### 2/5 — How to play

*2024-05-01, version 1.80*

It would be better if players knew what the four dots and their positioning means. If it is a clue to how close or far I am away from guessing the right code, I don’t understand it. Thinking about deleting this APP.

### 3/5 — There is a bug

*2022-07-28*

Hi I noticed a bug in the game. When I press the same 2 colours that came out black in the next move they change to white pls fix this

### 4/5 — Fun and interesting.

*2022-02-13, version 1.80*

I realize it’s a bit like Wordle but I played color code long before I heard of Wordle.

### 4/5 — Too light

*2021-11-26, version 1.80*

The white and “black” marking pegs —- black too light.

### 2/5 — It would be OK

*2021-09-30, version 1.80*

Those are all paid reviews this game sucks it says one it right when it’s wrong and anything in between would be fun if fixed tho.

### 3/5 — Hint color is confusing

*2021-08-25, version 1.80*

The color used for hint indicator is confusing.  Suggest the following instead:

Green: Right color and right space
Orange: right color, wrong space
X In Red: wrong color

### 3/5 — great, but update the 2 yellows in hard mode

*2021-07-08, version 1.80*

great game, but PLEASE make one of the yellows in the hard mode a different color!! teal? also the white and grey are too close in tone😆

### 3/5 — Hard version is messed up

*2020-08-05, version 1.80*

3 stars for annoying sound effects and because hard version- 5 across - has two choices of yellow. Im not color blind but honestly the difference in the two yellows is negligible. Honestly, with so many colors available u cant get that right? Should be an easyfix. Terrible oversight.

### 5/5 — Stroke

*2020-06-15, version 1.80*

Unfortunately, at the age of 40 I had a brain bleed resulting in a stroke. This program helped me focus and concentrate to regain functionality.

### 5/5 — Juego

*2020-05-23, version 1.80*

Muy interesante y promueve el pensamiento lógico

### 5/5 — It is good

*2020-04-03*

This game is really good it needs a smart person 👍🏽👍🏽☺️

### 5/5 — Excellent old remake

*2020-01-19, version 1.80*

Never get board of this board game

### 3/5 — Emmett

### 1/5 — Don’t install

*2023-02-14, version 1.80*

I’ve had this game for a while and enjoy it, but I recently opened it after I had used the Copy function in another app and had text saved to my clipboard. When I opened this game I got an alert from IOS that the game was asking to paste my clipboard contents. There’s no reason the game would need to paste my clipboard contents unless it’s being used to collect private info on users. Very disappointing from an app developer I thought I could trust.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns

*2021-10-02, version 1.80*

Every time this app starts, it snoops the clipboard on your device. That's a great way to have a password stolen. No thanks.

### 1/5 — What does Optime do with your data?

*2021-04-07, version 1.80*

Great game, but don’t like the way it copies data from my clipboard without asking. 
Quite worrying that the app copies your clipboard to its app every time you open it and uploads data in the background.

### 1/5 — Do NOT get this game - excessive forced Ads

*2020-06-16, version 1.80*

This game could be awesome.....but rather than a game, it is NOTHING MORE than an AD GENERATOR, which forces Ad viewing before EACH round of game play. Just don’t waste your time with this deceitful download. 

Honestly, Apple could do a much better job than what has become common for its low standards.

### 1/5 — FIX IT!!!!

*2020-03-11, version 1.80*

This is a fun game, but the game is NOT CONSTANT. You can place the same balls in the same hole, but the hints( black, white, no ball) change. All the time it’s not constant with what you put in. Fix this and I will be happy to change my rating

### 1/5 — The game doesn’t make sense

*2020-01-14, version 1.80*

The game doesn’t make sense in how to play it says grey is right colour, right space, white is right colour, wrong space and empty is wrong colour, wrong space but while playing, the game doesn’t follow those rules. Am I missing something??

### 1/5 — Switches Answers

*2020-01-06, version 1.80*

I might not fully understand the game or something, but I think this game keeps switching the answers around - in the first level I’ll enter colors and some will be marked correct, and when I move to my second guess the color in the same space will be marked wrong. Is that how this is supposed to work?

### 1/5 — Guess code

*2019-02-18, version 1.80*

I have eliminated this game.  I am so sick of having to look at that silly little man.  I have eliminated all of his games.  In Guess Code I got all the places right but one.  How can only one be the right color but in the wrong space? What would you swap it with.  I would keep trying if it weren’t for having to look at that stupid  grinning little man.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2019-01-08, version 1.80*

This app used to be great and a lot of fun, but now they have stuck in these advertisements that are impossible to close so you can’t even get to the game anymore.

### 1/5 — Spammed!

*2018-10-28, version 1.80*

Pop up Ads show HIGHLY inappropriate clips!!! I MUST delete this app immediately because my kids use my phone.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-03-30, version 1.80*

This is really helpful if you want to test your brain and you like the game mastermind.(I love this game and so dose my family) Thank you too anyone that made this game.

### 5/5 — Simple, fun, but hard to master!

*2024-07-25, version 1.80*

I love games from this company. They're fun, you don't need wifi to play, and there are no ads! It's fun thinking about the different combinations you have to think of. It's a great game that uses strategy, planning and lots thinking to get the code! Not only that, but you can make the game harder by allowing repeat colors, or empty spaces into the code. You get a lot of tries to guess right too. I recommend playing this game for car rides, or passing the time. I have it with some other apps that I use when I have no wifi.

### 5/5 — This Game Is Awesome

*2023-10-16, version 1.80*

This game is really great as it requires no Wi-Fi and ads aren’t frequent at all. The puzzles are in three difficulties which allows you to choose your level. I 100% recommend this game if you like puzzles!!!!! 😁👍

### 5/5 — Code

*2023-04-04, version 1.80*

love it so much ❤️

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2023-01-11*

Un vrai masters mind comme à l’ancienne très simple d’utilisation

### 5/5 — This app is the best

*2022-04-09, version 1.80*

This app is amazing, it helps me with  learning skills and not only does that it all gives me fun educational learning.

### 5/5 — Play for more

*2022-02-01, version 1.80*

Great game, very fun, but empty. There’s the game and nothing else, and makes me contemplate deleting it after loving the main game bit. What if you added a daily one, like super challenging but solvable. Or make levels to it, like level one is simple, level two, and so on. I would also like a rewards system. What is the point of the stars we get once we complete it? However these are only suggestions from a long time player.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-09-23, version 1.80*

Great game, works just like the original board game but with options for codes of 3,4 or 5 colours.I like that you can select whether to allow empty spaces, which makes it easier to check which part of your code is correct-helpful when you are first playing. Makes you concentrate, especially with the 5 colour code.No intrusive adds.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, no complications

*2021-07-18, version 1.80*

Refreshing to see an app that does as promised without trying to sell premium offerings. Can be tailored for all levels of players easily. My whole family is enjoying this  app.

### 5/5 — Amazing game 10 out of 10

*2020-09-08, version 1.80*

Fun,addictive and simple
I love how it has multiple difficultys but it could use more colors for hard and medium
Otherwise it's great for road trips and more
