    Ouch. I shall never complain about my requests again. I hope you at least get some ad revenue to ease the pain.

    This won't be a popular post, but it's my opinion
    I think this app is the most overrated app I've played maybe ever.

    The UI is boring. There was a real opportunity to make the game look elegant and modern.
    Instead it looks...drab and lazy (The icon is just as bad).

    The sounds are annoying. Seriously.

    The game gets old very quick.

    I usually love number/word puzzle games.
    I've loved all the other games these guys have been involved with.

    This one...I just can't seem to like, much less love.

    There should at least be another gameplay mode - whether multiplayer, or possibly a mode where you can move single rows or tiles. Something else.

    3/5
    That's being generous.

    The game is mute on iPad 3 again, but I don't feel like resetting iOS once more.

    Wow. Well, I've been on the fence about this game and now I think this post may have made my mind up. I'm way more of a word person than numbers/math, so I wondered if Threes would hold such a spell over me as the many five star reviewer (including Eli and TA). LK and I share many similar tastes in gaming and so I think I'll be content with Spell Quest for for now. Thanks for your opinions and thoughts :)

    It's a decent puzzler. Lots of strategy on moving.

    I think I lucked out with my first game and scored 7923. I haven't had a 384 tile since then, though I've had a 192 in two other games after it.

    As an Art Director at a London advertising agency, it is my opinion, that your opinion on the games look is utter nonsense!

    This is one of the most beautifully designed game I have seen and the app icon is as slick as a seals back!

    Spellquest is so amazing. It's hard to quit.

    As a marketing major I can tell you that icon won't be turning any heads. How is a plain, boring white UI "beautifully designed"?

    This could have been such a great iOS7 flat designed app. Instead it looks clunky and outdated.

    Not everyone has to like the appearance, or even like the game, everyone is entitled to their own views, I think it's a bit unfair to say his opinion is nonesense. You may be an art directer but it doesn't make your opinion any more valid than lazer kats.

    This. I respect Lazer's opinion but I think the game is beautiful, including the icon. :)

    Sorry if this has already been asked but is there an indicater was to which row or column the next tile will appear? just when I think I have it sussed and plan my move the next tile appears somewhere else.

    I'm gonna split the difference here.

    The icon looks like a pre-school "Learn French" app to me, but I love the look and sound of the game.

    LOL! Fair play. At least this opinion is based on reason!

    Look at Puzzlejuice's UI and then at Threes'!

    One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong.
    One is beautiful. One is minimal done right. One of them has a slick icon. The other is threes!

    Well, there are around 100th posts saying the exact opposite... and besides, who cares about the look and sound (although I like it very much) when the gameplay is so amazing?

    That happened on my iPhone, but only the first time I started the app. I removed the game from the task bar and started it again and it's been fine since.

    I agree completely.
    The gameplay is very important, and my opinion is the minority.
