Weaknesses

Heavy reliance on ads: 'Too many ads interrupting gameplay' (review from May 2024)

Puzzle difficulty inconsistent: 'Some are too easy, others have no clear number clues' (review, Jan 2024)
App crashes on older devices: 'Freezes after 5 minutes on my iPad mini' (review, Jun 2023)
No offline mode: 'Can’t play without internet connection' (review, Feb 2024)
