I have reported this to the Game Center previously but the ads didn’t stop, they amplified. Good thing PayPal investigates these scams. Order a huge bouquet and you get a one dollar twig. ### 2/5 — Game is ok *2026-08-29, version 1.122.2* But the adverts are relentless. More ad then game so it has to go. ### 2/5 — Not what I wanted. *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* I don’t want cross words. I want the relational games like those on the description. (Rain forest; forest fire) ### 3/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-27* Too many pop ups. About to delete game. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* Great game, enjoy playing but plagued with adds, play for 30 seconds then anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds of adds..makes it hard to enjoy after a while ### 3/5 — Good apart from adverts *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* Hate the adverts ### 3/5 — Game is Unable to be Played *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* Your new update that included unnecessary pop up ads which make it impossible to play the game is very disappointing. Please bring the fun game that I used to know and love back and get rid of the new Amazon movie pop up ads. ### 2/5 — Great game besides the AI slop *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* This game is actually really cool concept and I dedicated a lot of my time into levels. I really liked the mechanics and how solving the puzzle worked. Only problem I have is the “art” is solely AI. there’s not even that much art in the game or images but it’s all AI. The profile pictures, the event images. It makes the game look tacky. Had to delete solely bc of the AI images used for every image. It just hurts my eyes to look at. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-08-25* This is a fun game if you can put up with pop up ads while watching ads. Got pretty sickening and I deleted this app. ### 3/5 — Ad riddled fun *2026-08-25, version 1.122.2* Good game but insane lengthy ads that distract and detract from the fun. ### 3/5 — Greedy *2026-08-25, version 1.122.2* game is fun, I just find it really greedy to have to pay for ad removal for a certain amount of time instead of getting rid of them forever ### 3/5 — Battery Vampire *2026-08-24, version 1.122.2* Great game but it absolutely destroys my iPhone 15 pro max’s battery!! ### 4/5 — Thought-Provoking *2026-08-24* This is a very good puzzle type! I like that it seems to be similar to a crossword puzzle but can offer more hints. However, I would love to see the 2-letter answers have some complexity rather than simply the first letter of each word. I also would like to see a way to present longer clues. Maybe you could tap on the clue and get more info. Kind of like you can make the pictures larger when you tap on them. Right now I would give it a 4.5/5! It’s is a very enjoyable game! ### 4/5 — Good Game *2026-08-23, version 1.122.2* It is a nice and challenging game. However I cannot play too long because my phone freezes and gets really hot. Maybe two games before I have to get out of it and clear my app and then open it back up. ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads! *2026-08-22, version 1.122.2* This was fun, at first… and then the ads got more frequent - in the middle of game play, not just between games. Also many ads hard to close - have to click on multiple X and arrows and ‘close’ and wait for timers. Not enjoyable any more! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ridiculous adds *2026-08-31, version 1.122.2* Not just an add after each game but yes an add after each turn so sick of it will find another game ### 1/5 — Almost a great game *2026-08-30, version 1.122.2* I was suffering through the ads until they became more than game play. I just had a forced (middle-of-the-puzzle) ad for a golf app that lasted almost two minutes with no skip. And it was a 4-tapper. The game is nice but I’m not paying $30 to remove ads from it. I would’ve give the app 4 stars at least but you get 1 star for greed. Come up with a permanent ad removal under $5 and I’ll change my rating. ### 1/5 — Now even more adds *2026-08-29, version 1.122.2* I love the game, but will no longer be playing with the introduction of “Ad Breaks”. Some developers are just too greedy. Games are fun until the ads outweigh the entertainment/fun provided. ### 1/5 — Total Failure *2026-08-28* I downloaded this game yesterday but started to play only today. After level 10 I decided to delete this game. Ads after every level. It’s so irritating. I wanted to give my review before I delete this game. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-27* A very challenging game but gonna uninstall cuz too many ads every single sec. ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2026-08-26, version 1.122.2* It pops up with a ridiculous amount of ads. Multiple for one game. Not worth it because the game is not exciting enough for that ### 1/5 — New ads are beyond annoying *2026-08-25, version 1.122.2* There were always ads, but a recent update means you’re dealing with several ads during each round. It’s obnoxious and awful, for a game I’ve gotten used to as my falling asleep ritual. I can’t finish a puzzle without swiping away at least a dozen ads every 30 seconds or so. I’m done, unless yall change it back. ### 1/5 — Advertised as having no ads. *2026-08-25, version 1.122.2* Guess what? There were ads. ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2026-08-25* After level 13, there’s an ad after every move you complete. Have to pay monthly to avoid ads. I’d pay if it was a 1 time fee. Could have been a good game. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-08-22, version 1.122.2* Promo said no ads. Guess what? Ads and lots of them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-29, version 1.122.2* I enjoy the games but too many annoying ads that interrupt the game. Don’t recommend it ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-29* I love playing this crossword game. The only things I wish were different were the level up titles. I seem to have reached the highest level possible. The other thing is the time between when one challenge chart for the top score ends and the next one begins. Wish it automatically went to the next challenge. Also, sometimes the clues don’t match the answers. Like showing a block of Swiss cheese and the answer is “cheddar” or the clue “A in German” with the answer being “Ein” (which is incorrect). But to me those are minor things. I still love playing it, ### 5/5 — Crossword go *2026-08-27, version 1.122.2* Good for the brain😊 ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-25, version 1.122.2* Me play for 2 day straight and me have good time ### 5/5 — Picture clues *2026-08-24* Challenging, but not overly so. The clues are fun to solve. Great way to pass time. ### 5/5 — One of the best games! *2026-08-19, version 1.122.2* I have to admit that this is one of the best games in a while that I have downloaded and played. I was specifically looking for a brain-teaser to keep me engaged and thinking outside the box, and this checks every box and more! Download it and you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — SuzyQ7562 *2026-08-18, version 1.122.2* Awesome ### 5/5 — Surprise surprise *2026-08-17, version 1.122.2* This game is surprisingly delicious. Very unexpected playground. I can’t put it down. Well actually I hsve to put it down for thst 60 seconds of advertising SPAM. Other-than-that, Superb game playing! ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-08-17, version 1.122.2* Too many ads but other than that addicting ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-11, version 1.122.2* This game really challenges and gets your brain thinking !! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
