## What is Odd One?

A grid of symbols. One breaks the hidden rule - colour, shape, size, count or pattern. Tap exactly that one. That is all you need to know, and that is exactly why it is so much fun.

FOUR MODES
- Classic: 300 levels, no clock, pure logic. From level 151 the Extreme World adds patterns as a fifth dimension.
- Arcade: a 60-second time bank. Right answers earn time, wrong ones cost it.
- Endless: three lives, no time pressure. Four tiers up to Extreme.
- Daily: five puzzles a day, the same for everyone worldwide. One chance.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
- A widget with your daily status and a playable mini puzzle - in three sizes

FAIR AND CALM
- Completely free: no ads, no tracking, no account, no paywall
- A voluntary tip jar is the only source of income - it unlocks nothing
- Calm piano music, light and dark design, alternate app icons
- Colour assist for colour-blind players, full VoiceOver support
- Game Center: leaderboards and 13 achievements, iCloud sync
- Fully localised (EN, DE, FR, IT, ES)

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-05*

Great Game

### 5/5 — WELTKLASSE

*2026-08-02*

Nach 5 Minuten dachte ich: „Ganz nett.“ Nach 30 Minuten wusste ich nicht mehr, welchen Wochentag wir haben. Nach 2 Stunden hat mich meine Familie als vermisst gemeldet. 10/10, absolute Frechheit, dass diese App kostenlos ist.

### 5/5 — Super Zeitvertreib!

*2026-07-21*

Fordernd und fördernd

### 5/5 — I Like!

*2026-07-21*

Ich mag die Daily Challenge am liebsten und teile meinen Score gerne mit meinen Freunden. Am besten gefällt mir allerdings der Modi in dem ich zu entspannter Musik einfach konzentriert abtauchen kann. Super cool!

### 3/5 — Klein groß?

*2026-07-21*

Nichts für Nutzer mit einer klein-groß-Schwäche

**Developer response:** Hallo!

Vielen lieben Dank für das Feedback. In manchen Rastern ist der Unterschied zwischen den Größen zu klein. 
Wir werden das beheben, sodass auch Nutzer mit ebendieser Schwäche Spaß am Spiel haben können.

Viele Grüße

### 5/5 — Tolles Gehirnjogging

*2026-07-19*

Gar nicht so einfach wie man denkt. Macht super Spaß und man freut sich auf die nächsten Level!

### 5/5 — Einfach der Wahnsinn

*2026-07-19*

Hammer Idee, gute Umsetzung. 1 mal gespielt und direkt in die Abhängigkeit geraten. Mittlerweile meinen Arbeitsplatz verloren, da ich dieses Game nun hauptberuflich spiele.

### 5/5 — Simpel mit Suchtfaktor!

*2026-07-19*

Auf den ersten Blick simpel, fordert aber mehr als man denkt. Suchtpotenzial, da der Ehrgeiz besser zu sein als in der vorherigen Runde definitiv einsetzt.

### 5/5 — Ich fühl mich dumm

*2026-07-19*

Auf den ersten Blick super easy, irgendwann fühlt man sich nur noch dumm. Coole Challenge für zwischendurch und offline auch lässig. Daily Challenge hat Suchtpotenzial in unserem WhatsApp Chat

The biggest update since launch:

App Clip - Share today's puzzle as a link. Whoever opens it plays straight away, no install needed.

A real iPad layout - The board finally uses the whole display instead of sitting in the middle.

Lock Screen and Control Centre - Widgets for the Lock Screen and a Control Centre button take you straight to the daily puzzle.

Accessibility - Reduce Motion is now respected everywhere, large text sizes no longer break any layout, and VoiceOver reads every tile properly.

A new daily finish - Streak, time and your previous best at a glance, with confetti and a sound of its own.

Plus plenty of polish: times now follow your region, the board runs smoother, and several details have been refined.
