### 3/5 — Works on iPad only (graphics issue?)

*2022-06-25, version 2.3.3*

When I play on my iPhone (8+) I can play the puzzle itself just fine, so far, but any of the other graphics displayed (level number, menu, options, assists) is contracted and not visible. For phone = 0 stars
Plays fine on any iPad = 5 stars

### 3/5 — Pixels messed up

*2022-02-03, version 2.3.3*

I love this game but it does have a few bugs such as the numbers are all messed up so I can’t see what level I’m on or how many hints I have

### 5/5 — Glow puzzle is a + !!

*2019-09-07, version 2.3.3*

Really challenging  - keeps the mind tuned up . Love it.

### 4/5 — levels

*2019-04-18, version 2.3.3*

please add more levels (:

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-03-23, version 2.3.3*

I found this game to get progressively harder in a way that just made you come back for more.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-03-22, version 2.3.3*

I am glad that I bought the game and I love that there is so many levels.

### 4/5 — Glow puzzle

*2019-03-22, version 2.3.3*

You need to add more levels to this game please

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-03-07, version 2.3.3*

I just complete the whole game and really hope they come out with new episodes!

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2018-07-19, version 2.3.3*

This is a quite fun game, but the reason I'm giving it only four stars is because the free version only gives you thirty puzzles, which you can complete easily

### 4/5 — 👌

*2018-02-24, version 2.3.3*

A bit laggy at first, but a great pastime if you're bored.

### 4/5 — Too easy (so far)

*2018-02-05, version 2.3.3*

I couldn't get it to open, initially. It would lag on the title page, then cut off to the screen. This is what I did to get it open (though, you may not need to do all the steps):

1). Downloaded app...hit the "open" icon to open from App Store download screen...it lagged on title page and crashed. 

2). Opened app from iPhone home screen...lagged on title page and crashed. 

3). Opened app from iPhone home screen...lagged on title page and crashed. 

4). Deleted app. 

5). Repeated steps 1-4

6). Looked at reviews; there were none. 

7)  went to App Store logon, couldn't find email to get refund. 

8) went back to app in App Store, still no reviews, so I hard closed the App Store app, reopened App Store app, which finally showed the reviews. 

9) redownloaded App, but this time, I closed out the App Store and opened app from my iPhone home screen, and it surprisingly loaded immediately. 

Now, I'm not sure if it was the fact that I hard closed the App Store app (swiped it instead of hitting home button), deleted and reinstalled three times, OR that I went out of the App Store app and opened it from my screen, instead. OR it could've been a combination of all processes, but it works now. 

I only wish it was this simple to get my iPod out of restore mode!  Oh well, appreciate the victories; shrug off the defeats!

### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable

*2018-01-03, version 2.3.3*

Glow is not too difficult but very enjoyable and addictive. Lots of fun.

### 2/5 — Hints in horrible place!

*2017-12-17, version 2.3.3*

The game is okay, but the hints button is right where I kept accidentally touching it - at the bottom right, where my right hand brushes.  They activate even AFTER I've completed the round!  I used up all the hints without meaning to use them at all.  That really needs fixing!

It also doesn't always register when I've touched a dot.  This is a real pain.  When I'm tracing, sometimes it will not connect, and then stop the game because the next one I try to go to isn't valid - although it would have been if it had gone the way I wanted.

### 5/5 — Greatest Game Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2017-11-28, version 2.3.3*

I can't stop playing this I am addicted to this game.

### 5/5 — More puzzles please

Love this game! Please add more levels :)

### 5/5 — Achievement unlocked

*2017-08-24, version 2.3.3*

### 1/5 — Defunct

*2023-08-07, version 2.3.3*

Developers have definitely abandoned this app / game. Many critical text displays are broken. The game itself still technically works, but it’s obvious the game is no longer supported and it’s o my a matter of time before device updates make it unplayable.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY PAID VERSION!!

*2023-03-16, version 2.3.3*

I'm assuming that NexxStudio has 'abandoned' this app more than a few years back or they are defunct. My kid has had this puzzle on 3 different versions of iPad Mini over 8 years, I believe.  He currently has the 2021 release version and the game rotates opposite. Example: He plugs in his mini to charge, so turns the iPad on its side. App does not rotate at all to landscape mode. I then turn it to where the port and cable are coming from the 'top' (I guess you'd call that 180° Portrait mode) and the app does rotate, it just rotates upside down. And of course I'm not an idiot, I will then rotate back to 0° Portrait Mode and the screen rotates upside down in the other direction. Regardless if there's a "oh, we'll lock the screen before you rotate it back" that's something that should have been fixed. (His last iPad mini did it as well, I just assumed that, because the outdated IOS wouldn't update, the app glitches 'in translation'. 
Also, we have the paid version, and I've tried downloading the app to my iPhone. I am unable to read what level I'm on and I'm unable to read if I have any number of hints available. The screen is ultra compressed. That's been true 2+ years.

### 1/5 — Update

*2020-11-13, version 2.3.3*

Please update it to the iPhone X screen

### 1/5 — Iphone x screen

*2020-03-03*

No iPhone X screen support

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2015-08-05, version 2.3.3*

Went through the first 25 levels in 5 minutes without having to think once. Tip: if there is a node with an odd number of connections then start there. Far too easy...

### 1/5 — BazzaRoy.

*2015-07-05, version 2.3.3*

I installed this game but it refused to load so I never got the opportunity to play it. Consequently I can't say if the game is good or not, hence only one star. Incidentally I was using a iPad 4.

### 1/5 — Allow me to tell you how to solve all the puzzles

*2015-06-09, version 2.3.3*

Start somewhere with an odd number of connections if you can, otherwise start anywhere. There, you now have the solution to all 950 puzzles. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Refund!

*2015-02-19, version 2.3.2*

I loved the free version (been looking for that app for years!) and then I am able to get this and then when I load it up IT CRASHES! IT ALWAYS CRASHES! NOTHING ELSE BUT CRASHING! FIX THIS OUR I AM CALLING APPLE!

### 1/5 — BORING AND REPETITIOUS

*2014-12-22, version 2.3.2*

No challenge. All games the same.

### 1/5 — Tedious

*2013-07-14, version 2.1.0*

This game has one mechanic, and for dozens of levels one color scheme.

Wanted to like but it's just boooooring. 

Need to add more mechanics. Something.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-08-08, version 2.3.3*

Good glow

### 5/5 — Best game for stress🤩

*2025-11-01, version 2.3.3*

I think this game is great for stress because the sound the game makes when you connect the dots is very satisfying to hear. A other thing is that you can change the color of the puzzles! One more thing is when you complete a hard level you feel like a genus!

### 5/5 — Awesome Love It

*2024-10-25, version 2.3.3*

Simply addicted

### 5/5 — Really enjoy with brain wrestling

*2023-02-08, version 2.3.3*

I seldom play this game all the time since, I think, 2008 or 2010. I darn love it. Help me a lot and to keep me company. It's an amazing game. I'm 69 years old. 😊

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2022-04-30, version 2.3.3*

This puzzle game starts easy and increases in difficulty every level you pass. The neon colors are beautiful. I highly recommend this game.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-03-09, version 2.3.3*

Can someone please update this app??? I’ve finished every puzzle😩

### 5/5 — Glow Puzzle

*2020-12-26, version 2.3.3*

Great game to clear your mind. My husband is home for hospice and I worry every minute. This game helps me get into a better place. Thank you. I also agree with “cool”.
Unfortunately I suffer from Essential Tremmors, and I frequently hit a wrong line.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly addictive!

*2020-11-10, version 2.3.3*

I had the full game many years ago on an iPod touch. I now have it on my iPad it’s so addictive I love the game😁😍

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-09-25, version 2.3.3*

Best game ever. I love how you have to learn how to statistically do moves without touching your line.

### 5/5 — A Few Bugs

*2019-11-18, version 2.3.3*

It works really good... But my only concern is that the pixels are messed up on it, if this happens to anybody kindly write a review on it.... What I mean by it it’s that the numbers are off on it doesn’t say what levels I’m doing it’s kinda messed up, I’d be a happy camper if they fix this... thanks
