### 4/5 — ADD MORE LEVELS!!! Pleaseeeee

*2026-07-03, version 12.80*

PLEASE ADD MORE LEVELS!!! That are just the black, the colored ones are not as challenging. Please!!!!!

### 5/5 — Reply

### 3/5 — Why no updates??

*2024-11-10, version 12.77*

This game is fun to play but the developers do not provide any updates to the game.  I paid for VIP and there are no games for me to play without replaying the ones I’ve already completed.  With the exception of rare master games, there have been no updates in over a year.  I would suggest that no one pay for VIP.

### 5/5 — Loved but time to leave

*2024-11-08, version 12.77*

I truly loved this game and will miss it. Been on it for years but I have completed all. I’ll miss it. 
Wish I could find another app as enjoyable. I would highly recommend this app.

### 3/5 — What happened

*2024-11-07, version 12.77*

Does this game still even have a developer? I don’t get it, update but literally nothing new or a Facebook pace that’s current. It’s weird.

### 1/5 — Need new regular levels

*2024-07-03, version 12.72*

I use to love playing this game, but I finished all the regular levels and they only add special levels now that require a Master Pass ticket. Even with a paid subscription, which I have, it is impossible to get tickets so I can no longer play.  Contacted the company but they were not very helpful and did not seem to care that a paying customer could no longer play. No longer paying until they start adding regular levels again.

### 1/5 — イベントが出来ない

*2024-03-04*

イベント(マスターパス)が表示されなくなってしまいました

### 5/5 — One of my faves but…

*2023-11-21*

I’ve been playing this for several years. I beat all of the levels (except locked holiday packs I had missed) a couple years ago. With no way to really earn coins, I couldn’t buy Master Tickets. 
I finally broke down and uninstalled the game… then reinstalled. I was placed in the tutorial as I had hoped. When I beat the level, I was prompted for the cloud/local save and shoot. I thought my plan was ruined. 
But nope. It didn’t load any of the saves and I’ve been able to restart the entire game. 

And I subscribe at the lowest tier (as I had in the past). 
Are the holiday packs going to be unlocked?  Even before the restart, no packs became available during holiday events. 

I do hope many, many puzzles are added (black and white preferred lol)

### 1/5 — No more photos

*2023-11-19, version 12.59*

I finished Vegetables and Fruit photo as well as completed 48 puzzles on the locations including Africa and Oceania and I have not had any new photos for months. There is an event coming up and I have no puzzles. This was the only game on my phone and I have updated the game.

### 1/5 — Scammy pop-up ad

*2023-11-06, version 12.57*

I used to love this game even with the ads all over it, but there’s a new one that randomly takes you out of the game to a fake Amazon prime app saying you won something. It’s happened three times to me just this morning, or I wouldn’t have written a review. Y’all are shady now.
