Fraudulent Competition
Tue May 13 2025 DWL0I’ve been playing this game for one month. I now have a 200 game lead over everyone. I noticed that the competition always stays together in lockstep. In fact they stay together with no one trying to catch up to me, or even trying to pass up each other. Very weird indeed! I think the chase group is controlled by the game developers? I think it’s a phony competition? The game itself is fun and well thought out. But I think the competition is phony.
Game developers:
why doesn’t anyone in the chase group change positions or surge ahead to catch me?
Fix this and I’ll edit and resubmit my review and give you 5 stars.
……UPDATE…….
I now have moved into the highest group (Diamond). I won every single weekly tournament. So I guess that makes me the grand champion. Yet no acknowledgement from the game developers. I have tried to contact the game developers to no avail. Great game…very poorly administered!
Bad update
Mon Jun 09 2025 Gmaof13This game must’ve had a recent update that changed the way it plays out. You need to fix it! I was playing along with no errors until the very end. The last two numbers left were 33 and 10. There was one equation left that was 43 - __ = __. Now in my mind it could have gone either way…because 43-10=33, or 43-33=10. I chose the latter, which was mathematically correct, and I got an error, because whoever made up the equation chose the former. I’ve run into this scenario before, and have never gotten an error, so this needs to be fixed. The same thing happened on the very next game I played with a different set of numbers. FIX THIS!
UPDATE: Today, either I’m always making the right choice when it comes down to that, or your programmers have fixed the problem. If the latter is the case I thank you. If it is the former, I guess I should thank God! Unfortunately, I used to be able to put in a mathematically correct equation, even though I later found it was not the correct equation for that particular spot in the puzzle, and not be charged with an error, as long as it was corrected before the puzzle was completed. I can no longer do that. I don’t mind that so much, although being charged with an error is not fun.
UPDATE 2: I was finally able to fully check this out by switching the numbers around, and the original problem I cited is fixed as far as addition goes. Now, if you could fix the original problem regarding subtraction, the game would be perfect.
New update has flaws!! Please consider a change.
Fri Jun 13 2025 GoldennekoYou know - half the fun of this game is realizing, you have an equation in the wrong spot. It forces you to rethink the math throughout the puzzle. (You have correct equations, but the numbers you used belong elsewhere.)
But they changed that! Now, you have a correct equation (the numbers make the correct totals) but they are red! Red means error. Wait! What? 1+71=72. And 71+1=72 Why are 1 & 71 RED? Oh, they belong elsewhere. Because this is being used by people to sharpen the math skills, saying 1+71=72 is wrong, what are they to think??
PLEASE - Consider using yellow for numbers in the wrong spot, instead of red. In my examples above, 1+71=72 should be 71+1=72 because of cross equations. BUT - if it is stand alone - the 71 or the 1 are not affecting any other equations… it is correct no matter what!!
They also added daily goals… 1 of which is to collect “leaves.” What leaves? So on days “leaves” are required, you don’t get credit for the day, and don’t get to add to streaks.
Great app for watching ads
Mon Mar 10 2025 XxtouhouxXI love after a hard day just getting on this app and watching some ads. Sometimes there’s this dumb math crossword game between the ads but besides that, it’s a great app if you’re in the mood to watch super entertaining ads. The ones where you have to wait for the x to appear, and then you press it and another ad appears, and then you have to wait for the x to appear again! How delightfully devious! My only advice is to get rid of that weird math game, because that’s not the reason we downloaded this app.
I’m also happy that there’s no way to purchase the removal of the ads, like lesser games. For example, I’m reminded of a game called cross math, that offers you the option to spend money for the removal of ads. It has surprisingly the same exact gameplay too.
In summary, this app has a very bright future ahead of it and is in no way a disappointment or destroyed by greed.
Love the game, Hate the adds
Fri Mar 21 2025 Duff001This game is a ton of fun if you like doing simple math problems and crossword/sudoku puzzles. It’s a great combination of the different style of puzzle games out there.
The only reason this is not a 5 star is because I can’t purchase a version of the game that removes the adds. I understand you need a revenue stream, but let me pay $3 or $5 to just play the game. Besides all of that the adds kill my battery life and turn my phone into a little heater. Dev’s please let us pay to remove adds!
Shut down between levels
Sun Apr 20 2025 Wilbur’s dadI enjoy playing this, but it is just a launching point to advertise other games. Every time I finish a level (up to 70 now) I have to completely shut the game down to get a new puzzle. It will not let me advance to the next level. At first, I was able to do about five or so levels before it started doing this. I know you make money off the other games, but can you please make this a game that is easier to play?
Overall Score Keep Decreasing Despite Scoring in the Top 1 percent
Tue Aug 05 2025 ConcernedaboutethicsI really like this game and I have had the top score for the past few weeks, and is now in the Diamond League. I really want to continue playing, but the consistent decrease in my overall score seems odd. There has to be a glitch in the system. I have noticed this for the past couple of weeks. Things such as ads showing my iPhone is affected with a Trojan virus to the consistent decrease in my overall scores. I wish the developers would look into this issue.
Ads for game are dumb
Tue Jun 10 2025 inveterate readerThere is an ad that exemplifies the outcomes from the various departments of education that are successfully dumbing down American kids. That hand can only work with 5 + 4 = 9 or 4 + 5 = 9. Really??? I downloaded the game just so I could post a comment. The game is not a real brain strainer, but it is fun. Too bad the ads are so pervasive! They are especially annoying when there is no clear way to escape back to the puzzles. I also don’t get the need for the flower theme for the levels I’ve played. I’m in a sapphire category for whatever that means.
Fun game but terrible ads
Mon Nov 18 2024 revdlcI was enjoying the game but the ads are becoming more and more intrusive and much more difficult to get rid of than the levels are to solve. It takes me 10-15 seconds to complete a level, then, and at almost every level and sometimes twice, I have to endure a couple minute long ad for other games I don’t want and that cannot be dismissed. Finally, mysteriously, the ad gives an x to dismiss it and get back to the game. It’s faster to force quit the app as an ad begins and start again!!
It’s an add stream, not a game, fake weekly competition.
Mon Jun 02 2025 HDD GuyWhen you have to watch an advertisement when finishing a round that takes less than 30 seconds and then watch a second advertisement to play the next round, you are spending more time watching advertisements then playing.
After playing a few rounds of the weekly competition at the diamond level, I’ve discovered you are not playing against people. The rankings of all the other “players” remains constant and they stop “playing” sometime in the last 12-24 hours. Not at all human behavior. No response from support when asked about this.
