Please keep some consistency. The moving planet mobile was very disorienting ### 3/5 — Needs variety *2025-05-21, version 1.9* I really like the NYT tiles game but I can only do that once a day so I got this one and liked it up until the levels kept repeating in pattern. I’m only on level 25 and have done every available puzzle at least twice ### 3/5 — Suggestions *2025-05-17, version 1.9* I want to pass by certain tile games that I do not want to play. And the one with the planets……there seems to be no logical approach to eliminate the objects. ### 2/5 — Not enough puzzles *2025-05-02, version 1.9* There are only a few puzzles and they are all repeated. You can be on level 30 and already did that puzzle like 5 times. ### 4/5 — Different patterns *2025-04-26, version 1.9* I love this game. But the smaller patterns are hard to see. It would also be better with a little more variety of the pictures. ### 3/5 — 3.5 really Update *2025-04-15, version 1.9* I do like this game, but I could easily like it a lot more. There is no option to play another round of the variation you’re on, instead of always having to go on to whatever comes up next. Unfortunately, what comes up next is much more often one of the variations I don’t much care for, and hardly ever the ones I most enjoy. I like playing my favorites, and seeing if I can improve my number of moves without making an error, or playing again if I make errors, but that isn’t an option. Also, sometimes a game comes up with a background that makes it nearly impossible to see the game elements, and there’s nothing you can do about it. So those occasions aren’t enjoyable at all. If those two elements were to change, the game would be a 5 for me. Update: now just a 3. Has begun running an ad between every variation, a fairly long one. Will play less, as I don’t have time for sitting thru so many ads, and I get bored. ### 2/5 — Few puzzles to solve *2025-02-04, version 1.9* Purchased no ads before playing the game for a while. Unfortunately there are too few puzzles making the only challenge to complete the round faster. Very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Great idea, so-so execution *2024-12-29, version 1.9* Love the idea but the same 7 or 8 themed tiles are on a loop which gets old fast. Also, some of the tiles on a given board are hard to match because of the layering which can completely mask a match. ### 3/5 — Fun but repetitive *2024-12-08, version 1.9* Well done but there’s just not enough variety in the tile sets. Just the same patterns with different colors. ### 4/5 — Needs control over tile sets *2024-11-30, version 1.9* Please, please, please let me hide or skip tile sets I dislike ### 3/5 — Same 4 *2024-10-23, version 1.9* New tiles are desperately needed. ### 2/5 — Good matching game needs improvement *2024-08-05, version 1.9* I enjoy playing but one of the tile games has colors that are too close together to match correctly. Just had my rue exam and improved in my vision over the past year…. That shows my eyes are good and this game is flawed. Please improve promptly. ### 3/5 — Not enough puzzles *2024-08-03, version 1.9* Great to start, until you realize there are limited puzzles that just repeat over and over ### 3/5 — No Tile Variety *2024-07-28, version 1.9* Nice App. Works well. Not enough variety of tile designs to keep my interest or challenge me. ### 3/5 — Repetitive and some of the levels are guessing games *2024-07-15, version 1.9* There seem to be a bare handful of tilesets used to generate the puzzles, varying only in colors, which gets repetitive quickly, although some of the sets are more interesting than others (particularly the ones where you have a variety of shapes that fill different slots in the tile, a background, and a watermark - those are visually interesting enough to play repeatedly, but not all of the puzzles are). Plus, the concentric color puzzles (there's a circle one and a rounded square ish one) are a guessing game when you have the same color on top of another, there's no way to tell, because the same color can repeat in multiple adjacent rings and you can't tell the inner one exists. Also it was a bit disappointing on the planet levels that the same planets don't match if they don't happen to be in the same rotation position. Lastly, this says it uses AI to generate levels? If you're actually using a whole AI that's an absolute waste of processing power, if you're just procedurally generating them it's disingenuous to call it AI, and either way the tools can do more than the game is doing with them. Like, you can procedurally generate the shapes themselves, not just their placement on the tile, for example, or procedurally generate the colors with more variation. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Extremely Repetitive game *2026-07-22, version 1.9* There’s only like 3 or 4 sets to play. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Incredibly boring after 30 levels *2025-08-22, version 1.9* You’ve essentially played the entirety of what the game has to offer after that. The levels are the exact same and you know what to expect. Might as well delete after 1 hour of game time. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-02-09, version 1.9* Used to be great and I’ve played many levels with ads every 5-10 levels, but as of today there is an ad after every single level. I understand the need for ads but this is excessive. ### 1/5 — Boring *2024-09-20, version 1.9* All fun for a couple of days, until you get bored with the same 6-8 puzzle designs. A huge variety would be great. ### 1/5 — Love it but *2024-06-04, version 1.7* Deleting app. Ads disgusting The ads for other games became too violent for my taste ### 1/5 — Love it but *2024-05-31* I’ve been using this app for a while but lately the adds that pop Up ads of apps that Are inappropriate, depicting violence. Not what I want to see or my children to see. Considering deleting the app, ### 1/5 — Tiles *2023-09-18, version 1.1.3* Too big for screen and cat even finish level 3! ### 1/5 — Not playing properly *2023-09-16, version 1.1.3* Got as far as level 3 and you can’t see all the screen . Tried portrait and landscape it seems to be too big ### 2/5 — Just repetitive *2025-12-04, version 1.9* The game is fine for the first several times you use it, but after that, it’s the same puzzles over and over again with minor changes ### 2/5 — Same few games repeated *2025-07-10, version 1.9* I paid for the app, but was disappointed to realize it’s essentially thr same few games repeated over and over again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun But *2026-05-23, version 1.9* I like this game a lot but it desperately needs a nighttime setting and it needs more variety. ### 5/5 — Disappointing *2025-09-17, version 1.9* Same pattern keep cycling round ### 5/5 — Love *2025-06-07, version 1.9* Reminds me of NYT tiles but better ### 5/5 — Fun! *2025-05-10, version 1.9* This is a challenging, fun game! ### 5/5 — Tiles *2024-10-26, version 1.9* Other than word games, I’ve not enjoyed a game on my phone as much as Tiles! I like no silly music, no silly characters and no rescue Themes just me thinking😊 Thank you! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2024-05-19, version 1.5* I love this game a lot, I do it in my free time. It’s pretty relaxing and it passes time easily. ### 5/5 — Love it but *2024-05-17, version 1.5* Love the game but why there all only 4 tiles games meaning we get the same one over and over again ### 5/5 — Great game. Definitely a great mind game. *2024-05-07, version 1.5* It took me a second to figure it out, but a great game indeed. ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing *2024-04-24, version 1.5* I love this game! I was looking for something similar to NYT tiles and this is perfect. The designs are beautiful and I could play for hours. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-03-05, version 1.9* Hate the ads, but the game is so fun! Just like the NYT tiles, except I don’t have to pay! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
