Not worth even playing for free!!
Way too many ads and it makes my phone get very hot after playing a while. DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!
WAY TOO MANY ADS
There are MANY free games that don’t have this many ads. And if you choose the wrong option to go back to the game,
It will take you to another LONG ad. PlaySimple games Suck!!!

not happy
The ads and in-app purchases are too often!! They even interrupt the game in the middle of the game. What bothers me the most is you cant listen to music while playing the game b/c the ads turn your music off. This happens even if you click no sound or music in settings, and it also happens even if you try to turn off the ad speaker while the ad is playing.
Deleting app now!

Spam ads to steal identity
Some of the ads are ok. Annoying, but ok. Recently several of the ads are AI generated with celebrities promoting “health and weight loss products” that will cost you money and/or steal your identity.
Way way too many commercials.
Deleting what looks like a fun game because the commercials are way too frequent. Deleting and I’m sad. The link to play without commercials doesn’t work.
What are the little characters in the game
Rules
Not truthful
Game advertised one way but when download, it’s just like any other word game. Will delete.
Pop up add
Game was good until they introduced pop up ads during game play. I will quit if the pop ups don’t stop right away.
Awful!
Videos pop up all the time while trying to play the game
Interruptions
I had been playing this for quite a while. Got pretty far. Suddenly I’m being interrupted during a game with advertising. I understand advertising. But not when it’s in the middle of me spelling a word. I deleted my game when it started doing that
Freezes Apple Tablet
I like this game but I’m tired of it freezing my tablet and I have to restart. Also ads that keep sending you to the store. It’s bad enough I have to watch long ads without having to click on 4 or 5 X’s before getting back to the game. Also I can’t delete it off my tablet.
World tour word puzzle
I enjoy the challenge of this game
oyun
reklamlarda oyun baska indirdiginde oyun baska reklamda soru soruyordu o yuzden siliyorum puanda 0 olmadigi icin 1 vermek zorunda kaldim
Stupidity
Game is OK but all the stupid rewards etc. Are idiotic and a waste of time
Good game but misleading
At first I gave 5 stars. It’s like a lot of other word games… challenging and fun. However, it said “no annoying ads”. But this is not true. 5 minutes after installing the App, I was offered “no ads” for $5.99. Immediately, the ads popped up.
How is this as free? I’m deleting the app.

Review
Annoying,can’t play due to ads pop up and replace the game uninvited
Enjoy app except for ads that cannot be closed
Like the and enjoy your app but please fix the ads that will not close. Thank you.
You ruined the game
Pop up ads ruin the game. I was a daily user until the pop ups started.
Bait and switch
Not the game advertised
Went Defunct
Game was great. Too great. Then all of a sudden the ads were interrupting the game constantly
It would not stop. Same phone etc. I have to delete it.

Add
All of a sudden I am being bombarded by ads. So many I am unable to finish a four letter word.
Where is the game?!
One half star is the lowest possible but that really isn’t fair since I have not one time been able to attempt to play the game!! I don’t know who decides how many ads to put where but when there are so many ads before play begins, well I quit. If there are that many ads before play starts then I know the entire game will be full of ads and I won’t have the patience to continue. Those people who say how fun playing the game is, I want your version cause the only gameplay I saw was in the preview!!
Horrible
It isn’t as it is in post it said it was! Hate when ya do that.
Ads, Ads, and More Ads
Why do you keep repeating the same ads incessantly? This is especially irritating for the gelatin weight-loss ads, which have been proven to be a total scam. They keep repeating, with different people saying the same words. Please stop insulting our intelligence. You should be ashamed of practicing such deceitful tactics.
Too many ads
Too many ads. You claim no ads in your game. Rubbish
Word Tour - word puzzle
Just sit back, and enjoy this challenging ‘TOUR’!!
Ad central
Way too many ads. The ads last longer and are very hard to get out of. Not worth the trouble with the ads! I’m deleting game right now. Good riddance!
Not worth time
I guess it’d be ok if if weren’t for all the annoying ads
Ads make playing the game hard
While the game is relatively challenging, the ads at the completion of each section. Are so frustrating that I find it necessary to move to another game or activity immediately.
Word tour review
Started off great and now ads pop up constantly making it virtually impossible to play at all. Going to delete the game so don’t bother!
