### 4/5 — Simple but fun

*2025-01-17, version 2.7.2*

This game has taken up a spot on my phones for years. The only thing I dislike (why I took a star away) is how it overrides my music/audio. I want to play while I listen to my music or podcast.

### 3/5 — Fun but don’t buy extra moves unless you want the app to crash and never work again!

*2021-06-30, version 2.6.53*

Title seems self explanatory

### 2/5 — Used to love it, until....

*2021-01-01, version 2.6.53*

I used to play the game all the time. Then I played the progressive version. I had maybe 2 screens left and ended up paying for extra moves, just so I could finish them all. From the time I paid (it was all of $0.99- not the point) I could no longer open the app and couldn’t even re-install it!
There was no “customer service” to contact!

### 2/5 — Crashed!!!

*2020-05-17, version 2.6.50*

I had been playing flood-it for years and enjoyed it as a way to pass time. I had it on my iPhone (and iPod touch.) I had gotten up to level 27 in the progressive screen, which I just couldn’t beat. I finally sucked it up, and purchased  pack of extra steps. Not only didn’t I get the steps(which I paid for) but the fame crashed and wouldn’t open. I had to delete the app (erasing my history) and reload it. It won’t open. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling numerous times and it still won’t open

### 1/5 — Not enjoyable any longer

*2020-01-30, version 2.6.50*

This was an amusing little time-waster of a game. Enjoyed until the developers put in audio advertisements that play without video during the game. So annoying I will not play the game again until this is fixed.

### 1/5 — Weird music

*2020-01-02, version 2.6.50*

Please fix the horrible music!!! This has just been added and it is most annoying. I am about to delete this fun and addictive game I used to enjoy playing!

### 3/5 — Used to love...

*2019-12-30, version 2.6.50*

... this simple little game but now it starts playing ad music while you’re playing the game... most disconcerting...and annoying! It even plays when your ringer is off!

### 1/5 — They’ve ruined it!

*2019-12-17, version 2.6.50*

This used to be a great game but the greedy developers have started selling audio ads that come to life while you’re playing.  I don’t mind ads between games but being interrupted in mid-game by ads is intolerable.  Don’t download it until they’ve fixed the problem.

### 1/5 — Frozen. Doesn’t Work!!

*2019-10-20, version 2.6.40*

Downloaded on recommendation from a friend. But he game is frozen and non responsive.

### 2/5 — Original was better

*2017-11-17, version 2.6.21*

Fun, relaxing game, but
New version has 2 colors that are so close I can’t tell them apart. Tried all color options. 
Never had ads before. 
When there are no more moves it used to say, try again. New version tries to sell me extra moves every time. I find this insulting. 
Used to be able to start a new game without seeing an ad. 
Your new version just isn’t for me. Deleting.

### 2/5 — Crashes after recent iOS Update

*2017-10-30, version 2.6.10*

App crashes when you try to get to Options or Statistics since the installation of the latest iOS release.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2017-10-16, version 2.6.10*

I can't choose any options because it crashes if I do.

### 1/5 — Kicks me out after game

*2017-10-16, version 2.6.10*

Cannot access options to turn off the sounds. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Used to love this game

*2017-10-13, version 2.6.10*

I played this game all the time.   Unfortunately, they haven’t updated it for the latest iPhone update.

### 1/5 — Lose game, give money, get annoyed

*2023-12-23, version 2.6.64*

If you lose a round, the game IMMEDIATELY asks you if you want to purchase extra moves. It’s very annoying to have to click off that screen after every time you lose. I don’t want to play the game anymore. And I paid $0.99 to remove ads which I thought would remove that screen but it does not. Developers got greedy. Enjoy my 99¢ filled with pure resentment for your business.

### 1/5 — Unsafe

*2021-07-03, version 2.6.53*

Unsafe site

### 1/5 — Crash

*2021-06-29, version 2.6.53*

Don’t get this game!! 
This game crashes right after level 27. Made a purchase because I was giving up on the game and fell victim: don’t be me. Please don’t get this game.

### 1/5 — App is messed up

*2021-01-31, version 2.6.53*

Been playing for years.  Liked the app.  Now it went to an Amazon ad and froze there.  No longer operational. In order to use the app, need to delete and reload. And then it happens again with another ad

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2020-12-24, version 2.6.53*

I loved this game and have had it for years. Apparently the most recent update (Fall 2020) is beyond the capabilities of the iOS my iPhoneis running?  I’m running 13.3.1.

### 1/5 — What happened to my favorite app?

*2020-09-25, version 2.6.52*

Suddenly the colors on my iPad-mini on Flood-it are all messed up. The colors on the game are different from the ones you touch below. Besides the fact it is now extremely difficult to win, the faded game colors really detract from the former beauty of the game screen. Please correct this problem.

### 1/5 — Crashed after purchased extra packs

*2020-07-25, version 2.6.50*

I’ve loved playing this game without any problems for a long time. When I just could not get past a level I broke down and purchased extra packs. Now the game crashes every time I open it. I lost what I spent on the packs and I’ve lost my favorite game too! Very not happy! The latest version says this is fixed but it’s definitely not!!

### 1/5 — Horse crap

*2020-06-24, version 2.6.50*

It is not possible to beat the firs level

### 1/5 — Don't believe the planted reviewers

*2020-02-20, version 2.6.50*

(2012-ish) This is been one of my favorite puzzle games for years. It's been a daily diversion.

(2015-ish) REVISED: As of this review, the ads are too much, and I searched but saw no ad-free paid version from this app dev. At this point, I would gladly pay, but given that it still has the old LabPixies logo from years back, and given the other reviews, it seems like this is an orphaned app. 
How about an ad-free upgrade guys?

(2020) REVISION 2:
ok dev,
2 things:
1. please remove the audio on the invisible ads - plays whether sound is on or off on bluetooth, cutting off other audio. super annoying. i understand it could be an intentional bug to keep ad revenue while letting users play, but either way please just silence the audio when users select no sound. especially when playing the game. 

2. i don’t mind you ad for
more moves option - kinda nice. but the pebble in the shoe since, like, 2008 has been, you offer these extra move packs when users run out, and put the price, so far so good. you even name them pack 1.”, pack 2, pack 3 - nice, users can tell them apart. BUT YOU DONT SAY HOW MANY MOVES. like “5 extra moves,” “10 extra moves,” etc. and don’t EVEN try to say you were actually wanting fools to pay a buck or more for 1, 2, or 3 extra moves. ain’t nobody got time for that. 

so to sum up: fun game, will play it as long as it’s available, 2 glaring rookie bugs to fix - years long. so maybe also remove the “coolest gadgets on the web” slogan from the logo too. at this point it’s not even aspirational. 

i will revise up the star rating if these are fixed.

### 1/5 — Background audio ads

*2020-02-20, version 2.6.50*

The app plays ads through audio which cuts off any music you’re listening to while playing the game. After ads are done playing your music doesn’t come back either so your only options are to play with no audio or listen to the same ad over and over again. You can swipe up to access Apple’s control centre and see audio playing in the top right-hand corner you don’t recognize and can’t skip. Will likely delete the app soon.

Help with security

### 5/5 — SO FUN

*2025-04-08, version 2.7.2*

Really good without ads and really is a NEED app. Also saved my storage. Other mobile games take lots of mb and maybe sometimes gb. This is only 4mb!!!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-01-18, version 2.7.2*

Wonderful

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-06-01, version 2.6.65*

I’ve been playing this for years. Challenging, but doable. Love the quick play for a quick time killer.  Thank you to the developers for keeping it updated and fresh!

### 5/5 — Fun game. One suggestion

*2018-12-21, version 2.6.31*

I want to see the flooded board before it clears. When I hit the last color, it says you did it but you never get to see the whole board as one color. I need that satisfaction, please!

### 5/5 — This game is great!!

*2018-02-07, version 2.6.25*

This game is so engaging and the UI is colorful. I use it during my commute daily and it fills up my time :) keep going, waiting for new features!!

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2016-09-27, version 2.2.5*

Best game on iPhone.
Simple.

Much better since the devs fixed a few things.

Love it!

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2015-03-08, version 2.1*

I play this game everyday. If you want a puzzle that is relaxing as well as challenging then this is that game. Fun

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2015-01-04, version 2.1.5*

Had the same crashing issue others reported. Deleted and reinstalled, issue is gone. Works great.

### 5/5 — Fun

FUN
