### 4/5 — Excellent

*2021-12-24, version 2.1.0*

Only suggestion is to fix controls. Doesn't work on phone. I prefer no lives. So if I misclick I don't have to start over. Very hard on phone. Would LOVE more puzzles.

And for users: Play on AIRPLANE mode. Or you'll deal with annoying ads.

### 5/5 — Puzzles and events

*2021-10-07, version 2.1.0*

Needs more puzzles and needs events with a clocks showing how long is left.

### 4/5 — Small font

*2021-08-30, version 2.1.0*

Enjoyable game but the font on the genius games is too small - an option to increase it would be helpful for those of us with poorer eyesight.

### 5/5 — Updates PLEASE

*2021-04-08, version 2.0.5*

I am out of puzzles. Please update.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2021-03-13, version 2.0.5*

Wish you would update this app and give us more levels beat all 107 levels and saying common soon but hasn't in a while

### 3/5 — At Times Frustrating

*2021-01-05, version 2.0.5*

I really enjoy this game, however there are a few issues. With the color puzzles it’s sometimes hard to differentiate similar colors as well as some of the colors are not available to choose. Also if you play the challenge be prepared to only be able to do one month until an update is completed which could be months. As soon as the new month starts there’s an error message saying to update the app however there is no available update.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2020-12-28, version 2.0.5*

It keeps crashing and it won’t load I’ve tried everything please fix the game 😩

### 2/5 — I monthly update in 3 months

*2020-12-07, version 2.0.4*

I was waiting to see how many days would go by before they updated the monthly puzzle, but nothing in 3 months now. I’m upset about this because it’s part of my daily game playing, but getting tired of looking everyday for nothing

### 2/5 — Good game but...

*2020-10-25, version 2.0.4*

I greatly enjoy this game. However, i am disappointed that there has not been an October update and October is almost over 😒

### 1/5 — Where is the update

*2020-10-20, version 2.0.4*

It is October 20th and you still haven’t updated the daily challenges. It’s kind of hard to enjoy this app if I cannot play it
