Version 3.24.00
I can live with an occasional ad but with this game they are after every level, win or lose. Some of the levels are very difficult and you can barely place any pieces before you lose and as a result you are literally watching an ad every minute, so frustrating. Can you please just make it so you see an ad once you win or at least give us the option to pay to turn them off! It’s totally ruining it for me so will be deleting

Sure, the ads are the kind which you can theoretically close after 5 seconds (except those that stick shortcuts under the X - tiktok, royal match etc) but an ad after EVERY game you play is excessive.

I really enjoyed this game BUT with adverts EVERY time you finish a level it’s too much, fine for a free version but with NO option to buy an add free version and I would buy it, I’m afraid it too much. I’m going to have to remove the app to stop me straying into to the game and getting frustrated with all the adds.

I got this game because it’s shown with a shape and you can always see everything that comes up. In reality it’s a box and there are three different shapes. It would be much nicer if the game was as the ads show it. This change would be really appreciated.
Badly advertised

I downloaded this game thinking it was placing shapes into an outer shape, for example a triangle, diamond or duck. However it just seems to be a grid placing blocks into a square grid (boring) I could not see a way to get to the advertised shape filling!
Excellent Game

2024-01-15
I played this game for a few weeks and it was ok, but I didn’t get given a single ‘shape’ game like the ones they advertise. The reason I downloaded the game was because I wanted to play the game where you fill the shape with different pieces as per every single advert, but this didn’t happen. I did send a message asking why, but never got a reply. All the games consist of fitting pieces into a square, never a cat shape or any of the other shapes they show you on the adverts.
Too many ads rather pay for ad free
–
Ceahorsey –
2024-01-15
There is an ad after every ‘go’ you have. Each 30 secs long or longer. You turn off sounds and some ads despite having mute on still make loud noises. Not good if you’re trying to sneak a game in. I love this game. But the ads are ruining it for me. I’d rather pay for ad free. Max £5.

The game advert shows a brain teaser to fit all the blocks into a shape, this game is nothing like that. Quite boring but that might be because I expected something a bit more challenging
Ads Ruin Game

I love the game but the ads are far too much and on for a lot longer than one game. However the ads drove me absolutely mental. The ads wouldn’t be so bad if it was something interesting, but that game is absolute rubbish, I couldn’t think of a worse game to play. I will not be downloading this game again until they get rid of that pathetic game they advertise for longer than there own game is playing. The games they advertise are not challenging just boring.
I have therefore deleted the game.

I play the game religiously every day by both closing the daily challenge as well as going through the levels but the adverts are starting to wear me down and the I’m close to deleting the game. Big shame. Would buy an Ad free version but can’t see it being offered. This is my first EVER review of an iPhone app and it’s a shame that I’ll be giving it 1 star due to the adds

Loved the game, but deleted it now as you wanted my ip address, analyse my data, and third parties involved, this information came in a pop up box after a day of playing and could not continue playing until I accepted this, no way do I accept this! Such a shame, it’s a great game!

Been playing this game for many many years now. However am not happy anymore because I hate being half way through a game and ads come up. Some of them don’t close which means I have to close and reopen the app. Some ads take forever to finish and there’s no where to pay for ad free. I understand you must have some ads but if you do why does it have to come up while playing a game. I mostly play the weekly challenges which I enjoy the most. Plus all those ads are off no interest to me whatsoever. If wasn’t for that would definitely have given 5*
Love this game!

Found it on one of Facebook shorts ads.
BTW great marketing strategy ticking people’s brain in getting into downloading the app.
It’s been one of my essential travelling companions.
The only part is that there are a bit too many options to get into the puzzles, but not enough incentives. There is Classic, Daily challenge, and Journeys. Usually I’ll just stick to Classic and Daily Challenge. Journeys seem a bit redundant and not attractive enough.
But other than that, I really enjoy playing the game.
Ad time should not exceed game time
–
Colin Mackay –
2023-12-16
I love this game, but the ad time is often greater than the game play time, especially at the start of a “journey” where the levels are easiest. For challenging levels that take several minutes to solve then a 30 second advert between levels is still annoying, but acceptable. However, between easy levels that take seconds it is ridiculous! I would love to pay to remove ads but there’s no such option. It wouldn’t be so bad if the ads were varied, but it’s usually the same small set on heavy rotation. I’m sick of it!
More time with adverts than playing the game
–
5p3|<tr4l –
2023-11-24
Same usual story with 'free', ad-laden games - super easy levels with an advert after each and every one. In fact it's more difficult to quit out of the adverts than it is to play the game, given that the game never seems to go anywhere. No ability to disable ads or play without wifi, either, so it's just an advert factory. The game is also wholly different to its own adverts. So if you like playing games that look nothing like the adverts purport to be, and you also like watching lots of adverts, this game is for you.
Game is great, usability is poor

You have a great game here that I’ve enjoyed for several months. Now deleted, for two reasons: persistent, repetitive and lengthy adverts and can’t use it offline ( I assume so you can keep playing those long adverts all the time). On the tube, on a plane, anywhere with no mobile coverage, and there’s lots of those places, and you can’t use it. I travel a lot and since this online only play started it has finally done it for me. At least I can now avoid those long adverts!

So many of these games miss the mark this is know different. When levels get dum I want something to just get on to next level, not get stuck for so long it raises the blood temperature. Phone are expensive so throwing them in frustration isn’t good and that is what these games do well at.
Then the ads contribute to the frustration. After every turn is too much. We need regulations to stop the bombardment of ads in game. Fifteen minutes between ads as on TV and as phones are so in your face the ad break should be no more than one minute. And come down hard on all these games falsely advertising they are ad free. As we all know that is only if you pay for the removal of them.
Ads are too intense - game deleted
–
Pauluuk2015 –
2023-11-15
Genuinely really like this game and find it so much fun but a game can often take 30 seconds or less and then you are forced to watch an ad after every game which takes the fun out of it when your watching 20 ads in the space of 10 minutes. There is no option to pay for premium/ no ads (which I would do and you also can’t play when your on a plane (with aeroplane mode) as it detects your not connected to Wi-Fi and it can’t force you to watch ads every 30 seconds. It’s embarrassing for the founders considering how well the game has done and that you have people willing to pay for premium. I’ve deleted the app for good now.
Great game but now won’t work after updates

Love this game, but it stopped working today on level 147 which is frustrating. Checked the App Store for game updates and there was a second one for this week so updated. Still won’t open. When you open the game the Woodoku page shows, then skips to blank screen. I’m on IOS. I’ve turned the iPad off a few times, updated my IOS still nothing. Your support button leads nowhere which isn’t helpful. My problem or yours? Any ideas? Can’t contact you through the App ad it won’t load why don’t you put one on your website?
Internet requirement

I’ve really really liked the game. Amazing graphics, good difficulty, keeps me very occupied. However since the latest update you are required to be connected to the internet, (i guess this is because of the ads) Which sadly makes me unable to play on the underground while travelling, or at work if i have some free time. My office is located in the basement. So very sad I can’t play with this anymore. If there is a way to be this removed i’m sure loads of us would appreciate
False advertising

I clicked on this app add from within another app because what was advertised looked really challenging and fun. Yet no where in this app is the game that was advertised! What an absolute waste of my time. What is the point in this? Sick of this sort of false advertising and the app stores should ban developers who do this. I doubt i will get a response from the developer of this app regarding this: they seem to pick and choose who they respond to. UPDATE: I received this useless standard response: “ "We're sorry to hear that you're not having a good experience with our game 😔. We want to provide the best possible experience for our players, so we'd like to learn more about the issues you're facing. Could you please contact our support team? We're dedicated to resolving any problems you encounter. Thank you for bringing this to our attention💝" Please can you explain how i contact the support team? The answer is there is no customer support team. The link on the app store takes you to the developer website (useless). Sick of App stores allowing rubbish like this to exist.

BEGINNING OF THE DESCRIPTION - Hello. I would like to make a report for Woodoku. There has lots of reports from people because the only one thing that’s been reported is from ads.
REASON - Sadly, I won’t be playing Woodoku for a day or a week because of that. When I come back, would you add a purchase button that removes ads for a amount for like £1.99 or £2.99 or more. It’s great that my favourite game Flow Free has a purchase button to remove ads but I also want to pay £4.99 to remove ads and it also includes to unlock all of their levels to complete. But for Woodoku, they forgot that payment button to remove ads. Remove ads button to pay might be their next update.
APOLOGISE - Developers, I am very sorry that I would not play Woodoku for this reason. I hope I will be playing this until I get a button to get rid of ads.
GOODBYE MESSAGE - Thank you for making the game stress-free! And for all people, thank you for reading.
From: Me.
It would be 5 stars if….

I love this game, it’s so addictive, the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because of the journey, I think the time to do the journey should start when you play the first level. The hours start when I’m sleeping and then I have work so I am missing like 15 hours of play time and I want to get to the end levels. I find that annoying, at least give me a chance. Otherwise, love it

I love the game, not an overwhelming amount of adds and the graphics are beautiful. I like that there are different types of challenges:
collect jewels 💎, reach a specific score and so on. Maybe you could create more block patterns like four across and three up or something. Also, maybe win coins in each game that you complete then use them to change the board that the blocks fit into ? Thanks for reading 📖
Ads getting worse
–
LeLoir –
2023-07-13
You now can’t see your score before the ads start up when each play ends. And the ads are a nightmare to get rid of. And they play sound regardless of your settings. So you close the app quickly and then re-open it. Which eats battery. And it now doesn’t open in the home screen and the daily game thing is just a way of introducing a short game to show you more ads. The main game is really good with a nice display but the owners are greedy. Play your ads between games without over-riding my sound settings and I might actually watch them!!
Great gameplay but lies

I downloaded this app under the “No wifi” section. I downloaded and played for a day perfectly fine, testing it out to make sure I can play and have fun when I have no wifi on car journeys etc (I’ve found other apps to do this exact same sneaky thing before).
I opened the app again the next day, played normally, but then went to test the game without wifi again but after a couple games of it working just fine it didn’t. I was playing a level on the “journey” section and lost the level but when I pressed the retry button it wouldn’t let me because I had no internet! False advertisement that’s endorsed by apple and it kept up the lie so far so that you’re engrossed in the game. Will not be playing again despite the well made and enjoyable game, I don’t stand by this lying.
Far too many ads
–
CreativeSoul55 –
2023-06-30
This isn’t a game with a few ads popping up now and then, this is a whole series of ads with a bit of game play chucked in to keep the user coming back. Don't get me wrong, the game play for the daily challenge is fun but an ad comes up after EVERY attempt, so I leave the game after every attempt and wait a while to try again just to avoid the ads. The journey game is a joke, made deliberately easy and over in less than 30 seconds just so you can watch another ad. If there was an ad free version, I would buy it, but as it is, I think this game won't last much longer on my iPad. It's almost unplayable in its current form, unless you love the hard sell in your apps.
The ads are killing this for me

I cannot tell you how much I love this game. I love the graphics, the gameplay, the fact you don’t have to buy power ups or lives, it gets progressively more challenging. It’s got everything except for the problem of the ads.
I really want to pay to be ad free. I would be very happy to do that. I now have to sit through an ad after every single game. When a journey first starts the first few levels can be cleared in a minute so I’m having to sit through ads literally every other minute. It’s so frustrating and is completely killing this game for me. I love it but I am going to have to stop playing because it is driving me insane.
You have got an amazing game on your hands here but it’s ruined by the sheer amount of ads we are expected to sit through.
Please offer an ad free version in exchange for money. I’ll be first in line.

My OT and I downloaded this game and I am currently sitting on game 84!! I love it as it keeps my brain in the game!! I do however wonder why my hubbys game has coins to be collected and rockets to destroy thing on the board (specifically journey) whereas I have none of these and our versions appear to be the same? I am going to update but terrified it’ll wipe out progress of my game when I’m so close!!!
Good game but…

This is a good puzzle solving game and quite enjoyable but I do have one thing against it. The game is not user friendly for anyone who has colour deficient eyesight, and there are no controls to be able to improve it. Example is that Yellow and Green tiles, and I’m assuming they are Yellow and Green, look exactly the same. There’s a similar problem with some Blue tiles, and it makes the game even more difficult to complete.
Colour blindness or Colour deficient eyesight isn’t a rare condition, please do something to help those with this issue
‘Journey’ gets too difficult- otherwise it’s good

The game is fun and enjoyable. However, the way the ‘Journey’ part of the game escalates in difficulty really needs to be reviewed. Each one takes days to complete after 55 or 60 and gets really very stressful. People play games to relax and not to get stressed. Otherwise I’d have given 5 stars, but as it stands now, I can’t give more than 3 stars. I recommend buying it, but really hope this part can be rectified and improved.
One quick question and complain (what happened to me)

So I started playing this game yesterday and I found out about it from my grandad and he asked the same question I want to ask right now. He said “the thing is you get on levels and it glitches do you know how to fix it?” And then I played and started to glitch I don’t know if it’s cause it’s probably my internet or something but if it isn’t pls fix it.
Invasive adds and manipulation means I’m walking away.

I could forgive the differences between what was promised and what you get with this game as the games are challenging. The real problem I have are a) the Journey section constantly tells you you have only a fixed time to complete it and in my view manipulate you to complete the levels with the promise of a goal that means you can’t easily walk away from it - I’ve completely stopped playing that part because of it - and b) the games have adverts at the end of each level, which is fine, however they have started appearing whilst in a level and even while you are making a move - Too much!!! So I’m walking away.
Frustrating

The game starts out great, you can’t win every game and I’m prepared to lose some. However, once you start to get rolling, that’s when the frustration begins. I’m pretty convinced that it’s designed to make you lose so many times, meaning you have to watch so many ads before the game lets you pass the level. I’m all up for a challenge but when the game is just throwing out the exact opposite of what you need, it’s ridiculous. It is suppose to be random, but it’s funny how people get stuck on the same levels. Maybe when they have got enough revenue out of that level, it may let you pass. Not a chance that is is completely random.
As overkill

I have always enjoyed this game however, with one of the recent updates, ads are popping up during games. If you are mid move this makes your block drop into a random area. This is happening at least 5 or 6 times each game which has completely ruined it now. Ads between games I can tolerate but this is utterly pointless - unless you are looking for people to delete the app, in which case you’re succeeding!
Great game, BUT…

I would pay for this game, but it’s not an option, instead you are stuck with adverts, after every single solitary game. Some dismiss easily, others effectively hijack your iPad, and it’s annoying, really annoying, it ruins what otherwise would be a clear 5* game. All the parts of the game are equally playable, a good challenge for young and old players. It’s a really really good engaging game, BUT THE ADVERTS ARE ENOUGH TO DRUVE YOU TO DISTRACTION! i had to remove the profanity from this before posting, otherwise my rant on adverts would have got me banned! This game is ruined by excessive advertising.
Stuck on level 63 and the ads are literally constant!!

So I love playing the journey but I can never get past level 63, I literally get stuck for days and end up giving up. There must be something wrong and I surely cannot be the only person. I wondered if it was my skill level hit it’s the same almost every single time!
Also the ads are absolutely annoying, literally every time you complete or loose a game a new ad appears that you have you have to wait for and some go on for what feels like forever. I don’t care about the ads but does it have to be after every single game!! I once was able to purchase add free but since an update happened that has been removed!!
Enjoyable just don’t take it too seriously.

I’ve been playing for a couple of months. It’s a great brain trainer. I complete the daily challenge and got a full calendar last month. My high score is approaching 2500, it would be good to have a league table to know how good this is? The journey is another matter though. While I enjoy a demanding challenge it becomes unplayable for me at level 63 and I wonder if it’s my skill level or just that the game is impossible? Anytime I make progress at this level I’m presented with a hand of multiple 4 piece diagonal string hand where only one piece is playable but doesn’t complete a row or box so the game ends. This doesn’t happen in regular gameplay as much. Maybe the algorithm needs a tweak, maybe I’m just not very good lol. Either way this is killing the game for me so I’ll be moving on as there is no way I can make progress within the time limits. Ads are fine. Everyone needs to get paid but do they have to be so cheap and repetitive? Do the touch targets really have to be so small and inconsistently placed? Update: two days to get to level 63. Two days stuck on level 63. What must the difficulty of level 83 be like? If this game is scaled to get progressively harder this doesn’t make sense. Go on admit this game hasn’t been developed pass this level 63?
Love the game

Love the game hate the ads. Since first getting this app the ads have increased. It’s so bad now that I spend more time watching ads than playing the game. There are too many ads and far too long also some of the ads will not go away no matter how many times the X is pressed. It’s now affecting the game. Because ads are so long it is slowing the game down and freezing it. I go to move a piece and it freezes mid way so I’m left with a piece halfway across the board and when the app regains speed again it fixes the piece where it froze leaving it in a random place. Game is becoming unplayable
SO SO SO LAGGY SMH

The main game is boring, just trying to get a new score. But I LOVE the daily challenge and the Journey. There’s a short 5 second advert between games which isn’t so bad, BUT the ads make the game hang VERY badly. Frustrated dropping pieces in the wrong spot because the game froze. There’s a problem with rotation too.
The rewards are rubbish but it’s satisfying to get to the end of the journey. Journey theses are boring, I wish there were better rewards like a collection to build up.
iPad 2 Air with latest iOS. It’s painful to play with the lag and I would rather pay for an ad free version. It’s becoming intolerable.
Don’t download

Why don’t download? Too many ads, you can’t play this offline (it may allow you to play a game or two but not more than that), it’s programmed. So the blocks don’t come randomly. I have seen that well enough that this is not random because when you make an opening to need a left hook, the right hooks start to come. The single block doesn’t come when you need but comes a lot when you don’t need. So they have programmed the game such that the puzzle defends itself by not providing you with the required blocks you need
OK with improvements needed

So we have to adverts or in-game purchases and this is annoying especially with the rubbish that is advertised (just how many crappy homescape games are there?!?)
But one thing would make this game 100% better - a swap option! Given that the tiles are chosen by the app and there is no way to see what is coming up, an option to swap a tile might ‘save’ some of the longer games - collect 49 out of 50 gems only to have the next set of three tiles greyed out as ‘no space left’ is annoying. I might even be willing to watch an advert for that.
Why aren’t developers addressing in game ad banner disruption?!

2022-10-03
Loved the game up until recently; happy to have ads in between levels as I know they’ve got to make money somehow. But the in game ad banners not only cause lag but now pop up with the App Store page MID MOVE and cause pieces to fall in the most inconvenient places, rendering all previous, carefully considered efforts during the level moot as the piece you were moving gets put in the worst place possible, it happened no less than 9 TIMES during a single level today, WHY DO THIS?! On the verge of deleting it now as it’s disruptive, intolerable and utterly unnecessary. I get you gotta make money but won’t you think of gameplay?? I play it much less these days because of this and will bin it off soon as it renders the game almost unplayable. Some kind of response from the developer on this would be great as there is no way to contact them other than complaining on here. You’re not going to make money if people now hate playing the game and delete it due to an easily fixable issue and nobody likes a developer that doesn’t respond to feedback. Please fix this. There are plenty of other games that I can play that don’t have such fundamental flaws, I’m already scoping out alternatives to replace this with.
Wasting puzzle time

Love the puzzles, good colour contrast for visually impaired people like myself who still have some useful sight .
I absolutely hate the adverts, I would rather have option to purchase a ad free version , I also find that some of the adverts stick do you can’t return to puzzle, I end up having to turn my phone off /on
On a few occasions I find the tiles on the puzzle are very sticky and freeze mid screen or drop where you don’t want them.
If these couple of things were rectified it would be a 5/5 rating instead of 3/5
Not as advert shows!!! Avoid.

Wow!! What a waste of time this was. Didn’t have any shapes to fill like the advert shows. You basically have to fill a big box with Tetris style shapes. Crappy, and I mean really crappy version of Tetris. Like the screen doesn’t move or anything. Collect gems and waste your time watching adverts as there is an ad after every single level. Bored me to almost death so I deleted it before it sent me over the edge. Please don’t waste your time or your life. Go find some paint and watch that dry because that’s more entertaining. Wow, just WOW!! Had to give it one star or it wouldn’t let me submit the review but let’s be clear. If I could’ve given it 0 starts I would’ve.
BRILLIANT GAME!!!

I just wanna say, please never shut this game down! I love playing it so much! Great job to all the team! It’s a great way to make ways of completing a level by helping me to use my brain with thought through every step!
(Plus I must say that for an injured guy bored at home relaxing 24/7, it is the best way to pass through my long hours)!
I’m used to the ads, no big deal, you can easily skip them within seconds!
A bit too well thought out evil

Okay so I get apps have to make money and some people may think that ads are better than microtransactions but allowing users to play the game for a certain amount of time in offline mode just to block them from playing until they’re connected back to wifi in an attempt to get them hooked enough to play with wifi is kinda sucky and it may work on some people it didn’t work on me.
And even though the ads for this game appear to have certain features the main game doesn’t, the gameplay is over all fine
Still not cool though 😑
Far far too many ads

When I’m enjoying a game and I get interrupted, I form a negative association with whatever is interrupting me. In this case it's the adverts. They are persistent, highly intrusive and spoil the enjoyment of the game.
I deleted the app after a few goes and am likely to remember the products advertised in a negative way.
Just my opinion but this seems like terribly poor marketing. Whoever is behind that stupid pig solitaire game that kept getting in my face has wasted their money. I’ll never download it. It’s like a creep in a bar that doesn’t get the hint to get lost. I’m genuinely angry about it.

When you see adverts for this on a game, it will show you a fun-looking game in which you have a shape (in the advert I saw before downloading it was a cat) and you have to use the blocks to fit into the shape to see how high IQ you have. I thought this looked really fun and downloaded it, only to be massively disappointed. The game is nothing like the adverts, unless you count the fact that you are putting blocks in a shape. The real game is that you try and get the blocks in a row. I suppose it is a fun game, but I am unimpressed as it is nothing like the adverts. If the adverts were truthful I would have given it five stars. Can you please fix the advert problem as I do not want more people to be misled?
Game is okay, lousy level design

Enjoyed this game when i downloaded it. Then came the Camping journey that was unlocked. Whoever makes the levels for this game needs an understanding of how to create them. Level 40 within the Camping journey is 100% impossible and the game repeatedly spawns pieces that make it unwinnable. I’ve tried at least 50 times using all sorts of combinations, but it is not even possible to complete it, and a level which is only winnable by a fluke combination of pieces is not enjoyable to play. Had to give up caring about this game, since bad level design and no testing of the winnability of a level by its developers is bad for users.
Overly frustrating

This is fun and addictive. However I’ve deleted it after being stuck on the journey level 47 for three days. Sometimes I couldn’t even get the first three pieces out as I needed space for a horizontal 5 and there was nowhere to put it right at the start of the game, how is that fair? And I echo other peoples comments about it not giving u the colours u actually need. It shouldn’t put colours out u already have acquired enough of. If players can’t progress then why would they play or even have the game? And if we have to watch so many ads why not at least offer some boosters in the game? Like swap pieces, remove a single block, remove last placed piece. When u have spend a good 10 minutes collecting 29 gems and u just have one or two left it’s so frustrating to fail when u don’t have any option at all. I guess this game just isn’t for me.

I was loving this puzzle, especially trying to complete the weekly challenge. Now something’s gone wrong! Last week I got to level 50 and the game reset half way through the week! Today I tried on a different iPad, got to around level 20 and the same thing happened! What is going on? I think I’m going to delete the game, it’s too frustrating to lose all progress half way through a challenge. It’s supposed to be relaxing! It isn’t! I’ve tried reporting the problem, the app doesn’t recognise me! Pah! Tried again and got to level fifty only to lose all progress on Thursday! So angry I’m deleting it! Impossible to get to support, games shouldn’t make people angry!
Amazing

I love this app it’s so fun you get to connect the pieces and it’s really good for kids to learn about their different shapes as there is many different ones that they give you. This app is almost a game I always play and they include all the different holidays and incorporate them in the game E.g- St’ Patrick’s day and lots of others . This game is so amazing to play . I recommend this game fir everyone to play .
Good but frustrating.

There are times when this game is a lot of fun to play, and also others where it becomes really infuriating.
It’s possible to make good progress with the first few levels, but soon you get told there is no space available when your score is very low, and this repeats a number of times, before suddenly things change and it becomes very easy again.
Had a game where a only one more of a certain colour was needed and the game didn’t put that particular colour out at all. It simply kept adding blocks with colours has already been completed.
The ads are also a major pain, and there should be an option to skip these, especially when you’ve already watched State of Survival 20 times!
Think twice …..

I would love to give this more than two stars as it’s quite an addictive game (for a reason. It turns out!)
1. At the end of EVERY puzzle you compute you’re forced to sit through up to 60s+ of adverts that you are unable to switch off. The developer has chosen to generate revenue from ads only rather than being able to pay to switch them off which very quickly kills the enjoyment of the game.
2. The app is constantly doing stuff remotely in the background as highlighted by Norton (installed on my phone) constantly blocking it from going to sites which are flagged as being unsafe. This causes the app to respond sluggishly a lot of the time as frequently, mid-move of a piece, the whole app hangs for several seconds. I have never had such a problem with any other reputable app …..
Nice idea but developer greed (incessant ad serving) kills the appeal and enjoyment of a very promising game.
And the reason such a simple puzzle game is rated 12+? Undoubtedly the kind of adverts it serves up ……
Lousy with advertising

This is probably a great game, but I am SO sick of games that don't let you get a taste of how good they are because they force you to watch 15-30 second ads in between each level. Seriously, I am more than willing to pay for a good game, but at least let me spend more time playing it than I have to spend watching crappy ads so that I can make a decision. Get your marketing, sorted out - give people at least 10 free levels before the rain of advertising opens up - and then at least 2-3 levels in between each on going forward. Make a clear link to how to purchase to go ad free as well. Probably great game but who cares.

Used to be a good game and enjoyable but ruined by your inability to tidy up the faults - too jerky - ads cannot be got rid of - often freezes and one cannot do anything but leave the game and come back another time, which one does not always bother to do! - now totally spoilt - about time you either pulled the game or did something constructive like sorting out the problems, that is always assuming you have the required skills and ability to do this which one questions. What is the point of having a game when it is impossible to get rid of an ad so that one can continue to play the game, it becomes pointless - sort out the problems if you have the capability do do so which one is beginning to doubt!

Almost everything is right about this. But you don’t always get to see which block is coming next - you see groups of 3 blocks and only get to see the next set of 3 after placing the current set of three on the grid.
This introduces an element of luck that spoils the game - sometimes you have a choice of places to put a block in and if you knew what the next block was you’d be able to make the right choice. As it stands it’s down to luck and that’s disappointing for a strategy game.

Loved this game from the start and became quite addicted. Only then did it become obvious that the adverts (etc) were playing havoc with my phone. It is NOT an old phone; I do NOT use this phone for much more than calls, email, messaging, Facebook and to date have not had a second’s problem.... until I installed this app. I suspect that the constant adverts are responsible for the app failing/freezing etc. I have, regrettably, deleted it. Phone behaving properly again. ‘Nuff said...

It is a nice way to waste away some time but some levels on the ‘journey’ element are simply ridiculous and it is amazing how many times the ‘random’ pieces are always the ones you don’t want. Yet, the next time you play the ones you wanted last time are the only ones you get. Also, if you set a challenge to get a certain number of a particular colour maybe make it fun by actually giving you those colours not every other one! As I say, it is fun but I have nearly deleted on more than one occasion because of how frustrating it is (and appears deliberately so).
Addictive, but boring

I love this game. It’s addictive, creative, and the daily challenges are great! And I don’t even mind the many, long ads (I understand the need for them). But I absolutely hate that, after the three pieces come up, and I’ve played those three pieces, the new trio seem to be programmed AGAINST me, even so much as ‘greying out’ so I can’t even play them unless I play out a row or cube (which half the time, it won’t allow me to!). I get that it’s supposed to be difficult, but this is just downright lazy programming. If you’re not going to have levels, with increasingly difficult challenges as you go, at least do a little more with the one level we have to work with.
It would be much better if, when you played one piece, a new piece automatically replaces it, one for one, so you always have three options and can continue playing.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Love it otherwise! But if something doesn’t change soon, I won’t have the patience to continue, which will be a shame.
