2025-02-03 | It was advertised as having no ads... BS. It's a nice relaxing game, with plenty of ads. UPDATE #1 (after developer's reply): I understand that ads are what make it possible for you to monetize the game, but then don't advertise it as having no ads! That's deception. UPDATE #2: The games are very simple to solve. You'll spend more time clicking away ads than you will playing the game. The sole purpose of this game is to shove ads at you. Play a game for 30 seconds then watch ads for 2 minutes. | ||
2025-02-03 | Very entertaining. However, they lack word continuity (words you use in one won't necessarily count as words in a later puzzle with the same letters). It's very annoying. As others have said, your tips and such will automatically get used if you step away from the game for a few seconds. For those of you who use hints, it's going to annoy you. Ads can use extreme overhaul. Ads glitch and won't play = you won't get ad-given perks. 2 stars until both continuity and ad glitches are fixed. | ||
2025-01-31 | I like playing this game, but the Snapchat ads are about to make me uninstall. They are constant, and open the Snapchat app no matter if you touch the ad or not. When you get an ad every time you get to a next level, it's incredibly annoying to have to 1. Sit through the ad, but then 2. Have to close out of the freaking Snapchat app because the ad opens it up! If it's not fixed soon, I'm done. | ||
2025-01-30 | I love this game, love how it gets increasingly harder,however...I can't play videos anymore for coins! I've tried chatting with support, no reply, I've even downloaded it on my work phone and it will not play either. My wifi is fine and I really don't think taking it off and installing it will fix it. I've made purchases before but I'm not going to buy coins, help! I really love this game and don't want to lose my progress. | ||
2025-01-29 | It was a visually stimulating game, however, it has numerous issues. For one, i dislike how my paper airplanes get auto-used without any of my discretion, especially considering how these can be purchased for real money. My next issue is the advertisement system. I'm cool with optional ads, but the pop-up short ads are extremely intrusive and immersion-breaking, along with the scam ads on the bottom. What's worse is the ad-free option is a subscription, not a single purchase. | ||
2025-01-23 | This was fun for a few days, but then I got an ad for a book (on Amazon) and despite waiting, every time I tried to close it (after waiting for the cross to appear) it just kept taking me to Amazon, so I have had to stop playing as it is stuck on this advert. If you close the app and restart then you can continue....it just seems to be the Amazon adverts that get stuck in a "doom loop". | ||
2025-01-22 | I love this game a lot! But it started repeating words around level 800. I cleared data and started over at level 1 again. It did great until level 1200. Now, the background picture doesn't change anymore after each chapter, its stuck on a frozen mountain top now. Not a big deal, tho I miss the other scenery. BUT it also keeps randomly freezing while I'm playing! I have to exit out and restart at the beginning of the level because it didn't save my progress. Otherwise, I do love this game! 🩷 | ||
2025-01-18 | It's fine, but it starts way too easy (much easier than the ads for it show). I don't need flowers or coins or butterflies in my word app. just give me a word game, put in ads so you make your money. that's all it needs to be. all the other junk just gets in the way. most of the puzzles have critical words missing (you get a bonus for them?) and a lot of them have "words" that are absolutely not words. | ||
2025-01-17 | Downloaded because of their claim to "no ads". Doubted it to be true. If you do any of the side tasks you get regular ads like you see everywhere. It was good if I stayedon the main track only, until about level 70, when ads started after every round. I'm deleting, despite the word game portion being fine. I can get the same thing from others who don't lie about it. | ||
2025-01-14 | It has different options of words games, which is nice. But I watched an ad stating there were No ads, and no wifi needed. So I was under the pretense that there would be no ads. And after 11 'chapters', the ads started. Asking if I wanted to pay for no ads. So only 3 stars, because it's a good game. But it lied from the get go. |
