### 2/5 — Mega error at ballon puzzle!

*2023-04-02*

As unfortunately with so many other of your F2P games, which I appreciate because of the free to play, I regularly encounter gross mistakes. In this game thenallon ride puzzle! The help. Clearly says  go through ALL tiles, which is impossible, and the solution shortcuts then going only through parts of the arrow tiles. Thats a hiuge programming error or cheat!

### 2/5 — Secret City 4

*2022-03-11, version 1.0.8*

Very frustrating - unable to use arrow to release the red ruby or place bas-relief.  Seems to have happened to others by reading reviews.

### 3/5 — Secret city 4

*2022-01-29, version 1.0.8*

Half way through the game and I’m stuck due to a glitch in the game. I’m unable to use the arrow to pick out the ruby eye on the well. It just won’t accept it.  Also unable to put the statue in the stone character scene.
Such a shame to get this far and can’t move on. Very frustrating and disappointed.

### 2/5 — Error with the sound (voices)

*2021-12-17*

What happened with the sound of the voices? Checked the button in settings, even deleted the game and installed again and no change at all. I can hear the rest of the sounds although.

### 2/5 — Stuck outside ski lift won’t open

Stuck outside ,ski lift won’t open
 Stopped playing number 2 because of glitch

### 3/5 — Secret city 4

*2021-07-17, version 1.0.6*

I love the games but the reason for the low stars twice now on this and a couple of other games I’ve purchased rubies at 2.99 for 5 to skip a puzzle as soon as I use the first ruby the game shuts down even though I’ve skipped the puzzle previously I have to use another ruby to skip it AGAIN last time I buy rubies in some of the other  secret city games you only have to have 10 coins to skip a difficult puzzle you are not having much luck with GO BACK TO THAT!

### 1/5 — Full of bugs for ipad

*2023-01-07, version 1.1.0*

The game is full of bugs for ipad. Right now cannot pass the qr code step. Dissapointing.

### 1/5 — This Game Should Go Back To Development

*2022-10-22*

This is one of the least responsive games I’ve played. So many times I tapped on an object or dragged a tool into a scene, only for nothing to happen.  Then, out of desperation, I use a Hint. Lo and behold, it’s the exact thing I tried to do twenty times!  This is ridiculous, and I hope they decide it’s worth it to fix this issue.

**Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your feedback and will keep working hard on our hidden object games! You can contact us at support.dominigames.com if you have any issues. We will be happy to help.

Айфон 11, не загружается. Чёрный экран и вылетает

### 1/5 — Can’t finish game due to bug

### 1/5 — Secret City 4 titanology game

*2022-06-04, version 1.1.0*

Please can you fix the titanology game! This does not work!! I have tried everything. I have watched all the YouTube videos for this and still does not work! I cannot go forward without this “phone” game working. It is so frustrating!!

### 1/5 — Phone + QR code bug

*2021-11-28, version 1.0.8*

I’m trying to pass the puzzle where you scan the QR code on the phone, but it does not seem to work. The main problem is that the card itself is not aligned center to the box. Can’t seem to pass it and I do not want to waste the one ruby I have. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Having trouble

*2021-11-16*

In the game where, in the beginning, where the chalk gets stolen.  I am having a hard time moving the pictures.  Takes a few times at least to move a picture.  Sometimes they go in the opposite direction that I want them to go.

When the car is on fire and i have to play the game with the green gems on a checker type board.  I put one down and touch another and it makes me start over.

### 1/5 — Se bloquea

*2021-10-14, version 1.0.6*

El juego se queda bloqueado en varias ocasiones. No se puede continuar ni con pistas. Abandono

### 1/5 — Stuck with no actions!

*2021-09-13, version 1.0.6*

Was doing really well.  I used the hairpin to open the cupboard and then had to leave the game.  Going back into it my hairpin has gone and the cupboard is locked.  Used a hint and it says there is no task to do.  That’s it then I can’t finish the game.

### 5/5 — Loving this xx

*2023-07-07, version 1.1.0*

Great as always xxxx

### 5/5 — Ziemlich gut!

*2023-01-29, version 1.1.0*

Mag diese Reihe sehr und lade mir gerade Teil 5 runter :) hoffe er ist mehr wie die ersten 3, fand Teil 4 teils schwammig beim interagieren. Aber dass hat nicht den Spaß an der Geschichte genommen. Großes Lob für die immer neuen Geschichten🤗🥰

### 5/5 — I love these games

*2022-11-18*

The games are enjoyable, and I’ve had very few "bugs" with them. Also, the developers are quick to respond to problems. Just one thing bugs me … they all drain my iPad battery like crazy. I’ve never had this happen with other developers’ games. Any thoughts on why that happens?

**Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your feedback and will keep working hard on our hidden object games! You can contact us at support.dominigames.com if you have any issues. We will be happy to help.

### 5/5 — 좋야요

영어인데도 쉽고 재미있어어 너무 좋아요
재미 있어요

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for rating us 5 stars ✨ Your kind words about our search and find game make us feel wonderful! We hope you have a great day.

### 5/5 — Einfach toll!

*2022-05-27, version 1.1.0*

Ich liebe diese Spiele. Prima aufgebaut. Klasse, dass sie kostenlos sind.

### 5/5 — Can’t hear the voices!!!

*2022-01-09*

When the characters talk to you, you can’t hear them!! What’s up with that?? There must be a major glitch with the sound in this game!! I know you would want me to email your specialists, but I don’t get paid to email game developers issues with their games!! That’s what pre-release testing is for!! I love the secret city series, but issues like this make me less inclined to play these games! I would have given the game a better rating, but the sound issue made me take 3 stars away. Sorry, domini games 🤬

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will forward all the information you’ve provided to our development team. Thank you for helping us improve casual hidden object games!

### 5/5 — Отлично, но

*2021-08-08, version 1.0.6*

Стала вылетать игра. Нажимаю играть, он вылетает… так обидно. Исправьте пожалуйста

### 5/5 — Can't use wrench

*2021-07-12*

When I got to the Alps, and picked up wrench I couldn't use it on the faucet nut. It keeps telling me " thats not right".
