Incompatibility with older iOS versions.

"Please make the app compatible with older devices."

What Users Are Saying

MIDI puzzle doesn’t show in iPad anymore. Redownloaded but still doesn’t work. You need to get this worked out.

It would be nice if they just stuck to pure games, but they let their political wokeness sneak into almost every puzzle that they have. But I’d expect nothing less from the New York Times

Whenever I try to go into the app, it says that I have to update it but when it brings me to the App Store, it says there’s no updates. I would give five stars if you fix it

It says I need to update the game and now I cannot play.

Whatever game you enjoy becomes paid after a few weeks!! Greedy!!!

Not sure why this developer needs to have such a current iOS for some simple online games. Lots of apps out there are just fine working on iOS 12.0 or greater thanks a lot NYTimes, you’ve just thrown a lot of users under the bus.

App crashes after 30 seconds, I wonder which AI chatbot they used to code this app

After updating I can’t use my app! It keeps crashing!
