Too Many Ads
You better love ads if you download this game! They’re played not only after every game, but at least 3 times during the level itself. Also, after a certain amount of levels, they start repeating, so it becomes very repetitive. I will be deleting soon.
Crashed twice
Made my phone crash twice
Freezes up
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!This is a fun game and I’ve played it for quite a while. But lately it freezes up and you can’t exit it.
Poor Quality
Game freezes iPhone up regularly. Game associations are at times so difficult the only option is to begin again as the clues drop in and often you don’t have a group of four until beginning again.
Great concept, helps drive cognitive strategy, execution is in infancy.

Not worth it if it wasn’t for another app
There are several annoying things to this game - if it wasn’t for another app pay out I would have deleted it already. The game consistently freezes which requires a force close. Numerous misspellings on words. Matches made that won’t “match” until after a hint is used. And the fact that I pay for no ads and there are still random ads is by far the most annoying.
Keeps freezing
I can barely play this game because it keeps freezing. Then I have to restart the game and go into the level again. Not worth it when it happens every 2-3 minutes
Unsafe issue
This game freezes up your phone where you cannot close out the game or do any other function on your phone besides shut your phone down. That’s very unsafe and this issue has not been fixed in over a month. Support for the game is unreliable. I have since deleted the game.
Ads Ads Ads
Ads before the game. Ads DURING the game. Ads after the game. You spend more time exiting ads than actually playing.
Great concept, bad tech.
Such a cool idea for a game, but it freezes constantly. Slows down other apps running in the background.
Freezes
My phone completely froze on a screen of the game. Once I got it back up, I tried the game many times but it just kept happening. Deleted right after.
Stuck all the time
Game keeps getting stuck mid levels all the time
Fun but buggy
I'm actually really enjoying the game play, but for the last week or so, it's been crashing and freezing my phone every few minutes. It's almost unplayable in this state.
Fun for some
Wish I could look at the finished puzzle. Also wish I could unmask the pictures to see the words they represent. Frustrating game.
App not working!!!
Just wondering why the app is not working and it keeps stalling and pausing and freezing my screen? PLEASE FIX
Freezes Too Much
Freezes too much. Can’t enjoy the game.
Constant shutfown
I can’t play a continuous game w/o having my phone freeze up and then having to close and restart several times. I like the game but the constant freezing and restart is frustrating.
Sticking
Keeps freezing
Terrible
Freezes whole device for 5 minutes not able to use phone at all
The amount of ads are RIDICULOUS
They trick you when you first download by letting you play a few rounds without and maybe a few in between games, but then it gets worse, that’s why I NEVER REVIEW IMMEDIATELY because then the ads happen EVERY TIME YOU SOLVE A LINE and the ads have false Xs that you have to click several times to exit- then you watch an ad to get a hint. Solve a line immediately after and AGAIN ANOTHER AD BREAK. If it was JUST inbeween rounds I wouldn’t be so chaffed but AT EVERY TURN THERES AN AD. Literally ONLY dealing with it because I’m playing on Freecash and getting LITERAL CENTS FOR WASTING MY TIME. It’s insulting all the way through.
GAME IS RIGGED DOWNLOAD TO WATCH ADS
The game forces you to watch ads. You can guess correctly and the game still won’t register the correct word groups, forcing you to watch ads and use the games hint system. Fun concept, poor execution. Shame.
Game doesn’t match the ad
Irritating to download a game that plays differently than what the ad shows. I already have games that play like this and I like them. Deleting this one.
Annoying ads and buggy game
When I was in the middle of a level, the game interrupted me with a pop up that said ad break, it showed me an unskippable 45 second ad. They also show one every time after you beat a level. This game is forcing you to pay money to block ads. The gameplay is also buggy as the tiles won’t move the way that you pressed them. The hint sometimes doesn’t even do anything and that is a waste of my item. Overall this is a cash grab that you should avoid for better word games that don’t glitch out.
Awful game support
I had one puzzle that I had the only possible word group left and it wouldn’t mark as correct. I used hints and the hints showed that they belonged together but still wouldn’t let me move on. I even looked it up (which I hate) and every one said my word grouping was correct. I contacted support and got the automatic response saying it would take 4 working days but they usually do it quicker. Well it’s been 3 weeks and still nothing. I even sent reply’s to that email like it says I could and nothing. I contacted support a second time and still only received the auto message. My kids and I did enjoy the game but thanks to no support answer haven’t been able to move on from puzzle 41 so the app is completely useless now since it’s stuck on that one puzzle.
Too many ads
By far the worst with many ads. The game itself is fun but you have to watch 3+ ads per game. The only option to remove ads is a weekly fee, there isn’t an option to permanently remove them, which gives off greedy from creator.
I made it to level 14 before becoming so annoyed with the ad breaks. Deleting.

ADS
Way to many ADs, really dumb I have to pay to have no ads.
What happened?
Got up to the high 400s and now all levels pop up completed Impossible to play now. Deleted 😢
Glitch
Got to a certain level and it glitched. Deleted the game.
Levels
Currently, as the app is opened the next game will show up already completed and it moves onto the next level without doing anything. Other times, the whole screen will freeze and you have to turn the phone off to be able to use any functions of the phone. Or, the app will immediately show ads upon opening it.

Rate 7 minutes
Slowly played three rounds in 7 minutes wasn’t the best 7 minutes, wasn’t the worst, have played far greater games. Would rate 4 out of 10.
Fun but slow
Game keeps freezing up. Really frustrating
Latest update
Ever since this latest update, my game is loading slowly or not at all. It just sits on the title opening page but at 0%. I’ve tried restarting my device but that doesn’t help so it must be the game. Please fix this because I like the game and am in level eight hundred something…..but this might make me stop playing if it never opens…
Meh
The game is nice. I like it a good bit but there are more ads than game and the buying ad free for $2.99 a week is stupid and expensive. I’ll find something similar with less ads thanks.
Freezes
It’s honestly a fun game, but the freezing and lagging is making it not enjoyable. Extremely frustrating.

Some are to hard for me
Needs more than little tweaking
This app is a lot of fun, but it can be confusing. However, this could be easily alleviated by simply listing the associated category when the player touches the symbol representing the commonality of the 4 items it represents. Sometimes the icon cannot clearly by deciphered and sometimes 2 categories close simultaneously and I did not have time to view all 4 elements in the category. Sometimes I just forget what it represents. Other games I play bring up the category when I touch the icon. I wish this one did. I still cannot tell what a group icon represents. Fix it by typing the name of the categoric you touch. The icons are very nebulous and easily forgettable. Aldo, the last category closes up before you can

App glitching
I love the app and I bought add free and as soon as I did the app literally started flickering and I have to force quit. Smh
Keeps freezing
I have enjoyed the game. The ads are long but worse has been that the app keeps freezing up requiring me to shutdown my phone or iPad. Sadly I have to stop playing
Keeps freezing up
I have a brand new iPad, this is the first game I’ve downloaded that froze up multiple times. Had to delete it
Could be better
I really liked the game but there are way too many ads. There is an “ad break” in between every level. You also have to watch 2 ads to get a helper clue for the game. I uninstalled.
Freezes
I like this app but this game freezes after one match. It’s very frustrating.
Too many ads
Game is fairly fun, but not enjoyable with ad breaks in middle of game. Why rating is low
Crashes and freezes my phone every level
Fun game but hard to get past the game freezing and crashing my game every single level without fail
Freezes
Game is fun but freezes 6 or 7 times on every level and o have to exit out completely each time
Ads
Way too many ads. Especially obnoxious are the ad breaks which occur during a level. As soon as the level ends the player is treated to another ad. I have to pay money to end ads. Sorry. I won’t do that you need to pay me for my time watching the same ads over and over and over ad nauseam. I like the game. It is engaging and can be challenging but the ads ruined it for me. I’m out.
Bit difficult
It all depends on the level I guess because this game is a bit boring
Not As Advertised
The advertised game and the actual game are not the same. Very disappointing.
Love the game!
I’m hooked on this game but getting tired of all the ads. They play the same ads over and over. They ruin the game. You can pay to stop the ads but for only a week at a time. Too bad you can’t pay once and be done with ads altogether.
Game freezes constantly
I actually loved the game til I got further up and it’s constantly freezing and not connecting the words together. Ugh. Wayyyyy too many ads. Absolutely ridiculous on the amount of ads you have.
Crashes often
Fun…when it works. I’ve had to restart multiple levels due to an error.
