8 of 15DO NOT GET THIS STUPID GAME I THOUGHT “oh this looks like a fun game to play” AND GOT THE 3$ THEN DOWNLOADED IT AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO PLAY IT AND TO MY SURPRISE IT IMMEDIATELY CRASHED LIKE I HEARD THE MUSIC FOR HALF A SECOND AND THEN BOOM IT CRASHES IF I COULD DO 0 STAR I WOULD BECAUSE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY DO NOT DOWNLOAD DO NOT RECOMMEND BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THE REVIEWS BEFORE DOWNLOADING THIS STUPID PIECE OF CRAP!
Downloaded the game to my iPad. As soon as I try to open the app, it crashes. Have yet to be able to get into the game. Tried going through app support & wont let me send my request. Don’t buy. Not worth the money. Will dispute the charge with iTunes.
Crashes before it ever opens. Useless app, because I couldn’t USE this APP any LESS than I do. Thievery! And shame on iTunes for forcing reviewers to give a minimum of 1 star, when clearly it’s a Zero star performance!!
Love the game, but needs fixing. Ran into a bug with the rulers and can't find a fix
The rulers are glitching and don’t turn properly. Makes the levels impossible to complete. The game was fun otherwise. But you can’t pass ruler levels with how they spasm out.
I just wanna play the frickin game it flashes the game maker then the app crashes tried without mobile data and Wi-Fi then alternated between one another and it still won’t work. I paid 3.00$ for a flashing screen😭 please help!
The game can’t be played anymore on newer devices. Crashes upon opening
Crashes all the time on iPhone XS Max and iPad 11” pro
