The graphics are ok but the interactions where you have to in put your answer are primitive It’s an ok game but the ads spoil it. I get that ads keep it free but to get rid it’s something like £4.99 a week which is far too much. ### 3/5 — Buyout for ads *2026-08-29, version 6.3* $4.99 per WEEK! to get rid of ads!! You must be kidding!!!!! ### 3/5 — Less adds *2026-08-27, version 6.3* Less adds and it would be five star ### 3/5 — A lot off addsss!!! Ad is more than game *2026-08-23, version 6.3* A lot off addsss!!! Ad is more than game ### 1/5 — Worst game *2026-08-22, version 6.3* Too much add only . Very poor tasks ### 1/5 — Too many commercials! *2026-08-22, version 6.3* Difficult to enjoy the game when you’re constantly interrupted!! ### 1/5 — Could be good but *2026-08-22, version 6.3* Far too many ad's, for one game needed to flip the phone but nothing happened so tried the hint and it said flip the phone, I realised I had the lock on so went to unlock the vertical screen lock came back to the game and was punished with another ad before I could carry on! 😡 ### 1/5 — Ad farm that doesn’t lead to a game *2026-08-22, version 6.3* It’s literally just ads, most of the time I open the app it plays so many ads it doesn’t even get to the game. Definitely not worth it. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-22, version 6.3* To many ads ### 3/5 — IQ boost *2026-08-22, version 6.3* Its really fun but there is way to many adds ### 4/5 — Brilliant game *2026-08-21, version 6.3* It’s a really good puzzle game that gets your brain thinking outside the box and gives you plenty of opportunities to get extra hints!! Fantastic!! ❤️but now there’s an ad after nearly every level 😡 ### 2/5 — To many ads *2026-08-20, version 6.3* Can’t learn the game due to so many ads befordd ed you can learn it ### 1/5 — Too many ads from the beginning *2026-08-19, version 6.3* Deleted the app due to amount of ads from the beginning of playing. Not worth the hassle. More ads than playing. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-19, version 6.3* Not what is advertised… way too many ads . Cant even play… useless ### 2/5 — More ads than usual *2026-08-19, version 6.3* Ads are also too long ### 3/5 — ads, Ads, ADS, ADS!!!!!! *2026-08-19, version 6.3* Fun and challenging game, would get 4 or 5 stars if it weren’t for ALL OF THE DAMN ADS!! 🤬🤬 HUGE TURN OFF! ### 3/5 — Wait, do not get this game until you hear what I have to say *2026-08-19, version 6.3* Listen if you have young kids really young there are some inappropriate little abs. There was a girl in dressing room with a guy think about your kids. Do you want your kids to see something like that. And there’s so many ads and there’s so long I had to watch three ads just to get back to the game and have to watch three ads to skip a level and they want you to pay for extra coins every time you’re out and if you want more coins, you have to wait until tomorrow to get more or buy them or get them with ads. Do not get this game. It’s very stressful and it’s not relaxing. ### 1/5 — Communicating badly then acting smug when misunderstood is not cleverness. *2026-08-18, version 6.3* Setting aside the high volume of ads that has me uninstalling this app within 15 minutes of installing it, the puzzles are poorly made. Some of them do call on lateral thinking, but for the most part, the solutions are contrived. Some of the puzzles I actually solved accidentally when trying to figure out how the objects are meant to be interacted with. One puzzle I soft-locked then had to watch an ad to reset. The one that made me give up on the app just straight up glitched - after getting stuck I loaded up a hint and the hint said “Don’t forget to [do a thing I had already done]”. It feels like being given a problem to solve by a kid, the kind where when you give the most logical answer which turns out is not the right answer because suddenly there’s an additional factor that they didn’t mention at the start. You just go into them thinking “Okay, what nonsensical hidden action is going to be the solution to this one?”. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-30, version 6.3* Too many ads. The remove ads is a weekly subscription and not a one time fee. I recognized this immediately. If you want some good brain teasers and are willing to pay for them this is going to do that. Graphics need help. I didn’t like this, but I’m not going to say that you won’t. ### 1/5 — This is a catalog not a game *2026-08-28, version 6.3* Every action you make becomes an ad. Solve one puzzle that takes four seconds? You get an ad AND you have to click through their screen ad every time you try to play. The other Brain Game app is far better and very few ads. ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2026-08-27, version 6.3* I unfortunately clicked on subscribe when I was distracted. The graphics suck and the puzzles are childish. I’m only rating this 1 star because there isn’t a minus 10. Continuous adds even though I’ve been subscribed. Do not waste your money. This is way belowsub par ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads! *2026-08-27, version 6.3* What is it with most games now, they want money straight away, who does this, then barely two minutes of gameplay before inundated with adverts 30 seconds to a minute long requiring multiple clicks to end. This game is no different. Some interesting puzzles but then the ads. I deleted it straight away. ### 1/5 — Nono *2026-08-26, version 6.3* So many adds levels impossible to beat and when you do there not enough I beat this game in 1 hour ### 1/5 — A lot of Ads *2026-08-26, version 6.3* So many ads ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel *2026-08-26, version 6.3* I have been trying to cancel this app for days. There’s no logical way to do it. I run into a catch 22 situation every time. I have contacted support with no response. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-26, version 6.3* Half the puzzles don’t even make sense ### 1/5 — Wants me to gamble *2026-08-23, version 6.3* Looked like a fun game when I saw it in an ad. Downloaded the app and it immediately wanted me to spend $5 per week to eliminate ads. That was annoying. Then on “Level 3” it told me to tap on the largest water drop after which it asked if I wanted to play for money. I hit “no”, and it then took me out of the app to a website where it tried to sell me on gambling. I couldn’t delete the app faster. ### 1/5 — All “rotate” levels broken *2026-08-23, version 6.3* All the levels where you must rotate the phone to solve are broken. Must spend 3 hints to skip. Also way too many ads. And costs $5 A WEEK to stop them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hevar *2026-08-27, version 6.3* The good game ### 5/5 — Fun but ads *2026-08-20, version 6.3* You can purchase no ads but every two levels is an ad. ### 5/5 — It is very fun *2026-08-18, version 6.3* It is very fun ### 5/5 — If you got a small brain play this *2026-07-31, version 6.3* 5 ### 5/5 — Makes you think *2026-07-25, version 6.3* Games are fun for a quick get away ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-06, version 6.3* Great way to take up time ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-21, version 6.3* Play this game in my Grandson and he does awesome ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-06-03, version 6.3* it really helps out for those that r struggling. I thank yall so much everyday. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2026-05-10, version 6.2* It’s a great way to start your day off with education! ### 5/5 — Just the right type of challenging *2026-05-02* I’m impressed with the variation between levels. I appreciate when stumped there is a gentle hint to introduce another way of thinking. This game can sometimes, literally, involve the box in hand. Still under 75 levels played, so I feel I’m still learning the game. **Developer response:** Thanks, KoolaidKiss. We’re so glad the challenge and gentle hints are hitting the right balance as you keep discovering new levels. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
