### 5/5 — 10/10...or 5/5..?

*2021-03-05*

so much fun. me likey.

### 1/5 — Same puzzles?? How about Update that ..

*2019-08-21*

Every time you update it loses my progress. I’ve completed the game three times and it’s the same puzzles. 😐

**Developer response:** We haven’t released new puzzle packs in a while, but the bug the caused you to lose your progress has been addressed.

### 1/5 — Awful game

*2019-04-12*

An awful game programmed by terrible people.

### 3/5 — Great concept, poor execution.

*2018-07-30*

The art is fantastic and I love the puns, but it's functionality leaves a lot to be desired.  It shuts down entirely after you solve a puzzle, making you launch it again.  And solved puzzles don't stay solved.  You go back into them and they're blank again, and they still appear on the unsolved filter.

**Developer response:** We’ve fixed the bugs that caused players to lose progress and the app to suddenly close. 

Let us know if you have any further issues. Thank you for the review.

### 1/5 — Politically Bad

*2018-06-20*

It was an ok, but extremely glitchy game. When I came across a puzzle with their horrible, biased political opinion I deleted the game. Bye Felicia, trash game.

### 1/5 — Horrible Game!

*2018-02-05*

This game malfunctioned the minute I downloaded it. No use for it 👎🏻👎🏻

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the feedback.

Do you know at which point the game crashed?

Some players have encountered issues because PunPics requires extra storage space  when the app is opened and downloads the puns (total: 26MB; average of 0.5MB/pun). Internet connection quality can result in a slow startup as well, sometimes showing a black screen for several seconds while data loads. 

Let us know if there's something we can do to help,

### 5/5 — Pun Riddles = YYYESSSS!!!

*2017-08-04*

Download this game if you like solving clever riddles. It's kind of hard to solve some of the puzzles, but I like having to think. The art and jokes are fun, and more geared toward adults, as opposed to all the games for kids.

I do wish the artists released new puns more frequently. There seem to be about four or five new puns a month.

### 5/5 — It's the most pun I've ever had

*2017-06-28*

This is the pun and only pun game I have played and to say the least, it's the greatest.

### 5/5 — KEB

*2017-06-27*

Extremely clever game. Love it.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2017-04-25*

Fun app, but very glitchy. Clicking on certain pics freezes app. Others simply close app.

**Developer response:** PunPics has received several updates containing bug fixes. Let us know if you have further issues. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
