User Reviews

Riddle Stones is lauded as a fun, brain-teasing puzzle that’s easy to learn and can be played offline, with strong long-term appeal. However, it is hampered by pervasive ads, a frustrating life/energy mechanic, and repetitive levels. Monetization concerns, sparse updates, and occasional crashes further frustrate long-time players. Overall, it’s a solid, enjoyable puzzle game with notable positives but significant trade-offs that can impact the experience for regular players.

Pros

Fun thinking game that keeps the mind active and is entertaining
Simple, addictive Nonogram-style puzzles that are easy to pick up
Playable offline with no required internet connection
Long-term, ongoing engagement; players have been playing for years and still enjoy it

Cons

Too many ads after nearly every level; some ads are loud, lengthy, and even feel scammy
Energy/life system is frustrating: one mistake ends the turn, long waits to regain lives, and heavy reliance on purchases
Puzzles become repetitive after hundreds of levels; not enough new content
Monetization concerns and inconsistent updates: ad removal not reliable, questionable offers, sudden price issues
Stability issues: app sometimes crashes or freezes; occasional bugs and ads interfering with progress

When I downloaded this game a long time ago I loved it. Reached the end of the levels. I saw they added some levels and was excited. Paid the $0.99 for no ads. Was happy to. I went in to the app a day later to play and got a notification from my bank that I was charged $34.99 by apple. I immediately checked my app acct and saw that it was for this game “time limited offer 500”. I didn’t get an offer to click on, I didn’t get the apple confirm to buy double click. I tried finding what this offer was and couldn’t find it. I reported it immediately and my request was declined by apple. I submitted an appeal explaining the details and was denied the appeal. I wouldn’t have made this purchase as I didn’t have the funds in that account AND I don’t spend that much on a game. I just checked the App Store for the game and in the list of in-app purchases there is no listing for anything that costs $35!!! I have deleted the game - I refuse to support a game that rips off its customers. Apple has always been fair when I’ve had issues with apps but for some reason not this one. So now I’m writing a review and filing a fraud complaint with my bank.

It used to be a fun game but now it’s full of ads after every single try and they are all scam ads promising you were going to win a bunch of money by playing other apps. Don’t download them they are scams. I am deleting this app.
