### 4/5 — Are you keeping this up to date?

*2024-06-26*

No updates for years…

### 4/5 — Great simply thinking game

*2023-07-15*

Game is fantastic. Needs a few UI tweaks on newer devices/iOS but it still works and is fun. A nice quiet thinking game/logic puzzle.

### 5/5 — Part logic, part guessing

*2018-09-16, version 1.0.3*

I wish it was heavier on pure logic, but the majority of puzzles end up with some guesswork. I used a couple hints just because I was too lazy to work through all the permutations on certain levels. Instead of tapping undo a dozen times for each guess, it might be cool to just tag the board just before the guessing begins and then have a single “undo everything back to the tag” button. All in all, a really fun game that took about 4 hours to finish.

### 5/5 — A fantastic way to escape daily grind.

*2018-01-08, version 1.0.1*

I have enjoyed playing this game every evening before bed. There are no timers, no in-app purchase, and most of all no annoying ads. This is just a very fun sudoku-style logic game with enough variation that once the entire game is completed at every level of advancement, you can start over or just select a random level. I look forward to other projects from this developer. A big "thank you" for putting fun back into tablet games.

### 5/5 — Nicely done simple puzzler

*2017-12-25*

Simple yet addictive, without annoying ads

### 5/5 — Exercise your brain!

*2017-10-04*

Lots of fun.  Totally addictive.

### 5/5 — Great solitary game with a different twist

*2017-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Game made for logics and puzzles. I enjoyed it at my own pace, no timers.  Multiple levels with each level harder to figure out than the last. First levels are easy, but don't get complacent!  Each level has 25 puzzles, and you get 10 hints to use for the entire game. After you finish, you can start it all over again or play your favorite set over. I've had a lot of fun with it. Not like any other game I've tried.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review, I'm glad you enjoyed playing Warship Solitaire :)

### 5/5 — Great relaxing game

*2017-05-23, version 1.0.1*

If you want something that makes you think but won't destroy you emotionally this game is great. A great puzzle trouble shooter, deduction game of understanding a answer. You won't feel foolish if it takes a second, it's part of the process.

### 5/5 — Loved this app!

*2017-05-07, version 1.0.1*

Warship Solitaire kept me busy and challenged for hours and hours of play over an extended period of time. Nice to pick up here and there and complete all the logic type puzzles.

### 4/5 — Good Puzzle

*2017-04-12*

Easy to use with several difficult to solve 
Too bad there is a limit to the number of puzzles

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Hopefully I will be able to introduce more puzzles / endless mode in the near future!
