### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2026-03-07, version 5.3.1*

Add after each 30 second game is over the top

### 4/5 — Problem closing the ads

*2023-01-04, version 5.2*

The ads won’t let me close them. An “x” appears in the corner after a couple of seconds of an ad appearing, but does nothing when I touch on it. I have to exit the app every time an ad pops up just to keep playing.

### 5/5 — Estratégia

*2022-04-22*

Me lembra a infância este jogo.

### 4/5 — Bon

*2022-03-08, version 5.1.6*

J’aime bien le jeu , j aimerais un répertoire de mes meilleurs résultats

### 2/5 — Honest

*2022-01-10, version 5.1.6*

My sister got a game like this for Christmas and I was so happy when I realised I could get it on this but…..

It’s really difficult and annoying plus you can’t have more than one colour. 

It’s an ok game but not for me

### 4/5 — Well Done.

*2022-01-03, version 5.1.6*

VERY easy to play in “one-player” mode, & the “play variations” are very sensible & reflect the spirit of the original “mastermind” game.  It’s visually presented in a stylish, but not over-bearing, manner without unnecessary “bells & whistles.”  Good job.

### 5/5 — Legal

*2021-06-13*

Jogo legal, simples e não trava

### 5/5 — Great for the brain

*2021-05-12, version 5.1.5*

My favourite game. The digital version of Mastermind. Can be played at different levels. Never had a problem with it. Easy to learn.

### 5/5 — Same as Classic Board Game

*2021-04-17, version 5.1.5*

Not only is this the same as the classic board game, but it has NO annoying ads.  Individual games play quickly and it’s always a mental challenge.

### 5/5 — Great !

*2021-03-25, version 5.1.4*

The best of those I tried.

### 4/5 — Missing Statistics

*2021-03-20, version 5.1.4*

Should add.

### 4/5 — Mastermind brilliant game

*2021-02-01, version 5.1.4*

This takes me back in time it’s a brilliant game to play alone highly recommended during lock down the time flies past, it lifts my spirits in my dark days.

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2020-12-30, version 5.1.4*

This game is fun and has the advantage of being able to rearrange the balls after you place them.  I tried two other mastermind code games where I wasn’t able to change the balls if I made a mistake.  I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact that the app blocks out podcast and music apps.  The game itself also doesn’t have any sound at all.

### 4/5 — Best Mastermind game

*2020-07-15, version 5.1.4*

Easily best “Mastermind” game in the store.  Unobtrusive ads and great interface.  Tutorial of the game and how to play on smart device is excellent

### 5/5 — Fun for ages 8 and up

*2020-06-04, version 5.1.4*

Basic game. Easy to understand how to add difficulties. Fun to play when you have a few minutes to spare.

### 5/5 — S-MA

*2020-01-07, version 5.1.4*

I was first introduced to the board game Master Mind in college years ago. I enjoyed it so much.  You creating this version brings back memories.  I am enjoying it even more

### 5/5 — MasterMind rebranded

*2019-09-20, version 5.1.4*

I discovered this game in the 70s as MasterMind, and loved it immediately. With this app I don’t have to have someone scoring my moves; it’s great for having to wait in line or in the John.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-11-22, version 5.3*

You can’t choose double colours!! And you can’t position the colours and then move them easily around the board like in real life. Although it does let you confirm your choice . Not good enough !!

### 1/5 — MASTERMIND APP IS BETTER

*2022-11-20, version 5.2*

This game doesn’t let you place the same color in the same row incase you are wondering or want to check if that certain color is on the code.

### 1/5 — Joe mamma

*2021-12-26, version 5.1.6*

Game broke me like chicken

### 1/5 — Super boring

*2017-12-27, version 5.1.1*

Boring boring boring sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring

### 1/5 — Too slow!

*2017-06-10, version 5.1.0*

The latest update has ruined this app. I used to be able to play most games on super hard in less than 40 seconds. Now, the response time is so slow it nearly always takes more than a minute. Wish I hadn't updated the app.

### 1/5 — Multiplayer would have been fun

*2017-04-27, version 5.0.4*

But it doesn't work

### 1/5 — It cheats

*2017-04-09, version 5.0.4*

Played two games on it and the second game I couldn't figure out the code so once it revealed the code it turned out I couldn't get it because it didn't give me the correct results for my guesses. Sort out this problem and it could be good.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2016-08-19, version 5.0.4*

The app doesn't work and is spammed in the App Store. The reviews are likely fake.

### 1/5 — INCREDIBLY buggy

*2015-10-23, version 5.0.4*

Barely playable

### 1/5 — Keeps freezing

*2015-10-07, version 5.0.4*

The app keeps going completely black and freezing.

### 5/5 — Mastermind

*2026-02-05, version 5.3.1*

I think I’m getting the hang of it, but as soon as I do …

### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo

*2025-12-27*

O jogo é ótimo, seria perfeito se tivesse a opção de pagar para tirar os anúncios

### 5/5 — Great game - Mastermind nostalgia

*2024-08-10, version 5.3*

If you remember the boardgame MasterMind from the 70’s, you’ll immediately recognize this game. I absolutely love it. Game play is smooth and even with ads they are minimal. The only issue I’m having is that I can’t figure out how to switch difficulty levels. There’s no instructions for it that I can see and no option to switch the level.

### 5/5 — Game

*2024-06-20, version 5.3*

I promise you will have tons of fun with this one 🙃

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2024-02-27*

Muito bom, mas o jogo está com alguns erros.

### 5/5 — S-MA

*2023-11-26, version 5.2*

### 5/5 — رائع vare good

*2023-02-27, version 5.2*

Vare good

### 5/5 — Good game but faults

*2023-01-26, version 5.2*

The play style is good, but the leaderboards are not ideal, most based on chance, when you solve one on the first or second try mostly by luck (8 secs is my best, but purely by luck). Would be better to see best scores over 3 or 5 executive games etc. Also different to other code breaker games in that if the color doesn’t repeat you only can use one color per row so that makes it harder to eliminate or confirm places and colors. If you buy the game they keep sending you ads until you click refund purchase. Also the hardness doesn’t make sense, it’s much harder when you can’t use more that one color in the same row to eliminate or confirm.

### 5/5 — The think review

*2022-07-15, version 5.1.6*

It’s a great game good for your brain and lots of good thinking it’s also a good game if you have nothing to do and play it with friends.

### 5/5 — Amazing but wish we could have more than 5 code sizes.

*2022-05-16, version 5.1.6*

See above
