Les scores, stats, … ne sont plus sauvées. À chaque fois qu’on ouvre l’application c’est comme si on recommence à 0, ce qui enlève tout l’intérêt des chronos, et l’envie de battre son score. Cette appli est la seule que je relance tous les jours sans jamais me lasser. Au début certains petits jeux semblent beaucoup trop durs, mais au fur et à mesure qu'on joue on découvre des règles à appliquer sans réfléchir et on s'améliore... J'adore ^^ Par contre c'est sympa les maj qui relookent le jeu mais faudrait voir à optimiser un peu aussi, les menus et certains jeux saccadent sur un iPhone 4s alors que aucun traitement ne justifie ces lenteurs. Les jeux ne sont toujours pas en retina. Les contrôles sont parfois pas du tout intuitifs (dominos). En mode défi du jour, le touché d'une seconde pour changer le mode d'entrée ne fonctionne pas. On ne peut plus choisir les anciens thèmes ! Avec le nouveau la lisibilité des certains jeux est pourrie (tentes). L'interface est très brouillon, certains élément sont disproportionnés, certains textes sont minuscules, il y a un gros titre en plein millieu de l'écran de sélection des puzzles, …

Love this collection!

This is a great app with 24 different puzzles.
There is a ‘local mode’ for just playing puzzles without competing with other players, but I use the online mode most (I guess I’m more competitive than I realize). The leagues let you play particular puzzles at your choice of difficulty and compete with other players that have completed the same puzzle. I’ll use that feature for learning and improving or zoning out with my favorite puzzles. I play the daily challenges every day, which has one of each puzzle, to compete with other players (though I only usually play 15/24).
It can be buggy on occasion, but the developer is very kind and works quickly to resolve any issues.

Great game, have been playing forever

Seriously great collection of logic games, all collected together in one app. If I could only have one game on my phone, this would be it.

Only one issue- with version 7.1.7 on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Tangled game seems to have a sizing issue and you can only use about 2/3 of the screen.

What happened?

This used to be a great collection of games, well worth the yearly fee, but now it feels like it’s been abandoned. Games crash all the time, graphics wonky. It’s a shame.

Rang wird nicht mehr aktualisiert

Online Rangfolge funktioniert nicht mehr, man bleibt mit der gleichen Punktzahl auf dem gleichen Rang stehen, egal wieviel man spielt. Deshalb Abo gekündigt.

bug fixes never happened

months ago this app updated after literal years of working fine. dev said they would fix the bugs in 7.1 but the app is still sized wrong for the screen on almost all puzzles, and some have other bugs like mastermind will glitch off screen if you tab out of the app. just fix it already or put it back to the way it was

Latest version need work.

The recent update has introduced a few visual glitches. For example, the guesses in MasterMind don’t line up with the background grid.

Update made everything smaller

With this update, everything is suddenly smaller, making it hard to play on my phone. (iPhone 13 max pro.) I've been playing this collection for years. I'm addicted and now I can't get my fix! ;) UPDATE: The size issue is mostly fixed, but Pattern is still small for some reason, and the trees is Tents are oddly off-center.

UPDATE 2: Untangle also doesn't work right. The nodes have a limited range of motion making it impossible to solve.

Hello, Thanks for your message. We are working on fixing these issues (majority already fixed in version 7.1) Please be confident, we'll be back soon :) Regards, Alx

Doesn’t work after update

After happily playing this for years, I got a mysterious message apologizing for an update. And the developer might well apologize—the app no longer works on my 5th gen iPad Pro because parts of the puzzles are off the screen.

So sad!!!

After literally years of using this app as my go-to time killer at airports, doctors offices, and such, this last update has killed it on my iPhone 11. The game boards and icons are all much smaller, sudoku seems to be pretty much unplayable. I certainly can’t see the small numbers, and the row of buttons along the bottom is under the “sweep up” bar and very hard to hit. The other games all seem to have the same size issues, and the touch screen precision it takes to play is just frustrating.

I will miss you so much, PuzzleManiak!

Best app in the store except for the bugs

Fantastic to see this app updated and to finally be able to multitask. The only downside is that the new version is kind of small in the centre of my screen now. The lower controls are also small and sort of awkward behind the white slider bar thingy. Reminds me of playing on my original iPhone :)

Too many bugs to bother with

The latest update continues to not save times, even though it indicates that it is supposed to.

On any device that is newer than an iPhone 8 the buttons are at the bottom of the screen and causes issues when trying to tap on a button or closing the app.

No longer supported...

4 years without an update. It no longer supports saving scores /records. Offline play is ok but, as others have reported, server goes down. Shame because this is an excellent set of puzzles which, with a bit of sprucing up, could have a new lease of life.

Response from developer

Hello, We must change the business model to stop losing money with the server prices. We're sorry really for that. We also thought that 1€ per month was not too much for everybody. And it's a great help for us. Regards, Alexandre

Online games not working last 2 days

The app just crashes when I try to go online for anything within this app. Games, online rankings… I have tried on iPad, iPhone and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Cannot play any online games now, and my subscription is good until February 2022. Sent developer email and no response yet.

Returning player

Having a looks after long absence
Subscription model disappointing for seemingly what was always free
I will uninstall now

Bridges

I can't stop playing bridges. Oddly the counter for games won and lost don’t work properly. I win every game but it says I’ve lost over 300. Oh well i like it anyway.

Best Casual Puzzlesuite there is (update)

Paying subscription should entitle to a working server :-/... Any info on when it will be back would be great.

5 stars nonetheless for all the hours playing this in the past.

Paid for original version years ago

Now the new version requires additional payment to play against others? I already paid.

Monatliche Gebühr.... echt?

Wer seine Scores online speichern möchte oder sich online mit anderen messen will, wer die Rätsel schneller lösen kann, muss jetzt bezahlen? Keinen Einmalbetrag nein eine MONATLICHE GEBÜHR!!
Aber wer jährlich zahlt bekommt es günstiger.

So einen Quatsch habe ich noch nie gesehen!
Es war oft ein sehr guter Zeitvertreib für mich aber jetzt bin ich raus. Über 12 EUR im Jahr für onlinenutzung?

Endlich als Gesamtpaket

Die einzelnen Puzzles des Herstellers waren schon klasse, aber als Paket ist das Ganze als Puzzle-Sammlung einfach unschlagbar. Sehr zu empfehlen für alle die nicht nur immer Sudoku oder Mines spielen wollen. Es gibt viel zu entdecken.
