### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2026-01-28, version 1.2*

My app seems to be in dark mode like the background is black dose anyone know how to help

### 4/5 — Era uno dei miei giochi preferiti

*2025-03-17, version 1.0.1*

… e mi piace ancora. Grazie per aver reso disponibili tutti questi giochi gratuitamente e senza ads. Graziose anche le varie icone.

### 3/5 — Proposition

*2025-03-05, version 1.0.1*

Pour améliorer l’expérience de jeu, il serait bon de pouvoir placer les couleurs dans un ordre aléatoire, et pas obligatoirement de gauche à droite, et d’avoir un bouton pour lancer l’analyse au lieu qu’elle soit faite lors de la position de la 4ème couleur.
Comme on peut le faire avec le vrai jeu quoi.

### 4/5 — Mastermind pure !

*2025-02-20, version 1.0.1*

Le jeu est simple et ultra fonctionnelle, pas de fioritures ou de pubs, juste ce que je demande pour quelques petites parties rapides, merci au développeur !

Quelques petites améliorations ? 

- la possibilité de placer les billes de couleur dans l’ordre et à l’endroit qu’on veut : commencer par mettre une rouge en 3e position par exemple (sans avoir à placer les 2 premières)

- quelques statistiques ? Parties gagnées / nombre de parties jouées 

Merci pour cette application !

### 5/5 — Great app. NO ADS

*2023-04-26, version 1.0.1*

My only reservation is you can’t play with two players. The board game I’m used to has 10 rows but I don’t find I ever need 10 so I’m fine with 8.

### 4/5 — great design

*2023-03-17, version 1.0.1*

I do love how this game looks, although I agree with the other reviews about making it more multiplayer rather than playing a bot. also I wish the colors could be used multiple times instead of just once, to make it more challenging. I got bored of this game after ten minutes of playing because I’d guess the pattern in 5 or less tries.

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel!

*2023-02-23, version 1.0.1*

Das Spiel macht Spaß und ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet. Keine Werbung, das ist klasse. Daher volle 5 Sterne. 

Ein Dark Mode wäre noch toll.

### 5/5 — This is what apps used to be

*2023-01-06*

It’s the game of Mastermind, and you’re not constantly interrupted by ads. In fact, you are never interrupted by ads. You get to play the game. Could it have more features and thus be better? Yes, but I would rather use this than use a game with more features but be interrupted to hit the smallest “close ad” button possible.

### 4/5 — Clean elegant implementation

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

A simple but well executed game that entertains and develops logic skills. Sometimes a cover can be better than the original in music and the same applies to games.

### 5/5 — Fun, clean interface, no user data tracking!

*2022-09-14, version 1.0.1*

I really appreciate the developer’s commitment to making this straightforward version of the classic Mastermind game. Clean UI. Fun gameplay. Just what I was looking. And thank you for no tracking of user data etc.

### 2/5 — Mastermind

*2022-08-13, version 1.0.1*

Mastermind so ye it’s got no adverts ye it’s just like the real thing but when I got a colour in the wrong place it told me the colour wasn’t there and that confused me and so here I am writing this review about a crappy app.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2022-07-27, version 1.0.1*

I like this!
Would love to be able to guess the same color, but overall this is an awesome game!

### 4/5 — simple but good

*2022-07-15, version 1.0.1*

gets boring lol but there are no ads and you don’t have to pay for anything so i like it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Way too basic

*2026-04-29, version 1.2*

No instructions, almost no options- yuck!

### 1/5 — Incomplete experience

*2025-08-16, version 1.1*

Can’t have doubles so it really limit the gameplay and the fun. Tried once and deleted right away.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-11-22, version 1.0.1*

Tried it once. It marks your score without confirming your selection!! Then won’t let you select two colour purples or select how hard or easy - deleted app

### 1/5 — 😂

*2024-10-04, version 1.0.1*

Nul ne fonctionne pas 🤷🏻‍♂️ les points change d'avis a chaque ligne🤣🤣🤣🤮, et ta rien compris crétin de dev

### 1/5 — Random?

*2022-04-19, version 1.0.1*

Thought it was fun until I realized the first guess ALWAYS has two or three correct colors but never in the correct position. Seriously? There’s no chance of getting one right on the first guess? Once I noticed that, it wasn’t fun anymore.

### 1/5 — Author obviously never played mastermind!

*2022-03-06, version 1.0.1*

Everyone who has ever played mastermind knows that to guarantee a win in 5 or under attempts requires you to be able to double up the colours. You MUST be able to place a colour more than once. By omitting this simple but necessary requirement the author has turned what was a game of logical analysis and deduction to one of nothing more than chance!

### 1/5 — Devs, Please read

*2021-12-28, version 1.0.1*

This is so stupid, I just started playing “MasterMind” IRL, and in this version I can’t use the same color twice or more, which ruins my whole strategy, and there is no options menu, just the stupid game itself. If there were an options menu that could allow repeating guesses/colors I would totally rate 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Colors can only be guessed once per turn, which negates the whole strategy of the game

*2025-10-02, version 1.1*

Otherwise, I’m a fan of the simple aesthetic!

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2024-02-15, version 1.0.1*

I understand what needs to be done. I don’t understand how I can go from having 3 in the right spot and the 4th not being there to simply replacing the 4th and then none of the colors are in the right spot. This game makes 0 sense. Anyone saying this game is good is just feeling the creator get more people to download this game.

### 2/5 — Different than real game

*2022-12-31, version 1.0.1*

It’s worse that you can only enter left to right and have no time/ choice to submit your guess. -It’s not bad that there’s 6 colors that don’t include black or white. - But should be able to use a color more than once.  -I’m deleting for a different version of master mind that is like the real one.

### 5/5 — Simple and addictive

*2026-05-30, version 1.2*

I enjoy trying to solve the puzzles in as few guesses as possible. Makes me slow down and think. No ads, no data collection, nothing to "unlock" - just simple logic puzzle fun!

### 5/5 — great app

*2025-11-22, version 1.1*

thanks for keeping it simple and free and super small in size.

### 5/5 — A favorite

*2025-10-28, version 1.1*

There are no ads, no pop-ups, no clutter, no spying. He even switched to a dark background so that you don’t blind yourself at night. I had to go with a 4 or 5 — a 4 because there aren’t any options to make it more intricate, difficult, or personal; a 5 because it does exactly what it is supposed to and doesn’t taint it. It’s a tiny app with classic fun and no baggage.

### 5/5 — A Perfect Gem – Simple, Clean, and Generous

*2025-06-02, version 1.0.1*

This game is exactly what the App Store needs more of. Mastermind is beautifully simple, with a clean and intuitive design that makes it a joy to play. There are no ads, no in-app purchases—just pure gameplay. I honestly would pay for it to support the developer, because it’s clear this was made with thoughtfulness and care. A truly kind genius created this, and I’m so grateful for it. I’m off to see if this developer has made more games—fingers crossed, because I’d download them in a heartbeat!

### 5/5 — Dark Mode ?

*2025-02-13, version 1.0.1*

Why not try a dark mode version! ?Your app is Great !

### 5/5 — Amazing Game!

*2025-01-26, version 1.0.1*

I’ll keep it short and sweet.

1. The game is 100% ad-free.
2. You never have to pay.
3. It’s the same Mastermind that we know and love.
4. It takes up close to no storage.
5. No WiFi needed.

———

There’s only one thing I want to change. I want to be able to move the location of pegs, so I can lock in a choice.

Other than that, amazing game.

### 5/5 — Bien mais pour jouer seul

*2024-08-19, version 1.0.1*

La combinaison est choisie par le téléphone. Ce n’est pas gênant, mais je cherchais une solution portable pour jouer à deux.

Graphisme simple 
Application efficace.
Pas de pub.
Pas d’achat 

Rien à redire :) bravo

### 5/5 — PERFECT!

*2024-04-13, version 1.0.1*

Nothing extra, no ads, no intro, just absolute perfection !

### 5/5 — Génial!

*2024-03-13, version 1.0.1*

Le design est épuré, il n’y a aucune pub et le jeu est tout aussi "simple" (et non pas facile!) que l’original, il n’y a rien à redire 😌

### 5/5 — Perfect puzzle without fuss

*2024-02-25, version 1.0.1*

Perfect app. It's just the game without anything extra to worry about. No lives, teams, unlockables, etc. If you want a simple puzzle game, this app is great.
