When you start to play and you have to ad more words. Breaks ads just to get other row of word. That gets tedious. That’s when it’s time to uninstall the game. ### 3/5 — Ads to really play *2026-07-16, version 2.9.6* Even when paying for no ads, ads are littered through the gameplay when you run out of moves. Sneaky way to charge users but still milk for ad revenue. ### 3/5 — Fun Game *2026-07-02, version 2.9.6* Its fun i enjoy playing really enjoy playing. Its just FTP ads amount is ridiculous. ### 4/5 — I like but *2026-06-03, version 2.9.6* Too many ads ### 3/5 — Long ads *2026-04-24, version 2.9.6* Game is fun but the ads are so long & you have to constantly watch ads ### 2/5 — This game *2026-04-15, version 2.9.6* It is good not great I need to have more than 3 lives and why so much words on level 1 or 2???? Like, Hello? Why???? I don’t like it and the app should be happy I even downloaded this game cuz if I knew how bad it was I wouldn’t have gotten it (My advice don’t get this game) ### 4/5 — 😔 *2026-03-26, version 2.9.6* it’s kinda too hard to move the lines it’s kinda delayed ### 4/5 — Not for beginners *2026-03-16, version 2.9.6* The game is good and challenging, but not for beginners. It would be nice to have games that finish on the first round. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-13, version 2.9.6* Good game but way too many ads. For any thing and everything there is an ad. You win there is an ad. You lose there is an ad. You need to add words there is an ad. The ads are freaking long. ### 4/5 — Its a pretty good game if you ask me *2026-03-04, version 2.9.6* I think its pretty fun there are not lots of adds which is good! It's nice fun and creative. I will say the only thing I'm not ok with is the words are a little hard for some children and maybe words like beer and wine could not be the best I would change that and that's it I recommend you give it a try!!! ### 3/5 — Not really ad-free *2026-02-28, version 2.9.6* Paid for ad-free and still soooooo many long ads. Super frustrating, especially since there are no instructions on how to play! ### 3/5 — Some incorrect associations *2026-02-23, version 2.9.6* Please sort out the groups, Greece appearing in the Italy group is ridiculous given that it is a totally different country and there is no connection between these countries ### 4/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads *2026-02-20, version 2.9.6* I get it, ads are necessary, but there are way too many ads. I truly like the game but I can only stand it for a short time. Too bad! ### 3/5 — mishaps *2026-02-16, version 2.9.6* i never write reviews but i was doing one of the levels and the ocean animals were right next to each other nothing near them but it just took my last life when ik it was correct otherwise this is a really fun game ### 3/5 — Unklare Zuordnung *2026-02-11* Manche Wörter passen in mehrere Kategorien, z.B. passten in einem Level „Paprika“ und „Tomate“ nicht zusammen. Wäre schön, wenn sich die Kategorien deutlich voneinander unterscheiden lassen würden. Ebenso muss man bei vielen Wörtern erst mal googeln, weil man sie noch nie gehört hat. ### 2/5 — My rating *2026-02-04, version 2.9.6* It’s a fun game overall, but there are too many ads! ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-30, version 2.9.6* I enjoy playing but not if I get ads after every couple of moves. It get very frustrating waiting for the ad to end. ### 3/5 — Fun but…. *2026-01-27, version 2.9.6* Love the game, but you get stuck in the ad. The ad played in excess of 60 seconds. No small x to touch, nowhere to close it, only the arrows popping up the App Store. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad design *2026-06-16, version 2.9.6* Worst game design EVER! After you’ve made a bunch of category “associations”and have just a few left to connect, you CAN’T if they’re in between others without also including the one you don’t want. The whole page can be finished, but you can’t connect the last few because they’re not positioned in the spot where it’s possible. If there’s 3 on top of each other YOU CAN’T connect the top word to the bottom word within including the one in between. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-15, version 2.9.6* Too many ads and can’t even exit out of them. I always end up closing the app and then reopening ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-03-04, version 2.9.6* This game sucks it is about porn and is good on cover. Hate do not play. ### 1/5 — Too many adds . Touching the bars complicates *2026-02-25* Game is good but removing extra adds makes it better **Developer response:** Hi, MrM5728—thanks for your feedback. Associations is free to play, and ads help keep it accessible for everyone. If you’d like an ad-free experience, you can remove them via the No Ads option in the game. ### 1/5 — More ads then game time! *2026-02-24, version 2.9.6* Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-11, version 2.9.6* Bought no ads and there’s still ads ### 1/5 — Associations Word Connections *2026-02-06, version 2.9.6* Way too many advertisements!!! Ridiculous ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-02-04, version 2.9.6* You can’t even get far in the game because there’s an add every other minute it’s so annoying ### 1/5 — I hate this game *2026-01-11, version 2.9.6* This game sucks it took all my progress away and made me pay and took all my money. Never get this game.

Word association mixed with strategy with a dash of vocabulary makes for a delightful game. ### 5/5 — American? *2026-03-19, version 2.9.6* I hate to tell you but American is not a race. ### 5/5 — The best! *2026-01-29, version 2.9.6* I personally don’t like puzzle games, but this one game got me on my phone solving for hours. I cannot get enough of this and if you’re sick of doing anything else, you could just pick this up and just play I think everyone should at least have this game on their phone cause it’s wonderful so please get it like seriously you’re gonna love it!😝😝💕💕💕 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-01-14, version 2.9.6* I have been playing this game for a few years, I think, and I still love it! You really do learn new words, logic, and techniques/strategies for getting to the end of each game! I only wish it had a dictionary of the words! I am always surprised to learn something new! ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-01-09, version 2.9.6* it’s so satisfying lol ### 5/5 — Play with me *2026-01-08, version 2.9.6* AMAZING ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2025-12-01, version 2.9.6* This game kept me from getting bored and the best part was it does NOT need internet From:Bailey Nicole miller To:The internet :D ### 5/5 — Amélioration de langue *2025-12-01* Le jeu est excellent comme beaucoup de jeux de hittaps games seulement les traductions seraient à améliorer sinon il y a pas mal de pub mais ça reste raisonnable. **Developer response:** Bonjour Jess-SROL, merci pour votre retour !
