Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles for Negative User Reviews

✓ Terribly worded puzzlesAfter completing all of the free puzzles in a similar game, it recommended I download this one and at first glance the two apps are identical, so I imagine they’re made by the same folks. I thought I’d enjoy it as much as the original app I played on. I was wrong. The clues for the puzzles in this app are terribly written and worded, in my honest opinion. An example is: “Rhonda has twice as many years of experience as the one surnamed Trebble (who isn’t Tina), who has more experience than the one who plays the trumpet.” It’s still possible to figure out what they’re trying to say, but then I hit a point where my usual methods of solving seem to fail me and I feel like I’ve missed something in the poorly worded clues. When I finally lose patience and decide to use a hint, it only says “mark the highlighted square as false” but doesn’t explain why. I didn’t need to use hints in the other app except I think maybe one or two times when I was first starting to play, but from what I recall the hints explain why you are marking a square a certain way. I don’t want you to just give me the answer with no explanation, I want you to explain what I missed..CheesygVersion: 4.6.11

✓ Fun until it”s notPuzzles progress quickly from moderate to extremely difficult. I can’t figure out how they arrived at some of the hints. Wish the clue(s) would highlight so I could understand where the hint comes from. That might improve my strategy..ProudMathGeekVersion: 4.6.9

✓ Just okAt first it’s pretty good and fun. But I have found at least 3 puzzles that are 100% correct, where it says there are errors! I have done each one at least 5 times. I have double checked every move numerous times. There are NO errors, but the app says there are, and I can’t finish the puzzle! Very frustrating!.Just an old kidVersion: 4.7.1

✓ Hate the recent changesI really dislike the recent changes. Where has the nighttime setting gone? Will probably stop using now. Edit - I appreciate your response. Glad to hear nighttime setting will be reinstated. I really miss it!.CGri5Version: 2.0.11

✓ Big conDownloaded this game, played the games that were available (9) then if I wanted more games I had to pay for them!!! Will be deleting the app now..StagsbraeVersion: 4.6.7

✓ Mixed bag—Hard to Medium to ImpossibleI really enjoy a lot of the puzzles and have purchased at least 3 sets. My frustration is that I never can tell how hard or easy a puzzle is going to be. I wish they had a rating system. I have learned certain authors to avoid. Not that they are bad, I just don’t have the advanced degree it must take for some..DotshellVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Hints are randomLove the layout and way the app works except where using hints - they are completely random and do not lend any explanation as to why that selection was made / how you would have got there yourself which doesn’t allow me to learn where I may be going wrong or getting stuck.CSpckVersion: 4.7.1

✓ Poorly written puzzlesThe narratives are incredibly long and wordy, the clues often contain wildly irrelevant information and in addition inaccurate or just incorrect information. Example - referring to a names in the puzzle incorrectly (Harvey but the clues say Harmon) Example - puzzle with wordy clues describing the # of city blocks people are away from each other when the actual puzzle doesn’t contain any requirements for figuring out distance. I just completed every puzzle on another app from this same company, including the extreme ones, yet couldn’t even get through one on this app without banging my head in frustration at the lack of attention to detail..ClovonneptVersion: 4.6.9

✓ Poorly written clues, frustrating rather than funI really enjoy logic puzzles but this one is frustrating rather than fun. The clues are written very poorly and if you dare to use a hint all it tells you is which square to mark true or false, it doesn’t tell you why or which clue it is helping to you solve, and so doesn’t help you understand the clues or rationing behind it. The clues are written in a very confusing way and each one is long so you end up reading it a few times making the puzzle slow rather than fun.StaceF1234Version: 4.7.1

✓ Stick to pen and paperThe squares on the phone are way too tiny to tap. You’re very likely to miss, or tap like 3 times in order to clear the rows and columns. Obviously they don’t use the app. They just want you to keep paying. It must be better on the iPad (with the pencil of course). It was something I wanted to try but obviously I’m going to avoid..Musiclvr58Version: 4.6.9

✓ I like the puzzle, app isn’t suitable for phonesThe puzzles are fun, but it’s hard to select the right box, it automatically puts an x, so you have to be careful that you have the right space and hopefully check it twice if you want to mark it correct. Easy on an iPad but the spaces are so small that on the phone you almost always hit the wrong space and have to back track to fix. It would be much better if you selected a space then chose the action..Jnv2245Version: 4.6.9

✓ AverageComplex puzzles are great. But not when you word the clues in a deliberately confusing way..MannyTiwanaVersion: 4.6.11

✓ HintsIt would be helpful to have an explanation as to why you should mark something as “true” or “false” when you use a hint/suggest a move. Sometimes I need a hint because I really have no idea and it’s still not clear why something is true or false after the hint. Also more puzzles would be good. I downloaded this 3 days ago and am already done with all the puzzles..CreativeKristiVersion: 4.6.11

✓ Updated program uselessThe sizing makes it impossible to move the puzzle around without it adding “x” s where you do not want them. There is no restart button when 5 or 6 marks have been added unnecessarily while attempting to shift the game to see one side or the other. Ready to delete it and go back to paper ones. The early version was more user friendly..DoubleddownVersion: 2.0.7

✓ Not as good as the original appDownloaded this app when I completed the original Logic Puzzles app. This one, unfortunately, does not live up to the original. They’ve replaced “hard” with “left out clues to make them difficult”. When finally, I click on hints to see what I’m missing, I find I’m not missing anything, and it just tells me to mark random squares false until the puzzle is solvable. As opposed to the original where there is actual logical explanations for the hints. I would avoid this app unless they fix it..Clark Clark ClarkVersion: 4.6.11

✓ Needs workThe puzzles were authored by different people. Some were good. There were two that came to a dead end with no clue to proceed, and there was one with an actual clue error..Smarter?Version: 1.12.12

✓ Clues don’t make senseI’ve played thousands of logic puzzles and the clues here don’t make sense. In one puzzle, it discusses cars parked a couple blocks from each other to the north and east, but it doesn’t fit in with the puzzles because there are no distance puzzles to solve. Also, when you suggest a move, it doesn’t give you an additional explanation, it just says what to mark as false. Disappointed..KeanziVersion: 4.6.11

✓ DisappointedThis was my favorite logics puzzle to play. The old way was way better and more user friendly a 4.8 star rating in my opinion. (-.2 for font size of some puzzles which was the only problem)I’ve bought a good few packs that i reuse constantly and would have purchased more but now I'm feeling my money was wasted, i don't wanna use it anymore and no other apps that I've tried even compared to the previous version. Would be nice if we had the option to keep the update or restore to previous version, until then.... so long 😩.HdkdkagfnsVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Clues missingSome of the puzzles have clues missing, which leaves the answers indeterminate. Checking against the official answers given, some assert a piece of information is due to a given clue, which does not contain that information. Leads to frustration when you come up with a solution that satisfies all the given clues, but it’s still rejected..John ArmstrongVersion: 4.4.4

✓ Extreme PuzzlesI was significantly happier with this app, at first. It all changed when I started adding puzzles to my account for the additional “extreme” level puzzles and realized they are just the same “challenging” puzzles from their other logic puzzle apps. Those of us that play on these levels know these puzzles by heart. We’ve solved them countless times in the past. Please source NEWLY written puzzles and stop recycling from your other apps under different difficulties..AhollimanVersion: 4.7.1

✓ Not as logical as you would hope. ConfusingThe logic clues do not relate to the actual puzzle that you attempt. Eg. It talks about Saturdays on two different weeks yet the puzzle has rows pertaining to first second third fourth and fifth. There are no references to week days in the rows or columns. The clues only contain Friday Weds and the fact there are two Fridays and Saturdays. No idea what is in the mind of the person who set the puzzle and how the week days that are mentioned correlate to the first second third etc. It is very confusing. Since this is a major flaw in the puzzles it takes away from the positive points in that the text reflects the font size of the device and it incorporates dark mode very nicely. Unfortunately these positives are not enough to make it good..JustNicksVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Poorly written puzzlesDeleting this. Would be fun if the Logic puzzles were, well, logical! These types of puzzles have to be carefully written and double checked to provide clues and make sense with each other and the story. That is literally the basis for it. So why on one game where you have to figure out where all the cats nap in their owners home, how old they are and how long he’s had them does the story say he hasn’t owned any cats for longer than they’ve been alive, but the age of starts at 3yrs old while the categories in the grid allow for him to have owned some of the cats for only 1 or 2 years? This is just an exercise in frustration when the information being provided has not been double and triple checked for accuracy! You’re supposed to be able to rely on the information being provided, not have to wonder if it’s wrong. The point isn’t to trick people into failing with half-truths. Anyone who’s ever taken the LSAT knows how well properly and infallibly written these games can and need to be to solve them..BklynSprngWtrVersion: 4.4.4

✓ Better but notI like the second level of complexity with the clues and more than one group being ranked makes you think harder. But when it is harder the hints give you no explanation just a “mark this one” instruction with no clarification of why..Yeldarb2010Version: 4.6.11

✓ No explanations for hintsThese problems are certainly challenging, however the opportunity to learn and improve logical reasoning skills is limited. unlike in the logic puzzles app by the same developer, this one does not provide guidance with the hints; the hints just tell you what to do in a cell without a rationale that you can learn strategy from. at some point, most people will hit a wall no matter how much they try to figure out why a move is warranted beyond the ones they reason through on their own. in my case, i felt helpless and abandoned the puzzle and, eventually, the app as a whole, because i had hit a point of diminishing returns — which is a shame because i was reallyyyy enjoying the greater challenge these puzzles pose over the logic puzzles app. this one also offers fewer puzzles in the free starter pack. would love to see some updates!.I'll Be FameISHVersion: 4.6.11

✓ Uninstalling this poor puzzle appIn order to solve half of the puzzles you must guess. There is insufficient information within the clues. Even the hint system says nothing more can be deduced via logic. Uninstalling.BigminimusVersion: 1.12.12

✓ Decent With Unnecessarily Complex StoriesThe matrices don’t get any larger that 4x5 but they still have an interesting level of challenge to them. The last few puzzles’ storylines get unnecessarily complex. And just read confusing. Re: I’ve actually played and finished the entire sister app and the additional puzzles that you can purchase on the app. My issue is not with complexity, it’s with the unnecessarily convoluted wording that doesn’t add anything to the actual puzzle..Gappy LionVersion: 4.7.1

✓ Not enough cluesYou need multiple (15-20) hints to be able to solve the harder puzzles. Impossible to solve otherwise..Miyoshi74Version: 4.4.4

✓ Bought Vol 1 and wish I hadn’t.These puzzles are not well written. Look elsewhere. The writing is clumsy and can seem unclear More importantly, there is a lot of incorrect or broken information in the clues and hints. Every puzzle I’ve worked in Vol 1 so far will get down to a couple of options which would both fit the available spaces left, and all of the clues given. Three times now, I’ve tried using a hint in this situation, and had the same experience: a vague statement that “the green cells indicate the highlighted cell should be marked false”, with no observable logical relationship for that assertion and no further explanation provided. I go with what it says anyway and proceed to finish the puzzle, and it gives the message about being finished, but there are still some mistakes. I use the hint that removes mistakes, and all the final moves - INCLUDING the one directly stated in the previous hint - are cleared..ThegreatmandaVersion: 4.6.9

✓ Poorly written clues, hints are even worseDownloaded this from its sister app, which I loved and eased through all of their puzzles. When that app concluded, it suggested this app as a harder version or to purchase their own harder puzzles. Of course this app is “extreme” - these clues are terrible and you’re left guessing! Sometimes it names three different “people” in a clue but the “not” clue only refers to one of those people, not all of those people. Similar to: “Barry wasn't late on Thursday, which wasn’t the train”… so you’re left wondering if Barry isn’t the train as well. The wording could be slightly better to make things more clear. When you get stuck (which is often), the “hints” just tell you to mark a box as true or false without any explanation, and it’s clear that they don’t go in order - it just picks a random cell to mark as false, but it’s evident there are zero hints that would even logically lead you to that conclusion. It just told me to mark a cell as false when both the person and the day weren’t mentioned in any of the clues, and there is no supporting evidence to suggest that there any true match ups that would make another pairing false… the hints are horrible. Will not be buying additional puzzles - I’ll go back to my other logic puzzle app and will give them my money..Jgc27Version: 4.7.1

✓ PENNY DELL Logic Problems Vol.13While I find Logic Problems to be the best puzzles for me, I find the answer key to be indecipherable in many cases. The printed copies, purchased in bookstores are by far easier to comprehend. While this is rated for age 4+, good luck! I can’t understand them, and I have done cases of the past dated copies in print. It is only during Covid, that I’ve started these. They are easier to start over(not having to erase on newsprint) but when you’re looking for a clue, forget the answer key..Skip the houseworkVersion: 4.6.9

✓ Great Puzzles but Don’t Sync Across DevicesI love that Dell Puzzles finally have an app for their logic problems. The only thing missing from the app is the ability to sync amongst multiple devices. I have the app on both my iPhone and iPad but I have to skip over puzzles because the completed puzzle does not show up as completed on both devices. Likewise, it will also be great if you will also add your Logic Math problems to the app as well..Dr Vita BVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Multiple Correct AnswersI keep coming across the issue of solving the puzzle and being told I’m wrong. No matter how many times I go over it I can never find a mistake so I ask for a hint and there is an entirely different way to do it that is correct. If there are multiple correct answers at least make those answers count as correct..JmfridayVersion: 2.2.2
