PuzzleManiak is a collection of 24 puzzle games: Sudoku, Pattern (Picross like), Bridges, Dominosa, Filling, Galaxies, Loopy, LightUp, Mines, Net, Rectangles, Slant, Tents, Unequal, Untangle, Blackbox, SameGame, Pegs, Mastermind, Map, Magnets, Singles, Range and Netslide.
All games are generated on-the-fly with a unique solution, thus you’ll never play the same puzzle twice.
All games offer multiple levels from easy to hard.
Statistics are maintained for each game, and each level of difficulty.
For each game, a daily challenge is available: in this mode, everyday, all players play the same puzzle and compare their scores with other players.
Another online mode is available: the Online League. After any (local) game, you can submit it to the website, so that every other players can play it and thus you can compare your scores to other ones. An overall ranking is available, and ranking are also available for each game.

This is a great app with 24 different puzzles.
There is a ‘local mode’ for just playing puzzles without competing with other players, but I use the online mode most (I guess I’m more competitive than I realize). The leagues let you play particular puzzles at your choice of difficulty and compete with other players that have completed the same puzzle. I’ll use that feature for learning and improving or zoning out with my favorite puzzles. I play the daily challenges every day, which has one of each puzzle, to compete with other players (though I only usually play 15/24).
It can be buggy on occasion, but the developer is very kind and works quickly to resolve any issues.
Great game, have been playing forever
Seriously great collection of logic games, all collected together in one app. If I could only have one game on my phone, this would be it.
Only one issue- with version 7.1.7 on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Tangled game seems to have a sizing issue and you can only use about 2/3 of the screen.
What happened?
This used to be a great collection of games, well worth the yearly fee, but now it feels like it’s been abandoned. Games crash all the time, graphics wonky. It’s a shame.
bug fixes never happened
months ago this app updated after literal years of working fine. dev said they would fix the bugs in 7.1 but the app is still sized wrong for the screen on almost all puzzles, and some have other bugs like mastermind will glitch off screen if you tab out of the app. just fix it already or put it back to the way it was
Update made everything smaller
With this update, everything is suddenly smaller, making it hard to play on my phone. (iPhone 13 max pro.) I've been playing this collection for years. I'm addicted and now I can't get my fix! ;) UPDATE: The size issue is mostly fixed, but Pattern is still small for some reason, and the trees is Tents are oddly off-center.
UPDATE 2: Untangle also doesn't work right. The nodes have a limited range of motion making it impossible to solve.
Doesn’t work after update
After happily playing this for years, I got a mysterious message apologizing for an update. And the developer might well apologize—the app no longer works on my 5th gen iPad Pro because parts of the puzzles are off the screen.
So sad!!!
After literally years of using this app as my go-to time killer at airports, doctors offices, and such, this last update has killed it on my iPhone 11. The game boards and icons are all much smaller, sudoku seems to be pretty much unplayable. I certainly can’t see the small numbers, and the row of buttons along the bottom is under the “sweep up” bar and very hard to hit. The other games all seem to have the same size issues, and the touch screen precision it takes to play is just frustrating.
I will miss you so much, PuzzleManiak!
Too many bugs to bother with
The latest update continues to not save times, even though it indicates that it is supposed to.
On any device that is newer than an iPhone 8 the buttons are at the bottom of the screen and causes issues when trying to tap on a button or closing the app.
Online games not working last 2 days
The app just crashes when I try to go online for anything within this app. Games, online rankings… I have tried on iPad, iPhone and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Cannot play any online games now, and my subscription is good until February 2022. Sent developer email and no response yet.
Bridges
I can't stop playing bridges. Oddly the counter for games won and lost don’t work properly. I win every game but it says I’ve lost over 300. Oh well i like it anyway.
