Community Insight:
We love having new puzzles daily and trying to keep a streak. We try to open this app instead of social media because we think the word games make our brain do more work than mindlessly scrolling on Twitter. We paid to have the ads removed which was definitely worth it. This also unlocked past puzzles which is great for when we finish the current daily ones. The nanogram and sudoko are our favorite puzzles. We know they just released a new page of nanogram puzzles but we want more!! We already finished all the past nanograms from previous daily puzzles so it would be awesome if another group of nanograms was released :) All in all a great game with a variety of puzzles that we think anyone would enjoy.
We love this app so much! The puzzles are engaging and different. Our favorites are triad and letter Grid. We wish you would have them every day. We havent gotten into the the 2 new puzzles, but all the other puzzles are awesome. Play it everyday.
So far Ive never been bored with this game! There are puzzles that range in difficulty from easy to hard, and theyre fairly easy to learn how to do if you dont understand them :) we upgraded to the no-ad version which if we can remember correctly, was $4 or $5, and it was 100% worth it It was a one-time purchase and made it so we could go way back to 2022 and complete all those puzzles without having to lose coins, all without ads of course! They also recently added a new puzzle mode and Im sure they will eventually add other puzzle modes as well which we think is awesome! TLDR: This game is simple yet amazing and entertaining, and 1000% worth the storage it takes up on your phone download it now if youre willing to spend hours addictively solving puzzles.
Our husband and we play this together everyday. Our absolute favorite is the nonograms! We wish they were every single day! Awesome that you added the special issue of just them. We're excited to do them all.
We have been playing now for 11 days straight and we can say we truly love this game. We only have one complaint and that is about the Sudoku puzzles. We love sudoku but we have found that this games version is just pattern matching. For example if you see 123 in one row, the square to the left or right of it will have 123 in that exact order in the row below or above. This is the only sudoku app we have seen this happen in. It frustrates us because once you figure out the pattern, which is pretty quick, theres no motivation to use your logic and brain skills to finish the puzzle. Fortunately thats the only flaw we see in this game, and considering thats one puzzle out of tons we cant complain! Nonogram is our favorite.
We purchased the premium version but we were disappointed to find that many of the puzzles are repeated over time.
We just started playing this yesterday (got the no ads upgrade) and we already found two bugs: – When going through the previous issues the game doesn't let you go back further than Jan of 2022. Once there, trying to go forward in time again doesn't let you go past March 2022 instead of March 2023 – To fix this issue we tried exiting the game. This worked (but the previous bug is repeatable) but it deletedy streak which is now stuck at 0 no matter how many games we play. – Also the controls for nonograms are terrible. Half of the time when we pinch to zoom, we'll color in a square instead and it's much too easy to replace a previously placed color without noticing it. Would it be possible to get a lock option on completed lines and correct cells.
We love this app!!! Its the only app that we have kept and continue to play on a regular basis!! We always look forward to getting a new set of puzzles and trying to keep up our daily streak for as long as possible! We have tried to find an app that includes different sets of challenges/puzzles for such a long time, but could never find one that hit all the marksthis app does. We never get bored with the puzzles, as they rotate between each other, and we look forward to days that include our favorite puzzles! Personally, the nonogram in this app is our absolute favorite, as it doesnt compare to any of the other ones Ive tried! We always look forward to seeing what cute little design is next! Sometimes the nonogram (and the other puzzles) can be quite challenging, so it makes us feel like Im really using our brain (for once)! Highly, highly recommend.
This app is amazing and we love playing it every day! However we noticed today and yesterday that sometimes we try a word and it doesnt work but later on we try it again and it works. Today specifically taser would not work until it was the last word put in. Can be annoying when we have to try the same word over and over again. However, we are able to complete the puzzle and Im happy with that.
We really enjoy the game but we wish there werent so many issues with it. Perfect fit the last piece wont stick even though its the last piece (which says it was addressed in the last update). Sometimes things are unresponsive such as word wheel the puzzle is finished and it doesnt take you to the completion pop up. Pleaseeee fix the issues with this game otherwise Im gonna have to find another one.
Just a few things we noticed 1. When doing the IQ puzzles and the wrong answer is picked, an explanation would be helpful. Especially for the puzzle that have shaded and non shaded squares. We always get it wrong and Id love to see why the correct answer is part of the pattern. 2. In July of 2022, July 2nd – July 8th the word wheel puzzle was literally the same. Same answers in the same spots. Then we found it again on July 11th. Was it a glitch? 3. Id love to see a new type of puzzle added in the near future. Perhaps logic puzzles and throw in bigger sized sudoku puzzles. Ive seen some that have numbers 1-15 or something like that. Other than that we love it! Keeps our mind sharp and helps when our anxiety is bad. Thank you.
Good game but the new game perfect fit isnt working for us.
We love this app and play the games every day but its getting hard to use the app. It drains our battery quickly (10% in 4 min) and overheats our phone to the point we have to put it down every 5 min to let it cool down. Please help us fix this!! We want to keep playing.
This would be 5 stars from us if not for the frequent reuse of puzzles. Theyre fun, but solving the same puzzle we solved a few days before is a lot less fun. Especially since the App Store page says New puzzles every day.
Automatically opening our browser for ads without our consent? Not. Cool.
Been playing since July and it has become part of our morning routine. We decided to pay to remove the adds and unlock the full game.
Love this game and we have an almost 50 day streak! So no major issues and we love waking up and having a little challenge every morning. The new game, perfect fit, is still buggy. We got our first one today and we wont let us finish because one piece wont go where its supposed to. We even used a hint and it told us where that piece goes and it wont go there. We have all the others in but it wont go. This is frustrating because now we wont finish all the puzzles for today even tho we have this one solved! We know its new so it just needs to be fixed and then the game would be 5/5.
It wont let us press on the word wheel to play.
A bit of a snag at the beginning as we paid to have ads removed removed and they werent. Anyway, developer was contacted and its all fixed now. Games are great but ads will drive you crazy.
Ive been playing this game for about 3 months and it is extremely fun. One thing we dont like is that there arent more categories for the word searches. Ive gotten the same pirates one like 7 times! Another thing is that there arent enough varieties with the puzzles, we hate having letter boxed every day! Maybe adding a crossword or something else for every-other-day would help.
We have always loved puzzles and this app is beyond our expectations. Im so excited to play everyday that we usually get them done when they come out! We love that we can access the whole puzzle history with the upgrade. Its amazing! Worth it.
Its a fun way to get some mental exercise in. We have noticed when going back to previous puzzles, Ive come across several repeats (puzzles that we solved for recent days.) For instance, we have had the word Fireplace as the Nine Words solution three times now. Once was from Jan 2022, once from Dec 2023, and once for the Christmas special pages (2023). If playing a page a day, its fine, but we wonder how often they recycle old puzzles. Not bad for free or a few bucks.
We love this app and most of the puzzles. There are a few things we would like to see. 1. Word history. For word wheel, honeycomb, and nine letter, we would love to have access to see all of the words we found. 2. Word answers. For word wheel, honeycomb, nine letter, and letter box, we want to be able to see all possible words once we have completed the level. This way, we can keep these words in mind for future levels. Plus, it is our goal to find every word in nine letter and seeing all possible words after Ive completed the puzzle will help us towards that goal. 3. Streak Saving. Life is hectic and sometimes we forget a day. If we miss one day, we would appreciate the option to save our streak. We hate using clues and try not to, so we have about 13,000 coins. We dont mind if the streak save puts a dent in that amount. Id be willing to spend 5000-8000 coins on a streak save. Especially if our streak is in the 100s. Im going to keep playing this game regardless, but these suggestions would enhance the game that much more. Thank you for your consideration.
Our favorite puzzle game is back baby! Thank you for fixing the pop up ads and listening to everyones feedback.
We enjoyed this game enough to pay to access the previous months pages. How do the developers justify charging for that when they are literally regurgitating the exact same puzzles from the archive. Dont waste your money on worthless duplicates. Genuinely disappointed.
This game is awesome. We love you get to pick different puzzles and almost half are our favorites. Different puzzles everyday and its easy to earn coins that can be used for hints, just open the app! The developers are truly amazing! Ive not asked one question that wasnt answered and with that kind of support you wont find any better! Download this game we guarantee you wont be disappointed. Nothing to lose and everything to gain. – NEW REVIEW Been playing for a year +/- and still great game with 5***** Developers always answer & will accommodate requests ie new games/themed challenges etc, and Ive already thanked them for the Nonograms they added we love them. Some easy some not so easyperfect! Like another reviewer, we would love to have the IQ puzzles show the correct answer youve sometimes found & some times guessed, its the latter we would like to be able to view after finishing. Im pretty sure after finishing the puzzle displays same as before solving. If thats not the case, we really need help And of course, please more special issues with Nonograms.
Such a great game with soooooo many puzzles. We love that you can go back in the calendar and play previous puzzles. Definitely worth the upgrade for no ads. All puzzles are well done and work flawlessly. More Nonograms please.
This is our favorite puzzle app by far. The puzzles are great and the developers actually take the reviews into consideration . The only issue that Ive been having which started very recently is randomly being redirected to sites in the middle of the game. Ill be playing, not touching the ads and all of a sudden in safari looking at a screen of some sketchy site. It doesnt happen extremely often but enough for us to say something.
Ive been using this app for months and enjoy the simple puzzle when passing the time waiting for our train. We never really minded the ads, we mean its free! However, recently there is an ad that opens to the web browser and is an obvious scam passing itself off as Amazon.com. We hope the devs can do some ad vetting :/ Disappointing to see predatory ads.
Had some nice puzzles to solve, but recently they started using some ad service that automatically opens links in safari to unsafe looking websites. We dont mess with that, so Im uninstalling. This feels like malware, or close to it.
There are plenty of little bugs like sudoku leaving empty spaces colored or issues with viewing the full game after doing the first 4 puzzles. However, the biggest issue is that one of the ads they use constantly opens a browser page with a fake Amazon gift card giveaway. This happens without even touching the banner at the bottom. Whats worse is that it happens frequently enough while Im not even touching the device that Im considering deleting it all together.
Can you please fix the glitch that keeps resetting the login days? It reset back to zero AGAIN which now costs coins AGAIN. Its not counting login days at all. We dont even feel like using this thing anymore honestly. 10/31 – once AGAIN back at zero after the newest update.
We would love for there to be more themed packs but otherwise great.
We really love this game, and it is one absolutely worth buying. A great assortment of games without frills, which is exactly what we want. Some nice seasonal games too. A good hint system if youre stuck. Every once in a while a bug will creep in with an update but the devs are very responsive and get it fixed. Other games that we used to play to pass the time or unwind at night have been deleted. This is the puzzle game Ive been looking for.
Updated Review: The developers fixed a bug that was causing the issue we had earlier! Im so glad, because this really is a 5 star game. There are definitely some puzzles we prefer over others, but theres bound to be something for everyone. Im now instinctively opening this game instead of Twitter when we unlock our phone, and that is a true blessing Original Review: we spent the money a couple weeks ago to remove ads and get access to the whole puzzle history, because we were playing a lot and kept running out of puzzles. But as of yesterday, we can now only access puzzles from this year (not the PAST year, which would still give us 365 to work through, but THIS year). So even though we thought we unlocked almost unlimited puzzles, we now have a grand total of 2 days. Extremely disappointed. The puzzles ARE fun, we just want more of them! Please.
Great app overall, but the bugs are really tough to making games fun. Sudoku especially, makes it nearly impossible to enjoy because of how prevalent the bugs are. The developer seems like they are focused on updating, so hopefully will be taken care of soon.
We like to solve puzzles in our spare time throughout the work day to keep our brain sharp. We liked this app and the idea of having new puzzles each day, but there needs to be a way to flag inappropriate ads. We dont want to see ads about some sexist looking hookup simulator game while Im doing puzzles. We didnt think a puzzle page app would be NSFW, but the ads are which kind of ruins it. We understand free apps are supported by ads and dont mind that at all. When Im getting ads for other puzzle type of apps, that at least makes sense. But a video ad that cant be skipped showing people feeling each other up? No thank you. Please fix this.
Love this game! However, in the recent ocean special issue, we experienced an annoying glitch that caused us to spend a lot of coins to fix. When completing the fish monogram on the last page, we used a couple hints in the beginning of the puzzle that locked in incorrect colors. Not sure if the hints were to blame, or if the color prompts are wrong in the puzzle.
We were super excited to see the update this morning with the bonus puzzle option. The only issue Im running into is the fact that we have our five stars (current streak is 62 days played in a row), but the app keeps charging us coins for games. Not the end of the world, but we would like to play the games for free since we hit the qualifier of playing at least five days in a row.
Ive bullied everyone we know who likes puzzles to swap to this + the $3 to remove ads is 10/10 vs microtransacting us to death. We try to limit our time on devices until after work but really enjoy the morning ritual of maintaining our daily puzzle and duolingo streaks vs doom-scroll. Feature request 1: sync across devices. Sometimes we want to finish the days games on our ipad but it has a different session than our phone and it doesnt sync across the cloud to recognize streaks, completed puzzles, etc. Feature request 2: show which cells have wrong answer in sudoku. Maybe im dumb and havent noticed it, but the only way we figure out ive gotten something wrong in sudoku is when we make it to the near-end and cant solve. Instead of seeing where the errors are, the only option is to restart the game. Its nice the notes persist once restarting the game but we would prefer to just pay some coins to see wrong answers. One question: why so many hard sudoku? It feels like there is mostly hard with maybe a 10% chance of either medium or easy puzzles. Probably difficult to implement but scaling up difficulty over time. Or (re: second feature request) just lemme see what we got wrong without starting over.
We love this app! With premium package ($2.99), you can go back and play prior days. Ive been playing every day for a couple of months and have not had any bugs or issues. We LOVE the nonograms (?) and trying to figure out what the picture is before we solve it. We hope the developer can make more games like this.
We dont like if we miss one day, our whole streak is gone. There should be a second chance or reset button to keep the streak going if it means we have to pay real money. Because we were almost at a 400 day streak and we missed one day and now its at zero, not fair.
Get rid of this ad! There is no way to close it. Game used to be fun, but with this glitch and the much longer ads, its time to find another game.
Awesome variety of puzzles! We love the wide range of difficulty to give you an extra challenge or let you take it easy. But the BEST part, hands down, is that its not too hard to earn coins! Youre actually able to earn enough to play all of the games each day and earn to play the bonus issues too. Keeps us coming back every day instead of getting frustrated because we have to watch ads just to play todays page. Love love love LOVE this app.
We just started this app and love the variety of puzzles. Id love to share it with our family. But we cant tell if its part of the family sharing for apple. Their website shows nothing but another app. Frustrating! No answers anywhere. UPDATE we finally got in tough with their support team. They were able to fix our problem! We are totally addicted to this game. Its one of the rare times we actually paid for an app! Worth it. But we hate nonograms.
We love this game so much! We play it every day. One of our favorite kinds of puzzles is Picture Cross, but with this app it makes it difficult for us to see the numbers for each line. We have vision problems so tiny numbers that are sometimes squished together to fit all the other numbers makes it so we have a really hard time playing the puzzle. Ive ended up not playing those puzzles when they come up because of the difficulties Ive had seeing the numbers. If this could be fixed, that would be awesome.
We are begging for a game fully devoted to nonogram. There is no other nonogram game like this one and we are obsessed. We have almost finished all of the nonogram archives and we are devastated that soon we will not be able to play nonogram more than a few times a week.
We love puzzles, and this app is wonderful for the variety and function of almost all of the puzzles. We only have two tiny (seriously small) little gripes: 1: there are arrows to move the Nonogram puzzles left or right and up or down, and while the up and down arrows are far to the side (out of the way), the left to right arrows are over the bottom line of the puzzle, which means they are ALWAYS in the way. We dont necessarily understand the need for the arrows, but if they are going to be there, could we get the L to R arrows repositioned to BELOW the color selection area? 2: the word searches are sometimes comically bad, with all of the answers being right beside each other and running in the same direction. Sometimes they are not like that but its often enough to warrant commenting. Other than those two (admittedly tiny) gripes, we thoroughly enjoy this app.
Show less letter box and more nonograms please. We dont enjoy the algorithm which allows letter box to be provided 6 days a week whereas nonogram is only available for 4.
There a wordle ad that freezes the whole app. Every time it comes on we have to kill the app. Mashing on the x in the corner does nothing to close it. Please fix it.
