### 4/5 — Grim tales Bloody Mary

*2025-11-05, version 1.0.2*

Enjoying the game apart from the fact that the Apple Pencil will not work on tapping the sparkles. Please mend this. Thanks

Also purchased and deleted and re downloaded and it seems to think I didn’t purchase it now.  Please sort this out.

Many thanks

### 5/5 — Very colorful!

*2025-08-29, version 1.0.2*

I enjoyed the scenery and the sample game was great but didn’t last very long.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2024-11-04, version 1.0.2*

I try to tap the toy trumpet but it won’t work.

### 2/5 — Rebuy

*2024-02-15, version 1.0.2*

I finished the game before and now I have to buy it again that is crazy

### 4/5 — Finally able to play

*2022-07-19*

After waiting so long to be able to play and only to off of my iPad, it wasn’t so bad. It was fun and so were the extras. It was an interesting take on the legend.

### 5/5 — Actually really good

*2022-07-03, version 1.0.2*

I originally thought this was one of those ‘pick up and put wherever you like’ games, but after playing it for a while, I found that the story of the 2 chapters really tie together, and I think that’s really good! -X640

### 2/5 — Major tapping recognition problem!

*2021-03-22*

This is an ongoing problem that was in reviews from a year ago! Has not gotten better; unlike the other reviewer I gave up tapping n the toy trumpet in the music room; I have other games I can play.

### 3/5 — Great game but....

*2020-10-20*

The game was great when it worked. The hang ups were many but if you want a great older game this is one of the better ones. Could only rate a 3 but would have given it a 5 if not for the problems with the game.

### 1/5 — Play once, play forever....LIES

*2020-09-14, version 1.0.2*

Why are all of my games I purchased since 2014 gone? And they now are reissued and saying I have to pay 6 dollars for the same game I’ve already purchased?! I purchased this one already restore my purchase!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-07-05, version 1.0.2*

I love playing this game
