Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game and have been playing for years. Recently, the add pop ups have not been letting us exit them even after the time is up. We have to close out the app to have it go away. The only annoying thing about this app.
Just downloaded the app, played one match (loved it) but once we started trying to search for another match, the app just closes by itself, it wont let us play again.
We just downloaded it and got to play against one person before the app crashes entirely when trying to challenge an opponent. Great concept but the bugs are pushing us to delete the app.
Ads are ruining the experience. Too bad.
So fun to do live challenges and compete with fun and quick brain game. Hope this app stays around.
This app is a free way to stimulate your mind and keep you sharp. Highly recommend.
This app has awful stability, often crashes every minute or even at the middle of each challenge! We like to continue playing but now we think about removing it.
The app is crashing when am waiting for an opponent to be found , iphone 14 pro , ios ver.16.4.
The keyboard displays over the game we cant even play it.
Abnormal amount off ads until u accept a request or send one u must come out then in the app for it to show plus u always play with bots ugh and network probs.
We emailed translimit over a week ago about our email not transferring from a phone that we havent used in over 3 years. Ive gotten no answer. AlI we want is an answer and you help. We will be deleting you game until you can fix this issue. Please feel free to EMAIL ME BACK.
This is one of the few games we can play with our quadriplegic friend. Because there were so many ads, we immediately purchased the option to remove them. Now were both wishing we hadnt wasted our money. The game crashes 99% of the time we are playing a challenge against another user. Ive probably tried to play 50 challenges today and was only able to complete 4 of them without the app crashing. Our internet is great, so we know that isnt the issue here. The app seriously needs to be updated to fix this issue! Really bummed that we spent money on this game.
The games are fun but we spent more time watching ads than playing. Its almost impossible to challenge a friend because it doesnt send the challenge notification. This app used to work much better a few years ago.
The developers have ruined the game with the ads. Used to be one of the best games on the store.
The way they keep putting an ad banner in front of the main tabs that toggle between home, friends, settings, etc. Is so obnoxious that Im just blown away. The amount of greed behind this app design is laughable. And yet somehow another 5-star app. What a joke.
Brilliant game ideas, but the unskippable ads are too annoying. Also whenever you leave the app even for a millisecond the game will restart for an annoyingly long time. The devs need to do their stuff better.
Dumbest app with so many ads. Its like game between ads.
An advertisement pops up EVERY two seconds and get this, you CANNOT skip the ad or even cross it. You have to sit through the entire ad and if you so much as touch any part of the screen while the ad is playing, it will directly take you to AppStore.
New update puts loooong ads constantly in the app. Now its more like one long ad app than a game app.
Time to review your app! Gimme those points! You're better than Lumosity.
It's the only game we play at the moment and we're very satisfied… It's really enjoyable, entertaining and helps us to exercise our brain.
We LOVE BEING ABLE TO PLAY AGAINST MY FRIENDS AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS GAME AND TRAIN MY BRAIN AT THE SAME TIME.
Our husband and we tried playing side by side, and although the games are really fun, we were clearly not playing one another (scores were different and games were not synchronized across the two phones). When we sent emojis to one another, we each received responses, but not from the other partner. We have no idea who we were playing – just the app, we suppose.
Good game, it crashes sometimes but still playing the game everyday. Since gamers are from every corner in the world, it would be good if you make a country flag clickable (simple redirection to Wikipedia) so we can get idea of the country. Keep up the good work.
We love this game and we think its very good for increasing academic, reflex, observation skills, etc… But its pretty boring to have bots as a competitor. We noticed the same pattern going on like when you press an emote, the person youre up against gives out two emotes and once you start spamming they spam with you and stop when you do. When you dont do anything at all, they dont do anything either. We wish they were real people to be honest. We know this game is old and developers have probably stopped working on it but it could use some updates. This game is a good tool to keep your brain functioning. Another thing is that there are too many ads. Its kind of annoying like yes we know you wat money but THAT bad? Lol anyways 4/5 stars its pretty good but it could be better.
The app of pretty good but we keep getting this ad for sudoku with no x button. It doesnt matter where we click on the screen, it just takes us to the App Store. Only way to get back to playing is to close out of the app and reopen it.
Hi! We love this game! But there are some bugs and crashes happen most of the time! Why you left the game and don't fix bugs and improve game.
The game is overall pretty neat but you should be able to play without being connected to wifi aka on data or at least be able to train without any wifi needed. Also too much ads.
The use of ads that reroute to the App Store make it a frustrating experience guaranteed every match. The UI is nice and the games themselves arent bad.
This game is great. We play it more often. But its not working properly. We have been uninstalling and reinstalling to play it. Please update it.
We used to love playing this game but the ads ruin it. With an ad between almost every round. Also we choose not to download the Facebook app and we cant share our win to earn free life anymore. It just tells us to download the Facebook app.
Ive been playing this game for 4 years and since that days it was always great!! But nowadays with these excessive ads Im always forced to watch them after almost every game and the worst thing is many times we have to watch a whole ad video!!! This is a complete waste of time please fix that.
We cant figure out how to close the ads and have to close the app completely. Doing this every minute makes this app unusable.
We LOVE the game but its frustrating that you have NO option to exit an ad. We can go to the Ap store or shut the game and restart. We will try a bit longer but will probably delete. We will redo this to 5 star if you can fix that.
The first day we downloaded this app, it seemed fine. Then after, all it does is just crash. :/.
The game keeps saying to check our network connection even though our connection is good with all other apps.
When we downloaded this app, the first thing we saw was an ad. Wow. Also, it actually never let us play the game because it said Connection Error even though all our other online games work. This game is horrible our brother played it and he was rank #123,827 and he was going up against frikin rank #348 player and we just lost it. Like what the heck? This game is unfair and crap. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT.
Years ago this was a 5 star game. We thought we would rediscover this game and get back in to practice. What we found was the butchered version of a once great game. How is it possible to screw up this game this bad.
Ads functionality is so contrived that when a friend sends a request to play the ad appears. When the ad video is over the friend cancels the request so we can not submit it. Why is it so hard to show ads after every game session? This would be more clever. Constant disconnections in multiplayer mode. Deleting this app. Impossible to use.
Zrt prt oyun kp duruyor, adam gibi reklam izlenmiyor.
Great game, but the ads make it crash every 5 minutes.
The stupid ads on this game are unbearable. The game UI is not vibrant at all and loading the game takes time. If we want to play 10 sets we dont and cant watch 10 advertisements. Id liked to quit and reopen the app but that takes a lot of time too. So we decided to give it up and do exercises on Duolingo and Anki instead. This is just a garbage advertisement pack.
The amount of ad we received just from playing this game really turns us away.
Ads have taken over this app. Ridiculous. Wanting to play against family members though playing against a friend doesnt work either – doesnt appear to come.
This is such an amazing game we used to play it 2 years ago than we changed our phone and totally forgot about the games ,so couple of days ago we were searching for games that sharpen up the brain so we got it and was happy that got our old game back and when we started playing it was glad that there are new types of games it it but got verrrrry disappointment that the game is full of ads like really ? Each time u finish ur challenge there is a long and silly ad which just wont go away , we are really sad for deleting this game just because of the awful ads.
Clearly the developer have no idea of what random number is. The same game occur many times.
We have enough xp points to level up but it won't let us??? We don't know why, because we have enough in every singe category but it won't let us become a turtle. We even exited the app and it still didn't refresh. And not to mention all the stupid ads. Also even when we win a game it still makes us lose a heart for some stupid reason. So in general it just has a lot of glitches and ads.
Amazing game highly recommend been messing around with this app for 2 years now.
We enjoy this game stopped playing when we got to S rank then after months we came right back and still love it.
Lots of fun! This app challenges different parts of your brain. You can see what areas you are strong in already and what areas you need to strengthen. Playing against people from all over the world and at all different levels is a blast! Love this game! Its a fabulously fun addiction.
