I deleted as soon as I was forced an ad that had balloons masquerading as anatomy. No need for that in my life! ### 3/5 — Good puzzles unbearable ads *2026-05-28, version 16.0.0* Seriously the ads are too many and too long I’m ending up shutting the app down to avoid them ### 4/5 — Problem with the letter “I” *2026-05-08, version 15.8.1* I play this game daily and I love it. But there’s this problem that’s been bugging me for some time. When playing Word Wheel, if there’s the letter “I” on the wheel it looks like a square. It’s not that big of a problem but it can affect the playability a little. My phone’s language is set to Turkish and in Turkish the uppercase for “i” is “İ”, that’s probably why this happens. Is it possible to fix this without having to change my system language? Making the letter show as how it’s supposed be would be enough. This problem only happens in Word Wheel. ### 3/5 — Nonogram Feature? *2026-04-20, version 15.8.1* This has been a great game and I’ve been addicted to it the last few weeks. One of my favorites are the nonograms. But I haven’t been able to figure out what the lock buttons do. I’ve tried clicking each on their own and both together but nothing ever seems to change. I can still mark squares, unmark squares, use the undo button. What are these meant to lock? ### 2/5 — Great game, but enough… *2026-04-12, version 15.8.1* Really have enjoyed this for a while, but lately they have been using political statements in their puzzles. People use this app to get away from that type of noise. What a ridiculous idea to ruin what was a great app. ### 3/5 — Sudoku *2026-04-06, version 15.8.1* The font on sudoku is terrible. It is eyestrain waiting to happen. Nonogram is my favorite but the user interface for it has some quirks. Overall a decent app. ### 2/5 — Premium Feature? *2026-03-18, version 15.6.0* I’ve had this app for several years now, there was always an option to complete the previous days’ puzzles if you missed it. Now that’s considered a premium feature out of the blue!! ### 2/5 — Malware Ads *2026-02-15, version 15.5.0* This game has been wonderful. Recently, I keep getting a “malware on my computer” webpage opening on my browser while an ad is playing. It has happened too many times and becoming more incessant. I really enjoy the games but had to remove the app. ### 4/5 — one suggestion *2026-01-24, version 15.3.2* absolutely love the game! only thing I wish we had was being able to see the difficulty before choosing the puzzle on the bonus puzzle ### 3/5 — Some ads force me to restart the app *2026-01-22, version 15.3.2* Some ads end up freezing and forcing me to restart the app. The puzzles are also on the easy side but good for quick mental break. ### 2/5 — Great Games, but… *2026-01-21, version 15.3.2* The sync feature is horrible. It doesn’t sync progress from multiple devices. Very frustrating to have over 200 days of completed puzzles not transfer over to my new device. Makes the streak count feel pointless and like I’m starting all over again. But the puzzles are really nice and I enjoy the variety. Would be 5 stars if they could figure out the syncing issue. I tried their support, but they were unable to troubleshoot. ### 3/5 — Additional words? *2025-12-22, version 15.3.1* In the last week or so I’ve noticed in word search puzzles (and sometimes in the letter grid) that there are other words, which aren’t clues/answers. E.g. in today’s puzzle, ‘priorities’ is clearly there but not an answer. This has been consistent. It leads me to wonder if there’s been a change in how the puzzles are generated. Also, they seem easier ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2025-12-16, version 15.2.1* Thank you for always staying true to the real true meaning of Christmas. To show my gratitude, I'm purchasing $19.99 in coins even though I have over 78k. It is a donation. ❤️‍🔥✨✝️ ### 4/5 — Two things if I may *2025-11-26, version 15.1.1* First, aside from a scrabblelike game, this is the longest I’ve kept a game on my phone. The game variety is great, keeps me engaged and best works underground when I’m my commute into the office. So much so I paid for all the back issues, something I never do. My two things: The November 20th Word Wheel did not have all the words connected which threw me off. This has never happened before. There were two words to the right that weren’t connected at all to the words on the left. A glitch perhaps? Second: cryptograms have been my jam for years so I was stoked when you added them to the mix. My only small gripe is that once you know the letter, you shouldn’t have to type it in every instance. It should appear in all places with that number. Just sayin’. Keep bringing the games, the challenges, the freshness bc it’s gladly welcomed. Until then, good day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate the ads *2026-06-28, version 16.1.0* This game would have been great were it not for the annoying ads after each puzzle. I would rather have made a one-time purchase of the game instead of being forced to watch ads to proceed to the next puzzle. Completely ruined the experience and fun for me. ### 1/5 — Fake Ads spoil this app *2026-06-19, version 16.0.3* Shame - a good app ruined by fake scam ads. ### 1/5 — Used to be a favorite… *2026-05-02, version 15.8.1* This used to be one of my favorite apps! Unfortunately I broke my phone and had to buy a new one. When that happened all of my progress in this game was lost. I tried to sign in but got an error message each time. I’ve emailed support but no response. ### 1/5 — 16+ Age Ads On Game *2026-03-11, version 15.5.4* Love the game but as an app that is rated for 4+ to have an ad pop up about a story app that literally has “I want to **** you” in an ad is atrocious and irresponsible. ### 1/5 — ads covering the puzzles *2026-02-27, version 15.5.2* the bottom banner of ads covers the bottom portion of puzzles making it impossible to complete and is extremely frustrating ### 1/5 — Premium to play the day before *2025-12-11, version 15.2.1* You guys realize taking away features isnt making anyone go “awe man, i guess ill pay for premium” its just making me skirt your system more so lol ### 1/5 — Pay Wall *2025-09-17, version 14.7.0* I have been a long time user of this game, however today i noticed all previous days are locked for premium only? it used to be available for coins which you could get through winning the games! i am very disappointed in the owners of this game ### 1/5 — Poor German translation and repetitive puzzles *2025-08-14, version 14.6.2* Some of the German translations are unacceptably bad. Especially when it comes to the word wheel, you sometimes have no choice but to try every possible combination to cheat your way to the solution, as the answers are non-German words or uncommon abbreviations. It's also annoying that some of the answers are inappropriate. In addition, many of the puzzles repeat themselves after a certain amount of time. ### 1/5 — Joined the greed wagon *2025-05-22, version 14.4.1* Used to be great. You used to be able to access the past 3 days worth of puzzles and decompress from the relentless rabid moneymaking frenzy that is our daily experience. Now however you have full length adverts between everything and you can’t play even yesterday’s offerings without paying. It’s turned into the same old, same old. Well there are other apps out there. Uninstall for me. ### 1/5 — Bummer *2025-05-14, version 14.4.0* Huge bummer. This is my favorite game and I paid for the premium version. But now you have to pay even more money, after upgrading, to play the special edition games. Makes no sense and doesn’t feel right. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-08-15, version 17.0.0* Very addictive ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-11, version 15.8.1* I had this one for years and its so good that I have gotten my friends to play it too! 20/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Suspicious link *2026-04-02, version 15.8.0* Hello I love this app but my cyber protection keeps warning of a suspicious link on the page . Please can you investigate otherwise I will have to delete the app ### 5/5 — Pop up ads *2026-03-26, version 15.6.0* I enjoyed playing until ad pop-ups would interrupt my games. Literally while I was filling in the puzzles. I understand the need for ads, but when they intrude 5-6 times while I’m playing? Give me a break. Immediate delete. ### 5/5 — Yeesss. Get this app☀️♥️ *2026-03-21, version 15.6.0* Such a fun app. Every day there are new brain teasers and they switch it up day to day. They also have super fun extra puzzles and themed packs that are a blast. For ADHD people it’s so much fun to listen to an audiobook or YouTube video while you play!Definitely worth it to get the premium account. And they are so nice. Thanks guys!♥️☀️♥️ ### 5/5 — Great timewaster *2026-02-28, version 15.5.3* A great compilation of games, some quite challenging but not impossible, the only one I don’t understand and probably never will is Triads as it makes no sense at all. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-02-23, version 15.5.0* I’ve had this app for a couple of years now and it has been very fun to use ### 5/5 — Five ⭐️s !!! *2026-02-13, version 15.5.0* Completed over 550 day streak of every puzzle. Wish there were puzzle like this! ### 5/5 — Hints *2026-02-12, version 15.5.0* My only critique would be that I would like the hints to show us a breakdown on how they get their answers. Especially in Suduko where I feel like that would make us so much better at the game ### 5/5 — Duplicates *2026-01-03, version 15.3.1* Please stop re-using the nonogram puzzles. Lately there have been many duplicates. Otherwise best ever! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
