Differences - Find & Spot Them Reviews

by Dmaff06

This game is by far one of the worst ad filled games out there. Which is a shame because the game itself would be amazing without the ads. The developers and designer have made a beautiful and simple game that is very addictive. But it’s filled with ads and ad traps through the game. You get down to one thing left that is different, but you can’t find it. Then you have to hit the “HINT” button watch the ad and then it reveals the difference that was there all along staring you in the face. But I screen shot the game before and after the “ad hint” they engineered this so the difference only appears after you watch the ad. It’s very sad that they would structure their game so you can’t succeed until after you play the ads. I miss the days of ethical game designers when you downloaded a full game and got to play without waiting through ads of the same stupid garden puzzle app.

I was so excited to see this game. There’s a free local paper here that’s available at all the restaurants. They have one of these “find at least six this app” in the paper, and dad and I always challenged each other on it while we waited for a food.

THIS game however disappoints. First, it’s timed. What?! At least we should have a choice to have a timer. Second, it’s not nearly enough time. Third when you hit something wrong, it takes away like 30 seconds.I’ve accidentally tapped in a wrong place and lost time or it ended the game. How about adding time when we get it correctly? Fourth, you best not be color blind, because even with my good vision (with my glasses) and good lighting, the “difference“ is just a barely a shade off from one another. It’s ridiculous! Fifth, the music is OK, but not when it gets to that clock ticking sound. It’s irritating and reminds me that I’m running out of time. Sixth, way too many ads!!

Yesterday’s”update” removed the ability to zoom in on the image and find the this app. The support recommendation was to use ‘hint’ feature but that is actually a solution feature - removing the challenge and solving the puzzle. On an iPhone some images are nearly impossible to resolve due to low contrast/resolution.
They’ve taken a quite good game and made it an aggravating exercise. Plus an opportunity to watch more ads that are often the same one - time and time again. I’ve just about had my fill.
Update: The latest update returned the zoom feature, making it possible (But not guaranteed) to solve the tiniest this app. Fair enough! I really do like this game – I’ve played over 7000 different ones - so I hated to part with it. I’ll definitely give it another try. Thanks to the developers.

I’m a huge fan of nonograms and sudoku and finding this app games. Finding one that I like is really hard, and this one is the closest so far. Two dots has my absolute favorite but it’s only offered within the game about once a quarter. Junes journey is also good but again, only offered as part of a weekly or so competition.

Suggestions that I would need in order to keep the game and use it:

Offer timed and untimed setting. I like to do this casually and the timer is stressful and not set up well. Oversensitive taps cause extreme time loss.

Get rid of the item once found instead of circling it and letting it sit on the screen. It’s really distracting.

Better items to find. Finding an extra raindrop is no fun. That means counting the raindrops (or snowballs or snowflakes or lightbulbs in a string). That’s not finding a difference-that’s laziness on the developer’s part.

Make zooming more user friendly. (And again, back to the over sensitive taps).

My two biggest reasons right now for probably uninstalling the game are the timer and the lazy this app that are meant to be found.

Overall, good, but really needs work. Could be the best, but requires changes.

I really like this game a lot, and have been playing almost daily for months, but I’m getting ready to delete it off my phone, as I realized I’m getting more annoyed playing it, then I am enjoying it, because of the stupid three-part ads. They’re supposed to be 10 seconds each, but they act like they’re loading for about three seconds every time, so you’re really watching ads for about 40 seconds, plus you have to stay engaged to hit next, every ten seconds, which is very annoying!! This is stupid. You should be able to watch a straight 30 second ad and then get back to the game, without having to tap through it and without having extra seconds added under the guise of “loading” (it’s already loaded, it’s just a gimmick to add more seconds). Get rid of these three part ads or I’m not playing or recommending this game anymore.

I agree with many other reviewer‘s that this is fun and peaceful, in the very beginning. Unfortunately it is timed, which is NOT some thing I’m looking for as I’m playing in bed waiting to fall asleep. I thought for sure there must be an untimed version (a Zen version maybe?) for those times when you don’t want a countdown timer...but there isn’t. The first levels are easy enough that it doesn’t matter, you can solve them quickly. I paid to remove the ads after doing the first few easy ones, I didn’t even notice that there was a timer counting down. Anyway, the next night I got a more difficult set of pictures and I was looking for my last difference when time ran out and it prompted me to start over. So, my peace ended, I just quit playing and switched to a different game.

This game is very enjoyable to play. However, some of the this app are so faint that you can barely see them and even when you use the “Hint” button and the difference is highlighted for you, you STILL don’t see any difference. But the worst part, or so I thought, were the 30 second ads you have to watch for the Hints. 10 seconds should be the maximum. And now they’ve made it even MORE annoying with the set of 3 ten second ads you must watch and click “Next” to get through the sequence of the 3 ads in order to get the Hint. I loved playing this game but may delete Differences if these long ads continue. And now all of a sudden there are TEN this app instead of five??? I’m not enjoying this at all! It’s supposed to be a leisurely time passing game…this just makes it seem more stressful and more like a chore to play!

This is a good brain game, especially after you’ve passed the first 200 levels. The this app can be extremely minute, which can be tricky. There is an option to get a clue which involves watching 30+ seconds of video and occasionally even when the difference is pointed out I still can’t see it. You can enlarge the picture to see the details up close but more often than not, the screen will miss-read a touch to zoom in and you’ll lose time off the clock. You start out with 2 minutes that go by quickly. That’s the only thing that irritates me when I’m playing. Then you have to sit through 30+ seconds of video before your clock resets to 60 seconds. Overall I recommend this game.

I really like the game and it just so challenging and that’s why I love it because I love challenging stuff 8͟8͟%͟ of my apps are challenging games but, when I don’t know if you guys feel this too but whenever I play this I just can’t find some stuff that I need to find to complete the challenge and I love the game and all like I love everything about it But the one thing I love the game but I don’t play it much because of how difficult it gets for me and my eyesight is kind of bad so hm I was thinking you can probably make like different levels like easy hard and medium? And like pick which type of challenge you want to do? But you please do what you wanna do cause I don’t want to control you guys go for just a game and I love the game but I just saying just for people who have bad eyesight like me can probably make a easy level for them just to help but just saying you don’t have to like I said earlier I don’t want to control you guys just over a really fun game and I want to make sure you guys think it’s fun because I already think it’s fun but my eyesight is actually good just a little bit bad it’s not fully bad but yeah well thank you for making this game🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊

I enjoy the game for the most part. Some levels are crazy easy, but some levels are really challenging. The one thing that leaves something to be desired is the game can be hyper-sensitive to exactly where you touch to indicate you’ve spotted a difference. For example, if you see a cloud is different and don’t touch the cloud EXACTLY where the designer thinks you should, you lose 30 seconds. That’s an awful lot of time to lose (25%) for really not doing anything wrong. I get not wanting people to randomly tap around the screen to willy nilly find the this app, but maybe the entire cloud should count. I imagine most people are playing on their phones, so it’s not like there’s a massive area to work with. Other than this one design flaw, though, it’s a fun game. I just wouldn’t necessarily suggest young kids play it because it turns out that design flaw is even more annoying for them since they don’t necessarily understand what a design flaw is.

This is a fun app although it seems that once you get used to the types of this app you should look for it's not as challenging as it might be. I like to throw in a few minutes playing this app to break up other things I’m doing. I think I’ve had it downloaded for about a week & im still enjoying it & looking forward to more puzzles to solve!

Edit: really glad to see some new puzzles here! This is a fun game & the developers seem responsive to our requests & even complaints.

Might be because I’m an old fart, but I really don’t mind the ads. It provides a bit of a breather between challenges & gives a few seconds to balance your focus in preparation for a new challenge. Anyway, there shouldn’t be any more gripes now that you can pay to get rid of them. I always like to see that option available even if I don’t always avail myself of the opportunity. Thanks for an excellent game!

I really like this game but I don’t think it is 5 star worthy. 1 it is really hard I am only on level 2. 2 of all there are a TOUN if previous .other than that it is fun! If it is my opinion I say if you fix that it is 5 star worthy! But mostly it is way to hard. The previous are ok I don’t love them but I can deal with them. This game is fun tho! I played this till leave 2 and then it asked if I want to write a review and so I sat there I and I thought I have to write a review on this. So if you are thinking this game is bad I am not going to buy it well you are wrong. I am saying there are a few things that need to be fixed but other it is...GREAT!!! I really like it so I am not saying it is bad I am just saying there is a FEW things that really need to be fixed. PLEASE PLEASE GET BACK TO ME THANK YOU FOR READING THIS

The game is very good and funny. But the same add of 30 seconds after every level of 1 minute and a half is too much. I wouldn’t mind seeing the same add every 3 levels or different shorter adds after every game.
As for the game: this developer is a good developer. Great game and graphics. 👍👍👍

Edit: although it is true that most of the adds can be skipped by clicking on a cross that appears after some time, as the developer kindly suggested in their reply to me, there is one add (that coincidentally was the only one that appeared to me at the beginning) which hides this cross. The add is for a Solitaire game in the Vungle add network. I know now that the developers are not to blame here, but they should try to get this add removed (it was my first approach to your game and almost made me delete it). Now I am at level 108 and I still love this game: beautiful drawings!! And the game is simple and to the point. You truly did an awesome game!! Congratulations and thank you for your efforts! 😊

When I first saw this game in an add I thought nothing of it but I did think about after I tapped the X and realized I wanted Differences and still thought I would end up deleting it after a few rounds so I would just download it from the next add. But I kept waiting and waiting looking for adds to watch to find this game but nothing and then after a few days of searching I found it and was relieved that I found it. When I played it though I instantly got addicted and it was so fun and challenging! It’s a classic game too and that’s the biggest reason that I haven’t surprisingly deleted this game out of pure boredom 10/10 highly recommend

I’ve played this game for a few years now, at times it was pretty boring…some levels were pretty easy and solving some within 2-3 seconds…while other required the minutes or more. What was frustrating were the ads, and about after 3 moths I ponied up and bought this game…some of the more challenging games are food levels and actual photographs…

This game loaded ok, sometimes around level 10,000 the game started taking a little longer…iPad Pro 2nd gen….when I purchased my 2020 iPsd Pro 12.9”, this game really flew when opening and between levels….then after about 6 months the game loading crawled along and levels slowed as well…

This afternoon I noticed on my 12.9” iPad Pro took forever to open, I even shut the iPad down completely and that didn’t even to any good…I checked for updates and there didn’t seem to be anything new, Differences was up to date as far as I was concerned…then awhile later I opened Differences and it took awhile, and when it did I opened a level from where I left off…I was surprised to see that some levels had ten this app to find, what an improvement…opening Differences seemed a bit faster as well as the levels…on the iPad 12.9” I am up to levels in the 15,000 area…yes, I play it daily.

I love Differences and I was playing when I went to bed and I wasn’t so post to play anything. But then I realized you need WiFi so I could only play it at home or sisters house. I don’t like how many adds there are without when you get a hint. I think you should make it you don’t need WiFi if and if you need a hint you could have a storage of adds or just don’t have any hints and the adds I don’t like it cuz this is addicting so I just want to play and not have any adds because adds distract me like this, I was playing this games really focused and then a adds came to screw it up so if you could make so there are like 1 add every 3 or 4 levels.

Just saying I could live with all the stuff I just said something about

I've downloaded and purchased similar games at comparable prices, and I usually regretted it as soon as I realized the more I advanced, the less challenging the game was. I enjoy playing this game with its multiple levels, as if no image is used twice or if images are duplicated, the challenges are definitely varied from level to level. The "events" keep players engaged with the game, and the "daily challenge" games are too! Awesome job to the creators for giving players something new and not allowing us to get bored with it. Oh, and the artwork is pretty cool! I'm always excited to see what the next image looks like. The ads are obnoxious, but the purchased option is a good choice for a quality app/game! Three thumbs up.

by Jsrhvksjfhkrejhfl

I like what your going for in the game. It is a very Challenging yet fun app. I do recommend getting. It’s hard to explain how Differences truly is. I was thinking about saying something about the ads but…
I know that this is a free game, ads are the foundation of most free games. And I only mentioned this because multiple people have been getting mad at y’all because of the ads. Really they don’t bother me and there aren’t that many of them to begin with! I think over the years this game will become more popular and fun. And back to the ad thing. People should be great full this game is free. I would rather have a free app with a lot of ads than an expensive app with none! Thank you for your hard work, goodness people really do get me stirred up. I mean it’s not your fault Differences has so many ads! 🙄🙄🙄

😀😀😀

by Gcafl02

There are so many levels!! Some are easy, some hard. There are a lot of ads but the game is so fun to me that I can get past that. The only thing is the ad content. Some ads are tailored to what I was just searching for on another app.(wish/AliExpress) That definitely creeps me out. And because of this I was looking to replace Differences with another. But none of them have as many levels. Can you purchase this game and get rid of the ads? I’ve only paid for an app a few times,ever!, but I would pay for this one.
And! I love the orientation! This makes it easy to play with one hand. On some others, you can only play with your phone sideways. I will keep looking for a different app tho. (because of ad content)

**So, I’m not very techy. But the developer reached out and explained the what and why and, now that I understand, I’m completely satisfied 😊

I love this game. I can’t even begin to express how much this game calms my anxiety, and somehow manages to continue to be fresh and new after >200 levels so far. The seasonal events are fun, and the season matching daily games are so great. I play this throughout the day, but especially right before bed. The beautiful music and lovely scenes are soothing, and it’s become something I look forward to at the end of the night to unwind, destress and relax. I don’t typically pay to remove ads on apps, (the ads are not at all intrusive on this game) but I really wanted to support the creators who clearly are still hard at work to provide new and original content constantly. There’s a simple passion that comes through here from the creators, and not a quick money grab from consumers. I’d give more than five stars if I could! Thank you so much for this beautiful and fun game!
