Play this game all the time, but the game has major flaws now. Played a game against the computer and won, but the game said the other player won. Just won a game with a high score and the game said draw. What is going on?

Terribly glitchy - not worth the $.99

Playing on the Apple TV app and this game is awful and glitchy. The glitches in the game are so bad that, at first, I thought that I had somehow forgotten the rules. The marbles don’t seed properly, they render wherever they please, they don’t capture where they are supposed to, and they didn’t allow me to get any free turns when I was supposed to.

I want my $1 back.

Thanks!

Thank you for the Swift tutorials (Google Hacking with Swift ;) ).

Need For Speed

First off this has always been a great app and one I use nearly every day whilst I commute or wait for meeting etc. I used it so much think this is the first time I've ever been compelled to write a review. Usually don't care enough.

No doubt the tech update behind the new version is huge but I have stopped using the app - for now at least. The response time of the beads is just too slow. Whilst visually the movement looks great. It just makes playing a fast game too frustrating.
