### 5/5 — Easy and Enjoyable

*2023-09-07*

This game is super easy and fun. It’s hard to clear all the tiles, but that’s what keeps me going.  One of the best parts is there’s NO ads in the game play which makes it easier for nighttime play.

This has been one of the best games that can be addicting but a great way to keep busy during flight delays.

I really enjoy this game, but would like it so much more if it had a score or points component!! If everyone is doing a great job, than nobody is..

### 1/5 — Limited "versions"

*2026-04-25, version 1.38*

Once you play it a few times, they seem to repeat.

### 1/5 — Took it off

*2019-02-25*

Used to have several boy howdy apps. Now I have one and about to dump it. So when you send me requests to look at your other games, I don’t. Why? So glad you want to know.
 In the mahjong game, at least 2-3 icons will be on top of each other. Most real mahjong games , if the last two cover each other they give it to the player, not you. In fact most of your games seemed designed to cheat and win at any cost. Your developers must have a ball. The problem is, the player wants to win now and then. Not always, but one out of 6-12 is not a ratio that encourages people to play you games. I removed Yahtzee, the drop down puzzle, recently another and soon your mahjong. I can get. But have to pay for, a real mahjong. It was great, win some, lose some, but never because the last two were on top of each other . They split the two and gave the tie to the player. Until your attitude changes towards the people who play your games , you can forget me. I play for fun, and yes , to win a fair amount of the time. Fair being the operative word.

### 1/5 — NOT SCORING.

*2018-04-15, version 1.9*

NO SCORES SO ........DELETED.

### 2/5 — Too many nag screens

*2020-10-01, version 1.17*

Recently I’m getting nag screens almost every time I open the app. It used to be much less frequently. While I enjoy your games, I really don’t want to have this kind of nagging going on

### 3/5 — Pretty fun but,,,

*2025-11-23, version 1.33*

The gameplay itself is pretty fun and I like that you can backtrack. To me it seems the ultimate goal of the game should be to clear the board entirely. Yet, to score more points requires a different strategy. It’s a very empty feeling when clearing off the entire board only to find you still still got a fairly low score.

### 3/5 — Relaxing mind games

*2023-08-30, version 1.23*

I love the graphics. I’m happy whatever the tiles are.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2022-10-20, version 1.20*

This is a fun game that is all about strategy.

### 3/5 — Collapse jewels

*2019-12-08, version 1.15*

Fun game, but difficult to win!

### 3/5 — Addictive

*2019-10-18, version 1.15*

How many hours do you have to waste?

### 3/5 — Very good…

*2015-04-01, version 1.2*

But not exciting enough to keep going…

### 5/5 — 5

*2026-07-04, version 1.40*

Stars

### 5/5 — collapse jewels

*2026-06-27, version 1.40*

Fun game to play allows you to choose how you complete the game and allows a different way to end the game.

### 5/5 — relaxing

*2026-05-18, version 1.38*

Relaxed

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2026-05-14, version 1.38*

I love this game, it not only keeps me occupied but it helps my mental health

### 5/5 — Games

*2026-05-09, version 1.38*

What a challenge!!! I’ve won 7 games out of 100 tries. Fun but frustrating…lol

### 5/5 — Fav of all time

*2025-12-31, version 1.36*

I play it every morning before starting my day - peels away the stress before it starts lol. 
I love that it’s not timed or competitive, just interactive and forgiving!
- I feel good when I “win” but not bad or stressed when I don’t. 

I love the multiple undos - 

Only “negative” is the location of the buttons that send you to other places. They are too close and should be on top not on bottom - that way the choice is more the player’s, and not accidentally stimulated by finger-drop etc -especially with so much scamming these days. I find my browser is stuffed full of places I have to x out all from this game. It’s way too distracting - especially now that the advertisers are animating their ads - if you pick good advertisers the buttons could be anywhere and they would still get traffic.

### 5/5 — Simple fun

*2025-04-16, version 1.29*

I love this game, it’s easy and amusing/calming for me. I especially like the undo button.

### 5/5 — Ma détente

*2024-09-19, version 1.28*

Au milieu d’un travail très sérieux, je me détends avaec ce jeu pas sérieux pour deux sous!

### 5/5 — Easy and Enjoyable

*2024-09-07, version 1.28*

This game is super easy and fun. It’s hard to clear all the tiles, but that’s what keeps me going. One of the best parts is there’s NO ads in the game play which makes it easier for nighttime play. I also like to play this one when I’m waiting in line at the store or for an appointment.

### 5/5 — Reach.  It is my favorite game. I sometimes play 4 or 5 times daily.

*2024-05-15, version 1.28*

Play
