## What is Mastermind for iOS 10?

If you like the classic Mastermind™ game, then you will love this digital version of the Mastermind game. The game play is easy to adopt, and more addictive than ever in this great looking code breaking game, designed to fit the Apple iOS design.

You play against the computer and have ten tries to guess a hidden color code. After each try, you get a hint to see how many colors you have correct. 

• Can you find the code?
• How fast can you crush the code?
• Are you a code crusher?

Beware. You can play it for hours on end, trying to crush the code.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Mastermind for iOS is a classic puzzle game. The goal is to guess the hidden color combinations / code. Your opponent (iPhone, iPad or iPod) creates a combination of up to four colors and hides them at the top of the game board. Your task is to try out different color combinations until you match the hidden code.

The challenge is to pick the correct color code as quickly as possible — in other words, to see how fast you can guess the hidden color combination, become a code crusher and get on the high score list!

### 3/5 — Omg why?

*2025-01-30, version 3.0*

Oh my god why can't I make the code mastermind needs an upgrade

### 5/5 — Great logic sharpening game!

*2024-05-15, version 3.0*

Its not just about mindlessly crushing fruit! 
Its about logically determining an invisible color code through efficient, well reasoned moves in the shortest time and fewest moves.

Needs more and better analytics to satisfy the player for progress against themselves and the competition.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-05-11, version 3.0*

Love this Mastermind!

### 5/5 — A great old game made new!

*2024-04-21*

If your looking to sharpen your logic then Mastermind is exactly what you need. It is normally solvable to 4 to 6 stages so you shouldn’t need all 10. The development team needs to now quickly add competition metrics, individual stats, and also sharpen the controls for speed and functionality. One of my new, old favourites come back to life!

### 3/5 — Make it more easier

*2024-04-06, version 3.0*

Please make it more easily for little kids

### 2/5 — App Won't Let Me Pay for Ad-Free Version

*2024-01-31, version 3.0*

The only reason I switched from being a loyal Code Breaker player (14 years and counting), is because they started adding these annoying ads that all Apps are adding (no doubt to keep the lights on). You have to close out the app and reopen. I don't mind supporting the engineers and paying for an ad-free version, and your app states that there is an ad-free paid version available (yes!). I downloaded your app, and I was happy to upgrade, but I'm getting a pop up error stating that I cannot purchase an upgrade at this time. I hope you're doing a release tonight or something? Also, I just played (very fun) the 7 and 8 color code options, but the pegs are wrong. I solved 3 of the 4 colors, and had tried using the other 5 (none of which triggered a white or black peg). My ego is annoyed that I had to resort to using 3 hints. Actually, the 3rd hint wasn't usable, because it was my last turn. When I clicked on the last hint, I simply received a hilarious 'you've failed' pop up stating that I couldn't use the last hint AND the correct code was never revealed!? lol... am I so tired that I've gone mad?? Lastly, please ditch this upgrade hint debacle, it's a bit messy reading so many options and prices. Just have one 'ultimate' hints package, or a 'mother of all packages' package (sounds like a euphemism, maybe not a great idea ha) including all hints and no ads?? It's like having a ransom note that keeps adding different scenarios and fee structures - just make me pay or leave it be (imho). Oh, one last lastly, replace your colors with more vibrant modern versions (keeps the eyes and brain excited). Just my 5 cents. The more annoyances (hinderances) you place in the way of smooth play, the more customers you will lose (permanently). I'm sticking it out until tomorrow to see if: 1. I hear from you directly, or 2. Your checkout works. It's a fantastic app, you guys are talented... just please fix the peg bug/logic and the upgrade pyramid scheme!! :)

### 3/5 — Achievements aren’t working….

*2023-11-19, version 3.0*

Otherwise, great game!

### 4/5 — Mastermind

*2023-10-22, version 3.0*

Really good but quite addictive and hard

### 4/5 — Does so many things right 👍

*2023-06-20*

Graphically clean, perfectly laid out, this is what that game of Mastermind on an iPad/iPhone should be.

Version: I paid $.99 to remove ads.  

The sounds are good, the graphics are flat (stylistically, in a good way), buttons are the right size, etc. 

Absolutely 4 1/2 stars. May be higher.

Minor nitpicks: don’t like the massive Twitter & Facebook logos that pop up after a victory: “POST YOUR SCORE TO TWEETBOOK, GRANDPA!!!”  

Consider a share button, or an opt out setting. 

Anyway, fantastic app - think I’ll go play now :-)

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2023-01-29, version 3.0*

I allwaysed wanted to get smarter
And then I got smarter
