### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-09-25*

One of the favorite iOS games our family been playing for many years!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2022-04-19*

Really fun to play .

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2020-11-07, version 1.4.0*

I have been playing this game for several years now and still love it.

### 5/5 — Awesome game I have had for years

*2020-08-20*

Thank you for continued developer support with iOS

### 4/5 — Sympa

*2018-12-27, version 1.4.0*

Ce jeu mériterait d'être un peu plus poussé.

### 1/5 — Цена

*2017-10-29, version 1.4.0*

Почему сняли 150₽? Цена стоит 75₽???

### 1/5 — What Happened?

*2017-08-12*

Yikes!  I just removed my old version of this favorite game & downloaded the new version.  I can't read any of the text; seeing to buy village objects is impossible.  Oh, I hope they fix this.  It would be a shame to see a great game meet its demise this way.

### 3/5 — Fun, BUT

*2017-03-16*

The text is WAY too small. I can't read a thing! I don't think the app is worth $4.99. I had high hopes for this game.

### 1/5 — Где русский язык, господа разработчики???

*2016-10-26, version 1.4.0*

Отлично выполненная игра по мотивам эпоса "Калевала". Возникает вопрос, зачем вы сделали эту игру? Если не переводите на русский язык, так не приплетайте громкие названия, назовите просто - "три в ряд". Если же хотите донести до людей всю прелесть произведения, в честь которого названа игра, в первую очередь, нужно добавлять русский язык!!! Задумка на пять звёзд, реализовано на пять звёзд, отсутствие русского языка - минус девять звёзд.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-10-17*

Thanks for updating love the graphics very soothing
