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

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!
Ads ads on ads
Can’t scape the adds
love/hate
love the idea of the game. hate that the game keeps resetting itself every 15 seconds or so!
Way too many ads
Game is fun but there are so many ads that it makes it hard to enjoy. Will be deleting the app.
The ads are ridiculous
You can’t even play 5 min without an ad popping up. It’ll even ask you if you want to pay for an ad blocker than immediately hit you with an ad if you say no. Sometimes I have to go through 3 ads just to start then you’ll have 5-6 more while playing the game. This game could be great but you guys make it unplayable
Screen is filled with junk
Game is good by gameplay screen is filled with rewards, lottery and 100 other things that is making it hard to concentrate on finding objects and its very annoying in general to pretty much force users to watch ads just to get rid of those reward objects
Blocked from play by pop up
I originally gave this game five stars, right before they began to display a huge pop up every sixty seconds during gameplay that you had to press that caused a commercial. This disruption was very irritating. In order to stop this strong arm tactic, you MUST pay them $9.99.
Too many adds
After you get past a certain level not stop adds to continue playing through the game not just to get bonuses
Time Consuming
Finding the six required items in a scene requires us to play the scene six times. Okay, no problem. However, when it comes time to earn the benefits of the game, you need to replay the same scene up to 20 more times to earn one star per scene. Then 16 additional times (earning one star for each time you replay the same scene), then 12 additional scene plays, then eight. Of course you can purchase the stars rather than replay the scenes - but putting up the money week after week for a game that you used to love - check out the math. It gets expensive. Don’t pay? Then who has 12 hours a day - every day - to play the same scenes over and over and over week after week.
Not fun
It used to be a fun game but since you all took out the ad videos you can’t do anything to get extra coins or anything else I will be uninstalling
Peckerhead16
They say there are no adds!!! There are a lot of adds which disrupt the game.
Found it
I would not recommend this game! It freezes up all the time and now I can’t even finish a round because it keeps booting me off the game!
Too many ads, and too many “pay us” places in the game
I have played a lot of hidden object games. This one seemed like fun. I like the interactive elements, but it’s just TOO MUCH. You’re inundated by ads every so many minutes in the game. Then anything to be done in the game is a “pay to play.” And while this is common, not one is for another. Each pay is individual of another. Say you want to play a holiday theme level, that is $10 for each one under the “premium” umbrella. They have events that are also holiday based. They cost tickets. You get a VERY minimal base, but you can PURCHASE a “platinum” access pass,” also $10. No adds, $20! I’ve never seen such a high cost for no ads. But here’s this worst part, they have “skipits” tickets starting at $3! They skip you having to watch an ad to get your prize! These sorts of games should not be allowed! And yet, they exist! I rarely rate things on here. So the fact that I DID should speak volumes to the absurdity of this game and their developers. Fun to play, but not that fun, I’m done! Delete!
Ads get crazy after level 2
I loved this game until I got to the Polar world and I started getting ads every 3-5 minutes. I played this a lot before the ads got crazy and am severely disappointed to have another game to delete due to ads. Do better.
Ads
Love the game but the constant ads are annoying
Game keeps crashing
The game
Keeps restarting
Keeps restarting
How much longer until you actually update the next journey level so it opens.
I’ve been playing this game for years. And on the journeys it takes forever for a level to unlock. I’m so sick of it. I’ve been waiting for this next update for months now and nothing has happened. There are also so many ads but I don’t care about that as much as I care about the levels. And when a new level does come out you have to wait hours just to start looking for the stuff that character wants. I’m so sick of it. I just want these journey levels to unlock already instead of taking months to. Because then after you wait for months you wait longer. How much longer until the update. I’m so sick of this
Fun Game
Was having so much fun with this game and appreciated that there weren’t ads as you were playing the level. Suddenly after playing for a few days there’s a pop up ad every 60 seconds that forces you to click on it. Was closing out the app and reopening it to avoid it but I’m at the point where I’m just deleting this app. Very disappointing as I was really enjoying the game until this point.
Ads Galore
Too many ads. Several under one puzzle.
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

Love the game, but it constantly crashes
I love playing this game and it is a real hit and miss. Just like today I’ve not been able to play at all cause every time I open the game it crashes. If they could get the cause of the crashes fixed, I would give this 6+ stars.
Suddenly there are ads!
I played this game for 5 days and was completely addicted. I played for 4 or more hours a night. There were ads once or twice in hours of playing. I went to play today and suddenly there are ads every 3 minutes, I timed them. Way too frustrating, have to delete my favorite game! I’m sure there are other find hidden objects games but I’m still mad!!
Was fun
Started out very fun. Then just too many ads.
Ads spoil the fun.
I played this game for a week, enjoying it very much. Then the ads started. Not after an episode is finished, but right in the middle of play. Goodbye.
SOOOO MANY ADS
There is an ad break every minute or so which is absolutely ridiculous
Sneaky game play
While not a bad search and find game, you can tell they don’t load all of the objects to find at the beginning of a level. They add more as you find stuff, which means if you are having problems finding something it very well could be because the haven’t dropped it in the level yet, making you more like to use hints and help and thus spend money. Play at your own risk.
A very fun game… ruined by ads.
I really loved this game when I first started playing it. It hooked me through multiple “episodes” with great details and interactive logic puzzles. I don’t mind ads for free games - I understand they are a necessary evil. However, the frequency of ads that have started popping up is ridiculous. I can’t have the app open for more than 15 seconds without play being interrupted by a long advertisement, and I refuse to pay $9.99 to remove them. Sadly, I am deleting this app today.
Awful non-stop ads
I can’t believe I can’t get through one single game without that stupid pig that pops up for no reason and there’s no way to exit. So freaking annoying. I’ll probably end up deleting this
