### 3/5 — Three stars

*2014-05-23*

Just so so

### 1/5 — IT DOES NOT WORK!!

*2013-10-26*

Although they say it "requires iOS 5 or later", it does NOT work with iOS 5. It downloads, it installs, then when you launch it, it simply dumps you back to your Home screen. When I contacted the developer I was advised to upgrade to iOS 6! I can't. Apple support stops at iOS 5 for my device. My advice is to steer clear of all their apps until they can live up to their claims.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-03-09, version 2.1*

No support for multitasking. Really??
The developer clearly abandoned this app.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

### 3/5 — Needs Landscape mode

*2011-12-21*

Good, but seriously needs landscape mode.

### 5/5 — very good

*2011-12-14, version 2.1*

and free when i take

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-12-12*

Nothing to say except one word: Excellent !

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2011-12-12*

It is a nice game with a fantastic graphic.

### 5/5 — توفيق

*2011-10-02*

perfect!

### 5/5 — Please use app icon before last update!!

*2011-07-26*

Your app icon is great, but the new outline/border on the app icon does not look good. Please revert to the app icon that does not have the dimensional border/edge. It looked much better, and matched the style of the Apple app icons (which have no border).
Otherwise, this app is Perfect!! Great work!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2011-07-15*

Nice
