### 1/5 — Kyodai prime 3D

*2017-05-10*

Attention le jeu est en anglais seulement, j'ai dépenser $1.39 pour le rien.

### 3/5 — Does not keep track of wins

*2014-03-08*

The graphics are very nice and there are many layouts. However it does not keep track of which layouts I have won. Also, maybe because I wasn't online the first time I played it, but it never set up my user name properly. It also crashes when I try to create my own game layout and play it. It may be necessary to reset the iPad after crashes to get the game to start again after a crash. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times to no avail. The developer gives no support -- emails are unanswered after many months. You're on your own with this one if it's not working properly.

### 5/5 — New twists to a great game!
