I love the game but the app is TERRIBLE. I'm all for ads on free products but if I have to wait 3 minutes or can't even get past a playable ad, it is INFURIATING. No way am I going to pay 8 DOLLARS for the paid version. The only way to play this is in airplane mode which is utterly useless for device functionality. TERRIBLE, I wish I could give this 0 stars.

I love math. but not enough to watch an ad that runs longer than a round after every. single. round. no thank you. gross.
too much ads
the ads don't allow you to say no and get back to the puzzle. very frustrating
you really need to change your ad, it's promoting domestic violence! I will never play this game with the way you advertise the game!
the adds
didnt even have time to press play. 30 seconds unskippable ad.
Why? Why does the ad for this app start out with a man rearing back, to hit a woman from behind, that is sitting down with a metal folding chair??? Am I the only one that has a problem with this?? I downloaded the app just to be able to make this comment and make the content creator aware that this is unacceptable in any format. Period!! I will never play this app!!! The ad needs to be changed and reported to the Play Store! So inappropriate!!
Game is fine but they keep showing you other games to install with no clear way to bypass the ad and ply crossmath
I was having fun but the ai art ruined it for me
you have to go through an ad after every level, no thanks. I'll just play math puzzle games on chrome browser on my phone and not have to deal with all these adds
when i can play the game due to all the damn ads, I immediately erase the app. I couldn't get back in due to the stupid ads. I like the game but I'll never download again because if the ads. 5 seconds didn't work. you can't get back to the game. all the ads suck and make the game unenjoyable
Ads are countless, annoying and even have audio interference!! Ruins enjoyment of the app.
Ads you can't get out of without killing the entire app
According to this game 22-1= 14 idiots
tired of seeing ads for it so many I don't ever want to play it
it's not a math crossword game it's an ads machine
I was never able to get passed the adds to play the game. Not once!
good game but all levels of difficulty seem the same and the ads which every game has are annoying because you're automatically directed to the app store and there one that just lies to you saying that you have the old version of the game for this reason I will delete
Just a glorified Ad simulator. Probably should think of not scaring away your customers in the first 5 minutes.
This app has ads that play music even when the app sound is turned off. Edit: Thanks for your quick response. The ad music continued to play even after I closed the app. I had to force stop the app to stop the music. This did not happen with every ad; otherwise I like the game.
Uninstalled after the first ad that could not be dismissed. The developer claims this is a bug. For many apps, this is a feature.
I really liked the app initially, until it started playing unskippable ads after EVERY puzzle. If you accidentally press back on the puzzle, it would play an ad too. Just constant ads.
Was a great little free time killer, but sadly as always, good things must come to an end. Utterly polluted with unskippable ads. Even after waiting 30s for some adds you can't exit the ad and continue, needing to exit app and restart, sometimes forcing you to watch yet another ad.
annoying unskippable adds.
