Nodes: Connect Dots to Relax

I played NYT Vertex every day until they unceremoniously shut it down. I just discovered this app and am beyond thrilled!! The puzzles are really creative and I love the settings options (especially appreciate dark mode and ability to turn off sound). I don’t really get the complaints about ads or “not enough” extra puzzles for premium users. The designers of the puzzles deserve to get paid for their creative work. $25 / year and you are paying like 7 cents for each daily puzzle, not to mention the many, many extra puzzles. That seems worth it to me! One suggestion I have is the option for an “undo” button- sometimes the double tap doesn’t quite work.

I was crushed when NYT cancelled Vertex. Looked for a replacement app and did not find this until recently. So happy I did. Isn’t identical to the “original”, but in all important ways, works just fine. I get so frustrated by ads, especially those that lock you in, I quickly opted for the Pro subscription, since this will be one of my main go-to puzzles every day. Thank you. I’m so very happy to have this! Developers: When I get through the pro puzzles, I don’t know yet whether I will be able to go backwards on the daily ones. As in, when December comes, will I be able to go back and pick up any un-done November ones? Can I in November go back for October? Suggestions: A bit more time to appreciate completed puzzle before going to animation. Thank you for adding number of connections to pro section instead of just question marks so user can choose complexity before opening. Great addition.

I loved Vertex on the NYT app and of course they got rid of it. Reddit mentioned this app as a good replacement, which it was, but there were definitely issues when I first downloaded it. For lack of a better explanation, it was not as “polished” as NYT’s Vertex. But the recent update they did has majorly improved the user experience. The issues I had such as some of my lines going to circles I didn’t pick is gone. The puzzles are detailed and take a decent amount of time. Well worth the monthly cost.
