Sometimes in the midst of a game, but mostly on open. It’s disappointing—I don’t want to have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling ### 2/5 — Fun, but lots of crashes *2018-11-05, version 1.3.1* It’s fun negotiating the mazes but after 4 mazes, the app crashed. Now it won’t launch and it just returns me to the home screen. This is my second install so I’m not very optimistic about installing it a third time. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2018-11-04, version 1.3.1* After reaching level 4 app quit and won’t restart. Deleted and reloaded now crashed after level 1. Won’t restart. Gonna delete. Was a cool game but now a waste of space. ### 1/5 — Buggy game. No longer runs after level 4 *2018-11-04, version 1.3.1* Just got to the end of the 'Get Real' level and the game aborted and now refuses to run. iPhone 7plus, iOS 12.0.1. In addition the Watch app has a twisted gyroscope sensor, moving the watch one way sends the ball to another direction. And, to make it worse, the display turns off after a few seconds! A total failure of an app, no matter which way you look at it. ### 2/5 — Relaxing? No, incredibly frustrating *2018-11-04, version 1.3.1* This is supposed to be one of those "play along and relax" apps. But it's not. You have to work so hard to even get the tiny ball into the tiny hole, with completely unrealistic physics/gravity, that if you were relaxed when you started you'll be annoyed and frustrated very quickly. It's just silly to design an app that doesn't respond the way the human brain expects. When you move your phone you expect the ball to follow naturally but the frustration quickly builds up when you realise it's not even slightly intuitive. I'm giving up and deleting this app. A complete waste of my time. ### 1/5 — The crash every time puzzle *2018-11-04, version 1.3.1* Saw there was an update. Worked great until I got to the 4. Then crashed every time. Would never open up. Fix the crash and it would be a fun game. Otherwise totally worthless and a waste of time. ### 2/5 — Crashes after 3-4 rounds *2018-11-04, version 1.3.1* Keeps crashing when I try to continue u my level, I can’t even access my the app at all now ### 1/5 — Crash after level 4 *2018-11-03, version 1.3.1* Same here - it crashes after level 4.. delete ### 1/5 — Crashed after 3rd maze, never worked again *2018-11-03, version 1.3.1* Start app, crash, rinse, repeat ### 2/5 — Crash after 2 levels *2018-11-03, version 1.3.1* Crashes after 2 levels are completed. Not going to delete the app just yet, as has potential if the glitch can be fixed. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-11-03, version 1.3.1* Played 3 games. It crashed. It would not restart. Rebooted phone, app still crashes. On IOS 12.1.1 beta. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2018-11-03, version 1.3.1* Started out good but after completing 4 levels it crashed tried closing out and restarting but it wouldn’t re launch don’t waste money on it yet thankfully I got it free on Nov. 2 hopefully they will update and fix the issue soon then I believe it could be a decent app ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-11-02, version 1.3.1* Immediately crashes on my iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.1 ### 1/5 — Crashed and never worked again *2018-08-09, version 1.3.1* Crashed after completing third level. Never would launch again after that. ### 1/5 — Crash! *2018-08-08, version 1.3.1* After 4 levels it blacks out and shuts down. There’s no way to reset. I decided to wait for the update to see if there was a fix. Now I’m just going to delete it. I see this has been going on for weeks with no fix. The levels that worked were nice - such a shame. ### 1/5 — Maze zen *2018-08-06* How can such a simple game be so unstable a mazes me! Keeps closing as soon as it opens... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crash *2022-03-26, version 1.3.1* It’s crash in ios15.1 ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-02-05, version 1.3.1* Every time I open the game it crashes ### 1/5 — Don’t suggest getting this game *2021-01-16, version 1.3.1* After completing the level “let’s get real” it kicks you out of the game and doesn’t let you in. ### 1/5 — Most horrible *2018-11-25, version 1.3.1* Is this a joke? Most horrible app I have ever seen, buggy as hell and pointless in the first place. ### 1/5 — A Big Dud *2018-11-17, version 1.3.1* Just when getting a handle on the game and moving through the mazes it blacks out back to the iPhone home screen. ### 1/5 — The mazes and nothing! *2018-11-06, version 1.3.1* Seems like it could be fun, but when I finished the third maze, the game took me to my home screen and refused to restart. Tried several times to restart with no success. Good thing I got the game for free or I’d be demanding my money back. ### 1/5 — Exact opposite of Zen *2018-11-06, version 1.3.1* Please explain how a game is supposed to be “Zen” if you get triggered af after it fails to load after the third round? ### 1/5 — Crashes and has ads *2018-11-06, version 1.3.1* I'm glad I got this for free. Paid apps shouldn't have ads in them. As far as I could tell, there's no way to recalibrate the game, and it didn't zero in properly when I had my phone level. The game is super simple looking and kind of ugly. It crashed on the second maze, so I just deleted it. One star. ### 1/5 — Only 5 levels????????? *2018-11-05, version 1.3.1* After five levels app will not open. Next step is to delete and get space back. Too bad. Nice game. Just now way to move forward. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2018-11-05, version 1.3.1* I have downloaded the app twice because it stops opening. Now it is happening again. I am done. Each time I have had to start over on the mazes. Have never had any program this unresponsive. Opposite of Zen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2016-10-01, version 1.2.3* Great app! ### 5/5 — Well done *2016-03-29, version 1.2.3* I've tried many maze games on the App Store and this is my favourite at the moment. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Most fun on my new watch *2016-01-23, version 1.1* Finding my center is my vacation obsession! Plays like a real ball maze. ### 5/5 — Family fun *2015-12-28, version 1.0* Great fun for the family. The wife and kids can keep trying can keep trying to beat my score! Not going to happen 😜 ### 4/5 — Watch display turns off *2018-02-19, version 1.2.3* The watch app would be a great idea, but the display turns off while playing. If there’s some way to prevent that, this could be pretty fun. ### 4/5 — Takes time to become zen? Maybe? *2016-10-05, version 1.2.3* Challenging, though not sure that is the intent. Better as I learn to control speed and direction of ball. Maybe I will achieve a bit of zen benefits. I enjoy playing. One thing, the messages between games require speed reading and no time to contemplate. Please Add more viewing time. ### 4/5 — Refinements *2016-03-12, version 1.2* Im not a big game player but this is relaxing. The sayings are a nice treat after getting the ball in but PLEASE ADD MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO READ THE QUOTES!!! In addition, it is difficult to change colors. ### 3/5 — Good but crashed after s few levels *2018-12-07, version 1.3.1* Like this game, but after a few levels, the app crashed and won’t let me continue. I am playing on an iPhone X. ### 2/5 — Fun, then crashes *2021-06-10, version 1.3.1* I’ve had this app on various phones for years and it was always a decent reasonably challenging app. Tried it recently on 2 iPhones and the farthest I can get is the 2nd puzzle and then it abruptly shuts down and returns me to my Home Screen. I uninstall and reinstall and same thing. Please fix!!! ### 2/5 — Crashes *2020-12-06* First of all, it’s a really nice game and there are some nice quotes. But the ball is pretty small and so are the gaps to roll them through. But it’s also pretty hard to even get the right angle and tilt to get it through the gaps. If you are using an iPhone and the ball has just disappeared, try tilting your phone till you see the ball come back to the maze. This happens because the game isn’t specially designed for iPhone so the sharp corners of the game aren’t shown because the rounded corners can’t display them. Now the real problem I had was that on my third level when I completed it the game just crashed and I couldn’t go back in the app. If the developer sees this jsyk none of the stuff above really matters it’s just that my game keeps on crashing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
