✓ Fun.. but thenHad the same issue as stated. Enjoying the game but then on one level it decides to get stuck on a zoomed in part of the puzzle. With no way out! Of course this happened after I paid for no banner ads… anything you do to try to reset the game doesn’t work. You can delete it and start all over… but how annoying.. I was at level 96 when it happened. And then it happened again at level 46! Needs some serious maintenance before I’d give it a 5 star.. but seriously it was a fun game until that. I’ll keep playing I love hue until they figure out the bugs..KatR3Version: 15.0.2

✓ It would be great if you could pay to play without adsThis is a great game but there are far too many ads. And the ads have bugs. I have to close the game and restart it to fix an ad that ran on repeat multiple times without going back to the game. Another ad ends in a black screen that doesn’t allow you to return to the game. Each time that happens and I restart, I’m sent back to the puzzle I just completed. I would gladly pay for an ad free version of this game but it’s not available. The developers have missed an opportunity..Kamen098Version: 15.0.2

✓ Like the last person (who wasn’t a bot) said, it’s fine until it breaksSo the fact that someone else is getting the exact same bug I am, where the puzzles are now unworkable, and just sort of… huge and halfway shown in the bottom right side of the screen gives me at least a little bit of hope that this wasn’t planned obsolescence, but an actual bug they might fix eventually. That person was right though, there is absolutely nothing I have tried that has helped. I WAS really enjoying the game up until this point, oh well. Also, to the people who don’t understand why people are mad about the ads, here’s a more precise gripe about them: yes every game app still give you ads when you pick the ‘no thank you’ option for whatever perk they’re offering; but see the thing is, those ads are usually SHORTER or SKIPPABLE compared to if you had chosen the ‘yes please’ option. This app literally just shows you the exact. Same. Ad. Of the exact. Same. Length. And no way to skip it, because of course there isn’t. To be honest I don’t even mind that after a certain number of levels you’re just getting the same puzzles you’ve already played, I really didn’t expect anything else. That is a reasonable way to get ‘unlimited’ puzzles, and they have a fairly decent sized puzzle pool to draw from. Everything else though, that’s a little more egregious. Needs work..Gogo RavensdaleVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Lying about in-app purchases?I knew this would be an ad-farming app when I got it, but when I enjoy a game enough I don't mind paying to remove ads. I checked the list of in-app purchases to confirm there was a listing for removing ads and sure enough... However, get into the app and I can't find any way to purchase anything. Everything is constantly asking me to watch an ad and when I avoid any bonuses I would get by doing so, I still have to sit through an unskippable ad with multiple phases between each round. It gets the stars it does get because it's an enjoyable game, though the levels feel repetitive after a while. I play it mainly to help me learn color relations better so it's worthwhile... But I sure would play it a lot more if I could just pay to remove these godsforsaken ads. I might even be willing to watch ads for bonuses if I wasn't forced into them constantly anyways!.EndareiVersion: 16.0.2

✓ Needs more frequent updatesI love this game - so much so that I paid for the ad free version. Unfortunately I have experienced multiple glitches within the app - and the only thing to resolve it is an update - which as of right now I have been waiting 3 weeks for. Deleting the app temporarily resolved the problems but erases all of your progress. I wish they updated the app more frequently especially when their is a glitch preventing play!.Me! Version: 20.0.2

✓ Sooo many adsI find this game really relaxing and I enjoy it a lot, but the ads are KILLING me. I would happily pay to remove them, but the option isn’t anywhere in the app that I can see. Funnily enough there is a “restore purchases” button, but as I’ve never had the opportunity to pay to remove ads it of course does nothing. For me it would be 5 stars if I could get rid of the ads..Kyla CorriveauVersion: 5.0.2

✓ Keeps glitchingI loved this game. I would have given it 5 stars but it’s been glitching so that the screen is zoomed in and you can’t play. It did this to me yesterday and the only way to fix it was to delete the app and reload it but then it deleted all of my progress. Otherwise this is a beautiful and relaxing game. Update: It did it again. I am t playing I love Hue. I actually like this game play better but I can’t play when it freezes up like it does..Usedtobeobsessed!Version: 14.0.2

✓ Great game- too many ads!Okay I love this game but there’s ads between every level. Way too many! Let me do a t least 3 levels between ads please! Plus, it says in the game specs that there are in-app purchases in which you can pay to remove ads but I cannot find that option anywhere, nor does it ever prompt or ask if I would like to pay for ad removal (which I would!). Disappointed. Ads get in the way of an enjoyable game and actually keep me from playing it because it’s too many..Laurenhazard0818Version: 6.0.2

✓ Love could be betterI really do like this “game” I’m new to it and it is so relaxing. I like it so much that I would gladly pay for an ad free version. But this has to be one of the first games I’ve played with no ad free version?!? So weird. I always just deal with the ads. But this app has a ridiculous amount and they interrupt the calm feeling of the game. Here I want you to take my money and you don’t even want it? Also the game could benefit from some calming background music and a zoom in zoom out feature. Some of the levels I have trouble selecting the wrong tiny triangle over and over. Being able to zoom would fix this..ZtratagemVersion: 20.0.2

✓ Great game, terrible adsLove this game! I love that you can play casually on normal levels, but also has the competitive levels where you’re timed and have limited moves. I play this game almost every night when I’m winding down… however the ads in this game are ridiculous and glitch a lot, requiring you to close the app and start it up again. I’d pay to remove ads, but as this is not an option; the ads definitely take away from the experience of this game..HydenseakVersion: 20.0.2

✓ Too many ads, too many glitchesThis game is addicting and Ive been playing for a few weeks now. At first I sat through every ad, waiting for the X to pop up so I can resume playing and advance to the next level. Now, I often find myself closing out of the app entirely as soon as I complete a level. There is, quite literally, a minimum of 1 ad at the end of every level and half the time the ads freeze halfway through so I HAVE to close out of the app. The glitches are so annoying and don’t only occur with ads. Often times I’ll click a tile to move and it will enlarge due to selection, but then stay enlarged and not move to the other location I selected. The “hints” button doesn’t work no matter what I do, so being stuck on level 102 for 3 days without a hint has been quite a nuisance. I’d pay a small fee for this game to be ad-free with less glitches..KristinicolexVersion: 20.0.2

✓ Good game but one big bug/problemI really enjoy this game, however two times, once i’ve gotten to around level 70, the level freezes. the gradient pieces become super zoomed in and i cant move them or play the game. This would be fine if there was a way to reset it, but i’ve tried clearing out of the app and even restarting my phone and nothing fixes it. The first time i eventually just deleted and redownloaded the app and started over but now that it’s done it again i really don’t want to start from the beginning again. If this bug could be fixed i’d be very very happy because i’m very addicted to it but i’m tired of having to start over for no reason..Monkeylandyeah🐵🐵Version: 14.0.2

✓ Good game but..I love this game. It gives different shapes and sizes and the difficulty varies between each level but when I get stuck it gives you the option of watching an ad for hints or you can also buy them. I watch the 30 second ad to get the 5 hints and when I hit the button to utilize one of my hints nothing happens! I can click all 5 hints and not one piece will go to its correct spot. I will watch 3 separate ads that are 30 seconds long and only get 1-3 hints instead of the 15 hints. Now is there a limit to how many hints you can use per level? Maybe. But then why does it give you the option to continue watching ads for nothing in return?? It’s annoying. Please fix this..RubippVersion: 20.0.2

✓ Good concept besides it breakingThis game is super addictive. But like many reviews have stated, the game will break and zoom in on one area of the puzzle, then become unresponsive to any type of commands. It will use a hint and bring up wallpapers and such. But the game itself is useless. I’ve tried restarting, making sure it was up to date. Finally I deleted and reinstalled. It took me back to level 1 and 0 coins. I was on level 113 with 8000 coins. I just made it back up to level 109 and the same error happened. I’m going to stop playing until something gets fixed. Also, no use contacting support because there isn’t any way to. I’ve seen on Popcore’s Facebook that they are unresponsive to any contact methods tried. Pretty disappointed because I’ve loved several games from them..OklahomegirlVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Mixed feelingsI love this game. I play it in my spare time every day, I play it when I’m anxious, I play it before bed. I had this game downloaded and got to level 439 u think and then it started glitching. It was a level that was so zoomed in and wouldn’t let me zoom out or play it at all. I would exit and go back into it, still no. I tried turning on and off internet, no. Tried turning on and off phone, no. So I just deleted the app and redownloaded. Fine that I had to restart everything. Well again, I got to level 69 and the same thing happened. So now I’m redownloading for the 3rd time and we will see.Breanne-pickleVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Glitches and AdsI never write reviews and I am aware that there are so many similar reviews to the one I am about to make. I’m hoping the more people comment on these issues, the higher the possibility of something actually changing. That being said, I have wasted many hints because of glitches. It will say the puzzle is not complete and when I try to use a hint it does nothing. I will then reset the puzzle and have it exactly how I had it before and it works again. Recently, the puzzle pieces you are able to collect have completely gone white. You can no longer see the puzzles you’re building and I’m not even sure the pieces are being added. Lastly, the gosh dang ads. This is easily one of my favorite puzzle games I’ve ever had but my goodness. The ads are unbelievable. Every single level there is an ad and no option to even by a version with no ads! It is extremely frustrating..LibbCampVersion: 21.0.2

✓ Fine but no supportThe good: this is a perfectly fine, fun little game that is easy to get sucked into for a little while. The bad: each game round is quite short, and you have to watch an ad after every single game. This means you are literally spending half or almost half of your game-playing time watching ads. There is no way to buy your way out of the ads, and there is no button in the app to contact customer support. So basically this is an ad serving machine with zero support or customer service. Virtually any game like this pushes the balance of frustration to enjoyment in an effort to maximize profits, but when the frustration outweighs the fun and there’s no one to complain to, then the game is at least partially unsuccessful..JldbenjiVersion: 13.0.2

✓ Fine enough…until it breaksGenuinely enjoyed this game for a bit. As far as adverts go, it’s pretty typical. One banner advert at the bottom of the screen at all times. There’s also a “choice” to watch an advert after every level for up to 5x the coin payout, or you can choose to take the abysmal base payout…and be forced to watch an advert anyway. Pretty stock standard level of false advertising for free games these days. Really, the main issue is the game-breaking bugs. The current one I’m dealing with involves the puzzle taking up the bottom right corner of the screen, and clicking on the tiles that are visible does nothing. Clicking on hints uses up a hint, but does not affect the progress bar. Going through the various menus does nothing, and I can’t even click the button to unlock/play a challenge level. Restarting the app and device don’t fix it, either—the only two things I haven’t tried are deleting/redownloading the app, or contacting support. Frankly, none of the bugs I’ve run into would affect my rating if I could just contact support. Unfortunately, that’s not an option! There is no help menu, there is no support button in settings. Nothing I could easily find on any of their websites, aside from a general contact form that doesn’t seem to be intended for bug reports. Seems like a pretty massive oversight..JaggedPeaksVersion: 14.0.2

✓ Get rid of all one colorI really like this game. As an artist, I think every student in color theory class should take it. But it disappoints me when it does the all color puzzles. I know that so I’ll buy the clue package, which is annoying in itself. But the variations of the colors are so slight. It’s no fun to play the game anymore. I really enjoy the other puzzles. But the developers should dump the all one color. I just leave the app and go to another game to play by someone else..TeenoriVersion: 30.0.2

✓ Glitching constantlyI love this game, it’s really fun to play, and I can even get away from the ads by playing offline. But I rated so low because it keeps glitching so weirdly that I can’t play it anymore. It has zoomed in without giving me option to zoom out or make any moves, even when I restart the level, the app, or my phone. I’ve had to delete and redownload it to solve this problem, losing all my progress and having to start over. Other times I will be close to completing a level or have completed it but it won’t show level progress so it can never be completed. Usually when this happens I can try to use a hint and if my number of hints goes down but no moves have been made then I have to do the same thing, delete and redownload and lose all progress. I’d love to keep playing this game but it simply won’t allow me to. It’s not even a specific level that it does this, it’s pure chance..INeverWriteReviews:(Version: 20.0.2

✓ Great game. Terrible app.I loved the game so much I purchased No Ads. It was a reasonable price to avoid getting ads while I played the game without internet - which caused the app to glitch. When an ad pops up and there is no internet access, there is no option to close the pop-up and no way to move forward. These pop-ups happen at the end of a puzzle and throughout the puzzle when you select the “special tile” or whatever. I thought purchasing No Ads would stop them from playing but they still pop up. I’ll figure out how to get a refund. But why continue to play when it’s so annoying?.GTexterVersion: 25.0.2

✓ BrokenLet me start by saying, I actually love this app. It’s a good way to pass the time. However, I opened it up one day to play, and it gave me a “hard level” that I then completed. However, the bar is stuck on halfway complete. The gradient is completely correct, but it’s saying that it’s not. Any time I move ANY of the tiles, then bar goes down, but it’s still saying that half of the puzzle is incorrect. I tried to use the “hints” button to fix the tiles it says aren’t right, but I tap it, it uses the hint, and does NOTHING. It stinks because I really liked this game, and there’s no way I could find to bypass the level or fix the glitch. I had a fun time for the previous 193 levels, though..BlissyEmVersion: 20.0.2

✓ Could be GreatI’m obsessed with this game. I’ve only had it for 3-4 days and I’ve played 150+ levels! As a graphic designer, I really love colors and enjoy the peaceful sorting. The graphics and animations are very nice. But I have to knock off stars because the ads are too disruptive!! You have to watch an ad after every level, even if you choose to skip the extra star bonus. And the ads are not short. I would be more than glad to pay a one-time fee to go as-free, but this doesn’t appear to be an option (even though it’s mentioned in the game specs in the App Store.) There’s also no help/ support. I sent a message in the app inquiring about going ad-free and received no response..He's1sweetcookieVersion: 21.0.2

✓ Needs improvement from last upgradesI really like this game, but a couple of updates lately aren’t great. First they have the special tile, it’s just an annoying interruption, and it gives you coins but coins are useless. Also there’s no color change option that they used to have, which I’d much rather do than a whole green or blue puzzle. Also, coins are pointless, they don’t buy you anything useful. I do like that they gave a no ads option now available but I’m going to wait for some of the changes to see how it goes. Sometimes you’ll have it solved and hit the hint button and it’ll move a piece without a dot that meant to be stationary. Not helpful. Anyway, can upgrade rating if some of this is improved..MeehereVersion: 25.0.2

✓ Enjoyable, but brokenThe act of sorting colors is enjoyable, but I am now stuck on level 64 as the game has broken and will not let me progress further. The board only shows half the tiles, and won’t re-load the board after closing and relaunching the app. Even after restarting the puzzle with the reset option on the top left, it still won’t load the 64th level. The experience is fun, but the amount of ads is a little ridiculous. I’m happy to watch an ad to increase the rewards from a puzzle, but when you make me watch an ad when I finish a puzzle every time regardless of if I’m trying to double my rewards or not, that’s a little much..Poptart KittyzVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Great game, has a ridiculous featureI love this game. Very fun, very relaxing, and hasn’t glitched at all so far. The adds after every level are annoying, but I’ve seen much worse. The thing that really gets on my nerves is that if you’ve almost completed a level but you have to close the app/your device to do something else, when you come back to the game, if you want to continue from the point you ended on in that level, you need to watch an add. It’s ridiculous..Anonymous serenityVersion: 31.0.2

✓ Love this game butI have been playing this game for a while now. Its super relaxing and just fun to play. Today I open it up and it is stuck on level 239 and it is zoomed in and cut off on the right side of the screen. Even trying to do the challenge levels, they wont come up and its only that orange level that won’t let me click anything. I closed and opened it and even updated. Other than that, some small issues that I’ve had are pieces of the puzzle that are sometimes just TOO small and it takes me forever just to click the correct one. Another issue that I’ve run across a few times is when a “pinned” piece is actually moveable. They are supposed to be in the correct place and not be able to move but I’ve had it a few times where I had to change it to be correct. Lastly, when i first started i had a prompt to purchase no ads but after I played it for a while, i wanted to get it but I couldnt find it anywhere! Overall, i do really enjoy this game but I am very sad that it’s not working anymore for me TO play..RebelliousCottonCandyVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Ad after every levelReally enjoy it but the ads after every level is a bit much. Have clicked every button and no way to pay to remove them..Jemsha88Version: 20.0.2

✓ Liked it better beforeThis is one of my favorite games on my iPad. However, the recent change of adding a “race” that partially blocks the designs I’m trying to sort is a severe distraction. More than once, the “racetrack” blocked the trade I was trying to make. Especially when the shape is very small, that graphic is extremely obstructive. Please consider removing it, or at least moving it down on the screen, so that it doesn’t block the game’s graphics..Jomama66Version: 35.0.2

✓ BrokenI really enjoy this game, I find it relaxing, but I continuously get this issue where when I open the app, it’s slightly zoomed in on the current puzzle, and I cant interact with the puzzle in any way. I try to do other things like play the challenge levels, but the buttons to play each challenge level don’t respond to being tapped. The only way I’ve found to fix this issue is to delete and reinstall the app, which comes with the major downside of resetting all my progress. I’ve had to do this 3 times now. I enjoy the game but I am sick of having to delete my progress in order for the game to work. If this issue gets fixed, I’ll continue to play the game, but for the time being I’m gonna stop using it..JGThaliaVersion: 15.0.2

✓ Seems like a fun game…I played a couple levels of this game, because it seemed like a really fun game. Unfortunately, after every level that takes maybe 10 seconds, you’re stuck with a 30 second ad. I went to try and throw some money at the developers and purchase something so I could remove the ads, and there’s nothing in the game that allows you to purchase any of the in-app purchases that they mention are available. The only thing that is available is restore purchases, which I haven’t purchased anything yet so that does not work for me. Thus, I am going to delete the app and I’ll find something else to play..NadiaRaksVersion: 12.0.2

✓ HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE for kidsThe game itself is fine. Super glitchy, though, and I hate that the ads' audio interrupt my audiobooks. The biggest issue I have is with the semi-pornographic ads in a game that's for minors. Terms of use say users must be UNDER 18 in Brazil and UNDER 16 in the EEA. Then if you play in the evening you get (animated) ads featuring the bottom half of a maid who's stuck after falling through the ceiling, bare bottom exposed, while a dominatrix-type circles below her holding a cucumber. Then a button pops up asking, "Slap her?" while a man's hand mimes pressing the button and the maid kicks and struggles. Ew. If that's your thing, no judgement here. But it's not something I want to see and it's certainly not appropriate for a game rated 12+ by the app store and 13+ (but oddly sometimes 16 or 18-?) by the publisher..SarEliDeVersion: 31.0.2
