Too many ads.
Too many ads. They interrupt every couple of minutes, even mid-play. they're too frequent to be worth it.

Categories don't fit with some of the items/words which shouldn't happen in a game. It should be fun not confusing and pointless.
I'd give it Zero stars if I could. Jam packed with ads.
Game is good, it's even a challenge. Tooooo many ads. after 54 levels, and more than 200 ads while your playing a level under the title "ad break" is terrible. Having to see an ad to get a clue is relatively acceptable, but when you find a row and complete it, then have to watch an ad to continue is past just revenue, it is now money gouging.
Some of the words they associate with according to the game creators absolutely does not make sense. I had numerous times had all 4 words in a row & told me it was not a match but when I go to get a hint & tried to match the other 2 words somehow the 2 words I tried before magically is a match all of a sudden. Sucks you ha e to go through several levels just to get a prize which is only one lousy hint.
Not very interesting in the absence of dictionary or meaning.
too much advertising
great game BUTthe ads are so 1 go and then ad after ad try to opt out or buy with no ads no price shame
The ads are highly intrusive, 3 times in one level is ridiculous. I don't see why I can pay a few bucks to turn off the ads. Deleting it now.
I like this game, but it is constantly crashing. It will crash and then go back 2 or 3 finished puzzles and show that they were never done, needing for them to be solved again. I am very close to uninstalling it and never recommending it to anyone! It wouldn't let me post this without stars, so the one is merely a token!
I find it frustrating as it hides words associated and only reveals it after you complete a line. The guessing side gets to me. Also names that are hard to associate.
too many ads
It is wrong to interrupt a game with an AD BREAK. It's enough to put ad's between games but when a game does ad breaks in the middle of the playing, these do not deserve my TIME. I truly wish I could give ZERO stars. UNINSTALLED.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too adds!
false advertising. invitation stated ad free. it is not
ads in the middle of game play is ridiculous.
I've never been more disappointed in a game. It's super educational and fun but, the ads! Every 30 seconds, an ad break! Not between levels but in the middle of playing. I'm not exaggerating, I couldn't enjoy the game at all. There was more ad time than game time. I get that you can pay to have no ads in games but this was insane. If you get the ads under control, I'd like to play the game. Until then, I'll play others.
The game is good. But my goodness the level of ads is ridiculous. I uninstalled it.
This might be a good game for a 3 year old or someone learning english.
way too many ads
the developers must be RAKING it in from ad revenue. there is an ad banner on the bottom of the screen at all times, plus usually two ads per level. That's too many for my patience. app deleted.
Way too many ads, first few levels are fine, but as you go on, you make one match in a level and it plays an ad. Could accept 1 after a level, but 3 while playing a level is way too much, disrupts the game play and is no longer fun. I have uninstalled.
like it but an uninstalling. Reason is, when I saw the ad for it, it said no ads. But while playing, that's all I\seeing were ads, it even interrupted me 3 times while I was on 1 screen!
I started playing this game with my kids, was enjoying it. but the adds are ridiculous their constant not even 1 minute and another add. so for that reason I am unistalling has we would like to play the game not watch adds.
What I don't like about this game is you get yanked into an ad without notice. Then you spend a minute or two trying to get rid of the ad. They think that if you spend too much time playing the game, they need to interrupt. I know they use this tactic to get you to buy the game. I have a strategy of my own. If I can play a game without interruption between levels, I will buy it. This game is a deal breaker. Uninstalling.
it says it has no annoying ads. Thats not true. every level there is a add
Way to many ads. Can't deal. UNINSTALLING
ads in the middle of game 👎👎👎 at least play the ad AFTER the level is complete
I didn't like this app because they keep not showing all the cards to keep playing. so I'm going to uninstall it now. It was fun.
too many forced ads
I really like this game but there are TOO MANY ADS! update... I'm on level 426 and I'm done. Deleting the game. TOO MANY ADS!
far too many ads
Too many ads!
Games fine, ads are absolutely awful and why I'm uninstalling.
Too many Ads. Don't mind a few for free play, but it gets ridiculous. Game is fun when not watching the ads.
its an alright game but after awhile touching the matched tiles has stopped showing what they are identified as, and the ads become longer and drawn out.. it was entertaining but this has made it less inviting.. eventually uninstalled
like the game and could even live with ads at the end of each round. But multiple times in each round is too much so I'm deleting.
This game was fun until the forced ads started in the middle of the levels. What a way to ruin the game. An ad at the end of a level is understandable, but during a level is inexcusable. Uninstalling.
Not a bad game just too many ads.
Started playing this and forced ads on me very early. Uninstalled
Unbelievable amount of ads. 4 or 5 separate ads pop up on each board play.
after level 5 goes to ad screen and no way to exit ad screen
SUPER greedy with the ads. you will want to buy the ad free version because you are being bombarded with the ads constantly. too bad it cost $13 in my local currency which is a foul amount of money to pay when Connections style games are available for free online. rating 2 stars because underneath the predatory ads and costs, it is an interesting game.
I love this game. But your lengthy ads are ruining it. why not consider shorter ads for your hint options instead of a full minute?
it started out great for the first seven levels after that every time you play the level you had to watch an ad so I'm uninstalling because I don't like having 50 ads on 40 seconds
In my opinion there are two types of games, those that want to give the player a good experience and those that want to make as much money as possible. Unfortunately this is the latter. I know people have to make money, I get that and I'm not naive enough to play a game and not have some ads, but guys seriously, 3 ad-breaks on just one level is just far too much. Such a shame as the game itself is good
