Ads and $ appeals
This is fun but winning often gets you no more or marginally more than you paid to begin a game as a result you could win 7/10 or 8/10 games and still be wiped out. To continue you can wait a day, watch multiple ads or PAY. Reward for winning is too LOW!!

Sick of the Bible being crammed down my throat

Really bad in so many ways
Really bad in so many ways. It’s completely left for dead by the developers. It never really gets updated or refreshed. It’s very unfair, more so than most other online games.
Money-based game
If you lose a game or two in a row, you literally cannot play anymore. How insane is that? Literally have to pay real money to keep playing.
Free-mium game
You only have so much money and you absolutely HAVE to win to get more money. You run out in about a day or so, then you have to spend money on the game.
Not fun at all
So money focused, I hopped on to study, learn, and have fun. But instead I had to pay just to play.
Terrible and not realistic at all.
A real clunker.
Predatory, ad-heavy
What a trashy program. Such a big IP begging you for money constant is disgraceful.
Winnings
It makes no sense on how I play a game with the entry fee and I win the game and I don’t even get 20% of my fee back. How does that make any sense? I just won give me the total buy it for all players, or at least WHAT I PUT IN!!
I couldn’t even start
The game send too many notifications
Be better if it was fair
In what other game can you answer every question correct & still lose by over 10,000 points?
No audio
The audio craps out after every annoying ad.
Cheating
When I use gold bars to select subjects, when I get to final jeopardy they switch categories on me. This is why U stopped buying gold bars.
Such an Ad Trap
This game hooks you initially with a fun, quick round of trivia, and then, gradually, it adds in everything you don’t want in a game. Unnecessary pop-up ads, confusing “cash” and scoring, side quests, game ads you can’t escape. They suck all the fun out. Don’t bother playing unless you love relentless commercial shilling.
Shame
Cheats to get you to spend money how is I lose every time even when I get every question right seems
So like the other “players” always just barely beat me at the very last minute eff this game

Can’t even finish a game because of ads
The thing takes you out in the middle of a game and throws up an ad to download another game then won’t let you get out, so you lose the game you’re in.
Their system loses data, malfunctions
I lost literal years of progress and can’t use it anymore because there’s a bug they can’t fix. They said it “only affects a small number of users” as if that somehow makes it not a bug.
Sound?!
Cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn sound effects, music, etc off. Deleting!
Forever Ads
Used to be fun but now the ads just take forever. And forget selecting “watch ad” for a power up spin. Can take nearly two minutes. Just a waste of time.
Total cash grab
Is unplayable. Game is made to make you lose so you’ll have to give them money to even play. Is a complete scam of a game.
Questions
They need better questions for sure. Mostly Shakespeare, bible history, and history from Europe in 1600 or before.
Stop CHEATING the players!!!!
I love playing Jeopardy but I have one HUGE complaint! I can win several games but the SAME Mementos are checked over and over again until finally a new one is recognized!!!! That is sooo unfair to the players!!!!! It takes forever to highlight the stars and move on to the next level!!!!
Why bother
Spend more time watching ads than you do being able to play the game. But I guess that’s just how “games” and apps are these days.
Sheila
Sometimes it doesn’t give the promised bonus it offers. Many commercials are much too long.
scammy ads & screen freezes
The ads they allow through here are absolutely insane. Scammy, disinformation. You would think a knowledge-based game might have some standards and ethics for ad sells, but that’s nonexistent. Screen freezes also happen way more often than they should, and aren’t necessarily solved by restarting the app. Often have to fully turn phone off and on again to reset.
The Adds...
I have recently re-downloaded this game years after originally trying it. It had been so long I had forgotten why I stopped but it only took me 3 games and six adds to remember. The game itself is great but still not worth the frustration.
Too many commercials
Why do all these games force you to watch ads? They are long commercials and just ruined the game for me.
Sound glitch ruins the game
We have been playing this game for years and love it…. However, the sound “glitch” where all music/sounds stop mid-game (and do not turn back on unless you close out the app) has never been addressed or fixed. Please correct this!
What’s Too Many Commercials?
Must watch numerous commercials to be able to play a single brief game.
Money grab
Repeated questions so it’s less about trivia and more about memory. And for a company that has made a fortune off of jeopardy it seems super shady to be a money grab game.
Jeopardy
Fun game, only thing to be aware of is that you have to pay for gold which give other people a great advantage
Commercials
In between every round and before you can get your final score you have to endure looooooong advertisements for Apps. Makes you not even wanting to play sometimes.
Great game but unfair
At least three times now I didn’t get the rewards I was supposed to. I answered 5 questions in a row and was supposed to get 5 gems - got zero. I won games but no cash or reward. This really demotivates me to play, even though I love this game. It’s too bad. I wanted to give it a five star rating. I even sent an email regarding one issue and never heard back.
Could be better
I think the game could be better as far as the challenges and also I think there should be other Jeopardy games and also they should put KenJennings at the beginning of the game
