Pros and cons of Colorbind app for iPhone and iPad

Colorbind app good for

The App is really cool, but a function which helps the player is important, for example you can put a button in a cornor of the screen. When the button you press the button the first point you should reach should glow or something like this, if youve reached the point and press the button the 2nd point glows and so on.
I fully mastered Colorbind with all Levels and archievements! I think im the First who Ever archieved that! Whats the Prize for my Genius Brain? I want a Big t-Bone Steak or something.
Plenty of levels, simple concept yet progressively challenging, looks great, can pick up and play anytime. Even if I had paid $5 Id still by happy with it.
The wonderful thing about games on the iPhone is that it lends itself to art styles unimaginable on other consoles. I just came from writing an enormous review for nonverbals other masterpiece, Monospace, so Ill keep this one brief. By the way, if you havent already seen Monospace and liked this game, I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out. Simply put, I love this games almost coy sense of beauty and sometimes bewildering symettry. The principle behind this puzzler is brilliant. Many, many levels with a comfortable learning curve that will probably have you hooked for days. Well worth 5x the price, but an absolute steal at its current cost. I really wish more games werent priced at $0.99.
This game is simply beautiful in the visual sense. The gameplay is outstanding. Puzzle solutions are thouroughly thought through with care, often leading to stunning patterns with the ribbons. What a treat for $1!
Another great puzzle game from Nonverbal! Very original idea and simple concept; a game that anyone can catch onto. If you like this game you should check out Monospace.

Some bad moments

App is down right now. Only a frozen intropic thats all I get.
The game doesnt start under iOS 9. Its a pity, I used to love it.
A very pretty, innovative, and challenging puzzle. But until they make it save your solutions and progress on puzzles it is just a frustrating waste of time. You should not have to start from scratch every time you reopen the app to work on a puzzle and you shoul not lose your solution to the previous puzzle when you move to the next one or close the app.
I cant believe so little care has gone into the app in 4 years. I usually see that with a big game developer, but I am surprised to find that here. My comments below were written weeks ago in hope of future update. But I wont hold my breath. I think the game looks really cool, but the controls are too crazy for me on my iPhone. Too hard to control, so Im constantly shaking the phone to restart. Considering that precise location is important at higher levels, the lack of precise controls is frustrating!! I just lost interest. I am going to keep it in my phone in hopes that a future update will work out the issues.
BEWARE: this app is broken in iOS9. It crashes on startup. Dont spend money on it. Its dishonest of the developer to keep it on sale in this state.
I have IOS 9 and this game wont even load past the opening screen anymore. Im not surprised considering it hasnt been updated in 6 years.
