Andrea P. - UX Analyst at CasualCore

"Match3Note helps me stay plugged into mobile puzzle trends without drowning in irrelevant updates. The monetization breakdowns are especially helpful when we're iterating on offers or revising our reward flows. It's rare to find a newsletter that's this sharp and consistently useful for professionals in mobile UX."
Ben H. - Indie Developer

"As a solo dev working on my own Match-3 concept, Match3Note has become my Friday ritual. It's not just news—it's smart commentary on what works and why. I've taken inspiration from their mechanic breakdowns to rethink how I handle progression in my prototype. The clarity of each issue makes it super digestible."
Tomas I. - Product Manager at LoopSoft

"Clear writing, actionable data, and just the right amount of insight—that's what I value most in Match3Note. I often use it as a warm-up read before LiveOps planning meetings. It surfaces trends I might otherwise miss while buried in dashboards."
Lillian W. - Marketing Coordinator, TapPop Games

"I signed up out of curiosity and stayed for the clarity. The IAP case studies help me understand player behavior across titles, and the interviews are full of lessons you don't usually hear in public forums. Match3Note gives a voice to the quiet patterns behind successful games."
