Leave a Review Red Herring
A developer true to their word
I play this game daily and after one of the most recent updates the format for daily free puzzles was changed. I took issue with that change and let the developer know that I was not happy and changed my review of the app to one star and heaped scathing ridicule on them. They assured me that the format would return to its original form and it has. Therefore I hereby declare “ I LOVE THIS GAME “ and will continue to play it daily. Thanks guys!!Show lessYanxfan49
Developer Response
So glad you continue to enjoy the game! Thanks for updating your review!A great daily brain teaser
I love Red Herring. Useful for passing the time when I have 10 minutes or 60 minutes to spare.
Sometimes I’ll get stuck on a particular puzzle and come back to it months later with a fresh perspective and solve it instantly.
I do wish there was a night mode/dark mode. I’d like to be able to play in the evening without looking at a bright light.Show lessPurpleFandom
Review of game
I find it not to be stressful like games where you have to be quick or you get blown-up or something is going to eat you. I feel that it is good for my mind. It also makes me think outside the box. If I get all the categories correct I even get a sense of accomplishment. “I got it”. Win, win, win game!Show lessArizona T- bone
Want to rate 5 ⭐️
I loved playing this game for the first 30 or so levels, but after I played through the first pack I found that I have to pay for the rest of the packs. There is a free daily puzzle, but one game a day to me is hardly worth opening the app for. This game is fun and challenging and I recommend it to anyone that likes word puzzles and doesn't mind paying for more puzzles. For me, though, this was merely a teaser for a game you actually have to purchase, so three stars because after an hour of play the game is virtually obsolete for me. This truly is a very fine game. I wish I had more disposable cash for more packs.Show lessTortitude
Latest update seems to have broken..er well okay, it's fixed.
Latest version, everything seems larger and incorrectly framed for mobile. Uninstall reinstall doesn't fix.
Update: newest update fixed display issues. Pity that reinstall nuked all my previous data. Oh well. Thanks for fixing!Dread Lord Nate
Formatting issues with new update
Update: app is working again. Thanks for getting this fixed quickly!
After updating the app today, there are issues with the formatting - some buttons are too large and it is hard to read some of the text. Please fix as this app worked great prior to the update.zdegroote
Rational Smart Challenging Game: Red Herring
Finding the category that is shared by four words may not prove as simple as it seems. If you like word puzzles, you’ll enjoy this one. And you don’t have to stay frustrated for long. There are three levels of play and hints to help when you get stuck. Great brain twisters to keep your wits about you.Show lessJudy in HMB
Can’t play free version because the ads don’t go away
Recently the ads in the. Free version are almost impossible to stop. If I hit the X in the corner it takes me to the App Store so I can install some antimated game I don’t want. I can go back to the prior screen but cannot get into the daily game. It’s becoming more trouble than it is worth.
If you are going to offer a daily free game, it is nicer to be able to download it than waste time figuring out how to escape the other game ads... or is escaping the ads the real game? If so, no thanksShow lessnerdy wordly
Just ok
I got this because I find these types of games really enjoyable! However, I was really dissatisfied after realizing that I only get ONE pack of puzzles for free, and the other 37 packs cost 1.99, which yeah is not that much but after downloading a FREE app I didn’t expect to only be given ONE free pack and pay for the rest.. They have bonus packs for free IF you purchase more puzzles first. Really, why market something as free when nothing in-app is free? Just make people buy the game to begin with. Although, I find this aspect of the app very disappointing, it is the best and most easy to use categorical game I have come across. Would love to give five stars, but really just kind of disappointed by the developers. Kind of a dick move.Show lesskellynnmakenzie
Ads have become excessive...
I have enjoyed this ap for years. For me, this WAS a 5 star ap. Then updates brought ads. Ok, I understand a need for a revenue stream.
Initially, one could dismiss ads that were not of interest. I was okay with that approach.
But now, the ap is forcing their ads to play to the end, a full 30 seconds, and can not be dismissed. That is longer than it takes me to complete some of the daily puzzles.
My response is to delete the ad. The goal of increasing ad views just went down by one viewer.
If you are ad tolerant, enjoy this ap. Otherwise, look elsewhere.Show lessNeptue
