### 5/5 — Real fun

*2024-08-30*

Keep up the good work champ

### 1/5 — ADS

*2021-08-31, version 2.1.3*

I watch ads more than I play the game and there for I deleted the app because of that.

### 1/5 — Whyyyy

*2020-11-10, version 2.1.3*

Out of all the games why do you not offer ad removal! I want to practice this all day but after every round i have to watch an ad! I’m ready to pay to remove ads even if its more than a dollar, just please add the option to remove them!

### 5/5 — My favorite reaction app

*2020-05-11, version 2.1.3*

Nice darker and very nice looking simple theme. My favorite part is the adverts, they dont get in the way at all and are very quick i love it, it has multiple modes aswell so you can test yourself there too

### 1/5 — No Escape

*2020-04-18, version 2.1.3*

Keep getting ads that don’t have an exit, so I need to close the entire app and reopen it after almost every round

**Developer response:** There should definitely not be any ads that cannot be closed. I use google’s AdMob service for ads so it’s possible a malicious ad slipped through the cracks on their end. If you’d like to get in contact through my support link on the App Store about the particular ad you’re having issues with, I’d be glad to report it to them.

### 5/5 — Deceptively fun

*2019-05-02, version 2.1.1*

This game is one of those games that ate as fun as you make it.  You can play it a couple times, fail hard and rage quit sure.  But given a little more of a chance and it motivates you to keep trying.  And, while waiting for a certain movie to start me and my daughter played the duel mode and laughed 10 minutes straight as we inadvertently figured out we could just as easily sabotage each other as try and win legitimately.  Good stuff 👍. Also, the whole time we played we never so much as saw a single ad.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2019-04-03, version 2.1.1*

I get that the app needs ads to make money but when you push the button to play and it instantly goes to an ad that’s ridiculous. This app is a complete money grab and it doesn’t even work. Needs serious work

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest review- ads are truly only meant to be shown after you lose a game by tapping too early or not tapping before the timer expires. If ads are showing up before you can even play, that's a bug and we'll be looking into it ASAP.

### 2/5 — Why did you remove the timer?

*2018-12-03, version 2.0.1*

It now doesn’t show how quick your reactions are

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback- the timer will be back in the next update. For now, you can still keep track of your average reaction time via Game Center.

UPDATE: The timer is back in REFLEX 2.1!

### 5/5 — Yeet

*2018-01-18, version 1.1*

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
