Updates are supposed to improve apps for existing customers I thought. They should have created a separate, lite version to in-app purchase people to death, instead of tampering with a great app. I do like how the app can be played by left-handers also. ### 2/5 — Not easy to cut at all *2014-10-04, version 2.3* It's not sensitive enough to enable us to cut all the buttons especially in classic mode even with multiplayer! ### 3/5 — How many downloads?? And no reviews?????? *2014-09-10, version 2.3* This game has very good potential but the scissors are jumpy and not always responsive. Need more instructions. Otherwise if it worked, it would be a lot of fun! ### 2/5 — Not that good *2014-09-10, version 2.3* The controls were really weird for this game and the game wasn't fun ### 4/5 — FUNNNN *2014-02-09, version 2.2.1* This game is fun but, the scissors are kinda hard to operate because if you move you finger it is extremely touchy.✂️ ### 3/5 — Cut Those Buttons *2014-01-08, version 2.2.1* Its ok game very challenging ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2013-12-31, version 2.2.1* Cute game with potential but I have no desire to wade through the many pop up ads. Played it for 10 minutes and deleted it. ### 4/5 — Cutting Up Buttons and Idea *2013-10-06, version 2.2.1* I love this game. I enjoyed it on my iPod and had fun then but I remembered this game and got it for my iPad. I still enjoy it immensely. But, if there was one thing I would like to add is a "zen" or "relax" mode. I use this game as a relaxation tool with the sounds of the buttons helping greatly. If you developed a slow version (like the first few moments of classic) that didn't have any penalties or metal buttons it would be amazing. Easily my favorite gaming app. ### 5/5 — Addicting *2013-10-04, version 2.2.1* Very fun addicting game! Thanks for making this game! Only thing is the scissors are a little slow Please make a control were you can tap the buttons ### 5/5 — Great game for all ages *2013-10-04, version 2.2.1* Great game! Most of the time I am lazy I don't even write a review or rate a game but for this game I will! I recommend for ALL ages and for everyone! Ps. Arcade mode is easier if you put it on 5:00 minutes Have fun and play safe Don't cut yourself now! LOL ### 4/5 — Lucky mistake *2013-10-04, version 2.2.1* It thought it would be like cut the rope. I was wrong, but it's still really fun. ### 4/5 — Great! *2013-10-01, version 2.2.1* Bug: After an ad pops up, you can't move the scissors! You have to close the app and reopen it. Other then that, the app is addicting! ### 3/5 — Locks Up & Scissors Dissapear *2013-10-01, version 2.2.1* fun and unique game but has issues. Lock ups happen frequently and scissors will disappear too. I believe it is a combination of iOS7 and gestures. i'm going to try w/ gestures off. I have found similar issues in the past on other "multi-touch" games where they suggested to disable gestures. The problem with that is having to turn on/off each time. Would be nice if you could disable w/in the game but i'm sure Apple does not allow access to that setting from w/in an app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Once grand but makes you pay AGAIN *2018-12-16, version 2.4* Paid 2$ then play for years and they do a update that adds ADS oh & now you gotta pay AGAIN screw this game. I’ll downgrade this game on my mini on iOS 6 cause there I’ll the premium version I bought without this new stupid update. ### 1/5 — BORING *2014-09-20, version 2.3* not enough levels and it gets boring NOT FUN ### 1/5 — Confused??? *2014-09-15, version 2.3* How the heck do you cut the buttons off????? HELP ME!!!! ### 1/5 — Hurts *2014-09-13, version 2.3* It really hurts my fingers to play really weird controls I agree ### 1/5 — Not to fun *2014-09-11, version 2.3* This app is not as fun as I thought so it's horrible😧I'm telling u ### 1/5 — Ads?! *2014-01-25, version 2.2.1* I paid $1.99 for this game, why am I getting ads?! Annoying ads too! Pop up out of no where! Some take up the whole screen! Game is fun and different, but ads in a paid app is unacceptable! ### 1/5 — Unusably buggy. *2013-10-13, version 2.2.1* Fun idea but the scissors keep disappearing and it locks up and such. It's too buggy to use and I feel ripped off. ### 1/5 — Awful Game *2013-09-28, version 2.2.1* Doesn't work. Skip it. ### 1/5 — Paid game should not have ads *2013-08-15, version 2.2.1* Paid game should not have ads ### 1/5 — Ridiculous Control *2013-07-08, version 2.2.1* Fun concept, but difficult controls. Rather than cut the button cut the application. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY *2020-08-01, version 2.4* I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME ### 5/5 — So cool!
