### 2/5 — Needs fixed and updated

*2022-05-09*

I keep deleting my profile and re-playing #3 intro and the puzzle is crime doesn’t pay, but when you put it in it says it’s incorrect. Even after it spells it out for you, it still says that. I also wish that if you’re only going to give us a certain amount of puzzles, that you would change the prize positions, because I’m not going to keep buying boards. Especially when the game messes up so bad. It’s not good when you’ve had the same complaints for all of these years and nothing is done about it and people are paying for this game because we love it so much! I’ll give 5 stars when this stuff is fixed. I wish I wouldn’t have bought it, if I knew it was going to be like this.

### 2/5 — Needs updated

*2022-01-14*

I bought this game thinking it would be fun but instead it has been frustrating because a few of the answers to the puzzles are misspelled. Don’t they edit these games before uploading them. I wish I can get my money back for this wate of my time game.

### 2/5 — Needs updated

*2021-08-20*

Still waiting for updated puzzles.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2020-01-03, version 1.8.1*

The ai needs to be improved I answered correctly twice and it didn’t r3cognize it! Fail!

### 1/5 — Learn to spell

*2019-04-28, version 1.8.1*

The game crashes when I try to connect to Facebook, and there is no D in refrigerator. Also, I had the correct answer, but the game said no.

### 2/5 — Disappointing glitches

*2019-02-03*

I see some of the glitches that make me rate this low are the same ones reported three years ago and still no fix?  Also, you pay for this app and there are still ads.  The initial cost only gives you a set number of games, then you have to pay more to get more.  I love the game though, most like the tv show.  Wish they’d fix the frustrating glitches!

### 1/5 — Fix bug!!

*2018-10-19, version 1.8.1*

I paid $3.99 for extra puzzles but it keep repeating the same puzzle. I am very disappointed. The app is useless once you play each category once! PLEASE FIX THIS! APP IS USELESS WITHOUT THE PUZZLES I PAID FOR BUT DID NOT GET!

### 2/5 — Concentration

*2018-10-08*

Each time I play a game it repeats the same puzzle. I paid for the various puzzles and there is still a glitch.
I love the game but please fix the bugs.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2018-06-10*

Crashes when linking to Facebook, crashes when starting a second game and even when you put in the RIGHT answer it does not work because of weird capitalization.  Hello!!  Capital letters should not matter in an answer.  Waste of money.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2018-05-23*

Works great until you create a profile to be able to tell which puzzles you’ve already played.  Every time you start over and enter your profile, the app crashes.  Otherwise it’s a great game.

### 1/5 — Not up to par

*2018-04-16*

This sounds fun. It is like the old TV show. However it is a single player game (offers more) and does not connect to Facebook (offers it).  
Had I had a free try I would not have bought. This game should be free. It sounds exciting but offers very little. 
The most successful part of the game is how good it is at shutting down and closing. 🙁

### 2/5 — Not like the original

*2018-04-12*

After playing a game you have to start over again. Not worth the money.

### 4/5 — Middle of the Road

*2017-09-05*

It's a great game to have to play with others or alone.  I remember the television game.  I would rate higher but I have an issue.  When I finish playing a puzzle and go to select another one it knocks me completely out of the total game.  I then have to select the app again and start the process all over.  Quite irritating.  If this bug alone was fixed I'd rate it higher.

### 3/5 — Does not work in 5.1.1, does work in 10.2.1

*2017-03-25*

Scathing review removed.  However, it must still be noted that this app does NOT work in 5.1.1, like it claims to.  In that environment, it just immediately crashes.  However, in 10.2.1, it works fine.

### 1/5 — Rip off, NON WORKING APPS! Avoid this vendor!

*2016-12-31*

Crap game, rip off of $2.99. Paid for a crappy app & the only thing is does is crash. I'm appalled to see so many of the same comments here & in their facebook page with the same issues. And yet, they still sell these non working apps. Shame!!!! Shame!!! I want my money back! Buyer not only beware: AVOID & runaway!

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2016-06-22, version 1.8.1*

Desperately needs to be updated!!! And are there any more games???? Only a handful?

### 1/5 — Robbed of $2.99

*2016-03-26*

This app is absolute junk! Do NOT waste your $2.99, crashes, crashes & then crashes some more. When it does stay open it constantly freezes and then just completely shuts down.

### 1/5 — Fix this app!

*2015-12-20*

Research before you drop 6 bucks on the deluxe version.  Where do I start?  The character to chose from are very limited!  Cannot connect with Facebook!  Shall I go on?  Was so happy to see this game from my childhood I didn't do my due diligence!  Live and learn!

### 1/5 — Glitched out

*2015-11-25*

This is a great game I was so glad when they finally made an app for this, this is a game from my childhood however I have been sadly disappointed in this app when I try to connect to Facebook it shuts off when I try to play with friends it shuts off sometimes when I try to load my profile it shuts off it has way too many glitches right now maybe if they fix it I might continue playing it until then it's no fun to play by yourself all the time.

### 1/5 — Pure crap

*2020-12-23, version 1.8.1*

Don’t waste your money.  Crappy game.  The puzzles are wrong, correct answers are said to be wrong.  One clue had a white circle, game said it was supposed to be a egg

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2020-10-24*

There are way too many glitches in solving. You type the correct answer and it says INCORRECT. When it gives the answer, it is exactly what you typed!

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2020-05-17, version 1.8.1*

I want my money back! There are only 4 puzzles. That’s it! Refund me.

### 1/5 — Review 03-03-2020

*2020-03-04, version 1.8.1*

When you initially buy, you only get three puzzles.  You have to pay extra to get more.  In that sense, the description is misleading.  Also, the bonus round doesn’t display the clock.

### 1/5 — Awful !!

*2020-01-09, version 1.8.1*

Would have given 0 stars. The game keeps shutting down. Can’t even play one game.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2019-09-11, version 1.8.1*

Don’t buy it. You get the same puzzle over and over. Then you get stuck on certain screens and can’t get out. Terrible game!
Don’t get it. Ripped off!

### 1/5 — Very disappointed!! 😩

*2019-07-02, version 1.8.1*

I read the reviews and still bought it!! Buyer beware!! I played a few games, and was going to play a few today, and the same puzzles!! 🤬😤🤯

### 1/5 — Disappoint

*2019-06-29*

Soooo Glad to see this concentration game . I love this game...watched it when I was a little girl . But it definitely needs to be worked on . I made the mistake of not reading the reviews . Had I known  this game acts up ,it stops working right in the middle of playing it , I would not have made the purchase. $ 2.99 down the drain...money doesn’t grow on trees !!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — BAD BAD BAD

*2019-06-28, version 1.8.1*

what a waste of money.  This is the WORST attempted version of classic concentration. 
Want my money back.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2019-06-20*

App is terrible. All is does is freeze and close. Waste of money. Don’t waste your money and time on the nostalgia like I did, you can’t play for more than three minutes at a time.

### 5/5 — Ive been waiting decades for this

*2012-07-20, version 1.4*

I really enjoy this game! I just wish it didn't crash so much and I could get new puzzles!! I've solved all the puzzles so now it's boring, but I still play when I'm bored!!!!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2012-04-02, version 1.0.1*
