Too bad it’s been neglected by the developers and is barely functioning. It’s very glitchy and needs to be closed and reopened after every level to get it going again. I hope the developers would breathe some life into this game and keep it working properly on newer iPhones and latest iOS. ### 4/5 — Number Link *2017-06-11, version 2.1.10* This is a fun game I play sometimes. ### 5/5 — Addicting *2017-05-25, version 2.1.10* The game is very addicting, and its the one I keep going back to. An juogfab ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-05-09, version 2.1.10* Great way to keep mind working. ### 3/5 — Fun game, app has some annoying issues *2017-03-23, version 2.1.10* This game is **really** fun. It was totally worth the $1.99 for all the new games. However, the switch from the free version to the paid version has included some UI glitches that make playing less enjoyable: * The Back button is now two overlaid yellow squares rather than the actual button * The Clear button depresses (color change) but doesn't actually clear anything * Sometimes the app hangs regardless of screen activation/button pushing. Usually you can get out of that loop with turning on and off wifi several times.... ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-12-17, version 2.1.10* Fun to play. Also requires deductive reasoning. Using your head, yet short puzzles for a relaxing play. ### 5/5 — Evie *2016-12-14, version 2.1.10* Love it! ### 5/5 — Number link *2016-11-06, version 2.1.10* Great app, puts my brain to work ### 4/5 — Addictive *2016-10-11* What a game! Love the logical thinking. Got to a certain level, couldn't work it out. Came back later, bam! Got it! Very cool. ### 5/5 — Totally addictive! *2016-10-03* Simple but addictive! And so satisfying! ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-01-22* This is a great game and well implemented. There used to be a magazine called MX in Sydney that had this puzzle on its game page. It was called A!Maze. Really enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Awesome! A great pass time *2015-09-27, version 2.1.7* Its pretty good, I always play this just to pass time when I'm bored, and when my friends are playing it on my phone, I literally can't tear them away! Could use more hints, though! 👍🏽👍🏽 ### 5/5 — An excellent logic game. *2014-12-04* There are two variations for each game. The zig zag is the easier, but the classic game can be very frustrating - but very rewarding when you have worked it out. I have spent hours and hours - and enjoyed them! ### 5/5 — Awesome Brain Game, But... *2014-11-02, version 2.1.5* I love it, it forces you to explore options when a solution isn't found! Small things missing... Indication of what ur playing in the game screen, what level & such... Also, when you exit the game screen no indication what level u were on or memory of what you were looking at before you went in (it refreshes to default screens)... No indication of what the charges are when looking at in app purchases... I think that's it, amazing game, better if those features added : ) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2014-07-23, version 2.1.1* I like this game because you have to do some thinking yet I can solve it puzzle by puzzle. Finger motion to draw the line is smooth and works well. Tap the number and the line erases to start again. First strategy point is to draw the lines out from the numbers that can only go one way from their block. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to play *2019-04-29, version 2.1.10* Did four rounds, got an ad, no way to lose the ad, even after forced close. Not sure if glitch or not, but totally unusable. ### 1/5 — Terrible - No game only adds *2019-01-17* Only download this if you like to watch ads with no reward. Each level takes about 30 seconds to complete then you have to watch a 40 second video that you can’t close. Completely useless! The game itself would be quite good if you could actually play it. ### 1/5 — Not even funny! *2017-04-01* Absolute pants! Every third game an advert for another game fills the screen and when you try to clear it it links to App Store download page! Avoid!!! ### 1/5 — Sad *2013-03-05, version 1.12* This has the potential to be a really fun and interesting game. The potential is frustrated by unreliable line drawing; having to undo everything back to the first move if the first move was not right-when all that is needed is a small adjustment in that first line. And then there's the generation of unsolvable puzzles, in my case the fours trap the 8 no matter what you try because the line from/to the four's HAS to cover the only open side the eight has. Sorry, but I just don't like games with unsolvable logic puzzles and irritating behavior (non-behavior). ### 2/5 — Not a fan *2015-05-03, version 2.1.5* I can deal with the endless pop-up ads (if I must). But I couldn't help but notice that the game suddenly got very pointlessly difficult (fill all the boxes even though you're only connecting three numbers in a very large grid!) right about the time I, or any user, might run out of "hints." Felt VERY much like a means of trying to force people to buy hints. I'll go back to the (entirely free, no ads) browser game of this style I've been playing. ### 2/5 — Fun game, BUT... *2013-11-03, version 1.14.1* This is very fun game, but the constant barrage of pop-up ads is more than annoying. The ads even pop up in the middle of a game. Some of the ads try to open iTunes or the iTunes Store, so you not only have to stop playing the game, you have to close the screens it keeps trying to open. If the makers of the game pay attention to these reviews, PLEASE limit the pop-up ads to only after a game is finished and not interrupt the game itself. As for the game, it is a challenging, fun game. Some of the levels have enough difficulty that it does make you think, but none (so far) are so difficult to make you want to quit. ### 2/5 — Interesting but flawed execution *2013-04-12, version 1.14* I have been through about 400 puzzles so far and have been able to solve them all so my logic skills are fine. My issue is more with dexterity. When you get to the 10x10 size it is difficult to get the lines to draw as I want them to. And when I decided to try "hard mode" I realized that the puzzles to not get harder, it just makes drawing the lines the way you want even harder! I couldn't make it work at all. The lines kept auto shrinking and I could not get all the squares filled in no matter what I did. Also, when you make an error you have to erase the whole line instead of just a few squares. This game was interesting for a time but I'm done now. ### 2/5 — Would be better if a few options were available *2012-08-03, version 1.5* I love the concept of this game overall however I wish there were a few options available. For example, not being timed. Some people love being timed, and that's great, but I'm not one of them. This greatly affected the review mostly because of that. The game itself is fine, there just needs to be an option to take the 'timed' part out. ### 2/5 — Good concept. Dumb design. *2012-04-29, version 1.3* The concept of this game is fun. You can enjoy the free maps, and then buy more maps for 0.99c a pack. But once you get to the final pack, the maps become so big that you have to scroll up and down and side ways to view the entire map. It really kills the game. And it's easy to tell that not much thought went into designing the controls for the game. For example, canceling a move requires thee steps, while it could've been done by double tap. But the developers clearly don't have the skills to make it an intuitive game to control and play. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this game. ### 2/5 — Say What? *2012-04-22, version 1.3* Glad I happened upon this game; it's very different from the "words"-type games I usually play, and I was really enjoying it. In the ten or eleven games I played, I ran out of the four "hints" they supply you, and then you have to purchase more. At a dollar a pop for the ten-hint package, it's way too steep, as the games get progressively more difficult, and I can see myself using them up quickly. Then I'd have to buy more. Yeah, no. Great game, just too spendy in the long run. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-02-16, version 2.1.10* Love this app. CURES Boredom Relaxing Addiction ### 5/5 — Thoroughly Enjoy *2020-04-09, version 2.1.10* I play the free version. It takes quite a few puzzles to earn hints but I don’t mind. I enjoy the puzzles. It’s entertaining and my brain get a good workout. I highly recommend it. Classic mode is my personal favorite! ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-25* Very addictive. Hours of fun and challenge. Great way to keep your mind active instead of shooting or blowing up things. ### 5/5 — Best adds Eva! *2018-10-20* If you like long adds and not much game time then this app is for you. You can complete a puzzle in a few seconds and be rewarded with a twenty second add very time. The best bit is that it won’t give you the option to cancel the add and go back to the game at all. At first I found this frustrating but then I just stopped wanting to die and gave myself over to the sheer audacity of the apps creators. I will never stop playing this game. ### 5/5 — Bap54 *2018-05-01* Awesome!! ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2018-02-23, version 2.1.10* Fun and addictive. Helps pass the time while waiting in the doctors office. ### 5/5 — Number Link *2018-01-23, version 2.1.10* I really enjoy this game and Thank you for such a great game.💰💐🌷 ### 5/5 — Number Link *2017-09-22* Wondering whether I 'be done the right thing by downloading this! Will be addictive & more difficult than I first imagined! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2017-06-21, version 2.1.10* Well done ### 5/5 — Number link *2017-05-27* Very good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
