(Hab kein einziges Spiel verloren, das ist nicht gut!) ### 3/5 — Bueno el juego pero… *2023-05-13, version 7.20* Al pretender jugar online vs. Otros jugadores; simplemente no conecta; supongo que se debe a que somos tan pocos (o tal vez sea yo el único que juega esto 😂), que no tengo con quien más jugar. En fina ver qué pasa🥴 ### 3/5 — Too many ads and popups *2022-01-17* Game is ok but hard isn't really hard and there are way too many ads and popups ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-11-15* This game is a fun game and I love how the game helps everyone to keep getting smarter. ### 4/5 — 규칙 추가해주세요 *2021-10-21* 쌍삼도 그렇고 육목되면 이기는거 없애는 규칙 추가해주세요 그리고 실수로 놓았을때 한번 물러주는 기능도 있으면 좋겠네요 ### 5/5 — Excellent quick game *2021-10-03* Very good - only request would be an option for up to 4 players. ### 3/5 — can we get harder levels pls *2021-09-03, version 6.041* the hardest level is laughably easy. ### 5/5 — Miclo *2021-08-04* Jeu captivant mais dommage que le classement indique toujours le score invraisemblable d’un gamer (genre des millions de points). Un meilleur contrôle serait apprécié. ### 5/5 — Favorite Gomoku App! *2021-01-28, version 2.10* Really nice UI and customization settings. The AI is also very fine ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-01-27* I love the game ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2020-11-21* Good stuff I love it very much ### 5/5 — Canac *2020-11-12* I’ve always played the board game Pente. This 5-in-a-row game- is, as similar to.. the Pente Board Game that I have been really able to enjoy -sort of-, it’s not Pente by far, but, it’s great.. simply because it’s NOT as irritating to play as other similar games out there. ### 5/5 — Será *2020-11-02* Parece desafiador, acabei de jogar, não sei muito ainda sobre o APP, acho que não funciona off-line?!@@, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Zu viel Werbung *2025-05-18* Nach jedem Spiel Werbung. Nein danke ### 1/5 — 5 in a row *2025-05-05* Too many ads that last way too long! ### 1/5 — Too easy *2020-12-22, version 2.10* The computer is not a qualified opponent at all. Easily won every game against the computer even in “hard” setting. ### 1/5 — K.I. auf höchster Schwierigkeitsstufe zu leicht *2020-06-22* Egal welche Schwierigkeitsstufe, man besiegt den Computer unter 60sek. Der Computer erkennt keine komplexen Strategien und zieht selbst auch nur offensichtlich. Dadurch ist er kein Gegner und macht kaum Spaß. Vielleicht den Algorithmus etwas verfeinern ... Leider scheint fast keiner das Spiel zu spielen, denn Online findet man keine Gegner. insgesamt also wenig lustig ### 1/5 — Not multiplayer *2020-03-02* Been trying for almost an hour to play with a friend. Won’t work! ### 1/5 — This program has too many bugs. *2020-02-21* The game was so easy to win while playing with the computer. ### 1/5 — IA éclaté *2020-01-25* Pas de jeu en ligne sauf en game center ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2020-01-09, version 2.10* First time playing five in a row. First time I have downloaded the app and I have tried multiplayer but no-one is online. So I went on to play hard difficulty but won my first game. As a beginner beating the hardest difficulty of the game, I couldn't challenge myself anywhere. ### 1/5 — AI is not smart enough to play with *2019-06-02* AI is playing like a 5 year old kid. ### 1/5 — Mehrspieler mit Freunden nicht möglich *2019-05-30* Mehr muss man nicht sagen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 정말 재밌습니다 *2025-12-06* 제가 오목을 정말 좋아해서 더 할 나위 없는 게임입니다 허나 단점을 말씀드리자면 테마를 다크초콜렛 테마로 변경시 흑돌이 거의 아예 안 보이는 문제가 있습니다 이 문제를 흑돌을 다른 색으로 바꿔주시는게 좋을 것 같습니다 (예: 산딸기 테마 변경 시 흑돌이 빨간색 돌로 변경) ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-05-06, version 7.21* Excellent ### 5/5 — Mayores niveles de dificultad *2024-04-02, version 7.21* Excelente juego, vengo jugándolo desde hace mas de 40 años, pero creo que seria adecuado añadir un nivel mayor de dificultad. Xavie_n ### 5/5 — Cant stop playing this game *2023-09-15* Very addictive and fun! ### 5/5 — Five in a row *2023-08-17* Why does the game lock up so much? ### 5/5 — Sympa *2023-04-12* Complet et sympathique ### 5/5 — Five in a row *2023-03-18* Why does the game lock up so much? ### 5/5 — Five in a row *2022-09-30, version 7.10* Why does the game lock up so much? ### 5/5 — Rate *2022-08-15, version 7.10* Good ### 5/5 — おもしろいです *2022-01-09* 良い感じ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
