User reviews

Worst app designer

They keep updating the puzzle formats for unfathomable reasons - making them objectively harder to interact with. Just awful

Paywall

Poorly designed.

I can play the free games through safari but not through your own app? Insane.

Please fix the UI!

Great puzzles but the lazy app design results in problems where most recently, every time I reopened the cryptic jumbo the whole puzzle reset and I lost all progress . Happened 15 times before I gave up and printed it instead.

Now every time I open I get the portrait narrowed appearance (holding it in landscape) with no clues on the size and have to reorientate to landscape to refresh. This is EVERY time I reopen the puzzle.

The support is next to useless. They take days to answer the first query, just to ask for your name and email address before they can investigate. Then truly unhelpful - I.e., uninstall and reinstall. Well that didnโ€™t work, so how about you fix the app instead!

Broken again and again

On Thursday Picle went wrong - refused to accept the map location I entered. On Friday it worked. Tuesday and itโ€™s broken again.

Looks like a new version because each game opens with a โ€œhow to playโ€ pop-up. And all past scores are lost. And every time the app opens it asks about notifications. Very irritating.
