### 2/5 — Ads and tokens

*2026-08-11, version 1.1.15*

Whenever I watch an ad it ends and there’s no way out of it or it’s a game that you play forever and there’s no way out of it - so I never get any tokens for watching ads

### 5/5 — Snood

*2026-07-22, version 1.1.15*

It is so fun and you don’t need internet 
🥰😁

### 5/5 — snood is holding my life together

*2026-07-20, version 1.1.15*

snood is genuinely all I have after my wife left me and took the kids and the dog. I play it daily and my favorite is the green one because he sticks his tongue out and it’s funny.

### 5/5 — PLAY SNOOD

There is no limit to the glaze.

### 5/5 — Heavy Nostalgia

*2026-06-05, version 1.1.15*

Sneeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuud

### 3/5 — Make larger

*2026-06-05, version 1.1.15*

Screen area is too small, and should enlarge when the phone is turned sideways.

### 5/5 — Olden days

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2026-05-27, version 1.1.15*

Ever since i started playing snood nothing else has mattered, i don’t worry about anything as long as i can play a bit of snood at the end of the day. Thank you snoods… i will save you as you saved me…

### 3/5 — Money grab

*2026-05-25, version 1.1.15*

Downloaded this for the memories of playing 20 years ago. Now it asks for money to continue playing. Watching an add doesn’t give you the promised tokens, just nearly forces you to download another app

### 5/5 — excelent

*2026-05-19, version 1.1.15*

snood is the best

### 5/5 — Been a fan for 30 years

*2026-04-17, version 1.1.15*

Great game my wife loves it too.

### 3/5 — Fun game, but puzzles is broken

*2026-04-16, version 1.1.15*

I loved playing this game as a kid, so I registered, thinking I could choose which puzzle I play. Not so, each time it makes you start from the beginning. Very disappointing, I don’t want to keep playing the same puzzles each time, playing 20-30 puzzles to get to the new ones.

### 5/5 — Fun finger play.

*2026-04-11, version 1.1.14*

I've enjoyed Snood figuring out shots and the animations of the Snoods.

### 5/5 — Still fun!

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.14*

I played this two decades ago in college and was thrilled to find it again! Just as fun as always.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-01, version 1.1.15*

I thought I’d give it a shot to see if it was like the original. The blue thing is I don’t remember the original trapping me in an ad that I couldn’t get out of. Piss poor.

### 1/5 — Greedy

### 1/5 — Not fun, just infuriating

*2026-03-25, version 1.1.14*

I forgot how addictive and yet not actually fun this game is. Makes you want to smash your phone. Awful. Go play a puzzle bobble clone instead.

### 1/5 — Nostalgia Ripoff

*2025-12-30, version 1.1.10*

I was excited to see this and playing the hell out of it. Finally something that isn’t trying to milk you with a subscription service! Except if you buy a silver membership it doesn’t have unlimited plays and if you try to upgrade later they want almost $40 for this 20 year old game. Disgusting. Wish I never found it again as it’s left an awful taste in my mouth. Greedy.

### 1/5 — I paid march 2025, had full version & they reverted me back to LITE version.

*2025-10-14, version 1.1.4*

BOO!!  No option to restore my purchase. Where is the game I paid for that worked perfectly prior to update? The game I paid for is now LOCKED.. but you still have my money!

### 1/5 — Update is terrible

*2025-09-26, version 1.1.3*

It looks awful and there’s no way to turn down the bright background.

### 1/5 — Update has ruined experience

*2025-09-22, version 1.1.3*

I played this game religiously on my computer as a teen and recently rediscovered it. Was playing nightly on my iPad to unwind from the day, but the new update and smaller screen has ruined the experience for me. :(

### 1/5 — Crashes on boot

*2025-09-12, version 1.1.3*

Used to not do that

### 1/5 — Update killed it

*2025-09-03*

I was a kid when Snood first came out, and I used to love playing it after school. As an adult it was fun to rediscover it here on the AppStore. It was a good, nostalgic timekiller. I have truly enjoyed playing it. 

They recently updated the interface to modernize it. And it’s horrible. There is now an additional loading screen between levels of Puzzle and Journey that never used to be there. The game is filled with glitches. The X button at the end of Puzzle does not work. There is no robust offline score keeping system - and no part of the online leaderboard functions unless you are connect to the internet without a VPN.

If they wanted to release this as a new, separate game a la Doodle Jump 2, they could easily have done so, and they could have kept the original intact.

### 1/5 — Hate the new look!

*2025-09-03, version 1.1.1*

Long time Snood player. I loved the original design and hated every attempt to redesign it. Until this latest iteration, there was at least the option to play with the original version. Let’s have it back, please!

The one modification I would welcome is the option to select a background and stick with it. This new design doesn’t even do that properly. The background can be changed but the user must switch back to the game to see which background has randomly popped up, then back and forth until a favourite background appears. Terrible design! Please fix it!

### 5/5 — Love My Snood!

*2026-08-31, version 1.1.15*

Started playing Snood after work in the 90s to decompress from work and then played it for years.  Love it’s quirky sounds and it’s challenges.

### 5/5 — Oldie and Goodie

*2026-08-27, version 1.1.15*

Snood is the OG game that every bubble shooter game was patterned after. I’ve been playing Snood practically since it first came out, first on my desktop and now on my phone. I still play it every day.

### 5/5 — Every day

*2026-08-16, version 1.1.15*

Been playing snood since we first got it on the "software of the month" disc! Still a fabulous game and a superb time-waster!

### 5/5 — snood forever

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.15*

always snood

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.15*

Yes good yes I said so

### 5/5 — Janet F

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.15*

I used to play Snood years ago, and I recently started playing it again. I can’t believe how much I still love it! It’s fun, challenging, relaxing, and just as addictive as I remembered. In a world full of complicated games, Snood is a reminder that simple games can still be the most entertaining. I’m so glad I found my way back to it. Five stars from me!

### 5/5 — Elder Millennial Approved

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.15*

This is just like the game I remember from the 2000s. I love being able to relive my childhood on the go.

### 5/5 — Long Time Favorite

*2026-07-30, version 1.1.15*

My parents originally found this game back in the late 1990's by a friend of theirs, soon the whole family played including myself through out my childhood. 

Since it became mobile, now my own family plays it except the youngest. 

Thank you to the devs for keeping this game alive and going 😁

### 5/5 — A classic for a reason

*2026-07-28, version 1.1.15*

I’ve been playing Snood since 1998! Hail Snood!

### 5/5 — Twenty-five years

*2026-07-26, version 1.1.15*

That’s how long I’ve been playing. I was introduced by my sister who was introduced by a guy at our college named Ben. We were all addicted and it’s been great since then. Highly recommend!!
