### 5/5 — Best week ever

*2026-08-16, version 3.3*

I really enjoy this relaxing and challenging game

This was a good batch of weekly and daily games. Please keep it up.

### 1/5 — Awful Update

*2026-06-23, version 3.3*

I've played this game and other variants of Flow Free for YEARS (I have a daily streak over 1500) and this new update is awful simply for trying to get players to spend money on hints by moving the buttons around. It is not discreet, the hint button is where the reset button was, and the reset is where the skip button was, discouraging players from taking their time and coming back to puzzles when they're ready and encouraging the instant gratification of paying to solve the puzzle right away. I liked this game because of its slow pace and non-pushy interface. The new changes, though slight, have a major negative effect on the mood of the game.

### 1/5 — Good game ruined by ads

*2026-05-20, version 3.3*

Love this game and have even finished the original flow free including the paid levels, but this game is flooded with AI ads that show harmful things especially considering the age groups that might be playing this game

### 5/5 — This game rocks

*2026-05-16, version 3.3*

I’ve played this game for so long and it’s honestly one of my favorites. I’ll have it on my iPhone as long as it’s on the store

### 1/5 — Who ruined it?

*2026-03-28, version 3.3*

The  Flow Free games were pleasant. Now, all of a sudden, the games won’t turn to landscape mode. This means that the screen is a whole lot smaller on an iPad. Not good.

### 5/5 — Thank you for a great game.

*2026-02-28, version 3.3*

Best game I’ve ever played. That’s saying something because I’ve played tons of mobile games, and somehow an addictive brain game became my number one. The ads honestly don’t bother me. They’re shown every 3-5 levels so it’s not too annoying. I’ve completed over a thousand levels and I plan on completing this entire game with all levels completed perfectly. Once I’m done with this game, I’ll play all the other versions of flow free as well. Once again; Best. Game. Ever.

### 2/5 — Nothing but ads

*2026-01-23, version 3.3*

Uses to be fun, now nothing but ads

### 5/5 — Totally addictive

*2026-01-06, version 3.2*

I can’t stop playing this game. It’s so well designed and engaging. I’m obsessed with completing all the free play levels. I’ve slacked off at work, stopped eating, even abandoned family and friends because I only live to play the daily and weekly challenges. Send help!

### 4/5 — Too many ads

*2025-11-05, version 3.2*

Love these games but recently there seems to be so many more ads creeping in. Not only the fact there are more, they are also longer. Getting bored of seeing “Popsa” for over a minute 😩

### 5/5 — Flow Flee: Hexes

*2025-09-28, version 3.2*

This is the Best Puzzle Game Ever
