This game is my life

“Don’t spend too much time with this game”

I play this game every minute of my day

I’ve stopped going on social media

I can clear the board in under three minutes. My best time is 2 minutes 19 seconds

Thank you Pure Set

Please make it so I can play against friends without being next to them

Great game, but app too simple

I love this game and appreciate the fact that it’s just pure set (like advertised!), but the app is very bare bones.
I would like to see the stats of my games and also wish that the hint button would show only one card that is part of the set (like an actual hint) and not the whole set.

Minor Bugs

The timer decreases massively when you leave and reopen the app, and the selection completely bugs out when you rotate your screen. Otherwise, the app works as intended.

I love this game!

I went from 22 minutes to 6 minutes. It’s a great brain game!

If you cheat it’s much more entertaining

By default, this game limits how many cards are visible at one time which makes it more difficult to make a match. But, thankfully, you can “cheat” and ask to see many more cards at one time. My times went from 45-50 minutes down to 10-15 minutes when cheating. At 50 minutes this game is like counting sheep (who are themselves yawning) and you’re likely to fall into deep sleep before you complete the round. When you cheat, you’re rewarded with frequent matches and is much more entertaining.
