I would think that the ruler would tell me how many blocks are filled in or how many blocks are still needed, but for some reason, the ruler is telling me how many empty blocks there are. That helps me in no way whatsoever. Having to constantly count 30 blocks to figure out how many more are still needed is ridiculous. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. To help you with this issue (and make improvements if necessary), please send us an email to support@conceptispuzzles.com telling us if this problem is with the SingleClue puzzles or with the DualClue puzzles. Thank you for your help ### 4/5 — 面白いです *2025-04-05* 一つ見つけると次を確定出来たりして楽しめます。 難しいものもあり。 優しいヒントが欲しいかな **Developer response:** このパズルにはまだアシスタント機能がなく、申し訳ございません。次のステップのヒントが欲しい時など、宜しければ画像を問い合わせメールにいただけましたら、できる範囲で回答させていただきます。 ### 4/5 — 面白いけど *2024-10-20* やる種類は偏っちゃうかな 世界の絶景もっと出して下さい ### 3/5 — Fun, just lacks enough free content *2024-06-13* I really did enjoy doing these puzzles, they’re decently challenging and pretty satisfying to figure out. The problem is that by the time you get the hang of it the free packs end. After the free packs you get access to a single puzzle every week and that just doesn’t seem worth the space on my phone. I do appreciate the lack of ads on the game but, for me personally, I completely understand if you have to implement an ad system to properly monetize the app and still provide for free players, Tl:dr Good puzzles but there’s not enough free content **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Our policy is to provide a quality puzzling environment in a relaxed atmosphere and without any ads. As such, the only way we can support this app and continue to provide new puzzles is by charging for the content. We thank you for your understanding. ### 3/5 — 楽しい *2023-10-23* けどちょっと難しすぎ… **Developer response:** よろしければ、詰まった箇所がありましたら、問い合わせメールに詳細をいただけましたら、できる範囲で回答させていただきます。 ### 4/5 — Challenging *2023-10-04* This is one of the few puzzle games that makes me stop and think. Could do with more guidance on hard levels **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Did you take a look at the help section for more guidance on hard puzzles? In case you get stuck on a puzzle you are welcome to send a screenshot to support@conceptispuzzles.com and we will gladly guide you on the next steps. ### 3/5 — Get rid single clue *2023-10-03, version 2.7* Love the dual clue. Single clue just doesn’t work for me. No fun. ### 4/5 — Great puzzles but over-priced *2023-09-06* I enjoy this type of puzzle which is different from griddlers. I am happy to pay for quality puzzles but their prices are so high for just 20 that I only bought one pack. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry that our puzzles are expensive. All puzzles are hand made by professional artists, and the app is expensive to update and maintain. Since we insist on providing quality puzzles in a relaxed environment without any ads, the only way we can keep our apps going is by charging for the content. We hope you understand our situation, and continue enjoying our puzzles. ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2023-07-31* このシリーズが大好きです❤️ ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2023-06-15* I love doing these great puzzles. When I finish a pack I go back and try to do them again in a faster time. Brilliant! ### 5/5 — Fun for a quick game *2023-06-04* Like the various levels of difficulty ### 5/5 — クロス塗り *2023-05-22* 夢中になれますね ### 5/5 — Gutes Logik-Spiel *2023-05-16* Es macht viel Spaß und man muss schon überlegen, um auf die Lösung zu kommen. ### 5/5 — 🥰 *2023-04-22* love it ### 5/5 — Great Puzzles *2023-04-21* I love these puzzles so much fun and the app is so great in that you can buy so many more if you like them and their are weekly free puzzles you can play. ### 5/5 — Challenging! *2023-04-17* These are really tricky. They are fun to try, and very playable on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Really surprisingly hard *2023-04-08* After many years, I still find these quite difficult in larger puzzles. Good brain workout! ### 4/5 — Love Conceptis Puzzles *2023-03-25, version 2.5* I solve this one every week. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No *2023-07-18* This game has asked me to rate it at least 20 times, 1 star for the sheer annoyance of it. Edit: 21 times now. Edit: 22 times now. Edit: 23 times now. Edit: 24 times now Edit: regarding the “response from dev”, asking to me to rate your app ONCE is not a big problem. But once I give a rating, or select “no”, the app should STOP ASKING! I have over 300 apps on my phone and Conceptis apps are the ONLY ones that ask for a rating over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Seriously, why do your apps CONTINUALLY ask for a rating, even after you give one?? And what do you think it means when I click “no I don’t want to rate this”? Do you think it means “please ask me 500 more times”? Because it doesn’t. **Developer response:** We understand your frustration, but we really need your support so we can continue providing quality puzzles to our users. To survive in the crowded apps market we must have good ranking, and to have good app ranking we need your help. It's not much effort, and if our games are good and you enjoy playing them, then why not? We honestly thank you for your understanding and your help! ### 1/5 — Another ordering craziness *2023-01-18* Why does conceptis keep mucking up the ordering of the puzzle packs. At least let us habe the option of keeping the original ordering **Developer response:** After around 10 years of adding puzzles every week it was necessary to update the game's architecture: to separate purchased volumes from non-purchased volumes, and to provide filtering options. Once you get used to the new system we are sure you will see the benefits and love it. ### 1/5 — Meh *2022-12-08, version 2.4* This game has asked me to rate it at least 20 times, 1 star for the sheer annoyance of it. Edit: 21 times now. ### 1/5 — Don’t spam me for reviews *2022-08-06, version 2.3* Don’t spam me for reviews ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-04-24, version 1.9* I’ve been enjoying this game for ages, but this week the bonus puzzle is a man with a feather in his hair, titled “Indian.” Whoever is creating these puzzles, please educate yourselves immediately. You need to do better. ### 1/5 — Good UI gone terrible *2020-02-12* This used to have a good user interface. Now it’s terrible! It now requires moving a "cross-hair" selector into position *before* you can change the selection between fill/clear/unset. What used to be just: tap; Is now: select, drag, drop, tap! It’s slower, more error prone, more frustrating and basically one helluva lot worse! It now takes at least 2.5 times longer to complete a puzzle with all the pointless faffing required. **Developer response:** We haven't changed anything in the interface of this game, so you are probably confusing with one of our other games (probably Pic-a-Pix). That being said, we are planning to add the "direct-touch" feature you are describing to the Cross-a-Pix app some time later this year. ### 1/5 — Different *2019-08-05* This version is different to an older version I had some years ago. Not as much fun. I shall not bother playing it. ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2016-08-12, version 1.1* Please make the cross bars optional! It significantly slows the process of solving the puzzle by limiting the ability of when / where to place a mark without moving the cross bars first, making the puzzle actually harder to solve. I love playing this online and find the app unusable. ### 2/5 — 今回のアプデで *2023-07-15* 操作性がものすごく悪くなった。 やっててイライラするレベルで意図しない誤塗りが増えた。 好きなパズルだったので残念。 **Developer response:** ご不便をおかけし申し訳ございません。こちらの不具合はカーソルを使った場合でしょうか。よろしければ、問い合わせメールに詳細をいただけましたらお調べさせていただきます。 ### 2/5 — Gioco bellissimo ma prezzi troppo alti! *2018-02-02* 2 stelle per colpa del prezzo dei pacchetti davvero troppo alto! La rivista in edicola contiene più di 60 giochi e costa 2,90, qui un pacchetto con 20 puzzle costa 3,49 o 4,49, davvero troppo! Non esiste neanche un abbonamento a prezzo unico scontato per sbloccare tutto... Per giocarli tutti bisogna fare un mutuo!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-05-09* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Challenging! *2023-10-14, version 2.7* These are really tricky. They are fun to try, and very playable on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Addicting *2023-09-29, version 2.7* Hours and hours spent on this game ### 5/5 — 楽しいです *2023-09-22* 宣伝も無いし毎回待ってます。ただスマホでやってるので20✖️30などは多すぎて私には無理です、残念。 **Developer response:** 将来、小さいサイズを集めたミニパックを配信検討中です。よろしくお願いします。 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-09-18* I love this app… great implementation too! ### 5/5 — Totally addictive *2023-09-17* J’adore ce jeu dans les deux versions. ### 5/5 — 楽しんでいます *2023-09-10* シングルが難しいけど、段々できるようになって、時間があればやっています。　　　うーん！なかなか上手くならないww ### 5/5 — Conceptis FTW *2023-09-04* Anything Conceptis is worth getting. I have all their apps (this one is a fav) and have played on them for YEARS. Simple apps, no fancy ads, just lots of puzzles. I buy more packs of puzzles as I need them and often I just repeat the same puzzle packs because I’m an ordinary person and it’s not like I have these puzzles memorized. I’m a puzzle nerd and have tried many other apps by other developers but Conceptis is the best. ### 5/5 — Challenging enough *2023-08-18* The single clue puzzles are pure genius, Medium takes me bout an hour per puzzle, so for £3-£4 I get a lot of hours of gameplay! The dual clue ones, are, in my opinion, a bit easy. I use it as a sort of “meditation” before sleep - once I know my brain finds it hard to progress - I know I will put it down and fall asleep almost instantly. ### 5/5 — 楽しいよ *2023-08-08* 自分は下手なので大きなクイズ　特にシングルクイズには全く手が出ないが無料クイズに楽しく出来るのがたくさんあってすごく嬉しい 。できたらチェックのかわりにアシスタントが出来ないかなあ、そうすれば大きなクイズも完成まで頑張れる。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
