Fun game, but ads ruin experience
This is one of my favorite mobile games and I can play for hours — when it works right. However, most of the ads make the game glitch out now, and makes tallying the score after a round near-impossible. It didn’t used to be this bad. I only ranked this as high because I love the game, but if I was rating this on how many times it bugs out alone, my score would probably be a 2/5.
I would love for these bugs to be patched, as well as adding an ad-free experience for a low, one-time cost. I have been enjoying this game for years and would like to continue doing so, but these glitches. Wow. Please fix this :(Show lessfitemilk
Ads
Love the game. BUT after an advertisement for armed forces it does not give your score when it returns to game screen😡Slezt
Ads make it freeze up. Glitchy
I love the game but it goes to an ad before showing your score and after ads it often then doesn’t give you the score anyway. It ruins the experience and the glitches get worse as you play. I delete and reload this numerous times every time I play. Can’t figure out why this isn’t updated to work better with the ads they are running or why someone else doesn’t replicate this game with smoother functionality. There is no option to have ad free play which I would purchase.Show lessDT9876543
Frustrating
In the middle of a timed game, unskippable adds pop up, and it doesn’t pause the game, the game is over by the time the add is finished, something need to be done to fix this, the game itself is quite good but this makes it unplayable…Geizer
Lost the Will
This was a fabulous game until recently. The continental adverts for other games that appear at completion are frustrating. They are intrusive lengthy and by the time they have finished my score has disappeared. It’s impossible to override them or at least interrupt the length. Now in recent weeks my screen goes blank after playing games for a period of time. The app is unresponsive so I have to delete it and download again. Not a good experience. I will now delete permanently!Show lessfoo 2
Bug fixes?
Not sure if it was the recent IOS update or the bug fixes on the game; however, the game freezes after a play or two-the screen locks after a game’s completion. A workaround requires that I shut down my device and then turn it back on. The fix may last for a few plays ( or sometimes just 1) before the problem repeats. Most frustrating and the problem steers me to other more reliable word game apps.Show lessPortjunky
Volume issues
Since my iPhone upgrade, the sound is off on the game. The volume will get softer and the get louder again. It seems like the volume controller get stuck - left on the screen so that when you are swiping it thinks you want to change the volume. I usually have to pause the play, go to settings, turn the volume button off then on again to reset it. Is this a bug? Annoying but I haven’t needed to uninstall and then reinstall the game. Still love the game though. Sometimes it crashes when playing - usually when It is in blitz mode or the beginning of marathon mode. It is a good game, but this up-grade 2 days ago, has the screen with a big gap on the top.
(If you turn off the wi-fi, I don’t get ads.)
I hope I won’t have to uninstall and reinstall the game to get it to look right. That usually resets all your trophies and scores to 0.Show lessProgressin
Too many ads
I finish a game - then never see my result! The ads pop up so quickly when you finish that you don’t have time to see your personal score. So annoying. The ads are far too long, and one is very difficult to click out of, so you just leave the game out of frustration.Ysotricky
Frustrating and Waste of Time Due to Ads
I used to enjoy this app. But now the ads have made this unbearably frustrating. The ads are too long and prevent you from seeing your stats generate. Most of the time you can’t even see your stats. The ads also make it difficult to get back to your game. When to touch the screen it takes you to another game or ad to download. The app also crashes in the middle of the game sometimes. I don’t recommend until these issues are resolved.Show less2xnit
Driving me away with ads
I wouldn’t even call these ads, this feels like nagware. Just programmed to nag at you to pay the money to get rid of ads. I hate hate hate that business model and it actively makes me NOT want to use this app.
UPDATE: you can’t even pay to remove them. Which is like. The worst parts of nagware without that final hook. Even worse business model than I thought. This is an almost decent game put on the App Store as an Ad Farm. It’s bad. Literally full 30 sec ads between EVERY game. After like 3 rounds this game feels unplayable. Downgrading from 2 stars to 1 because the ads just get more annoying the more I play and makes me hate this game and it’s devs for doing this even more. You have a halfway decent game, if you added some multiplayer and global leaderboards and tidied up the ads this would not be a bad game. You completely ruined it with all the ads though. I can’t stress enough how when I like a game I will WILLINGLY click “watch ad for a reward” buttons in games. Ha, this one? Ha. Didn’t even give me the chance to grow fond. Just shoved the ads right down my throat.Show lessLlamaScarf
