Love product but needs work
ladysloop

I love all the products from The Critical Thinking Co. and was thrilled to see them available for iOS. However, the app does not work on my iPhone 7. I can get the app to work on my iPad. I would also like to see a “clear all answers” or “clear the board” option for when the puzzle needs to be restarted because of something done incorrectly.


Detailed explanations would be nice

This app has really helped my critical and logical thinking!! It's very engaging and fun! You can't rush through it--it makes you stop and reason it out. I like the hint button when I get stuck as well as the check answers button to make sure I'm on the right track. ???????


App doesn't work on iPhone

I paid for this and downloaded this but it will not run, I deleted and reloaded and still nothing. I am using iphone7. I will say that I was able to get it to successfully run on an iPad. I was disappointed that there weren't more puzzles, as I solved all of these in two evenings. For the price, I would expect at least twice as many puzzles. I find the hint feature useless. It is not helpful at all. However, the puzzles are challenging and a great way to build your logical thinking. I wish there was a clear option for that moment when you realize that somewhere your logic was flawed and you need to start over. It's a real pain to have to manually reset every box.
