Good so far!

I would like to see a feature next to the keyboard that allows me to move to the next letter without having to reach up into the puzzle to click it.

It's okay

It's decent. I suppose it's what you would expect from one of these games. I only had the chance to play the mini training round before I was compelled to write this review, so I don't have much more I can say. My 8-year-old daughter likes the one available music option.

Makes you think

Great thinking and problem solving puzzle. Definitely takes some time to figure out the puzzles, but the app is user friendly. I received a note as soon as I downloaded that it makes your phone run slower, hopefully they can fix that.

Good so far

The app is asking for a review pretty early on in exchange for a free pack of puzzles, which is kind of strange since the tutorial literally just finished... But, so far the game is good. If you love cryptograms, this looks to have a lot of puzzles in it and it's very easy to use.

Fun

Pretty good so far, though really wish they would provide the author as part of the cipher - kind of an essential part of cryptoquotes. Also, only works in landscape mode for some reason. Nice interface.
