I can stand the ad at the beginning but to have one in the middle of the game! Who does that!? It is distracting and so annoying and throws off your thought process! I have several of these cryptogram games that I play, but I find myself avoiding this one primarily for that mid puzzle interruption! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2025-07-04, version 1.10.0* I found this game and I love it but there are so many ads that I’m not even able to play it. I’ll have to find another one like this that isn’t so annoying. I would gladly pay to go ad free on this but I don’t think I’m able to. ### 2/5 — More ads than gameplay *2025-06-03, version 1.10.0* It’s already a pain that there are ads between every single level, and ads just to go back to the menu, but having ad breaks pop up DURING gameplay makes this app altogether unplayable. It’s a shame since the themes for each level are interesting (idioms, famous quotes, movie lines, etc.). ### 2/5 — Bad choice *2025-06-02, version 1.10.0* Love the game but the ads are ridiculous. Interrupts in the middle of play for an “ad break”. Don’t even bother downloading! ### 3/5 — Too Many Ads *2025-06-01, version 1.10.0* Great game but too many ad breaks during the game. The ad breaks are long (most over 90 seconds) that ruin the tranquility of the game. ### 4/5 — Too much ads *2025-05-12, version 1.10.0* There is a lot of unnecessary ads ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2025-05-10, version 1.10.0* Intrusive ads and not enough challenge. Also a waste of time having to fill in each letter you solve manually increasing odds of a “mistake” just because of a typo. Nope. ### 2/5 — Grrr ads *2025-05-08, version 1.10.0* This is a really fun game, but it is incredibly frustrating to be in the middle of a puzzle and get interrupted for an “ad break”. ### 2/5 — Fun to play…. But the ads are way too frustrating. Will probably delete this app. *2025-04-30, version 1.10.0* Even if I bought the no ads version they would probably stick some ads in. ### 2/5 — The ads are annoying *2025-04-24, version 1.10.0* If there was an option to take away the ads that pop up every few minutes then I would give it a 5 star, but because there isn’t that option it gets 3 stars. There aren’t any side activities to do just the one basic phrase that you work on. Very boring no excitement to the game. No prizes accept a free hint daily. Very blah app. ### 1/5 — ADS - too MANY *2025-04-04, version 1.10.0* No way to even get rid of the ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-08-25, version 1.10.0* Way to many ads!!! Played on android phone no ads. On apple I phone to many ads ### 1/5 — Stop with the ads *2025-07-20, version 1.10.0* Too many ads. This app is useless don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-07-12, version 1.10.0* I delete game apps when gameplay is interrupted by ads or the ads are too long. This game had ads mid-level, interrupting game play. ### 1/5 — Great game but way too many advertisements *2025-05-25, version 1.10.0* This is a great game, I enjoy playing it when I can actually play it. The game is spoilt by the amount of advertising during play. I don’t mind advertisements at the start or end but this game has them during the game as you are trying to work out the word. One game I had over 6 advertisements play whilst trying to fill in the letters. Makes the game harder as you try to remember what number is linked to the letter you’d found while the random advertisement is playing. ### 1/5 — WAY too many ads. Goodbye to this one. *2025-05-18, version 1.10.0* I downloaded this yesterday. I’ve been timing and logging the amount of time waiting for the ads to finish. And comparing the ad time to the playing time. For every minute I spent playing each game, figuring out the code, five minutes were spent waiting for the ads to finish. Why are the ads for your game so long compared to other games? In the end, this is ridiculous and a waste of my time. I’d rather buy the books with these than waste time playing your game. Or I give your competitors a try. ### 1/5 — Ads are trash *2025-04-26, version 1.10.0* Ads once per minute, seems like. Bombards the experience and takes away from the enjoyment of the game ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-04-18, version 1.10.0* I was enjoying it till all the ads staying popping up. Idc if you’re giving me coins, DONT interrupt in the middle of tha actual game itself. Before and after completing the puzzle sure but during?? No thank you, DELETING ### 1/5 — AN OBNOXIOUS AMOUNT OF ADS!!! *2025-04-09, version 1.10.0* I would have loved this game. But there are way too many ads! Ridiculous! There's no way to get a rhythm going because you're being CONSTANTLY interrupted by ads! Terrible! I'm deleting this game & d/l'ing another cryptogram game. I can't imagine how this game got a 4.9 rating! Any similar game has got to be better than this! ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-04-06, version 1.10.0* 30 seconds of playing - ads, try to hit the back button - ads, completed a puzzle - more ads. This app is so inundated with ads that you can’t even complete one puzzle without being slammed with advertisements after the intro puzzles. ### 1/5 — This app is better than other *2025-04-05, version 1.10.0* Word apps but if you’re gonna force us to watch ads then quit making the sound disappear fix the bug with the sound it’s not just your app but it’s everybody’s app but please fix this bug ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Game *2025-07-24, version 1.10.0* I really enjoy this game, but I’ve finished all of the categories. Can I start over? Can I get more quotes to decipher? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-03, version 1.10.0* Great game for old and young ### 5/5 — Love *2025-05-29, version 1.10.0* This is an awesome game. I love it ### 5/5 — Love the game but I need more puzzles *2025-05-16* I totally love this game. I don’t even mind the ads as they are significantly less than the other app I downloaded. My only complaint is I seem to have finished all of them. How can I get more added or do I just delete the app and call it done? ### 5/5 — Hoping for a new best word game *2025-05-12, version 1.10.0* no ads yet ### 5/5 — Omg!! *2025-04-18, version 1.10.0* There is no ads and is awesome!! Great mind puzzles!! ### 5/5 — Great game except that we are out of categories! *2025-03-31, version 1.10.0* This was a game I couldn’t stop playing. But without any categories to select, what happens now? Are there going to be upgrades? ### 5/5 — Cryptogram Master *2025-03-23, version 1.10.0* I love the fact that I don’t have to squint to figure it out. Thanks for making it so people with vision issues can play too! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-03-10, version 1.10.0* I really love this game. But it looks like I have run through all the levels. There is no place to buy any on the app. So once we’ve gone through all the levels, we’re done completely? Please let me know. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Sheba *2025-03-06, version 1.10.0* No interruptions --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
