Runs smooth, no issues. I have played the daily puzzles everyday for 7yrs. I bought it full maybe 10yrs ago? They update for free. They add new challenges and levels for free. I love this company. I will be a fan forever. They treat their customers right.

*2026-08-11, version 4.9*

I've beaten all of the Mania packs except 15x15, because I'm saving them haha 

I really wish they'd go higher. Maybe 20x20 or even 25x25.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-08-21, version 4.9*

I bought this game, because it is a challenging and entertaining game.

However, even after purchasing the game, I only get 2 hints for a puzzle.

The game then tries to charge you money for hints. That’s a scam. 

If I buy a puzzle game, I shouldn’t have to pay extra for solutions. 

Don’t buy this game!

### 1/5 — ADS

*2026-08-18, version 4.9*

Cant go 30 seconds without the most annoying obstructive ad imaginable

### 1/5 — Video

*2026-08-18, version 4.9*

I watched the video to get a free hand. I never got the free hat nothing

### 1/5 — no good

*2026-08-15, version 4.9*

i know. I KNOW that a free game requires ads to survive; but your game has way way tooooooooooooooooooooooo long; sometimes 60 minutes. sometimes i forget what i playing. sorry DELETE

### 1/5 — Flow Free

*2026-08-09, version 4.9*

Great game but way too many ads. I deleted it because of the ads

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-24, version 4.9*

If ads frustrate you don’t even download the app. About one ad per 1-2 finished rounds it’s absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — The ads are unbearable.

*2026-07-22, version 4.9*

The advertisements never end. You sit waiting for the X to pop up and it just never happens.

### 1/5 — Too many ads, read before getting.

*2026-07-15, version 4.9*

I first played this in 2nd grade and I enjoyed it. I installed this again. I’m in 8th grade and disappointed. This game has a plethora of ads. And these aren’t your typical ads. They last a MINUTE. Every two levels you get an ad. Super sad for a good game. Can’t our hints like, replenish the next day? That’d be better than having to suffer through a minute long ad. 

Edit: SOME OF THE ADS are 30 seconds but LOOPED to be one minute. They are basically using ads that are 1 minute or more for basically everything. Every 2-4 levels an ad pops up. I was texting my lesbian partner and then when I got back on the app, an AD popped up. The ads are so long that I just close off the game and turn on airplane mode before reopening. Can’t they make it like every ten levels? Very annoying.

Edit 2: Some ads even take me to websites. I have to close out of the app because I don’t want to watch the stupid ads, but before it even closes it takes me to Apple TV’s webpage.

### 1/5 — No. I don’t want to pay for more hints!

*2026-07-13, version 4.9*

Stop asking me to buy hints. Let me turn this upsell garbage off.

### 1/5 — Ads Galore

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-08-23, version 4.9*

I love to play this when my brothers are playing our Xbox. Also when we go on road trips and no Wi-Fi needed.

### 5/5 — Música

*2026-08-22, version 4.9*

Tremenda aplicación que raro que no tenga una hermosa música instrumental !!!

### 5/5 — My Rating

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

What a fun game! Can you please add more colour suggestions? I would appreciate it if there are more. I also want more choices and sizes for shapes and line thickness.

### 5/5 — Simple but Very Fun

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

Better than mort of the cliched game apps of the 2020s

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

Picked this game up about a decade ago, and I really loved it even then, but it could’ve been better. Now, though? They’ve made so many changes, even down to the smallest nitpicks, that I really don’t think it could get better if they tried. Especially taking into account how long it’s been out, it’s super rare to find commitment to quality like that. 

As if that wasn’t enough, they’re still making new packs for those who have purchased the full version (maybe free ones too? I wouldn’t know). I’ve had the full version for years now, so I don’t remember for sure how much it was, or if it changed, but I believe it was $5. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I was hesitant for a while at first because I’m not a huge fan of in-app purchases, and my only regret it not doing i sooner. The price-to-content ratio is insanely good. 

TL;DR: 
10/10 absolute banger. If you like it at all, buy the full version, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Genuinely fun

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

Low-key relaxing

### 5/5 — Perfect bar 2 things

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

I love this game a lot it’s so great, but there are just 2 things that would make it perfect. I do understand you can pay for more levels but I just want way bigger the hardest sizes can be completed in like 2 minutes sometimes and so I wish there was more of a challenge. I would pay for more if that were implemented. 2 I would LOVE if I could create my own puzzles and play them. I have something similar to the tetris effect where I just think in these puzzles everywhere and see it everywhere, and It’s making me really really want to build puzzles. I dont know the chances of them
reading this but Im speaking to the clouds I want this so bad.

### 5/5 — Suggestions for new level types

*2026-08-17, version 4.9*

First off, I love this game, i’m addicted to it for the second time and surprisingly enough, i’m more addicted to it this time. I’d love to see more level types though with new mechanics. I love the chain mechanic and the bridge mechanic BUT I was thinking about a fog game mode. You start off with only one or two colors and when you connect those it reveals space around it. Not completely for sure how this would work but judging by how you’ve made all of the other mechanics work spectacularly, I bet this could work too. Another game mode, ghost. Again, you start off with one color BUT this time you can see the whole board, instead every color (besides the one you started with) is gray. once you connect the first color it reveals one or two more colors. This would be a cool game mode for a mini game type pack. 15-30 levels of each game mode and each one is a new and whacky mechanic. Overall, great job with the current game!

### 5/5 — Po

*2026-08-17, version 4.9*
