Congratulations for allowing me to skip the tutorial. I hate when that's forced on me. Also congratulations for forcing me to use an item that I'll have to buy later rather than letting me bypass it and therefore having me delete your game within 3 minutes of gameplay. Way to go!
Was the best so I paid for no adverts. Worked great until I had to reboot my phone. Now the ads are back. No facility to restore ads. Customer services are ignoring me. I've lost money and I'm going to delete this app and download a similar one. Very disappointed.
this game was fun until they took away your ability to actually finish a level without having to use the commercial for a top up. Basically they took moves away so now you dont get enough moves to finish the board.. get enough for half maybe then u have to use the commercial for more moves. I am so sick of these game developers spamming us with commercial or forcing us to pay to remove them .. I would give 0 stars if I could. too bad too bc this is a fun game
Installs itself forcefully
I really hope this game didn't give my phone a virus!!! twice it took me to Google, opened a tab, and said I have a virus. it wanted me to click on something, which i did not!!! I am going to uninstall this game. it's not worth the risk
Terrible..WAY TO MANY ADS..Ads pop up every 3-4 moves. When you select option with "no ad" logo, it still takes you to a ad, then will crash and game will start over. couldn't get past level 8- crashed 4 times. I'm good - will be uninstalling after this post
I was enjoying this game but got tired of the ads especially the intrusive malware type ads popping up in the middle of play. I have uninstalled the game a shame because I really did enjoy the game.
pretty good game but really starts to stretch the meaning of "associate" after a while
I hate this game! it started as an ad that would not go away. i downloaded it with the hope that it would leave me alone. no such luck.it would not let me play any of my games. they are all locked up. fix this please! I will uninstall this game.
Not enough turns for the average player, forced to watch ad after ad for more turns.
Fun game at first. Difficulty quickly ramped up so that levels were too difficult to compete without ads or paying. Tried an ad but there was no option to return to the game afterward. Instead I was stuck with either downloading the game or ... nothing. I don't understand the great reviews, maybe people are just comparing it to even worse alternatives.
too many ads
Fake advertising just one language
"Ugliness" is NOT a human flaw. "The game can be completed in the alloted amount of moves." Lie. Bs: Its called *random.* Also: Sometimes the extra slots are necessary, bc again, random. I don't mind watching a video for bonuses, it makes the game free... Except when "Video isn't available"??!
This game forces you to watch ads to open slots for your decks...crazy watching many many ads to still not be able to move the cards. I Uninstall the game. Plus, many of the categories do not match up.
forced ads
needs to be reverted before the most recent update. got rid of watching ads to double card pulls, shaking card hint and it's just way less enjoyable.
do not advertise your game as no ads when there are ads after every level once yiu hit a level.
Wants money to play on but forget the internet is not free to use.
the update completely ruined the game, uninstalled instantly. they added flashes, brighter screen, removed the shaking card hint, custom background👎👎👎 original review: amazing game, unfortunate viruses. literally would be perfect if the viruses would quit popping in midgame. not too many ads, good challenges, new cards while reusing the more obscure words to build vocabulary. I'm going to try updating & see if that stops the viruses but if not, I'll be heartbroken to have to uninstall
Forced ads after completing levels 0 stars
The game is basically UNPLAYABLE due to the MALWARE STYLE ADS that basically FORCE YOU TO INSTALL OTHER APPS.
Was fun but the ads for extra moves doesnt work. I was 3 moves away, watched an ad for 20 more and it just restarted the entire game.
garbage ! purposefully select bad order of cards so you must see advertisement. And if you don't watch ads, they won't sort the cards in a just way
Initially fun but after ten or so levels you start getting an ad after every single level, even if you need to retry it. That's an automatic uninstall for me.
Has a move counter
I like playing this, but there are 3 problems: many words don't match the catagory card. Sometimes, when I try a word with every catagory on screen, none will accept it, even if it actually DOES belong in that catagory. I think it does that so the player has to watch more ads. Problem 3: When one HAS to watch an ad, they go on FOREVER most times. There's rarely an X, or Close-nothing! l had to watch ads for over an hr & it wouldn't reward me, it'd just shut down & reload! UNINSTALLING!
Well over half the puzzle scenarios are unsolvable, requiring multiple restarts to find the what feels like 1 out of 5 (per round) setups that will pan out. This is the only version of this game that I've found that will not restart a round without you fully watching an ad (I usually close out of the program), which is pathetic. Words have no complexity and theres always a whole column that is unlockable via ad watching each and every round. This sucks. Got 2 stars because it never crashed.
When you actually get to play this game, it's fun. Unfortunately, unless you want to pay $13-$14 for no ads, you'll be spending more time watching commercials then actually playing. Finished a game? Watch a commercial. Need an extra column? Watch a commercial. Want to try again? Watch a commercial. And these ads are very long. 3 minutes for one, approximately. There are many of these types of games out there, I'm sure you can find one without so many long ads.
The ads are absolutely ridiculous, with nearly all of them being completely unskippable without closing out the app entirely. So those extra slots you can unlock with an ad? You can't. Game itself is nice but i had to uninstall because of that.
I like these games.But this one has a limited number of moves. I hate that.
Honestly so fed up with this one. Yes, there are no intrusive ads until after the levels BUT you can't beat half the levels without having to watch: 1 ad per additional slot you need (and they're designed so you need to unlock more slots), 1 ad per help bonus you need (which isn't even guaranteed to work, I used a hint and it did nothing), and these ads range from 30 seconds to a full MINUTE. This is not acceptable. Either make the levels easier or the ads shorter.
Ads are way to long, and also appear in the middle of gameplay. unistslling
ads often fail meaning you waste your time watching the whole add but get nothing in return. I would switch to another game but they're all terrible with this issue.
Way too many ads, and some would force open my browser in the middle of a game. The game would be okay if not for that, but that's a hard no for me.
I paid to have NO ADS, then I had to reinstall the game because of freezing issues. Guess what I have? ADS! I emailed twice to fix the issue, NO REPLY!
I just installed it but can't say I'm impressed. Besides the usual play, there isn't anything else, i.e. teams, mini games, etc. I don't see any leaderboards.
