### 3/5 — Horrible customer service

*2026-06-26*

The customer service is poor.
I’ve been tryin to get help for over a month and not even a response. The boards don’t keep their games when another game is upload to a different board. I still have yet to get a response from anyone from customer support.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-02-20*

I bought it and I only used it for one day then deleted it and cancelled the subscription then 3 days later it says that £39.99 has been taken out of card.This is a scam.

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2026-02-03*

Cannot move between different boards.

### 1/5 — Ugly board

*2026-01-08, version 3.2.9*

No one wants pink,gold,red etc. squares

### 1/5 — Stopped working altogether on iOS 26.2

*2025-12-22, version 3.2.9*

Update: 12/2025 paid for pro version and now the app opens to a white background and nothing else. I have deleted it and reinstalled, but it stopped working as of December '25

The different boards don't work. When I switch them, they just replace with whichever one I update last. Another bug is when I drag pieces on the board they duplicate out of place where you can drag them from and then some become not selectable anymore. Otherwise it works fairly well.
