### 4/5 — Great

*2021-11-22, version 3.8.3*

It’s great the scoring is a little confusing fun challenge I wish there where more free boards but other than that it’s perfectly made

### 2/5 — Needs a serious facelift

*2020-08-28, version 3.8.3*

Old style app, from early days. Visually needs help. Needs better UX and instructions. Why does the bell ring, especially when the puzzle is not solvable? The game is fun but the app needs help.

### 4/5 — SALTY ABOUT FASTEST TIME LEADBOARDS

*2019-09-30, version 3.8.3*

Tell me how on God’s green earth it’s possible that someone got to a single peg in .05 seconds!? Even #20 got there in less than a second. Obviously impossible. Reset leaderboards pls

### 3/5 — Fine

*2019-08-13, version 3.8.3*

Fun game; works fine. Weird scoring, not sure what the algorithm behind it is. Would be nice to have a scoreboard showing your highest personal scores and best times. Would be even better to compare against others or race against others to complete the game. Plenty puzzles but needs more features

### 2/5 — Hate the ads

*2018-05-23, version 3.8.3*

I love the game but hate the annoying ads. I would gladly pay for an ad fee version of this game!

### 3/5 — 3 stars down from 5

*2018-01-25, version 3.8.3*

Something about the scoring has changed dramatically since the update.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2017-10-05, version 3.8.3*

Great for its purpose, but the leaderboards need a rework. How is it possible to solve it in less than a tenth of a second? Somethings gotta detect when it isn’t factual.

### 3/5 — Abandoned App?

*2017-02-20, version 3.2.1*

I get messages from Apple that this app must be updated by the developer. It doesn't look like it's been updated in quite a while.

### 4/5 — I like this game

*2015-06-20, version 3.2.1*

But I don't like the fact that I have to upgrade to use the english board

### 4/5 — Fun

*2015-03-04, version 3.2.1*

This is a fun game but the scoring makes no sense.  My best times have lower scores than slower times.  There is no explanation of how the scoring is determined.  My best time is 5.68 seconds to solve the classic board with one peg left in the starting hole.  For whatever reason that score is over 2000 points less than my high score.

### 4/5 — Crashes when I post score on twitter.

*2014-03-31, version 3.2.1*

Love this game. But, every time I post a high score on twitter it crashes.

### 4/5 — Too noisy

*2013-11-06, version 3.2.1*

Great layout for fat fingers. Would give it 5, but can't stop it from making noises. Even with 'Sound Off' it still makes too many corny noises. To turn off noises you really have to lower phone volume which creates problems with ringers n alarms.

### 4/5 — Problem

*2013-06-06, version 3.2*

I just installed an update but I hadn't played in a while. Right now, in classic mode, the top peg in the triangle won't respond to being tapped. What's going on?

4 stars because I love this game and always have but right now I can't play it.

### 2/5 — Loved it before the update

*2012-03-24, version 3.01*

Loved it before the update but the now the new look is terrible and harder to use. No option to use original look. Do not upgrade.

### 1/5 — Why

*2020-02-15, version 3.8.3*

IT KICKS ME OUT OF THE GAME IDIOTS

### 1/5 — Bonus points

*2017-11-07, version 3.8.3*

Still won’t give points for game finished even when leaving one peg.   Love playing just wish it would give me points for my work

### 1/5 — So far no jumps possible

*2017-10-24, version 3.8.3*

Maybe some instructions needed?

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 11

*2017-10-01, version 3.2.1*

Please update to be compatible with iOS 11!

### 1/5 — Can't select the top peg

*2013-06-06, version 3.2*

I just updated this game which I love, but now I cannot select the top peg during the game. Not even to take it off at the beginning. I check other apps and is not the phone, so please fix the app. 
Many thanks in advance!!

### 1/5 — BUGS!

*2013-05-09, version 3.01*

There is a colossal bug that impacts the leaderboard. If you don't already know this, you get bonus points for using the same peg consecutively. However, due to the retake move button, you can repeat your bonus point moves. The retake button DOES NOT take back the bonus points. I was able to become the 4th best on the triangle board because of this bug. All top 5 people on this board have been utilizing the bug to their advantage.

What to do:

A. Remove the retake button.

OR

B. Fix the bug.

AND

Figure out the maximum bonus points a player could possibly get without abusing the glitch. Then, set that as the limit of bonus points you can get. Remove everyone who has more bonus points than this from the scoreboard and make them restart again.

FIX THIS AND YOU GET FIVE STARS!

### 1/5 — Revert back to old

*2012-09-09, version 3.01*

Old version was awesome, u could fly thru the pegs. New version u have to tap to release last peg moved which slows down time.

### 1/5 — Totally !

*2012-04-26, version 3.01*

This app stinks! Whenever I try to turn the peg hinting off it doesn't work! I would rate it 0 s if i could

### 1/5 — New version is too sluggish

*2012-02-02, version 3.01*

Loved the old version, now I must delete :(

### 1/5 — Miss the old version!

*2011-12-20, version 3.01*

I have removed this app. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. I liked customizing my board. Now it looks chunky and cheap!! It is very annoying flipping back and forth. Too bad!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-10-13, version 3.8.3*

I saw this puzzle in a restaurant and searched for something like it in the app store. Super fun and challenging IQ tester

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2017-04-15, version 3.2.1*

It is just like the original but, has a few different features that I like. Example: The extra board select and the random gap button it is useful when you cannot pic a gap. Overall GREAT APP!!!😃👍🏼

### 5/5 — Yea

*2014-07-04, version 3.2.1*
