### 1/5 — Needs an update.

*2019-11-05, version 1.4*

Game has no sound at all.  It’s also formatted for the screen size of the iPhone 4. It might be tolerable if you have an iPhone 5 - 8, but if you have the X, Xs or 11 the display is way too small.

### 1/5 — No option to switch off audio

*2019-04-26, version 1.4*

Even if you put volume to 0 for music and effects it kills any music / podcast you might be listening to. So it forces you to either listen to the terrible game music or silence instead.

### 4/5 — Elena

*2018-06-04, version 1.4*

Невозможно изменить раскладку цифр на iPhone 6s! Предложение на изменение есть, а возможности нет. Есть screen, могу предоставить.

### 1/5 — Eigentlich ein super Denkspiel, aber

*2015-07-12*

Wenn man das Spiel ausmacht und dann wieder reingeht sind alle Spielstände und Profile weg! Das heißt wieder von vorne Anfangen....

### 4/5 — Can't save player or background game

*2015-04-23*

Please fix to save player/scores and allow background of current game. Os8

### 4/5 — Unable to save a player

*2015-01-31*

Love the game so much I don't mind playing twice. But could you please fix the bug which would allow me to save my progress.

### 1/5 — Rubbish!!

*2013-09-02, version 1.2*

This game is addictive and really good, but it just keeps kicking me out and restarting at he beginning so definitely not worth playing!!

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2013-08-25, version 1.2*

I think the game is very good but crashes a few times but other than that very good hours and hours of fun 😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😄

### 5/5 — Numba ist wieder da !!!

*2013-08-13*

Ich habe das Spiel vor Jahren schon geliebt. Unter IOS 6 lief es allerdings nicht mehr. Jetzt ist es wieder da. Ok, man muss es jetzt erneut kaufen, aber die 89 Cent ist es mir allemal wert. Wegen den paar Cent nur 1 Stern zu vergeben ist schon lächerlich. Geiz ist nicht wirklich immer geil! Absoluter Suchtfaktor!

### 3/5 — Nice idea, poor execution

*2013-08-13, version 1.2*

Can't listen to music and play. Can't resume games that are interrupted. A good idea ruined by poor design decisions.
