### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open

*2024-12-11, version 1.0.0*

Have downloaded this twice now & it still will not open. I’ve checked on my side & iPad is ask to play this - even says under requirements that it will work on this iPad. Please fix the glitch on your side. Thank You

### 1/5 — RIP off

*2024-02-20, version 1.0.0*

I am fed up with Big Fish.  This is yet another game I paid for, but now unable to play as states “no purchase”.  I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Can not replay

*2023-12-23, version 1.0.0*

I tried to replay and the game would not load just a black screen.

### 3/5 — Can not play

*2023-03-17, version 1.0.0*

I brought the game and downloaded to my iPad but it goes blank.

### 1/5 — Finger is tired

*2022-11-27, version 1.0.0*

Had to touch objects so many times to get a response.

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.0*

Lots of glitches in the mini games. Had to skip a lot of them which was a shame.

### 4/5 — Tapping on objects

*2021-02-11, version 1.0.0*

Most of the time the screen responds very slowly or not at all to tapping on hidden objects. 
The game is too short.
The constant reloading screen is very annoying.

### 2/5 — Not happy

*2020-10-29, version 1.0.0*

Not happy that these games come up as free. The you just get into the game then have to pay to continue why say they are free when there not frustrates me

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2020-05-07, version 1.0.0*

Good story, fun game

### 5/5 — Excellent game, just needs a little tweaking

*2020-03-01, version 1.0.0*

I love the Beauty and the Beast theme of this HOP game! It was challenging but not too.  The biggest thing that annoyed was Tapping objects, some times 4, 5 or 6 times.  Also Dragging objects to where they need to go.  I sometimes had to tap on a moveable object within a puzzle, not in inventory, multiple times to get it to “stick” to my finger so I could drag it into place.  All of that said, I love the “Dark Romance “ series!  I love how you switch between main characters to experience the story from both their points of view!  Please make more “Dark Romance” HOP games for the iPad! Thank you to all!
