What they didn’t mention is that it NOT free to play. ### 2/5 — Unable to change difficulty *2026-05-14* Puzzle variety is good but some are too easy and there is no option to change the difficulty. In Cell Block there’s no instruction on how to choose an odd number of cells and I can’t work out how it works. Introductions are not clear. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you're not finding the puzzles to be challenging enough, and we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. You can find further instruction for Cell Block puzzles on www.puzzler.com/puzzles-a-z/cell-block. If you have any other feedback or thoughts you'd like to share, please do not hesitate to share your feedback with us on www.puzzlerapp.com. Joanna, Customer Experience Team. ### 3/5 — Used to be great *2026-05-09* This used to be literally the best puzzle app out there. You pay (in-game currency) to unlock a puzzle but get the same amount of coins rewarded once the puzzle is completed, so I never ran out, and you could go back to archived games from weeks you missed. Always fun and it was ad-free. Now I don’t know if it was a glitch that my version was ad-free, but all of a sudden I now get an ad after every puzzle I play, and it has truly ruined the experience. It was one of the only ad-free puzzle apps out there, I loved it and I would literally spent hours on it, but now it’s ruined. I hate this era of hounding users with ads. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. If you'd ever like to upgrade and become a Puzzler+ subscriber, you'll get to enjoy an ad-free experience, free access to over 25 daily new puzzles, free access to the entire archive, replaying completed puzzles, extra rewards and a flexible subscription - cancel at any time. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us! Joanna, Customer Experience Team. ### 2/5 — New Games Don’t Work *2026-01-22* If you’ve paid for the annual subscription, the new games don’t work for some reason.

I was looking forward to the new ‘Event’ puzzles - a new feature in the latest update. There’s a countdown clock now in the bottom corner of the home screen showing when the next ‘Event’ puzzles will be available but for several days now I’ve tried to open these new puzzles but NOTHING happens when you tap on them - they don’t work!! What could be great puzzle app is still only a good puzzle app. Developers- please fix this! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

It’s a really good game but now tells me I’m not connected to the internet, when in fact all my other devices are fine. It’s really disappointing. **Developer response:** Hi there!
