I used to play the daily challenge of 15 puzzles. About two months ago the app would not open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I tried rebooting my iPad. Nothing worked. I have been trying every day hoping that the problem would be corrected. I tried going to app support and that was a dead end. Is anyone paying attention to this app. Is it well and truly dead? Is there anything I can do to get it back? ### 3/5 — Confused *2025-01-17* Been playing for a few years , all of a sudden game won’t load. Tried deleting and reinstalling and turning phone off , on. Not working. ### 4/5 — Review *2021-01-04* Really makes you think before you make a move....good for using your brain power. ### 1/5 — Too many 30 Second ads *2020-01-01, version 1.6.2* Fun simple game but too many ads between. ### 3/5 — Nice but too small on the screen *2019-12-23, version 1.6.2* The concept is nice however the game itself is way too small on the screen. Once you put your finger over the board you can no longer see the objects. ### 2/5 — Christmas sweeper *2019-12-16, version 1.6.2* Screen is too small, very hard to touch items ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2019-11-28, version 1.6.2* I like the game but not all the ads between levels. ### 2/5 — Images *2019-11-26, version 1.6.2* I have large fingers and am having difficulty playing as the images are so small ### 1/5 — Xmas Swipe *2019-11-24, version 1.6.2* Tooooo many adds. ### 4/5 — Fun but.... *2019-11-23, version 1.6.2* It’s a fun game but you cannot win enough prizes!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2025-03-01, version 1.6.5* Hasn’t worked for two months. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-01-25, version 1.6.5* I have played this game for years. It stopped working 2 weeks ago. I emailed tech support and wrote here to no avail. ### 1/5 — What’s the point. *2025-01-21, version 1.6.5* Ever since the update on Jan 12 2025 It won’t open on my iPad or download on a different iPad.. ### 1/5 — Game no longer will open *2025-01-21, version 1.6.5* I have played this game for over 5 years and now I cannot open it. ### 1/5 — No Longer Opens *2025-01-18, version 1.6.5* I’ve enjoyed the game but since the last update it no longer opens. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2025-01-16, version 1.6.5* This is a cure game. However, the last few days, I am unable to open it. I have tried on a couple of devices. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-13, version 1.6.5* Since the bug fixes one day ago my game will not open. ### 1/5 — Adverts Grrrrr *2021-03-16, version 1.6.4* Short review. Great game, but when adverts between games are longer than each game ————time to play something else.😩😩🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2020-07-09* While I enjoy the game I am deleting it because, first I am a man and I don’t like the amounts of ads that try to sell me sheets and bras. When the ads were about 30 seconds long I would tolerate them. Now some/many are 60 seconds or longer. I will finish this game today and then delete. **Developer response:** The ads between levels can be skipped after 5 seconds. Usually a button in the top left or right corner will pop up. Or in some cases you can swipe the ad away. The ads you see depend on your actions and privacy settings on Google and Facebook. ### 1/5 — Cheating *2020-06-05, version 1.6.3* Why on a level do you not give us a required item to win the game, can remove a tree tat doesn't exist ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App will not open *2025-05-27* Please help game will not open on my I pad.
