### 5/5 — fun and challenge

*2026-08-30, version 1.7.4*

Simple, clean, and surprisingly addictive. The puzzles are fun and make you think without being too stressful. I especially like the daily puzzle and the different difficulty levels. Great game to pick up for a few minutes.

### 2/5 — Shein ad

*2026-08-17, version 1.7.3*

This app is great I use it a lot although starting this week I just keep getting sent to shein without clicking on anything over and over again

### 5/5 — F

*2026-08-16*

Game is great but it keeps jumping into the ads as if I clicked it- getting really annoying

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’ll continue working to improve the ad experience. If you run into any other issues, please feel free to contact us via Settings → Contact Us.

### 3/5 — Major ad glitch makes it unplayable

*2026-07-28*

I want to love this game, but every time I watch an ad I get stuck in a loop that does not allow me to go back and get my reward! I would HAPPILY pay to remove ads for hints. I don’t even really mind the ads, but I need to be able to “x” out of it and back to the game.

**Developer response:** We’re very sorry about this. Ads are provided by third-party advertising platforms, so we cannot directly control their content or close buttons.

We’ve noticed that some ads hide the “X” until you tap the screen once after the video ends. If you still cannot close the ad or receive your reward, please contact us through Settings → Contact Us, preferably with a screen recording. We’ll also report this issue to the advertising platform.

We appreciate your suggestion about a paid option for ad-free hints and will seriously consider it.

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2026-07-15*

I love the game I haven’t ran into any problems so far. Thank you for the challenge

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re glad you’re enjoying the challenge. If you ever run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to contact us anytime through Settings → Contact Us.

### 3/5 — Fun but annoying

*2026-07-04*

Discovered this game playing on my computer and then got this app for my phone. It’s well designed with plenty of levels and the hints are insightful sometimes. It’s the amount of ads that’s incredibly annoying. On my computer all the hints are free so I can hint my way through a hard puzzle to learn how to solve them better. For this app it’s a 30 second ad with four different buttons to close to get only one hint, which is fine if it’s a complex row deduction but for only one square elimination or to be told don’t forget to count your rows here! Is pissing me off. And then there’s also ads in between puzzles. You should be able to watch one ad for 10 hints or be able to watch a 2 minute ad for a free hints pass for 24 hours. On a difficult puzzle I end up spending more time on the ads than the puzzles themselves. Even if you pay for the ad free version you still only get one free hint a day. If it gave you unlimited free hints like I can get on my computer I would consider paying for it. If this is improved I will update my review.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoy the design, levels, and the logic behind the hints.

About hints that sometimes only remove one square: our hint system calculates the next logical step based on the current board state. Sometimes that small elimination is actually the key step required before more advanced deductions become possible. If we skipped it and jumped ahead, the next hint might become much harder to understand.

Regarding ads: we agree that a completely ad-free experience is always better. Our current model is to make all levels free and available to everyone, so ads help support continued development. Some puzzle games use a different approach with a limited number of free levels followed by paid level packs or subscriptions. We chose this model because we want every player to be able to access all puzzles.

We’re also adding more ways to get free hints. Currently, players can already receive free hint rewards during weekend events, and our next update will introduce a daily check-in feature with more free rewards.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Feedback like this really helps us improve the game, and we’ll keep working to make the hint experience better. ❤️

### 1/5 — Adverts

*2026-06-27, version 1.7.1*

So many adverts for hints and rewinds - not worth it. If you pay, you still get ads. Avoid

### 3/5 — Some improvements for 5 star

*2026-06-26, version 1.7.1*

Good game, scratches the same itch as the NYT version, something that’s missing is adding other notes to squares, I always jot down boxes to denote ‘there is a star in this area’ or some way of noting that a star must be in related squares.

### 5/5 — Best queens app

*2026-05-20*

This is hands down the best app for queens/star battle etc games. The note taking, x autofilling, undo, and hints features are the best I’ve seen in any similar apps. The biggest downside is that there aren’t enough puzzles!! I’ve finished all 1000 puzzles and do the daily puzzle every day—I really wish there were more! Please bring back the event packs or add more 14x14 games!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! 😊 We’re really happy to hear you enjoy auto X-fill, undo, and hint systems.

More content, especially 14x14 puzzles and event packs are coming，and we’re definitely considering adding more in next version. Thanks again for the support and for playing every day!

### 3/5 — Well-done app but can’t sit through ads

*2026-03-30*

This is a good game and fun to play. I purchased the remove ads version however I still have to watch an ad to get a hint. I understand this is how the app is built, but I don’t have the patience or the time to do that, I’d rather pay to get a hint.

**Developer response:** Update: Based on player feedback, we’ve recently added a new benefit for Ad-Free players. After completing the Daily Challenge, Ad-Free players can now receive a free Hint reward each day. The shop system is also added in settings.

Thank you again for helping us improve the game!









Thanks for your support and feedback.
Remove Ads currently removes forced ads, while hint ads remain optional rewarded ads, as explained in the game. We understand this may still be inconvenient for some players. 

In the next version, we plan to add more ways to obtain hint items. Thanks again for helping us improve the game.
