Adds
Your adds are extremely long and it’s making my phone hot. I love this game but sadly I have to delete it
Overheating and Ads
Game causes phone to get hot. Also game forces advertisement if you change screens to do anything else like text or answer call. Very annoying!
Use to be a fun game
Can’t even play the game because all the ads are in the way, come on
LIED ABOUT GAME SHOWN
The game advertised was NOT the game this word craze….deleted!
Ugh
Way too many ads. Literally after every round and you can’t get out of them without relaunching the game. Had to delete.

Too many ads!
North worth download

Too. Many. Ads.
So you advance to the next level and rewarded with…an ad? Ridiculous and annoying. I’ve deleted the app and found something better to play.
Game Suggestions
I don’t really like this game. I don’t know much at all.
Review
To many long ads
Too many ads
There is literally an ad after every level. Not worth the lack of playing time! Deleting.
Not what I expected
I thought there was supposed to be rock and roll music trivia? Level 6 and no music in sight (or sound)
Stupid
Childish
Fishy
Any time I play the game a browser for antivirus software pops up on my phone. Seems a little suspicious. This is the only game on my phone that does it.
Why do you think I will continue playing?
You have the Gaul to play a 2 minute ad with the HATED royal match ad. Why should I play? This is the last you’ll hear from me!!!!
Too many Ads
Too many ads, don’t bother
Not fun with too many ads
I have played this game for months and finally deleted it because of the ads! Too many and a waste of time
Wayyy too many ads
You’ll spend more time waiting on pointless ads, than actually playing the games. Not worth it!
Ads
Ads are keeping from playing games recently.
Horrible
You can’t read a text without having to watch adds. If you accidentally hit something you’re not supposed to then you’re watching an add. It’s a long pause before you can play any of the games. Ads ads ads. Way too many. When I first started playing it wasn’t horrible but it’s gotten so bad and the ads are sooo long now
Word craze
Don’t waste your time unless you like constant ads
Ads ads ads
They take “pay to get rid of ads” to a whole new level. You can sit there and look at the puzzle and an ad pops up. Then, once you close out of that ad (which opens in a browser), you return to ANOTHER ad. Not worth the irritation for a subpar app. Better word games out there
Ads, Ads, more Ads
Ok game but all it is is a bunch of ads
ADS ADS ADS and More ADS
This game would be good but in order to move forward after one entry players have to open an ad to have selections added to the board. This bogs down the game and it become boring.
Too many ads
Way too many adds. The game is good and fun but the amount of ads take away from the game
Ad bar placed over Action button
I think would have been fun but the advertisement was on top of the action button for the game .
Ad is not actual game
I’m tired of these games not having what is advertised in the actual game! I download the game based on what the ad shows and don’t get that content. 0 stars if I could
Ugh! Soooo many ads
Game is fun, but long ads in between short games. Very frustrating.
Blocking
I could not experience the game, the adds at the bottom of the screen, was blocking.
Horrible company
Your ads for your game re incredibly offensive! Fake dr telling ppl this game “ may help Alzheimer’s “?! My mother recently died of that horrible disease. Too bad she didn’t see you fake doctor giving her advice to play your asinine game. There is no end to misery I hope you endure.
Ruined by abundance of ads
I understand ads but this is overkill and has ruined the fun of the game. I guess greed kills all good things. It ridiculous you get 3 ads just to start a new game, you can’t get out of the ads even when you click the button to. Also if you get a call or a text then come back to game you gotta watch more Ads. When you spend
more time watching ads than playing the actual game it’s time to find another game.

Too many spammers
While I was playing for the Star challenges every weekend, there are like seven players that look like spammers beating me for no reason. What’s worse, they never played any level so they might be cheating. Can you do something about this?
Done
I love this game very much. But I’m done. I can’t take all the ads anymore. Most of the time there 3 ads back to back. It’s so frustrating. To bad you ruined a fantastic game.
Boring
Used to be creative with many visual question clues. Now overloaded, with variety of activities that are just an excuse for watching more ads.
Deleted after first use
First thing that happened the first time I opened the app was three notices popped up immediately for in-game purchases. I hadn’t even played the first level yet! I’m not spending money on a game if I haven’t even played it! Ridiculous! Deleted!
Ad was acurate
You do get $100 right away! What they don’t tell you is that you need $1000 to cash out.
Another scam
Another scam
Can I give it a zero?
I’ve played for a long time and really enjoy this game, however I’ll quit now.
A game they forced me to watch an ad for: “The Family Match Puzzle Game” depicts a woman with a small child in the ad. A man she’s apparently involved with comes up and kicks her. WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING the mind of our youth with this trash? It has zero to do with the game, but you put this demoralizing kind of add on another game? Shame! This is an ad from a misogynistic entity and I won’t support a game that has anything to do with it. Nobody should!

Too many ads
At first the game was fun there would be ads every once in awhile but every level you pass you have to watch an ad that is at least 30 seconds long which is extremely annoying and ruins the apps overall experience. I’m going to look for a better word game app because I’m definitely deleting this one.
Apps freeze up the game
So ridiculous trying to play when adds freeze up the game and you have to reboot to reset. Until they fix this problem, I will continue to rate this as a 1 star.
Game is for children
1 star for adults
Boring
Nothing like the ads. If your ads are for a game nothing like this, then developers know the game is no good
Word craze
When I try to open the game it tells me to do an update and when I click on it and go to App Store there is no update as I had done it a couple of day previous, but the game will still not let me play and is very annoying as I have been playing this game for a while and had been enjoying it. Hopefully your coders can fix this issue please.
I sent you this several days ago and as you can’t be bothered to fix this issue I’m just going to delete your game

Word Craze
Way to many ads, I spent more time watching ads than playing the game. Would not recommend.
Too many ads
I understand that the way you make money is through ads but to have one after EVERY game is ridiculous! I play many games and this one is the worst. Love the game, but deleting because of ads
For Kids
Waaaaay to easy, I flew through so many levels, to find out I was wasting my time. So I had my 5th grade kid do it, he flew through it like I did but was stumped on a number of questions.
Dumb
Game is stupid if you rate it above 2 stars your dumb and no one should waste their time playing this stupid game.
Too many ads
I like the game. But there are too many video ads. Every time you finish a puzzle or click somewhere in the app, you are forced to watch an ad. And the worth thing is that you can’t mute any of the videos. Will be deleting the app
Ridiculous ads
Not worth it. Every puzzle there are ads. Almost every one is for Royal Match, which I have had for a long time, but the ads are nothing like the game. Very misleading. Also it takes at least FIVE clicks to get rid of it. Too annoying. I’ll find another word game.
Fun game. Great concept. Horrible for phone
As seen from other ads on similar brain games, I thought I would give this game a go. I played it for about 2 weeks now and I did notice an abundance of ads that are more than usual for free games. I do not like the concept of an ad popping up every time I go to reply to a text.
It is also worth noting that this game will drain your battery dry and make your phone overheat. I have the latest iOS downloaded and my phone battery goes down about 10% after playing it for only 20 mins.

False advertising
This game was a complete lie. On their commercial it claimed to be a country music crossword puzzle but there is absolutely nothing to do with music. It also took 30 levels just to get to themed puzzles, which still was no music. Don’t false advertise!
