Review intelligence
Low confidenceUsers find the app good for puzzle caches but some find the new version confusing and desire old features.
Love this caching app for keeping track of puzzles and multi's! It would be great if it was a universal app so I could run fullscreen on my ipad too, as i prefer the screen real estate for more involved puzzle caches!
This new version is very confusing. Please bring back the old version.

Questions this record can answer
How was every figure on this page produced?
Each figure is read from public App Store metadata or computed from it, dated to when we read it, and traceable to a stored row. Percentiles, cadence, longevity and sentiment are derived by us; ratings, prices, sizes and dates are taken as the store reports them.
Why can the star average and recent opinion disagree?
The star average is cumulative over the app’s whole life, so recent opinion barely moves it. Any sentiment figure we compute reads only recent review text, which is why it turns first. Treat a divergence as an early indicator, not a verdict.
What can this page not tell you?
Downloads, revenue, active users, subscription pricing inside the app, and anything about security or data handling. None of those are visible in public store metadata, so we do not estimate them.
