Add an option to let me turn off the stupid flame thing that pops up all the time. I don't care about a daily streak, I'm not 10 years old.
way too ad heavy with pervasive and invasive advertising. It used to be acceptable ratio but in the last couple months its more time with ads running than there is game play.
Terrible invasive ads, half of which never give any way to skip or even CLOSE requiring me to close the whole app and restart it.
Far too many ads, uninstalled
Cash grab. Your reward for playing is getting to watch an ad.
does not work keeps blacking out then closes
1. too many ads. 2. games aren't that great 3. tooo many ads
too many adds and scam game ads
this is ad HEAVY!!! watched a few ads for hints and it didn't give me the hints. Just too me back to the home game screen!! not impressed
The first game I played was convoluted and the number of ads made it unbearable to push through and try more.
too many ads, cannot play without internet
Ads are longer than gameplay. Has acronyms in games based on full words. Had to look up what an "ISA" is, only to find it's an acronym not a word.
it's a very unstable app. all my other apps work on the wifi. this either keeps looking for a stable connection (wonder what that means) or gives an error message asking to contact the developer or retry. horrible user experience
I don't care to be held hostage by Google to be forced to answer surveys for ads. games offered are fine. wish there was a way to back out without penalty if I decide I don't want to do it. there's a couple I can never remember the difference and I won't go into them now, b/c I'm stuck in it once I enter even if I don't want to do it. there needs to be a description of each game somewhere so, when we forget what it is, we can go look.
got the answer correctly in one guess, and STRAIGHT TO AN AD 🤣 fastest uninstall on record. literally five seconds of gameplay.
Was forced to watch an unskippable ad after completing a single puzzle. Immediately uninstalled. do better.
(aka: testerzero) many will give 5* so this 1* won't hurt them... The exact deal breaker: when thunderstorm was not accepted for thunder... piss off v piss on.... uninstalling...
Worst game of my life. After each and every game there is an unskippable annoying advertisement which just ruins the environment of the game. If there is a rating where we can rate negatively I will give a "Minus Infinite" rating for the ads. Developers you guys make games to earn money but think about the players for once. I've spent more time seeing ads rather than playing the game. #Disgusting Ads Ever.
this is a fun game. deleted cause spend more time watching ads than playing game. kill the ads. way to many. don't waste your time unless you love watching ads more than playing the game.
so many ads I had to give 1 star from two accounts lol
I feel like I've lost brain cells playing these games
way too many ads can barely play
I highly disapprove in the recent ads for your game, and their use of generative AI. It makes the app look like the same cheaply-made, addictive slop that many other mobile apps are. But I know that this app is better than that. Your games are fair, thoughtfully designed, and entertaining. I just hoped you would know better than to deny the creativity of real artists by using AI to sell your games. It's artificial, unethical, and bad for the environment. I know your better than this.
WAS fun.... I really enjoyed playing this game for the 1st couple days I had it. Tried to play it yesterday and it would only load to 21% and stop and tried again today, same. I tried the usual 'fixes' and nothing worked so now I guess it's time to delete....
there is more time spent watching ads then playing the games
puzzles are alright, but I don't see an option to try others. for example, I know sudoku is somewhere in here, but my home screen doesn't have it and no menu option I have found will allow me to change the home screen. 1 star for functionality failure
The ads. I don't mind a few short ads, what keeps the engine running. But these ads, can't do anything without a horrible long ad. I couldn't even properly access the puzzles. Couldn't stand it! I uninstalled the app before I really got to try the puzzles.
Very slow app. 99% ads got stuck, can't return to game.
everything needs an add.
There is no way to opt out of any kind of commercial snooping aka "legitimate" interest. Uninstalled before I even tried the game.
not only stupid, but full full full of ads from the first level. at least other games they let you play till certain levels like level 10+15 till ads. Horrible I uninstalled it immediately
Love, Love, Love this game but its glitched out twice now. First time I had to delete it and reinstall, which meant I lost all my progress. Now its happened again. Sent email as instructed but a week on, no response from Fanatee. Absolutely gutted as I played literally every day. If Fanatee cba to fix it, or even respond, it says a lot about their philosophy as a developer
BORING
Too Many Ads makes this not fun
I cant get the game to load further than 26% to even try it. Tried without VPN and using VPN for UK and USA yet no change.
some of the questions are too regional. keyboard interferes with phone buttons, causing me to get a "mistake" when i had no intention of answering.
Ads are getting very intrusive and it's making me upset because I really enjoyed this game. I will probably uninstall....thanks toyota and amazon for ruining this for me..
App keeps crashing. It crashes during game play and random ads play during game play (not at the end or if I need a hint). It used to entertaining, but the app crashes have ruined it for me. please fix for galaxy s23 ultra.
been playing for a few weeks and loved it. Then app started crashing so I reinstalled it and lost all of my progress. Huge bummer because I had made it to level 16. now I have to start over...not sure its worth it with all of the ads and not sure I want to pay to remove them with the crashing concerns.
One of the questions was name school raffle prizes. Two I've never seen in any school raffle was alcohol and books. Alcohol??! Really?! In a SCHOOL raffle? Not in any school in our country nor would you find books. Nobody wants books in a raffle prize! Would have to be your particular genre of interest.
too many ads
New puzzles introduced recently have turned this app into a guessing game and not a test of skill and logic. Sorry, I am deleting it.
have been playing for awhile amd was really loving it. trying to keep my mind agile. but lately it keeps crashing
Good selection of puzzles, but the adverts became too much. Clicking 3 times to close an ad, 2 ads each time. Nope, have removed the whole app. The new word chain puzzle is very poor.
I want to really like this game but it constantly crashes on my phone! it makes it unplayable and so frustrating! and there's constant ads too! and the amount of coins you get for completing each puzzle compared to how much each hint costs makes it not worth it! With all of that in mind, I really do like the idea of this game it was just poorly executed.
loved it, then it got a little worse with the consensus minigame, which is just guessing, but at least you get a topic. now they ruined it with word chain. this minigame has nothing to do with skill of knowledge.
I really enjoyed this app. but unfortunately after playing it for a few weeks, suddenly my tablet was full up with pop up ads, that I couldn't get rid of, and I eventually had to take my tablet back to factory settings
Was enjoying, but recent update changed ads. The change made it so the close button, and fast forward button for ads that are forced after every game are much, much smaller, making it very difficult to close them. The amount of ads has also increased.
