Mühle macht einfach Spaß, wird nicht langweilig und geht nicht so lang wie eine Schachrunde. Zum Entspannen spielt unbedingt Mühle und unterschätzt das Spiel nicht, es ist ein wundervolles Spiel und hier in einer schönen App verpackt, damit man es immer parat hat. Herzlichen Dank an den Entwickler 🙏🏻✨👍 **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback und die netten Worte! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen das Spiel so gut gefällt und Sie es auch zwischendurch genießen können. Viel Spaß weiterhin! Ihr Lite Games Team ### 3/5 — Fake Bestenliste *2024-10-03* Hallo …. das Spiel ist International und macht Spaß … nur, dass man öfters gegen den Computer spielt und nicht gegen einem echten Menschen …. das merkt man sofort, denn die Namen des Spielers ist recht merkwürdig und die Zeit der Züge ist immer genau gleich. Jetzt kommen wir zur sogenannten „Bestenliste“ denn die ist ein Witz …. Es gibt sie pro Woche, Monat oder als Ewig. Leider zählen hier nicht die Anzahl der gewonnenen Spiele …. sondern nur die Anzahl der Spiele … egal ob man sie gewonnen oder verloren hat … ein WITZ … denn mit Bestenliste hat das ja nunmal gar nichts zu tun. und so gibt es einige Spieler … wie zum Beispiel „Banksy“ der immer nur kurz ins Spiel geht und gleich wieder verschwindet … obwohl nur ein Stein gespielt wurde … Hauptsache er nutzt so wenig Zeit wie nötig um so viele Spiele wie möglich zu machen …. Ha ha ha ha ha … Deppenliste müsste sie heißen und nicht Bestenliste ….. ha ha ha ha ha ha **Developer response:** Hallo ottili, vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar. Es tut uns leid, dass du dich durch die Werbung gestört fühlst. Die Einnahmen in Mills dienen dazu, Kosten für die Weiterentwicklung und Wartung zu decken. In den Einstellungen hast du die Möglichkeit ein werbefreies Abonnement abzuschließen. Dein LITE Games Team ### 3/5 — Fake Players! *2024-09-16* Please stop the fake matches. ### 4/5 — Das beste Mühle *2024-08-20* Das Spiel läuft eigentlich immer sehr stabil und Abstürze entstehen wirklich selten. Ja gut, es ist Werbung enthalten, die aber erträglich ist, auch wenn sie nach jedem Spiel kommt. Aber ganz oft lässt sie sich gleich wegklicken oder man wartet eben 5sekunden. Die Abos das man die Werbung entfernt, finde ich sehr teuer. Da warte ich lieber. Was weiter stört, dass die Bedenkzeit ziemlich lange ist. Es gibt Leute, die nutzen das aus und spielen erst in letzter Sekunde jeden Stein. Da kann ein Spiel dann mal schnell, 10minuten dauern. Außerdem gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass der Gegner aufhört zu spielen, seine Zeit läuft ab, nichts geht mehr. Man ist gezwungen, aufzugeben und verliert das Spiel, obwohl der Gegner gleich wieder online ist. Was noch eine Verbesserung wäre, wenn es noch Emojis oder vorgegebene Texte geben würde, dass man etwas interagieren kann. **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass du Probleme mit Mühle hattest. Unsere Entwickler haben einen Ausfall des Spieleservers festgestellt und haben in den letzten Tagen hart daran gearbeitet, das Problem zu lösen. Im Moment sieht es so aus, als ob das Problem behoben wurde und der Spieleserver wieder verfügbar ist. ### 3/5 — IA *2024-08-03* Niveau difficile beaucoup trop facile Bug je pense ### 4/5 — No beep when time is nearing *2024-01-30* I was loosing most of games due to time up Please add a beeper / reminder for clock as functionality **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating. If there are technical difficulties, please contact our support via email. Greetings, Alex from LITE Games Team. ### 4/5 — Great game, shame about the hacks/ hackers *2023-12-22* The Mills game, itself is a fantastic game and this is by far the best computerised version of it. I play it quite often and I always learn a bit more. My main concern is about disrespectful players who hack the game to extract victory in a game they would be, clearly, losing. Sometimes the game freezes and I cannot move and my timer expires and sometimes it is a full crash out of the game. I do not accept the game makers' explanation that maybe the game is just cashing, when it only crashes when I am just about to win and when the coward other player always gets the victory score. The game makers should implement a memory buffer to always store the games played for a short period of time and introduce a " CHEAT REPORT" button for a cheat incident to be reported and then investigated from the stored game, and the cheating player to have the account cancelled. For me that would make it a 5 star game **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating. If there are technical difficulties, please contact our support via email. Greetings, Alex from LITE Games Team. ### 5/5 — Travando *2022-07-30* Gosto do app mas ultimamente tem travado. **Developer response:** Olá Joel, o problema foi resolvido através de uma actualização. Por favor actualize a aplicação, depois tudo deve funcionar novamente :) A sua Equipa de Jogos LITE. ### 4/5 — Touchscreen *2022-06-08* Was man hier beim Mühle spielen ,alles erlebt …wie jetzt gerade ..ohne ein Stein zu ziehen ,wird abgegeben ,oder die Verbindung wird getrennt und man verliert dadurch ,die Punktewertung ,wenn’s eine ist ,geht garnicht …die Krönung war der Gegner hat nur noch die drei Steine und verliert denn dritten und das Spiel geht trotzdem weiter …LOL da ist man begeistert und manche username gehen garnicht **Developer response:** Hallo player 120259, wir transferieren gerade unsere Apps auf eine neue Multiplayer Plattform um ein besseres Spielerlebnis zu ermöglichen. Bezüglich der Usernamen, melde diese bitte an unsere Supportadresse, gern mit Screenshot, dann können wir entsprechende Accounts sperren. Dein LITE Games Team ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel *2022-04-18* Das Spiel hat mir und meiner Freundin mit Seheinschränkung immer wieder Freude bereitet. Leider gibt es Probleme mit den Servern. Wir hoffen das sich das bessert. Das ist die App mit den wenigsten Barrieren für Menschen mit Seheinschränkungen. **Developer response:** Hallo Loschua, es tut uns leid, dass du Schwierigkeiten mit Mühle hast. Derzeit wird unser Server gewartet. Daher kann es passieren, dass zwischenzeitlich keine Verbindung zum Spielerprofil und dem Onlinemodus besteht. Bald sollte alles wieder wie gehabt funktionieren. Wir danken für dein Verständnis. Dein LITE Games Team ## Frequently asked questions about Mills ### What is Mills - The Board Game?
