This means that, especially with the daily challenges, it’s impossible to play them. I cannot recommend this app. **Developer response:** The constant crashing during daily challenges is already being investigated by the dev team. Hope the next update gets you back to uninterrupted solving, Mario! ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-09, version 2.2.1* Freezes and pauses and ads that you can’t escape ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2026-07-26, version 2.2.1* Really entertaining one of the best games but the ads are just ruining it ### 3/5 — Decent *2026-07-22, version 2.2.1* Paid for upgrade, but keep getting the rate our game pop up. Very annoying. ### 3/5 — Daily games are unplayable *2026-07-17* Grids are too big and therefore any small mistakes get one of the (too few) 4 lives. This is not acceptable for a daily game Rest of the game is ok **Developer response:** Les grandes grilles avec si peu de vies, ça transforme la moindre erreur en punition — c'est noté et les devs travaillent sur l'équilibre entre taille des grilles et nombre de vies. Bonne journée ! ### 4/5 — ‼️ *2026-07-17, version 2.2.0* kinda glitchy and ur hints need to explain like the reason ### 3/5 — Fun but a lot of ads *2026-07-14, version 2.2.0* It was fun but you get ads if you don’t beat the level under 20s ### 4/5 — Good game. *2026-07-13, version 2.2.0* Practice and stretch your brain a bit. ### 2/5 — Level 138 Grand Master is insolvable *2026-07-09, version 2.2.0* I enjoyed this game but there’s no way to pass level 138 on the Grand Master level. I now I wasted the money I paid for no ads. ### 2/5 — Fun game if it didn’t crash *2026-07-09, version 2.2.0* Crashes all the time. Adds every level is just developer greed. ### 4/5 — Queen puzzle review *2026-07-08* Remove add from game **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying Queens! The team is always looking at ways to improve the ad experience for players. ### 3/5 — fun game *2026-07-06, version 2.2.0* The three stars is because of the ads. It shows an option to pay to get rid of them, but the link is not working. ### 3/5 — not hard enough *2026-07-06, version 2.2.0* the games just have no variety. i watched all the ads to unlock the grandmaster levels (like this option btw as i never would have paid for it) which just makes the board bigger but they’re never more complicated. its a real shame because its just boring now ### 3/5 — Freezes every time *2026-07-02, version 2.2.0* Update: their team responded that this issue is being researched… maybe I’ll check back in future to try again… Every time I play and spend time solving a puzzle it freezes before I can finish … I have updated the app and forced closed but it always says I tried and failed … deleting this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-30, version 2.2.2* Needs work. Loads so slowly. Hints don’t give you explanation which will help you learn. And so clearly used AI. ### 1/5 — It’s works *2026-08-23, version 2.2.2* Similar to LinkedIn version. However, I think it is a pay app only. Cannot proceed past level 7 ### 1/5 — OMG THE ADS MAN *2026-08-20, version 2.2.1* Out of control!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes frequently *2026-08-05, version 2.2.1* Most important, the app crashes frequently, which is especially unacceptable given how many times you need to pay to unlock certain things. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Ads are too annoying *2026-08-03, version 2.2.1* It’s one thing to have ads, it’s another to have to play a game ad. ### 1/5 — Constantly hangs/crashes *2026-08-03, version 2.2.1* Game constantly hangs or crashes. I’ve sent the developer a bug, highlighting the underlying issue, but no response or solution. ### 1/5 — Flaws *2026-07-28, version 2.2.1* It auto triggers a mistake when trying to change an X to a blank. ### 1/5 — App crashes my phone *2026-06-19* My phone become unresponsive sometimes, now my phone is a flagship phone, storage has room, is not hot, has charge, not on low battery, but somehow, it freezes my phone and I cannot even quit the app and I have to do a hard reset 🤦‍♂️ **Developer response:** That full phone freeze forcing a hard reset is a serious one that the devs are already digging into. Sorry your flagship is taking the hit — hope it gets sorted fast! ### 1/5 — Irritating ux *2026-06-12* End up losing moves in daily challenges because of selecting wrong boxes as the size of boxes is too small **Developer response:** The small box size causing accidental selections in daily challenges is already on the devs' radar to fix. Hope to see you back solving puzzles soon! 🎯 ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-06-10, version 2.1.9* App freezes constantly, can’t even get through the daily challenge without having to force close and restart the app multiple times. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love *2026-09-01, version 2.2.2* I like this game. It is keeping my mind active. ### 5/5 — Good idk *2026-08-20, version 2.2.1* Title ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-17, version 2.2.1* Fun as ever ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-05, version 2.2.1* Fun game that doesn't tax the brain too much but lets you use it. Gotta keep that blade sharpened. ### 5/5 — Queens Review *2026-07-29, version 2.2.1* Queens is a good and challenging game. ### 5/5 — Innovative and Smart! *2026-07-12, version 2.2.0* New and original gaming concepts are rare!
