Ratings and reviews

My favourite app EVER...until the latest update...Played frequently and reached Level 5 in Numbers (not so good with Letters game) but am really struggling with this new update 6.05. Have tried it for a while but the appearance now seems much less intuitive and user friendly. Everything is so small and hard to find things on the screen. Is there any chance of getting it back to the previous appearance (or close to what it was)?? Really like the app otherwise.

Simple and great to play as a wind-down before sleep, except that the screen always auto-rotates, even when my phone settings are locked to 'portrait'. This is quite annoying for me. Also, I'd like it if it gave the best option to get to a target at the end of each game, as they do on the show. Same with the words. Not getting to see the best option at the end feels like a bit of a let down. I still play it though.

A good attempt at a countdown game. I feel that the numbers game needs some work. Small numbers are always consecutive, which annoys me no end. I reckon there will be a better way to implement the bodmas side of things too - brackets are just too clunky given the time constraints. Maybe have a few workspaces that can be used, and then a way to input workspace A + workspace B, for example. There's probably a better way than that, but the brackets definitely need to disappear and be replaced.
