Something not working? Here is everything we know is broken right now, what you can do until it is fixed, and which update brings the fix. We keep this page honest and up to date.
OutBrick 5.1 and 5.1.1 with VoiceOver on, from level 6.
What happens
While VoiceOver was reading the board, the game did not count that as playing. After a short pause it opened a card offering boosters over the board, and closing the card left VoiceOver focus nowhere, so it jumped to the top. On iOS 17 and earlier, the board summary could also catch every touch.
Until it is fixed
If a card offering boosters or a hint appears while you are reading the board, a two-finger scrub closes it and puts you back on the board.
Use the rotors (Pieces that can match, Specials, Goals, Blockers, Gates) to jump straight to what you need.
Move pieces with their actions (swipe up or down), which keeps your focus on the board.
The fix
Fixed in OutBrick 5.1.2, which we have sent to Apple for review. A later update adds more VoiceOver improvements we found along the way. Keep automatic updates on to get them as soon as they are out.
Missions do not count progress on Slide & Match boards
Who it affects
OutBrick 5.1 and 5.1.1.
What happens
Some missions do not move forward when you play Slide & Match boards, and a few ask for something those boards cannot give. Your levels, stars and coins are not affected; only the mission counters are.
Until it is fixed
Nothing is needed: your progress on the board is safe. Missions you cannot finish simply wait for the update.
The fix
Fixed. The fix comes in an update after 5.1.2: missions count on Slide & Match boards, and missions those boards cannot complete are no longer offered.

A board could seem frozen after extra moves arrived
Who it affects
OutBrick 5.1.
What happens
When extra moves arrived while a tip card was on screen, the card could vanish while still blocking the board. VoiceOver found only the card, and the next swipe was spent putting it away.
The fix
Fixed in OutBrick 5.1.1, on the App Store since 8 October 2026. Update OutBrick from the App Store if you have not already.
