Great game design with broken scoring and no support
March 2023 update: game center is no longer supported. Link to leaderboard and standings no longer works. Not sure if scoring is updating. APP SUPPORT link opens 404 page! A great practice app but not a game. The app doesn't track the game until quit. So you'd have to play in one session. Pausing for an extended period resets the app. Piece probabilities for Game and Campaign are different; e.g., in pentix you get one cross for every ten lines in Campaign, and reverse of that trend in Game.

TERRIBLE Dissappointment!
Horrible and very frustrating "version" of Tetris! Pieces frequently shift when dropped, not falling into the displayed target space! Not enjoyable at all! Save your money! This continues to be the WORST game that I have on my iPad! I keep hoping that there will be an update to fix all the problems but that has yet to happen! If you want a Tetris game, this is NOT it! Avoid like the plague!!
It is amazing how you continue to make this app worse than it was before. “Good Job” — NOT! Shame on you!!!!

Much prefer older version
I wish I hadn’t updated the app to 3.0.2.
The new version is more restrictive - you can’t swap pieces out and fined a lot for trying. You also can’t see your score. And the drop down motion has annoying new visuals. I loved this app but don’t enjoy the new version. Please revert back to the old one

Drop function needs improvement
I love this game, it’s the best version of Pentix and it’s even superseded Tetris for me. However my only gripe is that they keep changing the drop function. First it was no swipe but two buttons on either side of the screen.
This worked well but the recent upgrade got rid of those buttons and made it a swipe drop which is about 80% reliable and moved the drop button to the top of the screen where your thumbs can’t reach and is not intuitive to use. Please decide on a layout and make sure it works all the time so I can get my score up!!!
Other than that, fabulous and addictive.

Great design with implementation problems
Late January 2021 update: scoring is still not restored making this app a great practice app but not a game. Scores are not shown and won't log or update the board
Earlier post redesign review:
Not only the version upgrade has wiped off my previous score card, the worst part of this implementation is that it doesn't track the game! So you'd have to play in one session. +Pausing for an extended period resets the app. And unlike previous version, resetting the app certainly had no recollection you were even there.
+Then, as for bugs the app crashes every time computer loses in 2-player Quad game. Haven't tried playing full or pentix against computer.
+Campaign doesn't speed up and even in Advanced mode remains lame. Completed all 40 pentix maps without losing once.
+Piece probabilities for Game and Campaign are different; e.g., seemingly you get one cross for every ten lines in Campaign, and reverse of that trend in pentix Game which starts much faster.
+Adventure is repetitive and doesn't keep track; i.e., the same map opens again.
+Finally, No option to hide or customize 'next' like previous version
