Rotate the Rings Reviews

Good stuff: the individual games are good and there are no other distractions like dragons and mini-games.
Why I’ll delete: There are probably 20 games that are recycled over and over. Sometimes the same game will repeat within a few rounds. I’ve come to know them well. I only wish I had known this before paying the $3 for no ads.

After seeing the game advertised thru other game play, was interested, thought I’d give it a go. 15 levels in, liked the game play but WAY too many ads. Spent more time clicking away ad screens than actually playing. Although the ads don’t interrupt game play, just couldn’t deal with the one for one if not more ads after each level. Sorry for you. You had a good thing going.

For each 10 second level you’re required to watch 20-30 seconds of ads that take you out of RotatetheRings to the AppStore constantly. It’s not really a playable game. You just get game breaks between your ads basically. You also can’t play unless you’re connected to the internet which makes it inaccessible when out of WiFi.

Ad to game play ratio way over balanced towards ads. The puzzles are way too simple and only take a few seconds and each is followed by an ad that takes 20-30 seconds, sometimes longer before you can get to the next too simple puzzle. If I wanted to waste my time watching ads, I would search for an app that is built around watching ads. This is a waste of time

Yes, RotatetheRings is long gone, at least compared to the time it existed on my iPad. I tried it for about 12 minutes, during which I was rotating rings for about 70 seconds and watching ads for the remainder of that time. I am actually spending more time writing this review than I spent with the game. I did, however, get one benefit from trying the game - I learned the name of the game creator, which will help me avoid comparable ridiculous games in the future. It’s a shame, this could have been a beneficial learning experience for youngsters, if they could play it uninterrupted. Not much of a challenge for an adult of moderate intellect though.

There’s an ad after every single level, even the ones where you only make two moves to complete them. I got to level 30 but it never seemed to get more challenging. Nothing beyond four rings. Very dull. To make it worse most of the ads have a fake x. Tap on it to close, and it takes you straight to RotatetheRings Store to buy a different but very similar game.

I paid to remove ads because as others have said, there are way too many. I thought eventually the levels would get harder and provide a challenge - but it never happened. You get into the 200 level and they just start repeating the original super-easy levels. Very disappointing as the game’s concept is a great one.

The game is filled with long annoying ads so that playing the puzzles are impossible. Paid to remove the adds only to find it is the same circle puzzles over and over again. No new levels, no new puzzles, just the same couple dozen over and over again. Very disappointing.

I love puzzles so I tried this game. After 250 puzzles and $3.99 spent to get rid of ads, I am deeply disappointed. I really wanted something that would challenge me but this is not it. I did not have to think at all. Every single puzzle was SIMPLE and they repeat after a fairly short period of time. I wanted to love this game but… there is nothing challenging at all. Sorry I spent the money.

I enjoy playing the game but it very slow and sometimes the rings don’t let me rotate or move them. And for some reason when I try to play the hard level it make me lose my life even if I complete it before the timer runs outs. I love this game though but the classic level is really easy I wish it was a little harder. In general I love this game playing the hard level is fun but like I said it would be great if you don’t run out life.

I downloaded this, because it had a good average of stars and a decent amount of downloads, but after about 100 levels (that are VERY easy so you breeze through them much faster then you’d think) the levels repeat all over. I didn’t realize this and paid the $3.99 to be ad free. It’s NOT worth it. $3.99 for maybe 30 minutes of gameplay. I wish I had read the top review. Don’t waste your money

I paid to remove the ads but wish I didn’t. The levels keep repeating at some point. The level number keeps going up but I haven’t seen a new level in way too long.

This game was amazing, I installed it yesterday, played to level 100! Was going to pay you to have no ads just to support! The ads were not intrusive, easy to get away from… Today, I can’t even play the game because your ads are so intrusive! For this alone, I will not support your dev team, I will not pay for your ads, and I have uninstalled the game! Way to go!

You see more ads than you get to play the game. Will be deleting after I type this. The game itself is good and could get very challenging if you could ever get there. I know all free games have ads but this seems to have a lot more.

Not sure how this game has more than 4 stars bc the amount of ads is ridiculous! I understand you need to play ads to finance the game but 1-2 ads after every single level in just unacceptable! I spent more time waiting for ads to finish than actually playing the game!

So while I like the idea of the game, the mechanics are not good. I spend so much time trying to get free rings to just move , the touch screen spect is not properly responsive. So I got frustrated with having so few lives and such a long renew time, I bought a pass for unlimited lives but It still kicks me off after 5. That’s a lot of money I wasted. I think I will delete RotatetheRings and move on

I read reviews. I thought this was a game to play and challenge my puzzle solving skills. It is. I paid to remove ads. Nominal amount. However then whenever I was about half way through the game an ad would pop up and run for longer than the timer I had left on the game. Complete rip off. Don’t download this game unless you want to be frustrated and angry

I just deleted this game which I really wanted to keep playing but……it started out with ads after 3 or 4 games, then 2 etcetera. Then it was one game, one ad and the games were still quick and easy. I deleted because one ad was after level 10 and the next ad after level 11. Bye! Oh and you got an ad and when you dismissed that, a poster ad next!

I understand that is how you make your money, and I know for $4.99 I can get no ads, but after playing for 15 seconds I have to watch 30 seconds or more of ads, after EACH set of rings??? No thanks

Too many ads and too slow to reload after deleting ad!!! Try playing yourselves and you’ll be bored also, within a few seconds!!!

THE ADS ARE FREQUENT AND ANNOYING! The game evidentially knows the ads are annoying because after you suffer through them, it pops up and says for $3.99 you can go and free. No thanks! I am not interested in blackmail. Deleted immediate!

Repetitive, easy and way too many ads. Pretty much an ad after every one to two puzzles. You end up playing for 20 seconds then have to sit through a minute ads. Deleted it.

There are too many freaking ADS!!! It would be fine if there was an AD after three or four boards but NO, there is one after every single board and you spend more time with the ADS than actually playing the game! I had tried it once before and deleted it because of the ADS then tonight, I tried it again….I’m not willing to waste my time watching the same ADS over and over that I have NO interest in or intention of downloading. Fun but not fun enough to watch the ADS….Sorry!

There is a reason these games ask you to rate them before level 5. Level 5 is where the ads kick in. The concept for them game is cute. Abut of a brain challenge at higher levels, but the ad to play time is seriously out of whack. I refuse to watch a 39 second ad for every 10 seconds of play. If you want to fork over real cash for the ad fee version it might be worth it. Once I finish this review I plan to delete the game.

The puzzle aspect of this game is great overall. The amount of ads after you beat level 4 are relentless. Absolutely ridiculous how many ads I just experienced. I had to delete it based off of the loss of interest after ad 12 I had to watch just to beat the next level to get to the next ad. It’s a shame too because the game itself is fun.

The first many levels are childishly easy. I didn’t continue to play to get to any challenging level. Two important marks against it: (1) I play with my iPad plugged in, and the game will only play in portrait mode with the cord at the bottom (crimped); and (2) there is an ad of medium length between EVERY level, which plays about 3 times as long as it takes to complete the level. You can pay $1.99 to stop the ads. I didn’t pay, so I don’t know if that really happens. I deleted the game.

I tried RotatetheRings today and I’ve already deleted it. RotatetheRings itself is fun. The numerous ads are annoying. I considered paying the $4.99 to remove the ads, but I wanted a chance to see if I liked RotatetheRings before investing money in it. Unfortunately, I became thoroughly frustrated by the fact that I spent at least 3 times as much time watching ads as playing RotatetheRings . Entirely too much! Reading the reviews, the developers may be making money now, but are losing customers very quickly.

I only managed to get to level 10…each level at this point takes between 5 and 10 seconds…but you must watch an add between levels…or pay 1.99 a day for add free…lol…or just nope

This game is easy and could be fun but your requiring an ad for every round. I moved two rings and had to watch an add. That is not a realistic amount of game play for having to watch an ad. If you made it 1 ad for every 3 to 5 rounds I would play but otherwise I am done.

After reading the other reviews I decided to just go ahead and pay the 4.99 or whatever to remove ads. It turned out to be a fine time-waster… for about 24 hours. I hit level 210 & started thinking “didn’t I do this one already?” By level 223 I could tell the puzzles were just repeating.
I love the concept of this game but I think it could benefit from being part of a larger RPG or something. And for the amount I paid I expected to get more than a day of entertainment out of it.

You don’t even need a brain to play this game

I like the concept of the game. However, you play 10-15 seconds on the game and then have to watch a 15-45 second ad In between every and I do mean every game. It takes all the fun out of a game. I know you can pay $3.99 and have no ads. I have other games that have the ad buyout but their ad aren’t so often. That’s like blackmail to me. I will be deleting this game.

The puzzles are the same ones over and over. The ads kept popping up so paid for the removal, was of money on that. Great games except playing same puzzles.

Good game but too many advertisements tends to loose interest in the game..

It was a good game until it started repeating the levels over and over. It’s ridiculous. I will be deleting.

I like the game but deleted it after a few minutes since there is an ad after every single level 😩

Fun puzzles but too many ads. Don’t want ads? Your gonna paid $4.99 no thanks.

I liked it well enough at first, but the time it took
to complete a puzzle was followed an ad that lasted 3 times longer. More time waiting between games than playing. I have deleted RotatetheRings .

I love the concept of the game and I enjoyed the levels quite quickly but as other reviews have noted, some of the levels repeat. That can be quite frustrating because it kills the challenge of getting to higher levels. Additionally, there may be some bugs that need to be worked out in the software. I just tried one of the art levels and one of the white screens to reveal the puzzle underneath was stuck after I unlocked everything atop. Just kind of makes me not want to continue even though I enjoy the game.

The game itself is fun but they really make it so you get annoyed with the amount of ads and how long there are that you’re almost forced to pay to play. Literally, every time you win a round an ad pops up. It’s over the top.

Great game and they got back to me saying they are hoping a person will be able to play it with less intrusive ads in the future.

Fun game except for the ads..I love this kind of puzzle game but I am not playing to watch ads & I refuse to pay a fee each month to do away with the ads…

After about five games, I reached a point where I could solve one game (less than 20 seconds), and watch an ad, solve another short game, watch another ad. The ads last much longer than the game. I haven’t deleted it yet, because MAYBE the games will get more complicated and my time spent playing games will be greater than my time spent watching ads. If that doesn’t happen, bye.

I had no issue with the gameplay at all, very relaxing whats not relaxing is the constant ads. I just can’t keep games on that show that many ads. I have deleted quite a few games because of the bombardment of constant ads that dragged on. Sorry I hate ads as is. Just to much.

Originally I really liked this. So much so that I actually purchased it so I didn’t have all the ads. I wouldn’t recommend it. Seems like now there is only a very few puzzles that just keep repeating over and over. I don’t even see some of the puzzles that were there when the ads were. Just a rip-off.

I like the game (would like it more if there was a choice to have no timer) but there is a terrible bug. The game doesn’t always sense your fingers, so the rings take multiple tries to turn them. So you run out of time. And what is with the limit of 5 tries? That is pretty restrictive.

Nice

I love RotatetheRings but it has already repeated 2 times and I have only had it a week. Please add more levels and add a degree of difficulty. Thanks.

I love this game, however, I am having a touch problem. I keep pushing the arrows so I will be able to play, it does not work, I have to reset the game to be able to play.

Would be much better if you could play for more than 15 sec without several minutes of repetitive ads.

Quick diversion

I like it so far. I’ll update later if I change my mind.

When I got in to the game there wasn’t a press to start button it loaded for a sec but then got right in to the game and it got harder and harder each level not like other games it actually got harder not do the same level five times then get harder it actually gets harder

I’m trying to play this game but your adds keep messing up . The game is slow and on some adds it just goes blank and I have to shut it down and restart. It seems like I keep playing the same things over and over again . I checked and there is no update , it’s really a shame because I like the game .

Entertaining makes one think ahead

It’s not like the add it’s a lil better

I’m glad I found this rings game after seeing so many other ones that make you do other stupid things in between sorting the rings. I love this one! Nice colors, calm background, and nothing else besides the rings. My only suggestion would be to give a few more coins when doing the levels that require us to unlock it by watching an ad.
Thanks!
