### 2/5 — So hard once you get to 11

*2022-04-27, version 2.1*

It just keeps going up in numbers to memorize.. it’s not really helping memory when it doesn’t reward you with starting over each day.

### 3/5 — Where is the landscape mode?

*2021-12-08, version 2.1*

First off, I expected a different game. I was under the impression, that you could somehow visually or graphically build or construct palaces. The art looked nice enough.

Second, and most important, another reviewer asked for landscape mode among other things and the developer answered that all his points were fixed in the latest update. 

But there is NO LANDSCAPE mode and I hate to use my iPad upright.

For what it is, the game is nicely done.  I only won‘t be using it much because of the portrait issue.

### 5/5 — Super geil

*2020-12-20*

Eine gute App, um zu trainieren. Habe bei einem Experiment in der Schule gemerkt, wie sehr sie mir geholfen hat. Und das neue Update macht das sortieren angenehmer. Eine Kaufempfehlung!

### 5/5 — BYP

*2020-12-12, version 1.71*

Well done

### 2/5 — Update is a step back

*2020-08-23, version 1.71*

Great game, with a lot of replay value and beautiful in simplicity, but as another review said, the update was a big downgrade for the icon selection part of the game.

Please add an option to toggle the old style, where you select icons from all the available ones, not just the ones that were shown. Making sure to memorize the correct icons, and not confuse them with similar looking ones was a very enjoyable part of the game before. This was taken away with the update.

Similarly, the removal of the “confirm” button takes away the need to commit to your choices, another fun part of the game before.

Lastly, selecting icons is less convenient post-update due the icons being smaller.

Please give players an option to enjoy the game as it was previously! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2020-06-18, version 1.71*

this is amazing app looking forward for more updates and added features.

### 2/5 — Latest update flawed

*2020-03-25*

First of all, it reset my progress and secondly, the icons are now so tiny!

Drag and drop makes it easier than selection from a sheet plus there is a night (dark) mode. Not entirely awful then!

**Developer response:** With the new update all problems are solved! Download Build Your Palace 2.0
I would be very happy about a new rating

### 2/5 — Maybe landscape mode?

*2020-03-05, version 1.71*

The game is ok. The text and icons on the iPhone are so small that it would be nice to use it in a landscape view. Super generic as far as play goes, needs animation and a better way to review what you have completed before you move on to the next “palace.”

### 3/5 — Schlechter geworden

*2020-01-01*

Meiner Meinung nach ist es durch das Anordnen schlechter geworden. Das makieren durch Zahlen war viel besser. Wäre schön, wenn man das selber in den Einstellungen entscheiden könnte. Deshalb nur 3 Sterne, weil es mir den Spaß nimmt immer die Bildchen hin-und herziehen zu müssen.

**Developer response:** With the new update all problems are solved! Download Build Your Palace 2.0
I would be very happy about a new rating

### 2/5 — Deleted after update

*2019-12-25, version 1.71*

I loved this game so much but when I opened it and there was an update it all went downhill. Instead of having to remember which ones you saw mixed with decoys and click them in order you know only see the ones that were showed. I’m always having to fix it because when I move an icon it lands in the wrong place 90% of the time. Also there’s no “finished” button so unlike before, you could rearrange until you got it right there is no real risk of getting it wrong here...honestly I deleted it after this update.

### 4/5 — Hopefully fixed

*2019-12-03, version 1.71*

Okay, the developer responded; I reinstalled and was able to get my progress back and adjusted my rating.  As for instability, I haven't had further problems running on XS Max.  Aside from that it is a fun and rather addictive game.  Happy building!

### 5/5 — Bad App (re-review)

*2019-11-03, version 1.6*

This app won’t load at all. I have updated my phone and it still doesn’t work. 
Waste of money. I don’t recommend this at all

Update: 

The developer has since updated the app and the graphics are well worth your time and money. It’s very useful and I thoroughly enjoy this app now. 
Very happy that they listened to my review!! Kudos to you guys :) love this game

### 3/5 — Great game but one fatal flaw

*2019-11-02*

Beautiful and fun game but... If you get it wrong then you can’t see WHERE you’ve gone wrong! You just have to try again instead of first resolving how you erred. Super annoying!

### 4/5 — Not really a memory palace but good nonetheless

*2019-10-29, version 1.71*

The name is misleading, as the app really has little to do with the memory palace technique. However, it is an excellent training app for the story method (a.k.a. The mnemonic link system), which is technique that is often used inside a memory palace but it stands on its own.

### 2/5 — Crasht unter iOS 13.1.2...

*2019-10-01*

Keine Möglichkeit, das Spiel zu starten, da es sich unter iOS 13.1.2 nach dem Start sofort wieder schließt. Sehr schade!

**Developer response:** Moin, hast du schon das neue Update installiert? Jetzt läuft wieder alles flüssig! Wäre Super wenn du deine Bewertung an das neue Update anpassen könntest. Vielen Dank und bei weiteren Störungen schreib uns gerne eine Support Mail.

돈낭비 하기싫으면 사지마세요

**Developer response:** 어떤 주장으로?

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-11-03, version 1.71*

All this game does is crash. I cannot even get it fully opened

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-10-16, version 1.6*

Upon buying the game and downloading it there were immediate bugs not even allowing me to play the game. Feel completely ripped off. Game won’t even begin.

### 1/5 — Programm stürzt ab

*2019-10-12*

Heimdürfte ersten Berührung bricht das Programm ab. IOS 13.1.2 macht‘s möglich. .....oder halt nicht

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing after recent ios update

*2019-09-29*

I get to the title page, and then it crashes when I tap the screen. I’ve reinstalled the app and also rebooted ipad.

### 1/5 — Keine iPhone X Display Support

*2018-07-25*

An sich ein gutes Spiel aber leider nicht für das Display des iPhone X angepasst. Der fehlende Support für ein aktuelles top Smartphone ist mehr als Enttäuschend

**Developer response:** Mit dem neuen Update sind alle Probleme gelöst! Lade Build Your Palace 2.0 
Über eine neue Bewertung würde ich mich sehr freuen

### 1/5 — Game does not work

*2016-11-23, version 1.2*

Don't buy!!! The game was updating and stop and now the app is grayed out and show the word "Waiting." I wish Apple would tell the developer to fix this error. Don't buy

### 1/5 — Worse App EVER!!! DO NOT GET!!

*2016-09-29, version 1.2*

I have had the same problem others have had except I was never able to get to open to play once. If I tell it to open it gets stuck on waiting. It won't let me delete it either. I would love for someone to post a review how to get rid of it!!!!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-09-13, version 1.2*

I have never been able to open this app. After I downloaded it it had an update available. The update never fully completed, and it has been "waiting" ever since. Now I cannot delete it. Very frustrating!

### 5/5 — Top Design

*2023-05-23*

Liebevoll animiert - nach ein paar Levels herausfordernd.  Klasse!

### 5/5 — Great Memory tool.

*2022-06-14, version 2.1*

For those who do are aware what a memory Palace is, this has been a major help in improving my memory. My go to App! It provided me with images of things to remember so I didn’t have to waist time trying to find images myself, so I was able to get right into just remembering and improving my memory. Totally recommend. Only sad that it finished at 51 I was hoping to go to 100.  And thank you pascal for going out of you way when contacted to fix the problem on the app.

### 5/5 — 조아요

*2021-10-25, version 2.1*

Simple but great app specifically for practicing the memory palace memorization technique

### 5/5 — GP from BC

*2021-02-16*

Thanks for these improvements. 
Your efforts are much appreciated!
Artwork is great, and the new way to solve works very well. 
Completed level 50.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much, that means a lot to me!

### 5/5 — Fun art work

*2021-02-02, version 2.1*

Tough, but fun.  The art work is great.

### 5/5 — Bestes Update! Design 6 Sterne

*2020-12-30*

Anspruchsvolle App mit einem für den Entwickler anscheinend (?!) in die Wiege gelegtem klasse Design. Erfüllt auf jeden Fall meine U6-Fahrten mit Freude. Berlin dankt!

### 5/5 — Mega Game mit schönem Design

*2020-12-20*

Habe das Spiel von einem Arbeitskollegen empfohlen bekommen und war zunächst skeptisch. Aber schon nach den ersten Minuten hat es mich gepackt und mittlerweile nutze ich es täglich um bisschen abzuschalten und erfreue mich dabei auch immer am anspruchsvollem Design. Super Game! Bitte mehr davon!

### 5/5 — Tolle App! Wirklich eine Freude dieses Spiel zu spielen!

*2020-12-20*

Mega App! Hat mich unglaublich überrascht! Toll programmiert und absoluter Augenschmaus!
