The ads STILL appeared! Now they want an additional $7.99 to go ad-free. I’m just going to stop playing and find a new game app altogether. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused! Please note that only the Ad-Free option disables ads in the game. We’re sorry for the confusion and appreciate your feedback. For any questions or a refund request, please contact us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai. – Laura ### 3/5 — Can’t read the numbers *2025-01-18* I really enjoy this game except that I have trouble distinguishing between a 3 and a 5 and between a 6 and an 8 sometimes. When I make a mistake because I couldn’t tell what number it is it is very frustrating **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your kind support! We will forward your request to our product team and continue to optimize our game to deliver a better and better gaming experience. Please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai with any feedback. Hopefully, our continued improvement will finally win your 5th star! Thanks again! :-) - Ray ### 4/5 — Great game! *2024-12-19* This is one of the best cryptogram games that I’ve played! It is aesthetically pleasing and the quotes are fun to unlock! The ads however are very long, and I would like to purchase the no ads option, but unfortunately the button does not work. I have tried to do this through three different apple devices so it is not a problem with the device or the screen being unable to select the “buy” option. Very disappointing that the no ads pop up on the home screen does not actually allow you to buy it. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback! We are sorry for this inconvenience. This issue about the no-ads option has been resolved. We’d love another chance to earn your trust. Could you please give it a try? If anything else, please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai. Hopefully, our continued improvement will win your 5 stars. Thank you very much for the support! :-) - Ray ### 4/5 — lame *2024-12-16* you don't give the option of not highlighting the correct letter so the game is extremely stupid because you're telling us what the answer is ### 4/5 — The best cryptogram game in the App Store. *2024-12-15* The ads in this app aren’t NEARLY as intrusive as any of the other ones. They use banner ads (some of them pause music/videos) and the only time they force you to watch full screen ads is if you’re unlocking a new category (sometimes they pop up after you’ve finished a level but not nearly as much as the other apps.) two things I’d change: 1) some ads pausing media and 2) add an option to turn off auto scroll. Other than those things, I love this app 💜 **Developer response:** Hi, thank you very much for the support! As a startup, every review matters very much to us. If you think of any way we can improve going forward, please reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai with any feedback at all. Hopefully our continued improvement will earn your 5th star! Thanks! :-) - May ### 5/5 — Cryptogram: Word Puzzle Master *2024-12-03* Regarding Ads on playing area. Please can you move the Ads off the bottom of the Mode area. I have completed the Tutorial and selected the Mode I want to play, but unable to confirm as the Ad bar is over the confirmation. Please fix this problem as I would really,really, really like to be able to play this game. I will also give it a better rating once this problem is fixed. It looks a really great game, just unplayable at the moment 😰 Thank you and hope to be able to play this soon😄 ****UPDATE**** Thank you so much for fixing the Mode area, I am really enjoying this game and giving it the 5 stars it deserves. Thanks Developers for a great game😄😄 **Developer response:** Hi, your 5-star review means the world to us! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying our app and finding it useful. Please let us know at cryptogram@gurugame.ai if there's anything else we can do to improve your experience. :-) - May ### 5/5 — Thought it was good, BUT *2024-12-01* Just downloaded this, got through the teaching levels, but can’t go any further because an add link covers the button to choose to play as beginner, expert, or master. **Developer response:** Hello, so sorry for the inconvenience brought to you. Could you please kindly give us another chance? The newest version has resolved the issue. If anything else, please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai.

The code games challenge my mind in the best way possible. It's just a very nice choice to kill time.👍👍 ### 5/5 — Extremely educational *2024-10-22* Contexto in cryptogram adds an interesting twist.

To help us locate and improve the levels, it would be very helpful if you could share the specific level numbers or any screenshots of the repetition.

Thank you for your patience and support! - Shy ### 1/5 — March 9th puzzle inoperative! No app support! *2025-07-22* After several failed attempts at recreating the puzzles to be more helpful in alleviating memory issues in elders, the makers of this game finally understood my input of NOT placing the letters into puzzles too many times, thereby making them more substantial for one to think & solve using their brains more effectively. This staves off Alzheimer’s disease, creates better focus & keeps memory issues at bay. Thank you puzzle creators for FINALLY accepting my severe critique of your game & making it a game worthy of supporting & giving 2 VERY HIGH THUMBS UP! I hope it will continue to thrive & become a staple in many peoples lives for many years to come! **Developer response:** Hi, we really appreciate your kind words! If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai. We will continue to optimize our app to deliver a better gaming experience. Thanks a lot for your support! :-) - May ### 1/5 — March 9th puzzle inoperative! No app support! *2025-03-09* Puzzles MUST BE GIVEN FULL APP SUPPORT, COMPLETE WITH A LIVE HUMAN BEING SEEING WHEN A PART OF APP IS IN DISTRESS TO ITS PLAYERS! Failure to objectively care for your game & concern for your players should be your NUMBER ONE PLACE TO BEGIN FIXING THE ISSUES THAT ARISE. IE: March 9th, 2025 puzzle of the day DOES NOT OPEN! IT HAS ONLY A WHITE SCREEN COME UP! **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the issue with the March 9th puzzle! Please send us a screenshot so we can investigate and resolve it as soon as possible. Your experience matters to us, and we appreciate your patience. Contact us anytime at cryptogram@gurugame.ai—we’re here to help! Sarah ### 1/5 — Ripoff! *2025-03-01* I paid these clowns 8 bucks to stop showing me ads but now I can’t complete a level without watching a ridiculously long ad. I’ve never been more angry with an app in my life. This has to be illegal. What absolute garbage! ### 1/5 — Paid for No ads, Ads still show up *2025-01-07* It is absolutely infuriating to pay $7.99 to remove ads permanently, only to continue to see then an the time. At this point It's like a refund and to uninstall and never play this have again. Also, the font and numbers are too small. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your kind support. The Remove Ads service is for removing the Banner Ads, and the Pop-up Ads between each level. But the Bonus Videos(such as for double hints) are not removed. This is mentioned in the purchase information. If anything else, please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai. Thanks again! :-) - Ray ### 1/5 — Won’t allow you to continue to the next level *2024-12-06* Game was fun but it wouldn’t allow you to move forward in the game so I deleted the app **Developer response:** Hello, so sorry for the inconvenience brought to you.

Thanks a lot for your support and patience! :-) - Sarah ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2024-12-02* I nearly didn’t download this game because it always seems to have an American flag in the ad.But I took the plunge only to find that there is an ad stuck over the end of the introductory guide making it Impossible to carry on any further. The text was also impossibly small. I am about to delete it but wanted to comment first. Not worth downloading, at least until they sort it out. **Developer response:** Hello, so sorry for the inconvenience brought to you. Could you please kindly give us another chance? The newest version has resolved the issue. If anything else, please feel free to reach us at cryptogram@gurugame.ai.

The music is annoying, and plays even when my phone is on silent. But I just turn the volume down. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-12-04* I used to do this in word puzzle books in pencil. This is just as fun and easier to erase. Lol 😆 **Developer response:** Hi, we are very glad that you enjoy our app! We really value your support and welcome further comments.
