Please address this, it’s no longer an option to play. ### 2/5 — Great,but……….. *2026-08-31* Truly a fantastic word brain teaser. The word sets really test your word and synonyms knowledge. Going through and recognizing the small differences in the same word to match a different phrase are really well done. That’s the where it stops. The ads and the forceful nature at which they are thrown at you is just crazy. Even during word sets they randomly pop up. You’ll also notice while the app/game is running, your phone will get very hot from battery usage. The battery usage is also crazy for a simple word game. It’s another great game ruined by greed. Be better. ### 2/5 — Playing *2026-08-26* This game freezes a lot. The only thing that keeps moving is the ad at the bottom. ### 3/5 — Freezes *2026-08-25, version 1.27.21499* Really enjoy the game but problem with the game freezing. ### 2/5 — Fun Until Even the AI Taps Out *2026-08-25* This game started out genuinely fun, and I enjoyed building word associations in the early levels. Unfortunately, the ads became super intrusive. As you progress, they pop up so frequently that they break your focus and disrupt the associations you’re trying to form. As the game gets harder, the associations also get more questionable. A donut being classified as a dessert might make sense in some places, but in the US…it does not. Or like “couple life stages” being dating, engagement, marriage… and divorce felt a bit ridiculous. Some were so off-the-wall that even the AI couldn’t figure them out, which at least made me feel less clueless. What bothered me most was that when you finally solve a tough association, the answer flashes by so fast that you barely see it before it turns into an icon. It takes away the satisfaction of actually understanding the connection. Overall, fun concept, but the ads and inconsistent logic really drag it down. But final note, I found it difficult to guard my privacy so in the end deleted the app. ### 2/5 — Fun game but super laggy *2026-08-25, version 1.27.21499* The game constantly messes up! I downloaded this game about a year ago and deleted it because it was causing my Iphone to glitch. I downloaded it to give it another try. Same thing started happening! I had to restart my phone several times. When I deleted it again, the issues went away. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-24, version 1.27.21499* The game itself is really fun but it glitches SO MUCH! You can barely get through a round without the phone freezing or the game itself becoming static. This is the only game I have that does that. Super annoying ### 3/5 — Fun but issues *2026-08-23, version 1.27.21499* I enjoy the game with the exception of two things. First, the ads can be way too long and often. Not having a way to buy a permanent ad-free version is very annoying. Secondly, the game freezes up my whole phone and sometimes the only thing I can do is shut it off. This is so frustrating that I’d stop playing if I weren’t earning points for playing. ### 3/5 — Association *2026-08-23, version 1.27.21499* Reasonably challenging but too many unavoidable ads. Especially in the middle of rounds. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-22* Ad break mid game? Really? And $4.99 PER WEEK to stop ads? Enjoying the game (although it’s not the one I saw initially) but nothing is worth $4.99/week! ### 4/5 — Fun but… *2026-08-19, version 1.27.21499* It’s a really fun game but it keeps freezing and it makes it frustrating. If it’s not the freezing it’s the frequency and length of the ads. I get they need to make money somewhere but really?? Still hooked though ### 3/5 — Froze *2026-08-18, version 1.27.21499* It froze when it said to pick a color. It’s annoying and I don’t need more annoying stuff in my life ### 3/5 — Glitches *2026-08-16, version 1.27.21499* Disappointed. A good game. Thought-provoking. But glitches causing the game to freeze have become too annoying. ### 2/5 — Bugs, ads, boring *2026-08-14* I downloaded the game from another money rewarding app. This was one of the games I could play as an incentive for every level I complete. I too of the long drawn out ads, the app crashes, freezes and glitches every 1 minute. It starts to get annoying. It’s to the point where it will freeze my phone every time I try to swipe out of the app to refresh it and thus is literally within every 5 minutes. It definitely needs lots of updating. And this game also does not offer side quests or daily rounds to make it more interesting. No free way to gain hints unless you watch an add. Usually other apps offer some side challenges to offer free gains on hints or anything. It’s very boring and little push to get through these levels because it’s just one level to the next. That’s all it offers. My first to leaving a review that’s how bad it is ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game——TERRIBLE ANNOYING ADDS EVERY 3 minutes *2026-08-25, version 1.27.21499* I really tried to not delete it.At the end…DELETE.This is the most annoying, obstructive game since I have iPads (2016). The number of the adds that come out is terrible. Kills every desire to play. And they give you an option only 7 days/3$ no adds. What a bs. Never again Don’t recommend at all. There are lot of games that actually don’t have adds. ### 1/5 — Deception to get you to download *2026-08-24, version 1.27.21499* Their add shows states, countries matching which would be great for learning but the game is nothing as depicted. Couple that with stupid ads for almost exactly the same games with no way to click out of them AND additional ads in the middle of game play “ad break. Deleted. Just some cheetoh finger lickers trying to get paid for simple “coding” of common frameworks already available with mild deviations. Not sure which is worse, these developers or the ones that pay for their ads to be shown and ignored. ### 1/5 — I didn't know what in the hell to do *2026-08-24, version 1.27.21499* Made me feel stupid, so deleted it already. I just wanted to match states to a map. ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads *2026-08-22, version 1.27.21499* The ads are very long and app freezes often. I thought it would be an interesting game but hard to get into with the ads. The Farmers Dog ad lasts forever and repeats constantly. Looking for something less of a waste of time. ### 1/5 — I Beg You! *2026-08-20, version 1.27.21499* For the love of Pete, allow me to buy out of the ads! The game is unplayable as is. Deleted after 30 minutes of play. ### 1/5 — Game so far *2026-08-19, version 1.27.21499* I would like a game that gave the topic and me pick the 4 things ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-18, version 1.27.21499* If you like watching ads this game is for you . Can’t even play for 20 seconds without having to watch a long ad ### 1/5 — Adverts *2026-08-17, version 1.27.21499* Could be a fab game but some of the adverts are so long its ridiculous you watch the seconds tick off 119 down pathetic ### 1/5 — Kenny *2026-08-16, version 1.27.21499* Annoyingly gives hints. Hardly an intellectual challenge. Deleted it! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-15, version 1.27.21499* Locked up my phone multiple times ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-24, version 1.27.21499* Matching word game ### 5/5 — Association Game *2026-08-23, version 1.27.21499* I love the music in the background. It’s also hide to engage the mind with something that isn’t super hard but still requires neurons. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-18, version 1.27.21499* Fun game ### 5/5 — Strengthen My Mind *2026-08-18, version 1.27.21499* I just love this game!!! It helps me keep my brain healthy, functioning, focus and alert being that I am over 40 and have teenagers! Great game and I would recommend it to anyone and every one of all ages especially if you are into puzzles. ### 5/5 — Associations colorwood game review *2026-08-15, version 1.27.21499* This game is really fun and it lets you use your brain. Fun for learning cus sometimes I don’t know what a word is but most of the time I know what it is. But good job developers for making this game this is 10 out of 10 with a thumbs up. Good day yall. ### 5/5 — The Cheeky Charm of Colorwood *2026-08-13, version 1.27.21499* Colorwood turns matching into a full‑blown charm offensive. It’s witty, quick, and cheeky enough to make even your serious side crack a smile. Play long enough and you’ll start believing your brain has a sense of humor. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-11, version 1.27.21499* I love solving the puzzles with that relaxing music and the sound the tiles make. Very calming and fun! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-11, version 1.27.21499* Really awesome game some categories make you think what in common ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-07, version 1.26.21346* It’s a really fun game and it teaches you how to do hand eye coordination so that’s really helpful ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2026-08-06, version 1.26.21346* Easy enough to complete and tough enough to be challenging! Live a game that makes me think! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
