### 3/5 — Needs a tweak

*2023-08-27*

This game would be better if you had a go back option for each calculation

### 3/5 — Reset needed

*2023-08-11*

Now the Times has dropped Digits I needed a new one. This is almost there - but please, please, please can an ‘undo last move’ button be added so I can correct my stupid fat finger errors?

### 3/5 — Great NYT replacement, needs a back button

*2023-08-09*

Otherwise it’s perfect!

### 3/5 — Will scratch the NYT Digits itch but not completely

*2023-07-13*

This app definitely scratches the itch once I’ve done the NYT version, but it isn’t as good. I don’t think all the puzzles are solvable. Some are too easy, others are impossible, and you can’t find out the answer. You also should be able to back up a step, instead of only being able to reset. In addition, too many large numbers (25, 50, 75, etc.) and too many duplicate numbers.

### 1/5 — Poor imitation

*2024-08-28*

Like others, looking for NYT replacement to Digits. But, no back button and NO reset

### 1/5 — Whitney

*2023-09-02*

I’ve played exactly 3 games and been prompted to rate it 3 times. The game lacks an undo button.

### 1/5 — Dark mode kills the app

*2023-05-16*

Can’t see the puzzle properly in dark mode

### 1/5 — Incorrect math

*2023-04-12*

8 x 75 = 600, but for some reason it always pops up 400 on this app. The math is inaccurate

### 2/5 — Can’t undo

*2023-12-09*

I loved playing NYT digits. The fun was trying to figure out different combinations and trying different ways to get the number, but this game has no undo button so I can’t play it.

### 2/5 — Digits

*2023-08-07*

There is no reset button on iPad

### 2/5 — Pigpen

*2023-06-11*

This game is ok but there’s no way of
-
1. Reading reviews (that I can’t find anyway)
2. Undoing a combination once you’ve done it  … say 2x3 when you meant to do 2+3
3. It says they’ve added a restart button, but all I see is a new game button which means it counts as a game played even if you didn’t finish it because of #2 above
Please sort and make this game more playable rather than skip able
Thanks

### 2/5 — No back button?

*2023-05-29*

NY Times version is better

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2026-04-08*

I was glad to find this game, as I miss it in the NYT too. The main issue with this app is that it crashes frequently, losing the game that’s in progress, counting it as a loss, and messing up my stats. It would also be nice to have different levels of play. This one is good for me because it’s challenging, but not so hard that I quit.

### 3/5 — great game but something is wrong!

*2024-04-17*

I love it but after playing a game then using my phone for something else, when I return to Digits the screen shows the 6 numbers but not the target number!  Reset doesn’t change it, so I have to open another new game. My stats assumes that I have failed to solve the opening puzzle, which makes stats worthless.

I’m running Digits on my iPhone 12 Pro with IOS  17.4.1, the most recent version.

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2026-07-03*

5 stars

### 5/5 — Pure Math FUN!!

*2024-05-04*

Excellent job!! I love this sort of math game!! No timers, but a lot of thought!! Almost like an algebra equation but all you have is the solution!! You’re provided the equals amount, and what X, Y, Z, etc, are, but placement & what you DO with them is up to you!! Out society would be smarter if everyone played something like this everyday!!! 
Highly recommend!! Great game!!

### 5/5 — I love Math

*2023-09-03*

Thank you for making this app. The NYTIMES discontinued their daily Digits game & I’m happy to find this.

### 5/5 — Sue

*2023-08-31*

So great to be able to play this game

### 4/5 — Just needs a few adjustments

*2023-08-14*

I missed the NYT digits game so much I was glad to find this one. Though I find this one a little harder. One wish: I wish there were an undo, instead there is a restart. I’d actually like both. Sometimes I fat finger the +,-,\, or *. Then I have to go all the way back instead of just one step. 

Also, after several tries, the app intermittently crashes, and when I come back to the game it is a new problem.

### 4/5 — It’s like the NYT version…

*2023-08-05*

As you know, NYT is dropping their version of Digits on Aug 8. Sadly this app doesn’t have the same puzzle that your friends might be doing with a share feature, as the NYT version does. But….! It’s basically the same game and fun if you like numbers and operations. It does make you better at understanding operations and values that produce other values. Thanks to the coder who programmed this. Best of luck!

### 4/5 — Missing 1 thing

*2023-05-31*

I like it - would love it - if it had a go back button

### 3/5 — medium substitution for NYT digits game

*2023-08-30*

ok game but NO reset button on ipad version like there is on iphone version. reset button essential so you can have more than one try at finding solution!!
