Too much. Deleted it. Otherwise, would still be playing it. ### 2/5 — Update is bad *2026-08-29, version 2.4.0* The new update added to the game is just annoying. Switching around all the spots is not fun to play anymore and I do have the thought to delete it now, which makes me sad because I really do enjoy this game. Off topic but there are too many ads as well. ### 2/5 — Repeating levels *2026-08-19, version 2.3.1* Was super happy with this until the levels started repeating super early. Only made it to level 90 and it was repeating after like level 50. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the game if you’re repeating puzzles you already know how to solve. ### 3/5 — Its so-so *2026-08-16, version 2.3.1* For new players: its not a bad pass time, you can lose yourself in a few levels for a while (i usually do 25 per play because theyre quick and intuitive which is fun for me) but there are a few things to note here and there coming from a player who is on level 4400. 1: the ads. There are a lot of ads and you arent allowed to play the game offline because you are forced into the ranking system of the game. This is the ONLY game i tolerate with these conditions. They should just let you play offline from the leaderboards. 2: repeating levels. Something i have noticed, though it doesnt bother me but it might bother other or new players is that theres only so many levels you play before you get the same ones again. Im not sure how many exactly, but ill guess maybe 150 or so levels that repeat? (give or take, i havent tried to count them) 3: i dont think the pet timers are correlated properly, or at least not correctly communicated. It says “10 minutes to next”, which to me implies that theres 10 minutes until it needs to use its food again (10 minuted until the food goes from 9 refills to 8 and ect) so if i spend >1 minute on one level then one thing of its “food” should last 10-15 levels, not completely out of food around 20-23 levels. Side note: if you refresh your game (an ad broke and froze, or because you got an unskippable ad and theres already so many ads that they dont deserve that much of my time) then your pet food will automatically go down by 1. Maybe to deter people from swiping to avoid unskippable ads. Either way, should fix this. ### 2/5 — Nervige Ads *2026-08-11, version 2.3.1* Das Spiel an sich ist gut. Nur jede 10 Sekunden gibt es irgendeine Werbung. Absolut nervig. ### 3/5 — まさに時間を忘れる *2026-08-08, version 2.3.1* ヒントが理由をちゃんと教えてくれるので理解が進み、次々に解けていくようになるのが本当に楽しい。ただ、ヒントを使っても「これらのマスを消去できます」とだけしか教えてもらえないこともあり、なんでそのマスが消去できるのかの理由が知れないとモヤモヤします。ヒントなんだからちゃんとしっかりなんでそうなるのかを教えてほしい ### 2/5 — x’s *2026-08-06, version 2.3.1* the x’s keep disappearing when i play so i can barely decipher where to put queens making me want to delete the game period. ### 4/5 — Fantastic, a bit too many ads *2026-08-06, version 2.3.1* This game is perfect! No too easy that it’s boring, but not too hard that it’s frustrating. I got very sick for a week and was playing this game like there was no tomorrow. The only problem is that after every two games or so, it will give you an ad which is a bit annoying, but aside from that fact, great game! 8.5/10 ### 2/5 — Pay for No Ads but still has too many *2026-08-06, version 2.3.1* This game is fun, but I paid for No Ads and still get a LOT of ads… After each PvP game, there is an ad. No sense. Will find another game soon. Spam. ### 3/5 — 迅速な対応への感謝と質問 *2026-08-04, version 2.3.1* 英語表記のみだったのが最新のアプデで直りました！素早い対応ありがとうございます！ 広告削除を購入したのですが、いまいち削除された範囲がわかりません。間に入る広告はいつも通りです。 ### 3/5 — Zuerst: alle 5 Sterne... *2026-08-04* Macht eigentlich Spaß, aber irgendwann kann man nur weiterspielen, wenn man eins von zwei Tieren auswählt. Das heißt aber, man muss sich gegen das andere dieser beiden Tiere entscheiden. Da ich das nicht möchte, kann ich jetzt nicht mehr spielen. Schade. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review and feedback. The initial choice between a cat and a dog is simply to give you a firsthand experience of how the pet feature works. As you progress in the game and gain more common and uncommon keys, you will be able to unlock more pets and freely choose between your unlocked pets to equip them. We hope this helps clarify things so you can continue having fun! ### 2/5 — Wayyyy too many ads *2026-08-03, version 2.3.1* Too annoying to play because of all of the ads ### 4/5 — 面白いけど *2026-08-03, version 2.3.0* 勝手に英語表記になるのやめてほしい。 ### 4/5 — 面白いが… *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* 面白くて遊んでいたのだが、日本語表示だったのが突然英語表示になってしまった… ゲームプレイ自体に支障はないのだが、英語が苦手なのでペットの説明文が読みにくなったり、違和感があるので、早く日本語表示に戻して欲しい… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — X-O *2026-08-31, version 2.4.0* Game doesn’t always load add-ons purchased. Customer service hasn’t resolved my issues or credited my account. Now they ignore my messages. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-08-30, version 2.4.0* Absolute insane amount of ads. Completely unplayable ### 1/5 — Too many ads and animations *2026-08-27, version 2.4.0* Annoying ads that pop up after 5 levels. The early stages of each game are so easy, and take seconds to complete, but then you’re forced to sit through long adverts that are a pain to get rid of. This is despite having an ad banner permanently at the bottom of the screen. Too many unnecessary animations. Deleted within minutes of downloading. ### 1/5 — Don’t ever buy the ad-free version *2026-08-27, version 2.4.0* These deceptive companies always have to make certain they bleed you somehow. The ad-free version seems like a good deal if you get the package early, but if you get it, they suddenly ad a timer to your puzzles, ruining the zen feeling and trying to make you have a reason to still watch ads voluntarily so you can finish the puzzle ### 1/5 — Too many animations *2026-08-22, version 2.3.1* Not difficult and too many goofy animations that slow down gameplay and progression. ### 1/5 — NO NOT GET THIS *2026-08-22, version 2.3.1* It will try and hack you don’t get it ### 1/5 — Stop the never ending candy crush saga ads! *2026-08-15, version 2.3.1* Honestly, Queens Master is a fun little puzzle, but not worth the LONG wait through every Candy Crush Saga Ad. Each ad is way longer than it takes to solve a puzzle. I’m going to have to delete Queens Master so I don’t sling my iPad across the room when another long ad starts. ### 1/5 — Long advertisements! *2026-08-15, version 2.3.1* I like the game and the controls however the advertisements are often and far longer than other similar games. ### 1/5 — Fundamentally Flawed *2026-08-06, version 2.3.1* I’ve played every single “Queen doku” variant available because I love the format. This one is the absolute worst, because it doesn’t follow the basic rules: one per color, row, and column. Some rows/columns have no queen — causing the logic to fail. ### 1/5 — Great mental game but… *2026-08-05, version 2.3.1* Suddenly there is a long advert at each level and sometimes you cannot get out of the ad so whilst I appreciate ads pay the bucks this has ruined the game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it, but! *2026-08-22, version 2.3.1* I keep seeing duplicate puzzles. That’s kind of annoying. ### 5/5 — Hey Kwalee read this *2026-08-17, version 2.3.1* This game is amazing. I love it. But, it’s so good that it’s gotten ripped off by AI slop “developers” and turned into things like MeowDoku (biggest one) and others like CatDoku, FishDoku, blah blah blah. There might be RhinoDoku for all I know. But they aren’t giving any credit to Queens Master, and making TONS of money. Do something. ### 5/5 — love it! *2026-08-14, version 2.3.1* so much fun, nicely challenging. My only complaint is the new feature that allows someone to “challenge” you. Easy to turn down, sure, but I wish there were a way to opt out of that ### 5/5 — Don’t know *2026-08-13, version 2.3.1* YALL GOATED! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-09, version 2.3.1* Not easy but fun game. Can win every level, if you think logically. Good to pass time. ### 5/5 — Leaderboard idea *2026-08-05, version 2.3.1* I like the idea of the weekly competition to get legend medals but in the leaderboard screen I think there should be a all time level leaderboard to see who has completed the most levels ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* Favourite Queens app so far! Free version ads are a bit too much so I went straight for paid. Very satisfying and now my go to game when I just wanted to blank out a few minutes and play puzzles. Some of the hints "__ tiles can be eliminated" without any further explanation is a bit of a pity, would love to understand what did I miss when I use a hint. But all in all love it! ### 5/5 — 更新完沒有中文 *2026-07-30, version 2.3.0* 很好玩的遊戲，但這次更新完找不到語言設置的地方，習慣看中文介面，請協助處理，謝謝！！ ### 5/5 — Nice brain game *2026-07-28, version 2.3.0* Good for geometry and brain similar to sudoku challenging and fun i think no ads so… VERY GOOD GAME! (Shout out to the creator(s) ### 5/5 — 再戦ボタンだけほしい *2026-07-28, version 2.3.0* CMスキップの課金だけしてとても楽しくプレイさせてもらっています。スキマ時間にサクッと出来るのがとても気に入っています。一つだけ操作で面倒だなと思うのが対人戦で連続で戦いたい時に1回ずつホームに戻って選んで、としなくてはいけないところです。 リザルトの画面で次のレベルとホームの他に再戦するボタンがあると嬉しいなと思います。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
