I eventually used up the things where they show you where is what and it said ad if I wanted to do it again but there are no ads. Normally people want no ads but what I mean is it’s not letting me do an ad for what I want. Still an amazing app. ### 3/5 — Zulu *2026-01-13, version 1.0.3* Zulu is fun to play, but the grid rows are difficult to follow and the ad option for another life doesn’t function! It would be fun to have a tally of the number of times more rows are added! ### 2/5 — Zulu-needs an upgrade *2024-04-09, version 1.0.3* Slows down the further you get in the game. Also locks up to where you can’t finish the game. Then you have to restart. Frustrating. ### 3/5 — “Best Man in the World?!!!” *2023-08-27, version 1.0.3* I absolutely love this game! But when I win and it says, “You are my hero, the best man in the world,” as a woman I feel disrespected and offended. Please consider changing that statement. Simply, “You are my hero” would be just fine; or even change “man” to “person.” ### 2/5 — Battery draining and SLOW *2023-06-13, version 1.0.3* This app takes FOREVER to clear your moves and it QUICKLY drains the battery on your phone. ### 3/5 — Zulu *2023-05-05, version 1.0.3* I like game but the commercials are like every 3-4 minutes the more you play the more commercial breaks ### 4/5 — Not just for Men *2023-03-19* This is a fun and addictively simple game with a graceful interface. However if you actually win, it tells you that you’re it’s hero and “The Best Man in the World.” I’m not a man, so a one star penalty for scripting that’s better fit for the 1950’s than 2023. ### 3/5 — Simple game with a minor glitch *2023-02-24, version 1.0.3* Enjoy the game but it is quite slow when selecting a pair. Almost a ten second delay before the pairs disappear. ### 4/5 — Absolutely love this game but… *2023-01-16, version 1.0.3* … when one wins, a very lovely shower of confetti falls and the words “You are my hero” and “The best man in the room” appear across the bottom. As a woman, I find myself offended by the assumption that I am a man. Removing the line about the best man in the room would go a long way toward including all users of this app. Thank you for your consideration. ### 3/5 — Zulu *2022-12-25, version 1.0.3* I did love this game at the beginning now every time you get one done commercials are going way to many commercials… WHATS UP WITH THAT …. I can see them every once in a while but this is just crazy ### 3/5 — Slows down *2022-06-30, version 1.0.3* It’s pretty fun just wish it had levels , and also the more you play it , it starts to slow down a lot . ### 4/5 — Constantly crashes *2021-06-27* Gave this game four stars just because it is a good game. It is very fun and addicting. Sad thing is that it crashes every time I click the plus button. It is getting so annoying that I am going to have to uninstall it. ### 4/5 — Shuffle button needed *2021-03-23, version 1.0.3* Fun game- I bought it as a replacement for Numberzilla which was too expensive. I think a shuffle button would make the experience better when you get to certain point in the game ### 4/5 — Fun but room for tech improvements *2021-03-08* This puzzle game has had me amused for hours on end. I paid for ad removal. I like the dark mode as well. My biggest frustrations are that If i get long in my puzzle, it slows down too much to keep solving it and I am forced to restart. I want to keep trying. In “random” mode, my puzzle doesn’t save that I’ve been working on. It will reset which is frustrating too after hours of work. In short, fun game, but would love more working memory from it so I can save my status/keep working. ### 2/5 — Fun but... *2021-02-20, version 1.0.3* It sometimes isn’t random. I’ll add more rows and it’s an exact duplicate of the previous rows no matter how many times I click. Please fix - this is a good game and I paid to take the ads away, and now I’m disappointed that it’s not really playable. ### 3/5 — Cool game, but... *2020-10-10, version 1.0.3* The ads are long and unrelenting. ### 3/5 — Great game but resets if you leave game *2020-10-08* I want to give this game 5 stars. It’s really fun and I love the design. My only issue is that if you stop playing for a few minutes and go to any other app (even without closing) it resets your game! Super frustrating because this game takes time to actually beat. I was invested in a game and came back to it to find it erased and reset and has happened multiple times. I really hope this gets fixed! If so I would give 5 stars! ### 4/5 — Addictive *2020-09-20* I really enjoy playing Zulu but have a couple of problems with it. Why is there only one sequence of numbers in the Classic form and why does the Random game restart each time the phone closes? Fixing these issues would really improve the game as I am beginning to get a bit bored with the same Classic pattern of figures and frustrated at losing my Random game. ### 2/5 — Shuts down all the time *2020-09-03, version 1.0.3* I actually really like this game, but on both of my phones, it shuts down after just a couple of lines. The app just can’t handle any more than that apparently. Big glitch. I’m not interested enough to keep starting over. ### 4/5 — Great game, could use some more work tho *2020-09-03* Got this game when Covid started to pass time. Oh the hours spent playing this game! I do think that there should be some more options for the game like: - Once you complete the classic game mode, classic generates a new puzzle for you to solve. - Random mode saves your currently solved puzzle until you reset/complete it. - A competitive mode where you solve puzzles and get a score and compare it to others online. Once more, great game but could use some more features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2023-05-28, version 1.0.3* So many ads that it is annoying. ### 1/5 — A message to the developers *2022-05-22, version 1.0.3* Can you PLEASE fix the bug where every time you press the button to add more lines, the game crashes. FIX this and I will change my review to 5 stars instead of 1. Also, it vastly increases your reviews, and thus, profits, if you actually write responses to your reviewers. ### 1/5 — Classic keeps crashing now! *2021-11-17, version 1.0.3* I love the game but all of a sudden whenever I choose classic to start it just crashes! I’ll gladly change this review once an update fixes the issue! ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2021-01-31, version 1.0.3* Crashes all the time ### 1/5 — Ads *2020-09-28, version 1.0.3* Stop with an ad every time you need a new row. This could be a good game. Deleted it instantly ### 1/5 — Freezes *2020-09-26, version 1.0.3* I bought the game thinking that it would stop freezing but nope it still freezes. ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2020-09-26, version 1.0.3* It randomly closes on me. Messes with my matching mojo! ### 1/5 — Deleted *2020-09-07, version 1.0.3* Enough said. ### 1/5 — Not Great *2020-08-10, version 1.0.3* It keeps crashing ### 1/5 — It’s free is the only star *2020-08-09, version 1.0.3* Glitchy glitchy glitchy. The lag in play is mind blowing. It shuts down every other move. It would be so great if those items were fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this! *2020-12-27* I liked Numberzilla but $10 a week is insane! This game has the same playability and cost $2 to remove ads permanently. Win!! It utilizes symbols instead of numbers and is more graphically pleasing. I wish I would have found this game first!!! So obsessed. ### 5/5 — So addictive *2020-09-01* I can’t stop playing this ### 5/5 — Update *2020-08-28, version 1.0.3* My crash issue resolved; turns out I was probably playing it wrong! It’s actually pretty challenging, and quite engrossing; good work! ### 5/5 — Like Numberzilla but soooo much better *2020-02-17, version 1.0.1* No freaking subscription and a LOT fewer ads. PLUS this doesn’t make other apps on my iPad crash like Numberzilla does. So bye bye Numberzilla, hello Zulu. ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!! *2020-02-10* I used to have a game similar to this but this one is waaay better. It’s fun and challenging (I’ve played 5 games and haven’t won yet) but it offers plenty of hints for when you get stuck. ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-02-08, version 1.0.1* Fun game! **** can you add a counter so you can see how many ballls are remaining? Thanks!! ### 5/5 — This is a great strategy game!! *2020-01-28* If one approaches this like Candy Crush it may seem pointless but the more one plays the clearer it becomes that this game is about recognizing patterns and forming strategies for clearing the board. The board starts the same every time you reset or replay so you can try different sequences for removing dots (by matching symbols horizontally or vertically as long as there is not a different symbol in between. You can also remove two like symbols by tapping the last one in a row that matches the first one in the next row. You are notified when there are no matches left to be made so you can tap the button and get additional rows. There are always a few that can’t b cleared so have patience and keep going. Sometimes a symbol will match one that is out of view so keep scrolling back, playing the whole field. Playing is learning! I love this game! ### 5/5 — Just like Numberzilla, but more realistic re: price *2020-01-28* I like Numberzilla, but would you believe that the people who made that app think it’s worth $9.99 a WEEK? Who are they kidding? So I knew this would happen. Someone else would come along and make the same game, but do a better job and make it competitively cheaper in price. So here we are. Well done. You win. 👍 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-01-21* I love the game, my only wish is that it would have a stats chart. How many times you played and how many games you have won. I would really like to know my stats in the game. ### 5/5 — LOVE this game! *2020-01-01, version 1.0* It is the game that made me delete my other games.
