### 3/5 — Good game but please fix bugs

*2021-04-14, version 5.10.7*

It’s a great game and good way to pass time, but I’m getting frustrated with the glitches. Sometimes it’s laggy, so when you close it out and open again, your progress is set back. The same happens for when it crashes, or when you’ve been in another app too long and switch back to this one. I wish it autosaved more often so chunks of work didn’t get deleted every time I wanna reply to a text or take a break.

Also, the daily puzzles on the calendar are incredibly difficult to load, and some aren’t marked as completed (as indicated by a colored background) or updated to remove the pink “new” dot on the calendar view. It always says 99+ days that I need to get through, because it never marks them as complete.

**Developer response:** Dear user! Thank you for you review. Please contact our Support team at the application and tell about your issue in more detail, we will try to help you!

### 3/5 — Quit only using like 6 different shapes for a whole puzzle!!!

*2020-09-18, version 5.10.7*

I loved this game so dang much, and I would just play the same ones over and over cuz they never had any new ones. So they finally get new ones and they make the white picture out of like 3 different shapes so instead of being challenging and having to find 3 tony shapes I. A big picture, they give your 110 do it’s, stawberries, and corn... and it’s boring to just keep clicking no. The same tho Grover and over. If they would just  make the new pictures as complex as the old ones I wouldn’t play anything else.

### 3/5 — GlitchesGetStitches

*2020-09-15, version 5.10.7*

i love this game but find i have to keep restarting the game due to (1) the screen goes allow white and doesn’t return. or (2) sometimes when i fully complete a picture, it doesn’t suggest a next image (due to glitch), so i go to select a new image, and find that the image i ‘thought’ i completed is still incomplete. and i end up having to ‘complete’ the image 3-4 times. 

i really love this game but the cons (this constant restarting) is starting to outweigh the pros (the charm and fun of the game).

please please please fix the glitches!

### 2/5 — Enjoyable but...

*2020-08-04, version 5.9.5*

I like this type of puzzle but this one crashes after 5 to 10 minutes consistently,  you can never start a new puzzle after apparently finishing one (apparently being the operative word) and the ads are incessant.  Even if it worked, $10 per week is outrageous. Little Things Forever (a similar but superior app) had a one time cost which I paid happily and I still use. A lot of work will have to go into this before it is worthwhile

### 2/5 — Fix the bugs already

*2020-07-20, version 5.9.5*

I’ve been playing this for about 6 months and there are habitual crashes, multiple times in one sitting. That’s unacceptable considering the developer has had this same feedback from multiple reviews dating back more than a year ago. Also, completed puzzles show that they aren’t competed. The game constantly loses your progress so you have to start at least 10% behind where you left off. Disappointed to see these bugs haven’t been corrected yet.

### 3/5 — Not many of the favorites

*2020-07-09, version 5.9.5*

Clearly people like the types in “most popular” more than any other section, but there are not many there. Please add to this section before others. That is most relaxing and fun, the others are not as fun. 
I have also had the same problems as spikenomore where the whole photo will switch off the images. This is frustrating because you are blindly tapping around. 

But seriously, please fix the lack of favorite puzzles. These see, to be the most popular overall, and as a company, you would want to satisfy your gamers.

### 3/5 — Fun but buggy

*2020-05-17, version 5.9.1*

The game is fun but has some bugs; new ones even after the recent update. Sometimes the part you click on to color is off a bit and makes it difficult to color the remaining parts. The app doesn’t register finishing a picture until it’s finished buzzing for every single tap. Which is annoying to wait for after you’ve finished coloring, otherwise if you leave the picture it won’t save your progress. Could be very fun but needs some updating.

### 2/5 — Crashes and glitches. A great idea for a game, but very poor execution.

*2020-05-15, version 5.8.13*

This is a fun game and I have enjoyed playing it for many months, but for the last two months I have had issues with the game crashing frequently and when I am finally able to get it to reload, the progress I have made is partially lost. For about a week I have noticed that whenever I click on an image it gives me an x indicating that I have clicked on the wrong image. After clicking around including on an incorrect image it counts the image as selected. Very frustrating!

### 3/5 — Love this game

*2020-05-14, version 5.8.13*

I have been playing this game for a few weeks and I have started to notice that some of the puzzles I have a hard time selecting the pieces on. Some are just fine. I hope you can find a solution to this and soon as it is very frustrating when one have to point around to try to select the piece for more than 10 seconds. Please fix this problem.

### 3/5 — Update ruined the controls

*2020-05-13, version 5.8.13*

The app was initially working for me, however ever since the app updated to “fix bugs” there have been more issues than ever. When I try to click icons, they won’t light up and I’ll have to click the surrounding area before it’ll be marked as correct. While this is annoying but generally fine for pictures where the icons are in a line or general blob area, for the pictures where the icons are dispersed this becomes very annoying, especially since the size of the icon seems to play a part in how far off the game thinks the icon actually is.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2020-05-13, version 5.8.13*

I really do like this game. But sometimes when I zoom in on parts of a picture the pieces get fuzzy and parts are cut off altogether. Then the app crashes all the time. Not to mention the latest problem where it thinks the picture is two inches away from where it actually is. I mean I’ll touch an item but it won’t think I’m touching it. I have to move my finger over two inches depending on how zoomed in or out I am to the right and then it’ll register. I can’t ever tell where I’m touching because I’m tapping on blank space.

### 2/5 — Love the game but way too many bug issues to truly enjoy

*2020-05-13, version 5.8.13*

While I absolutely love this game and would pay for a subscription, I am glad I tried the free version first and read some reviews.  This game is excellent and extremely relaxing/enjoyable if it were not for all of the bug issues.  You may choose a puzzle or the daily and, when given the list, you start clicking on items only to find an X when you click - on the correct item - it seems this game has an issue with gauging where the items are because if you start clicking in the vicinity of that initial item that was exed you find the sweet spot and voila the item is now colored and crossed off the list. If you pay total attention to the offset of a few items you can start to pick up the range of how far off the game is and get quite a few.  But then that doesn’t last long before you are back to striking out when actually hitting items on the list.  Bye bye. Will miss the game but not the drama.

### 3/5 — Uggggh!

*2020-05-10, version 5.8.13*

This is one of my favorite apps. I’ve been able to overlook some of the small glitches before, but this new update that supposedly “fixed bugs” made it impossible to play. Now when I tap on one of the objects, it either makes nothing happen or that annoying x keep appearing. If this isn’t fixed soon, there’s literally no point in keeping this game.

### 3/5 — Mixed Feelings

*2020-05-07, version 5.8.6*

I love this game and enjoy playing it! However, there are several glitches that make the game less enjoyable. Like other reviews, once I collected an item, it would freeze until i reloaded the game. I also experienced other glitches such as the screen freezing or the app just shutting down. 
Other than that, I enjoy all of the puzzles they offer... just fix the glitches!!!

### 3/5 — Love but disappointed

*2020-04-21, version 5.8.6*

I absolutely love to play this game. It is fun and addicting. However since the last updates it has a lot of glitches. I get kicked out in the middle of a game and when I get back on to finish it I may get kicked out again. Then when I do finish it, it will show that it is still not completed when it is. The daily pics will change daily. So a pic may show up for January one day and then show up in February the next day. There is no way do in app purchase. I had completed all the pictures before the pixel was added that’s when the game started glitching. So I deleted it and down loaded it again and lost all the progress I had made which is fine since I like playing it. Would have gave it 5 star but to many ads and glitches and steep pricing.

### 4/5 — Can’t stop playing

*2020-04-13, version 5.7.7*

I absolutely love this game. It keeps my attention much longer than others which is hard with 3 kids around. It does get difficult but it’s more challenging than hard. I do wish there were more challenges like “finish all the hard puzzles”. The pixel ones are not my favorite. 
Unfortunately I took “advantage” of the free week of the upgraded service. I’m not 100% what it provides. I will not be renewing for $8.99 a week. That’s crazy! Another note, when I did that it erased ALL of my hints and bombs. I had 70+ hints from finishing all but 2 of the challenges and 20 bombs or something.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2021-03-14, version 5.10.7*

This is a great games, I really enjoy it. It seems every time I try to play the screen is white. I have to reboot to get the game back. Also, when zooming in for small objects, it won’t let you select them. Finally, half the time I have to tap and item many times before it registers. Fix the bugs and I’ll give it 4 or even 5 stars.

All I get when I open the app is a white screen. I miss playing and wish the developers would fix the bugs.

I will be deleting soon, I can rarely play. That means calling it a stress relief is false advertising.

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2020-12-02, version 5.10.7*

I enjoy the game however not the glitches. I try to open the game and it takes forever to open. Once the game finally opens I end up getting a white screen and end up having to uninstall and then reinstall. This corrects the issue for about two days and the same problem occurs. I wish these things were corrected because the game is relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately I will not play this game anymore because others have complained about the glitches and the app developers have still not fixed the problem. Sad

### 1/5 — I used to love this game

*2020-05-29, version 5.9.2*

I finally found a game I love, but the only problem is every time i finish a piece it says completed but then it’s shows up in progress. Another thing is throughout the game it  would freeze then close out, when you open the game to finish, it takes you back to the beginning. It’s been like this for some time. I tired for a while or maybe i thought it was just the device i was using and it’s literally the same thing on any device i play on. I’m kind of disappointed now.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-08-11, version 5.1.4*

I like this app but it has 2 major issues. First of all, it freezes up or crashes completely multiple times every time I use it. The freezes can last anywhere from 10 seconds to full minutes. Secondly, the amount of ads you have to watch is ridiculous. You have to watch an ad to unlock your picture and then every 5/10 minutes another ad will just pop up. The only way to get rid of them is to pay for weekly access! It’s so annoying that I’ve started looking for something else to play to help me wind down at night. The ads make this app more irritating than its worth.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2019-07-01, version 5.1.4*

I absolutely love this game, but the weekly subscription is way too expensive. I have completed all of the free levels and was even sitting through ads to complete other levels. However, now all of the levels that are not free require a subscription. I would be more than willing to pay a one time fee because I really enjoy this game, but I cannot justify a weekly subscription. The game now constantly crashes and I can no longer scroll up to see additional levels. Fix the bugs and change the payment and I would be more than happy to give 5 stars

### 1/5 — This is my problem

*2019-06-19, version 5.1.4*

I love this game but there is 1 problem that ruins the game it’s that I have to pay as I said this problem ruins the whole game please make it free I thought i downloaded a nice free game that I loved but no it turns out I have to pay if this doesn’t get fixed by the time my trial is done I have to delete it and tell all my cousins,sisters,brothers and even my mom and dad to delete it we all love the game and we are all on trial we will delete this game and tell all the people we know to delete and never download this game again so please fix this bc even if we pay we are going to waste our money so please fix this

### 1/5 — Uninstalling :(

*2018-12-03, version 3.1.3*

Had this app for a few weeks and really enjoyed it... until an update caused every single puzzle to require the subscription, including several that is already started. Thinking it could be some sort of updated problem, I checked the App Store for info and found another review for the same problem. Developer replied with advice saying this must be an error. When I followed this advice and reinstalled the app, all the progress I had made on all puzzles was completely gone and guess what... they still all require the subscription to be played. Very disappointed in what was a great and entertaining app for becoming virtually useless.

**Developer response:** Dear A1C0G2F1! It sounds very strange. There was a situation yesterday and we fixed it. We've just tested the game on 5 ihpone different devices and everything works just fine. Wait for some second and after the cross appears on the subscription window press it. You'll get  access to the levels. You shouldn't reinstall, but re enter the game. We are working to create the possibility to keep your progress, but now we don't have it and you lost it :(
I woun't ask you to install the app again, but in our excuse I want to say the game is still in building process and some problems definitely can occure in the nearest future( as it happened after the last update). But untill the game isn't completely finished all we need is your patience, friendly comments and understanding that we are not machines, just people like everybody. And people can make mistakes. Thank you! Have a good day :)

### 2/5 — Great concept but extremely glitchy!

*2022-03-16, version 5.10.7*

I really enjoy the idea of this game, it’s different from any others out there. However, it’s very glitchy. The puzzles go out of focus, or sometimes disappear altogether. It’s very slow to keep up with your clicks, freezes, and a lot of times doesn’t register your click. Update: took another star away because game doesn’t save often enough. I had almost finished a picture (like 3/4 done) over at least a hour & a halfs worth of time…..closed it out to go do something else and came back and I was almost back to the beginning of the puzzle! I lost all that time and work! So frustrating! 
Another update: Developers responses are a joke.

**Developer response:** Dear user! Thank you for you review. Please contact our Support team in the application and tell about your issue in more detail, we will try to help you!

### 2/5 — Love the game, but

*2021-11-04, version 5.10.7*

I love the game, and would enjoy it more, except for the screen being completely white a good portion of the time. I have to continually turn my IPhone off and then back on, in order to play the game. On the plus side, I have noticed that when I finish everything and delete the game and then add it again, there’s usually one or two different pictures to color. Other than that, it’s a great game. Just need to fix the issues.

### 2/5 — Too Many Glitches

*2020-09-16, version 5.10.7*

This could be a great game, however I would never pay $40 a month for any game. There are so many glitches that it is becoming impossible to play. Now every time I click on a picture, all I get is a white screen that will not go away. I delete the app and reload it and still have the white screen. I’ve seen other complaints about this and nothing is being done to correct it! Don’t waste your time!

### 5/5 — More pictures please

*2021-08-25, version 5.10.7*

I think I already wrote a review a long time ago that I suggested that you please add more pictures. this is or was one of my favorite games and can’t find anything on the App Store like it please take my suggestions to heart , thanks

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME BUT

*2020-10-20, version 5.10.7*

Wowmaking LLC please fix bug on this game It keeps going 1st it goes blurry then it fixes and then it goes blank then that fix it self it does this all though out the puzzle even the screen goes all white that’s when I have to shut my phone off and on it does go way for a bit then it starts over again please try to fix the bug don’t know if anyone else has this problem thanks

**Developer response:** Dear User!
Thank you for your feedback
We will try to do our best to meet your needs!

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2020-03-30, version 5.6.4*

Almost daily I say to myself, “This game is so hard, why do I keep playing it?!” However, I continue to play it every day. I enjoy the challenge of the more difficult pictures. I play at least one easy picture every day, and several more difficult ones. I have very few complaints, sometimes I have a hard time getting the app to load sometimes the app just goes to a white screen. These may not be developer problems.

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2020-02-28, version 5.5.7*

This is a very fun game with puzzles in a variety of difficulties.  It’s well made.  It’s never crashed on me, and the ads are well placed and don’t interrupt game play.  I love that they don’t show the full colored picture in the menu because it adds a bit of excitement in seeing how it’s going to turn out.  I rarely write reviews, but this was exceptionally fun and deserves a good review!

### 4/5 — Great game w some problems still

*2023-01-27, version 5.10.7*

I do really enjoy this game. Sometimes it gets laggy but if I close it and reopen it’s gone. My biggest complaint is that 2 of the pictures cannot be completed. One or a few of the items are too close to tap and color. I can’t complete a whole month of pictures because of this. One picture is a Viking and the other is some kind of monster. If those were fixed it would be great!

### 4/5 — Problem

*2022-05-07, version 5.10.7*

On my iPad I never had this problem before. Why when I get out of the puzzle and want to get back in it the page is a blank page. I have to delete the app and put it back in. 
Sometimes it doesn’t work. But I can down load it again on my phone

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2021-03-22, version 5.10.7*

It’s a fun game if you like to try & find things. 
There are a few items that I can’t tell what they are. Like the one that looks like a tall skinny mushroom with long line, or it’s a spade, or a bad arrow ? And there is one I assume is a water bottle and the one that looks almost exactly like it ? A pepper dispenser ?? 
> I like to say what I’m looking for but if I don’t know what it is, make that kinda difficult. 
And the avocado look alike is a key ???
>> A list of items and their name would be appreciated.

### 4/5 — Fun and annoying

*2020-08-26, version 5.10.7*

Love the premise of this game, but many more bugs than ‘Spikenomore’ mentioned. I have finished games, only to go back the next day to find them not completed. Sometimes, the item you hit turns colors and then freezes up back to gray. My preference would be to move the hint buttons as they obstruct the picture at times. All being said, I do enjoy the game, a great free  time waster, but not worth $.

### 4/5 — Great but glitchy

*2020-07-05, version 5.9.5*

This is definitely a fun, non-stressful game. It’s glitchy at times when the shapes are out of focus/hard to tell apart. Also glitchy on the daily puzzles - it’s showing I’ve only completed 27/30 of the June puzzles, but when I look at the incomplete, they say “completed.” If they would fix those kinds of glitches, I’d give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Keeps glitching!

*2020-05-24, version 5.9.2*

I’ve been playing this game nonstop for about a week and it kept messing up slightly before but now it’s throwing me out in the middle of an image then when I reopen the app to continue my picture, half of what I colored was erased and now I have to redo it 😔. I enjoy the game but I hope this problem gets fixed soon! 🖤
