Great replacement for Vertex
11/26/2024

I was crushed when NYT cancelled Vertex. Looked for a replacement app and did not find this until recently. So happy I did. Isn’t identical to the “original”, but in all important ways, works just fine. I get so frustrated by ads, especially those that lock you in, I quickly opted for the Pro subscription, since this will be one of my main go-to puzzles every day. Thank you. I’m so very happy to have this! Developers: When I get through the pro puzzles, I don’t know yet whether I will be able to go backwards on the daily ones. As in, when December comes, will I be able to go back and pick up any un-done November ones? Can I in November go back for October? Suggestions: A bit more time to appreciate completed puzzle before going to animation. Thank you for adding number of connections to pro section instead of just question marks so user can choose complexity before opening. Great addition.

I loved Vertex on the NYT app and of course they got rid of it. Reddit mentioned this app as a good replacement, which it was, but there were definitely issues when I first downloaded it. For lack of a better explanation, it was not as “polished” as NYT’s Vertex. But the recent update they did has majorly improved the user experience. The issues I had such as some of my lines going to circles I didn’t pick is gone. The puzzles are detailed and take a decent amount of time. Well worth the monthly cost.

The actual puzzle is great. It’s a perfect replacement for NYT Vertex. 5 stars for the gameplay. I have two issues, one rather large and the reason for only 2 stars (which I will update if resolved). I pay $25/year for this app and it’s been 4 months since they’ve added new puzzles other than the daily puzzle. Seriously, they should be putting out weekly updates with new puzzles. Second, they added a comment feature that’s more frustrating than useful. I sense that we would build a positive community of Nodes players if we were allowed to reply to each other (like NYT Spelling Bee). As it is, you can make one comment per day. Period. No edits. No notifs. Now, I know the reason why. They are trying to prevent trolling and the need to moderate their comments but I doubt this game draws many teenage boys who enjoy rage baiting. Why not at least give it a chance?

Hi, Thanks for your feedback! We’ve been focusing on improving the app’s design and experience — we added puzzle comments, collections, and most recently the American Birds collection, along with many extra puzzles. We’ll continue adding more puzzles and content regularly. Thanks for supporting Nodes, and we hope you enjoy the latest updates! 😊

Like NYT version but lacking a bit

I was excited to find this after the NYT shut down their version. Aside from the ads which are long and annoying, this is quite similar. However the touch controls need a lot of work. I have small fingers and still I have to enlarge the puzzle to its maximum before my gestures are correctly followed. It also often tries to direct your swipe or gesture to the wrong anchor. With the puzzle zoomed in so far you totally lose the overall design, which is a large part of the fun of this game - to try to figure out what you’re building while you build it. As is, you’re just connecting dots, the result of which you can’t see until you’re finished, and after watching a 30-second ad.

Hello!Thank you for your feedback! Improving the gestures is our top priority, and we're actively working on enhancing them.As for the ads, we understand they can be disruptive—we’re not fans either. However, they are necessary to keep things running smoothly.
