### 4/5 — Missing one feature

*2025-10-19*

Amazing app. Just missing the button to go back and review the solution after solving.

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2025-10-05*

Unplayable, not possible to get into the zone because every 2 puzzles you see a terrible add for one of those trash games. I’m willing to watch ads no problem, but not every 2 puzzles!

### 2/5 — Kludgy User Interface

*2025-02-04*

Didn’t like the UI for moving pieces at all. No way to navigate back to previous puzzles. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — No way to see original position after solving the puzzle

*2024-07-08*

Lack of basic controls

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-05-30*

Love this app! Can’t think of anything to improve! Puzzles are very good and I will continue to use the app. Can’t wait for more updates!!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much 😊 I am really glad to hear this!

### 4/5 — Decent

*2024-05-26, version 1.10*

I should be able to go back to past solved puzzles or atleast hve a rewind feature after solving

### 5/5 — Pure & Simple

*2024-05-02*

I’m not gonna pay for Chess.com just to have unlimited puzzles, so this app is perfect. Plus, sometimes it’s nice to practice without it affecting your rating. I do kinda wish there was a “back” button bc sometimes I hit “next” instead of “hint” but that’s on me lol

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-12-20*

The graphics blow goats but it’s a good app. It would be nice if you could rewind and forward the moves to see it unfold again and again. For a free app- you could do a heck of a lot worse.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2023-11-01, version 1.10*

This is a great app. I love it.

### 2/5 — Lacking and boring

*2023-10-02*

I’m sorry. There are some wonderful apps out there with tons of features. Idk if this app is able to compete really. 
Not for me sorry.
