Unfortunately, now the faster animation option is stuck behind a paywall, and there’s been more ads lately. This just seems like a blatant cash grab and it sucks that I’ll have to try and find another game like this now. ### 3/5 — So close to good *2025-07-23, version 1.3.2* Great game…but so frustrated by the, EVEN WHEN OPTIMIZED WITH MINIMUM ANIMATION, slowww animation. I’m so much faster than this game lets me play. ### 3/5 — So close to good *2025-07-01, version 1.3.1* Great game…but so frustrated by the, even when optimized, slowww animation. I’m so much faster than this game lets me play. ### 4/5 — Love the game - little tweaks *2024-08-30* Great game! Love it. Only things that I would change is having non-comfort colors on the movable pieces. And then when selecting a piece to move, have the piece raise up instead of lighting up the stick that you selected. I’m looking at the movable pieces, not the stick.. Additionally, the processing time is really slow (could be my connection, but doubtful as I have played on multiple WiFi connections as well as full 5G cellular connections), it has given me issues when trying to select a piece to move and will not register my tap while playing. Playing on IPhone 15 promax. All in all, 5 stars if it wasn’t for my personal preferences lol… **Developer response:** Lighting up the selected piece may be considered in the future release. By the way you can set a faster moving time in settings. ### 4/5 — A game that will last your lifetime. *2024-08-09* It took me 16mins to finish a stack of 10… I did some calculations, if you play as fast as me and were to play about 4hrs a day it would take about 45yrs to finish this app. Better get started 😁 ### 3/5 — Tedious *2024-08-04* The game is fun at first. But then once you get going and figure out the pattern it just gets tiresome. It would at least be nice if you could automate the flipping of the first three, which is done over and over throughout the game. The ads are not too bad. They are long, worthless and annoying and the banner at the bottom contains some ridiculous ads. But it is mostly unobtrusive. Ultimately the game is just tiresome and lacks any real challenge once you figure the pattern out. ### 4/5 — Too sensitive. *2024-06-16* Seems overly sensitive — disks I didn’t tap going to shafts I didn’t tap. And would be great if players could save partially completed games and restart from a save point rather than having to start all overto get a perfect score. ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-04-09, version 1.3.1* This is a great game. Just wish you could drag and drop much quicker. Have played other versions where the dragging is much quicker and more responsive. Being able to move with speed is necessary especially if you ever want to complete level 26 with its 64 million moves required lol. No one will ever fully beat this game. You’ll run out of life span before you ever do 😂 ### 2/5 — Omg the ads *2024-01-03, version 1.3.1* Long tortuous ads every time you start a level. If there’s a way to turn them off it is well hidden (probably need to watch an add to get to settings). The game itself works fine. Graphics are boring but effective. ### 3/5 — Slower than the brain *2023-12-08* The animations to play this game has an option to be sped up, but even the faster animations are too slow for me as a player. As a speed runner of ToH, the animations need to be nonexistent for competitive play, otherwise the timer has no value on this app. I would also like to see the disks and pillars minimized in size. The visual clutter does bog down faster players. I won’t recommend this app until they accommodate ToH speed runners. **Developer response:** Hmmm..you can choose "Tap to move disk" option in settings, and sorry for not catching up your speed, it's not a running game after all. ### 3/5 — Good but needs an improvement *2023-09-16, version 1.3.1* Good game and well built but I like to move extremely quickly and sometimes my moves are too quick to register. I’d like a no animation mode. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-07-24, version 1.3.0* First level so basically 3 moves and adverts I see where this is going. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-07-19, version 1.3.0* For such a basic game, it has too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS *2025-06-08, version 1.3.1* Lame af ### 1/5 — Got 4 ads just trying to play the first level *2025-06-03, version 1.3.1* I’m okay with some ads, but this is insanely excessive ### 1/5 — Do not download this. *2025-04-08, version 1.3.1* Every second when I left the app for even a second, or when a battery notification came up, a ad would pop up. Fix this! Nobody will want to play your game if we are getting ads left and right! ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-09-26, version 1.3.1* Fun for the 3 seconds you get to actually play it. But ads are shoved down your throat every other move. ### 1/5 — Adds *2024-09-23, version 1.3.1* Too many adds for so small and simple game ### 1/5 — Another fun game littered with ads *2024-06-22, version 1.3.1* Another example of an IOS game that I would enjoy and would continue to play if it had 1/5th the amount of ads. Unskippable ads before and after every single level and I had to watch 4 full length ads before I played level 2 since the tutorial gets them before and after as well. ### 1/5 — Ad generator. *2024-04-30, version 1.3.1* Basic design. You get an ad after every round. ### 1/5 — Ad ad ad *2024-01-30, version 1.3.1* First few levels were good. Now on every 4-5 moves there’s an ad which disrupts the flow of that level. Only game I’ve played with ads, yes plural, during the level. ### 1/5 — Adds *2024-01-16, version 1.3.1* Plays an add every time you open a level, registers you trying to close the add but doesn’t close. ### 1/5 — Unplayable garbage *2024-01-05, version 1.3.1* There are ads before and after every mission. It takes less than ten seconds to “solve” the first one. You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hanoi tower *2025-10-12* This game is awesome! It is nice because it gets you thinking and it sharpens the mind. So far I have down loaded it and played and now I am sitting on my couch watching Billy Madison. It is a really good game. The only thing I do not like are the adds that is the only flaw I have had. All In all it a great game! ### 5/5 — This isn’t possible *2025-10-01* there’s 26 levels and with every level it adds an extra block. everytime you add a block the minimum number of moves is multiplied by 2 and plus 1. which means by level 26 you would have to make 67,108,863 moves MINIMUM to complete the game. great game tho ### 5/5 — So engaging! *2025-07-07* I don’t do reviews often, I have a ton of apps. But I’ll say that Hanoi towers is great for my brain! It is challenging and intriguing. Took me many times to pass the level 6, now I’ve got 7 and I’m gearing up! ### 5/5 — 🖤 *2025-03-01* Эта игра развевает мозг!!!! ### 5/5 — Makes my brain smarter *2024-09-29, version 1.3.1* It good ### 5/5 — Solid tower of Hanoi mobile game *2024-05-29* Great to see a working tower of Hanoi game on mobile again. There are some ads but they are fairly short and don't pop up often (thanks devs!). The game is user friendly and clean with some quality of life settings you can change so definitely check the settings once you start. I would note for anyone coming to play, that you almost certainly will not beat the largest puzzle. The minimum number of moves for that one is over 67 million. If you took one second per move, it would take you over two years to complete. That is assuming you make zero mistakes and never take your eyes off the game in that time. It does save your board state so you could technically do it while having a regular life, but it would likely take decades and you would have to make sure your phone survives that long as well as be able to recognize exactly where you were in the puzzle based on the board state, which can be difficult because the first easy state to recognize will take over a year to get to. You can recognize harder states if you have trained your eyes, but imagine having to do this for a 67 million step puzzle. How many board states would you need to be able to recognize? Far too many I think. ### 5/5 — I will find you’r home… and say thank you *2023-07-25* I am now at level 10 and I need to take 1023 steps... There are 26 levels in this game... Am I right in thinking that the last level needs 67,108,863 steps? Now I do about 2-4 steps per second. If I don’t get confused and don’t stop, will I need 259 days of pure time? If I die, bury me under the developer's house so my damned spirit won't let him out until he rearranges these figures 67,108,863 times. ❤️ **Developer response:** Your life is like this game, there is still a long way to go ;-) ### 5/5 — Incredible *2023-07-11* This game has lots of good features and it’s great. I have so much fun just completing chipping away at the harder levels and trying to perfect my score. I love mastering the algorithm and getting faster and faster. Only two problems. First of all, the leaderboards. There are multiple hackers at the top of a few leaderboards that have completely impossible scores. I believe on level 13 someone has a score of 5. Second of all, it’s very, very hard to notice, but, when you notice it it completely sets of your concentration. The discs slightly vibrate up and down a pixel or 2 very fast. I don’t think about it often, but when I stop to breath to continue playing my level I see the vibrating discs and sometimes I completely forget what I’m doing. One time it caused me to mess up level 13 ~1800 moves in. If these problems are fixed this might just be my favorite game! Edit: Thanks for fixing the level 13 leaderboard, I also noticed level 10 has a score of 1022, 1 below the best possible score of 1023. Edit: Level 10, Level 9, Level 7, and Level 4 all have impossible scores. Thanks for fixing level 13! **Developer response:** Level 13 did have invalid score, and it's removed. Please let me know if you find any other hack score. About gaming, Don't be disturbed by slight vibrations, the duel between masters is to focus. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2023-07-02* This game has lots of good features and it’s great.
