The game only reaches the initial logo screen, then it crashes and closes immediately every time I try to open it. Please fix this issue. ### 2/5 — The game crashes *2026-01-27, version 1.0.6* I would really love to play this game and it seems cool but as soon as I try and open it the game crashes my device. I see others are having the same problem to ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing on iOS 18 — please update! *2025-10-11, version 1.0.6* I really wanted to play Where’s Samantha? but the app crashes instantly every time I open it on my iPhone (iOS 18.6.2). I’ve tried reinstalling and restarting, but it still doesn’t launch. Could you please release an update or patch for newer iOS versions? It looks like such a charming game and I’d love to actually play it ### 3/5 — Why? *2025-09-07, version 1.0.6* The game keeps on kicking me out the moment I try playing it could you fix it?? I’m also on the phone ### 2/5 — will never buy another game from you *2025-06-03, version 1.0.6* I paid for the game and now I have to pay to remove ads? yeah, not gonna play that game or any of your games in the future. ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-01-30, version 1.0.6* I would recommend getting it on some other system, because the controls are horrible unless you have some type of joystick peripheral to use for your phone. You will constantly be missing buttons when it’s important not to. ### 4/5 — Really good *2024-12-29, version 1.0.6* This is a great game, part puzzle part platform with just the right balance of each. I found the narration a little annoying and the ending is a bit of a non-entity, what happened to all the letters? Maybe there is going to be a part two?Overall though it looks great and the puzzles are good and sometimes challenging. ### 4/5 — The most interesting game in its own style! *2024-07-04, version 1.0.6* It was a really fun game with very good graphics and fantasy, it was just short, that's the only downside of this game. ### 4/5 — PLEASE MAKE A PART 2!!! IT CANT END LIKE THIS *2024-06-18, version 1.0.6* I loved this game but I HATED the ending. George and Samantha need to end up together somehow PLEASE 😩 ### 3/5 — Great game until 41 *2024-05-24, version 1.0.6* I loved this game but it keeps crashing on level 41! I’ll die and it’ll just crash, and it’s happened at pretty much every level. I don’t know what to do at this point ### 2/5 — Fun until it crashes *2024-04-01, version 1.0.6* I was enjoying the game. I paid to have the ads removed and now it will not open the app at all. Constant crash! Please fix or advise! ### 4/5 — Cute puzzle game! *2023-12-09, version 1.0.5* I loved playing this game! It is fun and I really liked the puzzles. I normally get bored of puzzle games for being too easy and repetitive or way too hard. I didn’t have that with that game except for with level 49 the lasers at the beginning. It was way too hard. I had to watch a walkthrough to figure out what to do and even with that it took me 30 minutes to do it. There are a lot of ads which was annoying, but I loved the story. I was very dissatisfied with the ending. I don’t even understand what happened. I would really like an explanation of what happened? Even so, I enjoyed the game a lot. Fun to see the stats at the end too! ### 3/5 — Can’t get rid of ads *2023-06-11, version 1.0.5* I love the game, but I can’t stop the ads. Where is the button to purchase getting rid of ads? Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s broken *2026-08-22, version 1.0.6* Was fun while it lasted.

Even my sister had the same problem with her phone. So if the developers could PLEASE fix this bug or try to find another way to get it to work without me getting immediately kicked out that would be great, and I’d really appreciate it if you guys eventually looked in to it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-26, version 1.0.6* Such a great game! I wish there was more ### 5/5 — Love!! Wish there were more levels *2024-12-16, version 1.0.6* Love this game, exactly what I’m looking for in a platformer type game. Only thing is I wish there were more levels to play! ### 5/5 — Very cute and entertaining *2024-07-22, version 1.0.6* I really enjoyed this game. Challenging at times, but never to the point of being discouraging. The story is cute and it is fun to figure out how to get past the various obstacles. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-05-18, version 1.0.6* Such a great game, deserves 5 star reviews for sure. Cute characters, fun puzzles and great gameplay and graphics, excellent all round. ### 5/5 — :( *2023-07-24, version 1.0.5* The ending is sad good game tho :( ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2023-07-08, version 1.0.5* I love this game so much! The storyline and graphics are amazing and the levels are actually challenging. The game does crash a bit on some levels and you have to start over. The way it ended really hurt my feelings, there’s no way that’s the end. ### 5/5 — love *2022-08-09, version 1.0.4* super cute. i wish there was a way to speed up the text. ### 5/5 — amazing *2022-07-11, version 1.0.3* i love this game ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — A great game that I enjoyed playing from start to finish *2022-04-14, version 1.0.1* I enjoy games that require mastery and that can be finished. Too many games just go on forever. This game certainly has a learning curve and an increasing level of difficulty as one progresses through the levels, which keep things interesting, but it also has a finite number of levels that can all be finished. I also really appreciate that the game provides the first couple of levels for free so one can make sure that one likes it enough to pay for the rest. A great game overall. Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
