Too many ads once you give them a rating in game…
It’s,great until you rate them. I uninstalled it.
So many ads

Don’t spend a penny on this game
This game does not show all the items to find initially but adds them gradually as you play so you end up going over and over the game screen looking at the same places over and again. Then when you get to the final item to search for, you cant find it. Even when you zoom way in. Then when you use a hint it shows you the item, and it’s in a place you’ve previously looked at many times while zoomed in. Waste of time getting fooled.
Variable
Love the graphics in this game. Challenging but not ridiculously hard to play on your phone. Too many ads. Keeps crashing. Some levels are very hard to see. The ads at the bottom of the screen play sometimes even though you have muted the sound. Not fun when you share a room. Less ads would be great or a cheaper way to remove them. Fix the crashing. I lose progress daily. Muting music and sound should include everything without exception.
The crashes have become unbearable. It crashes before you can play, during ads, in game play…this has been ongoing for months. You can’t enjoy a game if you can’t play it. I spend more time opening the game after a crash than I do playing it. Ridiculous!

Ads
I’ve played games with ads before, but the amount of ads in this game was extremely excessive. Deleting it now
Started off great
Started off great, then the ads popped up in increasingly frequent intervals…. Horrible!!! Uninstalled.
What’s with the giant ads?
I have been playing this game but all of a sudden giant ads are appearing that block out half the screen and make the game unplayable. Click it away and it comes back in three seconds. Horrible.
Major issues
I enjoy playing this game but lately the quality has been horrible. The game has been freezing up and glitching. Today it is now quitting after just few seconds. I have automatic updates for it and it is current. It’s a relaxing games but lately it has been terrible. Maybe they are trying to force people to pay for the app.
Cheaters
This game is not straight forward in any way. They take objects off and then add them back at a different place.
Cheaters!!!!!
Cheaters!!!!!
Don’t Download
Don’t download this app, the add will interrupt your search constantly sometimes you have found only one item between advertisement, it’s annoying and takes the focus out and if you are downloading this app just to practice focus this is worse option, the also have advertising for special items if the advertisement was on those or watch add to earn coin okay you are choosing to and not disruptive to the game but disturbing the game every minute just for adds is gluttony.
Ads
The amount of ads is ridiculous. You play for one minute and it’s back up. That’s a terrible user experience and shows that you just desperately need money.
Are yall ok?
Because why do you have so many ads? I play a lot of games and y’all are by far THE WORST! I understand an ad after you complete a level and even ok with the ads if you pause but why in Gods good name would yall put ads in the middle of the game and multiple ones at that!!?? Find two or three objects and then another ad. That’s def not gonna make me pay the 9.99 for no ads, it made me delete it. SMH
Uninstalled
I didn’t think it could get worse, but now every 15 seconds a “We ShOw YoU aDs To KeEp ThE gAmE fReE sO gIvE uS mOnEy To StOp” popup happens. I’m done.

The only way I’m paying for ad free is if it removes 100% of the ads. That includes the ads for boosters and the coins.
If you can’t be bothered to do that, then stop asking me if I want to watch a stupid ad to get a booster every 2 minutes is absolutely ridiculous. I want to play the game because it’s relaxing. There is no timer, no lives to worry about losing, nothing.
I do not need a booster just because I’m 1) not completing the puzzle fast enough (there is no timer so I can spend a month on one level if I want) or 2) because I’m not dropping actual money to buy boosters. They’re as unnecessary as your stupid “need a booster” flashing icon.
If I want a booster, I’ll get them because I want them. Not because you’re trying to force them on me. I’m honestly tempted to uninstall the game.
Oh, and before you “we’re sorry you feel this way. We’ll pass your suggestion to the appropriate department,” nonsense reply… no, you won’t. You know this booster thing is obnoxious which is why it’s there. You’re hoping people will either 1) give you money or 2) keep watching the ads so they don’t leave the game.

Too many ads
Entirely too many ads. Ads pop up multiple time while searching. Fun game but not worth the hassle
Ads always pop up
Too many ads.
NOT AD Free
I searched for ad free games. This one is not ad free. It started well, then an ad every 60 seconds or less and they are long ads! Stop selling this game as ad free.
No.
If i get one more of those ads about the mom and that child and how the ad plays stupid im losing it. And get me original with your levels because they just repeat themselves.
To many ads
The first couple of levels there were nearly any ads but as i got farther into the game there were ads every few minutes. Frustrating, deleted.
Deceitful
This game is frustrating. It keeps adding things to find as you find ones and then it only gives you so many hints to use by watching ads until it makes it impossible to find the rest of the items until you buy it. I completely recommend that you do not download this or even waste your time on it.
Loved until ads took over
I really was enjoying this game until ads started popping up continuously. I will be deleting soon if that doesn’t change.
Too many ads
They could very easily make it so the ads are more reasonable, but they’re not. If you can’t afford to make a free game, don’t make a free game.
Can’t Play w/o Constant Ad Interruptions
Very deceptive, start going up the levels then more ads appear more often. As you progress you can’t find objects unless you watch a certain amount of ads.
All hidden Objects are not completely revealed at first, they’re added to keep game interesting according to creators. But you can not find these new objects until you’ve watched more ads.
Was fun and cute but deleting.

Like a virus
After your ads locked any app I used and behaved like a virus, I will never buy your game. Reported to Apple as well.
Ads pop up in middle of game
I really liked the game A
and didn’t think the ads where bad until they randomly started popping up to tell me how many items I had left during the game. Super annoying and not worth playing because of it. I will be deleting it.

Terrible support
Support is basically bots that will drive you insane if you try to report any bugs. They will send multiple conflicting canned answers and never solve any issues, whether you pay for anything or not. There are better hidden object games. Don’t bother with this one.
i wanted to like it
game constantly freezes, makes my phone get extremely hot, drains my battery :( ads stay on the bottom of the screen but will occasionally play LOUD audio
Ads are annoying
Was fun but once I got to episode 19 the ads popping up every few minutes in the middle of an episode is annoying. I deleted the app because I can’t stand the constant pushing of ads.
Found it
About done with this game!!
It is beyond frustrating trying to play when it constantly kicks off, or freezes!!
It also burns my phone up!!
I hope you can fix these problems!!

Creepy levels
This game would be great if it kept the fun and cute levels, but unfortunately it gets really demonic in a few levels. I’m talking ouija boards and devils. It would have been nice to keep this as a fun and relaxing game for all ages, but that’s not the case. Sad!
First “free” trial episodes
First free trial episodes are great. But right around episode 6 and 7 there is a barrage of ads. Also game becomes frozen even having done the recommended list of tasks the game maker has. My game is still stuck on episode 8. This tells me all I need to know about investing money into this game for further use. Simply put I will delete this game. It’s not worth it , if the game makers are mediocre at simple tech issues as such.
Stops working
This game is fun but it quits and logs out every 5 minutes
Scam scam scam!!
This game is NOT FREE! They tell you that you have to watch the ads so they can keep the game free. But you need to watch the ads in order to get coins to buy boosters. It costs $10 to get rid of the ads, which after only 3 days, are coming every 30-45 seconds 😳😳, smack in the middle of a game! I’m fine to pay for boosters, but they’re FORCING PEOPLE to pay $10 for NOTHING!! That is SO WRONG. It’s a good game, but they screwed up with being greedy…..they have a ton of other games out there and I’m certain they aren’t hurting for money!
Tons of pop-up ads
I really like this game, but it got to the point where you can only play for a few minutes then you’re stuck watching ads It’s extremely irritating!
You will like this game if you like to watch ads
There are just ads every 30 seconds - you can’t even enjoy the game. Game is fun and cute though.
Still crashing
I’m really sick of it crashing every 3-5 minutes ! I can’t play! Fix this. I really liked the game even tho it has ads . They all have ads!
Fun Game But Too Many Ads
Most amount of ads I’ve ever seen in an app. Not kidding. Interrupted 8 times in one challenge (approx 20-25mins) with lengthy ads that don’t seem to end or give me a way to close them. I often have to close the entire game, reopen it and wait for it to load, then close 4 pop up screens, then reopen my game/challenge. Great game but very hard to enjoy when there are so many ads. I often give up near the end because I can’t take another ad.
A ROYAL RIP OFF!
Don’t bother d/l’ing this game if you want to play a fair game without spending $. This game will charge you for hints. You may get a few hints here & there. But after a while, you’ll have to shell out $.
I played a few levels before the pay wall kicked in. I got to Level 12 & that’s when the money drop arrived. I was missing a few items. When I went to get hints, $ was demanded from me. No money, no hints. This is not a fair game, & I’m completely surprised why this game is rated so high.
Thus, I’ve rated this game 2 Stars. **
There are plenty of great Hidden Object games of this type that play fair & square. This game isn’t like those.
If you’re a person who doesn’t mind spending money for playing a game, you’ll enjoy this game. It is a fun game to play. Too bad it’s a money grabber.

Game
Too many AD's
Messes with your mind
This game would be good except for the fact that I’ve realized that the objects are not all present up front. They appear on the map over time which means you have to search and research the same areas repeatedly waiting for objects to appear which is a colossal waste of time and really annoying. I don’t want to have to retrod the same ground waiting to see if something new appears. Instead of forcing players to find 200 items per map, try reducing the number of items and putting it all out there upfront!
Too many ads
Fun but way too many ads. So many ads that it makes it hard to actually play.
To many ads
Good game but way to many ads
Don’t bother
This developer is obviously only after $$$. Ads every 2-3 minutes with no way out except to get out of the game is NOT my idea of a successful game. I would not recommend- also, the developers responses to previous reviews should tell you they don’t care.
I asked for no ads
This games has lots of ads the further you go in the game
Repetitive
This game is so boring and repetitive. I somehow played 20 levels hoping the background would finally change but no. You’re looking for the same objects, the background doesn’t change and the most annoying thing is that objects keep reappearing in areas you already cleared so you have to go back and forth multiple times.
Aesthetics are more important than one might think.
I’ve downloaded it twice and deleted it twice apparently I forgot how aesthetically unpleasing the graphics are. The ad for it is deceiving much better graphics than the actual game itself.
Plan to buy boosters or you’re stuck
I make it a point never to pay for extra boosters in a game. It seems this one is designed to force you to do that by not showing all the items to locate. I’ve taken screen shots of the “board” when I had five pieces or less to find, and then a few days later they show up. This game seems rigged against the player unless you buy extras to help you solve it. I was enjoying it so much but I’m going to find something else and remove this game.
Love it, but slow to update
I enjoy this game, but it takes too long for new levels to be updated.
Paid version not great
The paid version has constant pop ups, some you can get rid of, prompting you to watch an ad for free items. They are all over my screen when I’m trying to play.
Wow, ads telling you to expect more ads. Ridiculous
Love the game but more ads then game time. Absolutely ridiculous. I understand that’s how they keep it free but this is obsessive. You even have ads telling you that you will have ads (no lie). Fun & challenging otherwise.
they trick you!!
i noticed that when i would go back to a certain spot way after already looked there and more items are there?? i literally screenshotted the area after finding all of the things and then went back later and all new items were there! so basically impossible to finish first time around!
not one star cuz it is pretty fun besides the fact that this makes it frustrating lol
