### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-07-04, version 1.0.0*

It’s so bad, it literally going straight through the lines

### 5/5 — awesome

*2024-07-21, version 1.0.0*

it’ll solve puzzles by going on the outside so block it and it will do the inside

### 4/5 — Very good work

*2024-03-05*

It works as intended at no cost, only problem was with a rectangular maze it went around the outside but I closed the maze with a pencil and then it solved as normal

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-05-11*

This app is really bad, can’t solve anything. Instead it should be called maze can’t be solved

### 1/5 — It’s a joke

*2023-03-09, version 1.0.0*

It solves puzzles by going on the outside. 
If you block the outside it claims the puzzle unsolvable. Lol. Took me about 10 seconds.

### 1/5 — Terribly Dreadful app. Do not waste your time.

*2023-01-03*

If there’s one thing I hate in this world, it’s laziness, and this app is just that. I had put in the simplest maze even a toddler could do and it completely cut outside. Bad app.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2022-05-05*

This is a great app, my only complaint is that I needed to remove the margin from the maze as it just traced the outside of the maze. But honestly this is great!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-02-09*

I got the app to do this maze I was assigned and the app just says it was unsolvable

### 2/5 — Needs to be more specific

*2021-01-02*

At first everything seemed to be going good but when the app showed me the solution it was totally unspecific I was doing a circular maze the solution I got was in a straight line. I needed a line that was circular not in line. I don’t recommend getting this app

### 4/5 — Ok

*2020-06-09, version 1.0.0*

Its good, but it keeps on glitching me out of the app whenever I try to use a photo but works every second time.
