Good puzzles but an infuriating U/I

I really like the puzzles, but aspects of the user interface really get on my nerves. When I have completed a puzzle I would to still be able to see and consider the final solution for a bit. However the moment a puzzle is completed the display switches to a page with a trite comment about how well you did, with a fictional percentage of what proportion of players you were fast than. (I am certain that the percentage is fictional because on occasion it is wholly implausible.)
Please get rid of the trite slogans and let us look at solved puzzle.

Highly enjoyable and challenging

Highly enjoyable and challenging, ads are manageable

The stats are not true

The stats they present you with at the end of the game are not true they are random numbers. I’m a paying customer when I realised this was the case I was deeply disappointed.

Ads

If y’all make a paid version of this without the ads, I’ll buy it right now.

Love the game! Small bug

Almanac has been a lot of fun. There’s just a small bug that happens every once in a while where when you load into a new level you can’t touch anything on the screen and have to close the app. No other complaints!

Game is good enough

Ads are not too bad, not interrupting
Despite what other reviews say, it’s not that bad, I redownloaded it

But sometimes the game freezes.

Also I really like some of the games more than others. I wish I could just play those for a bit without having to go through “levels” to play a certain one

Love it but it has a major bug

I spent money to not get ads because the game is really fun, however there’s a bug that’s made me stop playing. Every few games I play (to my knowledge it’s completely random) the buttons become unusable and I have to completely reopen the app. It’s inconvenient, and has caused to me to stop playing the game except for on rare occasions. If this gets fixed, please let me know.

Fun

Fun

Levels repeat

I really liked this app, and did the daily challenges. Only for the “kings” game and “mambo” game. Im not sure if i beat all the expert levels or what. But these past 2 weeks I’ve been getting the exact same “kings” puzzle. It wont let me add pictures to this review, but i have screenshots. Im just sad cause I was really starting to like this app.

Slop dogwater

Easy puzzles that cost 10$ to remove with ads, just buy an actual puzzle set rather than this garbage

Fantastic puzzles

So many different and fun puzzles, would definitely recommend to someone who wants to use their brain

Unbelievably addictive and good brain activity

Really good the further you get some of the puzzle are actually difficult

Challenging & Fun

Very enjoyable.(Don’t understand the name, though!).
Needs a bit of lateral thinking, which makes success all the more satisfying.
Pleased to recommend this app to anyone looking for something a little different from most others.

Ads won't close

The puzzles are enjoyable but the ads are unskipable. I have to restart the app to get back to the game every time an ad comes up, because there is no way to exit out of the ad.

Fun game but can improve

This is a great app. I wish for two things

1) A way to get stats after each game completed and a profile review of average speed per game type

2) A mode to play specific games multiple times outside of the daily challenges. Like if I want to do mosaic one day or tower or anything else I can pick and choose and level up specifically for those modes

Nice

Just started no add yet and a good game I like it.

Infinite

I love this game so much to where I now want to get infinite. Only downside is that I can’t, I try to purchase it, yet it won’t let me. After pressing continue and selecting “individual”, I press continue once again, and then “start free trial”, but nothing happens. It shows a loading symbol for a split second, then goes away. No purchase, no free trial, nothing. Along side this, I feel that when I solve a puzzle, it lies about the percentage of people I’m faster than. Sometimes when I make an extremely fast solve, it tells me I’m only faster than 89% of people. On average I usually can get about ~92% faster than most people, many times I’ve also gotten 99+% faster than others. I just wish it would tell the truth, or at least I could know whether or not it’s lying. I play this game everyday and grind levels, and sometimes when I get fast solves, I want to know how much faster I am compared to everyone else, but it doesn’t show me. I wish there was something where you could press a button to see it, or also have it show alongside the other messages. Another way to fix this problem, you can have a menu in which you can select which messages you get after each solve.
I love this game so much, but it has small things to work on, not with the levels, but with the layout.

Epic!

Tricky,but fun

$10 gone

Well I figured I'd try Zen, paid, and saw there is no access to anything but present day... okay I guess I'll upgrade to the full thing. Guess what? What I already spent is just gone, no credit toward upgrade. I just did it yesterday! $10 yesterday! So now $35 altogether to get the access I want/need to enjoy this game??
