Community Insight:
Great game but with too many pop up ads. Very annoying.
We were really enjoying this fun game until they have a pop-up cash ad that gets you stuck and you cant go back to the game no matter how many times you try and then it pops up in your Safari history so it just seems like a big scam too bad because.
Ads are understandable. This has too many. Deleted 5 min after downloading. Not worth it.
How can restore our progress on our new phone Gmail isnt popping up on Facebook and apple.
This game seems to be frozen and flickering. Are there anyone else with this problem.
Too much time spent in ads. Didnt even have time to see and evaluate the game itself.
Way too many ads. Cant enjoy the game.
Be prepared to have excessively long ads, so annoying. They should be no longer than 30 seconds at the most. Preferably 10-15 seconds.
Enjoyed playing this game it just has too many ads. Which takes up most of your time playing.
The ad we clicked was for logic. Ive done ten SUPER simple crosswords and so far, the game is nothing like the ad. Deleting. Disappointed. Corrected to 2 stars. There is a logic section, but its still not like the ad shows. And you have to play the super easy and slow crosswords after a few logic games. Still deleting.
The game itself is great but the ads are insane! Yes we understand they have to make their money, but we play several games with ads and none of them are to this extent! You should offer an add free version for purchase. Im about to stop playing because of the constant bombardment of ads.
We were really looking forward to playing this game but it is nothing like the ad. Its just very simple crossword. We love word games but am deleting as it is not at all what we expected.
The instructions say type the word and then hit enter. On the iPad, there is no enter key, just delete and undo.
We love this game, but lately it is broken. The ads glitch, the game glitches. It doesnt give a reward for playing an ad like it should. The trivia sticks/glitches and thinks you played when ALL you did was watch the required ad. Then it tells you to give up without having gotten even one trivia question. Hopefully the developers can fix the glitches. And there are exorbitant ads. Complete a level and you get an ad. Do anything else on your device and reopen the game without closing the window on your device and you get another ad. AND the ads are at least one minute with multiple windows that REQUIRE the use to close that window in the ad to get passed the ad. We are not stupid. We know you need ads to keep the game free, but we also know that you get money from the stream ads at the bottom of the pages. Probably Much more than the ads between levels. Its time to figure out what you want. Money from the ads or people to play your game. Without us you get Nothing! We see you have Not changed anything since our review. We are soooo tired of extensive ads. We should at least be able to move on from a completed level without getting an ad to claim our coins/prize. Other games do this and so should this one. Just take out the add for completion of a level! You responded in words to our first review, but it was JUST WORDS, NO ACTION on your part to make the game better. Trust us, we know exactly how the ads/banners work for you to get money from those advertisers. We did it with a website over 20 years ago and the money covered stuff so got free internet and free website storage to support the website. Again, time to make a change!!!!!!! Less ads.
We see other comments that saying there are too many ads isnt a fair way to rate games, but its a fact. We enjoy playing, but this game has more ads (some are quite long if you are trying to get extra guesses) than any other app Ive downloaded. So if you have patience, you should enjoy playing.
We do enjoy this game and we understand the need for ads, BUT the ad banners at the top and bottom of the screen block buttons needed for play. Anything to do about that.
English is definitely not the first language of the developers.
This is a well-designed game but there are several things we really dont like. First, there are too many ads. We dont mind some ads but we expect to get a bit of a break from them after Ive been playing for an hour. These days loyalty is measured in minutes, not days. Sticking with a game with lots of ads for an hour should be rewarded with fewer ads. Ive found some that actually do that, so if the dev says that cant be done, its not true. Second, the game actually consists of two subgames. One of them is sort of like a crossword where it gives you hints and you fill in the answer. If youre right, it rewards you by filling in some of the letters in the rest of the puzzle. And by some, we mean most. When we get to the last clue and the letters S E C O N are already there, we dont even need to read the clue to know the answer is SECOND. There are only 6-7 words in the puzzle, and after word #4, most of the rest are obvious. This removes the challenge to our 71-year-old brain, which is why we play word games in the first place. We had this same complaint about the absolute best game in this genre, Cody Cross, and the devs actually listened and cut back on the number of free letters. We were thrilled! (Hey, dont judge us. At our age it really is the little things that sometimes matter most.) The other subgame is a logic puzzle that is even better for brain exercise. It consists of a chart with 3-4 rows and 3-4 columns. Each puzzle has a theme, like Camping. Hints help you figure out what goes in each square based on what the other squares contain. For instance, All the words in this row have three letters or Tent and Flashlight are in the same column. This reminds us of IQ tests we took in high school! We dont know if there are other subgames included because we havent finished exploring the game yet. P.
As English is not our first language, we are learning a lot from this game. Its fun to play, cleverly designedCongrats to the developers. We found this game as an add from another game.
Requires you use your brain. Only problem is that some times it freezes and stays frozen fo hours. Even restating our tablet doesnt help.
Been playing this game and try to do daily & extra spins and the ads wont play so no extra rewards!!! Cant watch videos if its just a black screen and wont do anything!! Please fix ASAP.
Ive enjoyed this game up until we get a question related to gender inequality! We dont need to be schooled by a f..ing game.
Like the challenges and it helps us think, BUT,,,TOO MANY ADDS!!!!! THEY FREEZE THE GAME! Am really sick of this, ready to delete the game.
Your ads at the bottom are blocking the keyboard. You cant solve a a puzzle fix this.
Is one of the better games Ive played except for all the ads that continue to run it drains your phone battery twice as fast and your phone overheats causing it to freeze Fix the issue.
Based on the ads we saw and the description we expected an actual crossword game. This is literally just straight up trivia not even in a crossword format.
We understand that the way you make money is through ads but to have one after EVERY game is ridiculous! We play many games and this one is the worst. Love the game, but deleting because of ads.
Waaaaay to easy, we flew through so many levels, to find out we were wasting our time. So we had our 5th grade kid do it, he flew through it like we did but was stumped on a number of questions.
Game is stupid if you rate it above 2 stars your dumb and no one should waste their time playing this stupid game.
We like the game. But there are too many video ads. Every time you finish a puzzle or click somewhere in the app, you are forced to watch an ad. And the worth thing is that you cant mute any of the videos. Will be deleting the app.
The trivia part of the game could be great fun but the questions are difficult and random (not categorized) and each question is followed by an ad (even if you get it right). The logic portion is great but the tables dont fit on our iPad screen which is a problem – might be okay on other devices. Worse, you have to play numerous crossword clues to play one logic puzzle. The crossword portion is the majority of the game and is okay, but not great. This app has good points but is definitely much more frustrating than fun overall, IMO.
This could be a five star game except for the ads. You play a game, then an ad. Play another and another ad, It gets old fast. Have endured this through 1400 levels so far and it has been the same each time. Also the puzzles are now requiring you to look up the answers since they are so uncommon or again watch an ad for a hint. We are fed up and deleting the game.
Great game just way to many ads. We keep getting a pop up saying that our phone is to close to our eyes so when we close it it gives us ads! We give consent to watching ads for thing but we dont when we get ads for something we cant control.
We truly enjoy this game but what we dont enjoy is when the game just shuts down! Sometimes it shuts down when Im in the middle of the game. It would also help if you had a pause button so you dont have to start all over again! Its really one of our favorite games.
Some of the questions are not easy for us to understand but we have to ask our parents if they will help us with the hard questions we are not saying that we dont like asking them to help us.Other than that the game is great.
Why do show puzzles and games that are not on the app Im on over 100 games never got a puzzle who ad .like tv crosswords and ,guessed the pic and more.
Great game! But it keeps crashing after you complete levels.
We wish there was a one time fee instead of all the ads.
Great game but the ads are IMPOSSIBLE! You play one game and then the ads take over FOREVER.
Not worth it. Every puzzle there are ads. Almost every one is for Royal Match, which we have had for a long time, but the ads are nothing like the game. Very misleading. Also it takes at least FIVE clicks to get rid of it. Too annoying. Ill find another word game.
As seen from other ads on similar brain games, we thought we would give this game a go. We played it for about 2 weeks now and we did notice an abundance of ads that are more than usual for free games. We do not like the concept of an ad popping up every time we go to reply to a text. It is also worth noting that this game will drain your battery dry and make your phone overheat. We have the latest iOS downloaded and our phone battery goes down about 10% after playing it for only 20 mins.
This game was a complete lie. On their commercial it claimed to be a country music crossword puzzle but there is absolutely nothing to do with music. It also took 30 levels just to get to themed puzzles, which still was no music. Dont false advertise.
This advertisement is not what is really in the game there are no puzzles like what is advertised when someone is playing other games. Totally false advertising. If your going to advertise whats in your game then those things should be in the game. Like the crossword type of game we seen while looking at advertisements for your game. There needs to be other types of games like you advertise to keep a player from becoming bored with your game.
Every time we beat a level the app crashes and cant even report it.
This app advertises you may purchase an add free version for $1.99 This is not true. They dont make the game add free, but instead reduce the amount of adds the purchaser experiences.
This could be a five star game except for the freezing ads. You play a game, then an ad. Play another and another ad. Many of the ads freeze the game so you have to restart your iPad. It gets old fast. Have endured this through 365 levels so far and it has been the same each time. Also we have a newer IPad so that isnt the problem. Our husband plays and has the same problem, very frustrating. None of the updates ever fix this.
Way too many adds and no option to remove them.
Good passtime as we love this game. How come when we paid for no ads and that im still getting ads.
We really like this game but to many ads, we spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Is there a way to get rid of the ads.
We love this game! However we easily get frustrated because there is absolutely entirely too many ads. We understand thats how you make money but omg its almost not tolerable.
