Pros and cons of Jabeh app for iPhone and iPad

Jabeh app good for

This is a unique, solid logic puzzle game that is easy to control, and fun to play. The design, graphics and sound are outstanding (the background music is exceptional), and the controls are comfortable and precise. A great game for on the go. If you want a unique deduction game that is fun to play and pleasant to look at and hear, then Jabeh will be a solid purchase ($1.99 is a good deal). I highly recommend this game for fans of logic games.

Once I got the hang of the game it became hard to put down. Challenging and makes you think, which is refreshing! Very highly recommended.

This is now my go-to game every night before going to bed. It is so well-done, challenging and fun to play, yet relaxing at the same time, that I highly recommend it too. The only "bad" thing is that it is so addictive, I end up wanting to fall asleep much, much later than I should :)

Great logic game. Simple in concept yet but well executed and challenging. Even though has good replay value would like see more levels, or better yet, generate boards on the fly.

Calling it a combo between minesweeper and sudoku is spot on. It also reminds me of classic logic problems. Challenging! The only thing i would say is that the easy-medium-hard ratings dont always ring true. I have been stumped on some easy ones, yet finished a hard one in less than 2mins with little thought. Great game though. Wish there were more like this.

Satisfying, increasingly challenging puzzles. Finely crafted art-work. Beautiful to play. Developer is to be commended for high quality work.

Some bad moments

The Easy level is very enjoyable for awhile, but then you need to move on. It may be just me, but the logic, on the Medium level, seems to break down. You seem to be left with two options. Either get a Hint or make a guess. After you block out any 0s and block in behind the parallel arrows in the 1s, you are done. At that point you usually must guess. Guessing ruins it for me. I have paid 5 bucks for a game that exhausts itself quickly.

This app is too expensive for $5. Please consider lowering the price.

I tried playing the game, then realized something was off in the way boxes were responding to being marked. I tried to start a new game-nothing. Return to menu? Nope. The clock kept running but no buttons worked.
