Or maybe go buy Threes which this is a descendant of?

Nice clone but it's definitely a clone and so should be treated as such.

I have Threes and they way way over-designed it. Also it's rubbery interface is really quite annoying. This one however is a perfection - simpler idea, pure gameplay, subtle animations and UI mechanics. It really beats Threes hands down even if it's a "clone".

Yep, and if you have a spare couple of minutes to play a game, the first minute is spent loading it.

They've been promising an android version for some time now. If they don't hurry up, though, they'll get beaten to it by clones.
