New Version is HORRIBLE - Please fix!
seriously_JSJ
I made the mistake of downloading the new version and wish I never did. The new green color is horrible - it's so dark and dreary. Second, the game has so many bugs that I don't want to play it anymore(I'm seriously thinking of deleting it). Two bugs I found in Pattern so far: the numbers don't line up with the boxes; I solved the puzzle but the game won't stop. I have to hit solve and it's the same thing I had. Please fix the bugs and rethink the colors so I can go back to playing with the games I enjoy.
Terrible

This new update is horrible. I've played this game daily for a long time but hate it now. There are many bugs in several games. I hate the pictures and you can no longer tell if you've played the web challenges which is one of the better parts. I'd give negative stars if I could. I've talked several people into buying this game but today I told a friend not to waste their money. In fact, I'd like my money back if things aren't improved for the better this time!!!!!
I'm shocked

What a shock after recently upgrading all my Apps, to find my most consistently enjoyable games turn into something so frustrating and unpleasant to use. The green/black motif is hard to see. Major bugs with Pattens has already been mentioned in another post.
Thank You!

1st of all, this is by far one of my favorite games, so thanks a lot! I'm looking forward to the update to see what's new. There is several bugs I have noticed though, and I thought I would let you know (not complaining, trust me) so you can make your product even better. Here is my list: -Blackbox: the instructions could be updated. It was the first time I played it, and I actually had to google it to figure out how to play.. very fun once I got it though. -Map: method of playing could use some work, maybe use an interface similar to Sudoku and Unequal with the four colors popping up when you click on a piece? Maybe even adding in a 5-color difficulty because I have beaten it many times on the six star level. -Mastermind (Guess): the green and white pegs illustrating if my choices are correct don't match up with the answer key. Couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting anywhere with the pegs on one game, until the answer came out and it had nothing to do with the pegs. -Pattern: many times, it won't register that a black or white piece is placed, so after you finish a puzzle, sometimes you have to hit undo and refill in the ones that didn't register (sometimes 7 or 8 spots!). Also, when I just start a game, sometimes some of the grid is missing on the bottom and right side. Other problems that involve all of the games: -sometimes the buttons on the top switch when my finger is no where near them, like from flag to select on Mines (which usually makes me lose) -after playing some player challenges, the difficulties are messed up when I go back to the offline games, and sometimes the 'New' and 'Web Challenge' buttons are unclickable, but going back and restarting that specific game fixes that problem -it has crashed or gets slow occasionally from time to time, but a restart of the ipod usually fixes this problem -the larger puzzles sometimes stall and have crashed Thank you for your time! I posted this on your website as well. Thanks for the game!
DON'T INSTALL UPDATE!
His Impishness
One of my favorites has been ruined by the recent update. Can't believe that the zoom function has been removed altogether, and the new graphics scheme is simply awful. Is there anyway to "downdate" to the previous version? M. Minard, please help us!
Still my favourite app

The 3.0 update has some issues, but I believe he has addressed most if not all of them with 3.1.
Awesome 'cept themes
muppetjones
Amazing app. The original theme was less than ideal. The green theme is stunning. I love it, only it can get pretty hard for colorblind people. The new original theme is even worse though. The look isn't as smooth and the colors are a nightmare. Such an amazing app otherwise.
Major problem with the new version*

The latest version (where everything is green) dropped the button to "pencil in" possible numbers in the Sudoku and Unequal games. I certainly can't beat those games without it. Bring back the button and it's back up to 5 stars. *3.1 fixed all the problems I had with it. Great app again!
A masterpiece of classic puzzling
01 Binar
This app is a masterpiece. Each puzzle is a creative, well-crafted gem that could easily stand on its own. Having all 20 packaged together in this low-cost bundle is a gift. Many of the puzzles are familiar classics, but several are original delights (new to me anyway). The user interfaces are clean, multiple difficulty and board-size options are provided with each puzzle, and the bundled instructions are both clear and elegantly brief. Bravo and Thank You to the developer!
