ADDS
The amount of adds is outrageous! Don’t waste your time!
Ads, what else
The AD for this said ‘NO ADS’ and I fell for it but there are definitely ads and they start coming after just the first level. My fault for thinking that NO ADS meant NO ADS
False Advertisement
This game was advertised in another similar game. The ad said “Free and No Ads” so I downloaded it. It was free however after Round 2 an Ad Pops up. I just deleted this app due to the false advertisement and here is my review!
Lies-it has ads right away
I played barely two games before the first ad showed up. I only downloaded bc it said ad free.
Gets stuck and resets to level 1
This game eventually gets stuck/frozen screen, requiring a reset… then it’s started all over again 😞
False/Forced Ads
Some levels are impossible without watching ads. The ad that got me to download says that there were no ads, and there’s quite a few.
“No ads”, yeah ok.
I downloaded this because I saw an ad saying there were “no annoying pop up ads”, assuming that I would get the choice of when to view an ad to unlock something. One level in, I’m cut off with an ad. No thanks.
Advertised as no ads
Guess what? I got ads! I don’t support liars. Don’t bother with this games.
Ad galore
Can’t even get through one round without 2-3 ads.
Word game lover
I originally loved this game ….. but flipping a card counts as a move! What a joke! I’M OUT
Ads
The ad I saw for this game said no ads in gameplay, but I got an ad after my second level.
They lie when they say no ads. It’s Unplayable
They specifically say no ads but you can’t make more than a handful of moves before you get with one.
Beware
I paid the money to play without ads! In the regular game I have non, so far, but in the bonus games, an ad appears after every board! So if you want to play the fun games for prizes & bonuses you have to watch ads! Stupid!
There are ads!
For a big price even. They could at least say, No ads For a price at least! Plus they count moves for everything making you need money to extend the game. Its fun but no thank you.
No Ads? What a joke!
Ads for game lied about no ads. Then in another person’s review, they mentioned that and developers had the nerve to say “free games rely on ads - you can purchase no ads play”. Then why lie and deceive users with false advertisements. So unethical. Wish we consumers had repercussions with these lying advertisements!
Too hard to win
This game is almost impossible to win. I have been playing it daily for 2 weeks and have only won twice. Ads pop up in the middle of the game which is completely annoying!
TOO MANY ADS AND I PAID FOR NO ADS
I paid to not have ads, after playing and having constant ads. Not even just between games but during the game it says take a quick break to have another ad. So I pay to not have ads and still constant ads AND they ask me if I want no ads. Money came out of my account and I have a receipt from Apple.

Downloaded via an ad that touted “no annoying ads”. Played one game and an ad popped up . Newsflash, your ads are annoying
False advertising
I downloaded this app because I saw an ad about this game claiming to be ad free without having to purchase anything. After only 3 games I was getting ads during and after each game.
Disappointed
The game would be better if it didn’t have all these stupid ads. Who wants to spend money in order to bypass the ads !!! Money scheme
Drama, Drama, Drama
I hate soap operas. The only thing I hate more are ads for soap operas. On this app, the Dramabox and others like it ad plays for 30 minutes (ok, seconds, but it feels like hours). Love to play the game, but I turn it off after waiting forever! For the ad to end. Not going to purchase in app for ad free! So soon to be deleted!
It does have ads
This game was advertised as not having ads and it does.
Violent Ad
Why would you advertise an ad with a man fixing to hit a woman over the head with a frying pan?
Bbbbb
Get rid of RKelly, there are other R&B singers that aren’t child molesters
Annoying ads!
They outright lie in their ads by saying “no annoying ads”. False! Lots of “annoying ads“!!!
Too Many Ads
Ads between levels is one thing and to be expected but, the longer you play the more ads there are. Every time you hit the back button, an ad. At random times a “break” ie: ad pops up. Can’t enjoy a game when you’re constantly waiting for an ad to run.

Liars!!!!!
I downloaded this game because the advertisement said no ads, but there are quite a lot of ads so therefore I am deleting. Honesty goes a long way with me!
Go away
I do not appreciate having my game frozen up by your stupid ad.
No Ads
I enjoy this game but the ad for it said NO ADS guess what they lied they replaced the word AD for QUICK BREAK which in return is a ad !! Why can’t these games be truthful
Ads, ads, and ads
Downloaded because it claimed no ads. Has ads. Lots of ads.
Edit: I get it but there’s a difference between “No ads” and “You can purchase an ad-free bundle”

False Advertising
Downloaded this game after seeing an ad for this game claiming the new update removed ads! Which is fantastic because I love the concept of a word solitaire for a relaxing and mentally stimulating game. However I am deleting it after the completion because guess what! ADS. And it’s followed up by a $14.99 offer to remove them. Fat NOPE from me!
Had to delete
Enjoyed the game but I had to delete because the ads are loud and uncontrollable and I can’t afford to have my phone on silent.
Keeps locking up
I love this game. But it has locked up 2 times in less than 2 months. You have to delete it and
Start all over again!
Start all over again!
False Advertising
The ad said there were NO ANNOYING ADS. There ARE.
Fun game. Waaaaay too many ads.
I would keep this app if it didn’t have multiple ads in the middle of each level. Very Disappointed. It’s gone.
It would be better without the ads…
I downloaded the game because I saw it advertised on another game. The advertisement stated it was “free with no annoying ads!” But I immediately was met with forced ads during and after each level. You can pay for the ads to be removed but that wasn’t how the advertisement read to me. The game is fun though and not glitchy. Operates very smoothly. Just tons of ads. It will pause you in the middle of a game to make you watch an ad.
Not good
At first the game claims that you have to pass level 15 to cash out, but when you finally pass level 15, NOW you have to have $30,000!!! WHAT! There is no way I’m getting $30K from this game! It’s all a scam just to keep you playing! Also, way too many ads!!
Fun but frustrating
Have now downloaded 3 “new” versions, one which promised no ads-what a lie! It just changed ads. Now about 9 games into the latest “new” version, a message comes up that this version is no longer supported. What gives? The game is fun because it challenges you to think of how groups of words are associated, but I’m ready to give up with this developer
Ads are too long
Played a lot of games through the App Store that are unpaid with power up purchases, and this game by far has the longest ads.
It broke?
It was a fun game but stopped working. When I swipe up to restart it just goes right back to being frozen. Hopefully they fix soon.
Worditaire: Word Solitaire
I downloaded this version because it was supposed to be better than my older version. Wrong! This version was sluggish and full of ads. I soon deleted it and went back to the old version.
Terrible ad to play ratio
This is a fun game, but you are subjected to 30 seconds of ads for every 5 moves! Seriously, a little less greedy please, game makers?
Too many ads
Too many ads. Way too many
X
The add for the game says ‘no adds’ which is a lie :(
Ads during game
So many ads during game play.
Bombarded with Ads
Never have I played a game with so many ads. They’re trying hard to get you to pay $10 to remove them so they’re going to send you a mindnumbing amount until you pay or just find another game. It’s a shame because this is a fun game.
Fun game but….
The advertisement I saw said
NO ANNOYING ADS. After first game, what did I get? An ad! Goodbye 😡
NO ANNOYING ADS. After first game, what did I get? An ad! Goodbye 😡
Too many ads
Can’t even get through a game without an ad interrupting.
Update: I get that free games rely on ads. But I downloaded this game because ads for it said it had no ads. So, false advertising. And as long as I don’t spend more time watching ads than I do playing the game, I’m ok with them. But when you have ads before, after, and interrupting game play, you have Too. Many. Ads.
