Never in my life would i have imagined that a game this good would appear on the App Store. I would love to meet its creator one day. ### 1/5 — Dosent Work *2020-04-12, version 1.5.0* This app dosent even work anymore. ### 1/5 — Do not download! *2020-04-07, version 1.5.0* I am not usually the type of person to write reviews on an app whether I like it or not. However, this I had to write about. When playing this game it is super laggy to begin with. It also seems to slow my phone down and no other app I have does that. Also I have deleted this app multiple times, like 6-7 maybe even more. For some reason this app just randomly reinstalls for no reason. I’ll delete it one day and a week later it is back on my phone. Overall the quality is bad and it doesn’t seem to want to stay off your phone. ### 1/5 — It was so fun. *2020-04-01, version 1.5.0* My friend and I played this game for hours upon hours. We got to around level 317 and the next morning everything was gone. We were back at zero. And worst of all there were now ads. It was fun while it was in its first version, wish it could go back. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-03-20, version 1.5.0* It doesn’t work, it won’t let you tear it down it just slowly starts going back up. ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-01-24* I would rate this game a 0/5 star if I could but I can’t it’s because when I would peel the tape whatever it is it goes really fast and it makes me restart. I tried it again and again but it just makes me restart. I get really mad when it makes me restart and it’s VERY ANNOYING!!!😡😡😡😡😡🤬 I DONT recommend this game AT ALL! ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2020-01-21, version 1.5.0* When you start it says tear down but when you try it does nothing so you can’t play it ### 1/5 — Bad update *2020-01-12, version 1.5.0* Needs a fix very badly. Game is not currently working as intended. ### 1/5 — Update please. *2019-12-29, version 1.5.0* The game was fun for a while and one day I went to try it again and it looked different and I thought it had an update which it did.... that made the game not work. When you pull the paper, it keeps you on the main screen and the paper is just down underneath the screen and you can’t do anything about it. The game was a fun game so just update and fix it, please. ### 1/5 — Defective? *2019-12-26, version 1.4.0* Played it once and went back to play it and it won’t even let me begin the game. When you open it, it’ll say “TEAR DOWN!”. If you were to wait a second you’d see a white hand appear showing you the motion to begin. I did.. it ripped it but it wouldn’t start the game and not touching the screen it will reattach. So I waited thinking I didn’t do it fast enough and still didn’t work.. ## Frequently asked questions about Tear Down! ### What is Tear Down!?
