### 3/5 — Free but not ad free

*2026-05-08, version 1.31*

I am disappointed because I thought this app was supposed to be ad free.  I do like that I can use my own pictures if I want to.

### 3/5 — Secret puzzles are too similar

*2025-11-08, version 1.24*

I really enjoy the puzzles, especially the secret puzzle (which I do daily) but the subjects are just so similar and it’s becoming quite tedious. The puzzles are usually either sky, mountains and something in the foreground, various animals/birds, flowers, or buildings. They’re usually beautiful but it’s just too samey!
