Hooked on the game but
So much time is waisted on having to grab the bands over and over because they won’t stay in spots that are within reach. It’s super frustrating. It begins to feel that it’s a ploy to play ads, another ploy to exhaust you into paying to remove adds. The game itself is fun and challenging but the snapping back drove me nuts
2025-08-30
Contrast of landing spots are not visible after update.
You can’t see the landing circles anymore!! How you supposed to aim for something that you can’t really see!! Why do this? I don’t play it nearly as much due to this!
2025-08-29
Latest update
Game will not stay open since latest update. Worked ok yesterday. Has been lagging a lot. Won’t stay open today. Goes to black screen.
2025-08-29
Super glitchy
Moving the ropes around is often very glitchy. There’s no indication whether or not a rope can reach a specific spot, and very often when it does reach it bounces back three or four times before it finally clicks into the spot you’re trying to put it… which wastes a lot of the time for the level. It’s frustrating how bad the UI is.
2025-08-23
Keeps crashing
I love this game but since the latest updates it crashes right after it’s open on my iPad or iPhone. Please fix it!
2025-08-22
App crashing
Since the recent update the app keeps crashing. Have tried to delete & reinstall along with a restart of the iPad with no success.
2025-08-22
Update keeps crashing
Love this game but keeps crashing since the last update. Getting frustrated. Keep turning iPad off and on and restarting…still crashes. Please fix the problem!!!
2025-08-22
Crashing
Since update a few days ago, keeps crashing. Love it until the update.
2025-08-22
Game crashing
Loved playing this game until a couple of days ago. It shuts down every time I tried to play it. I have emailed support with no response. Guess I’ll just have to play a different rope game that doesn’t shut down on me.
2025-08-22
Constantly crashing
Level will barely load without crashing after the most recent update.
2025-08-22
I love this game until yesterday
Yesterday is started glitching where there are 3 levels to complete, when I get past level 2 the game shuts down. I have to restart only for it to repeat the shut down. So frustrating
2025-08-22
Annoyed
What is going on with the app it keeps closing out on me !!!!!!

Crashing of Twisted Tangle iPad version
I love this game, but the update is making it crash. Can’t play it anymore. I have updated my iPad and the game. Nothing works. I have a lot of coins, I have reached a high level. I refuse to give up. HELP!!
2025-08-21
Crash crash Crash
Since last week’s update, I can’t make it to the end of a single level without the game crashing out. Not fun.
2025-08-21
App crashing
App and iPad updated and app is crashing when trying to open.
Have turned iPad off and on. Doesn’t,t help.
I like the game. Have some of the same issue as others with freezing screens etc. also, throws ropes are lagging behind today causing me to loose seconds. Hope it is fixed soon.

Glitchy rope placement
I really want to like this game, but every so often (usually when you’re trying to finish a Very Hard level ☹️) the game won’t let you move any of your pieces! It acts like they’re all immobile, or caught up in too much tension when sometimes there’s NOTHING touching that piece at all! I’ll have fully untangled a knot and I’ll spend the last 30 seconds of my timer trying to move one single piece from its spot. You need to fix this as it’s absolutely infuriating. The amount of levels I’ve had completely solved and just had to uncross one last set of ropes to win and my timer has run out because I’m sitting here dragging the piece over and over and over and over again for it to keep putting the piece back in the spot where I clearly don’t want it. An absolute oversight.
2025-08-11
Not as advertised
Was advertised as no timer, well guess what , it has timed games. Not all but you can’t move on to next game without beating the clock. Not relaxing as stated.
2025-08-09
Time
The ad say this is not a timed game. IT IS. AND THEREFORE, I DON’T FIND IT FUN
2025-08-08
Same 10 levels over and over
I love this game, but for the last few weeks I have been getting the same 10 levels over and over. The new freeze block and color match levels appeared for a couple of days each and have never been offered to me again. Please fix this major issue!
2025-08-08
Wasted potential
The game has so much potential. I could play this for hours if there were no time limit or life limit. Those two constraints make the game unenjoyable. I wouldn’t mind watching ads between every level or to get extra rewards. . I downloaded the game because I thought it looked fun and relaxing. I got to level 50 and gave up.
2025-08-05
Time Feature
The timed feature is a deal breaker. Super frustrating than fun. I deleted the app forever
2025-08-04
Could have been
It’s not fun. You can’t beat levels without purchasing.
2025-08-03
My favorite
I have been playing this game for a while now. And I love the challenge.
2025-08-02
Changed the Rules after purchase
I loved this game and purchased it BEFORE they changed it to unrealistic time constraints. Doesn’t seem right to change the rules.
2025-07-31
New update
What’s with the new update? It cycles between the same boards, just different colors. Very boring. Fix and update please.
2025-07-31
Aggravating
I like playing the game but the game cheats. You place the rope where you want it but it just bounces back to where it was before. Takes several tries for it to catch and eats away at precious time. Also, you only win 30 coins at the end of a regular level, but takes 900 to extend the timer? You should be able to win at least 90 coins on regular levels.
2025-07-30
Stage Levels are Ridiculous
Great concept and graphics. However, staged levels are miserable. Almost impossible to move from a level without spending money. Even when you do, the levels are still extremely difficult. Unless that is addressed, no longer interested…
2025-07-25
Please make no timer an option
I used to love this game and then it added the timer. Please make it optional. This game used to be relaxing now it’s stressful.
2025-07-25
Frustrated
I used to enjoy this game but I’ve been stuck on the same level for months. It’s impossible to win any boosters for help and your lives run out fast on a difficult level. I’m over it. Moving on to another game.
2025-07-20
Money, Money, Money
I’ve advanced to level 185 without any purchased items and that is a FEAT with All the time limits and hardy any (if any) extra tools to use on harder levels.
Now the fun of this game is gone!!!! I’m getting stuck more often on levels that seem to require purchases to get the extra tools (scissors , extra time, etc) necessary needed to advance forward. Their access to earning more free rewards is pathetic!!! It is all about paying money to get the tools needed to advance in this game. Sad!
2025-07-17
Too fast
When the levels are really hard it’s cuz they only give us 50 seconds
2025-07-16
Too hard
I really liked this game, but at level 89 it just doesn’t give you the time needed to complete the puzzle. I’ll probably have to delete this app from my phone.
2025-07-16
Resume
Want let you update to the new version
2025-07-16
Same boards over and over
I really like this game. I am somewhere in the 3000s there are new boards. The levels cycle through maybe a few hundred boards and then repeat. It wasn’t as noticeable on the easier levels. But after playing some of the really hard ones multiple times to complete it, you realize, hey I’ve played this already. Sometimes the ropes are different colors but the boards are the same. This would be a five star app that weren’t true
2025-07-15
Mind sharpening
So far it’s simple well created and I can see where it’s heading. I think by the time they get to the higher levels it will definitely be one of my best games one of my favorites. I recommend you place.
2025-07-11
Fun but not.
I thought that this was super fun until about level 20 when everything changed. It became harder and harder on easy levels too!
2025-07-04
Daily rewards
Seems I can get my days 1-6 rewards but it locks up on day 7 and I can’t earn points. This makes it difficult to advance.
2025-07-02

Fun

Relax mode?
Would you be open to making an untimed/relax mode version?
2025-06-27
Do better
It’s ok I have seen better games so kinda my style of game 😡
2025-06-23
Player
I loved playing this until I played in the gold level and the ropes didn't stick! They kept bouncing back! I even played extra time and they would not stay where I put them! This part of the game makes me dislike it! So I won't be playing anymore! Too many games out there to be stuck playing one that doesn't work!!
2025-06-20
Buggy Now
I’ve been playing this a long time and have completed a genuinely disturbing number of levels. But lately it’s freezing on me frequently. Particularly I hit the shuffle button. Will not work again till it’s crashed and that means losing the game and losing the power ups of multiple wins. Annoying. Guess I need to find a new way to waste time.
2025-06-19
Timer
This game is fine. I needed something simple to relax. I chose it because the ads said NO TIMER. This is untrue.
2025-06-18
Ads are not ready
Fix the ads. They are not ready so I lose out on half the coins
2025-06-15
Good
Glitchy
2025-06-08
Level 1 2 3 4 easy
Level 123 and four was easy but the fifth one is harder
2025-06-06
Okay game could be better
While I enjoy the game my dislike is that lives take much longer to reload when the app is closed. After running out of lives when I return to the game one hour+. There is only one life available. Also dislike that if you are trying to beat the timer the screen disappears and before you know it you have hit the button to extend the game for coins. There is no option to confirm using the coins.
2025-06-03
Glitches Make The Game Too Frustrating
This was once one of my favorite games until the glitches show up. That happens any time I open the app now… it won’t start with all the lives even though it has been hours since my last play. The timer gets buggy and freezes often, freezing gameplay. The rope physics are inconsistent, so learning how the game plays is pointless. 3 stars because I enjoyed it, missing the last 2 stars because of the bugs. If it keeps up, I’ll downgrade my rating and delete.
2025-05-29
Commercials, commercials and more commercials!’
Loose them, 3-5 minutes between levels of this game, detracts from the relaxing for them game. Loose them!!
2025-05-06
I would pay $ for an untimed version
I got this game after seeing it in an ad. It seemed like a relaxing game to ease the mind, so I downloaded it. I was bummed to see the game is timed. It’s kind of relaxing at first when it’s easy and there’s plenty of time, but as the game progresses it simply becomes stressful and frustrating and makes me want to just delete it. If there were an option for a relax mode, I would definitely pay money for that, and it would undoubtedly be one of my favorite apps to pass the time or wind down at the end of the day. But due to the timer, I rarely want to ever open this app. I think this company is missing out on a great money making opportunity by not offering an untimed option. I’m sure I’m sure the majority of people looking for an untangling game would buy that option, and use the app much more. Give the people what they want!
So if you’re in the mood to play a fun detangling game that eventually makes you feel almost more stressed and anxious than your real-life troubles, then I guess this is the game for you.
2025-04-17
It went from fun to expensive
This used to be a very fun game. The puzzles were easy and only challenging when they had to be. You used to be able to have to watch a ad to get more time, or watch an ad to get more tokens, or watching ad to get some boosters.
But recently they got rid of everything that made this game fun. There are no more daily rewards, there are no more ads to extend the game if you run out of time, and there are no more challenges to try to win more rewards.
Plus the amount of coins that you win after a game is only 30. It cost 900 coins to keep the game going if you run out of time. Which means you have to play 30 games just to get enough coins to extend one game for a couple of seconds and buy a couple of seconds I mean 20 seconds. This game is no longer fun. It no longer makes me want to play. All this game does is beg for more money. I can deal with the ads here and there. But I can’t deal with the fact that all it ask for is money. This game is basically a hole in the pocket. If you download this game, I hope you have a lot of money cause that is what’s gonna take to advance.

Edited 2/9/25, from 2 stars to 4 [Great game until they screw you]
As of 2/9/25, I’ve changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars because the issues I mentioned previously have been corrected, and this game is super fun and addictive again. I really hope it stays that way!!
[[Original review: I loved this game until it became clear they hadn’t planned new levels past 900 or so…first, you keep getting the same 3 or 4 over and over. Then they set you up to fail and strip you from every reward and amount of coins you’ve built up because they’re lazy and don’t want to make legit new levels, so sure, just lower the amount of time given so it’s humanly impossible to beat a level without super power ups. Oh, and hey, we’re also gonna stop giving you any reward/tool as well, because it’s easier to strip the most loyal players of everything they have than to honor them by keeping the game up, even if it’s past level 1000. I’m at 1006, and it’s not even fun anymore. Thanks for being SUPER SHADY and screwing over your most loyal players!!]]

Fun game but glitchy ads
I paid to have the ads removed from this game but I still click on ads to double the rewards. Many times the ads get locked up so not only do I watch the ad for longer (especially annoying when I’m in the free play for 15 minutes), but I don’t get the reward AT ALL… not even the original reward. I have to close the game to get it away from the ad. I contacted support twice to alert them of the problem and no one answered. Considering it takes 900 coins to buy extra time and as I am on the higher levels, it takes multiple time to get through one level, I need all the coins I can get. I have purchased the golden ticket and the unlimited play for an hour from time to time, so this game is not free to me. Additionally, I started playing on my iPad to see if the game was easier when I have a bigger screen (it is). I noticed that when I got to a certain level (somewhere passed 450) on my phone, the levels now require me to get through 3 screens of tangles per level. It is nearly impossible to do without extra time even after playing it multiple times. On my iPad, I am on level 529 and have yet to see a 3 tiered level. Why would it be different on each device?
2024-08-20
This USED to be a really fun game
A few months ago, significant changes were made to the gameplay experience. Overall, they made the game more exciting and challenging. However, they have also made the boards nearly un-winnable.
I was somewhere around level 526 when the changes were made. I had over 15k coins, which were all taken away in exchange for a few boosters. Those boosters were consumed in short order trying to pass the super hard levels. Unfortunately, it’s extremely difficult to earn additional coins, and later boards only offer about a minute of gameplay. Even if you know how to untangle the ropes, that will only be a fraction of the time it takes. The booster packages mostly include coins (which will be quickly burned through at 900 coins for the first 30 seconds, and 1900 coins for additional time beyond that). Scissors, fans, and time freezes would be more useful, but only if you’re willing to spend $6 for one of each, or $10 for two of each.
The game has gone from a relaxing pastime to a frustrating money grab.
2024-07-23
Starts off fun
The game starts off fun and you get to do a few of the levels but then every time you finish one, a new ad pops up for something else. This is a common bait and switch in which a developer hopes that you like the free trial and eventually will pay for it. Unfortunately this type of thought and marketing is a very poor concept for both the player and the developer. As a developer if you were to charge a nominal fee, say 2 to 4 dollars upfront for unlimited free ads not only would you triple the income that you have over Night by getting new players, but you’re rating on this particular app would go up because it’s not inundated by the next sales. Remember when you pay for something there should be absolutely no ads. Advertisement means that your subject to the nuance of the ad only because you’re not paying for the service. It probably doesn’t make any sense because we pay for cable TV have to put up with all the ads. just remember if your product is good people go looking for it. They don’t need advertisements to know it’s there.
2024-07-06
Ultimately, too expensive
I really enjoy this game. I actually paid to have no ads because the ads were so ridiculously long. It was taking away from my enjoyment. I don’t mind paying for no ads when I’m really enjoying a game. My complaint is that there are so many hard levels, and it is next to impossible to solve them without paying for extra time. And the extra time costs 900 coins. But winning a level only pays you 25 coins. So I was constantly having to purchase more coins in order to buy more time to solve the harder levels. I think 900 coins for extra time is too much. And if you try to solve the hard levels without paying for extra time, you only have five lives and then you either have to buy lives or stop playing for a while. I’m just going to delete this game. It’s a shame, because this game really had potential. The developers are just too greedy.
2024-07-06
Like most games: too many ads
I was all set to write a review about how the ads weren’t that bad, really, that there were optional ones you could watch for rewards but that was about it. And then I hit level 70something and it started: puzzle, ad, puzzle, ad, puzzle, ad!
Couldn’t even build up the goodwill a bit more by easing the transition with an ad after five puzzles or so, could you? You just had to dive straight into an ad after every puzzle! The puzzles aren’t that long (especially with the sometimes insanely-short timers they have), so having an ad after every puzzle is too much.
I’ll have to think about whether this game is worth the $8 blackmail to avoid ads. I certainly have games I enjoy more that asked for less money. For now, playing a puzzle and closing the game when the ad starts works pretty well, but how long before I “forget” to open it again? So many app devs think they’ll get us hooked enough or frustrated enough to be willing to fork over money, failing to consider the possibility that they’ll just annoy us enough to walk away.
2024-07-05
Battery Usage
I really liked this game a lot so I bought the ad free version. I liked how they didn’t take the commercials all the way away. You can still watch videos for coins or boosts.
My problem came with the battery usage. I installed it on my iPad and my cell and instantly I noticed a difference. I tried closing the app when not in use while I waited for hearts to rebuild but it didn’t help at all. I had to uninstall it, 40% battery usage after just an hour of my regular usage, is too much and unhealthy for the battery.
I took it out of the iPad first to see if it was the culprit and my battery went back to normal. So I took it off the iPhone too and the same thing happened. So I am sorry about the 3 stars because I really enjoyed the game and I would reinstall if they directly address this and fix it.
2024-07-04
I Like It, But…
I enjoy the app and the game is addictive and fun. I have not noticed any glitches thusfar. I don’t mind the temptation to purchase more hearts/time, and the ads aren’t terrible exactly (though that’s not saying much). My issue and the reason why it’s not getting a full 5 stars is that when I’m in the mood to play a game app, I’m already killing time, so to have my choices be to pay money or play something else - I’m going to keep choosing to play something else. One strictly timed round every 30-minutes is not enough to get or keep me in the groove, nor enough incentive to pay. Clearing rounds also doesn’t accumulate enough coins to “purchase” more time in any calculable way, so it’s not really helpful either. So as it stands, I guess I’ll be playing one round per day, if I’m in the mood, more if some hearts accumulated overnight, but then moving on back to solitaire or my knitting.

Free???? It will eventually cost you to play and it’s not cheap.
I absolutely love the game, but the price to continue is going to cost you in bucks and/or frustration. You’ll end up having to to keep playing the same game over and over until you FINALLY WIN without having to pay $. To continue to keep playing, you have to spend 1st 900 points, then if you fail, it’s going to cost you 1900 points to keep playing to win to get points or rewards. It takes forever to build up any points. Most of the time, it’s 15-30 points at a time. Ridiculous payout. The ads are long and annoying, so you’re going to want to pay to get rid of the ads….$7.99. The best thing going is the scissors to cut a rope. The game is very stingy with those as a reward. I’m up past level 221. You basically have to win 4 games in a row to beat the game and win a reward. You’ll get very tempted to pay their high price for so few points, considering you spend 900 at a pop if you don’t win the first time.
One last note on this game…they have ads on my other games and I can’t close them out so I just end up stopping that game and going on another game that hasn’t been hit yet with their ads. I don’t play games a lot, but when I do, this is the only ad that is sooooo annoyingly impossible to close out MOST of the time.
2024-07-01
Complex doesn’t mean fun
I really use to enjoy this game. It was my largest past time and I’d play non stop; at work, transit, watching tv and anytime I needed to do something with my hands. I would totally get lost in this game and in a week would pass 100 levels or more. I’m nearly at level 700 and would’ve kept going. Back then I would’ve given it 5 stars, but since this new update… 2 stars. In order to pass ONE level there 3 levels within it. It’s so hard for ZERO reason. I can only assume they did this because now you are more likely to need coins or gifts to pass levels. This means spending more money. They have taken ALL of the fun out of the game and it’s impossible to loose yourself in it. I’m sadly going to need to give up the game and find another. If anyone has recommendations for a game that doesn’t change up the main way it plays suddenly, please lmk!
2024-06-25
Another Good Game Ruined by Ads
I really enjoy the game, so much so that I shelled out $8 to remove ads. However, you can’t escape the ads bc some levels are near impossible without needing to use some extra thing that requires you to watch ads or shell out more money. I wouldn’t mind so much if the ads weren’t so long (at least a minute) and don’t come with a mute button.
Also, the gameplay is a bit hinky. Sometimes, the sucker won’t stick even when the circle lights up showing it can be placed there. Other times, the string will spring back into a position that makes no sense but manages to twist everything into a mess, I can only assume that’s on purpose to make the game harder.
I’m enjoying it now, but my frustration with ads and difficult play will eventually make it no longer worth the effort and I’ll go find another ad-heavy game to play for awhile and then delete. 🤷🏽♀️

A Naked Ploy To Get Into Your Wallet - Sole Purpose Is Monetization
This game is indeed challenging and fun. That said, it is also purposely designed to force you to pay to play. You will use up your lives quickly, gain coins slowly, and be forced to watch ads and/or wait for long periods of time to keep playing once it has made you use up your lives on levels that just don’t give you enough time on the first attempt. And I’m pretty good at these type of puzzles. The 30+ min wait times mean either stop playing for a while, or use the in app purchasing to buy coins, which you then use to purchase lives , etc etc.
Sad, because I like the game (through the mechanics are a bit janky, also making you waste precious time on the clock to repeat moves until they “take”), but the plot for your wallet is so direct and so aggressive that it ruins the experience. I’d pay to remove ads, but then the game would still attempt to force me to purchase upgrades and the like and ads are one of the few “free” ways to do that.
Uninstalling and will find something else to amuse me. This is a naked plot to get I to your wallet. Pass on it.

Ads are killing this game
This game is actually pretty fun but there are some things other than the gameplay itself that are killing this game for me.
By far the worst part about this game is the ads. They is a 30 second ad that takes multiple clicks to get through after every level which takes 30 seconds - 1 minute to complete. This means that about half the time you spend in this app is watching ads and half the time is playing the game. This is a terrible ad to gameplay ratio! And i am not going to pay $7 to get rid of ads, absolutely ridiculous, this game is not at all worth $7. $1 would be reasonable.
There are other things I could mention but they aren’t even worth addressing until less ads are implemented. With the current state of the ads I can’t recommend this game to anybody, fix the ads and it might be a different story.

Fun Game, But…
I really enjoy this game and I’ve been able to get through the levels pretty easily. However, there are some frustrating quirks that make me not want to immediately play this game when given the choice.
The biggest thing I dislike is that sometimes, the moveable pieces of the rope get thrown under other ropes when the movement you make is one that *should* take that piece over the rope. Then the ropes will sometimes not stretch as far as they appear to be able to, and the pieces will often land back where they were pulled from despite being clearly placed on a landing spot. Finally, the last two seconds basically don’t count — the game stops working and you can move your pieces anymore. That has cost me a life many times.
It comes down to some glitchiness that makes the game feel just a bit underdeveloped. I will still continue to play, but again, it’s not my go-to.
2024-05-07
Fun but needs work
I actually love the concept of the game. Thoroughly enjoy the challenge of untangling the ropes. That part gets a no-brainer five stars. With that being said I am frustrated and disappointed that it is quite limited. Why are there no life rewards? And I do take advantage of the free offers which is to watch minutes of ads’ videos to get fifteen minutes of play only to have the “free” fifteen minutes to be eaten up by more videos. Free play should be just that—free time to enjoy the game—especially when one watches ads to get it anyhow. And the gosh-awful amount of time it takes to get another life!! I mean really? 30 minutes for each new life? I can deal with the ads okay. But waiting hours just to have five lives back— pfft!! I enjoy the game but it gets a bit repetitive and redundant. And, no, those two words are not interchangeable!! The game could be a fav for many if it was more consumer friendly. Just add some perks that are actually attainable! And I even looked at buying some of the coins, etc. but that is limited—needs more variety. I hope my suggestions don’t fall on deaf ears or blind eyes. You got a winner in this game if it has some serious tweaks worked out. I’m staying for a bit longer but as with many others that I have read their posts—-it is limited to how long. Hoping for some change!

The game is easy, but the mechanics don’t work
I got to level 83 and deleted the game. I should’ve beat every single level, on my way to 83, in my first try, but the game makes you waist so much time trying to move the tangles to places that they SHOULD go, but just won’t go. It’s not a skill issue, it’s a game issue, plus the there’s way too much time for simple puzzles and barely any time for more difficult puzzles. Again, these puzzles are really very easy and often simply just yanking the knots in different directions will inconsistently completely untangle them, or even get them triple tangled into an objectively impossible mess. There were several times where I should’ve beat the level, but it wouldn’t let me move the knot to the place after trying 5 times and time ran out. One time it didn’t process that all of the knots were completely untangled and I had to use my scissors power-up to get through the level. Bad game. I deleted it because I ran out of coins, but I shouldn’t have even had to spend a single coin. If the game worked right, I would’ve won every level my first try.
2024-04-25
good game. needs a little rework
i like how there is basically no ads, or at least a lot less than other games. it started off really fun, the levels being challenging but not like impossible. then all of a sudden the timers on the levels dropped so much that it became physically impossible to complete the levels in that amount of time. i think that's where they input the ads is for the coins and the power ups that you end up needing to complete more levels after 25. i think that there should be no timer at all, would make the game actually relaxing and not like "omg i gotta hurry up and finish this level or i have to pay NINE HUNDRED COINS" that's another thing, 900 coins if you mess up a level??? you only get 15 coins per level and 100 for the games marked "difficult". overall i do really like the game but i just think it needs some changes
2024-04-19
Not as relaxing as it was without timed levels
I paid the full price for this game because it seemed intriguing, I like puzzles and like to destress. Then they became timed puzzles. Which is completely unnecessary in my opinion and now just causes me anxiety. I'm not going to pay more money for small amounts of time to get passed level 272 knowing that this is what is to be expected moving forward. I burned through all my earned coins and still didn't get passed it. I feel like I paid for the game already why do I need to pay more to keep going? I had known there were timed levels I would have passed on the purchase. There are many more enjoyable games that can be solved, don't cost anything or nearly as much. All in all disappointed and feel I wasted my money. Also, it has glitches and that waste time and precious seconds this game requires do to its touchiness. Over it.
2024-04-06
SO MUCH FUN!!
Another Update:
I’m still LOVING this game. Pay the $7 to remove ads, it’s worth it. The levels get harder, the time gets shorter, the ropes have to be placed precisely sometimes but that is part of the challenge!! Patience people, patience! Keep playing and you will get it. I’m on level 723 and it’s taking me longer now to get through the levels but that is part of the fun. Everything can’t be easy people!! Enjoy the challenge of things.
UPDATE: PLEASE PLEASE REMOVE THE STUPID EMOJI at the end of each round! It’s soooo annoying!! Don’t listen to negative reviews!! I’m on level 150 and while I did pay to upgrade for no ads (I hate ads), I have never had to purchase any extras to get to level 150. I have spent .99 cents twice to play for an hour without worry about losing lives but that’s only because I was waiting and figured it would be a great time killer. I’m 100% convinced that it takes patience to get through the levels. I’ve had to play the hard levels multiple times to memorize the easy way to untangle certain parts, so you slowly work your way through the really hard levels. I’m actually really glad you only get 5 lives otherwise I’d probably be playing for hours straight!! lol I highly HIGHLY recommend this game but bring patience or better yet, learn it. Too many people lack patience so this is a great game to learn patience. Have fun!!!

Very buggy
Game can be nice and challenging but the bugginess can make it just impossible at times. Literally finished a level and the game just kept the timer going and didn’t credit me the level as done. Burnt a life redoing it for no reason. Fortunately it was an easier level, otherwise I would’ve been very angry especially if I’d have spent money or one of the special moves to finish it. Also, game seems to get stuck and no matter how precise you move the yarn, none will move and stay. Burned 20s on level because game wouldn’t allow me to make any moves. No rhyme or reason as to when it will let you flip a yarn under/over another and when it won’t.
I still enjoy the game but I refuse to pay money for this unless I was just trying to get rid of ads which don’t truly appear to be many if you learn to ignore the extra video options.
2024-03-21
Fun…Til’ It Wasn’t!
I was excited for this game and really started to enjoy it. I would have liked some rules, like why do bands turn colors or don’t apparently go into some holes but also what the bonus things do. Make sure to read everything and be super careful NOT to “accidentally” hit the buy 20 seconds for 900 points, that ate away my points three times because I was playing on my phone and hit the button by mistake.
Takes way too long to earn points, ads are ridiculous, and I have no problem paying for an Ap to get through levels but there are levels that even with purchases you can’t pass. And give me something when I spend money. To pay and get two items but it will take you 5x’s that to possibly use to win is ridiculously greedy.
I love a good challenge and enjoy puzzle games but the timer is ridiculous and makes the game stressful and more of a race game. Limited moves to make it a challenge or give that as an option would make this better. Although, some game glitches kept me from even moving into an open hole. I just got frustrated and mad….those are two very big reasons NOT to play this game. I want my games to be a distraction and fun. I deleted it but am still grumpy and came back to write a review because it had so much potential. After seeing a bunch of other reviews, guess I am not alone!
2024-03-09
Bad customer service
Horrible customer service…. Until I ran into an issue with their app, it was a fun game. Been playing a few months, at level 700+. Then, would try to make in-app purchase and all I get is the shuffle circle with the only way to exit is to either shut my phone off/on, or, delete/reinstall the app. Then, I discovered I was being charged every time I attempted purchase, yet, never receiving the purchase. I sent emails via their settings “contact us” x3 with never even an acknowledgment of my communications, ever. I have asked Apple to refund for what I didn’t receive, although, gotten no response from them as yet either. Does “no company” have ANY sense of how they get paid!?!?. I can just as easily walk away as I did begin to play. I hope they choose to refund. By the time I realized I was still being charged, it was a decent chunk of $$. Won’t be recommending this app to anyone. I’m old enough to remember, the law used to be, if running a business, there had to be a person you could physically contact.. that needs to return. Hiding and ignoring will only work for so long… …. The worst customer service. They don’t exist if no one buys.,

Was enjoyable until it became impossible to win…
I was enjoying this game fairly well up until I hit level 700. Yes, there are a lot of annoying pop-ups with this game—especially with always asking you to watch ads for things. There should be a “don’t ask me again” option. I don’t mind sitting through the occasional ad here and there, but being constantly asked to do it is very annoying. Also, really think the emojis are a crappy detail. And don’t even get me started on the issue with placing the pegs—I’ve lost levels because the darn thing won’t be consistent. You know where I’m trying to go, stop bouncing around!
Puzzle games are some of my favorite games to play, and while I love a good challenge, making something impossible to beat without having to buy more time is just ridiculous. The “hard” and “very hard” challenges were usually the really frustrating levels with lots of easier levels in between that made the game nice and relaxing to play (more or less), but once I hit level 700 even those became next to impossible without buying more time. It’s just so disappointing. I don’t need my games stressing me out more than I already am, and I just wish they’d give you more time or a no-time option all together. All this has made me go from playing daily to hardly at all now. Will likely delete soon. So disappointed.
2024-03-03
Fun and Addicting BUT..
So it is so much fun and addicting especially if you have ADHD. But don't bother with the ad removal--for every single thing you'll still have to watch ads. new skins-ads. New pins-ads. Extra coins-ads. level boost-ads. it most definitely is NOT worth $8! you don't really get anything! Next let's talk about the timer- i get a timer in games but most give you 2-3 minutes to figure stuff out... less than a minute is ridiculous. kids have trouble beating it-as an adult i just barely come in under it! i'm constantly having to get them past a level. Upgrades are awesome- if you have any hope of getting them before getting old. good upgrades 4-5k in coins which would be fine if you didn't make 20-30 a level ugh. They make a fun game way more stressful than they should. i gave it 3 stars because it is fun and the graphics are good especially compared to others
2024-02-29
Mostly good
This is a super fun game, I’m fairly addicted it it, if you want a simple game and like untying knots, this is for you. Very colorful and there’s tons of fun relaxing levels with some challenging levels. Buy the upgrade, ad free mode, it’s worth it.
The down side is that sometimes you get a bug that prevents you from moving anything, even if there is plenty of slack. Usually restarting the game fixes that bug but it does mean sacrificing a life.
Most levels are great where you have plenty of time left and others have short times and are clearly set up to make you spend money. I’m not a fan of the 1min limit. I barely make it halfway untying and if after running out of lives on one level multiple times… I contemplate deleting the game. Lol. But again I’m fairly addicted…

Progress Difficult
I enjoy this game but progress is definitely difficult. There are few ways to earn coins, and then it costs 500 to 900 coins to buy a little extra time. And so far I haven’t found ANY way to earn more boosters and buying them is nearly impossible because they cost thousands and, as I have said, coins are difficult to accumulate. I was moving slowly on my iPad so, I decided to open another game in my iPhone. Interestingly, more lives or extra time costs 500 coins on my iPad but, it costs 900 coins on my iPhone. Why the discrepancy? It makes no sense. Hard and very hard levels are difficult to pass but, with patience you can do it. I am on level 99 after a few days. I have not decided whether to keep the game or not. But for now I will continue. Developers . . . If you made it a little easier to progress, people would be willing to spend more money. But I for one am not willing to spend money on every difficult level that comes up.
2024-02-26
Ba-Bye!
The developers need to work on this game some more. I really like this game but I’m going to need to delete it.
I’ve been on level 99 for well over a week. The time allowed for the level simply isn’t long enough. I can’t ever get to the last section of ropes to figure them out because time runs out. You do the same moves over and over but don’t have enough time to finish the level. I refuse to spend money on games.
If there were other ways to earn coins to extend the level time that would be great. Maybe daily bonuses to save up coins to extend the time on a level, something to help. At this point I would need to spend money to make it past this level. I simply refuse. It’s too bad because I do like the game, but it has become too frustrating and not relaxing at all. Why continue when I’ll never make it past the level.
It is the very definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The reality is that I won’t make it past this level without paying money for more time. Ba-Bye!

FANTASTIC until level 119
I’ve had so much fun progressing through the levels of Twisted Tangle. They start out extremely simple, but get a little more difficult as you go, but not too hard. The game is very similar to the ads. Just move the ends of ropes around until you isolate the whole rope and free it. keep doing this until the board is clear. I wish I could go back and play old levels again, but it won’t let you do that.
Boosters will be introduced that you can use to help solve more difficult levels. It’s good challenging fun until level 119. Then the Hard and Very Hard levels are too difficult to solve without using one of the boosters to cut a line or add more time. Getting more of those requires spending real money even after I paid for the game because I loved it so much. Now I’m stuck on level 139 and have given up playing it. Such a shame because it was so much fun.
2024-02-22
Super fun game, but not worth $7.99
I really enjoy the challenges on this game, but it’s really frustrating that you only get 5 lives. I even paid for the ad-free version, thinking that would extend lives since that’s the case on other games I’ve played, and you still only get 5 lives. Some of the levels are pretty difficult, so it’s frustrating to be stuck on a level for so long. For $7.99, there should be more perks than not having to watch 10 seconds of an ad before moving to the next level. Plus, there are still a ton of ads to watch, unless you are willing to spend even more money for coins or tickets. I’ve tried watching the ad to get 15 minutes of unlimited lives multiple times, and even though the ad says reward granted, I’ve never actually been rewarded with the unlimited lives. In short, I love the game itself, but I want more lives.
2024-02-17
Good game … but
I really enjoy this game, but I am only giving it two stars because of the placement of the continue game button. When I play the game, I don’t watch the clock, I just try to finish. But when the clock stops, it immediately takes you to the page that has a giant button that charges you coins if you want an additional seconds. If you want more time, then you just press the button, but most of the time, I’m not even given a choice because of my finger placement during game play. Depending on where my fingers are during play, when it immediately switches to the page asking if you want more time, my finger is on the button that charges me coins to continue playing. I don’t even have a choice. It’s so frustrating. I’ve lost thousands of coins this way. When I tried to get support, it would not go through. For these two reasons, this is a two star rated game for me.
2024-02-15
Ok but could be improved
In the beginning, I had a lot of fun with the game. There was no timer and it was simply trying to undo tangles. As you proceed, the game obviously gets more difficult. Other barriers are slowly added to make untangling more challenging.
However, after a certain number of levels, the untangling becomes timed. There is no way to go back to “easier” levels and no way to get around timed games without needing to pay for infinite lives or hoping you have accrued enough coins to pay for work arounds.
I really am not a fan of timed games in general and wish it was at least possible to go back to earlier levels to just play the untangling parts. Or to have an option of toggling between easy and difficult instead of forcing timed games. I may be in the minority in this desire though.
2024-02-08
Great game but…
I’m at very hard level 99 and I’ve spent about a week trying to move forward. I paid for no ads and I won’t buy items to move through a level. When you can’t move forward even on a hard level after a week and you can’t use the coins you accrue in the game that tells me one thing your just a money grabber and you don’t want me to enjoy your game. I’m bored at level 99 and now since I can’t move forward I will now delete this game and no longer play. I miss the days you pay for a game and literally play info play two others games like this here and I treasure them games aren’t fun if I have to spend a week playing one level. Also I waste so much time moving pieces to places and it not sticking it’s crazy. Your telling me you don’t want me to move forward unless I pay well I did and what’s your excuse now? Gave up one week playing one level it’s deleted.
2024-02-07
Interesting game but glitches out and stops working
I have played a lot of this game and for the most part it has been interesting and engaging but when you get further through and the more complicated the knots get the game I think stops being able to handle it and stops letting you move certain pieces. It’s not a distance thing, you can always try and stretch something and hang onto it despite it not fitting somewhere else, but instead the piece just jumps back to its spot the moment it seems like it might work somewhere else. It’s specific pieces at specific times and for the more complicated levels that means you can’t finish them. Also, sometimes if you tangle certain strings enough they’ll clip through each other, or more likely themselves, and so they untangle for you. That part is actually handy for particularly frustrating 2 string tangles but it does prove that the physics system is messed up
2024-02-05
Fun but …
The games fun. Gets you to use your brain. Move your phone around to see different view points. But I think it’s absolutely stupid how expensive everything is. You have to buy more lives for 900 coins but each passed level is only 15 coins? So then you get tempted to PURCHASE coins. And the time limits are ridiculous and don’t count down correctly (we’ve clocked it) and it takes half an hour for 1 life to come back. I think they’d benefit more if each level gave you more coins (like I’m on level 64 and still only getting 15 coins when I complete a level … same amount as level 1. Seems stupid) it’s also incredibly annoying and completely unfair they most the time when you go to stick an end of a rope somewhere, it won’t go there. Not because there’s no more slack. But just because the game glitches and you have to waste time trying to stick it several times.
It’s a good concept. But poorly executed.

Frustrated about # of ads 😫😤
** Update** Deleted the game, couldn’t take it anymore!
I’m a huge puzzle fan! When I saw the ad for this game I was like, “yes please”! The game is fun and keep getting more difficult as I progress 😌. The huge downfall is the number of ads 😫😤. I can understand an ad after a few puzzles solved, but after every, single, game, played?!? There are two options after each game I thought would help with this issue. First option is to receive all the points won if you watch an ad., and the second option is to receive half the point won to skip ad. I clearly selected skip ads. Yet, the ad plays and is as long as the live long day. It would be great if you’d allow players to skip ads for a few games than play the ad or even make the option after each game actually work. After the four or fifth game, issue the full points won and play ad without an option to skip. Let’s be clear, I know there is an option to purchase the game to avoid ads completely. With prices on everything going up, I can stand to watch an ad once in a while. Emphasis on once in a while! Not watching ads more than playing the game and longer than it takes to solve the puzzle. I’m not one for writing reviews, but this was truly warranted. I’d hate to delete the app, but with it operating as is, it’s causing more frustration than relaxation. Hope to see changes in the next update!
2024-01-28
I like the game but purchases are stupid
As someone who has been playing this game from time to time and have spent money on it do not buy any no ad packs. I didn’t realize that they charged a dollar per day (or 24hrs) for no ads which is stupid ($30 per month or more) instead of just having a flat rate for a whole month or lifetime which I’ve seen many other apps do. Also sometimes the game gets buggy which could make it worse for you when one rope you’re about to untangle glitches under another rope for no reason and forces you to lose time which in then turn makes you lose a heart and the level and have to start that level over again. I like this game but come on a 30 dollars a month for no ads and also the glitches? Do better.
2024-01-26
Waste of space
If you can manage to get past the 8 dollar ask price for ad removal, which is after every stage whether you complete it or not, then if you can manage to get past the fact that the game has lives which are spent whenever you don’t complete a level, which you have to pay for, then after that if you can manage to get past the fact that the game runs like garbage on iPhone and the levels are TIMED, so you helplessly watch the time tick away while you are unable to interact with the puzzle due to your phone becoming a fireball after some of the ‘hard’ levels, it’s still garbage.
And those ‘hard’ levels are only semi entertaining to begin with, as the puzzles are usually two, three, or four of the same set of strings, spread across a larger board.
Get out the Mac for this one I guess, but at that point there are better games you can buy for less than the 8 dollars necessary to make this game almost worthwhile.
2024-01-19
Way too many ads and arbitrary time limits
Okay I have a lot of things that I’d like to address in this review. First off, there are way too many ads. It seems like every minute I’m seeing another ad. Because I am. The time limits on each level are crazy. Maybe one level I’ll finish with an extra minute and a half on the timer, but the “super hard challenge levels” are designed to make you fail so you’ll pay 900 coins for 20 seconds. This is impossible when you only earn 15 coins per level, so the only option in the end is to spend your money. This game is pay to win, and although the concept and some levels are fun, I think it’s completely ruined by the timer. The ads would even be acceptable if the game itself wasn’t so incredibly frustrating. But hey, at least the money farm is working, right? Because it doesn’t matter how horrible the game is when you don’t pay, you only care about the experience of people who have hundreds of dollars to spend on mobile games, which is a fair business practice at the end of the day.
2024-01-11
Like the game but….
It’s a fun challenging game. My problem is the movement, when I go to place piece if it’s not exactly precise it won’t go where I want it. I understand there are some strings under tension and have a limit to their travel but these are ends That have slack and should move to any one of the spots near by and I’ll waste valuable time on the harder levels trying to get ends placed and then run out of time I also don’t care for the clear greed of the app, 30 minutes to get a heart back before I play again but if I buy add on at an insane price The if you watch am ad you get 15 minutes of unlimited play but have to wait six hours for that to be an option again. The game is fun but not that fun
Level 99 was my breaking point. There is no way to make it without using a bonus somehow. At that point I had to buy something to make it work. The pieces in the upper side of the map are so jumbled I could not get any end to move to another spot so I just kept wasting time eventually running out. I got tired of wasting two days trying the level and the delays I’m earning hearts to play added to the frustration with the game…..so I’ve deleted it
2024-01-04
Fun game but will cost you
This is a fun game at first but the hard levels are almost impossible to beat without spending money on extra items. After awhile I found the game to be stressful and not relaxing. If someone took this concept and made a game that was actually paced to the users progress it would be such a fun game. Or just have you the option to play the puzzles. They start quickly reducing your time and increasing the difficulty so you will buy in app purchases, which is fine, but they don’t give you barely anything and it will make you mad to no end. Not at all what a game should do. I deleted the app because it quickly became frustrating and boring when they don’t pace the progress through. You don’t get much for the app purchases, one of the more expensive games I’ve played as far as in app purchases. Quickly lost interest. Wish someone would come up with this game where you could just figure out the puzzles (tangles) and it wasn’t making it difficult in an attempt to get you to buy in app purchases. The ads are constant. Nothing relaxing or satisfying about this game after level 20 or so. I waisted money hoping it wouldn’t be so frustrating after several more levels. I’d pay monthly for an app I just enjoyed playing and was challenging but not frustrating and the app purchases cost waaaay too much.
2023-12-31
I used to love this game. Now…
With the advent of the timer, which can’t be eliminated, this game has dropped from on I played on a daily basis to one I only play occasionally. I like relaxing games, especially ones that challenge my ability to figure out a puzzle. It’s the reason I enjoyed the game so much. The timer ruined the game for me.
Now all the relaxation is gone. The timer makes many levels a scramble to get complicated tangles undone before the timer runs out. Not at all relaxing. I just spent at least 5 times adding 20 seconds onto a super hard level rather than having the opportunity to plan out my moves. The cost doubles each time for a piddling 20 sec.
How about adding a no timer option? There are those of use who want to play relaxing games. With NO TIMER. Once I end up using all my coins I’ll delete the game. I do purchase items in games I enjoy. I won’t be purchasing anything unless there is a no timer option added back to the game.

Ultimately, I Hated This Game
I loved this game, the game play was super fun, the design was easy to understand and the graphics were appealing enough. After playing a hundred or so levels I came to HATE this game. There are ads everywhere, they’re super long and they generally can’t be muted, so if I’m listening to music while playing I have to listen to annoying sounds overlapped until the ad ends. Still, not a deal-breaker, I get that game devs need to make their money. Where I ultimately decided to get rid of this app was on 2 items: 1) (more minor) the game play is a little glitchy, in that the string ends don’t reliably stay in place, and can take a few tries to get them to stick, which makes it untenable for 2) the time limits. I like puzzle games, and these puzzles are super fun, setting ridiculous time limits on the level to make it difficult, and not because the actual puzzle is difficult, but as a cash grab, is where I couldn’t stand this game. Some levels take time to untangle, and if you don’t pay your way out, you’ll be stuck for a long time until you can memorize (and get lucky, see #1) and beat the level. Nope. Nope. NOPE!

Way too many ads to enjoy the game
Within the first 5 minutes of playing this game, I had 4 pop-up ads. It's not consistent, either. It's not every _ minutes, it's not every _ levels. I counted having a pop-up after I completed 3 levels, then another after I completed 2 (which was less than a minute after the last!)
The amount of pop-up ads is WAY too much and too often to even get a good feel for how the difficulty of the game may progress. $7.99 to remove pop-ups is asking quite a bit when I wasn't even able to get through 10 levels without those 5 ads. I definitely don't mind the banner ads at the bottom since they don't get in the way of the game, but I was really disappointed that I can't even enjoy the game at all. I understand people need to make money from their games, but this is way too much. Definitely a game I ended up deleting after 8 or so levels and 5 minutes of playing 😕

Interesting, but WAY too many ads
There's an ad (30 seconds in length) about every sixty seconds (they're *likely* shown based on passing levels, rather than time, but the beginning levels are very easy and I got through them quickly.). I downloaded Twisted Tangle less than an hour ago and have been forced to watch over twenty ads in less than thirty minutes of game play.
*Once* was, I suppose, my fault, because I clicked on what I thought was a 'free point multiplier' - but no, it was another ad. I just thought I'd won something after passing a lot of levels.
It's too bad, because the ad I saw that caused me to download the game did make the game look interesting and challenging indeed, but I won't pay $8 to find that out, and I can't (or won't!) take an extra 10 minutes to watch ads every time I happen to get a half hour game break.

Good game… with some issues
I quite like this game, but have some problems with it. Firstly, it runs my phone (4 month old iPhone 14, battery health 100%) very, very hot and drains the battery faster than streaming movies. If I am charging the phone while playing, it will pause the charging due to overheating. After about 10 minutes, my unplugged phone, in a case, will leave the side buttons quite warm, and if I play for 15-20 minutes, they are almost too hot to touch.
As other reviewers mentioned, for the challenge levels and boss levels, there often aren’t enough moves, relying on adds for extra moves (draining and heating further)
The rate that the ‘lives’ refill to play the challenge levels is far slower than unlocking those levels. You have to spend a life to play it, win or lose. And since I prefer the harder levels, it is frustrating, as I don’t want to pay for extra lives.
I would play this game more if it weren’t for the issues

Not enough moves…
I’m on level 321 and I love this game. Figuring out tangles is tons of fun and great for my 71 year old (tomorrow) brain! But I’m finding that the boss challenges no longer have the number of moves required to solve many of them. Just as I’m getting close to solving, I run out of moves…and for the last five boss challenges, not even watching ads for 8 moves are not enough! AND WHO is the genius (NOT!!) who has started putting loops with no moving ends? That costs too many of my moves…so I lose now! Come on now, staff; play nice here! Invent something that rewards me for good playing; create a circle ⭕️ that if I free a tangle with/using that circle ⭕️, two sets of tangles disappear! Thank you for a game that engrosses me with the gameplay. (Please, not so many 🚫circles in one game…🤔🤔)

Very glitchy
I really enjoy the game, but the app has tons of problems. The first time I burned through all the levels and got to boss level 600. The app completely froze at 600 even though I shut my phone off and tried a bunch of different things. So the only thing I could do was delete the app and add it again. That took me down to level one, and I had to start all over again, which I did. A few days later, I reached level 600 again. It actually let me play boss level 600, but after I’ve finished the game I reset itself back to the beginning. I kind of assumed that maybe 600 was the highest level they have developed this. I made it to that level in three days. So for the second time, I’m at the beginning, level one (yawn), and soon made it up to 350. Then it started regressing back to 300, then 250, then 200. And there it stayed, stuck at 200. Over and over and over again, stuck at 200. I have level 200 memorized. So once again, I deleted the app and added it back and now I am on good old level one. This app has some serious problems.
