This is the Best Puzzle Game Ever.
Its the BEST GAME!!! Its sooo relaxing and addictive we find ourselves playing it for hours.
Ooh Koolee Sana Ooh Tooh Tayibeen.
The best game ever would recommend.
Hexes is the best out of all the flow apps for sure. We finished all the levels after a while but we need more. Pls make more this is the best flow app we have them all and this is the best pls more.
We have been playing this game for years now. We love the simplicity of the gameplay and we like that it will sometimes make us have to stop and think about the next move. We like the daily and weekly puzzles, we have over a year streak at this point. Our suggestion would be to add a widget or something to make it easier to identify if youve done your dailies or weekly puzzles for the day 10/10 game, definitely recommend.
There are a lot of games in this style, but flow free is the best we've played. There are over 7,000 levels, all free, with no energy system or "lives" that limit your play. We've had it for years and we still have hundreds of levels to go.
For the longest time one of the differences between hexes and original and bridges was that the navigational format was different. Hints were in the middle and there was no way to navigate between levels outside of the pack pages. Frankly we haded it. But we loved the puzzles so we didnt delete the app. BUT, they fixed it and we couldnt be happier if we could give 10 stars we would. And if they did the same to the shapes app Ill give that one a try too.
The game itself is great, we love it and its really nostalgic for us. But there are way too many ads. If you take a long time to solve puzzles, you might get an ad after every single one, and sometimes the ads dont provide an option to close them out so you have to restart the game to get rid of them. We understand putting in the option to watch an ad for a hint, but having them right in the game is really annoying.
When you make a purchase in this game, the ads are completely removed. They dont remove ads from only the packs but you still see ads on the daily puzzles, like a lot of games do. Once you make a purchase, ALL ADS are removed, even from daily puzzles. And its not pay just for ads to be removed, you also get a pack or something else along with ads being removed. Once we learned this, we skip straight to buying all packs right away when we get a new flow game. This alone is enough for the 5 star review. But its also a fun and genuinely challenging game. Some games are challenging by cheating the player but not this game! Just pure puzzle fun. We like to try to solve them by completing the flows in alphabetical order, but often the challenge is so great that we end up solving the puzzles by filling in each flow as we can. We often have to restart in order to get the perfect level completion. The Flow games are pretty much our ideal game. Fun, genuinely challenging, daily puzzles, and NO ADS once you pay a very reasonable price for all puzzle packs (or even just one puzzle pack; we think every and any purchase removes ads, we just find purchasing all puzzle packs at once to be most economical.) Also, you can get additional hints by watching an ad. We have used that feature, but we prefer not using hints. We like the challenge. The only thing more we could possibly wish for is for them to add more puzzle packs over time. But maybe even that is a good thing because when we only have daily/weekly puzzles to play, we spend less time on our phone and get more done. Thank you for such a wonderful game, true challenges, and a true NO ADS option. Best games on the App Store we can find! Thank you.
Well we had this game for a month now, and we love this game and the three others! We like how you can play for free and theres no subscription. We just wish they got rid of the adds. But other than that 5/5, 10/10, 99/100, 989/1000.
On all versions of your game(Standard, Hex, Warps, Bridges) can you please do something about the Credit Karma ad!? Popup loads, browser opens, then the App Store loads that is the only ad that runs that doesnt simply play a video and call it a day. Overall, we love the games, running daily streak is around 900 for all four versions. Its just the CK spam ad thats beyond frustrating.
Helps with focus and helps with stress.
We finished the free version, so we bought the rest of the app. We just finished that. This was our favourite version of Flow Free, and we dont really know what to do now other than complete the original app. Its good.
And we wish the background color could be changed.
Flow Free hexes is the perfect game to take our mind off of everything. We love to play it in the mornings because its so relaxing. Also, the animations are so smooth. They make everything so fun. Even though this is a five star there is one thing Id want to fix. We kind of wish it was free because then we dont have to pay for it. Can you fix that? Other than that, this is literally the most enjoyable game anyone couldve ever played. Also when Im home alone and our mom isnt there we need our iPad to make sure that we can call her. This is the perfect game to be able to play while our sister is watching TV or doing something else that we dont really wanna do. The game is perfect for alone time. It takes our mind off of everything Im stressing about. Currently, Im in a play and this is the perfect game to get our stress off ourselves. It keeps wanting to come back for more. This is why this game should be played all over the world but also can you fix the game free to anyone? Other than that thank you for the people who are made Flow Free hexes and just Flow Free youre amazing.
This is one of our favorite games! We play it every morning and now am over 2000 days of consecutive play. The puzzles range from very simple to extremely challenging. There are no annoying ads that interrupt play, and if you need hints, you gave a choice. Watch a short video or purchase some. After a while, you can become an expert at this game. We believe we have need maybe 1 or 2 hints in the past 1000 days. Other developers can learn something from BDG. Fewer ads (or no ads) make for better game play. Keep up the great work.
We like this game, but not as much as other Flow Free games, and we have a sunk cost of hundreds of hours playing this game, so we have no plans to pony up $5 to remove ads now. Ads are fine, but lately they freeze on us multiple times each day and we have to restart our phone. This is the only Flow Free we have not played every day for 3 years and if the ad freeze keeps happening we wont make even one year.
We play this game daily! Please add more packs :).
This is our favorite game of all time. It is perfect in every way. And you can have NO ads with ANY purchase, so we spent 3 bucks on every color pack and now we can play uninterrupted. We love this game so much and recommend it to everybody.
We like flow free its our favorite game to play when we download the game.
Come on guy like this game and review so we can get some more levels.
Ive been doing the daily puzzles every morning for almost 7 years. This puzzle game and coffee is a great way to start your morning. Please please please add another couple of pathway packs.
We finished all the free puzzles for this game. Its honestly our favourite version of Flow Free. The daily and weekly challenges are a great way to continue playing even after finishing, and there isnt too much of a punishment for missing a day in your streak. The ads are annoying, but easily something you can get through if you have music playing. The free hints you get are also very worth the little bit of time it takes to watch a chunk ads. You can never have too many hints.
Before flow free we were depressed, had no job, no girlfriend, and nothing to do with our time. Now that we have it, things are mostly the same, but now we have a fun pipe game to play in the meantime.
We love it we always enjoyed But the advertising always comes Please we want play without advertising Thank you.
We love flow free. We bought the no ad version on the main game, but we guess we'll have to buy it again on hexes? Kinda disappointing, we'd rather just play the hexes sampler over and over again.
Ive been playing this game for YEARS. Like since maybe middle school. Im 22 now. Ive aced every level with perfect moves and we play the daily and weekly puzzles as much as we can. Please be more active with uploading more levels!!! Its our favorite way to relax and unwind after using our noggin all day at work.
The problem is they are so many stupid idiots ads are annoying us and thank you.
Fun, fun, fun! Can be a bit if a challenge if you make a wrong move.
We really like all the flow free games and have all 4 versions and have paid to get all the packs and remove ads but we really wish the developers would bring back the old design of the game. For whatever reason the original flow free is the only one that still has original design where the bottom has the go back to previous level then reset board button and go to next level with the hint button on the right. However now this and the other 2 games have it where there is no go back to previous level or go to next level buttons and the hint button is now in the middle where the refresh used to be and the refresh is on the far right. Will continue to play but hope they change it back to the original design because we have ended up using hints when we didnt need them because we were trying to refresh the board.
We would give the app 5 stars but the hints are located right where the level reset usually is and its driving us crazy. Please move it somewhere else no idea why youd put it there.
This game is absolutely phenomenal, doesnt take much storage, and very unique puzzles (with a ton of choices). However despite buying the no ads thing, we still get an occasional ad from time to time, mostly when we shut off our phone with the game open. Please fix this.
An enjoyable game, easy to play. However, pop up scam ads on safari supposedly from Amazon started within a minute of opening the game, with no option to resume the game or close safari. This happened each time we opened the game. Ive deleted this app, and any other apps we get that allow this very annoying scam. Realize you need ad dollars to keep the game free and for a profit, but ads of this ilk will and should drive your users away.
We loved the original flow free and downloaded this to continue playing. The issue we have with this is the placement of the arrows and the hints. The original flow free was so good with placement but the placement on this game is very frustrating. The hints are in the center whereas in OG flow free theyre on the right where the refresh button is. Theres also no forward or back button for levels which is annoying. Ive used up hints because Ive gone to move our phone from the bottom or our hand slipped and multiple hints were used. Please change the layout of the bottom to that of the OG flow free. If it isnt broken dont fix it.
Ive been playing for 767 days on the original; of course the other ones are bouta be bangers.
Ive had this game on multiple different devices since about 2014 – it remains our favorite go to puzzle app.
This is a great game. Not many ads and very enjoyable.
Very relaxing and fun to play. It makes our brain feel alive again.
Such a cool game. The more you play the better you get. Very fun.
We like it so much we cant stop doing it.
Not exactly challenging, but the puzzles for the first week of 2023 all look like beautiful tropical flowers. Thanks for helping us get in Zen mode for the last four years.
Bought this over 5 yrs ago. Play daily. We are 76 years old and cant wait to get into these games every morning. Have played them all hundreds of times but its so enjoyable who cares. Thanks for many years of fun.
This is probably one of the greatest games ever created.
We have solved every level of all included packs and purchased packs. We have reset our progress at least 5 times. And have 2,000 consecutive days of solving the daily puzzle. We think it's safe to say we're addicted, or at the very least, OCD about this game. It isn't a battery hog, so you can play it while in waiting rooms or office meetings. Okay, maybe not office meetings. But we enjoy the challenge of the puzzles and if you like puzzles, you'll like these too. The only thing we would add to the game is the times it takes to solve each puzzle and that the times do not get reset when you reset the game. That way you can keep track of your best times.
Ive played this game for what seems like forever. Its one of the games we have to play before we can go to sleep at night. Its always challenging. Thank you.
Do the creators of this game even try to make the levels difficult or are they meant to be extremely easy.
Paid for ads free years ago and it stopped. Not paying again. Ill deal with the ads again.
We still enjoy all Flow family games and play them daily. Wish they had different names, especially in app lists. They all show Flow Free, which is confusing. We would like to see unique names, for example, Hexes.
We have played this game for several years as a wind down. But the Project Makeover ads are out of control. Im not going to play that game and not going to pay to get rid of ads. That means we find another game to wind down.
