It’s the classic game with three levels of difficulty. It’s easy to play, and gives you a nice workout with logic. My only wish is that there was some sort of occasional challenge or competition. ### 4/5 — Exercise *2019-01-10* A good way to exercise your brain. ### 4/5 — A few suggestions *2016-04-08* Great game! Have a little bit of feedback, my husband is a bit colourblind and it's great that you can add letters to the different colours to help with that but he said it would be helpful if the letters were the first letter of the colour they are on instead. I also think the little pins on the right would be easier to differentiate if they had more contrast than white and light grey and the on and off buttons in the settings are also so similar that you can't really tell which one is selected. But just minor things, enjoying the game! ### 4/5 — Excellent *2015-07-10, version 1.65* Fun to play. It would be nice to have a score tracking mechanism like average number of guesses either total or over the past N games. A reminder of the options chosen while playing would also be useful ### 4/5 — Old Favorite *2014-02-10* It's a game I come back to because the challenge is new in each hand. ### 4/5 — Great game *2013-10-12* Love the game. Would give 5 stars if it tracked scores and/or had a timer. ### 5/5 — Great game to pass the time *2013-05-04* I love this game when i just want to pass a few minutes. Keeps the logical brain cells active. Needs a harder level I feel ### 5/5 — Great game & app *2013-05-01, version 1.51* Great game able to challenge both kids and adults. App works fine, the paid upgrade worth it. ### 4/5 — Need Stats! *2013-04-29, version 1.51* Please add ability to keep stats! I love the game but I need something more - like knowing how many rounds it takes me on average. I would recommend it to all of my friends as we are all competitive but without any kind of record keeping it's kind of pointless. ### 5/5 — Simple concept keeps you thinking *2013-03-13, version 1.51* Fabulous; this game is challenging for 6 year old Grayson and his DAD too. It's fun for is to do together. ### 4/5 — Love it *2013-02-14* Great app but I think the clue colours are backwards, the dark should be you have it but in the wrong spot and bright should be you have it in the right spot. ### 4/5 — Solid *2013-01-21, version 1.51* Works well, does what it's supposed to. Nothing spectacular or over the top 'wow' either. This is a good choice for this game, if you're shopping around. ### 4/5 — Mastermind 2012! *2012-12-26* Loads of fun when I was growing up, loads of fun now! ### 4/5 — Mastermind in the modern age *2012-12-25, version 1.51* It's fun. Wish there was a way to track a score or something. Maybe a combo of how many guesses and how much time? And it would be great to track averages over time. ### 5/5 — I love it!!!! *2012-12-06* It brings back some sweet childhood memories of playing this with my friends and family. Its challenging as the real thing. Thank you for making this retro game digital... I love it!! ### 5/5 — Mastermind brillance *2012-11-26, version 1.51* I loved the game as a kid, and still apparently do. I downloaded this Ap about a year ago, and I still find myself playing it from time to time when I have time to kill. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced upgrade *2018-01-03, version 1.75* The ads completely ruined the free version making it unplayable. Was forced to purchase to even be able to play. Bad form Optime! ### 1/5 — right or wrong colored ball? *2012-09-25* i don't get why the black dot will tell me i got that specific ball right, then i will keep putting that right colored ball in same spot, and then it tell's me that the right colored ball is wrong! well... what is it?! is it right or wrong? ### 3/5 — Not bad *2014-06-12, version 1.65* Let your paying customers use the whole screen. The space for ads is still there, just empty. Also, the icons for your other games = advertising. At least hide them in the "More games" section. ### 3/5 — Okay Game *2012-11-25* Game is okay has a few glitches in it such as the correct guess side pannel which on one guess tells you is right and then on the next tells you is wrong. ### 3/5 — Quite good *2011-05-08* Would be better if it kept a record of your stats ### 3/5 — Decent *2010-06-24, version 0* Great game but it often tells you a color is in the right spot then it says its not on the next try then when you see the solution... That color isnt even part of it. Work out that glitch and id give it 5 stars ### 3/5 — Best iteration of the classic Mastermind game! *2009-11-24, version 0* I think that this is by far the best version of this game. It looks very professional and the controls are intuitive. The only thing that I would like to see is statistics. I would rate this a 4 or even 5 stars if it would track my best completion (in rows), avg completion, wins, and losses. Keep up the good work! ### 3/5 — Still not enough... *2009-08-25, version 0* I like it, but the 'pro-hard' mode just means 6~9 tries to repeatedly win instead of 5~7 on the free version to account for duplicates and empty's. Same strategy even... Worth the $0.99 even if it's a bit disappointing in how easy it is, hopefully they update it down the road to add more features. ### 3/5 — Down time entertainment... *2009-08-24, version 0* Easy interface, simple rules. Pro is a little more challenging than the free version, so I'm glad I upgraded. Would enjoy a record keeping system to keep track of my stats... ### 3/5 — Could be better though *2009-08-12* I really enjoyed playing this app don't listen to the to the peeps saying that it's rubbish the only thing I'd change is that the black peg looks grey other than that it is an amazing app=) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2023-06-02* Found this game on Kindle and just came across it in the app store. I set it so that colors can't repeat in a line. It's a challenge but not crazy that way. Worth the price. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2017-09-20, version 1.75* This logic game is the best version of Master Mind. Must try! ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2017-09-01, version 1.75* Excellent game. I play it every day, and it never gets old. Several interesting levels of difficulty. Usually challenging at the hardest levels, but beatable, with some thought. Exercises the logic circuits. ### 5/5 — Great for working the brain *2014-10-27* A great challenge that gets you thinking. ### 5/5 — Guess the Code Pro *2013-12-31* There were several games of this nature available and many were cheaper. I chose "Guess the Code Pro" because of the varied settings and particularly the magnificent colour scheme. I love this game! ### 5/5 — Good Game. *2013-10-22* I tried a few variations of the old Mastermind game and this seems the best of them. Could do with a few improvements like not accepting double coulors when that game option is off, but generally well coded and stable on iOS 5 & 6. Got the paid version to avoid the ads. Keeps my mind active and is great to fill-in time. ### 5/5 — My favourite game *2013-10-22* Works perfectly and takes all my time :) ### 5/5 — Crack the Code *2013-10-12* Love this app, choose hard,keeps my mind active & always a challenge 5 star ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-08-02, version 1.60* Have to play every night. Love winning with the least number of tries. Yet love the ability to change the settings for a challenge! Loved this game when younger. Now I'm happily addicted. ### 5/5 — A great workout for the brain *2013-06-12, version 1.51* I loved this game before personal computers, I wrote a version in BASIC on a mainframe that typed back at me, adapted that to Applesoft BASIC a few years later. I've had a widget on my Mac for years and now this one on my iPhone. Just a fun way to help keep the mind sharp. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
