### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-01-31, version 1.4.0*

Circles are very small on my screen so difficult to move accurately and the links are small to view easily. Far too many really crud ads.

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-01-08, version 1.3.0*

Want to love this game, but there are way too many ads and I can’t seem to find a one-time purchase to get rid of them, or any purchase to get rid of them, so probably will move on to a different game.

### 5/5 — Unlock the rings rotate circle

*2024-08-25, version 1.3.0*

I like this game. Simple concept, but keeps me interested. Ads are ok. Option to not have ads, but I don’t mind because they are not so intrusive as other games and I really appreciate that.

### 2/5 — Cra - p

*2024-08-08*

Boring , Nothing to shoot for , Mind numbing , if it wasn’t free it would be overpriced at one cent ! 
I feel like I should go on to warn people more !

**Developer response:** Hi Lion Hearted One, thanks for your review and sorry to hear that! Maybe one of our other games will suit you better.

### 3/5 — Rings Get Tiny

*2024-05-05, version 1.0.7*

This is quite a good game - addictive in fact - but as you play the rings get smaller and smaller and gave me eyestrain. I had to stop playing.

### 1/5 — Not good for seniors who have arthritis

*2024-04-23, version 1.0.7*

Some of the puzzles are so small that people with arthritis has trouble turning the pieces

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-03-04, version 1.0.6*

Kept freezing up after fourth game. Removed and reloaded app twice with no improvement. Even rebooted phone.

### 4/5 — Quite addictive

*2024-02-23*

Like all of these so called free games it’s spoiled by ads but not as bad as some in that regard

**Developer response:** Hi notbouncing, thank you for playing and your review!

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-02-19, version 1.0.6*

I’ve only had this games a couple of days, but it is fun.  A little glitchy when it goes to the next level but if you go out of the game and come back In it loads quickly.  
Great way pass a little time.

### 3/5 — Keeps freezing

*2024-02-12, version 1.0.6*
