If you don’t care about stealing content, then this app is still literal AI garbage. “Helpfully” reminds you every time you open the app that you have notifications disabled which is not at all an annoying way to get you to turn on notifications. Trying to delete your account? Good luck, it’ll keep spitting out a 500 error because why take the time and effort to design and test an experience that works and instead type some words into windsurf and then slap some in app purchases in there. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for trying PrizeMap! Looks like you're on 1.4.1, which means PrizeMap is currently operating within the allowance of TCGM. Also reminder, this project was never meant to be as widely published at this time as what it ended up being, and I as a solo dev am definitely facing the consequences of such rapid adoption. I ask for your patience and forgiveness for all the hiccups the app has seen in the past week. (EDIT: With Version 1.7.0, you can once again play puzzles again in the app! Check it out! This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) -Jerry ### 1/5 — Dog *2025-12-28* Ad ridden rip off of tcgmasters.net.. I misclick once and refresh straight to an ad. Ruining the game ruining the community with cash grab and ai app development **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap. Effective with app version 1.4.0, we have complied with the wishes of the developer of TCGMasters and they are okay with its current use of redirecting into their site until our own simulator is built. Our puzzles are all our unique work and that is the product we are providing with this app. (EDIT: With Version 1.7.0, you can once again play puzzles again in the app! Check it out! This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) ### 1/5 — Stolen Software *2025-12-28* They legit just took the software from another app and added a paywall, disappointing to see in the community. **Developer response:** Hi there!

This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) ### 1/5 — Just use TCMasters instead *2025-12-28* The entire app is just a fancy embed of the TCGMasters website, presumably done without permission. It’s also completely loaded with ads to the point that it’s obnoxious to even try and finish a puzzle. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap.

Disgusting amount of ads and profiting off of someone else’s work. Just head to the website and have a better experience without supporting these scummy people. **Developer response:** Hi there!

The creator himself has said so on discord. Do not support this garbage and instead use TCGMasters ### 3/5 — great game, horrible servers *2026-01-19, version 1.8.0* the puzzles are super fun. but you regularly get disconnected part way through, and some actions take too long for the server to process. ive also had a couple strange bugs like winning and losing a puzzle at the same time. would be a 5/5 if it got cleaned up with better servers and more puzzles ### 3/5 — Very cool idea *2026-01-15, version 1.7.0* Love the puzzles, love forcing myself to play differently, but 30seconds to load a game, followed by server disconnection (with stable working internet) kinda blows. Having to play cards in EXACT order to yield same results also doesn’t feel good since I then needed to load for 30 seconds to try again. Worth a try if you’re a competitive player but too much waiting for an app that should be quick as a daily puzzle ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best thing to exist! *2026-01-07* Really great app. Puzzles are fun and creators really care about the game. ### 4/5 — Love the concept *2025-12-28* Love the concept of this app, really helps strengthen the logic and sequencing of PTCG. However I have some issues where I can’t see all my cards, nor can I scroll to them on iPhone SE. Besides that this is a really cool app. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap. Thanks for your feedback and we are considering all devices sizes with the new version of the simulator we hope can be revealed soon! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
