Nerdle +4

Great game for math nerds. A little frustrating at times due to slow responses, but I can live with that. The newer variants, particularly Maxi, have added to my enjoyment. The ads at the bottom are unobtrusive but perhaps their reloading causes issues at times. I just noticed that they can be turned off for three days; that seems to improve the response time.

This app would genuinely be great if the ads didn't interfere with gameplay. Personally, having an ad at the bottom of my screen is not always a nuisance. However, in this case, things are different. Each time a new ad has to load in, it either causes my screen to move/glitch, or it resets my game. When my screen glitches, it's annoying, but when it resets my progress, playing the game is unbearable. I can never remember all of my guesses or re-input them, so I just end up quitting.

When I saw that Nerdle had an app, I was very excited because, unlike Wordle, instead of having to use an internet browser, I could just tap the app on my screen and start solving the puzzle. I also really enjoyed the calculator function that I could get to fairly easily, rather than having to open the calculator app on my phone. If I had no issues with the advertisements, I would have given this app a 5-star rating. However, until something is done about this issue, I will just have to use an internet browser to play Nerdle.

I play the nerdle every day and I just found out today there was an app. A few minor suggestions: 1. add an option to remove ads completely or make the ads smaller at the bottom of the screen, i feel like the ad takes up too much of the screen
2. remove double tap to zoom in, it makes it look like a clunky app
3. add a levels option so that you’re not forced to do the daily only, make the daily a seperate option. and don’t say the nerdle reply because it runs out at some point. i mean proper levels that you can play like any other game. (ex. candy crush)

At the moment I believe the website is better than the app because of the lack of ads and it’s not as clunky and weird as the app, but with these improvements it has the potential to be a 5 star game. I give it 3 stars because of the fact that it doesn’t give an app type of look, it feels like you just copy-pasted the website into the app.
