### 2/5 — Lock

*2025-10-25*

Twice now one of the same ad has locked the game! Same ad comes up and locks the game again father I restarted my iPad! 
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? MY GUESS IS YOU NEVER VET THIS STUPID ADS YOU SELL YOURSELF TOO.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience. The behavior of the ad that blocks the screen is not typical. Please report this problematic ad via in-app support (Settings – Support). We'll detect it and block from showing. Thanks, Support Team.

### 2/5 — Slider

*2021-11-30*

About 90% to 95% of the time my “ mistakes” are simply the result of the slider which switches from choosing to mark x on a blank square as opposed to filling it in not sliding and engaging my correct choice.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for letting us know about such an issue in the app. Please excuse us for the inconveniences in the game. We've forwarded your message to our team of developers for further consideration. Could you please clarify - was the slider like this from the start or something happened after? We'd be grateful to receive your reply at support@severex.io. Thank you in advance!

### 2/5 — Very tiny, no landscape. $7.99???

*2021-02-05*

I can’t figure out how to enlarge. Obviously I’m not going to pay when I can’t even see the numbers. Make a landscape conpatibiltiy!

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for rating our app and sharing your feedback with us. Please note that the app can be used absolutely for free, subscription is optional. You can also zoom in and out by pinch (to use pinch-to-zoom, touch two fingers on the touch screen, and move them apart to zoom in, or together to zoom out). Please feel free to contact us at support@severex.io if necessary. Thanks!

### 2/5 — I’m confused

*2020-11-23*

I am rating this app three stars for now because after the tutorial it wants me to pay. I can’t find the x to say no.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback. Please note that the app can be used for free without any payment, subscription is optional. You can always continue with limited version. Please contact us at support@severex.io if you have any questions remaining.

### 2/5 — An sich ein gutes Spiel aber...

*2020-08-24*

Leider gab das letzte Update keine Verbesserungen, sondern Verschlechterungen. 
Gleich nach dem Öffnen stürzt die App ab.

**Developer response:** Hallo, danke für deinen Kommentar! Bitte entschuldigen Sie uns für eine so späte Antwort. Ist das Problem mit Abstürzen für Sie jetzt noch aktuell? Wenn ja, teilen Sie uns dies bitte unter support@severex.io mit. Vielen Dank!

### 1/5 — Ads longer than play

*2020-08-17*

I understand you use ads to make money. However, there is an ad after every single puzzle. The ads are long ads with no way to X out of them. Play time should be longer than ad time. In this game you spend twice as much time waiting for the ad to finish than you do playing the puzzles.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the feedback. We appreciate your notice and even agree that sometimes we get tired of advertised stuff. But there are always two sides of the coin. Thanks to ads we can develop and improve the app further. 
Please note that there should be a way to close the ad between puzzles - try tapping on the ad until X sign appears.
Thank you! Have a nice day.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2020-07-10*

I really enjoy this game however it gets my phone really hot, most other puzzle games similar to this don’t. The game also crashes a lot, it doesn’t kick me out of the game, just the puzzle i’m in

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback.
We apologize for the inconveniences caused in the game.
In order to investigate this issue, we would like to ask for your help.
Next time this crash happens during puzzle, please tap Settings - Contact Us - 
Start a conversation and write a message to us.
It will be very helpful in dealing with this matter.
Also, could you please clarify - do these crashes happen with the Internet connection
turned on or when it is turned off?

We would be grateful for your understanding and help.

Best regards,
Griddlers 1 - Nonogram puzzle team

### 2/5 — Great Game - Horrible Ad Experience

*2020-07-08*

So I want to start by saying that I really enjoy this app, and that for simply the gameplay and puzzles I’d give it 5 stars. However...

The ad experience is atrocious. It’s not even the frequency of ads that’s the problem, it’s specifically the frequency of advertisements that completely disconnect the user from their music and cannot be muted in app. Not just interrupts the music, but requires me to go back into my music app (Spotify) and start playing the music again. I am not able to resume the song from the control panel. 

There’s a 15 second Amazon Music advertisement that’s cannot be skipped that also cannot be muted without completely turning off the volume on your phone. Even when I’m not listening to music it will blast the audio out of my phone’s speakers (even on silent mode).

If I could purchase an ad-free version for a reasonable price, I’d switch this to 5 stars. But for now this ad experience is truly frustrating enough to warrant this low review.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your kind and detailed review.
We are really happy to know you liked our app :)
We apologize for ads in the app, but this is the only way to develop the app, support and make it available to everyone further longer. 
What concerns ad-removing option - we are currently considering adding a free of ads mode to one of our future updates. So please stay tuned and don't miss it!
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
You help us make the app better for everyone.


Best regards,
Griddlers 1 - Nonogram puzzle team

### 3/5 — Bom!

*2020-04-12*

Um ótimo passatempo com aguçados jogos e desafio semanal. 
Podia retirar algumas propagandas para não poluir demais entre os jogos. 
Desafio semanal mais fácil que os jogos de treino.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2024-05-17*

This was my favorite game and now I’m gonna have to delete because the app won’t open 😞

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry for the inconvenience. Have you tried clearing the app's cache? If it's not helpful, please contact us at support@severex.io. Regards, Support Team.

### 1/5 — Dear developer

*2024-01-26*

I’m not one to usually give 1 star reviews, but with that being said.  If an add pops up before I’m even allowed to play your game, that’s an instant delete.  I’m so tired of this forced add trend.  I have no problem watching adds if it’s a choice, but constant pop ups before the first level is ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the advertisements. We understand that excessive ads can be annoying and disrupt the gaming experience. Our team is constantly working on optimizing the ad frequency to provide a seamless gameplay flow. Thanks for your understanding, Support Team.

### 1/5 — Devs Please Be Reasonable

*2023-10-16*

I would love this app except the ads make it nearly unplayable. I understand earning revenue from ads, and I am willing to watch a reasonable amount of ads in order to play…
But the Play scale is all crooked. If on a 15 x 15 puzzle you could watch one ad for three hints and maybe an ad in between puzzles it would be a five star game. I would still watch ads when I made mistakes-but it wouldn’t be the punishment that it is now that makes the game not fun. Also many of the ads play and then go back to that “would you want to watch an ad” screen and doesn’t allow you to play the game unless you wath another 30 second ad -it’s TOO Frustrating -which is not what I’m looking for when I’m playing a game. Three hints per ad would still be very challenging to play the game. One hint per ad is just punishment and not worth it at all. If you want revenue then make the game playable so I can tell all my friends and everyone will watch your ads willingly- instead of making a system that is so offputting that we can’t even enjoy the brilliance of your app. 
Please consider this review a kindness as you may not realize how frustratingly unplayable it can be if you have to stop for 30 seconds to a minute every few minutes that you make a mistake. It makes your pleasurable game not fun at all. Thank you and I’m hoping for a change in the game rather than a change of games.

**Developer response:** Hello! We're truly sorry to see that you can't fully enjoy our app. We do apologise for the ads in the game. Please kindly note that we need ads to develop the app, support and make the game available to everyone further longer. Unfortunately, we can't totally control their number but we're currently working on ways to minimize their impact. Thanks for your understanding, Support Team.

### 1/5 — Bitte ein Update

*2021-02-04*

Seit dem letzten Update kam ich kein neues Spiel starten und somit auch nicht spielen. Bitte behebt dieses Problem

**Developer response:** Hallo, danke für das Feedback! Könnten Sie bitte bestätigen - ist das Problem für Sie jetzt noch aktuell? Wenn ja, teilen Sie uns dies bitte unter support@severex.io mit. Danke im Voraus!

### 1/5 — Write a review pop up

*2021-01-20*

Give me some time to play some of your game before you ask me how it is. You couldn’t give me that. Delete.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the feedback. We apologize for the inconveniences caused. Your kind note will definitely be taken into consideration. Please have a nice day! Kind regards, Support Team.

### 1/5 — Racist puzzle!

*2021-01-13*

Absolutely love this app game but I just got to Episode 29 in Collections (theme: The Past) and one of the pictures was a Native American and labeled “injun.” This is extremely racist and I’m appalled. First of all, Native Americans/Indians are not “from the past.” They are very much a living, breathing culture that continues to be crapped on by the US government. Second, the term injun is an offensive term.

I’m willing to change my review and star rating if this is corrected.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback and notification. We deeply apologize for such an issue in our app. We would like to assure you that we absolutely didn't mean to heart anyone's feelings by adding this image. It will be corrected. Thank you for drawing our attention to this case. Best regards, Support Team.

### 1/5 — Help

*2020-08-24*

Leider stürzt dieses wunderbare Spiel sofort nach dem Start ab. Vor dem Update funktionierte es prima.

Been using the app for years now. All of a sudden it now locks after each game. Can’t do anything but leave the game and come back later. Please fix

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your updated review. We apologize for the inconvenience. The behavior of the ad that blocks the screen is not typical.

### 4/5 — Love it but have to reinstall occasionally

I love this logic game!  The only bad thing is that occasionally I have to delete the app and reinstall it. It starts freezing and crashing. I don’t know why updates don’t come through automatically.

### 3/5 — I really like this game but...

*2021-01-06*

I can’t open it anymore?? It gets stuck on the loading page. Also there is an ad after literally every puzzle which is frustrating when you are just plowing through the easy ones.
