Community Insight:
Our name is Kira Hooyer and we just wanted to let you know that we cant download any game apps on our phone because its blocked and we want to get it back.
We love searching for words everyday and it keeps us busy.
That was great to word search one puzzle at a time. Theres one thing that Im not happy about: the lack of ad removal purchase by annoying adverts. When you can, please make it available. We appreciate that.
We like this app a lot BUT it doesnt display correctly if you have zoom on for display causing the top row to be missing. Sometimes the ads push the top row up. Very annoying. Same problem on iPad version.
Some of the words are missing one letter.
There is a blank space in the Puzzle. To solve one word it will not work because of the space before it.
Clearly, the developer prefers the ad revenue to offering a fee for an ad-free game. The ads are obtrusive, obnoxious, take longer to run through than to complete a word search puzzle. You cannot stop them from running through their programs. And youd never choose to download, which is why theyre camping on here, for exposure. We would gladly pay a fee for ad-free, as this is a nice, challenging game. Thats one reason for 3 s. They also dont annoy you with kitschy comic elements and competitions for foolish prizes. If you hate 3 minute ads every 2 1-minute games, dont get this one. If there were no ads, Id give this 5s. Ive downloaded others now, and will play those, instead.
The game is great, however the ads sometimes lockup preventing us from playing the game. We have to reboot our iPad to correct the problem. Now that is annoying.
We dont understand the rules .we get stars in a certain category and then they disappear! How can we understand.
While the idea is great, its too easy. Mostly annoying ads after each grid. Too tedious waiting for game to resume.chair sitter.
Not sure whats happening with this app now. Never had a problem before and always enjoyed playing it. However, now after finding a word and highlighting it, it does not stay marked as having found it. This is happening so much that we rarely open the app anymore. Its very annoying! Plus the way it jumps from the game to the screen with ads. Hopefully it will get fixed.
We just love this game and have it on our iPad and iPhone we can play for hours which we used to. But recently every time you finish one game you have to sit through a minute of ads. It used to not be like that. Ive been playing for years now we just play for 3 minutes and have to sit through 6 ads. Im so disappointed. Please take the time to read our reviews and lessen the amount of ads. As much as we love this game Im going to be forced to stop playing it as we dont have the patience to sit through so many long ads. Please fix this soon.
The recent update to the font size makes it too difficult to read and user is unable to adjust it. Disappointed since Ive used this app for years.
Probably one of the best word search puzzles Ive played & we would pay to get rid of the ads.
We keep coming across puzzles with blank spaces and search cant be completed although the full word is there. Fix it.
After every game an ad pops up, and you cant X it until it shows you the whole thing. Very annoying, especially for a kid.
Ads are longer than the play time.
We downloaded this game and then deleted it because it would nt complete some words that had to cross over another.. No fun to play if you cannot finish.
Love this word search app, but in the last few days the Ads have been too much! Its ok to have an Ad at the bottom of the screen, but now after every puzzle is a full page, animated and noisy game Ad that lasts for 30 seconds – thats too much.
Why dont you guys have an option to purchase the game and eliminate ads.
Live this game but screen freezes with the many ads that pop up. Too bad because It is fun and fast.
We LOVED this game… At first though a couple moths later they take away your time and give you MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE adds AND they are using the same words over and over and over and over again its JUST SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING we hate this app at this point we give one star you should be warned this game is horrible.
Asinine. Keep your commercials.
Theres a lot of promise to the app, but the chirping sound and inability to disable the disruptive ads is just too much.
This game is GREAT! Whenever we are waiting for something we play this for not a lot of time and time goes by so fast!!!! Please download it. Ignore the overall review for the app which is 4.5 think of it as 5.0!!!!!! #Wordsearchforlife.
We love this game! It is a lot of fun. However there are a few ads that pop up that are annoying. The ads seem to freeze our screen. We cannot skip or get out of it. We either have to press learn more or shop now. Sometimes something else . It is sometimes still there after we play another game and go back to Word Crossy. Do we need to get a different game tp play? Why doesnt the ad have an X to press when the ad is done? P.j.sss.
We like this game but there are way too many ads for other games. At times its hard to determine how to get out of the Ad and return to word search. Frustrated by the annoying and numerous ads when we would just like to play the game.
Even with receptiveness of words in the categories, we still enjoyed playing. We use this game to tire our mind. Recently though we noticed the explosion of ads. We get its a free app so there will be ads, after every time we finish a puzzle is excessive. The puzzles are to short and quick, the ratio of ads is annoying. Looking for a different app.
We are removing this app because you can not turn off the sound for ads.
Love to play the quick search while waiting for an appointment. We have the typical sounds shut off so as not to disturb others nearby. Recent ads have loud annoying sounds that cant be shut off & lock up our screen so we cant play. We hate this change!!! Had to shut off our phone to get it to stop.
At first this game was fun. But, very quickly it got tedious. No matter which puzzle you are playing, they all use the same words.
This app is TRASH !!! Do not even bother to download. Charged us 4.99 for no adds and we did not even request that !! And would not refund us!!!!! The crosswords are trash too!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SCAM APP.
Hi developers! This game is awesome for what it is intended to do. But the advertisements is OUT OF CONTROL. Please cut it down just a little bit. PLEASE! Having to watch an advertisement after every completed search. ANNOYING! Please Stop taking the fun from the game just for a little bit extra advertisement dollars. Thanks for hearing our rant.
Version 2.2.2 ruined the game with long playing adverts for other games. Hey Developer! Do you really think we want to watch that junk.
This app have VERY INTRUSIVE ADS! BEYOND normal! After EVERY…and we MEAN EVERY, Word Find you do…A FORCED AD appears…Really?!? O-M-G SERIOUSLY?! Then if that's NOT ENOUGH, YOU'RE BEING FORCED DOWN YOUR GUT…They take over your device AND FORCE YOU TO WATCH A FREAKING VIDEO — YOU CANNOT "X" it out…YOU ARE FORCED TO WATCH THIS CRAP!!! THIS IS MALWARE! Apple NEEDS TO REMOVE THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY! It needs to be given ZERO STARS! How AWFUL & INCONSIDERATE! UNINSTALLED…GOOD RIDDANCE.
This is an awesome game for people who like word searches. But we dont like word searches but when we played this game we stared to love word searches.
This is a fantastic challenging game.
Love love love this game! Best ever.
Soothing & fun to have along to pass time without playing 'games'.
Great game, keeps your mind going, forward, backward and diagonal. Never frustrating. Love it.
Love this game to stay sane and to pass the time.
We love the puzzles themselves. What we dont love is that it likes to freeze a lot. We will try to close and reopen the app for it to still be frozen. If that could be fixed this app would be even better.
Overall great game!our only concern we have is that we had another acc where we had a lot of missions and things completed and now it deleted all of that.
Stars indicate Ive finished a pack of games but the displayed numbers show a couple of games not completed. Frustrating that we cant find those games to complete the game pack.
Ive played this game quite a few times and this mornings game came as quite a shock. Two times during one of the Word Search games we were interrupted with a five second or so clip of pornography. Real live porn. Took us by surprise. It happened twice in the middle of the same game. We havent had this happen before, and hopefully it wont happen again. It wouldve been terrible if a small child was playing the game.
This is the second time that we hit the ad at the bottom and you cant get it to go back to the game. We had to delete and replace it. Wont happen again.
Are words misspelled on purpose, or you just dont know how to spell.
We enjoyed the game until ads popped up after every round. Now its more bother than fun.
Boring to wade through all the ads for other games. Takes the fun out of this one.
All of a sudden long, long ads have been introduced….easily 10 X longer than the time it takes us to finish 1 puzzle. Not worth our time anymore. Buh, bye.
