### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-17, version 2.1.0*

Love this game and app. The look and layout are appealing and smooth.

### 1/5 — Update is horrible

*2026-05-19, version 2.0.0*

Used to absolutely love this game, but since the update, it has been difficult to play/navigate. I will be switching to another app until the updates have been fixed. For one the penciled notations are so tiny and difficult to see. Automatic notations or inputs. Also wrong notations and inputs are difficult to remove or erase. Please fix this game.

### 2/5 — Last Update Ruined

*2026-05-14, version 2.0.0*

The latest update made the game not enjoyable. The board feels smaller, the font and font size is smaller and looks different, and it’s nearly impossible to see the penciled numbers now. I wanted to leave a private feedback, but there was no way to do that in the app. So I hope the developer will see this and revert the changes. Otherwise, I will not be coming back. I used to play this every night with my significant other as a bedtime ritual. I will be looking for another app now.

### 5/5 — Love this version of this game.

*2026-04-24*

Totally love this game. Just wish it gave a little reward for completing the daily puzzle.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying it! We actually just added rewards for the daily challenge in our latest update. You'll unlock new player colors as you rack up completions (starting with your very first one!), and keeping a streak going unlocks new board themes. Check the settings screen to see what's coming next. Happy puzzling!

### 1/5 — Does work with friends

*2025-04-14, version 1.7.3*

I downloaded this game to play with my friends and at first it worked but after a few weeks we couldn’t join games together. We tried deleting the app and redownloading. Bummer this doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — So Fun!

*2024-10-18*

I can start a game and then send a code to my kids to join me. We’re all learning to play!

### 1/5 — No Play with Friends Option

*2023-09-21, version 1.7.3*

There is no Play With Friends Option.  The reason I downloaded the App.

Now I’m deleting it.  Sorry, I don’t have time to babysit the feature that you claim is already there.
