What ruins the fun is The constant interruption from ads. The ads are nonstop, repetitive and programmed to make it difficult to return to the game even when the ad is finished. I would play it longer if it weren’t for the frustration. The constant interruptions make it impossible to gain momentum. Sadly, I am searching for a replacement. ### 3/5 — Too many advertisements *2026-08-13, version 63.35.1* I love 4 Pics 1 word. I started playing the game since 2014 my phone was IPhone 5S. It was good I like it. But then when I downloaded it 3 months ago on my other phone. So many advertisements that’s so annoying. So I just play the everyday game, and that’s it. ### 3/5 — Ms C *2026-08-12, version 63.35.1* I was disappointed that the IQ level drops if you don’t play for a couple of days - and sometimes it is difficult to get past the ad! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2026-07-26, version 63.33.0* I love it, let me list some examples, Amazing, magnificent, beautiful, tremendous 😊 ### 3/5 — Adssss+++ *2026-07-26, version 63.33.0* Good game, but too many ads. ### 2/5 — Losing Points *2026-07-24, version 63.33.0* I have noticed over the years that there have been more ads, more than two actions to close them, and after choosing “not interested,” the ads seem to double in rotation. Currently, the State Farm advertisement is stuck, and I have not received any of the points I earned. I am finding this game to be too long to complete, and it no longer has the appeal it once did. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-22, version 63.33.0* Good game no ads like it been playing it for years ### 2/5 — Too many annoying ads *2026-07-21, version 63.33.0* plays an ad per game unless you spend, gets irritating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Changes *2026-08-21, version 63.36.1* Love this game. Play it often. However, the ads are bad enough, but now , one puzzle and you have to tap status, characters, scoreboards? Why? Please take all that away. Looking for a similar game without all the nonsense. ### 1/5 — Concerned *2026-08-21, version 63.36.1* Love the game…… BUT cannot get the 30 coins any more. What happened?? ### 1/5 — Aggressive advertising app *2026-08-20, version 63.36.1* The amount of advertisements are getting more and more overwhelming. Just by opening the app you get an ad already. Then it is more complicated to close an ad than to solve a word. Advertisement goes over a minute. Requires several steps to close. And you can solve a word under 10 seconds You are not player. You are a consumer of advertisement. ### 1/5 — Memory *2026-08-18, version 63.35.1* This game was a childhood memory that was a huge addiction back in high school now it’s sad to see it flooded with ads. ### 1/5 — Ad(poor) *2026-08-08, version 63.35.1* To much of ad and no where to cancel the advert till you download or install on your mobile.ask me how many games do you want me to download in just a couple of 5mins ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-08-05, version 63.35.1* NEVER play this game unless you want a billion pop ups on your screen literally every second. The game is genuinely unplayable no matter what i click there’s a pop up. I would literally rather just have ads on my screen than the thousands of pop ups on this game. I have no idea what this game thinks will happen when they harass you with pop ups. Like no i do not care if i got 250 coins or some random thing I just wanna play the game. ### 1/5 — AD TERRORISM *2026-08-05, version 63.35.1* Adding ads will infact not entice me to make a purchase to “remove” ads. Your app has already annoyed me YIKES! Me and my family used to like this game. DELETED! Can someone vibe code another one that appeals to humanity. TLDR: When you blink here comes an ad!!! ### 1/5 — absolutely dreadful to play now *2026-08-04, version 63.35.1* downloaded it after having the app years ago, i couldn't actually play the game for 5 minutes because of the insane amount of pop ups. i don't care about a streak. i don't care about multiplayer. i don't care about getting points. i just wanna play the game !!! why do app developers destroy classic games like this ### 1/5 — annoying *2026-07-30, version 63.33.0* way too many ads it’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — Liars *2026-07-20, version 63.33.0* Listed as no ads, ad popped up in the first few levels. SICK OF ADS!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review I enjoy 4 pics and word4 *2026-08-27, version 63.36.1* Four pics ### 5/5 — Download it *2026-08-23, version 63.36.1* Recommend ### 5/5 — Challenging? Some days…you bet! *2026-08-22, version 63.36.1* Part of my morning routine. Wakes up the brain….and usually a conversation! ### 5/5 — Awesome Challenges *2026-08-20, version 63.36.1* I have been playing since 2013. I have always enjoyed language. words, grammar and literary writings. Trying to stay sharp with some daily mental challenges. Just turned 80 and still have an awesome career - 10-12 hours a day with computer systems. Perfect fit for me, this game is just challenging enough but still relaxing. Granny Patti ### 5/5 — Brain *2026-08-19, version 63.36.1* Great brain workout some are easy some you really have. Think. ### 5/5 — Nana *2026-08-11, version 63.35.1* My best and favorite game ### 5/5 — Great Game for Everyone *2026-08-04, version 63.35.1* This is very addictive game though. I should have given it 5 stars but due to the disappearance of my gem I had to award it a 4 star rating. ### 5/5 — Game review *2026-08-02, version 63.35.1* I i am upset because I don’t like word wheel please get rid of it,please get rid of word wheel ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-30, version 63.33.0* Good for mental agility ### 5/5 — We hate the adverts *2026-07-29, version 63.33.0* I hate the adverts I hate you🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
