### 3/5 — Music prevents 5 stars

*2025-11-20*

I love this game and have for years. 

However, I use it to pass time on plane flights and am now stopping. The reason is that I want to listen to my music and not that supplied. There is no way I can find to turning off the supplied repeating canned music. 

If a path to solving that issue is created or made evident, I will change the review to 5 stars.

### 4/5 — IOS17

*2023-10-11*

Перестала работать игра после обновления

### 5/5 — Still works, still stable, still fun!!!

*2023-09-17, version 1.57*

Can’t believe this game I was playing on my first iPhone more than 10 years ago, is still there. Clever puzzle game totally with you time.

### 5/5 — Still works after 15 years

*2023-09-05, version 1.57*

Recently, i was nostalgic of a great discontinued puzzle game on my very first iphone. Well, it's NOT. TRISM is still around and still a fantastic puzzle game that I just - to my surprise - rediscovered. Kudos to the programmers for this gem and thanks for keeping it alive.

### 4/5 — Had this game FOREVER

*2023-05-28, version 1.57*

I have enjoyed it… then forgotten about it… then enjoyed it again! So easy to play and still so absorbing.

Maybe integrate the player’s own music into the soundtrack?

### 5/5 — The OG

*2022-04-26, version 1.57*

Great game. It was created before apps even existed and deserves a lot more respect. Really wish the devs would keep working on it.

### 4/5 — Very addicting and very fun game

*2022-02-23*

Back in 2009 when Apple featured this game during the iOS 3.0 keynote, I immediately downloaded it and played it incessantly for the better part of that year. Well as the years went on, I found other games and played them, almost forgetting about this one. Well fast forward to 2022 and I randomly wondered if this game was still on the App Store and behold, it was. I downloaded it and rediscovered how much fun it is. It is definitely a throwback to the early days of iOS. The interface elements look more like iOS 1.0-6.x than what was started in 7.0. However, it is still good. If I had to make any complaints, it would be the game doesn’t scale very well to the screens on newer iPhones. It was great on my iPhone 3G back in 2009 but on my iPhone 12 Pro in 2022, it is not exactly optimized. However, it is still playable and very fun.

### 5/5 — Офигенная игра

*2021-05-27*

Любимая игра, еще со времен iphone 3g. Очень хотелось бы обновление под современные устройства.

### 5/5 — My first iPhone game

*2021-04-16, version 1.57*

This is the first game that I got when I got my first iPhone in 2007. I have played it continuously since, and it continues to be my very favorite game.

### 5/5 — I’ve had this game since 2008

*2021-02-25*

It’s followed me thru many iPods and iPhones and, idk, I’m still surprised it plays just as well as it ever did. I’ve never tried Trism II and probably never will but this one is just a classic to me. I’m not much for games on my iPhone, it’s really just this one. I like how it doesn’t time you unless you want that, and that it can go on forever and forced you to really analyze the board before making a move when you’re into infinity level so your game can continue.

### 5/5 — Loved from the beginning

*2020-12-12*

This was the very first game I downloaded years ago when it came out. I hope it will always be there because it takes skill to keep the points going!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2020-10-07*

I love this game. No ads, no currency, just the game. I play almost everyday without having to turn off my wifi.

There are a few minor problems that can all be spotted by playing the game for 10 minutes (only like 3 problems) and those problems are easy fixes. Sometimes the triangles animations are moved out of place while moving rows. The numbers on bomb triangles will move way off. I forget the other thing, but now I have a suggestion to improve the game. The tilting feature is nice, but I think it should be automatic, but not make 3 or more triangles touch each other which would detonate a bomb if there is a bomb in play. If this is not something that will be done, I suggest that you instead give players an option to swipe the tilt icon to the direction that you would like the triangles to fall, not just keep track of the devices tilting. I want to be able to play this game without actually moving, like when playing in bed or while watching tv. I shouldn't have to constantly flip my device around just to keep bombs from detonating. Also, having the blinking colors that show the color of a triangles that you can't see is pointless and would be better if it simply stays that color.

Keep up the great work

### 5/5 — Trism Update

*2020-03-08, version 1.57*

Thanks for the Trism update, you fixed it! Thanks again.

### 5/5 — I don’t like games but…

*2020-01-10, version 1.56*

This game is awesome! Very well written code.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-11-16*

I don’t know why this is so relaxing. It also reminds me a little of life. Sometimes you get screwed and feel stuck but persist and you’ll find a way out. Things change. You defuse bombs. 
I think it may need to update for the new iOS but even so, it’s my favorite game to play to unwind or after stressful situations.

### 5/5 — Happy Trism Player

*2019-11-12*

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the latest bug fixes, especially the one that prevented the Trism strips from being visible, which really affected play. I have been playing this game for years and was very sad when the game didn’t play correctly. So now I am a happy camper and would recommend this game, especially to people who like to compete against themselves to obtain their highest score. 😁

### 1/5 — Необходимо обновление

*2024-07-14*

Игра отличная, только вылетает при загрузке: проект заброшен. При этом игра доступна в магазине, её можно купить, но вот работать она не будет. Обидно.

### 1/5 — I am a mollusk

*2023-04-16, version 1.57*

Three threw thirty thorns 

Okay?

### 1/5 — Addictive, but cheats!!

*2020-09-02, version 1.57*

Fun gameplay, but WOW, is this game rigged!  It’s worth a shot, just know you’ll get frustrated as hell!  This game has not aged well at all!  Game itself is very... meh. 🙄
P. S. 
The sequel is much worse!  Lots of bugs, incomplete, only one level to play, but it’s still $2.99!  🤬🤬🤬. These Trism games are cash grabs and Steve Demeter is a con man banker who made Trism 2 as a joke, a way to submit a demo as a game and collect the money!  Stay away from these Trism games or you’ll end up angry, frustrated, and cheated!  Steve Demeter should be reported! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Update:
Game is even more rigged now, and it freezes a LOT!  This jerk developer hasn’t updated this app in ages!  I repeat - stay away from the Trism games, they’re horrible!!

### 1/5 — Sofortiger Absturz unter iOS8

*2020-03-03, version 1.57*

Leider kann man die jahrelang funktionierende App nicht mehr benutzen unter iOS8 seit dem Update vom Winter 2019. auch nach dem Update vom März 2020 stürzt sie sofort beim Starten ab.

Bitte Bug beheben bei iOS8 mit iPhone 4s!

Schade, dass eine App unbrauchbar gemacht wurde, wenn ältere Geräte das Update erhalten und die App nicht mehr startet!

### 1/5 — Need an update

*2019-10-28, version 1.55*

Great game but with the most recent system update it does not function properly. Need an updated version to run better with most recent operating system.

### 1/5 — I used to love this game

*2019-10-10, version 1.55*

Ever Since the last big upgrade you cant even tell where you are moving your pieces. I don’t even want to play anymore. As soon as you move them the row goes blank. I check every now and then to see if it’s been fixed and no such luck! HELP!!!

### 1/5 — OS 13 screwed up the graphics in Trism.

*2019-10-09, version 1.55*

OS 13 screwed up the graphics in Trism. I know it’s an old game but I love it. Can you fix it? I’ll up to 5 stars when you do

### 1/5 — Upgrade needed

*2019-10-02, version 1.55*

Doesn’t work with OS 13

### 1/5 — Seit ios13 kaum mehr spielbar!

*2019-09-23, version 1.55*

So schade, der Support ist nicht erreichbar und das Spiel ist kaum mehr zu spielen, in dem Moment wo man einen Stein bewegen will, wird die ganze Reihe unsichtbar, und noch so manches mehr... 😔 bitte schnell reparieren!!!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2018-01-13, version 1.55*

30 seconds into the game, I realized I’d been duped. Bless it.
