Nuts And Bolts - Screw Puzzle Game Reviews

Love. My favorite game! I have been loving this game! The new update with harder levels is so nice! The only thing I don’t enjoy is the stupid lady bugs. While I understand it’s supposed to make the level harder, it’s just annoying to see them flying around on the screen. Too much stimulation. I would love an option to get rid of those. But overall I love this game so much!

Ads Ads Ads. If you have a burning desire to spend your precious gaming time watching ads, then Nuts and Bolts is your ticket to digital advertising heaven! Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure of clicking through endless advertisements while occasionally catching a glimpse of some gameplay. Advertisers around the world are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting your arrival to showcase their products. Who needs gameplay when you can have ads, ads, and more ads? Nuts and Bolts truly knows how to keep you entertained... with ads! 🙄😂

Could be fun. Too many ads. I don’t know why people that release these apps are so clueless. When an ad pops up between everything you do, it gets old real fast. Uninstalled almost immediately. They could have made so much more money if they didn’t make the experience a nightmare. $5.99 is too much for ad free. Sorry. Hope you will make some changes to make the experience more enjoyable. A happy customer is one that will keep playing.

Super fun, do not pay to remove ads.. I am enjoying this game a lot, but there are not enough levels to justify paying for the ad removal. Version notes state there are 100+ levels yet I’m on “level” 399 and have played the same levels multiple times now. My guts says there are 30 levels not behind ad wall (even after paying for ad removal). Maybe there are 50 levels outside the ad wall, but I don’t think so. If you can tolerate the ads, it’s worth it. If you can, you should probably look for a version of the game with more levels.

Please report this app as a scam!. I was really enjoying the game, I even paid to remove the ads. Now I understand the business model, it’s a ‘free’ game and then you get folks to watch ads or pay, which I totally get, but I paid $3.99 to be able to play, without having to watch an ad. So far so good! That is until you get to level 77. There are no holes, only the extra hole, so you’re forced to either watch an ad, or use diamonds. And if you mess up, well you’re forced to watch an ad or buy diamonds. I can see right now how my future is going to look and that makes me really hate the shady side of this business model, and sadly this game. I’ve wasted $5.99 only to be forced to pay more (which isn’t told to you upfront btw) so here’s your warning now. Even if you pay, it’s still not going to be free. And it’ll just get worse and worse the higher the level you go. Update, so I updated the app to fix bugs, so it says, but now you have 5 hearts as lives and if you use them up then you have to watch an ad or use diamonds. This is a total scam cause I NEVER signed up for that. I don’t understand why games like this have to resort to shady tactics, when the game itself is good enough to stand on its own. I understand ads for free games but if you want to pay just to enjoy the game as is, without the tricks, then just offer that. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Levels repeat. This game plays the way it looks in ads, very fun and challenging, and since I had fun with the first 60 or so levels I decided to pay for the ad-free version… only to start seeing the same levels I’d already solved over and over again after I hit level 100. Wish I’d checked the reviews before paying for it! Definitely worth playing but NOT worth paying for with such a small bank of puzzles

Realistic review. Okay, it’s a fun game in the beginning, but after you reach level 100 plus, it repeats the same pattern/puzzles over and over. That part is tolerable. Also, I realize ads are required for a game that you’re not paying for, but the amount of ads is ridiculous. When you open the game an ad, complete a level another ad, restart a level another ad, to access art puzzles another ad. Spend more time watching ads than playing the game. Too many ads takes away the fun of the game. Sorry, deleted after day two. Reduce ads and I’d consider reinstalling game.

No Internet Connection???. I would love to try to play this game but every time I open it I get an error: No Internet Connection with the spinning wheel. I’ve tried everything I know to get it to work. All my other apps work fine. I’ve tried it on WiFi and cellular. Neither worked. And I’ve rebooted the phone. I forced closed the app each time. I’ve been trying for 2 days to see if anything changed. Nope. This is not my connection/phone issue because everything else works on there. I’m deleting the app without even getting to try it. Sad, because it looked fun.

Fatal game bug at level 872!!. There’s a major bug that prevents playing once you reach level 872. The whole screen becomes black, save for bottom screen ad. You can’t touch anything. Another issue is levels start to repeat. Many reviewers have complained of this. Why isn’t this dealt with? This game is otherwise very, very fun and challenging. Love it.

Fun Game with Excessive Ads. The game is fun but the more you play the more Ads. I’m fine with more than normal with having to watch ads for in game help however.. 60 seconds+ ads before and after each board is too much. After 60 seconds you then have wait about 5 more just to click back to the game. The option to pay $5.99 to remove Ads for 24 hours.. what? Ridiculous. It’s not that level of kind of gameplay. Again, fun for about 20 levels then extremely time consuming due to Ads that are repetitive with no reprieve.

Timer. I paid to not have ads, which was worth it to me. Problem I have is when you choose a “watch” option to avoid spending a life to get an extra hole. There should be a countdown timer from the beginning of the watch session, not just the last 10 seconds. Hey, I’ll admit that when I choose to watch, I put the phone down, and come back later. The professional thing to do is let us know exactly how long the watch session will be. Paramount Plus does this during their ads. Won’t hurt to do this, programmers. You know better. Other than that, I find the puzzles enjoyable.

Ads aggressively open other app if you have it and cut you away from. Ads open the app if you already have it and take you away mid problem, when you just wanted to add a feature. Also, I have no idea why I am collecting coins, as they do not seem to be able to be used for anything. The only way to get tickets it seems to buy them or break it to piggyback four dollars to buy them, some apps have other features which could be useful but

I was really enjoying the game until…. …I reached level 77 where there were no holes to put the screws. I already paid to have the banners removed because I was enjoying the game so much. Then so I was forced to watch an ad or use 10 diamonds to open up one hole. So I paid the 10 diamonds and I’m still totally stuck! I have undone each screw and nothing happens. This is not even supposed to be a hard level. This is not fun anymore. I like to be challenged but not when I’m forced to spend more “money”. I’m still giving it three stars because I enjoyed the first 76 levels.

Ads and more ads. I read the only review here where the person said there weren’t many ads and they could play for a bit before an ad popped up. Not true. I got 4 plays, which are quick, it’s not difficult at all so it’s not like any time is spent on the game. And then an ad. The arrows showed up to move forward, it took me to the app to download, I declined. And it went back to the ad. Had to wait for it to finish. Played ONE game after that and the ads began. Yes, I understand it’s how they get paid and how it helps the creators keep things going. I’m just asking for a better, harder game where I spend time working on it, gimme a few of those and THEN an ad. It’s like the game interrupts the ads at this point. Deleted the game.

Not all open holes work!. I truly love this game but I’m also very frustrated with it. Some of the holes that are open, no blockage, won’t let me place a screw in it, no matter how much I tap on it! As a result I have to skip that one and go to another game. Also, twice I have completed a game but it just stays instead of going to the next one. I hope these issues can be fixed, I’m really hooked on it.

Too many ads, great game otherwise. I really enjoy the games, and would have paid to remove ads, but don’t care for the level structure, just want the puzzles- not sure why no developer has yet made a game like this with easy, medium and hard options rather than levels with one easy and one less so. I deleted this the same day I downloaded it.

Redo arrow not working. Before it updated, I could go on forever. Yes, I paid for no ads. If I mess up, I can’t hit the redo button, because it doesn’t work anymore. It wasn’t like that before. I could play for hours and then I noticed it had 5 lives added. I think I liked it because it was unlimited and I could try and try over and over. You could also watch ads for the gems and now you can’t. Thinking of uninstalling.

Not Connected to the Internet!. This is an addictive game and can be lots of fun to play. I, however, will be deleting this game because the sign that says “No Internet Connection” will not go away. I play other online games with no issue but this one has that perpetual sign in the middle of the board and won’t go away. Very frustrated with this situation as this is a good game but the frustration level is unacceptable. Fare well and good luck. I wish I could upload a pic of the message for proof but I can’t.

App skips levels without warning. In the middle is a level, if you go to the shopping cart, you lose your chance to finish the level. There is no way to go back to previously executed levels in order to replay. This is not satisfying for a game that is supposed to be relaxing. Also too easy to accidentally skip levels, then no way to go back.

I LOVE THIS APP. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This nuts and bolts game is addictive and minimal ads! With minimal ads, I can actually play this game without interruptions every 5 seconds. The challenges are just the right balance of tricky and satisfying, keeping me hooked for hours on end. Plus, minimal ads!!! This makes me happy because most of my games has ads every five seconds. If you're looking for a game that's both fun and hassle-free, this is it!

Not bad, but…. The puzzles can definitely be tricky, but none so far have been impossible (although I have had to add an extra hole a time or two to get myself out of a jam.) However, I was extremely disappointed to find that after a time the puzzles just started repeating, and it quickly became very boring because it was too easy to remember the secrets for success. The only way I’ll really enjoy this again is if I put it down for a long time and give myself a chance to forget. This defeats the entire purpose of having a game to play, in my eyes. I want a game that is fun for more than just a day or two.

Ads galore! Game goes black!. Don't pay to have ads removed! I paid $5.99 to get no ads! What a waste of money! I see no difference in the number of ads I have to endure. The game itself is fun and challenging, but if you don't finish a puzzle before the time is up, you have to watch an ad. Want to reset a level? Watch an ad. The only way to escape watching ads is to pay for "unlocks". Want to reset? Watch an ad. Game play and ad watching take equal parts of time. I was going to silently put up with the ads, but now the game has gone dark. I closed the app and reopened. I've turned the phone off and back on. The app opens to the point where I click on the button to start the level and it goes black. I can escape from the game and everything else on the phone is fine. I see others are complaining about the black screen.

Good for first 500 levels. It’s good for first 500 levels and gives you the option to watch ads to get a boost which I think all games should have. However after completing all the art (got to the end) and 500 level, u will start to see duplicate boards. Just had one I played a few boards back.

Addictive game but with annoying issues. I became addicted to this game and was thinking of giving a 5 but then issues popped up. I did not mind watching the ads to get an extra hole for a hard puzzle, but At upper levels it brings in "lives". You get 5 lives before having to watch an ad or pay for more lives. After the 5th reboot of a hard puzzle it forces watching the ads to continue, giving only one life each time. The nail in the coffin (or screw as it may be) was when my lives were all used up with a puzzle that had the annoying rocking bears and no open holes to move a screw to. The bears were covering the holes. This had happened before but a reset (using up a life) opened a hole to start. The last one was reset three times with no open hole either time and using my last lives. The fun has gone from this game. I am deleting it.

Misleading App. I downloaded this app for free. I got tired of watching all of the stupid game advertisements with practically each click within the game. I decided to purchase the app and a compliment package to the app so the game would become “ad free!” Ad free??? Yeah right! There were plenty of ads strewn throughout the game. Ads just to free up a bolt and ads to create an additional hole to park a bolt inside to free up more holes. This app needs to be honest with its customers. Listen, ad free means exactly that. AD FREE THE ENTIRE GAME. I feel scammed and cheated. I’ve requested a refund from the Apple App Store. Hopefully THEY WILL do me right.

Too many Ads. WAY too many ads. A 30-60 second add pops up after every other level and a bunch of pop up ads that you click through come up after completing the other levels. An ad pops up in the loading screen. An ad pops up if you’ve been away longer than 30 seconds from the game. Shorter ads will play right after longer ads and there’s no getting around them. Makes for a terrible experience. Do not recommend this game. The puzzles were interesting but not worth the ads

There ARE ads — even when you pay for NO ADS!. Tried several of its kind before deciding on this one. Liked it enough to pay for the Ad Free version. I like this game BUT it gets only 1 star because I don’t reward deception. Don’t waste your money because the “ad free” version DOES have ads. Not as many, they sneak them in before each level. I wish I could get my money back. Why can’t developers just be honest? NOTE TO DEVELOPER: Either keep your word by removing ALL ads or stop false advertising that we can have an AD-FREE for a fee. You have a good game, but the deception is unacceptable. You’re better than that!

DON’T PAY FOR AD FREE VERSION!!!. I enjoy this game and paid to get rid of ads. After a while, they force you to watch ads by not allowing you to reset a game when you don’t have any moves left. If you’re stuck, and don’t have any hearts or resets left, your only option is to watch an ad. I really wish I didn’t pay for no ads since now when I want to restart a game, I am forced to watch a full length ad (seems like some are over a minute long). DON’T PAY FOR THE NO AD VERSION.

Do you like ads?. Do you like watching 1 to 2 minute long ads 2-3 times per level due to the timer, extra hole, level reset, the ad before the level starts or after the level ends. Would you rather watch ads or just grab some screws, a board and a cordless drill? Because that is the only way to do anything resembling this game without being interrupted by an ad. An ad every five minutes would give you 12 an a hour an probably more people would see them than every 60-90 seconds and having people close out

Entering, or at least it used to be…. I don’t play this puzzle game often, but it’s now impossible to play due to the giant “No internet connection…” banner blocking the middle 3rd of the screen. I assure you, I have internet connection, but not matter how long I leave the game open in hopes that it will realize this, the banner never goes away. It’s fully updated, but because of the banner’s location, I can’t report the issue as this function is also blocked from view.

Nuts Bolts what are the gold coins?. OK, so I started playing this game over a week ago I’m already on level 138 obviously I do not play this all day, but I do enjoy the challenge. However, what in the world with all the gold coins? I have a ton of them and yet there is no purpose to them. Please explain what are the gold coins for. It be better if we could actually redeem them for tickets.

Where are my free daily gems?. I like this game. Enough to purchase the VIP monthly pass. It’s supposed to give me 120 free gems every day but I did not see them added to my account and I don’t see a place for me to manually add them. So I’m not sure what to do about that since the support email doesn’t seem to be working. Other than that it’s fun and I like a good puzzle.

I want a refund!. I purchased this game when it was released so I didn’t have to watch adds. Now they have changed the game so I have to watch adds again and they’ve added “hearts” so I can’t reset levels without losing hearts and then have to wait or watch more adds to play again. Game isn’t worth it since the stupid levels just repeat over and over again anyway. Don’t bother downloading and definitely don’t spend money! I want a refund of the money I spent purchasing the “Add Free” version since that doesn’t exist! This developer should be banned from the Apple Store for deceptive practices and lies.

Fun and addictive. This is a really fun game. There’s Ads and no more than any other free game if you aren’t going to pay for the full version, which for $3.99 I’ve considered. Few of things to note. Higher levels do not mean harder. Some of the higher levels are much easier than the lower ones. Secondly, the Art levels are worth playing, even though they tend to be easier and you do have to watch a video to play. Thirdly, after level 100, you will start seeing the same puzzles again. All in all, I recommend this game. Enjoy!

Offensive ads - watch your kids. There is an ad for a ‘billiard’ game that suggests one can remove a young woman’s clothing one piece at a time by making successful pool shots. Inappropriate, degrading to women and likely something you wouldn’t want a young person being exposed to while playing an apparent safe ‘puzzle game’ I enjoy this game but prefer not to play until ads like this are removed. Developers need to be aware of what types of advertisements are being shown. Particularly when a player is watching an ad to receive free game upgrades.

Impossible. Yes, the ads are the primary excuse to not play games, I understand completely. I’ve seen ads that are very similar and follow the exact same pattern but made by a different developer team. If a game gives you ads every few seconds, you either have to pay to remove them (not recommended), or turn off the internet and cellular (recommended). However some games require the internet or cellular service to even be usable. If you don’t have that, the game becomes unplayable either with ads every second or can’t connect to the internet. Even if you do connect, you’ll just get ads. And with this combination, just don’t play. Thanks for nothing. I have deleted these games and don’t plan to do anything with these types of games anymore.

Starts well but then….. Game is enjoyable but after reaching level 246 any attempt to play the next level results in a black screen which requires closing out of the app. Tried deleting and reloading and game worked until reaching level 246 when the black screen returned. Issue has been fixed!

I’m enjoying the game. Nuts and bolts review I just completed 100 games on this new app. It has become one of my favorite games. If you read the critics they will tell you that there are too many ads or it is boring or that it occasionally repeats. First, I seldom write reviews but this is a new game and if one wants it to succeed or fail, write a review. Mine is for its success. I must admit, I’m ad tolerant. I think of ads as someone else paying for me to play the game. We are interrupted by commercials on TV and we are paying for the TV! Plainly put the game is not boring. While some levels are quite easy others are more challenging all are fun to solve. Does it repeat? Perhaps I have experienced one or two but I’m not complaining. This is a new game with at this writing fewer than 300 comments. Give them a break as they continue to improve this game. I personally like it. No I don’t know anyone that has any relationship with the producers. I’m just liking the game.

Fun and challenging. If you enjoy a good challenge then try this game. It starts out easy but gets more complicated and challenging as you proceed through the game. It keeps your mind working to figure out what the best thing to move should be next and where it should go. However it’s a fun challenge to play.

Fun and challenging, minimal Ads!. Much better than the first nuts and bolts option that comes up. That one is just a bunch of long Ads and you can never move forward without watching 35 of them every five seconds. And it’s timed, if you miss the time window, here’s some more Ads! 😡This one is challenging, but fun, only a few ads and you have the option to pay $4 if you don’t want ads forever. I mean, if that’s something you despise.. but one every now and then I don’t care about. And they’re not long. Not like some other games that have three 4 min ads. Ain’t nobody got time for that!! Thank you for making a fun game and not punishing us for wanting to play it!

Stuck. I hey Given You For Stars I’m Stuck And Level Two Hundred fifty four. It’s not fair that you pay so you don’t have to watch those ads and then all of a sudden the game stops at a specific level. It shows that there are more levels. You just can’t go forward on it. I wrote to the developers but they did not respond.

Great Game. This game makes you think a little and use a little bit of strategy which I like, but they also throw in some unsolvable puzzles that can really be annoying. I just finished level 200, there were no puzzle pieces left. On the board yet the game would not move on like normal when a game is finished so these glitches are annoying! I stopped using other similar games because they were timed, I may have to stop this one if these problems happen everyday like they have been!

Purchases not applied. No support. I enjoy the game but only when it works like it’s supposed to! I’m also someone willing to make in app purchases to make the time I spend more enjoyable. I’ve paid for “VIP” passes twice now and they have not been fully applied either time. Usually they only work for a couple of days, or only some of the embedded rewards are applied. I’ve tried updating, “restoring purchase” and I’ve also reached out to the developer via their site (form doesn’t work) and email (no response). Again, I’m happy to pay, I just want to get what I pay for!!! Another issue I will mention here — there are several levels that are impossible (no empty spaces from the start). This means I have to watch a video or purchase “gems” to skip. Super frustrating.

Needs help. I enjoyed this game for a while despite having to watch 30 second videos to earn a fix. Then they eliminated the option of being able to replay the level, to try to win it, you can only skip it. Also, there is a lot of repetition of puzzles which is boring. Then, more recently, the animation is faulty eg. the graphics freeze up or you are unable to place a screw where it should logically go so you are unable to complete the level. I am deleting this app; there are other similar apps that work much better.

Great game but…. It’s too difficult to earn gems to help keep you going. Also, I now cannot play because it crashes every time I open the app. Not sure what happened. I wish it wasn’t so hard or frustrating to earn gems, mainly thru watching ads over and over. That’s totally annoying. I do really love playing the game. I just wish it wasn’t so annoying to actually continue playing. Not that I don’t want it to be challenging, but the over use of watching ads for everything makes me want to delete the app and try something else. I hate saying that because it’s a super game to play.

Much to many ads laid on to often.. Suggestions The commercials are for too long. 45 to 55 seconds, two hundred times a day. Why the 5 more seconds countdown after the rejection. After we see the results for 5 seconds we know if we want to check it out. After two hundred times a day we know them all by heart anyway. The same commercials ten times in a row, Just think about it. I understand commercials, I don’t understand bombardment. And then your arm gets tired from having to punch the same button multiple times go to the next step to delete ads. I spend more time trying to delete the ads than playing the game. Why not a 5 second ad it will do the same thing. Build something to earn points to keep the game going for ever.

WAYYY too many ads. I don’t even write reviews often I just can’t seem to restart a puzzle once without a 30 second ad popping up. Literally one wrong move can mean you have to sit through an ad again just to try again. The undo button costs in game currency that you only get by completing levels or watching ads. Either way you have to watch an ad. Genuinely makes me not want to play. An ad after every completed level would be better. Heck, an ad every COUPLE retries would be better. But it’s EVERY. OTHER. RETRY.

Stuck on level 1055, please fix!!. I’m on level 1055 and can’t go any further because when I tap on the level to play, the screen is blank. It’s been like this for about a week now. If I still want to play more, I have to select the art or hard mode, not quite as fun, because the art level eats up your lives which is only 5 of them. So I can only play the art level 5 times then have to wait until the time for each life to plus up. Please fix this. Otherwise, the game is fun and sometimes challenging, but fun to play, nonetheless.

Thanks for a way to suppress ads. I tried at least three other games in this style. Fun puzzles but I had to endure long ads between puzzles. I LOVE this game. A lot of fun, a nice mix of some easy ones and hard ones. This is a game worth downloading and buying out of the ads — very cheap.

Great game far too many ads. The game is fun and clever. I am a Two Dots fan and there isn’t an ad every time a level is completed. This game I think I am spending more time watching or not watching ads than actually playing the game. Perhaps let three or four levels go before making me watch yet another ad. As much as I like the game, I am probably going to delete it because the ads are too many and too long.

too many ads. I really enjoy the metal sounds when the pieces are falling, and the puzzles. I would like to keep playing the game, but I can't stand the ads anymore.

Don’t buy “remove all ads”. I like this game despite the repeating levels so I decided to remove the ads so I could play more without frustration. What’s frustrating about that is now there is no way for me to play the 2 new modes without purchasing gems with more money. Kind of ridiculous that you pretty much get punished for spending money. Definitely won’t be spending any more money on this.

It's good. It's a good game but on the adds it says level 2 is extreme so j got the app and level 2 was the easiest one

Play Time. Great game, and addictive! However the play time is far less than the ad time. The hard levels take a bit of thought. Some of the other levels can be done in 10 - 15 seconds, then the ad is 30 seconds, Tip the balance the other way, please. I’m starting to feel a sense of ad boredom…

Glitch?. I don’t know if it’s intentional or if I’ve found a hidden settings menu. But if you spam “Level” it brings up a menu. Other than that like everyone else says there are way too many ads to enjoy the game and find it fun. And I believe after level 100 it just repeats levels.

Too May ads. It’s a fun game but the ads are driving me crazy so I am deleting it. I don’t mind some ads but with this game there are more ads than game. TOO MUCH PEOPLE!! Got the message??

Too many ads and all ads have elevated audio noise. This app is so full of video ads spoiling any please in using it. The ads appeared also to turn on the speaker and somehow are louder than expected. Deleted this app.

Nuts and bolts. Love this game but lose interest fast because of the constant ads I’ve never had a game that has so many ads. It turns me off the game

Horrible game. This game is repetitive and boring you get spammed with ads with no break finish a level ad. you blinked ad. Don’t buy this!

Ads are locking difficult level. The new layer of ads superimposed over the previous layer now locks the “hard” levels into a black screen. No amount of tapping on the screen will revive it. Developers! Your greed has stuffed a good game! Dump your greedy money grubbing ads and give us the game back. Commercial wisdom will tell you lots of happy customer paying small amounts to remove ads far outweigh the one or two you will soon have left. You “profit” margin will plummet. FIX IT or lose it!

Where’s the Game?. I liked it but there are too many ads. Since this weekend, it won’t load for me at all. I just get a black screen and an ad banner at the bottom

Rip off. You pay money for no adds and then you can’t access the full game without watching adds. Or you don’t get the full game experience without watching adds. So you pay for less adds and then have a really annoying experiences of adds interfering with the game. The game is constantly steering the player to watch adds. Avoid.

NUTS AND BOLTS. I absolutely love this game

Spoiled by ads. Good game but I spend more time watching repeating ads than I do playing the game….. it’s a shame as I enjoy the game concept. I will be deleting this game because you the copious amount of ads

Require ads to pass levels. Good concept, but annoying you cannot pass levels without ‘paying’ for extras. Dodgy game - don’t bother.

Don’t even bother. You get an ad just OPENING the app, then an ad at the end of every level regardless of win or lose. And it can’t be played offline either. Just horrific to even attempt to play.

Not too bad a game. It’s good but lots of ads and levels repeat.

Long ads. More than 50% of the time is waiting for ads to finish. I expect ads on a free app, but they are too long and play between levels and when restarting a level. Makes it boring when you’re watching ads for more time than you’re playing the game

Improvements?. Version 2024.4 was identified as bug fixes and improvements. Where is the improvement in ads not being able to be exited and loading a web page while the game is black in the background? Where is the improvement in the game being rendered unplayable. Fix this and I’ll revise your one star score. Until then the best you get is my scorn and contempt. Test your code before you roll it out.

Another pathetic platform for ads. More ads than game Don’t waste your time

SCAM. Paying to remove ads doesn’t remove them no matter how many times you try to restore purchases.

Too many ads!!. You'll spend twice as much time watching ads as you will playing the game.

Nuts and bolds screw game. The game is interesting but the ads are very intrusive. Not only there are plenty of ads but also ads fill up half of the screen when I’m playing. When I swipe to remove the ad it automatically ( purposely) takes me to those websites. I then have to close everything and restart the game. Waste of my iPad space & my time.

Delete. Good game but why would we need a internet connection and so many ads?

Don’t buy.. To many ads and up to level 256 screen is just black. Happened in an earlier level but came right. Waste of money.

Too many ads. Too many ads

It’s bad. Can you play one game and it goes to an ad and the only way to stop that is to delete a game and never played again or pay money to remove the ads otherwise around half the time you’re actually in the game you are watching ads. The game is very simple, and when it does get hard is purposefully made for you to watch ads just so you can finish the game The game is the visually designed for them to make money of ads, and it’s very very obvious within 10 minutes of playing it.

Frustrating black screen. I’ve enjoyed playing this game for awhile now but I find the adds are too long. Close to 1 minute or longer. Recently the hard level is just a black screen and I was able to just skip the level to the next one. But now the level that I’m on is the same but I can’t skip past it at all. Really frustrating.please fix it.

More ad time than game time.. If you like watching ads this is the game for you. What a bunch of greedy people. Yes, they need to get paid for their work. Just how much money will they make if I DELETE the game? Ads every 3 or 4 games and I will be playing the game a lot more. Also, how entitled can you be? Asking for a rating after the first game.

Still the best. New format is good. Up to 80 with 30 gems and paid for ad removal only. Unbiased review see my others.

Not bad but overloaded with ads. Seems like a good game but you spend most of your time watching ads so didn’t get far into it and then deleted it

Toooo many adds. Estimated 15-30 seconds of game play 1min of adds. Adds both before and after each 10-15 second game

Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Ads. Get it. Just ads

Ads. Another review suggested they pay to avoid ads, so the company would get revenue. You can set the game up properly to begin with. It’s supposed to be a fun and free game. I’m not going to pay to increase your revenue. Not a chance!

Debug. Tried to restart the level but I entered debug?

Black screen. Enjoy game but when clicking on level, I get a black screen

Ads. The ads are too frequent and incredibly annoying. But now you have gone from ridiculous to unacceptable and pathetic. A 120 second countdown clock, then to 4 separate download screens. Over 3 minutes for one stupid level! Limit your ads to 30 seconds. Next time I get a 2 minute timer, your game is gone.

More ad than play time. Tried for 30 min. Spent more time watching ad than playing

Stuck on level 503 won’t open. Black. Loved it until level 503 just a black page. That’s it. No matter how many times I try it won’t open. Finished Art and Difficult levels so it’s over. Too bad I liked it

Meh. Ton of adds and repetitive levels, I got to like level 40 and they all started repeating

Tellement juste des annonces…je l’ai tu dis? Trop d’annonces…. Trop d’annonces…trop…trop…trop….tellement juste des annonces,tu gagne ,un annonce…tu perds,un annonce…tu refais le niveau,un annonce….le niveau se fait en 8 secondes,un annonce de 30 secondes….trop…

Paid for No Ads!. So why am I bombarded with an ads that are repeated 2-3 times?

Too many adds. I probably would’ve given it five stars if there weren’t so many damn ads. You can only play one turn before an add pops up. It’s too much. And the adds are too long.In this day and age, it doesn’t take more than 1 or 2 seconds to catch the idea of what’s being shown to you on the screen.

Great screws/nuts puzzle game. Tried 4 different screws/nuts puzzle games and this is the only one without a level timer so you can think about your moves without being pressured. Even though there’s still plenty of ads, this one’s been the most enjoyable to play with fun puzzles.

Repeated levels. I am on level 300 and levels have been repeated multiple times. It is annoying. It doesn’t necessarily get harder the higher you go. The difficulty changes from level to level. You can have a really hard level followed by a really easy level. However, because it causes you to problem solve, I tend to come back to it.

Garbage game nothing but ads. A good concept ruined by greedy corporation

Not worth it. I agree with one review, ad time is greater than playing time. At some point, you just keep on repeating the same puzzles over and over again. Your level is going up, but the puzzles are the same.

No internet. I have full bars of wifi but it kept saying “ No iNtERneT connection” it getting annoying and make it no wifi please!

Different. Challenging game, thought provoking, however there should be rewards for every level.

Soooooo many ads.. The game is fun enough but the amount of ads is insane. I know that’s how they make their money and you can pay to get ad free but this is ridiculous. Ads when you sign on, after you beat a level, if you need a free spot etc… got tired of watching ads more than I was able to play so I deleted it.

More ad time than game time garbage. Don’t bother. Ad time is greater than game time

This is gre…. Oh… ads. This was a rather interesting game…. One that actually made you think a bit. Then the ads started rolling… an ad after every level for 12 levels? Come on guys… there is more to it than just monetizing the game.

dont loose your time. cant play without wifi, ads every 5sec its pure junk

Bad. Was unhappy I could not play without internet

after the last update.. I used to really liked this game until the developers changed the format i wish i could go back and redo the puzzle again if i failed it.

Bad game, do not get.. It has far too many ads, and is a repetitive game, that sometimes will repeat levels. I rate it 2/10, as it is a little enjoyable at first.

Lent. Lent et trop de pub

Ads. All of a sudden, I have to watch an ad to play the hard levels but the ad never ends and I don’t get to play that level as I have to restart the game, it then goes to a different level. Please fix this issue. Can’t even play now

Too many ads. I get that the developer needs the income from ads for, well, development. But there is an after every level. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. Too bad. Fix this and it would be an enjoyable game

too many ads. ads every after single level and when u open the app total waste of time

Major issues.. This could be a really good game except for the issues. Levels that are unlocked are treated as locked and require diamonds or watch a video to unlock. Even after paying to remove adds still get continually offered pack which remove ads. If you pay these stupid pop ups should NOT keep showing, that is the whole point of paying!!! As mentioned keeps randomly repeating levels, the programmers need to stop being lazy. So as much as could be a good game don’t bother even downloading until these issues are fixed. Wish I could get a refund!!

Full of ads. I hate it This game has a lots of ads when you finished one round ad starts again and again in each round pile of ads

Too many ads. Kinda fun but ads galore: when you finish a level, when you need a hole, when the game blocks further moves!

Too many ads!. At LEAST one ad every level - often two! Sheesh!!

Ads disrupt gameplay. Great game if the ads didn’t disrupt gameplay constantly. I understand that these games need to run ads, but I shouldn’t have to sit through a 90 second ad just to advance to the next level. If the ads were limited to bonuses and cheats, I would consider reinstalling this game.

10seconds play 1 min of videos. Delete delete delete First try play didn’t even last 10 seconds, then this king game add of more than a minute. That is to much video

Was better without the lives. I loved the game until you added the lives. Some levels take more them 5 tries to finish.

Just let the game be simple. All people download this game for is to clear the board of the planks once you get to the higher levels they add in stupid things like ladybugs that sit on the screws so you can’t move them or wood rings just falling from the top of your screen

Need more levels. Levels are repeating… don’t pay to remove ads … Got scammed

So much advertisement longer than playtime. So annoying time of advertisement is longer that play time

Watch out for this developer!. As everyone else has said. This game is more ad time than game time (significantly more ads than game). Devs are just in it for a quick cash grab. It’s a horrible consumer experience - just like the other games they make.

Enjoyable. but too many ads

Worthless game. Two second level, 30 second ad, no thank you.

Development issue. I got to level 218 on the classic puzzles and it just stopped working. There is no way of getting in to the next level without a continuous black screen and some random constant ad at the bottom. When I try to exit out of the ad it just sends me straight to the App Store. I can’t play or do anything else on this game. The game was fun to play but the development point of view is garbage. Please fix it.

Awful. Game is unplayable due to ads, higher ad time then game time its awful

Too many ads. I would pay to play without ads because it’s a great puzzle but right now the numbers of ads makes it unplayable. Too bad, I’m deleting!!!

System went black. I reached level 3685 and now the level opens to a blank screen.

Repeated levels. Some levels are repeated randomly. It is enoying.

Since the Update. Since the update I have not been able to get into this app. I gets to the page to choose the game in it you want to play and will not let you into the game.the screen goes black and that’s as far as it goes. I have requested that the game owners look into this but it’s been a couple of weeks and nothing has been done.

Purchased game and still being asked for money. Loved the game and purchased it. Only issues was it demanded Internet access so I could not enjoy on a plane ride. Latest update requires me to pay more so I can enjoy new aspects of the game. Sounds like the developers are only interested in new purchases and do not care about people who supported them in the past.

Ad crazy.. The amount of ads makes it nearly impossible to play.

Why does this game need internet?. Only point is the ads. If off wifi a prompt takes up like 2/3 of the screen. Ads spam so much it’s annoying as hell, plus they mute the game sound breaking it

Nuts & Bolts Game. Great game, nice and challenging, great graphics, as well.👍😄🫶🏻❤️👌

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

How to find solution. I like the game, but have to take breaks from it because of the long ads. The 5 seconds ads are tolerable. I have tried to find the solution for harder puzzle with google, but there does not seem to be any posted solution for this version.

Gameplay ceases at certain levels. The game was pretty fun and challenging for months. When the classic levels got a bit boring, there were hard and art levels that made the game fun again. However, the art and hard levels became unavailable. Now the classic levels are unavailable as well. It was fun while it lasted, but I will be uninstalling this game.

Too Many Long Ads. i really liked this game at first, but as I progressed, I had to watch way too many ads. The ads were repetitive and unusually long . As I got higher in the levels, the same ad played repeatedly, the Tile family, and the ads started taking 60 seconds to get through. Paying for no ads was a scam, since it removed no ads. It finally got to be too much, so I have had enough. Goodbye.

Sad. I enjoy this type of game but with all the ads and constant interruptions makes it very stressful and not enjoyable. I won’t keep it because it’s not fun at all just frustrating

Level 1195. I LOVE this game. Unfortunately at level 1195, when I click on it, my screen goes black. Time to find another game to play until I can figure out the problem. I will be back once I can get it working for level 1195.

Fun, but there are issues. I’vevenjoyed this game in general.. However, there are some puzzles with no possible solutions. I’ve completed over 500 of them. Some have no room for a hole to be purchased. You either purchase or watch the video for the extra hole and it is placed partially covered, making it unusable. Please fix this!

Just an ad filled cash grab. Tried it out because I was curious how this game could be challenging at all. It’s not. Just keep two screws on a piece until it’s clear to leave and you can’t lose. But really make sure you don’t miss-click or you're in for a 1 minute unskipable ad everytime. Then I noticed the hard mode and got excited. But no, those are impossible unless you watch an ad to unlock a new slot. Then it’s the same as all the others.

Ads Nuts and Bolts. Got to level 26 before I tapped out. The game is actually fun but for every level you beat you must watch an ad to continue. At this point on the phone your app will be judged on how many ads we have to watch to enjoy your game. There are way too many games that have figured it out and have a great balance but this was more ad watching than playing. Let me know when you fix it I might download it again!

Great game so many ads. The game is great and all but the ads are so long. Most games with ads you can play on no internet but this game you can not it won’t even let you play with no internet. The game is fun but the ads could be worked on.

Black Screen on Level 203. I have been enjoying the game until I tried to start level 203. When I did that, it just came up with a black screen with a banner ad on the bottom. I can’t get past this. I have seen this complaint in other reviews. Please fix.

I really liked this app... until. I was enjoying this app enough that I decided to pay for the permanent no add unlock. Because I was tired of ads between games. As soon as I paid for it??? Replay level requires spending gems or watching an ad. Want to play an art level? Watch an ad or pay gems. What in the world did I pay my money for??? If you can handle the ads, enjoy the game free.... but do not pay to get rid of ads, it is just a waste of your money.

Ads not removed despite payment. Really liked this game & paid to remove all ads. The only thing that got removed was $4.23 from my pocket. Tried restoring purchase-no change. Completely uninstalled, reinstalled & restored purchase-there was a change: even more ads-got caught in an ad dup loop over and over. Went to get a refund only to find refunds weren’t available. Now I know why this game has the word “screwed” in its title.

$1.99 to remove ads for 1 day??. Uninstalled, it's one of those games where you spend more time watching ads than playing, but the most ridiculous thing is that when I open it it gives me a "limited time offer" to spend two bucks to remove ads for ONE DAY. This is shown as a "discount" from a "normal price" of $7.96, which makes no sense since that's more than removing ads permanently costs. Feels like it's trying to trick people who don't see the "24H" part.

Puzzle repeat after lvl 100. I think this app better than other ones like it, but after level 100, they started reusing puzzles. I haven’t seen a new one since. I don’t mind adds between games, or even to get “undo”s, but you can’t even refresh without getting an ad. It’s a little excessive for my taste. It’s fun, but the fun is not long lasting.

Like this kind of puzzle. I tried other puzzles like this and ended up removing it because of a timer that could not be removed. This version has no timer, and that is a lot better for my personal situation.

too many ads.. I get that you get paid for having ads, but there’s just too many. i genuinely will not enjoy this game if there continues to be so many ads. need to restart right after opening the app? boom an ad. finish a level? boom another ad. like i cannot breathe with the amount of ads there are. this is more than the typical amount of ads i’ll see on a free mobile game. i hate it and i know other people do too.

One add they show is horrible. The game is fun and there are minimal adds, but one add they do allow in their app is for a spelling game, and when the “x” comes up to close it, it is so small that I spend easily 3 minutes trying to get the thing to register that I have tapped it. I swear, that add comes up one more time, I’m deleting this game and leaving an even harsher review.

Looping levels & annoying gimmicks. If you want to play 20 levels over and over again on repeat but ladybugs block your moves so you have to move a different screw into the empty slot and then you can move the original one you wanted into that screws slot, effectively adding no puzzle value, just a pure waste of your time? Well watch an ad between every single level and you can play such a game!

AMAZING. A true GENIUS wrote this game! I can play for hours, never get tired of it, each level is interesting, somehow different, and I can feel myself getting smarter!!!! I don’t know of a better game out there—-thank you!❤️👏🏻

Not fun to play. Some of the levels are somewhat challenging, the sheer amount (and duration) of ads make this game painful to play. Most of the ads run between 45 and 60 seconds, and some levels force you to watch 2 separate ads in order to complete the level. My game stopped working altogether after level 394. The ad at the beginning of level 395 locks up and never loads, which means level 395 never starts.

Watch ads, the game. Starting a level starts an ad, finishing a level starts an ad, restarting a level starts an ad, using a power up starts an ad. Even starting the game takes you to an ad. The concept isn’t bad for a puzzle game, but it’s ruined by endless ads. They even offered a special where you could pay a few bucks to turn off the ads… for 24 hours only.

Unethical. Save your time and your money. The game itself is sort of fun, but you have to keep watching about two minutes worth of ads every few minutes. By the time the ad is over, I’ve forgotten what my strategy was going to be. I paid $3.99 to be “ad free” and I still have just as many ads. It’s a total rip off. And there’s no way to contact them about it. And Apple will not refund my money. Don’t fall for it.

Level 22 glitch. Level 22 has a glitch where if you make the green piece fall red before you trigger the saw, the level will never complete since the saw chases after the green piece which is falling forever

Impossible to finish levels. In order to finish level, you have to get rid of a screw or add a hole. You have to watch an add or pay. I have tried tried to watch the adds but the screen goes black. There is no add to watch. So you’re never able to move onto the next level. It is so frustrating to never be able to watch the ad to move on. Impossible to win.

Fun concept - wayyyy too many ads. You can’t even get ad free version. Pay $2 for no ads for a day. No doubt the person that came up with that concept got a fat bonus that quarter. Ads after every single thing you do. Win - ad. Lose - ad. Reset - ad. Take a call and come back - ad. Power up - ad. Bonus - ad. Deleted. If you have that many bills to pay, you need to rethink operating expenses.

Brenda Hensley. I really enjoy the game; it can be fun and challenging. The ads will be the deal breaker. They are relentless, and some are SO LONG. When they start coming up so often, you are spending a lot more time watching ads than playing the game. It becomes the opposite of fun and relaxing at that point. And to have no ads, it’s $2 for 24 hours. What?!

Puzzles repeat. When you get up to levels 1800 + They just rotate through about a half a dozen puzzles you keep getting the same ones over and over and over again this game would be a lot of fun if they would have more puzzles in the mix. Hope they get an update soon.

Fun. This is a fun n challenging game. Just getting tired of having the no internet connection pop up every few seconds even tho the connection is good! Update- changed rating down to one star! It’s bad enough to get bombarded with ads but the constant pop up of no internet connection every few seconds is ridiculous! All my other games work fine but not this one! 😡

Game statistics. So it’s just not really a fun game. All you do is figure out what to do for unbolting these planks or smth and this is basically just a copy of more games. They have ads every 4 levels and also a ad at the bottom. And they make you wait 15 or 20 mins for a heart or life every time you lose one by resetting. And you can only reset 5 times before having to wait or watch an ad for the heart

Nuts and Bolts. They updated and then the game went to a place where you couldn’t really play much because they change the rules, so they could intice you to purchase more this or more that. Don’t start this game because it’s unplayable as you move up in levels. Most games I’m seeing that’s how they role, but not with me ever again. “ only one time to view a commercial to give you a chance to open a bolt hole.” Good luck with you profitability !

Fun to play. This game is fun to play and the ads are usually at the end of the level and they are brief. There is an option to play ad-free for a small fee which is more reasonable than some of the other games.

Levels repeat too much. As soon as I purchased no ads in the game it started repeating levels. I’m on level 175 and have seen the majority of these levels before on the same device, same game. A lot of the levels I have seen them in previous levels three or four times. So it’s obvious they haven’t made enough levels and keep repeating them so that we’ll keep playing and keep making them money through the ads.

😩. I’ve been playing this game only for a few levels now. I’ve come across a couple that are seemingly impossible. Now there’s one with at least thirty bolts in it with only one hole open. Now this surely can’t be beat! What is the reason for this only to wreck your nerves. What is the sense if you will have to use skip on it. 👎🏻

Paid but still ads & timer. Don't waste your money. Great game. Paid the "starter" fee on this one but nothing changed, still frequent ads, even after restarting the game several times. Will gladly pay a one-time, even a small monthly fee to get rid of the timer as well as the ads so I can enjoy the game. This one did *not* deliver what I paid for. And no support or refund, of course.

Repeats puzzles once you get to higher level. This game is a rip off. Once you get to level 350 all the puzzles repeat. I’m on level 445 and I’ve done every puzzle three times at this point. And I’ve done all the hard levels. But there are only 10! I regret buying the game. So don’t buy it and planned on only having fun with the game for a short time.

Ads to load game, ads after every level. I can almost deal with ads after EVERY level, like almost every other game nowadays, but ads to even load the game? Yes, as the game is loading you get an ad, and then you also get asked to pay to remove the ads, so basically you get two ads just starting the game. No thanks. Deleted after a few levels. Just way too many ads.

Its a Rootkit virus. As you go higher on your level. A virus will appear telling you yo call Kolkata, India. I don’t recommend any games that says you will win. This is a game that will steal your password in your bank account. FBI are still tracking other game activities that might under terrorist fundings. The threat to the United States remain at large. Please do not download any games that offer money. The people who advertised are generated by A.I. program.

A lot of fun but too many ads. It’s really a lot of fun. But it’s too many ads. I’m not paying $4 to remove ads. Ads are ok but sheesh you have to watch the whole 30–60 seconds of ads after every level and if you want to undo a move. It would be ok if you could skip an ad after 5 seconds. I will delete but it’s a good game.

Disappointed and deleting this game. I have really enjoyed the game even though I have had to watch a couple of ads to get through some tougher levels. I have reached level 77 and there are no open holes to drop a screw into, so you need to watch and ad to unlock a hole, but that is only one hole so to solve it I need to watch a second ad to remove a screw giving me 2 free holes to actually solve the puzzle. I also will not pay money to complete a level. If this is what it is like for level 77, how many ads will I need to watch for higher levels? Like I said it was very enjoyable up to this level.

Stuck. I like the game but the boards are repeating a LOT. Now I’m stuck on level 855. For the last few weeks, when I click on level 855 the screen goes black. The level never comes on. Also there are way too many ads.

Update to frustrated. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! So much better! Improved play… different levels… multiple ways to play levels. Thank you!!

Love the game but keeps freezing. I would play this game all day but it continuously freezes and I have to restart my phone to get it to work. The ads often goes to a black screen. I have deleted it several times but still continue to get the same result.

Oh well. You know, I really held out hope for this. Maybe it was more game than ads. Sadly looks like that’s not the case. Right off the bat you get a prompt where for $2 you can turn of ads for a whole 24 hours. Then, if by chance you’re able to make it through a level without having to watch an ad for an extra (and needed) hole, or to undo the last move, you are rewarded with an ad. Sadly, this app is more ad generator than game.

Fun Game BUT Too Many Ads. Don’t get me wrong, the idea of the game is great BUT ads whenever you open the app followed by another ad suggesting to buy the ad-free app. Finally you get to play a short level followed by at least another ad … No Thanks! More levels needed and 2-3 levels before an ad, only then will I reconsider.

Fun game but beware the ads for “free” helps. The ads average more than a minute. They pull the old trick that ad is a certain amount of time followed by another amount of time before you can close it. At the extreme this is 1 minute 20 seconds or more. Most are more than a minute.

Disappointed. I’ve been playing this game for a while and I got to level 2899 and the game froze. I’ve been waiting for a couple weeks for it to get fixed and it didn’t. I have to delete the game and reinstall it. Started me all over on 1! If not for that I would give 5 stars because I love it.

Too many adds. This is a very entertaining brain game. The only think that is very disappointing is the adds in between levels. Sometimes the add froze at end and you are stocked and can’t go back to the on going game. Is like you are been forced to download the new game app.

All Ads w/Little Play. Some of the levels are easy, but some of the harder ones are designed to make you watch several ads in order to clear. Some of the harder levels make you watch so many ads it takes over 15 minutes to clear with very little play time. I can’t even tell if I like the game enough in order to pay for ad free.

Not A Game. Merely a collection of ads that gives you something to do in between said ads. Move on to the next puzzle? Ad. Need to refresh a puzzle? Ad. Refreshing the same puzzle again for the hundredth time because the bolt supposedly can’t fit in that hole that barely has a shape brushing up against it? Hope you like ads, you’re gonna see at least a hundred more! I’m not even sure which has less variety, the ads they show you, or the puzzles they give you!

Ad central!. There are so many ads and not enough reviews are talking about it! It’s unbelievable how many there are and paying $4 to remove them is ridiculous. I love the game for what it is but I’m not paying 4 dollars to remove the copious ads they show. They’re all long and extremely repetitive. I’d feel much better waiting for someone to make a different version without all the ads.
