Reviews
Sexist content
majorg18
Was excited to try this because I love logic puzzles and wanted to introduce them to my son. We got stuck on the second one and when we looked at the solution it was due to the fact that the author wanted us to assume that a heavy machine operator was a job that could only be held by a man. I find that incredibly sexist. I was interested in several of the critical thinking products for my sons but will no longer consider them.
Each have two jobs
Sticky bomb??
If Roberta went golfing with the police officer and the chef but Steve is the police officer and the nurse but it says that the nurse was assigned desk duty after spraining an ankle that means they he wouldn’t be able to go golfing cause he would have to stay if his foot for a few days before being able to walk on a boot? Also wouldn’t Vince not be able to be a heavy equipment operator if he only went to school till ninth grade and learned nothing else?
I Think it’s Great!

I read the previous review and was a bit skeptical that this was a good app for people like me who like puzzles and riddles because of the fact it was said that this app didn’t work. But I myself am actually 12 years old and love it! I really think if you enjoy a challenge you would enjoy this app! But I would like to quickly mention that you need to purchase the full version to do all the puzzles
Won't work

I did these as a child and now wanted to introduce them to my kids and my students. I found the app so I thought I'd see how it worked but I can't get it to select anything in the menu. The choices are a bit small even on my iPhone 7 plus, but something should work besides the user ID.
