### 1/5 — Crash!

Game crashes before I can even play!

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2019-08-04*

Love the game, but needs fixing. Ran into a bug with the rulers and can't find a fix

### 2/5 — Ruler Glitch

*2019-06-28*

The rulers are glitching and don’t turn properly. Makes the levels impossible to complete. The game was fun otherwise. But you can’t pass ruler levels with how they spasm out.

### 1/5 — Crashes before it ever opens, useless, zero stars!

*2019-06-09*

Crashes before it ever opens. Useless app, because I couldn’t USE this APP any LESS than I do.  Thievery!  And shame on iTunes for forcing reviewers to give a minimum of 1 star, when clearly it’s a Zero star performance!!

### 1/5 — Would give 0 stars if I could

*2018-11-10*

Downloaded the game to my iPad. As soon as I try to open the app, it crashes. Have yet to be able to get into the game. Tried going through app support & wont let me send my request. Don’t buy. Not worth the money. Will dispute the charge with iTunes.

### 1/5 — GLITCH

*2018-10-16*

if i could give this 0 stars i would, because as soon as you get to the 2nd chapter there is a glitch that makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get past the rulers. the fact that i just paid $2.99 for a game that doesn’t even work sickens me.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2021-02-20*

I used to play this game on an iPod touch I had years ago and it was fantastic. I just got a new iPhone XR today and was excited to play this game again but upon spending $3 I found that I can’t even open it without the app crashing. Can I please either get help or a refund?

### 5/5 — IT FINALLY WORKS

*2026-08-25*

I remember playing this as a kid and enjoying the hell out of it. I bought the app again a year ago and it didn't work. Seems it wasn't built for modern iPhones. I was super bummed out. Fast forward to today and I was scrolling through my apps and noticed that this one had a different icon. So, I booted it up and lo and behold it WORKED!!! It's still exactly as fun as I remember it being.

### 5/5 — update the game 💗

*2022-02-26, version 3.00*

Hi! I would love for you guys to update the game so I can play this on my iPhone 11

i used to play this game on my iPad mini years ago and I just want the nostalgia 😭

I don’t think it’s compatible with this phone so please could you make it work with iPhone 11!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-09-17, version 3.00*

Brilliant

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2019-07-28*

I like it. My kids like it. Great memory tool!

### 5/5 — Just a great game!

*2019-05-26, version 3.00*

I’ve had this game for years. It’s the only one that has lasted constantly on my phone next to all the other games that have come and gone. You can pick it up and love it or ignore it for a few months and the smily pencil is always there for u in those times of needing distraction without brain numbing. Would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2018-09-20, version 3.00*

I forgot how much I love this game. I had it a few years ago, removed it from my phone, and then just recently added it back and I enjoy it a lot!
