The algorithm stays cheating
Just a ploy to watch more ads to help u win because the game plays dirty. It’s not even a logical puzzle, you’re just playing against an ai or wtvr.
Ads
Soo many ads. You win a level and to get your earned points you have to watch an ad that is 120 sec - that’s 2 MINUTES. By then I’ve lost interest in playing and continuing. All that to get the points I earned. DELETE
Intentional glitches?
The ads are to the point of over the top annoying. They pop up in the middle of a level as videos that block the entire screen. You have to minimize the game, then click to reopen in order to get rid of them. The game “glitches” if you get to far along causing player to completely start over. The game can be fun, but seems more designed just as a vehicle for annoying AI ads for stuff no one wants or needs. Deleting app.
Level 4
Hate this level
Hate it
Deleted it, this game sucks!!
Too many ads
Crazy amount of ads. Not worth it.
Add a pause feature
I love this game. My brain loves this game. But I’m not spending another penny on it until you add a pause or auto resume. Every time I spend real money and then use the power up, if I don’t have the time right then and there to finish the level it makes me start from the beginning of the level and does not restore the power up I used. That’s literally stealing my money. If I start a level, the game needs to be able to pick up right where I left off. I’m playing your game and spending my money on my time, not yours. The level is over when I beat it or when I run out of space, coins, or power ups. You should not be able to take my credit and restart the level because life happened and I had to put the dang thing down for 5 minutes. Add a pause or auto resume, not a penny more from me until then.
I did like it
I downloaded this like 12/2025 and now it’s 6/2026 and I was in the middle of a round and it cut to commercial and now I’m all of the sudden starting completely over?? I lost all the tools I had stored up and my 85,000 coins. Super annoying
Ads make you start levels over
Deleted this app. Win a hard level, get an ad, if you wait too long, app makes you play the level all over again. I don’t need that level of aggravation from a game.
Incredible Waste of Time
Do not get this app. It sets you up for failure, then you have no other option but to watch super long ads for other subpar games. Yarn Fever has constant ads that span the maximum length of time, with many ending in a dead end screen that doesn’t allow you to return to your active game, so you have no choice but to restart from the beginning. Many of the ads seem shady and from a low quality source. The game’s interface uses deceptive images to get you to complete in-app purchases. Wild.
Started over
I had passed many levels and it started me over at level 1. Lost all of my extras I won on the upper levels
Lost all levels
Lost all my levels
DONT BOTHER
Nothing but AD SPAM. Total Ad abuse. Waste of brain space.
Too many ads!
I really wanted to enjoy this game. I find it relaxing and love the graphics. However, the ads are incredibly long and hard to close. It’s insanely disruptive. Just not worth it!
Frustrated
Game crashed and I lost all progress that I had for a year
Not a good game
The game make it too hard to make you spend money on it, i delete it
Too many ads
Annoying the length of ads
Fun if there were so many ads
This has a great design and challenging levels. But only the very basic options are free. To do anything else costs money. Only 2 spools -per game- are free. Once you sit through annoyingly long ads, you can get another spool but that disappears once you finish the game. There are so many ads and unnecessary ad-ons that I just deleted the app.
Not worth it. Ad fest
Game starts off ok but quickly turns into bs with the most illogical puzzling to ensure you have to either spend money or watch their 1M ads to progress. Then of course watch more ads if you pass the level. Same as any other soulless game out there. Worth it for about an hour then delete
Updated and lost everything
I have been playing this game for a while. It updated and took me right back to the beginning and I lost all the time and money I had accumulated.
Disappointed
I was almost to level 1976 and it blinked and brought me back to the beginning.
All my progress lost
I was in the middle of playing … I play it at least once a day and probably for over a year. I was on a level up in the thousands and had 27k coins and in the middle of an ad the app closed and when I reopened I was at level one as if I had just downloaded the game and never played it before. All of my progress is gone. I restarted my phone and connected the game to my Facebook thinking maybe it was just a glitch but I’ve tried everything and nothing is recognizing where I was in the game.
Full of ads
This game said it didn’t have any ads. It didn’t for about the first 5 or so levels and then there’s an ad that takes your entire screen after every single level. Uninstalling.
Deleting
I’ve enjoyed this game but I’ve only had it a short time and I’ve already reached a stage where I can’t move forward unless I purchase coins. I don’t mind watching ads but I’m not paying to play a silly game.
Such a scam
It’s such a horrible game, they just try to find ways to make you spend money
Unplayable without paying
You have to buy baskets in each round and it’s not super fun to play without full baskets
Settings
Can’t turn off the vibration or the sound
Dont download
after lever 4 you cant play without watching a dozen adds per round
Not worth the download
Doesn’t really give you a chance to level up before it starts asking you for money to advance.
Ads :(
Enjoyed the game, way too many ads so deleted it!
Scam
$12 for NO ADS and yet you still have to watch ads for extra rewards and powerups??? And good luck getting very far without paying money. Can’t believe I gave them my money in good faith. What an absolute waste.
2 minute commercials 😓
I don’t mind optional commercials but MINUTES LONG is egregious
Love but….
The game is fun, and yes, strangely satisfying… BUT, the ads are incessant and annoying. The Kalshi ad with the Knicks fans was offensive and I decided to uninstall the game and find something else. If you’re a dude and you want to see constant Shapermint ads with young women dancing around showing off their bras after every game then maybe this is for you, but I’m over it.
Money grab
They make certain rounds literally impossible to win. You spend coins and watch ads and still can’t win. Then ads crash and you lose all progress.
Too many ads
You can barely play the game there are so many ads.
Worst game
It only gives u a few seconds to get yarm then its adds on adds of adds
Don’t waste your time
This app’s adds are insanely annoying. I’m not sure how this app got such great reviews with all the long mandatory add watches necessary to complete one game. If you win, you have to watch another long add to get your coins for completing the level. Each level will require you to watch several very long and non entertaining ads or spend real money. I only had this app for a couple of days and deleted because of the ads. It’s a waste of time.
Nothing but Ad’s
Good game but just constant Ads and the Ad’s are just long and you have to wait through 5 pages. Big waste of time
Ads are wayyy to long
I understand the need for ads. But I’ve never seen such long ads in a game. Then each ad requires multiple clicks before finally leaving the ad. Greed is undermining this game’s potential. Had to uninstall it. It was too frustrating.
Ads Ads and more Ads
If you like to watch ads this is your game! You spend more time watching ads than playing the game.
Too many annoying ads
Spent more time watching ads that last 1-2 min eating away at any rewards I’ve earned that are time based. I don’t mind the ads if they weren’t so long or so often. Deleted the game as it ruined the fun
Ads too long
it’s unbelievable that you make someone sit through two or three minutes I was stupid ad for a stupid game just to get a second chance. One minute would be sufficient.
I enjoy playing game but those ads are ridiculous.

This game
They make the game too hard to where you have no choice but to spend money to get to the next level. If they didn’t make it so impossible it would be a lot more fun! I want to play and play all night and you can’t do that with this game you can do maybe 3 levels and then they make it impossible even with the boosters after watching adds. Even with every booster possible it’s very hard I believe they just went people’s money instead of giving us an entertaining game. I’ve never even left a review in the App Store, but I’m so disappointed in this game. I just can’t help it.
Not worth it, way better games out there
I don’t think this is worth going out of your way for. It’s ok, I played a few levels, it just seems like another one of those strategy slop games that gives you a bunch of ads, nothing special.
It’s Ok
I didn’t mind the ads between levels but not a fan of them interrupting game play. I went to purchase no ads but $11.99 I don’t so. So I will uninstall the game no longer be playing
Fun, but…
I enjoy the game, however it freezes up a lot and randomly shuts down and I have to start all over again. Uninstalling.
Needs Some Upgrades
This is a good game to use as a distraction. The problem is that it doesn’t save your progress even if you select it in the settings, so when you go back to finish the level you have to start over. If you finish a level and don’t open the next one it sometimes makes you repeat the last level again. This is frustrating.
Can’t play unless you pay
I tried this games 3x. Each time I deleted it after trying be beat level 10. I tried for 2 days each time. Unless you watch long ads or post you can not pass it. Same thing happened to a friend.
Fun but they jip you
Once you use your last “free space”, even if you end up with a move you can make, they still end the game and either make you pay for coins to keep going or lose a “life”. Delete!
Too costly
To gain extras or continue game takes too many coins. It takes the fun away when you have to go through all of your coins to finish a round…unless you want to pay money. You basically watch a TON of ads and still lose all of your coins.
