### 4/5 — Needs an update but great app!

*2021-03-05*

I love this app. It’s perfect for relaxation. They recently added adds and now my app glitches every time the adds appear. My screen goes blank. I have to delete and re add the app every time. Very frustrating. But I’m so addicted that I constantly re add the app

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2020-12-13*

Now that it’s been 8 years or so since the developer has touched this, it has become unplayable.  Long before a game is complete, the screen vanishes, the game closes, and will never come up again.  That’s a shame — I enjoyed playing it while I could.  Zero stars, really.  If the game closes by itself, it gets removed from my iPad.

### 5/5 — Can't stop playing

*2013-11-20*

Love this!  Love the look. It is frustrating when a gesture is misinterpreted, but I'm still playing, so it isn't bothering me too much
