### 3/5 — Good but..

*2022-05-02*

This is an interesting game, clever and not easy to solve. Because of that, my criticism is that the results disappear too quickly and there is no way to see the correct answer once you solve it in order to figure out how it works. It’s confusing that the positions of the numbers are not revealed but I understand that’s part of the difficulty and appeal. Still, that being said, we need the screen to either hold until dismissed once the puzzle is solved or the ability to go back and see what the correct answer was.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2021-09-22*

I love this game. The last 3 days it has been returning answers that are not possible. Something somewhere in the app is broken. Please, please fix it. Thank you for creating this app.

### 4/5 — Brain training

*2021-05-27*

Fun game! Would be better if you could increase levels of difficulty (i.e. numbers can repeat, five spaces, six spaces, seven, use of zero)

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2021-05-18, version 2.5.1*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Hidden guesses?

*2021-05-17*

In the new version all the guesses are hidden. Is that a bug?

**Developer response:** Hi exarchitect! Thanks for pointing this out. Fortunately this is now fixed in version 2.5.1. Have fun!

### 1/5 — Why you hidden numbers?

*2021-05-16, version 2.5.0*

What the points???
I don’t like it anymore

### 4/5 — Simple but fun

*2021-05-01, version 2.4.1*

Ignore the other review. The game is quite winnable.

### 3/5 — J'aime bien 👍

*2020-12-26, version 2.3.0*

Ça fait passer le temps dans les transports et stimule la cervelle ;-)

EDIT : la dernière version est buggée !!! 
Donc je retire une étoile...

### 5/5 — The numbers disappeared

*2020-03-25, version 2.2.3*

Update: Thank you for fixing it!

The app was just fine when code number guessed stopped displaying. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable time killer

*2020-03-22*

Fun puzzle game, only thing is the last couple times I’ve opened the game, my guesses no longer show on the board. The pegs light up but no guess, so not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s an issue with the game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment and impact. It is already fixed in 2.2.3.
