Terms of Use

The whole campaign — every level, every grade, the daily puzzle, all of it — works with no account. Signing in with Apple or Google does two things and no others: it backs your campaign up, and it puts you on the world leaderboard.

You can sign out at any time, and you can delete the account and everything on the server from inside the app: Settings ▸ your account ▸ Delete my account data. That deletes the account itself, not just its contents — see the privacy policy.

The board shows the display name your Apple or Google account gives us. You do not type a name into Quintap, so most of what usually goes wrong here cannot: there is no nickname field, no message, no picture, no chat and no way to send anything to another player.

What is left is your name, on a table other signed-in players can see, and there are rules about it. Do not use the board to:

• show a name that is obscene, hateful, harassing or threatening;
• impersonate another person, a company, or me;
• advertise anything, or use a name as a handle or a link to send people somewhere;
• pretend to be staff or support for Quintap.

If you do, your row comes off the board, and your account may be closed without warning and without a refund. There is no appeal queue and no tribunal: it is one person reading reports, and I would rather remove a name and be wrong about it than leave one up and be wrong about that.

If you see a name that breaks these rules

Tap it on the board, or the button at the end of its row. The card that opens lets you report it — you will be asked which of three things is wrong with it — and, separately, hide it. Hiding takes effect immediately, stays on your own device, and is yours to undo whenever you like. Reports come to me and to nobody else; no other player can read them.

I do not moderate names before they appear, because I never chose them: they arrive from Apple and Google as they are. What I undertake is to read reports and to take a name off the board when it should not be there.

Quintap sells one thing: Remove Ads, a single purchase — not a subscription — that turns off the banner and the rewarded offer for good.

Nothing in the game is behind it. Every level, grade, crest, the daily puzzle and the leaderboard work without it. There is no currency, no energy meter and no loot box anywhere in the app.

Apple takes the payment and holds the receipt. Refunds are Apple's to give, under Apple's terms, not mine. If the purchase does not carry over to a new phone, Settings ▸ Restore Purchases asks Apple again; if that fails, write to me.

Until that purchase, the game shows a banner under cards you opened yourself, and offers a hint you can watch a video for. Nothing plays an advert you did not ask for, no level is gated on watching one, and the first ten levels and the whole of your first session carry no advertising at all.

The adverts come from Google and follow the privacy choices you made when you were asked. The details are in the privacy policy.
