It kills the fun! ### 3/5 — Bro, just give me my score! 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬 *2026-08-16, version 7.40* I cannot just get my score i’m trying to do a battle☹️😢😭 ok sry I’m being dramatic lol ### 2/5 — Dots and boxes are a pretty good game *2026-07-03, version 7.27* I think if you want to make dots and boxes better you should take away all of the adds and make level that get harder and harder for people to get into .That’d make dots and boxes better. ### 4/5 — Dots *2026-06-29, version 7.27* It is fun to play against a computer or against a friend but, there are adds after every game. ### 4/5 — Yassssss *2026-04-22, version 7.27* Ive had this game for about 5 years and I love it like 6777 but no actually it’s definitely one of my favourite games and what makes it better is that you can play this game any way since it’s a non wifi needed app. I really like the options to either play with a bot (robot) or friends and family. The only thing I would change is having 1 or 2 less adds. So yeah 5/4.5 stars cause it also keeps all of your stats. ### 4/5 — 😎 *2026-04-08, version 7.27* Man I love the way you can play with a bot !

This appl showing ads which are clearly phishing attempts. This happened so many times so reporting, my daughter could have clicked on it. I have attached the screenshot, shouldn't the developer be responsible for filtering out fishing attempts originating from their app and Apple being the platform provider ensure that fishing doesn't originate from apps directly sourced from their platform. ### 1/5 — Garbage ads *2026-01-15, version 7.27* Expect to be flooded with a bunch of annoying ads. Should of kept it ad free ### 1/5 — The game cheats *2025-12-21, version 7.27* So yo need to reas this. You’re playing the game and the AI mode just fills in boxes that cannot be filled in. This makes the game soo frustrating and annoying. It just ruins the entire point. I’m just always looking for cheating and I cannot enjoy the game. ### 1/5 — Hard to play *2025-12-01, version 7.27* Cant find my friends and the code doesn’t work neither the link. ### 1/5 — Only 1 or 2 player online available *2025-11-24, version 7.27* Try to play my sister via share the code, doesn’t work. Pity. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Jean Paul beatour *2025-11-11, version 7.27* Je n’aime vraiment pas se jeux car il a trop d’injustice et il est vraiment influent sur les jeune gens merci de signaler se jeux cordialement Woody noumouk ### 1/5 — Actively cheats *2025-06-10, version 7.27* Frequently will mark two lines at the same time (far apart so it is hard to see) to allow it to close more boxes on a turn than it ought to have had access to close. There comes a point in a well played match where you are choosing which boxes to give away & you’ve double checked every line & you know you’re only giving away two boxes & suddenly half the board is turning to their color. Once in a great while, OK, I overlooked a chance to make boxes. But this happens regularly. No clue why. Not keeping it installed long enough try to find out. ### 1/5 — Not recommended😡 *2025-05-28, version 7.27* So not good so annoying so not useful not recommended😤. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très bien fait .... *2026-08-12, version 7.28* Mérite vraiment un 5 étoiles ‼️ ### 5/5 — Change the colors of this dots game *2026-08-02* Nice and mind or cool game and i love this ### 5/5 — BECAUSE *2026-06-19, version 7.27* I’ve tried this game and it like you had to fill in the squares and it tells you which color and it shows a different color to show where your opponent went or where you went last and then See restart games if you if you already started one and you can do like other things and it’s so much ### 5/5 — Dots and Boxes *2026-06-19, version 7.27* Love playing Dots and Boxes.
