My husband taught me these puzzles years ago. My brain hurt as he was teaching me, but I came to love the puzzles. If this app was around at that time, I would've caught on so much quicker. As I'm going thru the app, I'm imagining introducing this kind of puzzle to someone else. My husband has passed away and is with Jesus now, but this was a great reminder of those days when he took the time to show me how to do this/these puzzle(s).

coming back to this, I bought the £4.99 upgrade to get chapter 2 onwards, but it's so buggy. the content is good, but most pages appear blank or randomly disappear for no reason. please fix these bugs!
