Zotz! App Reviews

I like to think I'm especially good at pattern matching, but my first few minutes with Zotz! convinced me that I'm a rank amateur. This requires a little THINKING, but that's a GOOD thing. Got a few minutes to kill? Don't stare at the TV, or you'll be killing neurons along with time. Stare at Zotz! and you'll be giving those neurons a little exercise.

This is an attractive (and customizable!) game; the perfect combo of requiring some thought and quick gameplay. Great when you just need to kill a few minutes, but makes you think enough to stay interesting. Once you get the concept, it's fun! (Nice to be able to change the colors.) Once in a while it seems like you're stuck, but there has always been a solution!

I really like this game, but it's not working with the new iPhone 5 upgrade. Didn't see any actual support on the Zotz! support page.

I was looking for an app of Set, the best solitaire game ever. This is close. I like the customizable options, and the hint. I only gave it 4 stars because a way to rearrange the cards would be awesome. Not just a shuffle, but maybe organized by number of shapes. That's how I always played with Set.

This is just what I need when it's that part of the day (or that part of a flight) where my energy is dwindling. After a game or two, I'm invigorated and feel slightly smarter. (Disclaimer: I'm the editor of a couple of his books, which means I'm used to giving him honest feedback, which at the moment is just my wish for an iPad version.)

I love the game itself, but since the ios5 upgrade it crashes anytime a wrong selection is made. I'm thinking of deleting it, but I paid three bucks for it. So lately it's just been taking up space in my games folder.
