### 3/5 — Black screen55x n b n n b

*2026-08-05, version 2.1.2*

WHY AM I HAVING TO PLAY IN BLACK-FACE. I. HATE IT.  YOU ALL SWITCHED IT.  Change it back or the game is. Out!

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2026-07-14, version 2.1.2*

Once you start it’s very difficult to put it down. However, it’s annoying that every 10 or so games there is a revolut ad that won’t close, so you can’t play on. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.2*

Great game.

### 4/5 — Hoeveel keer kan je vragen of het leuk is

*2026-06-07, version 2.1.2*

Te veel vraag of het leuk is

### 5/5 — My favorite go to, time wasting game

*2026-06-01, version 2.1.2*

I have had this app for years and still play multiple times per week. Relaxing and engaging.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2026-05-29, version 2.1.2*

This is a good game to play while watching tv.  I can concentrate on both things.  It’s also relaxing and helps me ignore commercials!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-28, version 2.1.2*

I enjoy the sounds and the interesting words that can develop and I like the pacing of the game so that when my friend plays in her real time, I can possibly even be there to play almost like live.

### 5/5 — Best waiting room game

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.2*

I love passing time with this app when I am waiting for my name to be called lol

### 5/5 — Clever

*2026-04-08, version 2.1.2*

It’s a game that requires planning and thinking. Relaxing

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2026-04-01, version 2.1.2*

This game catches you out every time if you don’t concentrate over the long haul when playing for a high score. Brilliant game

### 5/5 — ❤️💕The BEST SORTING GAME out there💕❤️

*2026-03-21, version 2.1.2*

I have been playing this game for so long I can’t remember not having it. It’s an old friend I go to daily to fill random moments (aaaand maaaybe more hours than I should).  If you enjoy organizing (I obviously do), this game is for you!  I have noticed that the game decides when it will end by giving me all big pieces—-not all games are the same.  That is frustrating, but also challenging. Don’t give up when there seems no hope. You can often save it and go on to another day.  But pray for smaller pieces🤭🥰
I also appreciate that I can control the sound.  The longer ascending tone when I match a lot of squares is a nice reward. And there are no frenetic flashing lights, which I find intolerable.

### 5/5 — Love this. Cannot stop!

*2026-02-09, version 2.1.2*

Addicted to this but seriously need an undo button (even if it costs points) for the times I accidentally drop or "throw" a block across the screen when I'm setting the phone down.

### 3/5 — Incorrect analysis

*2025-11-01, version 2.1.2*

Most recent game. ‘GAME OVER’ came up when space was clearly available.
Not possible to record unfortunately 
This was the only occasion in what must be hundreds of games!

### 5/5 — Superior

*2025-10-06, version 2.1.2*

Great enveloping amusement. ( what’s with the obscene, catchy, endearing moniker )

### 2/5 — Can’t get back to game after ads

*2025-09-27, version 2.1.2*

I’ve been playing this game for years and it’s been generally fine, but for a year or more now when I lose a game and the ad pops up before I start another one, I can’t get back into the game board. I try again and again and again and again and it just doesn’t work — and then I revisit the next day and it finally works again… and then it stops working. This has been going on for ages and it makes me so incredibly frustrated.

### 3/5 — Great game, but . . .

*2025-06-04, version 2.1.2*

I love this game so much — for a while. Then, I start getting tired of having to dismiss a Game Center invitation before every single game. 

Also, the basic game play can be quite frustrating. From what I can tell, the algorithm is such that you get a few/several pieces that fit perfectly on the game board, and it’s up to you to see it and place them to effectively remove sections; followed by a few/several pieces that quite clearly will not fit anywhere. It’s clearly intentional — it is definitely not random. 

The goal, it seems, is to use the pieces that fit to remove as many blocks as possible before the non-fitting pieces start up. That way, you have room to place these misfits. As the game progresses, naturally the misfit pieces come more often, and are larger, making them harder to place. 

This could be a relaxing/focusing game if it weren’t for the misfit algorithm — and the repeated request to use Game Center. If I find an app that doesn’t do those two things, I’m switching in a heartbeat!

### 1/5 — Good game

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.2*

Good game but the score stay low. Hard to score high. Still a good game

### 1/5 — Quit asking me for a review

*2026-06-06, version 2.1.2*

The game itself is fine - but EVERY time I log in I get asked for a review… so here is the review.   Stop asking me please.

### 1/5 — Très amusant

*2026-05-04, version 2.1.2*

Je n’aime pas les annonces!. Autrefois il n’y avait aucune annonce.

### 1/5 — Can’t close the new ads

*2025-10-14, version 2.1.2*

I get that ads are a necessary evil that all apps eventually integrate but at least make sure we can close them to actually get back to playing our game!

### 1/5 — Good game ruined by Ads

*2024-08-07, version 2.1.2*

Pointless creating a game that can’t now be played.  It’s all about making advertising more intrusive and more difficult to avoid or skip.  The latest to appear now creates a full screen advert for a Japan Travel Planner with no means of closing it and continuing to the game.  I give up.

### 1/5 — Ads galore

*2023-07-23, version 2.1.1*

Unable to disable ads. Obnoxious

### 1/5 — Fini le bug à l'ouverture

*2021-11-21, version 2.1.1*

sur mon IPad mini verSion 9.2, le jeu s'ouvre a nouveau. Thanks you

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2021-06-22, version 2.0.5*

This game started to be my life saver! But now omg!!!!!!   It glitches stupidly, Deleting the app now!

### 1/5 — Why not fix the errors?

*2021-05-31, version 2.0.5*

Used to love this game, but now it just locks up without explanation.  Then it won’t let you place the squares where you want.  Am deleting the game.

### 1/5 — Major issues

*2020-11-15, version 2.0.3*

First time user, it slowed down my phone. Had issues getting rid of the game. Definitely will not be trying this game again. Too bad though, I was really enjoying the game.

Still my favorite years later, still challenging, no timer and NO ADS!

### 5/5 — Peaceful

It’s nice to pass the time on without all the stress.

I’ve been playing this for years

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.2*

This is a fun game to play!

### 5/5 — My favorite game app!

*2026-07-17, version 2.1.2*

This game is so simple but so satisfying. I’ve had it for soooo long and it has consistently been something I use to relax. I’ll be so sad if it ever leaves the app store/becomes unsupported, so thank you to the devs!

### 5/5 — Consistently entertaining and soothing at the same time!

*2026-07-11, version 2.1.2*

This game provides challenge, puzzling thought process , soothing and entertaining energy at the same time.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-09, version 2.1.2*

Its amazing

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-01, version 2.1.2*

Great way to pass the time. Almost meditative but mentally stimulating.

### 5/5 — Very relaxing though.

*2026-06-10, version 2.1.2*

I must admit I am addicted to this game. That said I guess the colors sent to you are computer generated & you ultimately lose while hopefully increasing your score. At the end of my game I need another game to play where I have more control over the colors not just where I place them, to ease my frustration. Thanks 😁 I spend way to much time on this game! 😁 No matter what other games I play from time to time, this is my go too, my default. 😁
