## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Repetitive

*2016-04-06*

Ok game, kinda repetitive and dull.

### 2/5 — Changed my rating from 5 to 2 stars because...

*2015-07-29, version 3.0*

...after a while, and on the same level, it began acting up: switching numbers around, not accepting taps on numbers, had to be tapped multiple times, ending the game abruptly.  It stopped being fun or challenging so I ended up deleting it.
My skills were improving & I was playing faster, but I did not want to advance to a more difficult level yet.  Instead the game itself became so much more tricky, difficult, non-responsive, it was no longer enjoyable.

Original review:
A fun fast-paced game with multiple levels, it will challenge your mental skills.

### 2/5 — Good idea... But...

*2014-09-07*

The game sounded better than it was.  Gameplay is flat and never seems to reach a point and which it becomes exciting.  It could be improved and become a great game, but it's nowhere near that just yet.

### 3/5 — Love and challenging

*2019-07-15, version 3.1.5*

I love this app. It is always fun to have some challenge in the game

### 3/5 — Playa

*2017-08-15, version 3.1.5*

Easy enough

### 3/5 — Fun

*2016-03-28, version 3.1.5*

Challenging to think on the spot like this but gets boring after a while

### 3/5 — Good exercise

*2015-11-15*

Keeps you thinking

### 3/5 — Great yet simple app

*2015-07-09*

This is a great yet simple app however I did get bored of it quickly. Good to pass time when waiting at random places.

### 3/5 — A bit boring

*2015-07-05*

This game is boring. Game play is not interesting enough to keep my attention. It lacks the finesse of Calcit and each level is the same. Meanwhile, the numbers change colour to indicate lack of use; I found it hard to remember what the colours meant and probably wasn't interested enough to find out!
Am going to delete because life's too short to bother with 2nd rate games....

### 3/5 — Meh

*2014-12-15*

Interesting.
