Has an animal name in it ### 4/5 — Great adaptation! *2026-08-04, version 2.0.26* Awesome game. Lots of fun. No major flaws. ### 4/5 — Great game, but needs work *2026-08-03, version 2.0.26* Agree with the User about too many bots. Your bot programming is unrealistic because due to the laws of randomness, no one can get five in a row without a wildcard in five plays. Also- It’s difficult to play when two players have similar chip colors. You cannot easily differentiate your chips from your opponents. Can you please add automation to put one players to a default color if both players chips are in the same color family? ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-07-20, version 2.0.25* This is a very good game , however too many ads and there isn’t a one time payment they require a subscription. And Will You Guys Ever Bring Back The 3 Player Mode ? ### 3/5 — Unhappy *2026-07-14, version 2.0.24* I haven’t been enjoying the game as much after the last couple of updates. My sister’s winning a lot more now than she used to. ### 4/5 — Fun Game. *2026-07-10, version 2.0.23* I like the updates you are making. but the requests for rematches still do not seem to be working. I do otherwise enjoy the game. ### 2/5 — Ruined by new pricing and ads *2026-07-06, version 2.0.23* I played this game for a long time and would pay for three or so months of ad free play at a time. The pricing was not as good as a one time cost but not awful. I got a new device and stopped playing because it never worked to sign in and save my progress. That was so frustrating since I had every chip. I stopped for about a year and recently came back. Still love the game but it is completely ruined by the constant ad interruptions. The new pricing model to remove ads is ridiculous. No good options and so much pricier now. I’m sad. It am going to have to give this game up. Can’t believe such a great game is so ruined by sooooo many ads now and no great options to avoid them. This one makes me sad but looking for a different version. ### 2/5 — Computer Opponents *2026-07-05, version 2.0.23* Recently I’ve noticed all my opponents have moves immediately next to their previous chip…for every move. It’s clear that I’m playing against computers, no human has chips that consistent. All of a sudden I’m losing every game. It’s disappointing because I used to love this game. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-06-29, version 2.0.23* This is a very good game , however too many ads and there isn’t a one time payment they require a subscription. And the 3 player mode was removed can u guys bring it back please ! ### 3/5 — don't fix what ain't broke *2026-06-28, version 2.0.22* old version was better ### 4/5 — Please fix *2026-06-17, version 2.0.22* Please go back to the newest card is on the right. ### 2/5 — The game update!! *2026-06-16, version 2.0.22* I love this game, and it was fun to play, but since the update there is no option to watch ads for tickets!! This means I can’t play 60 second games without paying for tickets. Quite disappointing. ### 2/5 — Price increases ruined the game *2026-06-10, version 2.0.21* I love the is game. I became addicted quickly after downloading! I paid a reasonable price to be ad free, and it was perfect. Unfortunately after only 1 month of playing the price to play without ads is 6x higher! It ruined the game. I’m so bummed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Expense *2026-08-09, version 2.0.27* The ad free version used to be affordable, but no longer. Bring back the old pricing. $50 a month for two people to play each other one game a day. As a senior citizen who has played my daughter for years, it is no longer in my budget. Very sad. ### 1/5 — Multiplayer mode 1vs1vs1 or 2vs2 was removed *2026-07-31, version 2.0.25* Why you guys take off the multiplayer mode????? It was fun now its not ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-30, version 2.0.25* Algorithm is trash. Cards are NOT dealt randomly. You’ll be set up for disappointment. Not to mention they recently changed the No-Ad buyout. $5/week people. Such a scam. ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2026-07-29, version 2.0.25* I have used this app for several years to play one game every night remotely with my 87 year old mom. The no ad option now costs $24.99 for 30 days. I think we used to play for 3 months for around $7.99. We’ll have to find another game that does cost an outrageous increase in price. So sad!!! ### 1/5 — Used to be okay, too expensive now *2026-07-23, version 2.0.25* The app has always been glitchy. Now it’s not only glitchy but is expensive. Better apps exist. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-20, version 2.0.25* Algorithm is trash. Cards are NOT dealt randomly. You’ll be set up for disappointment. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-12, version 2.0.23* Algorithm is trash. Cards are NOT dealt randomly. You’ll be set up for disappointment. ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! Game still glitching/Scam of a game app *2026-06-21, version 2.0.22* They offered to give me my points back. Game is still glitching. This is trash. I wish someone else made this game because I love it. I hate it so much. Paid $5 for 100 tickets. Game continued to glitch. Deleted the app and redownloaded it and it deleted all my 100 tickets. SCAM. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-06-15, version 2.0.22* The ads structure is destroying the game. Going to look for an alternative sequence game option. ### 1/5 — RIGGED APP *2026-06-01, version 2.0.20* Updated review: My entire family and I play this game daily. It USED to be my wind down time after dinner. I used to have a great record with this game and now I find myself losing 6 games in a row. My husband says he feels it’s rigged depending on how much you play. Idk. I literally try the best strategies and for some reason I am always lacking a card I need to get a line, and crazily enough the other player gets lines more easily. I tried being a good sport about it a few days but after today I’m just done. This used to be a relaxing game now it’s just playing frustrating lol. Deleting. Rather play with REAL PEOPLE with a board game in person with my family. ✌🏼 The updates are great, took some getting used to the updated board. I miss the old “victory” and “defeat” screens after winning or losing a game, it felt more celebratory. My main complaint is in regard to watching a video ad to earn a ticket 🎟️ to use to play a new game. The game says you will earn 1 ticket after watching 1 ad but after watching an ad, I don’t earn the ticket. I tried exiting out the app, clearing my tabs and restarting the app and my ticket is still not there. I have to repeat the process 2-3 times before I earn (1) ticket. Kind of a rip off for me and not up to par with the instructions hopefully this gets fixed quick. My husband and I play this game every night after dinner as a way to wind down so it’s a little frustrating and discouraging to use the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sequence *2026-08-25, version 2.0.28* Would be better without the ads popping up every few minutes ### 5/5 — Love the game! *2026-08-17, version 2.0.28* This is the best virtual game of sequence! There is a bug that needs to be fixed as playing the game is sometime unavailable only practice is useable. ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-07-17, version 2.0.25* I love the game but the 24 hrs used to be 24 hrs after one player plays. Giving folks busy time to do life stuff and return to their play. I have noticed that has changed to game ending if a round goes over 24 hrs. Player 1 plays then the round used to be you had 24 hrs to play your turn but i have been getting games ending before a player reaches 24 hrs since the last time they played. Please clarify ### 5/5 — Also need algorithm fix… *2026-07-15, version 2.0.24* When a sequence of 5 tokens is first recorded and it is part of a string of 6 or more tokens, the identified 5 tokens needs to be recorded at the far edge or corner of the play board of that string, not toward the center of the board which then eliminates the ability to have an adjoining 5 token string. I can send pictures of where this was done incorrectly if needed. ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-07-09, version 2.0.23* Love how you can play at your own pace and can change your avatar & pieces. ### 5/5 — Free games *2026-06-27, version 2.0.22* In the old version we used to receive 5 free games weekly. I am disappointed that this feature has stopped. I love the game but I really miss the little freebies. It made me feel valued. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-06-06* Favourite game out there. 😊 ### 5/5 — Julie *2026-06-05, version 2.0.21* It’s a good game but I don’t line the Updated version ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-06-03, version 2.0.20* A lot of fun ### 5/5 — Messed up a great game *2026-06-01, version 2.0.20* This used to be a game that I played with my wife at dinner every day! Not some days. Every day. That fun. I paid for lifetime no ads. No it has been redone to be full of ads and every other turn is an ad for me. And the longest period of time you can pay for no ads is $25 a month. You ruined a great game for greed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
