Community Insight:
Can you play offline if you buy the game.
We like this game, but it is "frozen"…won't start. We deleted and re-installed, but still wouldn't work. We play it every day. Problem started today.
Often it will not let you play. Can't start it.
This is a fun game but it crashes all the time. It needs some tweaking, when there is no more matches why let us continue to play the game for a while before it says no more matches.
Every time we go to play abc solitary we get kicked off. We has been happening for weeks now. Please fix it! When its. Fixed we love it.
It is not fixed. Please fix this bug asI love playing this game.
You didnt fix the bug it still crashes in the middle of every game.
Keeps our mind stimulated and entertained.
We love this game play it all the time.
This app will not open. Crashes on iPad. Not even worth a star.
This game is addictive! If you are not careful, you'll spend hours playing.
This puzzle is quite difficult to actually complete, as you can easily run out of moves. However, after trying at least 10-15 times with 10-60 minutes per puzzle, we eventually got it in 30 minutes. If you like a fun challenging puzzle, we recommend this. Possible improvements: different difficulties and varying hint allowances. Only two hints gets frustrating sometimes, though we managed to get our first win with no hints.
Love this game. Challenging and fun.
We like this game and tend to play it while watching tv. However, it frequently encounters a start up problem that renders the game unplayable.
This game works your brain and eyes. Love it.
We updated this app last night and the blocks won't slide across the board. Please resolve this issue.
Played this game all the time but the latest update (we downloaded 4/9/16) has broken the game, tiles no longer move.
This game is addicting. Our 5 year old even loves to play it. We could do without the ads.
This game is addicting. WOW!! We love it. Been playing for three years and still can't get enough.
The best ever…for us anyway. We play first thing when we get up to sharpen our brain and last thing at night to help us relax… Love it.
Thought provoking, interesting game.
Like this game…appreciate it lets you know when you have all the matches…makes it sweet, it's never the same…and always a treat when you can "clear" it! Thanks.
Very addicting game/puzzle. We're not clear on the icons and what they represent but the puzzle is F-U-N.
A true, addictive solitaire game. We love it.
Nice challenge! Nice game length ( not too long or short). Works flawlessly.
We love this game but suddenly we can't play. Message says to connect to Internet. Please help.
This game allows one to really focus. Very relaxing.
More mind twisting than bubblesanimal farm, puzzle, etc. Very good.
This is the first app we downloaded. The best game we play. The games are really good. Keeps us thinking. We recommend it to everyone. Keeps our mind fresh and aleart.
We actually started playing this game because we tend to miss the details in things. This game has taught us to look around and try to find a solution outside of the obvious. We LOVE the fact that the game never gives "hints" unless intentionally asked.
When we get into the game. It say connect to Internet. We are connected to the Internet. So we can't play it any more. It works fine on our husbands iPad. But it has quit working on our iPad. We love this game. Fix it please.
The game freezes when we open it and doesn't show a menu.
Great game. One of our favorites!,.
We started the demo. Our time kept going. Demo crap on top our game. Can't see game to play but time still going. No restart button.
Very addicting and challenging.
Love game but ads are annoying.
This is frozen, cannot get it to work.
This game is captivating and fun. Great game.
Enjoy trying to beat our time but get frustrated by the ads.
Love this game! But it freezes often and takes quite a while until you can play again. We hope they can work on this. Great game though.
Love the game. The ads at the bottom of the screen are a little distracting, but the 30 second ads at the end are very annoying.
We love this game and the challenge it provides. It also has a lot of problems. Our sound effects don't work right and it takes a long time to get it to work after you "resume" a game. We wish it would tell you how many matches are left. We've already ended a game just to see if we had any moves left. We would like to know if we should keep looking or not.
We play this with some of our students at school to help them with matching and visual perception. We have a lot of fun.
Very challenging and addicting.
This is an okay game, but the directions are not too clear. You have to learn to play by trial and error. There aren't enough hints provided for us. We sometimes become frustrated and just give up the game. The ads that cover part of the game are annoying. If those keep coming we will uninstall this game,.
Good challenge but can frustrate you to be missing the obvious. Would like to back track after ending to see if could have completed.
Apparently the game does not wish you play it in Landscape mode anymore since the update. We paused the game twice in a row and when we tried to resume it, it had characters at the top covering up our letters. When we rotated our iPad to remove them so we could play the game in Landscape mode, it ended the game both times. This is not the first time this has happened. We are not going to play the game anymore or recommend it to anyone else.
This game is addicting, can't stop playing. We only wish it would end on its own when no pairs remain. Can't even imagine how many hours we sit and try to find pairs then end the game and get so frustrated that there were none left.
We really like this challenging game. Got our daughter addicted to it. Really makes you think.
The game is fun. We enjoy it. We do wish the clock would stop until game is resumed. Also, if there's no more moves it should tell us rather than using a hint.
