### 4/5 — Long time player

*2024-05-30, version 4.0.5*

I’ve played that game for a very long time, more than 10 years. The game used to have a feature tu turn off the timers. Would be nice to have it again !

### 4/5 — Lovely game!

*2023-06-19, version 4.0.5*

Such fun to play! Try out the different versions, the classic is the best but the puzzle version actually quite a bit easier and also great fun. Very unfortunately with the introduction of the larger iPhone screens the game has a bug which still exists as of June 2023 where it occasionally at the end of a level decides the game is over for no reason. A bit annoying. Otherwise 5 stars for a great game!

### 4/5 — Points

*2021-09-10, version 4.0.3*

First let me say that I love this game. I have had it since the first version on my first iPhone. Was a little disappointed that I had to lose my winning streak when I had to pay for my last update. (It was a very high score). But worth it. However, on this version I am not getting the penalty for unused pipes, which is no big deal,😁but at the same time I am not getting the time credit for an early completion ☹️. I don’t think I missed any updates. Can you help?  And thanks for this game. 🥰

### 3/5 — Bug?

*2021-09-03, version 4.0.2*

I love the game. There is a problem with the score calculation where after the first level only the amount of outgoing flow counts… I am not sure if intentional but I think it is a bug and should be fixed!

### 4/5 — Great game but....,

*2020-12-17, version 4.0.2*

I have played this game for several years and I love the “puzzle” play. One challenge is finishing the puzzle quickly so you can earn a time bonus. With the latest “upgrade”, the time bonus does not work. It’s still fun, but there is no use trying to quickly solve the puzzle.

### 3/5 — Great game

*2020-08-02, version 4.0.1*

I love the game but hate the new uodate.  The game now continues when you close the app or turn your phone off.  It never did before.  And the colors are way too bright.  It was perfect before.

### 2/5 — Unhappy with update

*2020-07-15, version 4.0*

I’ve had Toobz on my iPhone for 10+ years now, even played it less than 12 hours ago. I just opened it to find a completely new interface. I think it looks terrible. To me it just doesn’t look as polished as before, and it seems overly bright and sharp (even in dark mode) which irritates my eyes. While it’s nice to see the developer is still interested in the game, this update doesn’t feel like an improvement.

### 3/5 — Make it bigger

*2019-12-12, version 3.0*

I like to play on my iPad mini. I also play on my full size iPad where it fills in the page.

### 4/5 — Love the Game

*2016-11-16, version 3.0*

Well I love the puzzle level. I did find an interesting little bug. 

The max score for a level appears to be

2900+450 = 3350

I have managed to get a score of 12700. 

Here is how to make it happen. 

Make your puzzle line up as well as you can. Click on "Start Water". 

Click on the home button. 
Click on Toobz again. 
"Play"

The score just doubled.

Repeat and the score triples

Repeat again and the score quadruples.

### 2/5 — UPDATED NEEDED

*2016-07-31, version 3.0*

Please update the app to work on newer iOS and devices! And please add a mode without time limit

### 3/5 — Good - but with problems

*2015-12-04, version 3.0*

1 - I have an iPhone 6 and the game sometimes interferes with setting the phone's volume.

2 - If you're playing the game and you receive a phone call, you can't stop the game.

3 - If you leave the game after completing a level, the game doubles the score of your last game.

4 - Explanation of the game, in detail, is lacking, especially how scoring is done.

5 - The pipe "end" looks similar enough to the "T" so that when you're in the heat of battle, it is easy to confuse them.

### 3/5 — Bug - cheating with score

*2015-07-02, version 3.0*

When you finish connecting the pipes/tubes and while the water is flowing, close the app. Open the app again and let the water finish flowing. Your score is somehow doubled. Closing and opening the app multiple times will give you a very high score for one level. I was able to get a score of 30,000+ on level 2 alone.

### 3/5 — 😕

*2015-01-15, version 2.1*

Gets a bit boring after a whioe

### 2/5 — I used to love this game

*2015-01-02, version 3.0*

I used to love this game, but the new version is simply ugly. I played the mode in which you can't switch pieces, but now it's gone. They have removed so many features in this game it has gone boring.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-11-08, version 4.0.3*

I played the free version for years and enjoyed it. Played daily. Free version didn’t have an upgrade so I purchased the game. It never goes past level 11. After successfully competing the level the me at screen. Show I failed it bout even starting the game. This has happened numerous times since I upgraded. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — BUG !!!

*2021-08-08, version 4.0.2*

le jeu bugge et finit toujours par se bloquer : on est obligé de repartir à zéro !!!!

### 1/5 — Hate the new update

*2016-09-21, version 3.0*

This has been my favorite game since I got an IPhone 5 years ago. The new version is awful. It's basically not worth playing because it's so complicated and annoying. They took a fun game and made it complicated. The scoring is weird and the new graphics are too much. I would like the old game back if possible.

### 1/5 — Don't update

*2016-02-13, version 3.0*

Very dissappointed, I loved this app but since the update it is just rubbish. I've deleted it. PLEASE revert back to the original version

### 1/5 — Bring the old version back

*2015-01-15, version 3.0*

Please bring the old version back.
With this update u can't select how u want to play it and can't tut the pieces like old version.
I am almost ready to get rid of it from my phone.

### 1/5 — New version is terrible

*2014-12-22, version 3.0*

I have played this game for 4 years. The new version is so bad I deleted it. The graphics look like they were done by a lazy high school sophomore. I would give zero stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Give us back our old options!

*2014-12-02, version 3.0*

I'm glad you created a new interface and some new features but people love the old game! You need to allow the classic toobz people to play the game they love while giving the option to try the new features. I played on a friends iphone yesterday and was not a fan, especially that I didn't even have the option to play the way I liked. I'll never update to this version as long as it's like this. Please bring back the other features!!

### 1/5 — Верните старую версию

*2014-11-29, version 3.0*

Ужасное разочарование. Сделайте предыдущую версию!!!

### 1/5 — Verschlimmbesserung hoch 3

*2014-11-14, version 3.0*

Was habt ihr mit meinem Lieblingsspiel für zwischendurch gemacht???
Bitte stellt die alte Version wieder zur Verfügung!!!
Kann man das Update rückgängig machen???

### 1/5 — Give Back The Free Play Mode

*2014-11-02, version 3.0*

Pfffffffffffffft. Once in the old version, they had Free Play, and now, they demolished it. How could they?!?!? I demand the Free Play Mode back.

### 5/5 — Long time player

*2025-11-27, version 4.2*

Thanks again for adding the no timer feature !!

### 5/5 — Sooooooo goood

*2024-04-05, version 4.0.5*

This is quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played. The fact that the water and the physics works so elegantly blows my mind. The puzzles are unbelievably complex and I cannot even pass a lot of them because the developer is a genius.

### 5/5 — Update for the new iOS

*2021-04-28, version 4.0.2*

Hey update this game for the new iOS I want to keep playing it it’s been my favorite game since iPhone 3

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2020-07-21, version 4.0.1*

Been playing this for years, love the update.

### 5/5 — LOVE it, please update.

*2019-09-21, version 3.0*

I have loved playing this game for years !! It’s been on every iPhone I have ever owned. Since iPhone3G to my current iPhone XS Max. 
I love this game so much. Please, please consider updating it !!! It’s time for an update.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2018-04-15, version 3.0*

I used to have a version of this game on my old Commodore 64 computer about 30 years ago, and when I got my first iPhone I found a free version of this in the AppStore. I’ve had it on all my iPhones for years, and finally decided to buy the full version.

### 5/5 — The Most Addictive Game Ever

*2017-03-09, version 3.0*

For as simple as this thing is, it is my favorite way to pass time. Unfortunately, at 70 years old, that's the last thing I need to be doing... but it's so addictive! It may actually have some health benefits, though. It makes you force the brain to go into overdrive.

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-04-08, version 3.0*

A very addictive and fun game.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-09-20, version 3.0*

I really liked the update, especially the puzzle mode option, which may or may not have been in the last version.

### 5/5 — Toobz Theme Song

*2014-09-20, version 3.0*

Please bring the Toobz music back ;( ;( ;( 
Arguably my favorite part of the game.
