Obnoxious adds

The adds were so annoying I deleted the app. Absolutely maddening

Great

It’s been helping me learn new words. Occasionally I’ll get stumped and while looking for information about what it could be I learn something new

Very factual and fun game

My pros about this game is that there is many interesting answers and facts that me and the average Joe would not know a lot about, it Is also very educational for certain school subjects (especially social studies and science), it is also fun in general and I make a habit about playing it everyday, and there is also no wifi required to play it so i can play it while camping and on the airplane. The one big con I have about this game is the exact same repetitive ads they are just annoying in general and I wish the game could offer a subscription that could permanently remove any type of ad showed to all players who dispise ads the most. But overall, this is a really satisfactory game and I recommend it to all big trivia buffs out there!!!

Not working

Game stopped working all of a sudden. I rebooted my phone. I reinstalled the app. Still nothing.

It has gone ad intensive

Great game but it has gone too ad crazy. Ling ads and lots of them.

Déception

Mon jeu ne fonctionne plus depuis deux jours

Too many ads, not worth it

This used to be my favourite game to play to fall asleep to. Now there’s ad’s before and after every single puzzle. It’s extremely frustrating and takes every bit of joy out of the app. Makes it harder to fall asleep if anything and have to find something else. Majority of people can’t pay for no ads with the cost of living. Really sad to see this one go to waste.

Password archive??

Love this game but it would be perfect if we had access to Password archive puzzles. If it is available in the extra purchases I can’t find it. It’s the best wordle-type puzzle available as one can enter letters out of order while considering the solution. But there is only one per day. Please give access to archives.

Beaucoup trop de pubs

Il y a beaucoup trop de publicités maintenant c’est non jouable

Aplicativo de anúncios com um jogo de palavras cruzadas

Sinceramente, vocês estão passando alguma necessidade?! Tá impossível jogar com tanto anúncio. É anúncio ao abrir o jogo, é anúncio ao iniciar uma fase, é a anúncio pra qualquer coisa! Mesmo fechando o aplicativo e abrindo de novo, eu sou OBRIGADA a assistir um anúncio pra poder jogar. Eu tenho limite de tempo pra usar o meu celular, e nesse tempo livre (Que eu deveria estar jogando) eu passo mais tempo assistindo anúncio do que iogando o próprio jogo. Fora que não dá pra jogar sem internet. Tô a um passo de desinstalar isso, até porque baixei o jogo pra me divertir enquanto jogo, não pra ficar vendo anúncios que não me interessam.

Response from developer

Oi, Máyra. Entendemos sua frustração, principalmente quando você quer aproveitar seu tempo livre jogando. Os anúncios ajudam a manter o CodyCross gratuito para todos, mas a experiência não deve deixar de ser divertida por causa disso. Os níveis dos mundos podem ser jogados offline. Também queremos ouvir melhor sua opinião sobre os anúncios e sua experiência no jogo. Por favor, envie uma mensagem pelo CodyCross: toque nas 3 barrinhas no canto superior direito » Ajustes » Ajuda » Fale Conosco.

Too many ads

When I downloaded this app there were no ads. Then a few ads, then even more ads and now the ads are way too frequent and too long. And to make matters worse, they’re the same disgusting ads over and over and over and over and over and over again. Annoying, isn’t it!!! It should be grandfathered in for those of us who signed up without the ads. Will be deleting this which is a shame as I truly enjoy doing the crosswords.

Ads and more ads

Ads just to start a level as well as ads after a level. Likely will also start to get ads during a level.

Good game, terrible ads

I really enjoy this game and it’s helped me expand my French vocabulary. However I had to delete it because the ads were too much. I understand the need to support your service but they are very long, misleading and hard to exit. I am a tech savvy person and I sometimes found it difficult to exit the ad without opening the App Store. I know an 80 year old woman who uses this app daily and I think it would be very easy for her to buy something she doesn’t want because of the way these ridiculous ads work. In this context it’s exploitative. So yeah I won’t use it anymore because of this. There should be some oversight for the ads you allow to protect your older userbase.

Great game, but…

The game is great. It is challenging, entertaining & enjoyable. But.. way too many ads. I understand the need for ads, but there are so many , it makes me want to uninstall the game.

I don’t play it anymore.

This was a fun game that was challenging, but the ad for the stupid game where the mother is in dire straits with her baby requires that a play along forever and won’t let me “x” out. Unacceptable.

Great Game

Whilst I thoroughly enjoy this game and have completed quite a few worlds, I find it really annoying that you have to watch the same advert at least twice maybe even 3 times to be able to move on to next level. I understand that it’s probably these so called ADVERTS that allow me to play the game for free, but come on once watching Royal Match is bad enough 2-3times on the trot is a bit too much

New Policy Is Not Good!

Popup came up saying to review & accept new policies. Privacy policy includes giving them permission to have things I don’t want them to have - LIKE MY IP ADDRESS! That’s a big NO! I’m sad because it’s fun to play, but the new policy has me NOPING OUT! Deleted the app.

Unable To Play

I'm not able to move on to the next puzzle. All I get are ads for other games.

Love Cody Cross

I’ve played Cody Cross every day for years. Beginning yesterday, I can no longer get the game to load. Please help

Great game spoiled by the adverts

This is a really great game. It can get a bit repetitive but I was really enjoying it. Then the adds started. They are frequent. Every time I open it or try to change activity there is an add. Then they load for over 30 seconds and they are difficult to get rid of. The adverts don’t disappear on their own. If there was a way to pay a subscription to remove the adverts I couldn’t find it. I can accept a few adverts but this is ridiculous.
