a problem with my Ipad. I have never had this problem with another Bonza game app. Ball’s in your court guys. Please fix! Still does not want to open! No response from anyone! Disappointing! ### 4/5 — Update *2024-09-27, version 5.0.5* How do I get rid of the new “blinking hint” in the word building ? I prefer to fund my own solutions. ### 2/5 — New update kills the game! *2024-08-26, version 5.0.3* Just did the update for Bonza jigsaw and now I cannot open the game. All prior rewards are now lost. I will not be updating any of my other Bonza games because of this as I will lose years of playing rewards. ### 5/5 — Challenging game *2024-07-25, version 4.6.7* This game challenges my thought processes and gives me environmental information at the same time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poulet à l'orange . *2025-06-05, version 5.0.5* This game was once very good, but it has become US centric. A bit like the orange chicken, poulet à l'orange . ### 1/5 — Will Not Open *2024-08-21, version 5.0.3* This app is apparently compatible with my phone (iPhone running 15.8.3), but the app will not open. I’m very unhappy about this since it was working fine until a recent update. ### 1/5 — Ads are out of control *2024-06-27, version 4.6.7* I’ve been playing Bonza Planet almost daily since it first launched. I usually don’t mind watching a short ad if I need a hint to help solve a puzzle. However, I’m getting tired of having to watch 30 second ads that require multiple clicks to return to the game. Recently, I’ve started to be shown ads that hijack the app and cannot be dismissed forcing me to quit and restart the app. The ad experience significantly detracts from the app making Bonza Planet a chore rather than a pleasure. As a result, if an ad is longer that 10-15 seconds, I will quit Bonza Planet and play a different puzzle app that provides a more enjoyable user experience. ### 1/5 — Puzzle : Canadian Capital Cities *2024-06-13, version 4.6.7* This puzzle contained a GLARING ERROR! Vancouver is NOT the capital of British Columbia, Victoria is. Puzzles should be double checked to ensure they do not contain errors. ### 1/5 — Français *2024-05-30, version 4.6.7* Comment mettre ce beau jeu en français? ### 1/5 — Bonza planet *2024-03-07, version 4.6.7* Too expensive, clues 60, to complete 5, how is that realistic? ### 1/5 — Reshuffle Missing!!! *2023-06-21, version 4.6.7* Return the Reshuffle option on the free daily games!!! Annoying the option has completely disappeared!!! ### 1/5 — Endless loop of ads *2023-05-20, version 4.6.7* If you request a hint on your iPad, you find yourself in ads that have no exit. Makes the puzzle unplayable! ### 1/5 — Unhappy 🙁 *2023-05-16, version 4.6.0* I purchased coins to use for hints. Now I have to watch an ad to use the hints, therefore making the my purchase a waste of money! I used to love this game but now I would just like my money back! ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2023-05-14, version 4.6.0* The latest update bugs you with many more unnecessary ads, and worse, they require 3 or 4 taps and yet more waiting before they go away. One 30 second ad that goes away after 1 click is ok, but that's not. Uninstalled. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Puzzles *2026-06-21, version 5.0.5* Love it, just when you think you have it right it’s not quite accurate ### 5/5 — Science *2025-11-29, version 5.0.5* Science is always interesting and educational. More of this, please. ### 5/5 — Bonza planet word and picture puzzles *2025-10-07, version 5.0.5* An excellent distraction while sitting in the hospital emergency room while they test me for toxins, etc. ### 5/5 — Really fun game *2025-09-10, version 5.0.5* I just downloaded this game and played the first pack, it was lot of challenging amusement. I thought it is a really good game. ### 5/5 — Bonza Bonanza *2025-09-09, version 5.0.5* I thought the original Bonza was addictive fun but who knew they could come up with something even better! Now how am I supposed to do anything else? This is too much fun! No doubt wowsers and wet blankets will try to make this game illegal. Enjoy the mini-jigsaws too. Years later, after a hiatus, I’m back having even more fun putting my neurons to work. Solving those tricky ones gives immense satisfaction. ### 5/5 — Bobby 1 *2025-08-25, version 5.0.5* Haven't tried this yet , just wanted to say thank you to the reviews of people who have ..I have been disappointed a few times and always look at the reviews..

It really is Bonza ( great in Aus speak ) I am 81 and want games that feed the brain ..Thankyou 🌟 ### 5/5 — Muy bueno!! *2025-07-04, version 5.0.5* Entretenido ### 5/5 — Travel Puzzle pack *2025-05-22, version 5.0.5* I don’t travel much, so this was informative (and challenging!). ### 5/5 — Great find *2025-04-19, version 5.0.5* I found this to be very addictive. PS it does work on my MacBook air M4. ### 5/5 — Only playing jigsaw *2025-04-12, version 5.0.5* I want jigsaw daily! You have the best jigsaw around, but you so slow.
