Dots: A Game About Connecting for Negative User Reviews

Missing power-up’s/boostersGood enough game...But everyday I’m missing a power-up or booster (or whatever you call them)...You start out with five. I used one...just one...and the next day I was at three. Now a day or so later, haven’t played the game at all in 24 hours, and now I’m down to two, never touching the boosters. So that’s why the one-star...I’ll play this again when I get my boosters back. Edited: Dec 2 2018: Now I’m down to one booster in the game when I haven’t used any...fix this, or like the other Dots game, this too will be deleted. Dec 2 2018: Ok, totally deleting this game. I was playing the game and as I’m playing, my last booster was stolen or something...it just disappeared...how can this be? I never touched it. The game is gone... deleted..Version: 2.4.7

Addictive but spoiled by in-app purchaseGreat game but being able to buy advantages is pointless as it takes away the skill. Also in-app purchases are totally in your face, a real put-off..Version: 2.0

Since updating it doesn't workDoesn't work anymore since I last updated.Version: 2.4.7

BugDepuis la mise à jours, le jeu a crashé. Je ne vois plus rien, c'est tout blanc. J'ai supprimée l'application et je l'ai réinstallée en espérant que ça revienne mais non. Je trouve ça dommage puisque j'adore ce jeu..Version: 2.2

Small dotsBring back the option for small dots please..Version: 2.4.7

Hi.You should change it so that there's a number of dots that you have to connect to pass the level. and it should get harder..Version: 1.5.2

Was a 5 until July 1st updateShortened timer and made a great game yuck !! Fix it or I will delete.Version: 2.2

Was a great gameUsed to spend hours playing this Since updated its slow and a lot bigger don't like it as much sorry.Version: 2.2

Used to be great, now it’s brokenUsed to be a fun game, now after collecting over 30,000 dots, the game started acting bizarre, then it simply froze. Super disappointing..Version: 2.2.2

Fun gameIt’s a fun game to play. But some of the ads are way too heavy and really long! Often it freezes..Version: 2.4.7

Needs UpdatingVibrations and sounds aren’t working, noticeably more glitches, main menu disappears after you change themes etc hope they fix this stuff I’ve loved this game for years!.Version: 2.4.7

Was great, now not so...I did live this relaxing time filler game. Also beloved by an autistic child as the game was without interruptions. Now part way through the game messages come up, including a clumsy monetising scheme of buying more dots...ruins the game play. Hope you guys work out another way of doing things so we can come back to play..Version: 2.0

Avoid upgrading to the iPad versionIf you play on an iPad then avoid upgrading to the latest version. Previously I could play at 2x resolution with large dots that fitted the display. And I could play with those large dots holding the iPad in landscape orientation. With the new "so called" iPad version the dots are tiny (the same size as an iPhone screen - and would be even smaller, I imagine, on the iPad mini) and they are lost in a huge permanent white border. Also the game can only be played holding the iPad in portrait orientation. I immediately deleted the app and reverted to the previous version on my iPad - even though it cost me my data and high scores. But it was well worth it for the vastly superior playing experience. If you are lucky enough not to have made the mistake of upgrading automatically - then don't!.Version: 1.7

Not a good upgrade...This was an excellent game, and a great way to pass the time. But the latest upgrade keeps nagging me to buy things: "You have only a second left! Buy 10 more seconds!" As a result, I've found myself playing it a lot less. Offer things, yes, but nag incessantly? You lose customers that way, especially when there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to turn it off. How about offer it once, tell me where to go to get the upgrade, and have a "got it" button.Version: 2.0

Was good, now notSince the new update things have disappeared. I can't see any info on the settings screen. The countdown thing is gone from the top of the playing screen and the timed play seems to randomly set itself to a longer time. Such a shame..Version: 2.2

Addicting but it has minor set backsThis game is very addicting but on the iPad the dots should be bigger or there should be a bigger game space with more dots. It's great but it if that could be fixed, I'd be five stars P.S. has anyone gotten a score of more than 200.Version: 1.7

My game is broken!!Ever since the new update things are missing (no power ups, timer etc.) and this needs to be fixed! I love this game so much that it is easily the most used application on my phone, and I really don't want to use a broken version of this. Please fix this as soon as possible, otherwise you are gonna lose a lot of fans. :(.Version: 2.2

I can’t playI would love to play, it sounds and looks a really good game, but but when I click on the app, it gives me the quote, I press ok, and it shows two dots, and nothing happens after that. My phone an iOS 8 or something, it says it will work. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but it doesn’t work. Help.Version: 2.4.7

OkCan play but can't see a lot of things on screen after last update.Version: 2.2

Latest updated not as good on iPadI loved playing this game, and although it wasn't designed for iPad I was able to 'x2' the screen, which meant the dots filled my screen, now in the new improved version 'with bigger dots for iPad' (???), the play area is in a tiny section in the middle of the screen, which I'm sure is smaller than previously (before extending the screen size in the iPod version) and actually looks silly on an iPad screen. This has ruined the experience for me, so please sort it out - at least give people the option of a full sized screen of dots - this update does not maximise on the capabilities of the iPad at all..Version: 1.7

Excellent, but has an annoying bugThe simplicity and addictiveness of this game warrants it 5 stars. As does the slick, yet simple, UI design. The only issue I have is with 1 quite frustrating bug. Sometimes when you clear out 1 colour (either by completing a square or by using an expander) and you plan it so you will end up with a resulting square to clear off another colour... it sometimes doesn't work and you end up left without a square to complete. It's almost as if it resets the entire board (same as when you run out of moves). This has cost me a shed load of dots due to having to replace wasted expanders. Fix it and you get 5 stars!.Version: 2.0.1

Purchases aren’t appliedI bought the double dot add on for £5 and while it says enabled on the app it doesn’t apply in game. A waste of money.Version: 2.4.7

FunFun puzzle, gets a bit repetitive but a good time killer..Version: 2.0.1

Probably will not keep it.I'm not that impressed. I would probably like it better if it had better instructions on what the goal is. Also, if you're not willing to get the paid version you only have 30 moves per game. It's over quick..Version: 2.3.5

Do a barrel rollI love this game but I've been trying to complete all the little achievements and endless is the only way I've figured out how to complete the "do a barrel roll" and when I do that it doesn't give me my reward it says I completed it but I never get the 8000 dots so I don't understand what the point is now.Version: 2.4.7

Needs moreThis would easily get 5 stars if there was more to the game than just continual 60 second rounds. A marathon mode or something similar would be great! And eventually a puzzle mode! I'm hoping for an update because it's well executed, beautiful and conceptually awesome..Version: 1.5.2

Not so much fun anymoreI used to play this game years ago when it first came out and when you had to complete each level. the game has changed the game a lot. You have to buy themes and it’s not the same fun that it used to be. There’s not many good features anymore either..Version: 2.4.7

Where'd my dots go?I had over 27000 dots before the latest update. Now I have none. What happened????.Version: 2.2.2

Wasn't broken till they fixed itThis app used to be great until the update. No counters for score or remaining time/moves and no settings options. Dumb.Version: 2.2

Rotate on iPad would be nice.That would make a great game even greater!.Version: 2.4.7

Gravity mode - just lost 8000+ dots!!I would have been giving this app 5 stars except for the '1week only' gravity mode... Good idea but now just annoying. Various spare moments standing in queues etc in the last two days has been spent building up dots, (over 8000) only to discover that if you leave that mode you have to start again - be warned, if you start 'gravity' only play that mode for the next week, which really should be said up front. Also was planning to just give direct feedback cos I'm assuming that it's a bug but I can't see anywhere in app to give direct comments if something is wrong. Up til now, I've really liked it, found it very addictive..Version: 1.9

NahI love dots but when I go to buy things, it either doesn’t buy it or it takes forever and then takes my points. I can’t buy themes either and I think it’s just rigged and another game to get your money.Version: 2.4.7

Disappointing updateI used to love this app but after updating it, all the text has disappeared? More than a bit frustrating.Version: 2.2

App isn't workingHey guys, love your game, however I updated the version and it's not working any more... Every time I open the app it just goes to a white screen. Hope you can give me some advice on this.Version: 2.2

Fix itAlways used to play this game. Then the update came and now it's unplayable?? Definitely deleting.Version: 2.2

Fun for 10 minutesAs the title says, the fun wears off after about 10 minutes. I don't like that how well you do depends largely on what dots you get (too much luck involved). Also, it's frustrating when you don't quite complete a square properly - it should do it for you when you obviously have a square and join all the dots, but don't close the shape. The power-ups detract a bit from the game - I think it would be better without them..Version: 1.7.1

AwesomenessVery fun and I play it for hours but I would love it if the developers would add levels for you to beat so it would get harder (love the design don't change a thing!) (if changes come I will give 5 stars and definitely recommend it to lots ).Version: 1.5.2

Good conceptIt's a nice simple game, quick and responsive. Pretty much the only thing I would add would be an infinite mode that doesn't affect the one minute high scores or dot count, but just lets you play and play as long as you want. Often it starts to get fun just as the timer runs out.Version: 1.5.2

Well it was a really good gameUntil the latest update, this used to be my favourite game on my phone. I was forever playing it, and I would've recommended it to pretty much anyone. Now, the latest update doesn't show any text on the buttons which you click to go into different sorts of game modes, design & themes. This is super frustrating, as you can't tell what's what at all. And I know loads of people are having this issue too. Anyway, after a lot of frustration trying to fix this problem, I decided this: Maybe, if I delete the game & re-download it, it should run smoothly? All the buttons showing and everything, and the benefits of what I thought was a good update? Well, I warn you. Don't delete this game! You'll never be able to load it up again, at least not fully. Sure, it shows the black screen with 'DOTS' displayed, and seems to work when It moves onto the white screen where you expect it to load up. It doesn't load up, it just gets STUCK! This is so frustrating! I loved this game too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because it is a good game, but doesn't even work anymore . I wouldn't download this until it's been fixed! UPDATE: I recently got a new phone, and just downloaded dots again, and it's working! Thanks for fixing it!.Version: 2.2.2

Won’t open!!I download and open the app and i get stuck on the home screen for ages and the game never opens!!!.Version: 2.4.7

Downloaded and deleted within a dayIt's fun for awhile but the timed version goes too quick and to play endless you have to pay for it which doesn't make sense as it's about the only thing that costs money. It looses it appeal very quick download and deleted within a day not worth purchasing anything in app..Version: 2.2.2

SetupThis game is ok but has issues: Whenever you buy dot poppers with points, you have to leave game to enter a menu but when you come back to the game the dots are mysteriously moved around And the randomizer isn't so randomized. Every time you want a rematch the same pattern shows up over and over again if you rematch more than once in the same game. This can either help you or kill you depending on whatever pleases the app at that moment. The only thing random about it is it’s bias..Version: 2.4.7

New updateLoved this app so much, was definitely my favourite. Awesome to waste time in a good way! However the new update that I installed (2.2) is not impressive at all! It lags when a square is complete and the bouncing of the dots makes the game a lot slower. It's incredibly frustrating to play now.Version: 2.2

Fix downloadUseless download; wouldn't open to game, only opened to blank white screen.Version: 2.2

Love it but NOT the SymbolsI love this game but the new symbols on the dots kill me! It's an amazing I can't concentrate on the colours anymore pls fix this and make symbol-less dots an option!!!!.Version: 2.2.2

Gravity mode failure :(I absolutely love and am addicted to this game but i was in the middle of playing the gravity mode and i had 50,000 dots and then my phone died. When i came back to play a few hours later I only had 27,000 dots! Very upsetting..Version: 1.9

KsgkbattLike the game, but gate the big dots, give us back the option to size as we prefer.Version: 2.2

Eye CandyAlmost every review here request an "UNTIMED MODE", but to no avail. This would be a charming little app if it gave you the option of different modes. Most specifically an untimed mode. But as it offers no options (only 60 Seconds), its very limited and simply irritating. Search the word 'DOTS' in the App Store and you will find at least a dozen identical games. Disappointing, especially considering how very simple it would be to include this option..Version: 1.7.1

HORRIBLE !Do not play this game ! If you reach their highest score they will not acknowledge you for your hard work. I reached a high score of 5,478! next day I go to the app and try to beat my score again , it claims to be at only 1,446! I'm not sure if it's because they do not want to let me win or if it's something else ! fix this issue please, thank you..Version: 2.3.5

:(Won't let me go past the 10,000 dots have been added to your account. i press the 'got it' button and it just come up again and again. have deleted it and downloaded three or four times but it's still doing it :(.Version: 1.7.1

Can't playWas a great game but I updated it and now all I get is a white screen :(.Version: 2.2

Really good!I’ve not had it for long but it’s really good and addictive Thanks for the awesome game!.Version: 2.4.7

Tired of ads going blackSo you’re supposed to get free lives or boxes when you watch an ad. But most of them end with a black screen instead of giving you your reward. I’ve deleted this game before for similar reasons. I will do that again..Version: 2.4.7

Funky visionThis game is cool, until i go check my messages and the font and everything looks different for a couple of minutes... Not sure why this happens but its still a cool app and recommend it.Version: 1.5.2

DisappointedSince the update on July 1st this game lags like I've never seen before...it is not longer fun to play. I should not have updated it =(.Version: 2.2

Very sad that since the update I can longer play the game 😢I used to play this game for hours; however I cannot any more and I have no idea why 😕 Since the update I couldn't see the tabs and it was a laborious task just to play one game and you couldn't tell how many goes you had left, your score etc....; however now all I see is a white screen and no matter what I do or how many times I tap my screen all I get is a white screen. I've deleted the game from my phone now as its pointless being I my phone. I'm hopeful that another developer devises the same type of game so I can download that and won't have to mourn this game any more 😭 Before that and just after the update.Version: 2.2

IPad mini = min dotsLoved playing this on my ipad mini in 2x before this version. Now it is same size as iPhone version, but due to larger screen, it just does not feel right. Even if it the board size and dots were somewhere in between it would be much better. Now it's not as fun. It's the only game I have that I actually play! Not sure how I would feel about the game if I had never been able to play it in 2x mode though… I still love it on my phone, just not at all on ipad, anymore..Version: 1.7

Greedy, in-app money-grabbing – deletedIn-app purchases make me feel so negatively towards developers that it's become a deal breaker for me. To me, the in-app purchasing model feels like a violation, as they most often occur when I feel I've invested my time and emotion in an app, only to be suddenly faced by a developer effectively extorting money from me to continue. This creates an incredibly negative relationship with the app (and developer) in my mind — I feel like I'm being mugged! If you're going to charge me for an app, charge me up front. These in-app 'stealth charges' feel somehow unfair, and they now lead me to delete the app — which I have now done with this app. I think there will be diminishing returns from this way of monetising apps, as users begin to rebel against such an obnoxious business model..Version: 1.9.1

Too much has changedI played this game a couple years ai and it has changed drastically. I miss when you used to play different levels. Why did you take levels away?! Now it’s just a simple play a timer/movers. That’s annoying..Version: 2.4.7

Quick funA fun little game, unfortunately over too quickly. 60 seconds is all you get. no explanation of the scoring system, which gets a little confusing. Has only kept my interest for a few days..Version: 1.5.2

UpdateDislike the new update. Liked having the large dots on the iPad, wish u wouldn't have updated all versions at the same time. I want my big dots back. Undos update.Version: 1.7

Destroyed by Exploitative UpdateI was a major advocate for this game. I placed on the global leaderboard, wrote a popular strategy guide and encouraged people to play it whenever I could. Unfortunately, it has been ruined by an exploitative update that empties your wallet and delivers misery rather than fun. I now avoid it and advise you to do the same. Each game lasts 60 seconds and your aim each time is to improve on your highest score. Come close to it though - as you will in one game in three - and you'll have to pay 99c or 69p. Fail to cough up and your game is cut short, ensuring you will never improve on your score. So lose 99c every 3 minutes, or just don't play at all..Version: 2.0

Good game, but dropped the ball on the iPad version...The game its self is very fun, I spent a lot of time playing the game, but the recently released iPad version is not good. The screen that would usually be black around the outside of an emulated iPhone app on has simply been filled in with white. This is not good and the dots are far too small given the space available, I preferred running the iPhone version with the screen zoomed in..Version: 1.7

Accidentally deleted, now won’t redownloadI actually enjoy this game—the only one I’ve ever kept on my phone—I’m not typically a person who plays game apps at all as I’m never bored enough/have any free time to actually play (games on my phone). Accidentally deleted it and now it won’t redownload for some reason....Version: 2.4.7

Game is brokenAll I get is a blank screen, no matter how many times I reinstall. Please fix your game!.Version: 2.2

Bring back the smaller dots!The new big dots are occupying too much board space and reducing/slowing down your scoring ability. Nice and clean to look at, but give me back the older version!.Version: 2.2

White screen?!Ever since the latest update, all I get is a full white screen whenever I open the game. :( Please fix this!.Version: 2.2

It's just not the same anymoreWhile I appreciate the speedy update meant to address the negative feedback stemming from the 01-July update, the most recent update represents a marginal improvement, at best. The game is still broken at its core -- a core, moreover, that was perfect the way it was. This game went from being my favourite diversion to being a frustrating exercise in futility. Please, revert back to the pre-July 01 build of the game. As it stands, it's still laggy; it's still unnecessarily oversized; but most important of all, it's just not fun anymore..Version: 2.2.2

CrashI just completed expedition to base camp 3 and for my reward I still got on completion that I reached base camp 2 only where is my final reward for reaching base camp 3 come guys get this glitch sorted.Version: 2.3.5

Used to love itPlay this a lot. Got up in the 750s levels with the introduction of the clouds and it seems nearly impossible. I was slowly making my way through, I refuse to pay to play, and I’ve decided I’m done. It’s frustratingly difficult and no longer fun. It used to be though so thanks for that. Bye now 👋.Version: 2.4.7

Where's the smaller dots option?!?The new update for iPad only has the full screen setting, which is unplayable because it requires a full range of arm motion instead of merely a finger. This app is now useless..Version: 2.2
